Widespread popularization of the
twelve days campaign for the raising
Of 100000 for the erection of new
Emergency Hospital was the echo from
reports submitted by captains of the
various teams at the daily luncheon
yesterday afternoon. Workers in the
crusade made clear with numerous in
stances that the entire city, irrespective
of classes, was becoming awakened to
the worthiness of the cause, and was
responding to the call for money.
The fund yesterday afternoon reached
s61, l5270 The amount reported at the
luncheon for the day was 81, 1855 Cap
tains of many of the teams announced
that they had been promised generous
subscriptions from numerous sources,
but were not at present in a position to
report them officially. They will be
made public in a day or two.
Subscriptions announced yesterday
ranged from cents to $1,000. A. c.
Moses, captain of team G, reported that
subscription lists are now being circu-
lated among the employees of the Poto-
mac Electric Power Company, the Ra-
leigh Hotel, the New Willard, the South
ern Railway offices, and the Washington

is displaying one of them. All of the
White House machines have banners at

headquarters last Tuesday by Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson who is intensely inter-
ested in the project.
