this unusual engagement should meet
with tremendous success. II will be
remembered that upon Mr.. LADDERS

TO
TAKE CHARGE OF
WARFUND NAMED

Judge 8. B. Dole. chairman of the
meeting held to organize movement
for raising funds in Hawaii for those
made widows and orphans In Europe,
this morning announced the selection
OF a committee to have charge of the
work. ...:.. II.
The committee and an urgent call
for generous response to the need
for funds are contained in the follow
ing announcement from Mr.. Dole:
Having been elected chairman of the
meeting recently held to consider the
matter OF raising funds for those made
widows and orphans by the present
war in Europe, IL became my duty to
select a committee of five who should
have charge Of the enterprise. At
such meeting information was re-
ceived that ALREADY considerable con-
tributions were being forwarded by
German residents to the German Red
Cross fund, and by british residents
to the widows and orphans fund in
England. II became therefore prob
able fiat the collections to be made
by such committee would come mainly
from the neutral residents of the ter
ritory. In view, therefore, OF such
probability II seemed to me that 1t
would be the 0est policy to make up
such committee from among the citi-
zens of neutral countries.
The very definite insistence was
voiced at the meeting that whatever
funds should leach the Fommitte5
should be realized by the proposed
beneficiaries without diminntion by
way of commissions or other charges,
expenses OF exchange only excepted;
and that there should be an equal di-
vision of such funds between the op-
posing sides.
Those present and those represent
ed by letters were unanimously in
sympathy with the enterprise.
as II not the moral obligation that
is upon us to relieve suffering as we
have opportunity, enhanced by the cir
cumstance that the business distress
caused by the war in the areas of its
operations and those adjacent thereto,
is materially augmenting the prospect.
