In the east the Germans, although maxi

that they are sending troops and artil-

That the enterprise that failed in Flan-

COLLEGE WOMEN'S CLUB
HONORS ITS PRESIDENT
Reception Held in Red Room of New
Willard Hotel for Miss Eliza
beth Brown.

The College women's Club held a re-
ception in the red room of the New
Willard Hotel last night in honor of
Miss Elizabeth v. Brown, the president,
who presided for the first time since
her election last spring.
Miss Brown was introduced to the
nearly 200 members by Miss Ann
Pierce. The meeting after the recep-
tion was informal. Miss Edna Sheehy
sang two groups of songs and Miss
Grace Ross gave a recitation.
The feature of the evening was the
reading by Miss Brown of diary
written by Miss Margaret Bell Merrill
of her experiences in the war zone this
summer. Miss Merrill was in Switzer-
land at the beginning of the war, and
her trials in getting out of that coun-
try into Italy and finally home to the
United States as a steerage passenger,
as read by Miss Brown, proved of great
interest to the members of the club.
Especially entertaining. judging from
the applause. was an original poem
written by Miss Merrill entitled, '"The
Ballad of the Return of the Refugees"
Besides Miss Brown, the officers of
the club are: Miss Emma Harper
Turner, vice president; Mrs. George
F. Bowerman, second vice president; !;
Miss Alice Deal. recording secretary;
Mrs. John r. Weyrich, corresponding
secretary, and Miss Ella Given, treas
urer,

SHORT ENuSTMENTS
TO PROVIDE RESERVE
Secretary of War Suggests Honor
able Discharge on Attainment
of Military Proficiency.

To obtain reserves for the army. Sec
retary Garrison. in his annual report to.
Congress, probably will recommend a
radical change in the enlistment law.
The neutrality policy of the admins
tration may restrain him from referring
to the European war, but II is known that
events in the great conflict have con-
WINGED the Secretary of War that this
country cannot have an adequate system
of national defense without a large re-
serve for both the regular army and the
National Guard. As the organized militia
is being modelled after the regular army
the governors of the various states are
expected to adopt the same policy in en-
hstment and reserves as the federal gov
Crnment.
Secretary Garrison does not think that
two years are required to fit man for
infantry service. He will therefore ask
Congress to so amend the enlistment law
as to permit officers to authorize the
honorable discharge of enlisted men AS
soon as they become proficient He would
have men enlist for three or four years
under such terms that they could pass to
the reserves even as early six months
AT the end of six months or year he
would have them honorably discharged
with an obligation to return to the colors
in the event of war.
With a short term of enlistment the
Secretary is of opinion that a great many
high school and college students could he
induced to enter the army. The scheme
would not only provide reserves with
which to bring the army to a war
strength in the event of hostilties, hut
would induce high class enlistment in the
service, he believes.
The Secretary of War thinks that Con-
gress should at least give the scheme "A
thorough try-out. Recognizing that
something should be done to strengthen
the army. it is expected he will urge
Congress to act at the next session.

RED CROSS DONATIONS
ARE P|T|FU[LY SMALL
Peace Sunday Contributions Turned
in So Far Amount to Only
$5,661.

In proportion to the desperate need
of funds in the vast field where the
European war is spreading desolation
the returns from the peace Sunday col
lections. made in response to the appeal
of the American Red Cross with the
Endorsement of the President, have
been pitiably small thus far.
A week has passed since peace Sun
day. Donations from churches of all
denominations and creeds in support
of the urgent mission of mercy of the
Red Cross among suffering hundreds
of thousands amount to only s5.SS1.
Especial attention is called to this ia ct
because it is feared the public at large
believed there would be a generous re-
sponse through the churches to the
Red Cross call.
There are instances of liberal contri-
buttons from churches. Numerous
country churches probably helped to
the best of their ability.
Through the generosity of the Rus
sian-American steamship line the
American Red Cross has been afforded
an opportunity to send more hospital
and surgical supplies without trans
portation charge to Russia. On the
steamer Dwinsk. which will sail from
New York Monday for ArchangeI, an
additional Russian consignment OF
5000 pounds of bandages and 1O(
stretchers will be sent.
The German embassy received the fol-
lowing wireless from Berlin concerning e
the Red Cross relief expeditions:
American hospital ship Red Cross
has arrived at Rotterdam. The delega-
tion was welcomed there by the Ger
man and Austrian conSuls and is pro-
ceeding to Bentheim. where a recep-
tion is arranged for them by the presi-
dent of the town. Then they will pro-
ceed to Berlin.

will stay at Breslau, and the Austrian
section at Vienna"

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
APPROVES COTTON LOAN
Currency Experts Believe Raising Of

The federal reserve board last night

The federal reserve board last night
announced its approval, in principal.
of the plan for a northumberland
million dollar loan fund to take
care of the surplus cotton crop.

to Festus J. Wade of St. Louis, one of
the hackers of the plan, said that while
the board could not express itself upon
just administration of such fund

pressed the hope that banks and mer-
chants would subscribe. His letter in
full follows:

ton that Il fund of S150.000,00O be
raised by subscription from banks.

chants for the purpose of rendering
assistance to the cotton growers and
merchants of the United States until
the present abnormal conditions caused
by the European war have been termI-
mated and normal conditions restored.
Would Aid Restoration.
Il am directed by the board to state
to you that while it cannot. very nat
urally, express itself upon the details
of the plan as to personnel of manage
ment, commissions, interest rates, etc,
it is of opinion that the raising of
such ID fund the amount indicated,
and it's administration justly and fairly
upon reasonable terms and conditions,
would go far toward the restoration OF
normal conditions and would rebound
to the benefit not only of those inter-
ested in the production, movement and
manufacturing of cotton, but as well to
the entire people of the country.
I'VE note with qualification your as
surarCe that a large number of south
ern banks and commercial firms have
already signifled their willingness tc
contribute to such fund, and your eX-
preston of confidence that the entire
amount will be promptly subscribed.
The problem involved is not local.
is national. and, as well, internationa
in it's scope and Importance, and W.
venture to express the hope that sub
scriptions to such fund will be made
by banks, trust companies and mer
chants throughout the country"
