NEW DEMANDS ON THE
 AMERICAN RED CROSS
$1oo, 100000 May Not Last Longer
 Than Six Months.

Washington, June 24.-New demands on the American Red Cross disclosed today by Eliot Wadsworth, acting chairman. show that the hundred mill mains to be subscribed in the final campaign roundup tomorrow, may not last longer than six months
 The need for relief work in nearly all the allied countries is looming so big, said MT. Wadsworth that our $1OO, 900, 900 can easily be spent within six months, even though the Red Cross practice every economy and give aid only to the most worthy causes.'
 For this reason, Red Cross officials are hoping earnestly that the fund will be largely over subscribed in the final hours.
 Special collections in thousands of Sunday school and church services to- $2,0O0, ,060, althought few definite re- ports were received tonight. The ad- dition of this estimate made the total fund tabulated at headquarters about $S2, 900, 900.
 Tomorrow is ''Pershfng Day."
 This message to the American people cabled from France by Major General Pershing, was made public by Red Cross headquarters tonight:
 Americans can show their co1ors in no better way than by subscribing gen. erously to the Red Cross.'
 From sunup tomorrow to midnight committees in virtually every city town and village in the United States are expected to work strenuously to collect the dollars that will mean life saving for American soldiers and mercy for millions of civilian war victims in Europe.
 Tomorrow night the campaign will close officially, but a few cities expect to continue the work most of the week Even those which end the active can- vass tomorrow probably will not report in full until Tuesday and the nations grand total offering may not be ascer- tained until Tuesday night
 Figures made public by Red Cross headquarters showed that the high est per capita contributions among the cities of more than 100000 population came from Cleveland, whose record for the campaign is not likely to be chal- lenged. C1eveland's collection so far makes a, per capita donation of $6.20. New York city is second with $5.S4; Worcester, Mass, sixteenth, s3.91 Hartford, Conn, is nineteenth, s369.
 Other cities with their per capita gifts. were announced as follows:
