port cannot be made until next week,
the executive committe of the Red
Cross finance committee, at Its meet
ing yesterday, began its arrange
ments for the larger campaign that is
to last through the war. Under its
pledge to the national headquarters,
to complete the Washington quota,
sS00,0 900, this year. and to raise a SINH
lar amount each year. The executive
committee Is now planning for the
entire war. A permanent organiza-
ton in which all the committee mach
inery will be improved. has been
planned. Continuous giving is ex-
pected.
Chairman Macfarland said after the
meeting yesterday that the reports
received from all the finance COM
mitteemen and the other workers an
over the District showed general
interest and determination. Although
no campaign for membership has been
made, over 5000 new members have
Joined the District of Columbia chap
ter since the beginning of the war
service fund, on April 8. practically
doubling the membership.
Mr.. Macfarland also said that It
ought to be thoroughly understood
that every officer and member of the
Red Cross finance committee was a
volunteer, giving time as well as mon-
ey, and that even much of the nec-
essary expert clerical assistants,
stenographers. typewriters and book
keepers were paid. not out of the war
service fund, but out of membership
dues, or special contributions desig-
mated for administrative expenses. The
same thing is true of the District
of Columbia chapter headquarters
administration, and Of the national
headquarters OF the American Red
Cross. Therefore. the war service
fund goes, net. for the varied minis
tries of the Red Cross to our SAIL
ors. soldiers and marines and those
OF the allies. to their dependents,
and to the devastated districts abroad
Tonight the Sunday school super
