than twice the allotment of the $780,
100000 Red Cross fund. The figures
are given in another column and re-
fleet the sweeping enthusiasm of the
women and men who worked so hard
in this worthy cause.
It was not for the purpose of self
praise that those directly concerned
in the campaign which netted in ex-
cess of $4,000 gathered at the Me-
Kenzie hotel last evening. The sue
cess of the campaign can be credited
to no one man. Everyone, man,
woman and child, who signed for
81 900 or 81, contributed to the sue
cess and must today share in that
satisfaction which accompanies task
we'll done.
Spirit Of Red Cross.
The spirit of the Red Cross society
was evident last evening as the men
and women heard the final report OF
the great drive for funds, unequaled
in the history of Burleigh county or
the capital city Never before was
the appeal more direct. more pene-
trating, and never were the results
more gratifying.
II. p. Goddard and 20 or 30 men
and women comprised the motive
force behind this campaign. They
worked steadily and hard, without
friction. There was no lost motion;
just a steady, efficient drive toward
the goal.
1t was happy gathering that met
last evening to hear the final report.
which may put Bismarck among the
first cities of its size in the United
States for response to this call for
war relief funds.
Mr.. Goddard Presides.
Mr. Goddard presided and Rev.
Buzzelle, vice president Of the Bur-
leigh county Red Cross chapter, was
the first speaker. He commended Mr..
Goddard for his enthusiasm and the
manner in which he directed the
forces in this campaign. Describing
the two days preliminary campaign
outside of Bismarck, Rev. Buzzelle
told of the ready response met every.
where and the eagerness to do some
thing toward the relief of those who
before long will be on their way to
replenish the depleted lines on the
French front.
1t was the psychology of the cam
paign that arrested the interest of
George N. Remission, the next speak
er.
Il was particularly interested he
said in the psychology of the cam
paign, especially as it concerned the
teams and the individual. In all
these movements there must be die
tator, a common purpose to hitch to.
The success of this camnaign is a
tribute to the energy and efficiency OF
the man who headed this movement
and brought it to such a wonderful
First Appeal.
