Notable success marked the fifth

tending the war camp work of the
Young Mems Christian association
both at home and on the fields OF
northern France. The campaign has
only three more days TO so. including
today, but those in charge are conn
dent that the amount will be- more
than made up :
The total amount for the nation up
to last night was ss4.3s9, aae. which
Is orly ten million short of the de-
sired goal The final three DAYS OF the
drive are expected to bring in an
enormous number OF subscriptions
which will undoubtedly tabulate an
oversubscription. OF course. these
subscriptions will rot sweep the grand
total as high as some of the first days
Of the drive have done. since these
last reports will be made up OF small
gifts subscribed mainly by the great
middle class.

amount brought the Official total for
the state up to s2s4.s0o. to which,
adding the estimate OF Richmond,
viii bring It up to more than s25o.0oO,
or practically two-thirds OF the APP
portionment.
An interesting phase OF the move
ment Is the boys division. in which
the boys of the various states have
agreed to earn $40 each and give II
to the Y. NJ. c. A. cause. Thus far
they have reported about $50 900, and
1t Is expected that they will raise
II. 900, 900 In this manner. The boys
Of Virginia have fallen In with this
! plan and several organisations have
been reported.
Richmond has practically reached
the $4,000 mark. with prospects OF
running we'll over the maximum allot-
ment OF $4,000. The brilliant re-
cord thus far is due primarily to the
we'll organized committees that are
canvassing every part of the city. from
iWesthampton to Fulton and from For
est Hill to Ginter Park.
The executive committee has no fear
of the outcome ct the drive because
of the ever-increasing interest that IL
