With the close OF the nationwide Red

ters in Washington showed s1oo,31S.oo0

the 800. 100000 fund. New York had
tabulated gifts Of s35,9s3.23s: the rest
Of the country ss4.320.oo0. Later re-
ports are expected to swell the grand
total at least $5.000.o0o. New York. for
example. had nowhere near finished
reckoning its collections. The local
committee has decided to extend the city
campaign to noon to-day.
The rivairies among cities. which have
been a distinct feature Of the weeks
campaign. were emphasized last night by
the scores Of messages reaching ma
tionai headquarters saying that reports
to-day would show gratifying results
Cities which had not announced meir
apportionments reported that their can.
vassinG committees were working until
midnight and would continue their ef-
forts to-day to equal or exceed their al
lotments.
Street meetings. appeals TO theatre
crowds. torchlight parades and evening
calls on wealthy citizens were features
of the roundup last night Funds were
sought yesterday in the name OF Major
Gen. Pershing and American forces in
France. for Il was designated "Pershing
day"
Baltimore, which had announced moth
ing definite all week. reported $477.00O
subscribed at single meeting. Mil
waukee flashed the word that 1t had
passed its 100000 goal and was still
going strong. Boston gathered most Of
its 32,50O,000 allotment and kept Its
books open. Detroit reported &2.1ef,0o0.
although only s1,5oc,ooo was expected
from the city.
Record Far From COmplete.
New York's record was far from
complete at midnight. None OF the thirty
teams OF solicitors reported the result
OF the afternoons vorks' A large nuns
ber Of stores here which had pledged
perceptaees Of their earninss had not
cast up accounts. Only a few Of the
churches which observed Red Cross Sum
day were prepared to announce the re-
suit. and on top OF all the Interborough
had vet to figure up the share OF receipts
which is to be devoted to the Red Cross
cause. The Interborough set aside ten
cents IN every dollar expended in the
purchase OF subway and elevated tickets,
and as hundreds thoughtfully laid in a
big supply this item alone will be OF
great consequence.
But the outstanding fact remains that
this big old city. with its 100000 peo-
ple and its untold wealth. Jagged. Be-
tween Friday noon and yesterday noon,
forty-eight hours. during which the ex-
ecutive committeeman confidently eN-
pected returns which would break all
records for patriotic giving. only $2,2l4,-
16s was subscribed. The figures in hand
last night showed the city was $4,000
900 behind the $40,000.000 II had set out
to raise originally and $14.o00.00o short
Of the total fixed as its quota late last
week. The $4,000. 900 was added to
cover a deficiency likely to result from
Red Cross dividends. declared here, be-
ing paid in other cities. the homes OF
stockholders.
The situation SO far as II could be
analysed moved Seward Prosser, chair
man Of the executive committee OF the
finance committee. to exclaim:
"The rest OF the country has done bet
ter than New York. We have not YET
done our part. We have not come
through. Considering our wealth we are
far behind the rest OF the United
States"
Morrow More Optimistic.
Dwight w. Morrow OF ], p. Morgan
Co, who has been one of the most
indefatigable of the campaign workers
was more optimistic. but he also called
attention to the great generosity OF
other sections of the country and the
necessity Of the utmost effort In this
city to-day IL New York is to hold up 1t.
end of the line. Said Mr. Morrow:
mot one single call made In the in
terests OF the Red Cross has beer
wasted. When the final returns come ir
We are going to be surprised. We are
going to be surprised at the fine showing
made by the West and the middle " est
I hope. too, that We will be agreeably
surprised at the amount raised in New
York city"
