Universal Military Training announces.

Both Houses of Congress having ac-

piled this principle in legislation for

RED CROSS DONATIONS
GRATIFYING TO LEADERS
Relief Funds Coming in Gratifying
Volume-Need of Large Con-
tributions Cited.

Spurred by the arrival of United
States forces in the war zone of Eu-
rope, the contributions to the Red Cross
war relief fund are coming in encour-
aging1y, according to report made
last night by Henry B. F. mcfarland.
chairman of the finance committee of
the District chapter.
The gifts yesterday were large and
numerous. A particularly pleasing fea-
ture was the fact that number OF
large Individual contributions were
sent in. and that children generally are
active in increasing the fund.
While there has been an impression
in Washington that large gifts are no
longer needed, Mr.. mcfarland points
out this is not true; that the Red Cross
should have many more large In
dividual donations in order to carry out
the .tupendous work that has been
mapped out by the war council.
Small Gifts Acceptable.
The small gifts are most acceptable,
and 1t is hoped that every man. woman
and child will give small amounts if
they cannot give large, but those who
can give largely must continue to do
SO. Mr.. Macfarland said that he was
glad to see that number of the large
contributors were repeating their gifts.
Several have sent three contributions,
and many others two contributions.
Besides what is to be done abroad. the
Red Cross activities in connection with
the training camps including Fort
Myer. the care of dependents and the
preparation Of hospital and other sup
plies, must go right on.
Melvin c. Hazen, chairman OF the
committee on the congressional base
ball game, cooperating with Repre-
sentatives Miller of Minnesota and Har
rison of Mississippi. has called a meet
-I,<y
will be perfected for securing a record
breaking attendance at the base ball
park on the day of the game, which
may be June 80. although it has not
been definitely fixed. There is a greater
interest among congressman in the
game this year than ever before.
