PLAN CAMPAIGN
FOR $1OO,OO0,OOO
Red Gross Gets Letter From
ational Body; Expected
to Do Share

The British Red Cross flies be-
hind the lines of every one of the
allies, can we with ouur unbound
ed wealth and resources do less?"
This is an appeal from National
Red Cross to every chapter in the
United States. The remainder of
the letter is devoted to the necessity
of each chapter doing everything
possible to raise the $1O0,0OO,0O0
war fund now required for COM
petent operation of the aoreign Red
Cross units.
Mention is made of the work the
Red Cross in war devastated Eu-
rope. Not only are efforts made to
relieve the suffering of the wounded
In battle, to care for their moral and
physical welfare but to rehabilitate
the country devasted by the Ger
mans in their advances and re-
treats.
Two More Auxiliarics
Men recently returned from the
front tell of stretches of country
twenty miles square moved clean of
every sign of human life. Every
tnlng gone, houses and barnes burn
roads torn into impossible gullies.
1t is the hope of the Red Cross to
again erect buildings and to culti-
Vate the land. If sufficient funds
can be secured land now bare of
every sign of life will be put into
service to supply the necessities of
the hghting men at the front. In
most OF the countries all available
land is being cultivated, and un-
less the ruined districts be placed
under cultivation the women and
chlldren Will be unable to supply
the additional demands for food
that Americas great armies will
make on the warning nations.
Red Cross auxiliaries were form
ed last evening at Dauphin and
Loyalton. Mrs. George Kunukle,
Mrs. John Y. Boyd and Mrs. Harris
spoke at Dauphin and secured an
initial enrolment of twenty-seven
members. James E. Lentz, Mrs.
