 Cardinal Gibbons Endorsement.
 'T am in hearty accord with the vast work of the Red Cross war council. I have confident hope that these world wide plans of charity and mercy will be largely realized, bringing the grateful appreciation of the suffering millions as a partial recompense."
 Special Dividends Helpful.
 A suggestion which may open the way for donations by national banks came from Comptroller of the Cur rency Williams. He explained that national banks may not legally donate bank funds to any charitable cause, but may declare a special dividend out of the undivided profits.
 If all national banks should declare an extra dividend of one-half of one per cent. and shareholders should turn the sum over to the Red Cross, MT. Williams explained, s5,000,000 would be obtained.
 From campaign committees in many cities today came word that the war councils tentative allotment was too low and that a new high figure had been set.
