Hitchcock and the "Follies" and 'Hitchy-

should not be, and the Street backed its
belief by shOwering money into the ton

dense was the crowd around the touring

unable to break out far from their cars,
and therefore could not pass the hat as

make Red Cross Membership Uni
versal as Citizenship" is Slogan
Other Notes

Oficials of the American Red Cross
at Washington expect the Christmas
membership drive to far exceed the
original quota set. Indeed returns
from some of the most northern cOun-
ties in the country, where the drive
has been started early, that results
may be accomplished before snow
puts a stop to the activity, have been
so cheering as to indicate that the
original quota will be almost dou-
bled.
Originally the campaign was
planned to produce 100000 new
members for the organization. Lead
ers of the work at Washington now
declare, according to message re-
ceived at Northern Division head
quarters, that Nthey will not be sur
prised if 100000 new members
are obtained.
make Red Cross membership as
universal as citizenship" is the new
slogan adopted for the drive and
leaders of the movement expect that
results will sustain the motto. While
the Christmas drive is primarily
campaign for members, not money,
half of all membership fees collected
will be retained by the local chapt-
ers and the financial gain will there
fore be considerable.
Soldiers at Fort Smelling will be
supplied with knitted articles this

director of the bureau of military re-
lief for the Northern Division.
Up to the present time the demand
for knitted garments abroad has been
so insistent that every available arti-
Gle was shipped to France or to the
ports from which the troops we're de-
parting. Now that the weather in
Minnesota has become cold Mr..
Campbell has decided that the troops
here must be supplied. He has re-
Questioned enough garments from
the division supply house to equip
every man at Fort Smelling with
sweater, a pair of socks and to all
who wish them muff1lers and wrist
lets. In addition the Minneapolis

man with comfort kit.

London. Sept. 27.-On his return from visit to the Italian front Ma jor General F. B. Maurice, chief di- rector of military operations at the war office. today discussed the situa- tion in Flanders with the Associated Press.
 During the past month there has been a long pause. thanks to rain and mud in Flanders" he said. "The pause made necessary more ample preparations than ordinarily after a first advance-prepa para ations equivalent to launching an entirely new battle. But the result amply justified the preparations. and while on previous occasions we won our objectiveS only after protracted fighting, we yester- day were in possession of the whole of our objectives before a. m.
 "The fighting yesterday was in the most. vital area. the neXus of the ridge system dominating the plain of Flan -ders. and the key to the whole series of ridges There is a good deal mere to be said about this battle than whs , we gained.
 "OficeEs who have been with the British army from the beginning all agree that since the first battle of Ypres there has never been slaugh- ter of the Germans comparable to that they suffered in the repulsed counter-attacks of the past few days. The Germans counter -attaCi-ed In masses and dozens of these counter attacks were swept away by our fire with terrible German lCsSeS.''
