$1OO,OOO,OOO FOR
RELIEF in WAR

Home and on Battlefront
Pointed Out

Washington. D. c., June 11.-Spe-
cific purposes to which the Red Cross
expects to donate the $10O.OOO,O0O it
has asked the American people to
contribute are enumerated in a state
ment made public to-day by Henry
P. Dawson. chairman of the war
council of the Red Cross. President
Wilson has designated the week of
June Is to 25 as Red Cross week and
Mr.. Dawson hopes to obtain contri-
buttons for the full amount of the
S1OO, 100000 war service fund during
that period.
Our first obligation is to render
such service as comes within the
province of the Red Cross to our
soldiers and sailors at home and
abroad" the statement says. Con-
sideration of the vastness of this
undertaking alone as compared with
any other situation ever known to

amounts of money required to care
for our countrymen."

England May Throw Its
Trousers Into Discard
as War Time Economy
BY Associated Press

London, June IL. - kits may re-
place trousers for civilian dress.
Their adoption is under serious con-
sideration in many parts of Eng
land as a result of the governments
advice that men should wear mate
rial of one hue to economic in dye
stuffs.
In support of kits a government
fashion expert says they dispense
with the nuisance of pressing and of
their durability there can be no
question, because Scottish families
have passed one kilt from genera
ton to generation.
Another argument advanced in
favor of the kilt is the advice of ply
sicians who say that it is the ideal
dress for boys, because it gives the
greatest warmth around the stom-
ach, and greater freedom than trous-
ers.
Many important newspapers have
come out for the kilt.
The presence of thousands of Scot
tish troops in all parts of the coun-
try has made the kilt popular with
many civilians.
