on Pennsylvania avenue.
The citizens celebration committee,
of which Capt. James F. Oyster is

program. Because the police will
be busy with precinct work on regis

with disfavor on the parade suggestion
and there is little likelihood that it
will be adopted.
That patriotic program. in which
singing by school children would be a

most likely of adoption by the COM

work covers wide scope of relief,
from the establishing and maintain

of destitute French children and the
rehabilitation of the devastated areas
in France and Belgium. Relief and

plan has been devised also to extend
aid to soldiers and civilians held as

through which Red Cross relief will
flow to the countless thousands of war
victims.
The Red Cross in France has as
sumed the management Of the War

over, under control of the United

American Ambulance Hospital at
