MOVEMENT.
An active Red Cross campaign, both
for membership to the local chapter and
for contributions will begin at once A
strong volunteer committee, together
with a number who have been ap, tinted
to assist, will soon make house to house
canvass.
A committee recently appointed by
President F. w. johnson held meeting
at the Commercial club last Wednesday
evening, which was attended by large
number of men interested in the cause.
The following is the committee: ]. F.
Armstrong, Ferdinand Crone, J. A.
Ochs and A. J. Vogel
Will Mail Letters.
Ways and means were discussed to get
the people interested to greater extent.
1t was pointed out that there are many
citizens of New Ulm who do not realize
the real object of the Red Cross move
ment. To overcome this it was decided
to mail to every family in the city a
letter, explaining all these. Emil
Metzinger volunteered to do this. These
letters are to be followed up with thoro
canvass of the city. At the meeting
Thursday evening a number of men
volunteered to make this canvass.
Including the volunteers and those
appointed, nearly all of whom, however,
belong to the former class, the can
vassers are as follows, with their territory
assigned:

expected that the members will begin

are now something more than one
hundred members of the New Ulm
chapter, and when the committee has
finished it's work it is expected the mem
bership will have reached 500 or more.
Women Busy at Work.
The organization of the Red Cross
work is being completed and the different
Societies of the city who have volun-
teered their services to help make the
soldier boys bit more comfortable have
been assigned days on which they can
meet to sew and knit. The number who,
have responded to the call is so large
that this seems to be the most con-
yenient way to arrange the time. Mon
day, Congregational Ladies Aid Society;
Tuesday, St. Anne's Court, the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Foresters; Wednesday,
Union Hospital Aid Society; Thursday,
Mothers and st. Elizabeth Societies;
Friday, Episcopal Guild; Saturday,
