wide front at Ypres. Good progress is
reported by the war office.

f Allowance has not been made above for such changes and classifica- tions as are being discovered in the cataloging which is still incomplete.
 Tn response to the call of the Red Cross War Council in Washington for a fund of $100,OOO,OOO and the as- stgnment to New Britain as it's por- tion, $1O0,000, a joint campaign with the Y. M. C.. A. for it's army camp fund was held from June 18th to June 25th. An advisory committee was ap- pointed consisting of A. w. Stanley, F. G. Platt, c. F.. Smith, Howard S. Hart, A. J. Sloper, George P. Hart, A. F. Corbin. MT. c. F. Bennett was ap- pointed chairman of Finance Com- mittee, whose ten members organized teams for the solicitation of subscrip- tions. Pledges and payments were made during the campaign and after amounting to .$141.6OO approximately. Of this sum $12.60O was allotted to the Y. M. c. A. Liberal contributions of local manufacturers and business concerns and special Red Cross divi- dends paid by corporations in New Britain and elsewhere contributed substantially to. the above result. For the collection and custody of this Red Cross War Fund MT. w. E. Atwood was appointed treasurer
 .,s MT. A. J. S1oper who had been treasurer. of the Chapter since or ganization, resigned during the year, and MT. R. R. Healey was appointed by the executive committee to fill the unexpired term. s,, nt,
 Owing to the detailed system of h1y h. No
 tional Society, the large number of members to be. catalogued, and the records and correspondence called for in connection with the duties of the secretary and relief committee, it was considered necessary by the exec utive committee to engage an office clerk to give entire time to the work of the Chapter. For this position Miss Grace Thompsen was secured and has rendered useful service since Octo- Der 1st. *'-- '5@f
 'tIn order to lessen the work of the central office in Washington, the country is divided into sections called divisions, whose officials supervise the work of, and receive the reports from the chapters within their Jurisdiction
 The effect of this change is shown in greater expedition in answering chap ter correspondence and ,acknowledg- ing reports. Under the new system the American Red Cross entrusts the keeping of membership records to the chapters and does not require the names of annual members to be sent with the remittances to National or Division headquarters.
 "A significant expression of patriot ism is found in the fact that the heads of these Divisions are experienced

 OF SERVICE FLAGS
War Bureau Makes Recommends tion-F1xes Clerks Salary at
 @1,8OO Per Year.

The New Britain War Bureau at the request of the State Council of De- fense, urges that in every home in the city where some member has gone Into the service, either the army, navy or marine corps, service nag be dis played. Although there are large number of these flags already dis played in New Britain, many of them are at factories and offices, and, 1t is . said, only a comparatively few. pri- vate homes from which boys have gone are showing these significant pieces of bunting.
 The War Bureau met last night and on the recommendation of the finance committee voted to fix the salary of the clerk, Earl Kisslebrack, at $1,8O0 per year. MT. Kisslebrack recently resigned his position at the Stanley Rule and Level company office to take charge of this department.
 7 All members of the War Bureau were present at tho meeting and rou- tine business was transacted. One pe- tition was received from a local wom- an who seeks financial aid. Her hus- band Is at present with the National Army at Aver and she is unable to support herself. This petition was re- ferred to the relief committed, o1 which w. w. Leland is chairman.

 Secretary's Report.
 The report of Secretary George s. Talcott, follows:
 While most of the activities of the New Britain Red Cross are of common knowledge it is. perhaps fit ting that some formal statement should be made of the significant changes and largely increased activ- ity of the chapter during the past year. When the United States sev- cred diplomatic relations with Ger many, your officers were urged, in common with those of other chapters throughout the country, to make pro- vision for war relief work on a liberal scale. A meeting was held on Febru- ary and resulted in the response on the part of the Womans club to a request that steps be taken toward the resumption of the war relief work by the women of the city Rooms in Booths block were secured and became the headquarters for . rapidly increaaink MhfIx under the direction of Mrs. J. IT. Robinson and Mrs. Law renee Mouat. Added devotion to the work, occasoned by the preparations of our government for participation in the European war made larger quarters necessary. Through the generosity of William IT. Hart his house at 20 Court street was placed at the disposal of the Womet's com mittee. The work was directed through the summer by Mrs. I. D. Russell. In the early autumn, Mrs. J. H. North was in daily charge of the work at the rooms until her place was taken by Mrs. A. c. Mo- Kinnie. As part of a country wide movement for a largely increased membership in the American Red Cross, a campaign was held on May 28 to June 2 under the direction of committees whose chairmen were as ] follows: ,t(
