RED CROSS FUND TOTAL
IS RAISED TO 100000

Makes Increase Advisable.

employees an opportunity to contribute to
the fund, a government department COM
rnittee has been formed, with James l..
wIlmeth. chief clerk Of the Treasury De-
partment, as its chairman.

the ministers OF Washington to call to
the attention of their congregations to-
morrow the effort that is being made to
advance Red Cross work and to indicate
where contributions may be made. JUS

would cover the nilitant's audacity.
