DESIRED May
Be FAR SHORT

While the Red Cross war fund being
raised in Brownsville had reached nearly
to the $4,000 figure this afternoon, Chair
man E. A. McGary of the committee in
charge. said that the people of Brownsville
will have TO respond faster. or else
Brownsville will fall far behind the amount
the city has promised To raise for the
Sl00.000.00 Red Cross War Fund. Mon
day is the last day in which subscriptions
can he received, a. the committee at Wash
ington must know by that night what il i
to expect in the matter of support for the
Red Cross work in war.
''Glancing over the list of the contrib
utors," Mr.. Notary said today, ''we no
tice a large percentage of the names are
persons who were not sent the letter as
sessing them an amount it was believed
they should donate 10 the fund. We mail
ed out over four hundred of these letters.
and the total amount those people were
asked to contribute went well over the Sl0.-
900 mark. Naturally, it may he assumed
that many of those will not respond, so il
is up to the people who have been assess
ed TO come in in large numbers, or else
Brownsville is sure TO fall down on her
pro rata.
1.-THE amount Brownsville has promised
10 give to the found is not at all out of
proportion. Victoria, the county seat of
Victoria county, is raising $4,000 for the
fund. The little town of Beeville, in Bee
county, is-raisine $4,000 from the coun-
ty. / might call attention to numerous
other towns that are net larger than
Brownsville and which are raising the
same amounts or more. So it Is up TO Us
to make good. The time is short. The
fund must be raised by Monday. In or
der to make it everybody will have to do
his share"
A committee of Brownsville women and
young ladies this afternoon expected toI
start out on a campaign of personal sohci-
tation of small amounts ranging from
twenty-five cent upward, and which will
be asked from employees of various bus
mess houses in the city, and they will also
make a tour of the residence districts. This
campaign will extend through Monday.

he said, "my wife can't fight, my mother
in-law can't fight, my little son can't fight,
so here is IS bill for each" he said.
A modest suburban grocer of Mexico
name was assessed $5 by the committee.
He increased it to $l5.
The Yturria estate was assessed $3.50
by the committee. Daniel Yturria, ITS
trustee, increased it TO 5000, and in addI-
ton members of his househald donated a
total of $50.
Numerous other favorable incidents
have come 10 the attention of the com
mittee in its campaign, but with all this

requested come forward in larger mum
bers, the committee will he unable to wire
