iR. C.. ON LAST LAP
Eastern Divisions Only Ones
Behind Campaign Quotas.
Central States Voluntarily
Raise Quota to 100000.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Reports to
the Red Cross today on results of its
campaign for 10, 100000 new members
showed some divisions had exceeded
their quotas and others were ap-
preaching figures set for them. The
central division, which voluntarily
raised its quota from 1.1S9.00 to L.
SOC, 900, expects to exceed the higher
figure, and the gulf division, compris-
ing Alabama, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, had gone several thousand over
its quota. Oregan had gone $4,000
over its quota, Notwithstanding bad
weather. which has been the cause of
extending the time limit to the end of
the week in several divisions.
Pennsylvania today was within o.
600 of its quota of 100000 and the
Pacific division lacked $4,000 of the
49,, 1000 expected. Reports from the
Potomac division indicate much hard
work will be necessary there if the
quota of $4,000 is reached.
Lansing Makes Final Plea.
Secretary OF State Lansing aided
the campaign today with the follow
to help:
Chr1stmas-tide has become bv a
long esta blished custom, the time for
the giving of gifts, a time when hearts.
inspired with thankfulness to God for
ms supreme gift to mankind, throb
- ASANo SHIoIlOnS winch find
expression in acts of love and gener-
osity.
1t is peculiarly fitting therefore. in
these days when the world is darkened
by war and misery, that the American
people should with a true Christmas
spirit give of their bounty to that great
agency of mercy. the American Red
cross, which is doing such splendid
service in alternating suffering on the
paltie1leIds OF Europe and in bringing
| comfort to the thousands of helpless
ones VINO are victims of the brutaIities
| of war.
In response to the general irnnuIses
| awakened by thoughts of C.hristmas
| let US as a nation show our love for
humanity and our gratitude to God BY
remembering at this time the Red
| Cross and its needs"

officers of the Chamber of Commerce
are to be on parade in full regalia of

MAKES FALSE CHARGE
TrOtzlzy Announced o. S. Red Cross
Fund Used Against Bolsheviki.

Washington, Dec. 24.-State depart
ment officials declared today that the
statements of Leon Trotzky, the Boil
sheviki foreign minister, that the
American Red Cross mission in Russia
was giving aid to the opponents of
the Bolsheviki government could be
attributed only to his ignorance of the
facts. A report from Ambassador
Francis on the arrest of Colonel Kol-
pashioneff, an attache of the Red
Cross mission, while in charge of a
relief train, had not reach the state
department. The state department
does not believe that Trotzky will per-
sist in his attitude, however, when he
realizes the true state of affairs.
Arrangements were made in this
country some time ago for strength
ening the ambulance corps of Russia
with seventy-eight ambuIances and
other supplies much needed in certain
districts. 1t was deemed advisable to
send them via the Rumanian from
tier This was done with the ap-
proval of the Russian Red Cross The
incident of money which it was al
leged Ambassador Francis had Of
fered and the Insinuation that it was
intended as a hribe to the enemies
OF the BolsheVikt had no other signifi-
canoe, II was announced, than hui
manitarian. 1t was merely the ordi-
nary transfer of money thru the en-
basSy sent Uy the Red Cross and in
tended for relief work.
The state department regards the
action of TrotZkey as entirely unwar-
ranted.

San Francisco. Dec. PA threat
ened strike of 10000 metal trade
unionists engaged in industries other
than ship building was averted here
today. according to officials of the
iron trades council wnen fourteen of
the thirty-five foundries that would
have been affected by the walk out,
granted demands for a 10 per cent ad-
ditional wage increase over the 81 per
cent adva--ce that had been allowed
some time ago by the federal ship
building labor adjustment board.
This increase was given by the
Emergency Fleet corporation, said as
sociation officials, after<a meeting in
Washington at which the association
was not represented.
r. w. Burton, president of the Iron
Trades council. received a message
from Charles Piez, general manager of
the Emergency Fleet corporation,
stating ''stoppage of work does the
work of a public enemy
In reply Burton issued a statement
declaring Piez is misinformed if he
thinks the strike will stop war work,
as men engaged i. war work are
specifically excepted from striking.

SUMMONS R. R. UNIONS
President To Meet Heads of big
-Four" Brotherhoods Thursday.

Washington, Dec. 24.-President
Wilson has summoned the chiefs and
legislative agents of the four railroad
brotherhoods to a conference at the
White House Thursday. 1t is expect
ed that the president will outline to
the representatives of the railroad
workers whatever action he has de-
cided is necessary to obtain more eff
ficient transportation in the war
crisis.
Both the chiefs and the legislative
agents have conferred with the presi-
dent recently, the chiefs soon after
their demands were made on the rail-
roads for increased wages and the
legislative agents several days ago
when they asked for assurance that
war demands would not relax the
safety restrictions imposed on rail-
road operation. They were told that
nothing of that kind was contem-
plated.
The new conference came as a sur
prise in the railroad situation. Presi-
dent Wilson has been studying all the
phases of the question and it has
been understood he intended to adj
dress congress on the subject after
the holidays. While sentiment in ia
vor of governmental operation of the
roads appal entity has been growing, no
lntiInatlon of what the president
would recommend has been given and
pending his address it was thought
no further action was contemplated.

ambassador Francis Explains Use OF

Petrograd, Dec. 24.-Anerican Am
passador Francis announced today he
was preparing for publication thruout
Russia an explanation of incidents in
connection with Red Cross efforts to
send supplies into regions occupied by
enemies of the BolSheviki
The incident has brought tense re-
