TOTS ARE
ENTITLED
To FLAGS

Please tell the school children Of
Hammond who are members of the
Junior Red Cross. that they are cntitl-
ed TO little red cross on the family
service flag that is display in the Win
dows OF Hammond homes" said Dr. T..
N. Shanklin. general manager of the
Red Cross drive. TO THE TIMES today.
Or. Shanklin emphasized this feature
because tho impression has gone out
that junior members are not entitled to
the little red cross. The fact is that
their enrolment this week is not to be
added into the quota that Hammond is
TO roll up.
Last night Hammond's total member
ship was 6.26S an increase of 429 mem-
bers since last Monday morning. The
quota for the city is 1900.
Too many housckeepers are delin-
quent in displaying their Red Cross
service flags. it is pointed out. There
are not enough in thewbusiness district
while their display would aid trcmend-
ously IN the drive.
The demand for workers continues.
particularly for workers in the business
district and the haywood district
The Red Cross again calls attention
to the sale of Red Cross seals. the little
'stickcrs" for the holiday mail.

LONDON, Dec. 2o.-The Russian up
rising against the Rolsheviki has ap-
parentIy reached even into Petrograd,
stronghold Of the TrotEky-Lenine gov
ernment. Under excuse of restoring
order the Bolsheviki, through the execu-
tive council of workmen and soldiers
delegates, have decreed the city Gin a
state of seige."
According 70 belief here today the
Bolsheviki are carefully conceaIing
what must be considerable disorder in
the city-organized rebellion. All other
Russian factions, according to the lat
est information, have joined in opposing
Bolsheviki.
Fighting between the Bolsheviki and
the Ukrainians was halted today, dis
patches from Odessa said today.
Both sides agreed to patrols through
out the city to maintain order. Scores
of shops and residences have been rob-
bed. The fighting has been seized upon
as a pretext for wholesale robberies.
