prove of this method Of raising
funds) the local officers feel they
would be oversteppipg their rights
In refusing to grant authority to
any one to raise funds In manner
acceptable to National Headquar'

society might not approve of the
method.
Our army, onr navy and our
Red Cross are made up of people
of various ideas, but we do not
feel that simply because all ideas
do not agree that any one person
or persons should be denied the
right to do their bit for the wound

needs our help.
We are deeply grateful for the
money raised by these young la.

raised for this great cause which
are raised In a manner that meets

In time o: var the interests of the

must give way to troop trains, ammu-

Railroads have been hauling nil

there have been occasional "famines"
in some of these articles because of
the inability of the railroads to haul
all they were offered. In fact, serious
situations have been narrowly averted,
What then might be the result of

been experienced?

the Southern farmer to enlist to pro-
duce food crops as 1t is for the young
