NEW YORK. June 23-In the fear that
some proportion Of the special Red Cross
dividends declared by financial and in
dustria1 corporations will not be turned
over to the fund. and to guard against
Implications, it was decided today to in
crease the total amount to be raised as a
war fund to S110,000,O00. New York was
asked to contribute the additional &c.,
900, 900 Fear also was expressed that
publication OF large contributions and over
confidence ON the part of the public might
result in less than the required amount
being raised. For that reason note of
warning to press the campaign was sent
broadcast.

the 500. 100000 at which we aimed" said

sible Implications"
Corporation dividends have been count
ed in the New York total, but many of
the checks will come through various
other cities, where the stockholders live
This makes an unavoidable duplication
for which allowance must be made In our
final estimate. We must have the addi-
tional 100000 to cover 1t, and it Will
be New York's task to raise the money.
