MEMBERSHIP IN E. |. REACHES
 I5,OO0,00O

Washington, Dec. 29.-With the delivery, December 18th, of thous- ands of sermons from as many Am erican pulpits, urging membership in the merican Red Cross, the Christmas campaign of that organ ization for ten million new members was formally started. The drive continued until Christmas Eve dur ing which time reports so far col lected indicate that the total mem- bershiD il the United States will reach fifteen million >at least.
 Among those who realize from European experience since the war started the urgnt need of virtually universal Red Cross membership in this country is Dr. Henry Van Dyke, Of Princeton, formally Minister to the Netherlands. Dr. Van Dyke makes this appeal under the cap tion: "A Red Cross Christmas to Those Who Feel Poor"
 "I write as 8 brother.
 We are a large family.
 The world war Made in Germany against which we are fighting has sent our incomes down and our ex- peuses up.
 The pinch hurts, but it is not going to kill us.
 We st1l have enough and some thing to spare.
 Though we feel poor don't let us feel impoverished by selfish fear.
 Let Us save in food, in service, in clothes, in luxuries, but not in money.
 Let us use that by giving 1t to save the wounded, the suffering, our frieLds our country.
 Let us keep hriCstmas this year by keeping up the Red Cross.
 "ThCn it will not be a poor Christmas, but rich Christmas to our hearts"
 Besides the appeals to congrega- tions in behalf of the Red Cross membership campaign superintend- ents ard teachers in Sunday-schools urged them to do their mite for the work of relief during the war. Of the 136.OOO ministers in the United States the big majority had a Red Cross Sunday in their churches.

MEN
 MUST WAIT.

No more draft men in Alaska will be able to volunteer for service in the army and navy until after the drawing. Positive information on this subject has been received by Cartsin Hunt, selective draft officer for Alaska, by wire from Provost Marshal General Crowder. The wire was a reply to a wire sent and says: |.
 "Volunteer enlistments (from men in Alaska subject to draft) as in the States not permitted after December fifteenth"
 Captain Hunt says it will be useless for young men subject to draft in Alaska to go to the States al the present time to en- list, as they will be refused.
 However, after the Alaska draw ing. and where 1t is shown the registered man is not drawn and his number will in all probability not be drawn, enlistments will be authorized by the provost marshal.
 During the past week several young Alaskans have left for the States to enlist and 1t is expected these men will be refused enlist ment.
