More Than Hundred Million Raised.
Latest reports from Washington
show the total contributions to the
Red Cross war fund during the recent
campaign week were $11S,021,370.
Totals by states includes:
Minnesota, $1,488,140; Montana,
Oregon, $737,7Y3; South Dakota, $685.
1853; washington. s~1,o74.sSs.
With the exception Of the south ev-
cry section of h country has over
subscribed it's allotment. The north
central section which at times has
been falsely accused Of being apathet-
ic to the present crisis made the
the war fund. The north central states
have reported some twenty-six mil
lion dollars.
The amount raised in North Dakota
during the war fund campaign is re-
garded most optimistically by the Red
Cross officials and workers Of the
state. When the fact that the work
very little understood in most dis
! tricts of the state, is taken into o n
sideration, the more than n hun
dred thousand dollars that is an
nounced above as the result OF the
weeks work seems a good healthy
amount.
Grand Forks, a number Of other
cities, and the majority Of smaller
towns and villages all got into the
campaign spirit, and made good show
ings in the various communities. The
state campaign was carried on with
out assistance from Fargo, which did
not actively participate, and from
which an amount that would have
raised the state figures considerably,
had been expected.
Dance Proceeds.
The women of Falconer township
have turned over to h Red Cross
treasury the sum of forty dollars as
the proceeds from two evening dances
given recently at the farm home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart Walsh.

New General Manager for Red Cross
Henry D. Dawson, chairman of tn.
war council Of the American Rec
Cross, has announced the appointment
Of Harvey p. Gibson, president Of thu
Liberty National bank Of New Yorl
city, as general manager of the Ret
Cross.
Mr.. Gibson is another Of the abb,
and successful business men VIII,
have volunteered to serve the countr.
through the Red Cross during the war
MI. Gibson will serve without com
~pensation, and will devote his who'll
time in Washington to the worl
which he Is undertaking.
In making the announcement o
Mr.. Gibson's appointment, Mr.. Dav
ison on behalf Of the wal council
authorizes the following statement:
ut will be Mr.. Gibson's duty to de
velop chapters and add to the nearl,
2 1000, 600 members the Red Cross al
ready has. It is clear that there is un
limited service and ability in thi
country which wants to help, and w
believe that through Mr.. Gibson's eff
forts, q force of tremendous powe
will be brought into effective action
There with perfect reason beel
some impotence WI the lack Of di
rection afforded by the Red Cross 70
the vast quantity Of volunteer .effor
available. We have been looking 70
just the mar to supply this need, an,
we believe we have found him in MI
Gibson. No more important step thai
