Directors OF the Richmond Red
Cross today decided to issue a call to
representatives Of all organizations Of
the county to attend a meeting to be
held next Friday evening In the Com
mercial club rooms to formulate plans
for the conduct of a campaign to raise
Wayne county's share OF the $100, 0,00O,-
900 Red Cross war fund throughout
the nation.
This meeting will be presided over
by w. D. Foulke and detailed plans
for raising the county's share will be
mapped out.
Initial plans for the countrywide
outlined at a meeting held in Wash
ington May rs at the call Of President
Wilson. Former President Taft acted
as chairman and presented a procla-
nation issued by President Wilson,
setting aside the week of June 1925
as Red Cross week.
Big Fund Is Started.
It was also announced at the Wash
ington meeting. that although the
amount OF the war fund was the larg-
est single amount ever planned for re-
lief work from voluntary contributions,
1t was not all that would be asked
before the work of the Red Cross in
the present war is finished.
The work Of the Red Cross covers
large field and is the only organiza-
tion of its kind In the world which Is
recognized as relief agent on the bat
tie field. Beginning with a small
band of nurses, the organization has
grown until at the Washington meet
ing the objects of the organization
were given out as being:
1.-The duty of supplementing the
surgical department of our army in
the field.
2-The temporary relief Of non-com-
batants in the territory devastated by
war. "
3-Reha bilitation of the devastated
zones.
Fund to Be Divided.
The fund to be raised by the coming
campaign will not go into the general
treasury of the Red Cross but will be

POPULATION
REGISTERED
FOR DRAFT
Religious Opponents Com
pose Largest Group of
Those Who Claimed Ex-
emption. .e.;
COLLEGE MEN OBJECT

An estimated ten per cent of Wayne
county's population was registered
for army conscription yesterday in
the sixty-nve precincts of Wayne
county
The total number Of men between
the ages Of 21 and 81 enrolled for the
draft in these precincts was $3.50.
Probably eighty-nve per cent. of these
young men are physically able, to
serve as soldiers.
Registration for conscription through
out Wayne county was accomplished
without the slightest trouble.
Few Claim Exemption
To the credit Of the young manhood
OF the county the big majority of
those listed for conscrfption. both
married and single. claimed no ex-
emntion from serving their country as
soldiers. Even married men with
large families solely dependent upon
them ignored the question: do you
claim exemption from military SER
vice."
Members Of the conscription board
and their assistants also commented
today on the number OF men with
physical defects who refused to enter
pleas for exemption.
The federal government estimated
registration of $3.50 in Wayne coun-
ty and the actual registration was
only twenty less than this estimate,
indicating that practically every man
of military age in the county is now
duly listed for the draft.
Religious Objections Found
The majority of those who claimed
exemptions assigned as reasons par
tial or total disability; being support
ers of independents and being afiliat-
ed with religious organizations sup
porting the principle of non-resist-
anCc.
A number of members of the Friends
church. many of them students at

Cuts Melon

The directors of the Great Western
Sugar company yesterday cut that
melon which has been the subject of
considerable guess work among the
company's stockholders for more than
five years. Instead of dividing the
surplus, as had been hoped, the board
declared an extra dividend of $1,000
a share upon the common stock in ad-
dition to the regular quarterly divi-
dends upon the preferred and COM
mon shares of IL per cent. No an
nouncement of continuance Of this
extra dividend in the future was
made, but it is the intention of the
board to make similar declaration
in July, and probably regularly there
after as long as the company's prof

The meeting yesterday was marked
by the election of Chester S. Morey,

ny since its organization. to be chair
