Optimistic reports Of the progress of
the campaign were made at the lunch
held at the New Ebbitt House today, but
there was no attempt on the part of the
workers to make believe that the cam
paign was progressing as well as some
had hoped.
On the other hand, there was not the
slightest tendency toward pessimism.

workers alike that once the people of the
city were apprised of the facts. they will
rally to the support of the fund in the
same manner they rallied to the second
