Francis J. Leavens, chairman of the local Red Cross. committee that con- ducted the recent campaign in this city has received the following letter from. H. P. Davison, chairman, Red Cross War Council:
 Mir. Francis J. Leavens,
 Norwich. Conn.
 Dear Mir. Leavens: At the close of the wonderfully successful campaign for the Red Cross War Fund I intend ed, in behalf of the War Council, to send you and your associates, tele- gram of thanks and congratulati tion for your splendidly effective work. On reflection, however I decided in view of the nation wide extent of our organ ization that it would be more economi- cal and equally satisfactory, to write to you instead of telegra phing.
 We of the War Council are deeply grateful to you, to your co1lea gues, to the devoted. men and women of local Red Cross chapters and auxiliaries, and to every element and individual in your community who aided by service and contribution.
 There is method by which we can reach the legion of indiciduals, organ izations. churches, newspapers, socie- ties banks companies. and firms whose united effort has provided this great fund for humanity, and if through your press and by other means you can make public expression of our gratitude we shall deeply appreciate the courtesy. Their joint accomplish ment has stirred the pride of every American.
 Very sincerely yours,
 H P. DAWSON.
 Chairman Red Cross War Council.
