FUND DRIVE
EXTENDED 5 DAYS

Ii Washington going to fail in rails
ing Its quota OF $6o. 900 for the Jew
ish Relief Fund?
A report from the chairman of the
committee in charge indicates that the
city is failing behind With the drive
nearly finished, only two-thirds Of the
quota has been raised. Owing to the
absence from town OF many prominent
men and women who are interested in
the fund, the local committee has de-
eided to extend the drive until jan
uAry 4, thus giving Neutrality-suspicious.
an opportunity to start the new year
by subscribing to the fund.
Five more days will be added By
this arrangement, and will give this
city an opportunity to come to the
fore with other large cities witch
have orersubscribed their quotas. y
The committee realizes that holiday
time is always q poor season TO con-
duct soch q campaign, but IL was made
necessary by reason OF the fact that
the Jewish Relief Fund drive was
postponed until after the Red Cross
and the United War Work Campaign
drives were completed. Jewish work
ers aided as much as possible In those
drives. and now they feel that the
people OF this city should aid them.
Women who have been soliciting
in local theaters, hotels,
and department stores are planning TO
redouble their efforts during the re-
of the drive.
Last night the young people OF the
city came to the front when they held
q big dance at the Old Masonic Tenn
pie, under the auspices of the Young
Women's Hebrew Association.
Lee Baumgarten, president of the
Hebrew. Charities, made a brief talk
in which he urged pledges to the
fund.
Mrs. Louis Kramer was chairman of
the dance committee. 1t Is estimated
that about $500 was raised. The fact
that many thought the dance had been
postponed on account OF the recent
fire in the temple cut down attend
Ance, but this deficit was made up in
and whole-hearted re-
sponse to the appeals for contribu-
tons
Following are the names of those
who subscribed more than 500 to the
fund yesterday: Louis Simon, $500:
Hahn 4 Co., $500: Connecticut
Pie Company, 500; Powhatan Hotel
Company, 500; E. Heidenheimer, $3.50;

CITIZENS WRATHY
OVER BOOZE RAIDS

WINCHESTER, Va, Dec 3I-Resi-
dents of the BerryViIle and Boyce sec
tions Of Clarke county. some among
the most prominent and influential
citizens OF this part OF the State, are
openly expressing their Indignation
and resentment at the manner in
which the officers OF the State pro-
hibition commissioner have been 60
ing about their duties recently in
searching for bootleEgers on trains.
Two OF the officers boarded a mail
train at BerryYille a few nights ago,
and not only inspected all the grips
and sstchels. but actually stopped the
train between stations in order to
complete the search. In the meantime
the conductor sent a message to the
train dispatcher, who ordered the
train to proceed regardless OF the
Officers. The Norfolk and Western
Railway Is said to have reported the
matter to the Government authorities.
The raid by the officers raised a
storm among the passengers. They
denounced the detectives in language
that was strong and vivid.
Altogether sixty pints OF LIQUOR
were found on the crowded train. but
no arrests were made. The officers
are said to have failed utterly in run
ming down the bootleggers and are
holding up passengers in trains and
automobiles in order TO make some
sort of a showing. When a citizen
OF Frederick county was arrested re-
Gently on a Cumberland Valley Rail-
road train in the outskirts OF Win
chester for having several quarts OF
liquor, which he declared was for
aged and sick relatives at home. two
professional bootlesgers are reported
to have walked down the platform

bottled liquor. while another went In
an opposite direction without being

SHOCK ARTILLERY
WAS YANKEE PLAN
By Briggs

CAMP MEADE. Nd, Dec. H.-The
story Of military surprise in the ma
ture Of ''shociS" division Of artillery.
which was prevented by the almIstice.
Is told by nearly q score Of artillery
officers from the Sunset Division" Of
California, including several figures Of
national prominence, who have arrived
at Camp Meade. They landed In New
where they underwent intensive train
ing. though deprived of their chance
at front-line warfare.
Among them are Major Stewart Ed
ward White. novelist, magazine
writer and author; Capt. Peter B.
Ryne, short story writer. and severai
noted lawyers
Although the remainder OF the d.
vision is being sent across the contI-
nent to the Pacific coast. they were
allowed to remain in the East for de-
mobilization.
The Sunset Division was trained in
France to become shock troops in a
method departing from usual maneu-
vers. They were to be brought up to
the front at night at q point where
the enemy was strongest and then
concentrate their battering at the
German defense. They were to with
draw at daybreak and attack an en-
tirely different sector OF the Huns
line at another time.
With their artillery at night they
were to give the heaviest possible
FIRE at points where German advances
threatened, and where the Huns were
quiet the Sunset cannon were to
start something" But they missed
the chance.
While in training in California the
artillery branch of the Sunset d.
vision was besieged by moving pic
ture concerns and acted for many war
pictures. In one of her films Mary
Pickford was assisted by the division
and the artilIsrymen elected her
honorary colonel"
Nine more conscientious objectors
are to be discharged. They\are: Max
we'll S. Simpson. Joseph II. Green
