RED Cross .
NEEDS MONEY
H. B. Finch Makes Plea for
Further Local Support
New Campaign Starts.

Much more money must be secured
each month for the Red Cross in this
community if the organization is 70
continue it's activity upon the scale
desired. If such money be not forth
coming at once, it will be necessary
to decrease the work of the Organiza-
ton, according to a statement issued
! yesterday by II. B. Finch, chairman
Of the local chapter.
New campaign work will begin on
February 26, according to the state
ment which reads as follows:
A announced a few days ago in
The Herald. the work of the local
Red Cross chapter must be material
~ reduced Or the citizens must fur
nish each month considerable more
financial support than they are now
doing.
1.-TWO thousand. five hundred dol
lars is a reasonable estimate of the
amount now being received monthly
from the maintenance pledges, spe-
cial entertainments, etc. 1t seems not
less than $4,000 per month will be
required. Probably the amount which
we can expect from entertainments
and activities of that nature will not
be materially il at all increased. This
means that the additional funds must
come wholly from new or increased
monthly subscriptions.
ut is believed our citizens will not
be willing to have the work reduced
and therefore it has been decided that
next week an effort will be made to
secure monthly pledges from those
who are not now giving in that way
and also h a an invitation will be
extended to increase the pledges Of
those already giving.
Committees will begin work Tues
day morning, February 26th. The
continued success of the local chap
ter will depend upon the results Of
this Campaign"

FORKS
BOY WOUNDED
in FIGHTING
Bentley A. Nelson, Member
of Machine Gun Co., Men
toned in Report.

Bentley A. Nelson whose home is at
Holt, Mimi, but who lived in this city
for more than a year and a half just
prior to his enlistment in the machine
gun company last summer. is reported
wounded in action on February IL, in
a message to the war department
from General Pershing, commander
in-chief of the American expedition
airy forces in France.
Nelson who is ~ years old, was EN-
ployed by the Moore Automobile COM
pany until July last year. when he
enlisted as a private i'll h machine
gun company. On September 20. he
was one of the 23O Grand Forks boys
who went to Camp Greene n. c., for
training. ~
On the day mentioned, February
10, fighting in which American troops
took part. was reported from the
Champagne region. At that time it
was said that it had not been previ-
ously known that American troops
were stationed al any point along the
line other than in the French Lor-
raine sector. some distance to the east
of Butte du Mesnil.
1t is possible that Bentley G. Nelson
took part in the fighting in this
region.
The telegram of General Pershins
does not state whether Nelson Is
slightly or seriously wounded.
