feels that he cannot earn S5 between now and March first he may pledge to his limit The slogan of the Vic tory Boys is "A Million Boys Behind Million Fighters" The money for the pledges may be paid on signing the pledge or it may be paid in three fn- stallments as follows: $1.50 on De cember ?, 1918; $1.5O on January 15. 1919. and $2 on March 1, 1919. The boys who have signed a pledge card will get a button from the committee which took his pledge.
 The chairmen of the various com mittees are: For boys department and Central school-Earl V. Thomp- son. For the Warren schools-E- F. HOnn. For Lowell schools-L- R. Blohm For Horace Mann and Lin coln-J. B. Potter. For the high school Percy Page For convent-Edward Kelly.

Red Cross war fund was raised, the chapters were entitled to retain 25 per cent of the amount collected, in order to defray local expenses, to car " on their home service work, to pur- chase materials to be utilized in chap ter production and otherwise to meet the numerous calls made upon them. The chapters were thus entitled to retain nearly $29,O00,00O As a mat ter of fact their actual retentions amounted to only about S29,OOO,0OO. Out of the collections from annual memberships, the chapters have re- tained about S11,00O,0O0
 From this total sum, therefore, of S33 100000 retained by the chapters they have met all of the often times very heavy local demands upon them, and in addition have provided for use by National headquarters products valued at upwards of S44,0O0.0O0.
 "The chapters have in effect return ed to the war council, not alone the S33 ,G00,000 retained out of the war fund and membership dues but, in value of actual product, an additional contribution of at least $11.OO0,OOO.
 Tt will thus be seen that during the eighteen months which have elapsed since the United States en- tered the war, the American people will have either paid in or pledged to the American Red Cross for its work of relief throughout the world, in money or in material values, net to- tai of at least $325, GOO 900.
 This outpouring of generosity in material things has been accompan- jed by a spOntaneity in the giving, by an enthusiasm and devotion in the doing, which, after all, are greater and bigger than could be anything measured in terms of time or dollars.
 Tt has been because of this spirit which has pervaded all American Red Cross effort in this war that the aged governor of one of the stricken and battered provinces of France stated, not long since, that, though France had long known of Americas great ness, strength and enterprise, it re- mained for the American Red Cross in this war to reveal Americas heart.
 Tn this country. at this moment. the workers of the Red Cross through it's chapters. are helping to add to the comfort and health of the millions of our soldiers in 102 camps and canton ments, as well as of those travelling on railroad trains or embarking on ships for duty overseas.
 The home service of the Red Cross with it's now more than 10000 work CTS, in extending it's ministrations of sympathy and counsel each month to upwards of 100000 families left be- hind by soldiers at the front-a num- ber ever growing with the increase of our men under arms.
 But of course, the heart of the Red Crcss and it's money and atten- tion always move toward and focus themselves in Europe. Nothing is withheld that can be given over there to supplement the efforts of our army

and navy caring for our own boys. Our satisfaction is in the result, which we are assured by Secretary Baker, General Pershing, General Ireland and all our leaders, is of inestimable val ue and of indispensable importance.
 By the first of January, your Red Cross will have working in France upwards of 5000 Americans-a vivid contrast to the little group of eigh- teen men and women, which, as the first Red Cross commission to France, sailed about June 1, 1917, to initiate our efforts in Europe.
 Under your commission to France the work has been carefully organ ized, facilities have been provided. and effective efforts made to so CO., operate with the army as to carry out the determination of the Ameri- can people, and especially of the mem bers of the Red Cross, that our boys lover there" shall lack for nothing which may add to their safety, com fort and happiness.
 Your Red Cross now has active. operating commissions in France, in England, in Italy, in Belgium, in Switzerland, in Palestine and in Greece. You have sent a shipload of relief supplies and a group of devoted workers to northern Russia; you have dispatched a commission to work be- hind our armies in eastern Siberia; you have sent special representatives to Denmark. to Serbia and to the Is- land of Madeira.
 Your Red Cross is thus extending relief to the armies and navies of our Allies, We are told by those best in- formed in the countries of our allies, that the efforts of your Red Cross to all the soldiers and to sustain the morale of the civilian populations left at home, especially in France and Italy, have constituted a very real factor in winning the war.
 What the Red Cross may be called upon to do in the further course of the war, or with the coming of vic tory, peace and reconstruction, it would be idle to attempt to prophecy. But your great organization, in very truth "the mobilized heart and spirit of the whole American people," has shown itself equal to any call, ready to respond to any emergency We cannot but believe that this wonder full spirit which service in and for the Red Cross has evoked in this war. is destined to become in our national life and element of permanent value
 At Christmas time we shall ask the whole American people to answer the Red Cross roll call. It will cOnsti- ute an unique appeal to every man, woman and child in this great land of ours to become enrolled in our army of mercy. It is the hope of the War council that this Christmas member ship roll call shall constitute a re- construction of the whole American people. an inspiring assertion to man kind that in this hour of world trag- edy. not to conquer but to serve is Americas supreme aim"

HENRY p. DAVIDSON TELLS AMERICANS WHAT GREAT OR GANIZATIoN OF MERCY HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH TO ALLEVIATE SUFFERING

NEW YORK, Nov 9.-The Ameri can people have either paid in or pledged to the American Red Cross for it's work of relief throughout the world. in money or material values, a net total of at least $S25,OOO,OOO.
 The American Red Cross has a total membership of 2O,64S.1OS and. in ad- dition, S,O00,0O0 members in the Junior Red Cross; a total enrolment of more than one-fourth the popula- tion of the United States.
 American Red Cross workers pro duced up to July 1 last, a total of 221 ,2s2, ,S3S articles of an estimated value of $44,000,O00.
 About S,00O,0OO women are engaged in canteen work and the production of relief supplies.
 The American Red Cross is distri- outing aid in ten cOuntries-the Unit ed States, England, France. Italy, Bel gium, Switzerland. Palestine. Greece. Russia and Siberia. Besides it has sent representatives to Serbia, Den mark and Madeira.
 More than 5000 Americans will be working under the Red Cross in France by January 1, next.
 These facts were laid before the 3S54 chapters of the Red Cross in the annual message of the war council of the Red Cross, when the chapters, throughout the country today. held their annual meetings to elect off cers.
 Announcement was made in the message that every man, woman and child in the United States would be asked at Christmas time to enroll in the American Red Cross.
 The message. signed by Henry P. Davison. chairman of the war coun- cil said in part:
 Since the beginning of the war, you of the chapters have cO-Operated with the war council in conducting two war fund drives and one member ship drive. in addition to the cam paign on behalf of the Junior Red Cross. The total actual collections to date from the first war fund have amounted 10 more than $l15.0OO 900. The subscriptions to the second war fund amounted to upwards of Sl76,- 100000 From membership dues the collections have amounted 10 approx imately S24.500.000.
 .To the foregoing bust be added that the very large circulations Of ma terials and time given by the millions of women throughout the country. For the period up to July 1, 1918. the American Red Cross chapters, through their work rooms had pro duced: 490.120 refugees garments; 7.123.621 hospital supplies; lO,7S6,4S9 hospital garments; 10134,5Ol knitted articles: 192,74S.107 surgical dress ngs: a total of 221. .2S2.S3S articles on on estimated aggregate value of at least S44.O00,000
 These articles were largely the product of women's hands. and, by the same token, infinitely more prec- ious than could have been the output of factories or machines. These art icles going to the operating rooms of the hospitals. to homeless or needy refugees. and carrying comfort to our own boys in the field, convey a mes sage of love from the women of this country. entirely distinct from the great money value attaching Co their handiNOrk.

Most of the work which you have been called on to perform must go on undi- minished and hope every man and woman in the Council of De fense system will stay on the job. In a few days will write you as to the outlook for future work.

Every day is bargain day at the postof- flee, where the opportunity for helping the government and getting pay for it is con tinual. War saving stamps are the best bargain of all the securities offered by the government as a means of securing money needed for the further prosecution of the war and to meet the expense of returning our armies home and to industrial pursuits.

The allied troops are keeping up steady march in the direction of Berlin with the Germans retreating with as much rapidity as General Foch will permit. The Ameri- can boys are making good at every con tact with the enemy, according to reports coming from the battle front daily.

WHEN THE NEW TERM OPENS

A topsy-turvy close winds up top
sy-tuIvy University term. At the enc
of a session marked by Interruptions
and abnormal conditions, combina.
tion of circumstances forces the lOp-
ping-off of a weeks work.
Perhaps it's just as well. With the
ranks broken, and practically every
body out of step, a full halt offers the
best chance for a new formation and
a new start on the march through
January, February, March and April.
But let's have the ranks full when
we start on. With the war past his
tory, there's no reason why Univer-
sity student should drop his studies.
The years ahead are calling trained
men to solve the problems and meet
the situations arising from the war.
Stay in school, get in school, or re-
turn to school, is the call for every
young man.

TO ESTABLISH LEGAL PATERNIT,
Missouri Children's Code Commission
Would Protect Illegitlmates.

JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 3.-Estab-
lishment of legal paternity for chill.
dren in Missouri born out of wedlocB
is among the legislative program OF
the Missouri Childrens Code Com
mission commenced in the report OF
the commission which will be pre-
sented to the state legisI Iature next
January.
The commission also recommends
laws placing further restrictions on
the employment of child labor; pro-
lection of the rights of children; in
creasing their educational advantage
es; abolition of the common law mar
riage; publication of notices Of inten-
tiOn to MARRY; a system of supervis-
ing and licensing maternity hospitals
and private institutions carry for
children and the creation of a bureau
for mental defects at the University
or Missouri to serve the courts,
schools and institutions in examining
defective children.
Similar recommendations were in
cluded in a program presented to the
legislature two years ago but only
the measures meeting no organized
opposition were adopted at that time.
