GREAT RESPONSE EXPECTED
m RED GROSS DRIVE

pensacolas drive for the American
Red Cross will bring forth the great
est response from this section whlch
has ever been made TO any appeal. IL
one may judge from the manner IN
which plans are going forward for the
success of the drive, and the spien-
did way in which the various commit
tees are taking hold of the prelimin-
airy work.
one of the features OF the drive
which will be most unique and Aex-
tremely interesting, as well as pro-
ductive of splendid results. no doubt,
will be the great Red Cross which
will be formed by the people them
selves through their contributions to
the cause.
A mammoth board will be placed IN
some conspicuous point in the city,
with a black background upon which
from day TO day the Red Cross viii
be formed.
The Cross will be of red blocks, one
block being painted against the back
ground each day, as the drive pro-
crosses. each block representing GER
tain percentage of the twenty-five
thousand dollars which is TO be raised
in Escambia county.
In some cities the Red Cross has
been completed before the close of the
campaign, and it is believed that this
will be the case in Pensacola, where
there is such splendid. patriotic
spirit which has carried every drive
forward, and will carry this TO a sue
cessfuI conclusion.
II was announced last night that a
feature of the Red Cross parade which
will take place on Sunday, will be the
