SPANISH WAR VETERANS
Start to Raise $500 to Be Sent soI-
 diers With Pershina.

Today marks the opening of an- other campaign in this city, one for S500-"P Pershing's Fourth of July Fund. The money is to be solicited by the Spanish War Veterans and sent to the Connecticut boys in France, equally divided, and they may do what they want to with it.
 This is being done in the state of Connecticut, where they hope to raise s10,000, about g for every Connecti- cut man. The Willimantic district includes the Windhams, Storrs, Mansfield, and Coventry.
 As only few packages can be sent to the soldiers, this money will be much appreciated by them, as they can purchase what they want. The campaign lasts from Juen 10 to 20. The money will be cabled to Major Frank E. Johnson, who has left for '. M. c. A. war work over there and he will deliver it to the proper au- thorities. The local campaign is in charge of Harry Denman and he will be aided by the other Spanish War Veterans and possibly other organi- cations.
