COMING RED CROSS DRIVE

It was the original intention to be-
gin raising the $10O,0O0,000 needed for
the Red Cross on May 9, but fear that
1t might detract even slightly from the
forthcoming Liberty loan campaign,
promoted the war council Of the Red
Cross to postpone the date for two
weeks This action fixes the date for
the second war fund campaign eleven
months after the first, which was car
ried on the week Of June 1S, 1917.
The war council had been appointed
by President Wilson five weeks prior
to the start Of the first money-raising
campaign, and the first great task was
to provide the means of carrying on
relief work on a scale commensurate
with the military operations.
More than $100,0O0,000 was contribu-
ted in response to the first call for f.
nancial aid and the contributions, plus
interest, brought the total receipts
from the first drive to sos, 099, PCT. OF
this amount $17,0O6,121 was refunded
to chapters for local relief work. OF
the balance available for appropria-
tons of $10,371 PIT. Franco has been
the beneficiary of American Red Cross
appropriations in the sum of more
