The Red Cross Announces an I'm
portant Ruling and Gives Advice
about Sending Packages
Overseas
To All Organizations:

To All Organizations:
The War and Post Office depart
ments have issued an order as of
November 18th authorizing the ex-
tension or the mailing date for
Christmas parcels up to and includ-
in November 30th.
The Wa" Department has author
lied the American Red Cross to have
printed a sufficient number of addi-
tional Christmas labels exactly SINH
lar to those received from abroad,
these to be furnished on request to
chapters, branches and auXiliaries to
families who have not received labels
from abroad, or who have lost OF
destroyed their labels. The appli-
cant must make a statement substan-
TALLY as fellows:
"The Undersigned hereby makes ap-
plication to forward Reorganization
American Expeditionary Forces, a
Christmas package. The undersigned
hereby declares that he or she is the
nearest living relative in the United
States Of the proposed recipient;
that he or she has not received a
label from abroad and that should
such label be received, it would not
be used; and that to the best of his
or her knowledge and belief only one
Christmas parcel will be sent the pro-
posed recipient"
This arrangement will be effective
beginning November 21st. We will
send to all chapters a supply of these
blank labels which they will dis

have sent Il further supply of cartons
to all distribution centers and we feel
that we have amply provided for the
needs.
Please bear in mind that this in
no way affects the other detailed in
structions already sent you. Parcels
! must be Inspected in exactly the same
way and the inspection labels must
be put on. We feel that it is very
! important that every organization
keep a record of these labels that
they give cut and a record of every
one to whom they have given a box
so that there may be no chance OF
duplication of packages to any one
man.
The above arrangement has been
effected at the request of the Wal
Department. to prevent disappoint-
ment to those who have not previ-
onsfy received labels and they intenf
/ to assure that one parcel will be sent
to each man. In order to prevent
any man overseas or his family be
ing disappointed, we suggest that you
give this the widest possible publicity

No School for Slackers in

We are over the top in the great
United Wa: Work Campaign. No
body knows just how much over yet,
as subscriptions were still coming in
when this paper went to press this
afternoon.
The official figures of the drive are
compiled every evening and at 8
o'clock last night the totals showed
1899 subscribers had pledged $24,-
1861. The final results will be
given in Six: Caledonian tomorrow.
Encouraging features of the cam
paign yesterday were many subscrip-
tions from unexpected sources which
wer brought or telephoned to head
quarters.
Mr.. Charles H. Morse telegraphed
a subscription of $500 to the town
chairman which was very gratefully
received.
The Vic@:.ry Boys and Girls in the
public schools of St. Johnsbury have
done excellent work in this campaign
and have subscribed $872.60 with the
understanding that this money is to
be earned by the givers.
The county chairman insisted that
st. Johnsbury must raise at least
$25, 900 outside of this subscription
by the Victory Boys and Girls and it
| has been done.
The old town has shown its patriot
ism in a tlo parade and a loud noise
recently aha it is not a bit behind
when calle1 upon to respond with its
dollars. ct the boys come home as
soon as they can be spared. We are
proud of them and proud of the home

a transfer agent or a broker without
profit, purchasing this stock from T.
Coleman dupont and reselling it to the
important employees whom he thought
should be more closely Identified with
the company. Mr.. Pepper laid stress
on this point all through his argument
and showed that ihis pcrv object was
attained in the end by the disiri
ton which Pierre =. uupont made OF
the Securities Company's stock.
He also called the courts attention
TO the fact that the letter which Alfred
/. dupont wrote TO r. Coleman dupont
explaining the situation. was received
by T. Coleman dupont before he sold
the stock TO Pierre S dupont and that
in the letter Alfred !. laid before r.
Coleman dupont every fact which it
had been cOntended Pierre had sup
pressed Consequently, Mr. Pepper said
T. Coleman was fully informed: he did
not take his final action without thor
ough knowledge OF the entire situa-
tion. and in face Of this knovledgc he
replied TO Alfred !. in a way which
showed that he had regarded the deal
with the company as being off many
weeks before
Mr. Pepper also called the courts
attention to the great uncertainty
which had surrounded the dupont
operations at the beginning Of the war,
and, referring to the dates Of the var
ious transactions showed that it was
not until all uncertainty was over and
the stock which the plaintiffs said
was worth only si25 a share had more
than doubled that price that this suit
was brought. In other wo ds. he
pointed out that it was only the uncer-
tainty Of large profits without risk that
induced these plaintiffs to take an in
terest in securing the stock. He con-
cluded by repeating again that the
whole correspondence from beginning
to end showed that the company had
no right TO an interest in the stock be
cause it had never been intended that
it should profit in any way by the
purchase.
