Chairman Eben Learned was in an optimistic mood when questioned last evening about the progress of the sec ond campaign of the American Red Cross for war funds. Upon the Nor wich chapter" said MT. Learned, has been placed the task of raising S4o0e0 in this drive. and while considerable number of additional subscriptions must be secured before that sum is realized. we are determined to exert every available effort in our desire to attain the end for which we are work ing. Norwich has not yet neglected any similar patriotic project and we have no reason to feel that the cam paign now in progress will be allowed to go on record as a failure.
 Enthusiastic Workers Everywhere.
 Tt is simply wonderful" said Chair man Learned "how well everybody is working. The house to house can- vassers, ,kthe committees to canvass the mercantile and industrial plants, the women workers in the theatres, the various church organizations, in fact, every agency engaged in this drive are doing wonderfully well. And the out lying districts are responding gener- ously, too. Without their good work, we would not have a fighting chance of going over the top.'
 Everyone Should Give Something.
 Continuing, Chairman Learned said: Tn this campaign we want to reach everyone. The Red Cross wants every man, woman and child whose heart is in this war to contribute something in this campaign, no matter how small. It will be reproach not to give some thing; it is duty, and should be 8 joy to give generously. Some can contribute very little; therefore others should give more literally, when they can In the day of final victory, and when the work of the American Red Cross in this world conflict shall be a matter of record, everyone of US who has given to this organization of mercy, either in service or out of our means, will feel proud to think that our contribution at this time, no mat ter how small it may be, has been a factor in the winning of this war Athletic Games Today.
