COMPLAINS OF FACTORY.
Stanley Street Residents Object to
Sewage From l.. F. & c. Shop.

Numerous complaints are being
made by the residents OF the south
ern end of Stanley street, near the
old Trade school and Landers. Frary
g. Clarll's new factory, relative to the
alleged obnoxious conditions caused
by the sewage from the plant.
1t is said that this concern has
no sewage outlet and inasmuch as
the factory is so much lower than
Stanley street it is impossible to lay
It sewer there. Acids, chemical
washes and other alleged dirty
waters are permitted to run into the
factory yard into a shallow pool and
some of it is said to run over onto
adjoining property
Recently the factory acquired a
right of way through some adjoining
properties and the plan is supposed
to be for long sewer through to

RED CROSS WEEK
President Appeals to Public to
Contribute to $1oo,ooo,ooo Fund

Washington, May S.-President
Wilson late yesterday issued a proc
lamation appealing to the American
people in behalf of the American Red
Cross, whose second war fund cam
paign to raise $100,000,000 is to begin
May 20 and continue throughout the
entire week. The President issued a
proclamation fixing the week of May
20 as Red Cross Week, and urges
that generous contributions be made
to so worthy cause. The text of
the proclamation follows:
Proclamation.
'Inasmuch as the War Fund of
1917, SO generously contributed by
the American people to the American
Red Cross for the administration of
relief at home and abroad, has been
practically exhausted by appropria-
tons for the welfare of the men in
our military and naval forces and for
those dependent upon them, and for
the vet more urgent necessities Of our
allies, military and civilian, who have
long borne the brunt of war:
And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross is recognized by law and
international conventions as the pub
lie instrumentality for war relief;
And, inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands upon
the patriotism and liberality of our
people, and made evident the necessity
OF concentrating the work of relief in
one main organization which can re-
spond effectively and universally to
the needs of humanity under stress of
war;
And iansmuch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer CO.
opertion of the American Red Cross
with our own army and navy, with
the governments of our allies and with
foreign relief organizations have re-
suited in the discovery of new op-
portunities of helpfulness under con-
ditions which translate opportunity
into duty;
/ "And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross war council and it's COM
missoners in Europe have faithfully
and economically administered the
peoples trust:
Nov therefore, by virtue of my
authority as president of the United
States and president of the American
Red Cross, I, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 20, 1918, as RED Cross Week."
during which the people of the Unit
ed States will be called upon again to
give generously to the continuation
Of the important work of relieving
distress, restoring the waste of war,
and assisting in maintaining the
morale Of our own troops and the
troops and peoples of our allies by
this manifestation of effort and sacri-
fce on the part of those, who, though
not privileged to bear arms, are of
one spirit, purpose and determination
with our warriors.
