WAR WORK FUND
NOT FOR RED CROSS

Following Is a telegram received b.
The American National Red Cross from
the War Council:
Miss Emily p. Bissell, Secretary.
Delaware Chapter, A. r.. c., VIII
mington, Delaware.
The Red Cross, while urging the
most cordial support and cO-Opera-
tion on the part Of all OF It's mem
bers, does not participate in the
United War Fund Campaign this
week. II is quite evident that there
has been misunderstanding In many
places on this point. The Red Cross
is amply equipped with funds with
which to take care OF its needs until
the late spring OF next year, at
which time q campaign for funds
for Its relief work may be neces-
sary. II is but fair to organizations
In the United War Fund that the
public should understand that con-
tributiOns this week are exclusively
for their work. IL Is also but fair
10 the public that people should
know that provision for needs OF
the Red Cross during the coming
year is not taken care OF during
this campsign. The Red Cross does
not authorize any one to carry on
this week a campaign for funds In
its name or for It's work. but Il
does urge the utmost possible gem
erosity toward the United War
Fund Campo gn for seven recrea-
tional organizations whose budgets
have been approved by the national
government.

GERMANS ON BATTLE
FRONT WITHOUT ARMS
BY WEBB MILLER.

By The United Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Nov. 12 Might Huge fires
were visible tonight in the direction OF
Conlans behind the German lines.
At some places the Germans remained
facing the Americans waving their
hands toward our lines and strolling in
the open fields without gun
The second army reports heavy
shouting and cheering from the enemy
lines all night and flares and rockets. "
The approximate enemy line, as given
to American officers shows our troops
advanced considerably during the last
hours before the armistice.
The huge fires reported behind the
German lines are accepted as being bon
fires in celebration Of the armistce
rather than the destruction OF mate
