CAMPAIGN FOR CLOTHING.
Red Cross Makes Another Appeal for
 Refugees.

According to the reports from the Red Cross rooms of this city the campaign which is being co4lG >7rte ed all this week by the chapters Of the Red Cross throughout the country. is meeting with great success. The local chapter has been fortunate in secur- ing the house directly across from the rooms of the society where all old clothing will be stored. Although 3 large amount of clothing has already been secured in this city, still 8 larger amount is asked for. as the need among the Belgian and French refugees in desperate. All clothing received for this purpose will be ship ped to the quarters of the Red Cross in New York, and from there wtli so directly across to the refugees.
 The campaign will continue for the remainder of the week. and all who have old clothing which they are will ing to give for this cause are asked to take 1t to the headquarters of the Red Cross society. If 1t is not pos sihle for them to take it them selves, a post card or phone call will bring representative of the association, who will see that it arrives safely In the headquarters of the relief com mission. Mrs. John H. kirkham of Cedar street is in charge of the campaign.

BARNES HAS COLD,
 POSTPONES RALLY
Speaks at SkrituIsky's But Not
 at Landers' Factory

Because of q. hard cold which has affected his vocal chords, Luther Mir. Barnes was compelled to cancel his noon day rally at the 1Aanders, Frary &5 Clark factory today, but states that he will make an effort to speak there on Thursday noon.
 Mir. Barnes spoke last night at 9 rally in Skritulsky's hall on Broad street but the audience was dIsap- pontingly small. MT. Barnes attri- buted the small attendance to the fact that there was a motion picture show being conducted in the Sacred Heart school hall. Tn an attempt to arouse interest Mir Barnes engaged a num- ber of small boys, it is said, to at tract attention to his rally by beating on tin pans in front of the hall. The rally itself was a very informal affair, the speaker of the evening not wait ing to be introduced or bothering about removing his overcoat or as- cending to the platform.
 Potatoes Rapped of Course.
 In his talk MT. Barnes explained the ten blanks in his platform and called the attention of his listeners to the fact that he is not a politician and does not have any of the factory fn- lSfoCS III bdCk Ol Hl1ll E1S LlSl1 dC- tackled the present administration from business point of view and C~d not fail to mention the all-important municipal farm project in which con- nection, he said, he has read. written and said so much about potatoes that he is ashamed to look any self respecting potato in the eye and has really lost his appetite for that food Another statement he made in refer ence to the present administration is that during the past four years the city employees wages have been ad- vanced from 25 to 50 per cent, in cluding the mayors salary He also declared that there would be no neces- stty of the present tax rate being 20 1-2 mills If someone had not squandered our money"
 Urging closer harmony between the various city departments, MT Barnes said that if this existed the fire com- missioners would not have given away a fine pair of fire horses for S200, but would have given them to the charity department and avoided the necessity of that department buying a pair Tor $500. He also critized the manage meDt of the police department by that board. saying that if the man who bought the police patrol had known his business he would not have taken the present car which has a body one third too large for the engine.

 The rally will be conducted from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock and Councilul an John Owsiak, fifth ward representa- tive in the council and president of the club, will preside. Mir Jester also announces that John McCabe. former president of the club, ex-al- derman and town committeeman and the man who, Mir. Jester claims, brought the fifth ward into the re- publican ranks for the first time i1 it's history, will also speak.

LOOK OVER GARAGE.
Army Officers Inspection Give Rise
 10 New FsunlOrs.

Army officers in the city attracted considerable attention by their casual survey of the Corbin Garage prop erty on Chestnut street, adjoining the new assembly factory which is now in course of construction The ga rage, which is about 200 by 800 feet, is regarded as i'd cal for governm ental use and the actions of the army men started a story to the effect that the property would be taken over by the government. The report lacks con- firmation. The new factory building will be used as a place in which to mount the new anti-aircraft gun mounts on specially constructed au- tomobiles.

Financial
LIBERTY BONDS IN
 DEMAND ON MARKET
Great Demand Features Dealings
 Throughout Entire Day

Wall Street--Heavy buying oE Li- berty Bonds, especially the second 4s St an extreme advance of 1-2 of 1 per cent. was the outstanding feature ot today's early opening of the stock market. The list as a whole reflected the feeling of quiet confidence pre- Val'ins in high Financial Quarters..
 Prices were slightly irregular but fractional reversaIs in some of the more important issues were soon re- trleVed. Shippings, especially Marine Pfd.. were active and strong. U. $. Steel was almost the only leader to show marked pressure
 The unsuitable demand for Liberty Bonds, all of which extended their gains of the morning, imparted ad- dttional firmness to stocks. Rails of the better class were ] to points higher but motors and utilities ro acted.
 The market largely was influenced during the morning by the great ab- sorption of Liberty bonds and the re- assuring news from abroad. Ship pings and investment rails contributed to the general rally. Gains in Atlan- tic Gulf ranged from i to 3-4 points and in rails the advance extended from large fractions to 1 IA points. A block of $1,00O.0oO (per value) Lii berty second 4 s changed hands at 87 1-2. Fluctuations in that issue varied from 97.24 to 9760. First 4's sold at 97.2O to 97s8 and 3 1-2's fro,7, 3S.4o to 9S.60
 Closing.-Rumors of an unsats- factory government steel schedule caused a moderate reaction in the last hour. The closing was irregular Liberty 8 1-2's sold at 9s40 to 99. first 4's at 97.2O to 977O and sec ond 4's at 97.24 to 9794
