 Mothers With Service Flags.
 One feature of the parade that will stand out prominently in the forma- tion, will be the divison which con- tains those heroic mothers of Nor Wich, each one carrying a service flag, thereby making one more sac rIfice for the preservation of Amer ican liberties and by their presence Tn the parade inspiring everyone to do their part in this great war work. The committee in charge Of the dem onstration requests every woman with service flag to be at the Buck ingham Memorial on Saturday eyen- ing at 6.S0. with their service flag, prepared to participate in the parade, It is also the wish of the committees that every Red Cross worker should meet at headquarters at 630 on Sat urday evening, to take part in the parade, and if possible furnish her own cap and apron.
 Chairman Learned Optimistic. Eben Learned, general chairman in charge of the campaign, said: q be- 1eVe that we have the most effective organization to carry on the work of the drive that has ever been formed for a movement of this character. Every chairman and every commit tee has worked enthusiastically to complete the plan of campaign and we will start on Monday morning with feeling of confidence that our ef- forts will be successful"
 Continuing Chairman Learned said: ''The American Red Cross must raise another $100, ,000, 900 to keen its work of worldwide relief at the splendid standard maintained in the past year. It purposes to get the money within week. from May goth to May 27th inclusive and it is going to ask Norwich to give $4o.9o0.
 More Contributors Expected.
 'Tn the first war fund subscription year ago, the amount contributed by this city came from a conpara lively small number of contrihi,tors The fine sincerity of this community's offering at that time was manifested by the fact that there was practically no repudiation of pledges. Since the first money campaign there has been a remarkably successful membership campaign, bringing the membership of the chapter up to more than 5000. On this account it is expected the second war fund will be taken up more generally than was the first: that it will represent the offerings of many more hundreds of contributors in this territory and that" said MT. Learned. "is as it should be-"
 Liberty Loan Example.
 Take the last Liberty Loan as an example" said Chairman Learned. Just as the third Liberty loan proved to be the most widely distributed, democratic and popular of tie series of Liberty loans, the second war fssNd of the Red Cross is exnected to be the most widely distributed, demo- cratic and popular of Red Cross sub scriptions. The actual, definite re- suits obtained from the spending of q great part of the first $10e,000, 900. will play. it is believed a great part in stirring individuals to do their part,
 How If Was Spent.
 Continuing MT. Learned said Here are facts that I think we should all know on the eve of the second cam paign. Out of the $190 ,000, 600 raised for the first war fund for relief work all over the world the expenditures up to March 1 were as follows: In
