In speaking of his invention. Mr..
Rousseau says:
Since 1907 It has been my ambition
to design an aircraft which would be
superior TO the Zeppelin, as 1t is my be-
lief that that craft is constructed on
absolutely wrong principles of aerial
navigation. In the first place the Yep
pelin is wrong as regards general con-
struction. design and length. as well as
the type of gas balloons used. The
tuborigible has been planned with a
view OF overcoming just these points
and of combining simplicity, lightness
and durability.

announcement made by G.. M. Dahl,
chairman Of the War Fund Committee
for the Atlantic Division of the Red
Cross. This announcement followed
the receipt of a telegram from the
War Council of the Red Cross.
The big Red Cross campaign was
originally set for May 6 to Is, but on
account of possible interference with

that the later date would more effec7

Through the action of the War Coun-
Gil the campaign for the second $780,

mately eleven months after the first
$1O0,000,000 War Fund Drive. The first
campaign was launched June 1S, five
weeks after President Wilson appoint
ed the War Council, headed by Henry
P. Dawson. AT the outset of it's activ-
tiles the War Council saw the need of
a huge war fund, not only to uphold
the morale and conserve the strength
of our Army and Navy, but also to
are for the helpless civilian sufferers
il Europe.
The public Immediately responded to
the appeal, subscribing more than
500, 200, 900. Interest added to the
contributions brought the total fund to
$1O5, O99,257.
OF this amount SIT, 721,9 1S has been
appropriated for Red Cross activities
at home and abroad. In addition, ST.
006,1 21 was refunded to chapters for
supplies and local relief work, leaving
a remainder of $%10,371.217 now availa-
hle for appropriations. For the benefi
of France alone the American Rec.
Cross has expended more than $780,
100000.
At the time of its first war fund
campaign the membership of the Red
Cross was a little more than 100000.
Today, as a result of the membership
campaign during the week preceding
Christmas, the Red Cross has approx
mately 23,000,000 members, not includ-
ing the membership In its Junior De-
partment. a collateral branch of the
