Sswias for the Soldiers
RED CROSS DRIVE
fr.nt

The York chapter with its auxiliary
chapters has been apportioned $1,000
in this war fund campaign.
This ssessment Is really made upon
the basis Of a s200,000,000 campaign
for the following reasons:
The original plan Of the campaign
was for the sum of 800, 100000, and
all literature was gotten out on this
basis Before the beginning OF the
campaign however and before any APP
poitionmcnt had been made, the Ger
mans commenced the great offensive
in France, and within u week or 50
thereafter more than three times as
many american troops have been sent
TO France as before and are still be-
ing sent. So that where the Red Cross
needed s1OO.000,000 three months ago,
1t needs 5000, 100000 now and the ap-
portionment has been made on that
basis. II Is to be hoped that the York
chapter will over subscribe and there
Is every reason for believing that il
will do so.
