.Sholu Almost Half
OF Fund Subscribed

WASHINGTON, May %. - Nearly
one-half of the Americon Red Cross
second $1oo,OO0,ooO War Mercy Fund
had been subscribed on the face of re-
turns received at headquarters here to-
night at the end of the third days
campaign.
The total subscriptions from the
twelve districts was 44,070,555, but it
was recognized that these figures were
incomplete and did not represent the
maximum subscriptions up to this
time. Although success of the cam
paign seems assured. workers are not
letting up, as it is hoped to roll up an
oversubscription.
Necessity for those chapters, towns
and states which have oversubscribed
to continue their efforts was empha-
sized in statement sent to war fund
managers by Henry P Dawson, chair
man of the Red Cross War Council.
Mr.. Dawson called attention to the
fact that the arrangements for the
campaign were made early in the year
before the recent German drives in
Picardy and Flanders and that changed
conditions called for increased Red
Cross funds. For that reason he asked
all workers to continue efforts until
the close of the campaign
