general committee the progress to date is most satisfactory, taking into con- sideration the handicap of stormy weather.
 With only four days remaining in which to fill the Red Cross war chest, and make it run over, it means a gen. eraI speeding up all along; the line so that the goal may be reached at the .earliest possible time. Team mem bers collecting in the business dis tricts, workers in the house. toulouse canvass, the committee in charge of the canvass of industrial plants, and the hundreds of other agencies that are being employed to raise funds, are right on the job every minute in the day and are getting results. 100 Per Cent. Efficient. Subscriptions are being received of all sizes and the small subscription Efrom those who cannot afford more is E5ust as welcome as the larger dona- tions from those who means will per init them to give more literally. Many of the industrial concerns and mer- cantile establishments are reported as being 100 per cent. efficient which means that every person interested in that concern. employer or einploye, has made a contribution to the Red Cross fund, either small or large, according to their financial ability This is one of the most encourag ging features of the campaign.
 Voice of Men in France. At the close of the second day of 1 the campaign, Secretary of War Ba- ker issued this message to the. na- tion in behalf of the Red Cross War Fund campaign.
 Every battlefield in France speaks ! eloquent testimony of the merciful work of the Red Cross. If the voice Of the American Expeditionary Force could be heard there would be no doubt concerning the responses of the United States to the second war fund campaign. The terrors of battles are decreased and the horrors it, entails are minimized by this greatest of re- | lief agencies. No support which. the American people give to it will be misconceived or misdirected."

The sum o1 | S3.05 was reported from the smaller children of the High street school, that sum having been raised by folk danc- ing in the neighborhood of the school
