Atlanta May 20.-Although the Red Cross drive for the second $100,0o0,0o0 war work fund did not begin officially until tonight, preliminary reports from points in the southern division brought word that numbers of towns and cities in the division had already subscribed more than their quotas. Division head quarters, in making this announce n ent today, however, stressed the point that there was just as much use for every dollar of oversubscription as for dollars of the regular quota. There should be no slackening of efforts ne- cause of early favorable reports, it was urged.
 Reports from every state in the di- vision indicated. tonight's headqlar- ters report said. that there is spirit behind this campaign to not merely get quotas, but to show oversubscriptions wherever possible. Typical among the telegrams received was one from Sum ter. s. C., reporting subscriptions to- taling sS4.0o0 and still going" on a quota of $17.o00.
 The campaign in Atlanta was opened with mass meeting at the auditorium, tonight under the auspices of the Shriners. where it was ordered to raise substantial part of the city's allot- ment of s25o000
