CITY QUOTA
DRAGGING.
WORKERS
HOPEFUL

Brownsville must subscribe 81 .06i to-
day and an equal amount tomorrow and
Saturday to go "over the top in the See
odd Red Gross drive. Brownsville has
been called upon to furnish $1,000 to the
Red Cross and when the reports last night
city had subscribed S3,S72.3S towards
this amount in the first three days of the
drive. Yesterdays committee reports
showed that sl,199.22 had been collected
by the committees during the day.
With full knowledge of the need for re-
doubled efforts the committees are prose
cutting the drive with renewed vigor and
confidence that the city will subscribe It's
quota The drive will end on the night of
MAY 27-Monday of next week, but it i
hoped that the quota will be reached by
tomorrow n ght.
a committee has reported 10 the central
committee that there are IN Brownsville
a few Mexican refugees who will not sub
scribe to the Red Cross because they are
Mexican citizens. This attitude i arous-
ing Indignation because of the very appar-
ent faffacy of its reasoning. While ear
ing for American soldiers i its first aim
the Red Cross j. international in its scope
and the Red Cross nurse never asks the
wounded man his nationality. On the 9TH
er hand, the refugee who refuses to sub
scribe because he i refugee i, In a
sense, total expatrate. BY his alb
sence from Mexico he is denying her or
the party he espouses, his assistance. BY
living in the United States and refusing TO
subscribe he is refusing to help the coun-
that is affordng him an asylum.
The committee l. also greatly rlScon-
ccrted by the fast that concerts which last
year made large donations 10 the fund,
have cut their donations by one-fourth
TO one-haf, instead of increasing them.
