The foregoing telegram was re-
ceived by The Argus today show
ing the necessity for an over-sub-
scription of quotas for the Red
fund.
Rock Islands share in the $780,
000 900 fund was figured AT $4,000
when the Patriots fund was col
lected several months ago, and it
was stated today that there is no
likelihood that a special campaign
Will be conducted here to over-sub-
scribe the local fund 1t was said
that should it be necessary to make
up an over-subscription it would be
done in December along with the
membership drive.
In rural communities in the low
er end of the county, where Red
Cross workers are canvassing for
funds, there is shown tendency to
over-subscribe for the fund. Bowl
ing township has returned 120 per
cent of its quota.
Persons who pledged money to
the Red Cross through the Patriots
fund can get Red Gross fund but
tons by calling upon the secretary
of the patriots committee on the
fifth floor of the Central Trust
building.

AMERICA NOT READY FOR
PEACE,

Rev. David A. Johnson. who hss
been attending the general assem-
bly, Of the Presbyterian church a.
Columbus, Ohio, during the past
two weeks, will again occupy The
pulpit of the Central Presbyterian
church tomorrow. In the morning
he will preach a sermon from tie
rather striking theme, Peace When
America Be Trusted With Peace "
This promises to be a sermon fun
Of the sanest and truest patriotism.
The minister will take the position
that conditions are not yet such n
America as to make peace safe
He holds that permanent peace can
result only from the triumph Of a
righteous cause where a nation has
given itself wholeheartedly 10
righteousness He will contend that
there are certain national sins that
prevent an early peace unless these
sins are speedily removed. An in.
vitation is extended all those who
wish to hear a fair and sane dis
cussion of this question.
Because of the baccalaureats
sermon at the First Methodist
church in the evening. the sacred
cantata which was to have been
given is postponed until Sunday
evening, June 8.

Commissioner John Liedtke an

uous efforts to get alleys in tip-top
shape before the hot weather.
All garbage teams will be in har-
ness next week-and the numerous
cc6nrfaints which ha1e>-~6ome in
during the last few days will be
thoroughly investigated.

RED CROSS GETS
500 FUND FROM
VILLA FIELD DAY

Field day at the villa de Chantal
brought the Rock Island Red Cross
war fund 800.
That amount has just been turned
over to the local chapter. The
villa is a junior auxiliary of the
chapter and has already raised its
junior fund This recent gift is in
addition to funds previously raised.
Chapter officials state that they
are most grateful for all such sup
port which will carry the fund over
the local quota. particularly since
last year Rock Island fell one-third
behind its allotment The villa gift
is one of several such war fund
contributions, a list of which will
be published later.
Rural branches are fast going
"over the top" on their share of
the war fund. Some of them went
over on the first day of the drive.
Nearly all of them report that peo-
pie scarcely need to be asked, that
they are all eager to give.
