900 in the Recent Big Drive.

Washington, d. c., Feb. S.-Figures
low available on the Red Cross Christ
mas membership drive show a total
OF the population of the United States.
Of this total the Red Cross had
about 100000 members before the
Christmas drive started, so that the
gain from the drive was approximately
17,50G,000 new members. The central
division, CT which Chicago is the head
quarters, leads the other twelve diyis-
ions Of the country in the number Of
new members enrolled Christmas
week.
BY divisions the gains were as fol-
lows. Atlantic, 2,S00,0O0: Central s.

From the fourteenth division COM
prising all OF the territorial insular and

States the new members added num-
Der $4,000.
Unprecedentedly unfavorable wealth
er prevailed during the drive so that

Ono of the chief benefits anticipated
from the enlarged membership is the
addition of thousands of active work
ers to Red Cross chapters where sup
