their adhesion TO one of the greatest

has been raised for the Red Cross in

reports were all in they would show
several thousand dollars in excess of
the sum pointed to by the hands OF

MARSHALL is RECONVlNCED

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-"Never be-
fore in the history of the republic has
the soul of America shone upon man
kind with such refulgent splendor, as
it does this day" said Vice President
Marshall. in an address today at Red
Cross rally at the Metropolitan opera
house.
Declaring that before the war he had
feared at times, 1.-THE soul of America
had been lost, because her tendency
seemed to be toward a pure material
ism," the vice president said he had
been reconvinced by the way in which
all classes had met the hour of sacri-
flee and duty, that the creators of the
nation had "breathed into the body po-
litics as it's immortal soul, the prin-
ciple of equal and exact justice for all
men"
