rollment of 100000 persons in the

equal the 100000 OF last year. The
roll call has been handicapped by in
fluenza and bad weather in many parts
of the country, and the final day, to-
morrow, will be devoted to rounding up
all persons who are not wearing the
1919 Red Cross button.
The central division, Michigan, ILL

was still in the lead today with ap-
proximately 100000 enrollments.
