1890 ENROLMENT
SHOWS DEgREASE
III MEMBERSHIPS

Moline's enrolment in the 1920
Red Cross drive will be nearly
1000, according to estimates made
by members Of the committee in
charge Of the drive. Reports were
not completed Monday. Last year
Moline enrolled 10000 members in
the Red Cross. The decrease In
membership is about proLG rtionate
to the results from other cities in
this vicinity. Moline did not have
the benefit of an arsenal canvass
this year and the close Of the war
brought marked indifference on
the part of the general public. Al
though the drive is technically end
ed, solicitors will continue to re-
ceive subscriptions. Enrolment
may be made at any time.
