M. Clemenceau's visit to England, the

nected. M. C-lemenceau, doubtless, comes
to do what be can, to fill the breach,

AS the prospect of support from America

this country grows, and may enter not
only the military and diplomatic spheres
but also those of finance and economics. !"

Plans for Red
Cross Driue Are
Materializing

Harry n. wilbern Of Minneapolis
has been appointed manager OF the
Northern Division Red Cross Mem
bership campaign, which will begin
on November 2, and end Armistice
Day.
Universal membership for 1920 Is
the aim Of the drive, during which
the Division will raise it's share of the
316,OO0,000 which must be provided
in order that the American Red Cross
may fulfill its war-relief obligations
here and abroad, and embark on the
Peace-Time program to which the Or
ganization is committed.
The surplus medical supplies and
supplementary food stores Of the
American army abroad have been
turned over to the Red Gross. for dis
tribution among the still suffering
refugees of Eastern Europe. This
necessitates the continuance Of Red
Cross operations overseas.
The extension of Public Health
Nursing activities to rural comYnun-
tiles is n feature Of the Peace-Time
Nursing program. and opportunity
for every woman to learn Home Hy-
giene and Care of the Sick through
Red Cross classes will be offered
struction. Permanent Homo Service
will offer constructive social service
to communities to which no other
such agency is available.
The establishment of these activi-
ties is contingent on the approval of
the American public, t O be expressed
in the response to the call for mem
bers. Montana, Minnesota, and
North and South Dakota will be sep
arately organized under Mr.. Will
bern's direction to go over the top
for the Red Cross and Humanity in
