TWO DAYS MORE IN
NEAR EAST CAMPAIGN
Drive Was 20 Have Ended Last Night
But VIII Be Continued
Longer.

The nationwide campaign for ap
preparations for the relief Of the near
East, including Armenia, Greece and
Serbia, is being pushed in this city
By an energetic committee.
II has been decided that the cam
paign. which was to have been closed
last night, will be extended for two
days longer, in order that a public
canvass may be further conducted
and the returns made more satisrac-
tory.
A general public appeal has been
made to give subscriptions direct, and
appropriations will be made to Frank
j. Eibberts of the New Britain Trust
company No set quota had been
made for New Britain, but it is hoped
that the public-spirited citizens will
give as generously as they have in
fOrmer campaigns. The committee
is suggesting that they give at least
one-half Of that which they donated
toward the United War Work drive,
or two -thirds of the amount.
No expenses have been incurred in
the campaign, which will necessarily
come ont of public appropriations as
Paul Rogers and Frank Vibberts
nave generously met the expenses Of
bill posting, advertising, etc. In this
way, every dollar which is given to
the cause of the suffering people Of
the East goes to them direct. A pub
nc appeal will be made from the
churches Sunday, in every denomina
lion, in behalf OF the campaign.

CAUSE OF LOSSES
Express Co.. Employees Urge Public
to Be More Careful

Nearly a thousand shipments day
are sent to the mo Mark Bureaus"
of the express company, because all
means of Identification have been lost,
according to statement made at the
Better Service Campaign meeting OF
the local express employees today. At
this rate $4,000 shipments a month
or 100000 a year go astray because
tags or labels have been torn off, thus
removing all means of locating either
he shipper or the Consignee.

by the NO Mark Bureaus" all of
