400 CHAPTERS
ARE READY FOR
4TH ROLL CALL
Rivalry Keen Among Southern TOWNS
To Get Quota Of Red Cross
Members First.

Atlanta Ga. Novs-More than four
hundred chapters of the American Red
Cross and about three hundred chap
ter branches are organized in the
southern division for the Fourth Red
Cross Roll Call. November 11-25
"By organization is meant that these
chapters and branches have chairmen,
committees and the enthusiasm to
make the Fourth Roll Call sure sue
cess in their communities" said j.
L. McMillin, southern division man
ager of the Red Cross, today.
I'VE have reports from every one
Of them that they are only awaiting
the date to begin the campaign. First
the workers themselves will renew
their memberships in the Red Cross.
Then every old member will be called
upon to s-enlist under the Red Cross
banner. After chat. every effort will
be made to get in the territory of each
chapter as nearly one hundred per
cent membership in the Red Cross as
It is possible to get"
The southern division includes the
five states of Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina Tennessee and Flor
ida. Last year the division, for its
population, made as fine record as
any part of the country in enrolling
Red Cross members. This year ii is
the eager purpose of every chapter
to put the southern division Oh top
again.
A friendly but keen rivalry exists
among the various chapters to be the
first to report that their quotas are
secured. A different system has been
used this year in assigning quotas to

make the Roll Cali success. Spea
ing of the view with which most Amer
leans regard the Fourth Roll Call, one
Atlanta paper already has called upon
Atlantans to join the Red Cross In
the following editorial language:
The Red Cross Roll Calls are not
drives, not attempts to raise large
sums Of money for untried causes, but
thew are institutions in the nations
life, the one time Of the year when
the American people, old and young,
are asked to renew their memberships
in the organization that is so express
siye Of the national spirit and so great
a benefit to the nation as a whole.
THE American Red Cross is differ
ent in this respect from the Red Cross
of other nations, in most Of which it
is maintained by large contributions
from the wealthy, The American Red
Cross is essentially democratic. 1t
was founded by the American people.
They maintained it for nearly forty
years. In the war, thousands of them
found in it the opportunity to serve
they so ardently sought.
so, today, the Red Cross belongs
to the American people. 1t gives them
the chance they all want In their
hearts to do some good in the world.
Singly, their dollars for memberships
might amount to little; but matched
by millions of otker dollars from ev-
cry part of the country, they become
mighty factor in caring for our sol.
diers and sailors; looking after the
interests of the wounded and manned
of the war; safeguarding the discharg-
ed service man and his family; doing
the same thing for thousands OF un.
fortunate civilians; bringing public
health nursing and good health to hun.
dreds of communities; training our
boys and girls in the way they should
go; doing many other things that en-
ter into the peace-time program Of the
Red Cross which, in the two years
since the signing Of the armistice, has
been demonstrated to all as one Of
the finest agencies for public welfare
in the life of the country.
THAT is what Red Cross member
ship dollars can Go. 1t would seem
chat no American citizen, with the
good of his country and his own COM
tsunity at heart, would refuse to join"

first and then dividing this out among
the various chapters each chapter
carefully estimated the amount OF
money needed TO finance its needs and
its plans during the coming year. The
chapters quota was then based on this
amount, and the quota for the entire
division made up from the various
chapter quotas.
Thus, the Roll Call this year is more
than ever local proposition in each
community. When local people sub
scribe to the Red Cross, they are sub
scribing to meet local needs, and for
every dollar paid for membership in
the Red Cross, fifty cents will be kept
by lie local chapter to finance its
plans for next year. The other fifty
cents goes to national headquarters,
to maintain the national work Of the
Red Cross
I'VE challenge every other chapter
in the southern division to beat our
Roll Call record" wrote one Roll Cali
chairman in North Carolina. I'VE in
tend to be the first over the top
for we are laying our plans to get on;
full quota of members early in the
morning OF November H."
This spirit is typical of the way
the vast majority of chapters are
awaiting the Fourth Roll Call. 1t is
rare exception where chapters are
not thoroughly organized and plans
worked out to secure the quota of
members easily and quickly.
Hundreds of newspapers throughout
the southern division will cooperate

Probably in his youth he had no idea
of growing Obi ri iopP"ting this life 4
therefore when his enthusiasm and

If somewhat ashamed of his mission,
like polar burglar, and his eight tiny
reindeer make small clatter on the

aside of his nose reflectively in our
times, he eXclaims, without bit of
jolly shake below the waist: 'Degen-
crates! Degenerates! Has my world
come to such pass that people wish

be that little children are so surfeited
with toys that they stop to ask how
much they cost before accepting them.

Washington Man Accepts Posi-
ton as Merchandise Manager.

Lester Lansburgh. formerly mer-
chandise manager and a member Of
the Arm of Lansburgh G. Brothers. has
Joined the stan OF the A. I. Namm &
Sons, a large Brooklyn department
store, as merchandise manager, 1t was
learned today.
Mr.. Lansbursh began his duties
with the Brooklyn Arm last Monday.
He had severed his connection with
the Washington store last April, 1t
was stated. There was some rumor
at the time that he would establish a
large special shop in this city, but it
was later stated that the enterprise
was delayed by the prohibitive costs
Of rents here.
Mr.. Lansburgh's duties with the
Washington store were important and
the announcement OF his decision to
leave the firm came as a big surprise
to his friends and business associates
here. 1t was stated. however, that he
still retains his interest in the firm Of
Lansburgh & Brothers.

NEW STATE JOINS
WAR ON JAPANESE
Washington Begins Movement
for Restriction Similar to
That of California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. s.-As a re-
suit Of the overwhelming victory of
the California anti-Japanese program
at the polls Tuesday, agitation of the
Japanese question on the Pacific
Coast, instead OF being stilled, today
seemed to have become stronger than
ever.
In California the anti-Japanese ele-
ments are demanding a still more
stringent restrictive program, while
the Japanese and their supporters
among the white residents OF the
state announced plans to fight the
anti-Alien land law in the courts.
In the meantime the agitation had
spread to the state of Washington,
where a movement for the adoption
of restrictive program similar to
that OF California, already under way,
was given added impetus.
Colonel John p. Irish, leader of the
pro-Japanese element in this state, in
a formal announcement declared that
Tuesday becomes effective, which
probably will be In December, he will
lease property to Japanese and ask
the state to bring a test suit against
him.
The Japanese Association of
America announced II had called a
meeting OF Its executive committee
for November Is to consider the Cali
fornia situation.
"Our plans are very Indefinite" was
the only comment X. Kanskai, official
Of the organization, would make.
