SALVATION ARMY
FUND IS NOT MET
D. c. Has Until Midnight to
Reach Goal of $4,000
for Work Here.

With the last day of the Salvation
Army's 1920 annual appeal at hand
Washington SO far has failed to sub
scribe the $4,000 needed to continue
the organizations humanitarian work
in this city for another year. The city
has until midnight tonight to contribute
the needed amount.
Although the headquarters committee
Is unable to determine, because reports
of committees collecting in government
departments have not been turned in,
the actual amount contributed to date
there is no doubt that Washington has
failed to reach it's goal.
volunteer workers today redoubled
their efforts An eleventh-hour appeal
has been sent out to business men to
come across" with large donations.
Work on the appeal will continue until
| midnight tonight
The committee at Salvation Army an
peal headquarters in the Willard Hotel
nlexzanine floor is ready to receive do
nations. Those wishing to donate are
urged to make the checks payable to
Thomas F. Hickman. treasurer. and
mail them to the Willard addressed to
William B. Wcstlake
Director Westlake's Statement.
Director Westlake today made public
the following statement:
I'VE have only today in which to raise
the total of $4,000 in the time al
lotted.
Until we receive the reports of
all committees we will not know
all of those who have contributed
the larger sums. but we feel that
we are falling short in the larger
contributions. and we urge upon the
people of Washington that they send
in without delay the most generous
amounts possible.
washington has never failed to
respond to a worthy appeal, and,
while drives have been numerous and
the burden has been heavy. we feel
that the people of Washington would
rather have almost any other short
coming charged to them than that
OF failing to support the Salvation
Army.
IF we do not go over the top to-
day it will be because we have fol-
lowed the plan of waiting for VOL
untary contributions. 1t is needles SIS
to say that those who failed to re-
spond voluntarily can. If necessary,
still be approached for contributions
but it will be a fine thing if one
can say that Washington really sub
scribed it's quota on voluntary
basis"
