 Yeserday's returns sent the grand total or the campaign up to S245'- 5o5-S7. The amount sought in the time for the. doing of duty. Tester days subscriptions represented a to- tai of 1,160 givers. So far in the campaign there are listed only about population of 145,O0O.
 Yesterday the campaign was thrown wide open to the workers They now have the privilege of sol civities have been confined to the cards that they have drawn from the big list compiled or those that have been assigned to them. Now they are at liberty to seek funds where they will.
 The campaign leaders, realizing the great task of reaching everyone in the city, urge that all persons who are not called upon by a solicitor bring or send their gifts to the campaign head quarters, Room fl, Hotel Stratfield. Many such subscriptions already have come to headquarters. Team work CTS made reports yesterday of per- sons who met them on the street and handed over good1y gifts. They had feared they would not be reached and desired to cooperate in the move ment.
