Fortune Sends Check for
$4,000 to Washington
Headquarters,
DRIVE IS CONTINUED
Contributions From Citizens
Are Still Pouring Into
Office Here.

A check for $25,O00, half OF
the Indianapolis quota of the
japanese relief fund of the
American Red Cross, was mailed
to Washington today by vii
liam Fortune, chairman of the
Indianapolis chapter. The
amount was raised in seven
days.
The following telegram was sent to
Mrs John Allen Daugherty, manager
of the Washington division, by For
tune:
I'VE are today forwarding a check
for $4,000 representing voluntary
contributions from a large number
of our people in amounts ranging
from 81 to $1,000 each, for the re-
lief Of sufferers in stricken Japan.
This comes wholly from sympa-s
thetic volition of our people. We
hope to receive our quota of the
Red Cross fund from these volun-
because they want to help others
who are in dire distress. We are
not conducting a campaign of per
sonal solicitation, but we are de-
pending on our newspa pers instead.
We have faith that our people will
fulfill expectations. The response
from Indianapolis to the appeal Of
President Coolidge and the Red
Cross will come voluntarily from
sympathetic and generous people"
Ninety-nine per cent of the contri-
buttons mailed to Red Cross head
quarters are written on a newspaper
contribution blank. Fortune said
This shows that the people of In
dlanapolis are giving theis=.fu
measure voluntarily" Fortune said
Prompt and generous giving will
snean that Indianapolis viii be classed
among the cities filling their quotas
first. Since the Red Cross has or
kanized no soliciting campaign the
matter of meeting Indianapolis quota
OF $4,000 is left entirely to the indi-
vidual
What a splendid thing it would be
II indianapolis could, out of voluntary
offerings, make up the total which the
American Red Cross has assigned it,
said Fortune. Better to have il that
way than to get two or three tiples
the quota by organized soliciting, f1r
what is coming now is voluntary ex-
preston of the wish to help millions
OF homeless people who have been
stricken by a great calamity"
New York Organized
Other cities, some of them much
larger than Indianapolis, have felt
the necessity of organizing their
solicitation. New York did that and

/ remember the first days of the
Great War. There was not a bel

thusiastic crowds did not parade the
streets to cheer for war In those
days. men did not know what war
meant. Their conception Of it was
formed from pictures of heroic--and

they had no realization of the actual

only saw it in pictures.
But the cheerers of today know
what war means. France lost well
over a million lives in the last fight.
Italy lost 600 600. and there are men

ROME, Sept. Would
America permit a number Of
foreigners to place value of an

for Milan to attend the Grand
Prix automobile races.
Defense of the League of

The interview was MussolinTs

justified.

press which is accusing Italy of i'm.

same arguments President Wilson
used in his message to Congress of
April 90, 1914. He then said the mani

in the facts that such an incident
would grow worse. thus leading to
armed conflict, but that redress such
as Huerta should make would by at.

the incident must not occur again.
That situation was similar to ours.
When, the brigand Pancho Villa

Now, with due proportion in the
situation Identical with that In which
the United States often found them
selves before some republic of Central
America.
There is nothing to warrant the be-
lief Italy has unwarrantedly commit
ted an act of violence against Greece.
For the last 100 years there has been
an Uninterrupted tradition in Italo-
Greek friendship. There was no war
from that for independence in 1921 to
that of 1897 in which some splendid
Italian blood was not shed with that
of Greece.
THE murder of the Italian commits
sioners was not an isolated case. The
atmosphere in which it was commit

years by a bitter and unrelenting
press campaign.
