NEW YORK, Jan. 81 (ANP)-
Roi Ottley, author of the book,
New World A-Comin" and a war
correspondent who recently re-
turned from covering news on the
European front, is scheduled to
go on to Russia on a similar as
signment.
Comparatively unknown until
the publication of his "New World

award by the Writers War Board,
for his efforts to combat race bias,
Roi Ottley has since that time, re-
ceived worldwide recognition. His

Retirement FROM CAST

CHICAGO, Jan. 81 (ANP)-|
Ending transcontinental tour
which carried them to scores of
cities from California to the mid
west, the cast of "Porgy and Bess,"
the famous Negro folk musical by
George Gershwin, closed the cur
rent phase of their record break
ing revival at South Bend, Ind.
Most of the members of the cast
left for New York City, others scat

for we'll deserved rest from the
strenuous ordeal of road travel.
William Franlin, the new "Por-
gy" this year, a talented singer
from Chicago, won friends and
plaudits wherever the troupe ap-
peared. Franklin, who has ap-
peared in grand opera and numer-
GUS operettas, has not indicated
his immediate plans but will prob
ably appear in new production
soon.
Eta Moten, whose characterize

who charmed "Porgy" set a new

DANES WITHDRAW
FROM WAR FUND

r. A. Marks. campaign chair
man of the Community War Chest,
has been advised by the National
War Fund that, because Denmark
has suffered less from occupation
and liberation operations than was
expected and because other liberat-
ed nations are in graver need, that
country will not seek assistance
from the War Fund after Septem-
Der 30.
Jean Hersholt, pres ent A
America Denmark Relief, who has
recently returned from Denmark,
in a letter to Winthrop W.. Aldrich,
president of the National War
Fund, stated:
after several conferences in Co.
penhagen between the Prime Mini
ster. other government officials
and John Hansen and myself, re-
presenting America Denmark Re
lief. it was decided that Denmark
should not ask for any further help
from National War Fund after the
present fiscal year ending Septem'
Der 30, 1915.
ut was felt that other Liberated
countries were in graver need
than Denmark and that apart
from damage to the Island Of
Dornholm, Denmark. suffered less
during liberation operations thar
expected. The Danish Government
and the Danish people accept, with
thanks and gratitude, the help al
ready supplied throu h the
National War Fund. Citizens Of
Danish descent in this country who
have supported National War Funo
will continue to do so, I am sure. "
Replying to Mr.. Hersholt, Mr.
Aldrich said: ...
1.-The decision of America Den
mark Relief to withdraw from the
National War Fund, in order thai
other liberated peoples may shar>
to a greater extent in the united
generosity of the peoples OF the
United States, is more than gen
erous and timely gesture. 1t is ar
action in keeping with the Danish
character of self-reliance, and II
keeping with the Danish tradition
of neighborliness and goodwill.
Coming at this time, the actor
makes it possible for the Nationa
War Fund to concentrate its relie-
resources still further on areas
which have suffered the creates
devastation, and which to date
have had the least American help
More than $115,o0,oo0 was con
tributed by the American people
last fall to some 10000 community
war chests for the work of the
National War Fund and its mem
Der agencies which include USO
United Seamen's Service, War
prisoners aid and foreign re
lief agencies of the Allied coun'
tries. In October, Community Wal
Chests will again present an ap
peal on behalf of the National Wal
Fund.

New-T ype Flag Holder
Will Be Demonstrated

Demonstration of new-type flag
holder which fits on street light
standards will be made Monday
morning opposite the Chamber OF
Commerce on Front street near
Walnut, it was announced yester-
day by R. A. Dunlea, of the Public
Relations committee of the Com
munity Chest.
According to Dunlea, joint COM
mittee representing the Chest and
the Merchants association recen ~
appeared before the City council to
recommend the installation of these
flag holders by the City along the
white way" area of Front street.
Spokesman for the committee ex-
planned that these holders would
provide permanent means for eff
fective display of flags for all
public occasions, national holi-
days, Christmas decorations, Com
munity Chest and Red Cross cam
paigns. The present method of
setting flag poles in holes in the
sidewalk is not satisfac Glory, Dun
lea said, because the flags are not
displayed effectively and when the
wind is blowing they annoy pedes-
TRANS. Flags hung from the light
standards would be out of the way
of both pedestrians and motor traf
fic.
In taking the matter under con-
sideration, the City Council in
structed the committee to install a
holder and flags as a demonstra-
ton at some prominent location on
Front street, in order to give the
merchants, and the public, an op-
portunity to express their opinion
of the project.
