RED CROSS WAR FUND DRIVE SET FOR1 M AY 2Q In order not to detract even slightly from the forthcoming Liberty Loan campaign, the War Council of the American Red Cross ban postponed th6 campaign to raiss the second War Relief fund of $100,000,060 to the week of May 20 from the week of May 6th, ae was originally intended, it was announced in Washington today. This action fixes the date of the second Red Cross campaign eleven months after the ftrBt, which was started on June 18, 1917. The War Council h*?! been appointed by President Wilson only Ave weeks prior to the beginning of this campaign, so that its first great task was to provide means, for carrying on relief work during the war on a scale commensurate with the military operations. More than $100,000,000 was contributed in response to the first call for financial aid and contributions plus interest brought the total receipts from the first drive up to $105,090,527. Of this amount, $17,006,121 was refunded to Red Cross Chapters for local relief work. Of the balance, $77,721,918 has been appropriated, leaving a balance of $10,371,217 available for appropriation. France has received appropriations amounting to more than thirty millions. During the week preceding Christmas the Red Cross conducted a membership drive which resulted in the enrollment of approximately 22,000,000 new members. This was followed last month hv ? n#m. paign conducted by the Junior mem- < l>&rship of the Red Cross which resulted in the enrollment in the collateral < organization of practically all of the ; school children in America.

Philadelphia.?As many millions as nay be needed to win the war will sent to the battle front, Secretary Daniels declared in an address to the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce in behalf of the third Liberty loan. "Lot us not think in terms of fixed numbers/' said the secretary, "Congress has provided the selective draft and when there are enough ships all these men will be on the fields of Franco. If there is not enough men between 21 and .'U t?> win the war, the age limit will be changed an 1 men of 40 and 50, if need be, will respond to the colors. He indicated that he considered it a great mistake to fix the number of the army at three million as had been suggested, because the world would take that as the limit of what Americans could do. This, he said, was far from the spirit of the government which was in the war to the full extent of the resources and manpower of America. Earlier in the day, Secretary Dan-iels speaking to employes Qf {ho League Island Navy Y?V<h psserte?| that the Kaiser's greatest disappointment was tho failure of German spies and German propaganda to jstir up labor trouble \r\ the VnUecLStnt?^ "'Labor in the United Stated tinder- < stands," continued the secretary, "find understands perhaps better than anybody else thot it depends for life and progress and future victories upon overcoming the German autocracy in this war. "And labor is challenging German treachery and German money so successfully that today in most industries labor is turning out more WAr munitions and supplies than ships can transport across the water." He also emphasized to the men. that afrworker's share in the fight was equal to that of the men in the trench es or at sea hnd he praised the navy yard employes for their devotion to the duty. * o ' ^ 'I Catarrh Cannot Be Cured * with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced^ by constitutional conditions, and in order to cure it you must take an internal remedy.
