RED GRS OLLS STAND AT 51 Speed in Membership Re- ports Urged as Campaign Nears End. Red Cross campaign officials today urged volunteer solicitors to speed their membership reports so virtually complete information on the outcome of the drive will be ready when it closes at midnight tomorrow. ‘Total reported enrollment stood at 80,918 after an increase of 2828 members yesterday. Officials said, however, a large number of member- ships probably remained unreported. They were counting on these, plus additional thousands of member- ships today and tomorrow, to carry the drive over the goal of 65,000. Lloyd B. Wilson, general roll call chairman, instructed workers to re- port on their work, even though they have not completed their canvass. It was expected many returns would come in tardily, after the close of the drive, but officials hoped to have enough to report on Saturday morn= ing that the campaign met its objec- tives. Yesterday's returns, although less than Tuesday's, were considered good in view of the fact it was the day be- fore Government pay day. Today's enrollment will be higher unless rain seriously hampers the canvassers, offi- cials predieted. Totals by units were: Government, 35,933; financial, 2,582; utilities, 1,618; professional, 2,587; business, 3,805; residential, 1,600; booths, 1,483, and miscellaneous, 1,079. Gen. Albert Cox, U. S. A, retired, told the Washington Board of Trade last night that the American Red Cross had placed $46,000 at the dis- posal of the State Department to be used in helping American citizens stranded in Spain get back to this country. He said scores already had been returned through this fund. Gen. Cox recounted how the Dis- trict Red Cross Chapter's membership Jumped from 365 in 1905 to 81,034 in 1918. * Russia (Continued Prom First Page.) T College Girls HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Two Madrid planes were shot down during the advance. One plunged in & vivid sheet of flame on the side of a hill just 100 yards from where Gen.

The battle of machine-gun fire could be heard easily. Pilot Plunges to Ground. Suddenly, out of the white blanket, shot & human form. A pilotless plane spun to earth, straight for the com- mand post, crashed on the side of the | hill. Wreckage was tossed for yards | around. Then came the parachute. Pulling desperately on the ropes, the | hapless pilot sought to avoid landing ©n the Fascist command post. But as he reached the 500-foot level two revolver shots cracked out and the man slumped in his straps. “Suicide!” screamed the waiting | Fascists below. The parachute drifted to earth in a wooded, rocky spot and the insurgents started a search. All they found was & blood-stained parachute.

Varela, wrapped in an immense cape, stood at the front lines in a bitter cold wind, gazing across the Alberche River at the re- treating government militiamen. Bridge Is Dynamited. At the river the Fascists found the bridge dynamited and engaged in a bitter machine gun exchange which made even a ditch a welcome refuge at times for war correspondents. The insurgents, after trapping & Madrid force which was misled by & strategic Fascist retreat, sought to *“mop up” this whole sector west of Madrid. At the same time the Fascists pushed toward the capital from the northeast. A column was advancing from Sig- uenza toward Guadalajara, only about 35 miles from Madrid, said Fascist Teports. As the insurgents pressed the ad- wvantage they gained by ambushing the government force east of here, Madrid's fighters took a heavy toll with sniping tactics. The bedraggled Fascists, with ban- dages made from pieces of their shirts to cover their wounds, were somewhat refreshed by a night's sleep @fter yesterday's bitter engagements. — INTERIOR SUNLIGHT ENAMEL OUTSIDE BARRELED SUNLIGHT FLAT WALL FINISH PARTIAL GLOSS Paint 15 only one-third the cosi—use the best!
