VICTOR VICTROLAS ¥ THE OLDEST RIGJH.L':L VICTOR DEALERS INNEW ENGLAND The Store of Victor Service Supreme Main St. Norwich, Conn. XVI-$225.00 AND VICTOR RECORDS While the keynote of the second campaign for Red Cross war funds was sounded in the masgnificent war rally held under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus, in the Town hall on Monday evening, the actual work of the drive will not be inaug- urated until Saturday night when the campaign parade which-has been ar- ranged under the direction of Mrs. Edmund W. Perkins, will take up its line of march through the principal streets of the city. The arrangements of the parade, which are more comprehensive than for any similar event that has taken place in Norwich for years, represent untiring work on the part of the chairman, Mrs. Edmund W. Perkin: who is in charge of this feature of the campaign work and her efficient corps of assistants. With favorable weather conditions, and the full co- cperation of the different units that are to participate, it is the belief of the general commit‘ze that no Sat- urday evening the Red Cross cam- paign for war funds will be fairly launched on its voyage of merty which leads to its port of destination, “over the top.” Formation of Parade.

Mothers With Service Flags. One feature of the parade that will stand out prominently in the forma- tion, will be the divison which con- tains those heroic mothers of Nor- wich, each one carrying a service flag, thereby making one more sac- rifice for the preservation of Amer- ican liberties and by their presence in’ the parade inspiring evervone to do their part in this great war work. The committee in charge of the dem- onstration requests every woman with a service flaz to be at the Buck- ingham Memorial on Saturday eves ing at 6.30, with their service fli prepared to participate in the parade. It is also the wish of the committees that every Red Cross worker should meet at headquarters at 6.20 on Sat- urday evening, to take part in the parade, and if possible furnish her own cap and apron. Chairman Learned Optimistic. Eben Learned, general chairman in on lieve that we have the most effective organization to earry on the work of the drive that has ever been formed for a movement of this character. Every chairman and every commit- tee has worked enthusiastically to complete the plan of campaign and we will start on Monday morning with A feeling of confidence that our ef- forts will be successful.” Continuing Chairman Learned said: “The American Red Cross must raise another $100,000,000 to keep its work of world-wide relief at the splendid standard maintained in the past year. It purposes to get the money within a week, from May 20th to May 27th inclusive and it is going to ask Norwich to give $40,600. More Contributors Expected. “In the first war fund subseription a year ago, the amount contributed by this city came from a compara- tively smail number of contributors. The fine sincerity of this community’s offering at that time was manifested by the fact that there was practically no repudiation of pledges. Since the first money campaign there has been a remarkably successful membership campaign, bringing the membership of the chapter up to more than 9,000. On this account it is expected the Second war fund will be taken up more generally than was the first: that it will represent the offerings of many more hundreds of contributors in this territory and that, 1 PEN RED CROSS CAWPAIG PromhnhBeOneofflulmNorwichHuSeen-_— Marines and Band Coming From Submarine Base — Many Women Will Be In Line—Mothers With Service Flags to Be Feature — Major O.

The total sum appropriat- ed up to March 1 for the relief ex- tended to thirteen nations or terri- torial divisions of nations was $55,- 915,508.65. The information service of the Red Cross sketches briefly the accomplish- ments made possible by this great sum. Base hospitals and ambulance companies have been organized and outfitted. Nurses for service in the army and navy medical corps have been recruited and trained. All ma- terials needed for hospital work and sanitary service have been provided. The dependent families of soldiers and sailors have been cared for. T'roops en route have been refreshed. American prisoners in foreign coun- tries have been fed. Vast relief work has been started in France, Belgium, Italy and elsewhere for the civilian sufferers. Great problems arising almost daily have been studied by experts. Mothers Our Soldiers Abroad, “And this,” said the campaign chairman, “should be the most con- soling thought to those mothers who have sons doing service overseas. Abroad the Red Cross is proving to be the greatest mother in the world. Its representatives keep in close touch with wounded soldiers, minis- tering to them and supplying infor- mation to their families. It is the only medium of communication be- tween American prisoners in Ger- many and their relatives at home. It supplies twenty pounds of food ev- ery three weeks to every American prisoner. Fifty thousand children in France are being mothered by the organization. “It is fighting German poison gas, tuberculosis and misery and disease of every nature. It purposes to es- tablish 300 dispensaries in France. Tt plans to build an agricultural train- ing school where mutilated soldiers can be taught to work. It has or- ganized fifty base hospitals and for- ty-five ambulance companies of 124 men each. It has put 18,000 trained nurses into Service. “Here in the United States it main- tains 500 canteens at railroad and embarkation points, and its canteens abroad have performed notable ser- vice. Nothing is too big or too triv- ial in the wav of war relief or of suc- cor to the unfortunate to be unwor- thy its attention. “But all of this has cost a great sum and will cost more. The first $100,000,000 soon will he exhausted. The programme must go on indefi- nitely. Therefore Red Cross. in perfect confidence that its appeal. will not be slighted, asks for another $100,000,000 and compliments- the na- tion by assuming that the amount can be raised within a week.” SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Are Doing In Various Branches of What Eastern Connecticut Boys the Service.

And I want to do my best and make good, and I am going to if I live. We go on a long hike in the morning. We start- ed to go ashore at 7.30 p. m. tonight, but they stopped us.
