President Wilson orders all campaigns for army relief raised at one time through a united war chest plan. He asks seven major charities to unite their fundraising during the week starting November 11 to solicit $170.5 million, aiming for a coordinated, race- and religion-neutral effort. The plan, relayed by Raymond Fosdick, emphasizes close cooperation among agencies serving soldiers at home and abroad. The State Tax Commission meets Wednesday to review valuations and a new operating expenses form.
