Red Cross War Fund Drives Vast National Campaign
The Red Cross seeks 190,009,900 dollars to aid sick wounded and homeless as US troops mobilize. New York pledges to raise a quarter of needs and Chicago estimates five to fifteen million, directed by O B Towne who leads nine-state drives. Chapters fund one fourth of their raised totals, aiming for 109,690,090 beyond retained amounts. The effort counters Japan’s larger endowment and funds base hospital supplies and relief work.
