IN GREAT NEED
OF MOTORCARS
First Collection a Big,
Bouncing Success for
Red Cross
THREE TONS GATHERED
What Is Necessary to
Make Paper Saving Fay
MORK automobile owners must
come forward nntl give the use of
their enrs nn iifternoon or nn entire
dny n week, a month or once or twice
durinp the summer.
People who have paper to jxivo
must t.'c it in bundles with stionj?
string in order that the volunteer
collectors mny not lose time.
Newspapers, magazines and loose
paper should be tied in separate
bundles so that they will not come
untied.
The Hoy Scouts, the truck firms
and the automobile owners deserve
the thanks of the Red Cross, the
Evening Ledreu and the men who
will receive medical assistance ns u
result of this campaign. They
worked with great enthusiasm and
determination the two elements
which were necessary to make the
opening day successful.
The I'lilladslphla cety-wlds p.iper-jiini;

on Maturdjy afternoon witit tin- hist collec

Tho one drawback was In the scauity of
automobiles for the collection of the paper.
Tho machines which were on tho toutes
Were able to cover only a little over half
their territory.
As It was. they ccllecttd more llian three
tons and delivered It at the paper houses,
which arc buvliift It With a sutlkimt num.
her of automobiles the total amount could
have been run to nearly ter ton", ho that
the Income wou:d be about $200 U neeins
afo to estimate now that wnen the final
details, of the campaign and the proper sys
tem of collectltiK paper are rompleted the
campaign ill deller to the lted Cross be
tween J:!')0 and $nu n week.
Tho artt.al number of persons ravine
paper and giving It to the Keel t"ros
through the IIvcnino I.nnoEU'K campaign
plan only runs a little more than r,n" Of
courEc. there are a few more than this, ow
ing to the fact that some men. women, boys
and Kir h collected fiom thc:r entire neigh
boi hoods.
'Mom: t'TOMontu:s
' Two tilings must be done to mako the
eampiiBii the big and well-organised affair
It ltoiitd be-
There most be more Hiitnreioblle Indl
vidunl owner must volunteer to rend their
cars for a day or a half d.tv to assist with
the collertloi 'rhls l a Herlous proposi
tion It Is one which should rommand the
approval and support of every cltir.cn
The other Is the demand for co-operat.on
on the pai' nf the ilnnurs of paper All
newnpapern, imicuxlnes nnd loone paper
linuhl he tied In .rpnrnte bundles, strong
trine clioulil be ued. The collectors were
eeriously hampered ovlr.g to the fact tl.ut
many of those ho gave paper had not tied
It In bundles. I wa'i ery dirflcult for the
volunteer aiitolst nnd truck men and the
Boy Scouts to handle the looye ne-v.Miapers
nd magazines, and as u n-sult their work
was much sower th?n !i-ceF"iiy.
f r.ov sroi'TS nni.ri:n
Had It not been for the willingness ol
the Hoy Scouts, two of whom were Witt
ach automobile and truck, to get Into the
harness and do real work, the collection
of paper would not lime l cached any
thing lllte the proportions It did. These
boys willingly went Into cellars hack rooms,
basementn anil other out-of-the-way places
mid scooped up looe paper, loose new pa
pers and loose magazines until their ma
chines were completely loaded Two Hoy
Scouts and the drler of a big Kederal mo
tortruck brought In u load of about I2i'0
pound, at one time. The Vim truck, whlih
also had two scouts, made three trips, ie
moving atout 100i pounds of paper from
the homo of one donor nt tho first.
The Autocar, the Peerless truck and the
Internationa! Harvester Company trucks
weie the first to finish their districts.
Though they had big territories to cover,
they were able to get over, them more
quick!) than some of the others, because
they were not so fortunate as some In run
ning Into laige collections They were also
more fortunate in finding tho paper thy
called for tied In bundles.
On the other hand, the (iarford tiuck
driver and the two Hoy Scouts accompany
ing him brought In two big toads between
10 o'clock and 4 o'clock In the afternoon,
when the warehouses of the papei compa
nies closed, forcing tho collectors to stop
for the day. All of the above-mentioned
trucks were furnished by the agencies sell
lug or manufacturing them In Philadel
phia The drlveis were either paid by tho
truck companies In each case or weio vol
unteer drivers from the works of the truck
companies.
I'l.KA.Sflti: OAK SIJKVlci:
Wi A Taylor, who used his pleasure car.
worked as hard as the truck men He
made four trips In his district, each time
piling every pininji of luper Into the ma
chlno that would stick there. On his last
trip he came to the warehouse with his
Boy Scout holper holding the paper in the
rear of the car It was piled right up to
the top

nicipal force and when we organized our
committee for homo defenbe I told Colonel
Lanard that It would be a gooi1 thing for
the KenclbleB to allow me to ofeer tho or

that can be. You better see Colonel Lanard
and find out all aboi It"

vealed tho fact that Colonel Lanard was at
Atlantic City and could not be located by
telephone.

PHILJUPHIA, MOltfr MAY U, 19X7
ARMY BEL HELD
UF ANOTHER DAY
Conferees Withhold Action
on Roosevelt Amendment
Until Tomorrow
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
What Roosevelt Army Would
Mean in Fact and in Money
ROOSEVELT plan is to take 200,
000 men into France.
It has been estimated by 110 less
an authority than Lord NorthclilTe
thnt each m.tn in this urmy would
cost, apart from his pny, at least
30 per week. Thit would be for
maintenance.
This would mean $10,000,000 u
week for this volunteer army, Koine;
straight to Kuropc without the sea
soning and training which regular
soldiers will have under selective
system.
With 1000 men to a ship it would
take 200 ships working at maximum
to get this Roosevelt urmy upon
French soil.
Lord IS'oithclifTe, writing several
weeks ago in the Saturday Kvening
Post said:
I have read that Colonel Roose
velt would bring several divisions
to Europe. 1 wonder if the cusunl
reader of theso lines realizes what
that means. not as to cost, which
would, of course, J.10 gigantic hut
as to the minuteness of the prep
arations involved?
Lord NorthclilTe then po.nted out
how England lost lives through such
u system because of inclusion of men
medically unlit in units. He also
warned against nil sorts of men rush
ing to the colors indiscriminately
and how these men later hnd to be
collected from scattered parts of Eu
rope because they were engineers,
artificers and mechanics.
