"A defeat for this amendment at this time in Pennsylvania would have serious consequences. It is a 1 matter for the peopl?. They can. manifest their sentiment and'they, can express themselves."

Italians (;o Several Hotter While members of the Hai'risourg Chapter of the lied Cross are aPKed to pay only $1 a year for their mem berships, there is a branch of the Italian Red Cross in the city, the members of which are paying much more—without complaining. The Italian Kerl Cross, to which the ma jority of the Karrisburg Italian resi dents belong, requires dues of 25 cents a month, and this $3 a vear is necessary for the relief of the Italian armies.
