In no case is money being appropri ated for this purpose from the Red Cross war fund of more than a hun dred million dollars, which was re cently contributed by the American people for relief work among the mllitaw and civilian populations of this country and the allied nations, Each of the several thousand Red Cross chapters has raised a special Christmas cheer fund. Thousands of Red Cross workers have preferred to supply the Christ mas packages themselves, working under specific instructions from na tional Red Cross headquarters in their selection of gifts and In the wrapping of the packages, as each package Is to approximate a value of one dollar, the supplying of the 1,750,000 packages virtually means the contribution of the American peo ple of an additional $1,750,000 to Red Cross work. In addition to the packets, the chapters will erect Christmas trees at each cantonment and special enter tainments, such as the singing of carols and moving pictures, will be provided by the chapters In the vicin ity of the encampments.

Those whom chance has made free for action at this time may consider themselves fortunate, for a few days ago one of the most popular services In the country announced that It was ready for 2,000 more re cruits. That service is the naval reserve force of the second naval district lo cated at Newport, R. I. The person al standard of the- men in this branch has been so high that It might be said to be one of the rare organiza tions In which enlisted men, of suffi cient force, education and Intelligence to deserve recognition by a commis sion, find themselves among men similarly placed and similarly denied a oommlsslon by lack of preparation.

Newark, N. J., Pittsburg, Pa., Minneapolis, Minn., and St. Louis, Mo. Information re garding the reserve force may also be had by addressing the enrolling of ficer at Newport. 0. D.
