?We ?re not done," said William C. I
n*ed chairman of the drive. "We
?3 not be done until Monday night.
E. ought to keep $30,000,000 in,our;
?inds as our task." And, as if to prop- ?
S7 climax their efforts, the largest i
Lition of the campaign was an- j
-ounced. The presentation, made by ?
John D. Rockefeller, jr., in be'.al? of |
?se foundation, gave the assemblage a !
?hrill. Mr. Rockefeller said:
' _r.'$t year the Rockefeller Founda
uon contributed $5,000,000 to the Red
fro? campaign, which was a part of
?be total amount it pledged to war en
'rtpri-es during the year, about $11,
#0,000 in round figures. Since the an
niu'l income of the foundation is about !
^6500,000, the greater part of which is
already pledged to the support of vari
<?3_ enterprises educational, health,?
etc.?it was able to make these war ap?
propriations only by infringing upon
its principal to the extent of $5,000.000 i
ai by reason?, f the generosity of its ?
founder, who placed $5,500,000 addi- '
??nal funds in its hands.
"The contribution which the Found?- i
tion has voted to make is considerably j
ii excess of the amount which its re- ;
?arces for the current year would
jastify, and it made only by a gift
from the founder to cover the excess
?aount."
During the luncheon Governor Whit

i few encouraging remarks in behalf

Swann on Alert
For Swindlers in
Red Cross Guise
District Attorney Swann sent two!
detectives and a process server out?
yesterday to get evidence against un- ?
authorized collectors for the Red !
Cross. His men stopped forty girls whol
were collecting in the neighborhoods
of Broadway and Fifth Avenue at
Forty-second Street, and up Broadway
as far as West 110th Street. The young j
?women were stopping automobiles and.
asking the occupants to contribute.
"No arrests were made," said Mr. I
Swann, "because we found no way of;
checking up from any central source ?
in the Red Cross as to who was so-'
lieitiiyj for the fund."
When the situation was brought to]
the attention of the Red Cross, Walter i
I. Stapler, chairman of the House to:
House Canvass Committee, through J. '
: W. Murray, his assistant, asked the i
I District Attorney to give notice to the j
?public that all authorized collectors!
in the streets and at the doors ofj
homes should have a round celluloid]
badge and an identification card. In j
, addition they .should have a white, |
! square pasteboard box with small red
I crosses on it.
Air. 'Swann's men also picked up a
sixteen-year-old drummer boy in a uni?
form of the 9th Coast Artillery at Times
, Square late Thursday night. Mr. Swann
; said he found that the boy was collect
i ing for his mother, who was a Red
Cross district captain in Corona, Long
Island, and also learned that the Co?
rona organization had stationed col?
lectors in the -Grand Central Station.
He notified Mr. Stabler, and the latter
, sent Mr. Murray to the Grand Central
i to notify the women politely that they
! .should return to Corona and confine
; their collections to that district.
Mr. Murray found M. J. Howe in
i charge of the? women. When he stated
? the object off his visit Mr. Howe be
? came angry and had Mr. Murray arrest
I ed. The affair attracted a big crowd
in the station concourse, and Mr. Mur
\ ray decided to go to the East Fifty
? first Street police station Defore at
: tempting to prove his identity, which
i he quickly did to the satisfaction of
I Captain Duggan of the precinct. Later
i Howe mude profuse apologies to Mr.
Murray.
The case of the . ?xteen-year-old
; drummer boy aroused Mr. Swann. He
said the boy admitted he had collected
i $25, but his mother said he had turned
', ?n only $13
"This boy in uniform was a hand
! some fellow," said Mr. Swann. "He
! admitted that on the advice of some
: .oldiers at Fort Slocum he had picked :
; up considerable money by steering sol
! diera to men who prey on women in
the Tenderloin.
Mr. Swann said he had just learned
! that the British and French govern
'?? monts had issued orders forbidding
i Canadian or French soldiers to collect
! money directly or indirectly for Ameri- i
? can war charities He said he also
! learned that the Motion Picture and
j Allied Theatrical team of Red Cross
! canvassers had been using New York
j militiamen to go about with actresses
, collecting money in theatres and res
1 taurants.
Mr. Swann asked William Fox, liead
i of that team, to atop this practice.
j Mr. Fox said he had been advised by
j James E. MacBride, Civil Service Com
I nissioner, that the practice was legal,
i and he declined to comply. <
Mr. Swann then took the matter up
with William C. Breed, head of the
New York division of the Red Cross
war driv?, declaring that the action of
these actresses and militiamen tended
; to offend good taste by their behavior
; in some restaurants and. that the idea
j of using them to load the public to
i believe the men in uniform were regu
; lar soldiers was. "acting a lie" and
j tended "to harm the cause."
I Mr. Breed told Mr. Swann that he
would investigate.
Child's Ring Brings Tears
And Dollars to Red Cross
"Lambs" Sell Watches, Canes, Books and Pictures by
Auction and Collect Approximately $3,000
on Public Library Steps
Tears which netted the Red Cross
dollars," Liberty bonds sold and resold,
serious comedians and smiling trage
dtans were the features- of "Lambs'
Day" yesterday on the "Liberty The?
atre" stage, at the Public Library,
under the auspices of the Stage Wom?
en's War Relief Society.
The members of the Lambs used
their whole bag of tricks, with the
result that the crowd contributed
approximately $a,000. ,
Money was not the highwater mark
of their contributions. Pictures, books,
autographed by the authors; watches,
silver-topped canes and a diamond rin^
were parsed to liiv actors to ho auc?
tioned for the Red CfOSS.
Little Girl Offers Ring
But it was a plain silver ring which
brought the highest bid and which al
but stopped traffic jn t'nc avenue. Thi
ring was offered to .1?re Austin, of th<
Goldwyn Film Company, by fourteen
year-old Elizabeth Draper. 100 Has
Thirty-third Street, who explained t<
him tearfully that it had been sent ti
tier by her brother in France.
The little girl was lifted to a chai
and the bidding, which started at $_
quickly advanced as the crowd noticei
her tears.
"Thij is no fake sentiment," picad.
Mr. Mordant. ''Think what a sacrifie
it is for this child to give up he
! brother's ring, mid then dig down" into
your hearts and give all you can."
The ring went to Miss Grace George
for $01. and the vanquished bidders
contributed $12 so that the child could
write the brother over there all about
it. The. little girl declined Mis-.
George's offer to return the ring.
One of the humorous incident? was
the? offer of a mysterious picture
swathed in brown paper and inscribed:
"Do not tell the name of the giver and
do not unwrap."
Mystery Picture I? Perahing
R. K. Low. 20 East Forty-second
Street, beamed when the picture went
to him for $25. While he was unwrap?
ping it. some cue suggested thnt it
"might be a picture of the Kaiser.'
Mr. Low let i im picture drop, but fi?
nally, amid great applause, held, ot
high a crayon sketch of (?enera
Pcrshing.
Among those who aided in makin??
the day a success were:

politan for Italy-Ameri?
can Concert
The .Metropolitan Opera House has
never held either a larger or a more
distinguished audience than the one

gala concert of the Italy-America So?
ciety. The concert was given under
the direction of Giulio Gatta-Casazza
and the principal artists of the opera
company took part. I

Mr. Papi in the conductor's stand, this ?
being followed by Miss Claudio Muzio's
singing of the Ballatella from "Pag
Ijacci," and Giuseppe De Luca, who
gave "Largo al factotum" with his ac- '
customed brilliancy.
The first part of the programme
closed with the appearance of Enrico
Caruso, who sang "Una furtiva La?
grima" as only the demigods of song
can sing.
The second part opened with singing j
by the Metropolitan chorus under the
direction of Giulio Setti of the "Hymn
of Garibaldi," "The Battle Hymn of
the Republic," "La Marseillaise" and
"God Save the King." Mme. Frances
Alda then sang to arias from "Manon
Lescaut." Pasquate Amato "Eri tu,"
and, owing to the indisposition of Miss
Anna Case. Mme. Alda sang "Un bel di." I
Enrico Caruso*and Antonio Scotti
followed this by the great duet from
"Forza del De.tino," which received tu?
multuous applause. The evening closed
with the singing by the chorus of the
Mameli hymn.
Thrift Poster Contest
For Children Ended
Examination was completed last
night of the thousands of war savings
j posters by New York school children
in the national poster contest, which

chosen by the state jury as the best
will be sent to Springfield, Mass.,
' where the examin?is for the Eastern
states meet next week.
The competition is divided into three
, classes?art schools, high schools and

the prizes will be war stamps.
The schools of eighty-live cities in
New York State submitted entries un
' der the direction of J. Winthrop An?
drews, art director in the Yonkers
public schools.
The school children of New York are
vying with one another in selling war

Jacob Wertheim to the schools selling
the most. Last night, it was announced
that, the children had sold $2,369,956
worth of stamps up to May 17, not
counting pledges and orders yet t? be
filled. The competition closes May 31.
Fines to Go to Red Cross
Magistrate M'cQuade, in 'the Tombs
court, boosted the Red Cross drive yes?
terday by advising twenty prisoners,
found guilty of offences to which a
tine is attached, to step over to the de?
tention pen, where they met a Red
Cross collector, Miss Fannv V. Koenig,
daughter of Samuel S. Koenig.
Instead of paying the fries, which
Magistrate McQuade had suspended, the
offenders paid the equivalent to Miss
; Koenig. In this way $75 was raised.
Magistrate McQuade said he wished the
other magistrates of the city would
follow his example. Most of the pris?
oners who contributed had violated cor?
porations ordinances, and the fines
1 ranged from $3 to $5.

Winning the War
Is Only Issue Now,.
Says Will H. Hays
No Time for Politic?, De?
clares Republican Leader
at Red Cross Rally
Will II. Hoys, chairman of the Re?
publican National Committee, was the
principal speaker at the Red Cross
meeting, held at the New York City
College auditorium last night. He de?
clared this was no time to think or
, talk politics; that the one vital issue
this country now had to face whs win
? ning the war.
After declaring that there must he
industrial peace and that the 1. W.
W.'s if they sought to foment trouble
should be treat'e? as traitors and stood
up against a wall and shot, the
speaker (old his hearers some tales of'
German atrocities as they had been re?
lated to him by friends returned from
the front. The Red Cross, he said, was
the one great humanizing element in
the whole world at present.
i A vivid story of just what Red Cross
aiil means to the lighting man was
! told by Sergeant II. M. Radermncher,
of the first Canadian contingent. He
1 served three years and live days in the
trenches of Flanders.
Chairman Hays said in part:
Mr. Hays roused Jus audience when
! he said that there never had been a
moment since August. 1914. when it
: vas not inevitable that the United
States would enter the war.
"The trampling upon American
i rights by the Imperial German govern
I ment was an expected step in the pro
? ceedings," he continued, ''and we have
; gone to France to light because the
' battle is there to be fought on French
' soil first, and if not fought and won
j there it will have to ?>e fought and
won here. The world has become too
' small for autocracy and democracy to
: live together, and one has to die."
Mr. Hays describes atrocities perpe
! trated by the German soldiers on peo
; pie he knew. One case was that of a
j Red Cross nurse, both of whose hands
i were cut oft* by German soldiers, and
i the other that* of two little Belgian
girls, one fourteen and the other fif?
teen, who are now being cared for by
friends of his in Indiana, not far from
his home.
"These girls?mere children-under?
sized and with the horrors of what
they have been through pictured on
their faces are just here from Bel?
gium,'-' continued Mr. Hays. "German
I soldiers went through their town. And
the two children are pregnant. That
1 is what we are fighting to stop, and we
j will fight until we make certain that
j this kind of business cannot go on in
! God Almighty's world. And -Ave will
? continue to fight until victorious
! American arms have forever ended the
\ intolerable arrogance of that scien
l titically trained brutality. We will
! have peace, but only a peace by victory
j and never a peace by bargaining."
He said there must be industrial
peace so that every atom of brain and
! ounce of brawn will go where needed
i most\to help the commo? cause. Those
! who resort to sabotage, whether I. W.
i W.'s, or not, who go about seeking
j whom and what they can destroy,
I should be tried and stood up against
? a wall and shot.

j Mgr. Cornelius G. O'Keeffe
? HIGHLAND FALLS, N. Y., May 24.?
Monsignor Cornelius G. O'Keeffe, who
was secretary in the conclave which
elected the late Pope Leo?, and aside

eight years old. For twenty-seven
years he had been rector of the Church
of the. Sacred Heart here, and of St.
Mary's at West Point. He was one of
