Rebuff of Arm^ | Lassie Rouses ! Blind Soldier PWish to God I Could Sec Salvationists Again!" He Says as Woman in Theatre Tells Girl To Be Gone newsboy Offers Profits Wounded in Hospital Empty Pockets to Speed Drive for Home Service Fund A Salvation Army lassie stood last night in the aisle of a Broadway the? atre where a popular musical comedy is being played. It was just before the curtain was scheduled to rise, and nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar bills mrc being dropped into her collection box at a ra'e that brought a smile to her face. She confronted a modishly dressed vornan walking down the aisle with her escort. "Go 'way from me!" the woman ex? claimed petulantly. "Wherever I go I Biet some Salvation Armv collector. I hope I never see the Salvation Army igain!" As the lassie shrank back in em? barrassment two soldiers in the uni? form of the United States Army came : ?lowly down the aisle. One was blinded, ill eyes having been shot out at Ch?- ; teau Thierry, and his companion was leading him. The blind soldier over? heard the woman's exclamation and i turned toward the sound of her voice. "Madame," he said, "I wish to God I could see the Salvation Army again." The woman blushed and fumbled in her handbag, finally extracting a $5 bill, which she proffered to the lassie. " No," said the Salvation Army girl, quietly and firmly, "the Salvation Army \ does not want your money. You have | forfeited your right to contribute." Newsboy Offers Profits About the time that Colonel Mar- \ ?caret Boville. who witnessed this inci? dent, and Brigadier Richard Griffith, Commander Booth's secretary, and Colonel William Mclntyre, father or | the famous "doughnut girls," reported : the occurrence in the theatre aisle to Salvation Army headquarters, <580 Eifth > Avenue, a clerk there was opening a letter from Curtiss Stappenbeck, a one armed newsboy who runs a stand at the northeast corner of Eighteenth | Street and Third Avenue. It read as follows: "I wish to inform you that you can have the profit of my sale of evening papers on any day this week, and I would like you to send over some help, as I have only one hand. I will assist whomever you send and give you all the profits for your worthy causa." The women's committee immediately assigned a lassie who has seen over? seas service to help Mr. Stappenheck . seil papers to-day, ana the Salvation.: Army hopes that every one who lives?!, anywhere in the vicinity of Eighteenth Street and Third Avenue will buy his paper to-day from Mr. Stappenbeck, Rain Hampers Collections Wednesday's and yesterday's rain was responsible for a serious falling off in the receipts of the Salvation j BELGIAN OFFICIAL WAR RELICS TO BE SOLI) AT PUBLIC SALE AT THE American Art Galleries / ?

Salvation Army Drive In Neiv York Lagging ORIGADIER GENERAL COR ** NELIUS VANDERBILT, chair? man of the Greater New York com? mittee for the Salvation Army home service fund drive, yesterday issued an appeal to the people of the city to increase their contributions, cou? pling his request with the warning that there is danger of the city's quota of $1,500,000 not being realized. He said: "The response of the city to the appeal for the Salvation Army home service fund has been disappointing. The drive has been in progress four days and the total receipts are still considerably less than $500,000. At this rato it readily will be seen that New York City will not reach its quota, $1,500,000, by Monday night ?the end of the drive. To go over the top with the enthusiasm and force worthy of tho great object for which we are working, the city should send in $300,000 a day from now to the end of the drive. Of course the trades committees have only partially reported and we ex? pect their figures effectually to swell our daily collections." Army's street collections. While no real apprehension that New York City will fail to make up its $1,500,000 quota of the national drive for $13, 000,000 for tho army's home service fund, it is conceded that there must be no abatement of effort if the campaign is to prove successful. Among the large contributions yes? terday was one of $5,000 from Mrs. Hamilton McK. Twombly, $1,000 do? nations from Mrs. Cornelius Vander bi It, Mrs. Richard Gambrill, Mrs. Henry C. Frick, Mrs. Henry D. Brook man, Adolph Lewisohn and Fred Lewi sohn, and a gift of $500 from Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting. Dr. George W. Kosmak, 23 East Ninety-third Street, sent in $2S0, resi? due of a fund raised recently to give a testimonial dinner to Dr. Alexander Lambert, colonel in the Army Medical Corps. The New Jersey committee reported $1.000 contributions from Sigmund Eisner, Red Bank; Colonel Lewis S. Thompson, Red Bank, and John A. Roebling, Bernardsville, and one of $500 from Harry Payne Whitney. Theatrical Stars to Aid John Drew, Henrietta Crosman and Isabel Irving will speak in behalf of tho fund at tho Waldorf-Astoria dur? ing the tea hour to-day. The girls of the-Junior League are in charge of the programme. Mrs. Nicholas T. Brady, head of the committee working in theatres and motion picture houses, reports good progress. Wednesday more than $11,000 was netted from this source. To-night tho Argonne players, com? posed of 77th Division soldiers, who are playing an engagement at the Lex? ington Theatre, will give a special per? formance for the benefit of the Home Service Fund. The Mclntyre sisters will be guests of honor. The Rev. Ernest M. Stires, rector of St. Thomas's Episcopal Church, wrote 'yesterday to Brigadier General Cor? nelius Yanderbilt, chairman of the New York City drive committee, assuring him of his parish's interest in the Sal? vation Army's appeal. From noon until 2 p. m. to-day a rally in behalf of the fund will take place on the steps of the United .States Custom House, at Bowling Green. The speakers will include H. Otto Wittpenn, Naval Officer of the Fort; Collector Byron N"wton, Surveyor Thomas E. Rush and Colonel William E. Mclntyre. Wounded Soldiers Contribute Mrs. Sidney E. Borg, chairman of the women's team, lias announced that her : associates collected $42,105 for the first three days of the campaign. Some fifty women of the Motor Corps of America, under Major Helen Bastedo, have rcn ' dered invaluable aid to the workers by 1 providing transportation. Wounded solrliers in General Hos? pital 3R, White Plains, made up a col? lection for the fund yesterday of $318. ; Many of them literally emptied their pockets in contributing. j -_ Court Decides "Ligbtnin' " Is Not a Stolen Play In the United States District Court yesterday Judge Mant?n found for the defendants, Winchell Smith, John L. .

CHAPMAN Red Cross (World League Established All Civilized Nations Except Germany and Her Allies Banded Together in Work .of Human Betterment ? Gen. Henderson Director Chairman H. P. Davison | Makes Announcement on ! Arrival From Europe \ _ i The League of Red Cross Societies is > an established entity. That the civilized nations of the ! world had been banded together by j means of this league, the sole purpose of which is the betterment of the con? dition of the human family, was an- j nounced yesterday by Henry P. Dav- ; ison, former head of the American Red Cross, on his return from a five month tour of Europe, All of the powers now possessing Red Cross organizations with the ex- ; ception of those of Germany and her allies, have been invited to join the. new league and not one has declined. The countries invited are: Australia, i Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chili, China, ! Cuba, Denmark, Greece, Holland, India, Now Zealand, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Roumania, Serbia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Uruguay, Venezu- j ela, Argentine. ?In the phraseology of Mr. Davison, tho new league ?3 to serve as a clear? ing house for the best scientific in? formation, for the maintenance of health and the improvement of tho condition of man. It is planned to inform the headquarters of the league, at Geneva, Switzerland, of every scien? tific discovery for the treatment of : human ailments, particularly, the dis- ' eases that may become epidemic, and i distribute the knowledge thus collected throughout the world through the Red j Cross members. Moreover, the Red Cross now has powerful organizations in every corner i of the world, thus making it. possible ! for neighboring nations to render im? mediate and efficient help at any time a disaster demands heroic measures. Heretofore the American Red Cross has borne the brunt of organization and the maintenance of temporary re? lief stations in every part of the world when such emergencies arose. The league was organized and worked : out in detail at meetings recently held ; in Paris. Representatives of the Red Cross organizations from the United States, Great. Britain, France, Italy and l Japan were the founders of the new ? international body. In this way it is patterned after the league of nations. ? Headquarters were opened in Geneva ; immediately after the signing of the ! articles of the association in Paris on May 5. Mr. Davison, who originated the plan for the league, was made chair? man of its board of trustees. Lieuten- : ant General Sir David Henderson, whose constructive work in the organi? zation of British industries during the war is credited with accomplishing much for the Allies, was named as its director general. First hand evidence of the necessity ! for some great world organiaztion to meet the present demand for relief agencies, was found by Mr. Davison on his recent tour of Europe. Distress \ caused by hunger, epidemics and lack of the necessities of life in Poland, the Balkans and Russia, he said, was bo great as to be indescribable. "The average American has no con? ception of the suffering that is an everyday occurrence among millions of people there," he said. "Men, women and children whose vitality has been lowered to a point where they cannot resist disease still are without the very simplest requirements of life. Red Cross bandages are wrapped about men's legs to take the place of trous? ers. Garments are almost unknown to millions of people." -? Reorganization of Yale Corporation Predicted Agitation Begun Among the Alumni to Change tbe Sys? tern of Selection NEW HAVEN, May 22.?Agitation has begun in Yale University alumni circles which, it is believed, will re suit in the complete reorganization of the system by which members of the Yale Corporation, Hoard of Trustees, is selected. The move is directly due to the resignation from the corporation of the Rev. Dr. Edwin P. Parker, of Hartford, who, when he quit the body, urged that trustees should be selected on a basis "of equality and in accordance with the ideas and spirit or tho present day." Under the present system six of the fifteen members of the corporation are elected by the alumni and the others are appointed by the corporation itself. They are thus self-perpetuating and in the past the nine have been ministers. On the new board, however, there are only four clergymen. Dr. Parker opposes the perpetual sys? tem. He believes, it is said, and is supported by many members of the corporation and tho alumni, that all members of the board of trustees should be elected for a definite term of office. As a result of this fsuggos-rion steps will be taken toward amending the charter of Vale University through legislative action based on a recom? mendation by the corporation itself. Methodists on Finish Of $140,000,000 Drive The Methodist Episcopal Church is coming into the stretch in its driva to : raise $140,000,000 for its centenary. Of this amount $90,673,197 has been raised. The New York area, with n quota of $7,017,305, has pledged thus far $?,086,000. 'ihe northern church has subscribed $70,293,197 on a quota of $105,000,600 and the southern, (125,380,000 on a quota of $35,000,000. ('liarles S. Ward, director general, yesterday appealed to the city to put its quota over tho top. "After tho uniformly fine record of thi? city in ?upport of all war causes," h? said, "I ?m sum New Yorkers will not full to do their whole part in this great, church enterprise, the object j of which is to tnka advantage of tho present remarkabl? opportunity to 1 rai?e civilization to * higher level," Belgian Singer Married To War Mission Member Miss Tavie Beige Becomes Bride of Mar?chal des Logis E. P. Hendriekx Miss Tavie Beige, Belgian singer and actress, was married yesterday morn? ing in the Belgian Church, 431 West 47th Street, to Mar?chal des Log-'s E. P. Hendrickx, secretary to th? Belgian war mission to the United States. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Joseph' Stillemans, and a reception and wedding breakfast -followed at the Hotel Algonquin, where the bridegroom has made his home. Colonel Leon Os tcrrieth, chief of the Belgian war mis? sion, and James Whiteley, Belgian Consul at Baltimore, were in attend? ance. Mr. and Mrs. Hendrickx were school? mates in Antwerp. Both were inter? ested in music, and the bride had at? tained the position of prima donna at the Royal Opera House, Antwerp, be? fore the Germans invaded Belgium. She was forced to flee from Antwerp by the invasion, and came to this coun? try with other refugees. She sang in cantonments and hospitals for a time before she was engaged for the princi? pal r?le in "Fiddlers Three," a musical comedy now playing in Philadelphia. Mr. Hendrickx joined the Belgian army and foupht through tho first years until wounded. After being in? valided he was appointed to the Bel? gian mission and sent to this country. Neither knew that the other was in the United States until they chanced to meet recently at tho Grand Central subway station. ? ? ?

Usually when you axe interested in two tlungs, you like to get them together." Without wasting any words about it. this is how Miss Clara Porter, who sells bonds for the Guaranty Trust Com? pany, sums up her work within the compass of two sentences. Siie i. -:". gularly successful in effecting Cuis combination of bonds and people, ami believes that the most stimulating thing in the world is to stage a regu? lar coup in 'salesmanship. "I like my small investors just as well as my big ones," declares Mi s Porter. "It is astonishing how sub? scribing to Victory Loans has stimu? lated a domand for bonds in general. Women who never invested 1?., fore keep ringing me up t0 ask for advice. A great deal of judgment has to be used in giving it. "There is~no reason why women should not be as successful as men m this work. 1 have found no sex preju? dice in any quarter and the competi? tion is just as keen as between- man and man.
