TEACE-HE PUNS
OF THE RED CROSS
Statement Made With An
nouncement of $15,000,000
/'Roll Call" Drive.
An outline of the peace-time pro
gram of the American Red Cross was
made yesterday following the an
nouncement of the third roll call, to
be made November 2 to 11, when the
.American people ?ill be asked to renew
their membership for 1920 and con
tribute J15.000.000 for the future
^ork of the organization.
Among Foremost Activities.
Foremost among the activities dur
ing the coming year will be nation
wide activity for the promotion of
public health: a vigorous campaign
for the extension of the country's
nursing resources; the broadening of
lied Cross home service: increased ju
nior Red Cross activities; extension of
Red Cross facilities for emergency
disaster relief: completion of relief
measures for the sufferers from the
war in this country and overseas, and
preparation to fulfill whatever duties
may be laid upon it as the official vol
unteer relief society authorized to as
sist the Army and Navy.
To Guard Public Hen 1th.
? "Public health nursing will be one
nf the important features of this cam
?<aijn," said the announcement. "Red
Cross public health nurses will be as
signed to as many small communities
as possible.
"The Red Cross must hold itself
ready for instant relief service in
time of public disaster, such as great
tires. floods. cyclones, shipwrecks,
earthquakes, pestilence, famine and
epidemics.
"The turning over to the American
Red Cross of the surplus medical and
surgical supplies and supplementary
food stores of the American Army
abroad for distribution among ?the
still suffering native populations, to- ;
iiether with the foreign relief pro- I
?rams still being carried out largely
in Poland, the Balkans and Siberia,
necessitates the continuance of Red
Cross operations overseas.
Will Continue Uilitary Belief.
"Until demobilization is completed,
and after, the Red Cross military re
lief organizations will continue to
function. Thirty thousand service men j
still in the military hospitals, many !
crippled for life, require Red Cross :
Attention. Hospital, canteen and mo- i
tor service must continue.
"Completion of Red Cross work for j
the soldiers disabled in the fighting !
and general assistance to the fighting
men in getting back to civil life is J
Still far off. particularly In the many
and varied phases of home service.
Thousands of families of service men
are still being helped to solve their
problems by this Red Cross activity,
and money relief in this connection
alone Is in excess of $500,000 a month."

PAGEANT AND TABM
AT INDOOR PLAYGROUND
Many Children of Foreign Parent
age Take Fart in the
Novel Program.
Seven hundred children took part in
a pageant at the community center
neighborhood house at Trinity P. E.
Church last night, the program mark
ing the close of the indoor play
ground, which has been conducted
there since the close of the last term
of the public schools. The pageant
was staged in the building at 3d and
C streets and its theme was the
Americanization of the various ele
ments that make up the diversified
population of this country.
The playground is situated In ofle
of the most crowded sections of the
city, and children of Chinese. Japanese.
Greek. Italian, Jewish and Indian
parentage took part in the program.
The big assembly room was deco
rated in the national colors of the
principal nationalities represented.
Many of the children appeared In the
j costumes of their native countries and
: presented folk dances. The final scene
| was entitled "Yankee Doodle Dandy"
! and showed "Miss Columbia" as the
central figure, surrounded by new
"Americans."
The tableaux were originally arranged
by Mrs. M. M. Forester and were pro- I
duced under the direction of Mrs. C. I
D. Schriner, assisted by Mrs. A. Tor
bet, Mrs. G. M. Cherry, Mrs. G. T. H6
man, Miss J. G. White and Mrs. C. W.
George. In addition to the tableaux
there were several numbers given by
Miss Gee Fleinier, violinist; Mrs. Et
tie Alderman, accompanist, and Mrs. j
Lina A. Mewdick, reader.
The playground, which closed last i
risrht, had been in operation daily j
since June 26, and has been of great
benefit to the children and their moth
ers during the summer, the average I
attendance at each session exceeding
700 children.

HUNGARIANS ASK ALLIED
VIEWS AS TO ARCHDUKE
BUDAPKST, August 22,(by the As
sociated Press).?In order to force the
situation, a meeting of representatives
of the different Hungarian parties was
held here yesterday, at which it was
decided to request of the entente gov
ernments direct declarations of their
attitude toward Archduke Joseph and
whether he is persona grata. While
the representations from Paris on this
point have been unequivocal, they
have been couched in diplomatic
terms, apparently affording the arch
duke and his supporters room for eva
sion.
Meantime, the Rumanian propa
ganda continues industriously. The
unfavorable reception of overtures to
ward Joint action with Rumania is so
pronounced in Hungary that the Ru
manian agejits have taken another
tack, pointing out the advantages of
an economic alliance carrying also
some degree of political harmony
along certain lines.
The attitude of Premier Friedrich
in the present situation is another
matter giving the entente representa
tives some concern. He is believed
to be the guiding spirit in the machi
nations and political moves with the
Rumanians, resulting in hindering
negotiations for the establishment of
an acceptable government. There is
now some talk of a directorate form
of government pending the elections,
composed, probably, of three men rep
resenting the leading political ele
ments.

NO GENERAL LEVY IN ITALY.
Government to Restore Finances by
Low Interest Loan.
The Italian government will not
make a general levy on property, but
will obligate Italian citizens residing
within the kingdom to subscribe to a
loan at low interest, the Italian em
bassy was advised yesterday in an
official dispatch from Rome. The
amount each citizen is to subscribe
will be proportionate to his fortune.
"The Italian (fovernment with this
measure." said a statement by the em- .
bassy. "together with certain taxes *?
