Pointing out that there are Hi.Olio more applications on file than at. the same time last year, General : Bundy, commanding the Fifth Corps | Area which is leading the country in enrollment, expressed the belief that women who are supporting the campaign in earnest this year, are responsible for the increase. Fresh impetus. General Bundy said yesterday, was given the C. M. T. C. movement by a nation wide campaign launched last week by the Daughters of lite American Revolution. Willi 2 400 chieftains located in practically every city in the country, the D. A. R. has notified each of its 160,000 members of her patriotic obligation to enroll at least one young man fer this year's camps.

Camps as "peace insurance,’’ according to the Generul. At their convention recently held in Washington with seventeen women’s patriotic chibs attending, a I commendatory resolution was passed. o Storm Area Rapidly Being Rehabilitated Murphysboro, 111., May 16—The process of permanent rehabilitation | of disaster sufferers in the states of , Illinois, Indiana and Missouri by the ■American Red Cross is rapidly gathering speed, it was announced at Disaster Relief Headquarters here tor day. | In some of tho areas worst stricken more awards for rebuilding were made during the week ending May 11 than in nil previous weeks since the tornado of March 18. This result represents the cumulative effect of steady work by the Red Cross administrative forces which, necessarily de’ayed at. first in concluding the ' emergency relief, have now concentrated every effort in the actual mak- . ing of awards for rebuilding. Substantial progress in the final I closing of cases or in the number of cases ready to be closed is apparent in practically al;l of the 14 areas embracing the entire theatre of operations. With the addition of 314 families during the week, the total registration to date of families suffering loss is 5,336. Os this number 623 have received final awards. Partial awards and ail emergency relief have been extended in all other cases In which emergency need existed. Additional workers are being attached to tlie Red C oss administrative start a« rapidly as they can be released by welfare organizations. Their cooperation with the Red Cross area directors is expected to increase rapidly the number of award cases ready for final disposition. The immense task of caring for the injured following the disaster approaches completion under the direo tion of Dr. William R. Redden of the American Red Cross. The maximum number of 1.140 patients in hospitals immediately following the disaster

han been reduced to 122 on May 11 As a result the number of Red Cross nurses remaining on duty has been reduced from 136 to 25.
