It has appointed a commission to negotiate with the provisional government and is formulating a program of conditions which would permit Socialist entry upon representation in the ministry. This follows the council's urging
upon the army st the front the necessity of ceasing to fraternize with the Germans and an appeal to it to resume the offensive against them and thus best serve the cause of general peace. Germans Stiffen Defense. Meanwhile the front In northern France is witnessing a determined resistance by the Germans to any further advances by the British and French, who in their offensive have pushed two points of extreme danger for the German lines. Evidently with heavy reinforcements at their command the German armies in both the Arras and Alsne fields of operations are launching heavy assaults at the points menaced. Thus the British are being attacked around Bullecoiirt and the French along the Chemin-Des-Pames plateau. Attacks Are Repulsed.
At both places the German attacks.

Indeed such a concentration of administrative action in this matter seems to me absolutely necessary and I hereby earnestly call upon those -who can contribute either great sums or small to the alleviation of the suffering and distress which 'must invariably arise out of this Ight for 'humanity and democracy to contribute to the Red Cross. It will be one of the first and most necessary tasks of the new war council of the Red Cross to raise great sums of money for the support of the work to be done, and upon a great scale. I hope that the response to their efforts will be a demonstration of the generosity of America and the power of genuine practical sympathy among our people that will command the admiration of the whole world." Raise Fund for Relief. In view of the above It is necessary to modify the plan outlined in Circular A 29. For the use of the war council. The national finance committee appointed by President Wilson, headed by Cleveland Dodge and Seward Prosper of New York will raise a great Red Cross War Fund through our chapters. Not a moment must be lost in preparing ourselves to meet the pressing calls from Europe and the emergencies which are soon to confront us here. Every chapter should at once mobilize and reinforce Its finance committee for this work which is of the utmost Importance and urgency. Call immediately a meeting of your Executive Committee to make far reaching plans for finance campaign as we look to you confidently for large results. Please telegraph the names of members of your' Finance Committee to Seward Prosser, American Red Cross, Washington, D. C. You will be promptly and fully advised by Mr. Prosser regarding his plans and methods. War Council Is Organizing. The War Council is organizing today. The increasing need among our
allies for supplies that can be furnished quickly only by purchase, as reported by Herbert Hoover, and the inevitable development of home needs as we approach mobilization of vast numbers of American troops make It clear that to meet the unprecedented situation the War Council must ask thr each Chapter retain from the proceeds of the Red Cross War Fund campaign an amount for local needs not in excess of 25 per cent of the total raised ?3liit'JIaBy of our chPte. appreciating the situation will turn over the total amount so raised to the Red Cross War Fund. The War Council, whenever possible with advantage, will
authorize expenditures for specified supplies by the Chapters in their own communities, and particularly for the purchase of materials to be made by the Chapters into - these needed articles."" . ...... The funds as 'raised are" to be deposited by each Chapter in its . local bank in a special account to be known as "The Red Cross War Fund" to be remitted " to National headquarter as required later. The War Council will
take fall account of the needs by Chapters for local civilian relief, which will become greater as our own troop are mobilized. " Please at once call together : your Executive Committee and telegraph me assurances of their co-operation in President Wilson' far-sighted . plans for our Red Crocs.
