Efforts of the Fort Leavenworth chapter of the Red Cross and its Leavenworth city auxiliary to raise funds with which to carry on their noble undertaking through a minstrel performance at the Lyceum Theatre yesterday, were highly suc- cfssiiu. -approximately jouu realized, a sura which will be the means of relieving much of the distress which now exists in the stricken countries of Europe, and every one who attended either the matinee or mgnt performance experienced no little satisfaction in the knowledge that they had been royally entertained and that the trifling sums expended would be used for a worthy cause. Briefly, the minstrel has put the Red Cross, which only recently was organized, on a "running basis," and the members are convinced from now on they will be able to give an excellent account of themselves. The Red Cross has always been identified with worthy undertakings of charity in this country and abroad, and since the European war was declared has accomplished much for humanity. In all this work those comprising the membership of the local chapter and its auxiliary will be prominently identified in the future.

And now for the minstrel: In the first place the spacious theatre was filled in the afternoon, while for the night performance standing room was at a premium. Total absence of confusion demonstrated the thoroughness in which the arrange- ments had been made. Once started the performance went swimmingly on to the end, and every one of the audience was thoroughly pleased, as demonstrated by liberal applause of the minstrel as a whole and the individual olio numbers which followed.

Tne "middle man," or interlocutor, whose name was Munn, was equal to the occasion and constantly "fed" the "ends" with the necessary chatter to bring out the points of the jokes in the best possible manner. The musical numbers were new to most of those who heard them, and all were well received. That the prison orchestra, which furnished the accompaniments, was responsible for a considerable portion of this success is a certainty. The olio comprised several specialties including an acrobatic act called "A Night in Chinatown," and a sketch, "The Extra Guest." The concluding number was an ensemble, "Plantation Days." The minstrel parade yesterday shortly after noon, and which was headed by the prison band, attracted considerable attention in the down town streets. CARD OF THANKS.

Mrs. A.

Behler of Fort Leavenworth, complained to the police Thursday that she had lost a pocket-book containing $41 in a local store. The "lavish" way in which the two youngsters, who are pupiis at the Morris school, were spending money caused the police tu investigate, so yesterday afternoon they were escorted to the police Etation by Detectives Joe Gorzkie-wicz and Joe Xewsome. It is said that the boys found the pocketbook and when questioned by Chief Shaughnessy is said they admitted "pending considerable of the money. The police have re-rovered only one dcHnr. "Willie and Peter were envied by all the other pupils at the school.

For two days they were "experiencing the thrill that comes only once in a life time." and if a vote of the boys in tb.oir room at the Morris school had been taken both would have been voted "regular fellows," beciiuse they were liberal with their wealth and had their pockets jammed with "cats" at all times. Whenever Willie or Pete wanted en ice cream soda or some candy they would offer a five, ten or twenty dollar bill in payment, and this caused suspicion to rest upon them. The police soon learned of the sudden wealth of both boys and when Mrs. Behler complained the detectives went to the school and i tnolr tbpm into pnstnrlv 0 -i 111.3 mi uu; ua'u promised to make the money good.

Wonderfully poised on a succession hills amid surroundings of great charm, San Francisco is both ira-j pressive and captivating. Although almost. completely anni hilated by the quake and fire of 1906, San Francisco is today a better and more interesting city than ever before. The results which have bppn in so short a' time are not only marvelous, but astonishing, and the, masterful public spirit, so plainly evident on every hand, is proof that San Francisco always expects to wield the scepter of commercial supremacy on the Pacific Coast.

San Francisco will keep open house in 1915, and at the Panama- Pacific International Exposition will entertain the world on a plan that for originality and comprehensiveness has never before been attempted. A study of reconstructed San Francisco with its Golden Gate, its splendid harbor, ocean frontage, wharfs and shipping, parks, markets, military reservations, old missfon, public buildings, unique Chinaiown, historic points and nearby resorts will well repay any one for visiting San Francisco. The winners of The Post's free trips to California will also have the privilege of visiting the "Dream City" (San Diego) and the California Exposition. San DiegO is famed for many tings, but particularly for its great scenic attractiveness and delightful climate. Here in the beautiful Balboa park, in the heart of the city, will be held the Panama California Exposition.

For beauty the exposition here cant be surpassed. Nearby are many points of unusual interest, including the Old Mission (founded in 1769), Old Town (where civilization began in California). Coronado and its. unique Tent City, sandy beaches and enticing little bungalow towns by the score. Only the slightest mention of a very few of the many things of interest to be seen on one of the free trips to be given away by The Post, can be made.
