Although nearly 500,000 more Red Cross Christmas Seals will have to be sold during the five working days now remaining before Christmas in order to dispose of the mini mum" quota alloted Louisville this vear, campaign workers are Dy no means discouraged, but are putting everv ounce of energy they possess into their efforts to arouse Louisville people to a full realization of their patriotic duty in contributing all they can toward the support of the American National Red Cross, 4he Kentucky State Health and Wel fare League, and sun-Tuberculosis Association. Sales reported at campaign headquarters up to last night brought the total sold and reported up to SS7.600. It is estimated that this, with sales made but not reported would increase the total to 1,020,000, leaving a balance of to be sold before the minimum allotment of 51,500,000 Is reached.

UNITED STATES DEPOSITORS' Railroads Object To Wholesale Leaves of Absence. Louisville Men Expected To Enjoy Christmas Fun. OFFICIAL RULING IS MADE TRUCKS NEEDED TO HAUL GIFTS TO SOLDIERS Trucks to haul Christmas gifts to the boys in khaki at Camp Zachary Taylor are needed by the Courier-Journal Camp Zachary Taylor Christmas Cheer Club. The work of hauling the gifts is to be done next Monday morning, starting from the Courier-Journal Building, Third and Green streets, where the gifts are now being assembled. The Cheer Club knows there are enough patriotic and generous citizens of Louisville to insure that trucks will be provided' in sufficient numbers to transport the soldiers' gifts.

Volunteers are called for. Telephone Main 3200 or City 3200 and ask for the Cheer Club Christmas furloughs at Camp Zachary; Taylor will total not more Shan 2,500, it was announced officially yesterday at Dlvlson Headquarters. An earnest protest from representatives of the railroads centering in Louisville against a wholesale issuance of transportation had much to do with the decision of the camp authorities to restrict the granting of furloughs. It was decided to grant leaves of absence up to 5,000 for Christmas and New Year, half of the permits to apply to Christmas and half to New Year. The furloughs will be issued at the rate of 10 per cent, of the total a day for eaoli of five days before Christmas and the Ave days before New Year.

These furloughs go to those men for whom railroad transportation is required. In addition to these there will be a few other absentees from the camp of soldiers who Jive in Louisville or suburban towns close by, but it is believed by the officers -that even the Louisville soldiers will remain at the camp for the Christmas cheer enter tainment Christmas eve. These ex ercises will be concluded in ample time to permit the Louisville soldiers to go to their homes for their family Christmas celebration. The forty negro soldiers at Camp Zachary Taylor will share in the Christmas celebration to the same extent as the white boys. The negroes will have a special barracks for their Christmas tree.

Gifts For Men In Guardhouse. Several inquiries have come to the Courier-Journal in regard to sofdiers in the guardhouse at Camp Zachary Taylor as to whether they would be permitted to receive 'Christmas presents. The question was put up' to Division Headquarters and the information given that the usual restrictions at the guardhouse will be waived at Christmas time to permit the prisoners to receive gifts. Mrs. Howard Camnitz notified the Cheer Club that the Crescent Hill Baptist Sunday-school would con tribute between seventy-five and 100 gifts, made up of sweaters, socks, scarfs, knitted goods of various kinds, comfort bags and home-made cake.

Mrs. Pierce Butler, acting chair man of the Louisville chapter of the Bed Cross, reports that about 1,000 comfort bags, together with bed socks and tobacco, will be sent through the Courier-Journal to the soldiers as Christmas presents from the Red Cross. Work of Bardstown Women. The Woman's Club of Bardstown sent a Christmas package for the sol diers, the money for which was raised by a reception. Many of the gifts were made by the members of the Mrs.

Annie C. Humphreys, president of the organization, writes: "We are sending in your care our Christmas packages for Camp Zaeh-arv Taylor. are sending fifty- eight packages, for 'our It was a mission of both pleasure and sadness, and in spite of the Christmas spirit we could not at times keep back our tears." The company Captains have been told to get together a certain per cent: of their commands and' send them home to-day, it is said; also that Sergeants have been going through the barracks telling some of the recruits to get ready to leave for home at an early date. A nuietus was nut on the men in training here who have 'been writing for publications, tsng. uen.

uarie-ton yesterday announced that the men and officers may write, but their articles must be censored by the di vision intelligence officer. In add! tion to this order a request is issued to society editors asking them not to use in their social column anything about the departure of officers from the camp or their homes to other training stations. It is also forbidden for any mem ber of this command to give any information to newspaper correspondents that will conflict with military regulations. Word telling of the welfare and training of the soldiers here must be taken to the division intelligence office and read to see if the officer there approves of it. Only that news which is thought desirable by the division Intelligence officer will be given to 'the press; all other general information is to do withheld.

A large harvest was reaped yesterday by the Red Cross campaigners who invaded Camp Zachary Taylor. A half a dozen Louisville women braved the elements and plowed -hrough the camp during the day. Misses Agnes Board and Mary Browning English took in the largest amount of money. Regardless of weather conditions during the last two weeks the machine at Camp Zachary Taylor has not been put out of order. Although drilling has been temporarily suspended the officers have been 'ecturing to their commands on miliary tactics.

Bacigalupi by the Board of Public Safety yesterday at the conclusion of his trial on a charge of fighting in -an engine house while on duty. Similar charges agalas-- Braaley Anderson, with whom Bacigalupi had an altercation, were dismissed by the board on the ground that he was not the aggressor and had only acted in self-defense. Both men were assigned to Engine Company No. 16, and the day of the fight Anderson was engaged in keeping the stove in the engine house filled with coal. It was shown by the testimony at the trial yesterday.

Chairman Johnson said, lhat a youag son of Bacigalupi entered the engine house and was requested by Anderson to throw a shovel full of coal in the stove. The boy was instructed by his father not to comply with the request and the two men engaged in an argument. A few minutes later, according to the evidence on the minutes of the' board meeting, Bacigalupi attacked Anderson with a blunt instrument and the latter defended himself. Chairman Johnson said the board decided not to dismiss Bacigalupi from the service, due to the fact that he has a large family, and also that he has been a member of the department for twenty years. He was removed to Engine Company No.
