$500,000 "Dollars for Doughnuts" Campaign Opened Here.

A tall young veteran of the great war in the khaki of the American army walked up to the county building booth of the Salvation Army to-day. A service brisque on his right arm indicated at least six months "over there." On the right sleeve a wound brusque showed why he was not there now. And on his left breast triumphantly shone the croix de guerre. "Dough for doughnuts for the dough- boys?" asked Mrs. Philip Bregstone, in charge of the booth, as she extended the collection tambourine. "You bet!" said the youthful veteran as he dug deep. "I know--believe me--I know. And if everybody knew they'd be handing out money to keep every man in France supplied with doughnuts, pie and coffee." The young man was Sergt. "Cliff" Loucks, son of Policewoman Anna Loucks, recently invalided home after being gassed. Sergt. Clif Tells His Story. Sergt. "Clif" told his story.
