The 'army of compassion' says it is moving in the direction of replacing its red-kettle-guarding ground troops -- a tradition since 1891 -- with 'virtual kettles' on the Internet. The charity cites a Target Corp. decision to prohibit bell ringers from its stores this year as part of a trend pushing it online. "
