PLANS FOR FIGHT.
The Red Cross Seal Commits
sion of South Carolina.--
Plans for Fight Against
Tuberculosis.

Columbia, S. C.-Announcement has
just been made of the organization
of the Red Cross Seal Commission of
South Carolina, with headquarters
in The Union National Bank Build
ing, Columbia.
The National Association for the
study and Prevention of Turbercu-
losis has appointed the commission
the state agent for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals which have
come into such prominence in the
past four or five years as means
of raising money to fight tubercu-
losis, commonly called consump-
ton.
The Commission, which is en-
tirely volun,eer will conduct an
energetic statewide sale of the
seals which are used during the
month of December. These good
health messengers are used on the
backs of letters, packages, menus,
theater programs and any place
where they will stick.
The Commission in it's formal
announcement made it plain that
the sale will be entirely for the
benefit of the campaign against the
white Plague" in South Carolina.
Only ten per cent of the proceeds
is turned over to the American Red
Cross Society to pay for printing
the seals and advertising material
and their distribution to the Vari-
ous state agents.
Last year 100000 was raised in
the United States by the sale of
forty millions of the seals at one
cent each. Considering the esti-
mable purposes for witch the
money is to be used the Commits
jatonfeels justified in elieying that
the men, women, and chill idreno Of
South Carolina VIII join forces and
use at least one million of the seals
during December.
The Commission is perfecting
plans which will embrace the en-
tire state and which will call upon
every community in South Carolina
however small to do its share in
stamping out this disease which
causes ten per cent of all deaths in
the United States each year.
The Commission is composed of
the following men and women:
Mrs. l. G. Ball, DR.. John c. Daw-
son, Mrs. J. N. Visanska, Charles
ton; Mrs. Frank q. Tompkins, Miss
Louly sbani, James H. Fowler,
Reed Smith, DR.. G. Fred Williams,
Columbia; Mrs. H. Z. Sturdivant,
Greenvllle; DR.. L. Rosa H. Can't,
Arch B. Calvert, Spartanburg; DR..
II. A. Mood, Sumter.
The officers of the Commission
are Arch B. Calvert, Chairman;
DR.. John C. Dawson and Miss
Louly Shand, Vice Chairmen; Reed
Smith, Executive Secretary and.
Treasurer.

Washington, July 30.-President Will

public just at present
He has decided on the attitude to
be assumed. But because of reports
reaching him of well organized ef-
fort Of leading Mexicans personally to
reconcile the Huerta and Carranza
elements official announcement of the
scope OF the plan was withheld. These
reports indicate the following situa-
ton:
The economic pressure in Mexico is
80 terrific that President Wilson be-
lieves 1t will of itself force a settle
ment of the internal warfare
The national industries are at a
standstill
Exchange is at prohibitive rates.
Merchants generally are bankrupt.
Great French financiers, who are dom
inant factors in the Mexican financial
world, are demanding reforms. And
they can themselves force Huerta to
make such concessions that all or
ganized revolutionary movements will
fall Of their own weight.
Huerta's Retirement Imperative.
Huerta can bring order out of cha
os almost Immediately by resigning
do hot
of Mexico's big men, any one of
proven executive ability, is named as
his successor. But the price of per-
manent peace in Mexico is the per-
manent retirement of Huerta and his
chief lieutenants.
Leading Mexicans and the agents of
the European financiers in Mexico
City are endeavoring to persuade
Huerta to withdraw. They have sent
the word here that they are hopeful
OF success.
There are more well known Mexi-
cans in Washington today than ever
before. They are here to tell Presi-
dent Wilson of conditions In Mexico.
They have made 1t plain that as a.
final resort American Intervention
might succeed In Mexico. They want
President Wilson to permit time for
the Mexicans to reconcile their own
differences before outside Intervention
Is made.
The hint has been given them that
they will have TO do something. The
hint has come from the administra-
ton that II they permit matters to
