Because Of the uncertainty Of the
situation at the outset the Red Cross
refraincd from making any appeal TO
the country for funds subsequent to the
appeal issued by President Wilson nim-
self. The organization did not wish to
make another call to the public for
funds until II was seen how the work
already started was coming out.
While the authorities of the organi-
cation here are absolutely non-partisan.
letters were received from many promi-
nent men who serve the Red Cross
which showed that public opinion does
not look with favor upon relief work
in Mexico until the national policy
toward Mexico IL changed.
The Red Cross correspondence showed
that a large element OF public interests
opposed the United States sending food
into Mexico with one hand and arms and
ammunition with the other. Local COM
mittees reported that It did not seem to
them advisable to i~nauguratc active
campaigns for funds under present cir
C~umstances.
Contributions to the Mexican relief
fund have been small. II Is the belief
of responsible persons that IL the Am"ri-
can people are once convinced that the
national Government Ia prepared to un-
dertake the task OF genuine regenera-
ton in Mexico, to stop the ngnting n
lift from the people the armed tyranny
of approximately ! per cent. OF the
population, then they will respond gen
erously.
Responsibility for the relief work
being undertaken by the Red Cross n
month ago rests entirely with the Ad-
ministration. The Red Cross authori-
ties. when consulted, Informed the Presi-
dent and Secretary Bryan that the or
ganization was ready to undertake the
work whenever 4; should suit the policy
of the Government.
1t was made clear at the time. how
ever. that the situation In Mexico prom
Used to present obstacles which the Red
Cross itself would be powerless to over
come. Secretary Bryan at that time
said 1t was the task Of the Government,
TO find n way TO get relief supplies 10
those in distress In Mexico. This the
Administration mas not done.

caused by the abandoning Of
the plan for the summer ercampment Of
the National Guard.
The trouble started In May. IN the
eye of GOV. FEEDERS departure for the
panama-Pacifc Exposition. At that
time the Governor gave out n state
nent in which he said that on account
Of the failure of the last Legislature
IN make a sufficient appropriation 1t
would be impossible to hold the usual
National Guard encampment at Sea Girt
this summer.
About the same time Commissioned
la Monte OF the Banking and Insurance
DEPARTMENT in an interview asserted
that not oSy had the Legislature Grip
pled his department by failing to make
adequate appropriations. but that II had
endangered the safety OF the inmates
OF the State Home for Boys by refusing
TO appropriate money required for a ne
system of steam boilers for heating the
home.
President Edge. Senators Read and
smalley and Speaker Godfrey, Republi-
cans, showed that the appropriations
made for the support Of the government
from November /, 1914. until October
81, 1915. were a by the Legislature
of 1914, and that a shortage was not
the fault of this years Legislature ex-
cept In so far as II had failed or refused
TO make up the deficiency.
Attack siIcnced By Edge.
The President OF the Senate said that
the appropriation made to the Banking
and Insurance Department for the cur
rent year "is some $13.3e5.10 more than
was expended to maintain that branch
OF the government during the year end
ing November /. 1914, and the appro-
priation made available after November
/. 1915, is larger by s6.325.l0 than was
needed to run nat department last
year"
After tins attack had been disposed
" Assemblyman Pierson Of Union
county. who was a membe OF the APP
propriations committee. gave out A
statement in which he declared that any
blame for calling OFF the Sea Girt en-
must be assumed by the Leg
stature OF 1914. which made the appro-
priations for the current fiscal year. but
that there Was in fact no shortage.
Mr.. Pierson asserted that the cost OF
the encampment in 1914. as shown by the
books OF the state Comptroller and the
State Treasurer. was only SI5.22I.O3,
while more than $4,000 was arprOpri-
ated for ,he encampment this year and

campment in 1916.

ant One and citizens of this State must
study it. 1t has not beer solved by
the companies, and the State is not

legislation. The fact hat the in

ton were able to defeat, in the State
Senate of 1915, the recommendations
made by the Fire Insurance Investi-
eating Committee, endorsed by the
Governor and approved by the House
OF Representatives, will not deter the
people of the State from pursuing the
subject to the end. Fire insurance
concerns a large majority Of the pro-

The last report of the Insurance
department shows that the fire in
surance in North Carolina for the
ear ending December 81. 1914
amounted to 2S2,792.5 74.91 and the
premiums paid for this amounted to

he has played in the recent bitter
attacks on the British Secretary OF
State for War, Lord Kitchener. which
have been traced to their source at his
headquarters in France: his Diff
ferences not only with the English

with Generalissimo Joffre and the

above all his persistence in marking
time on the spot without making any
effort to advance, or to assume the

the French and sufficient ammunition
from England-charges which are
without justifcation-have contributed
to bring about a situation so intoler-
