One Of the biggest civic movements
ever undertaken in Augusta will be
launched in a few weeks, when the
Augusta General hospital campaign to
raise $4,000 for a new wing to accom-
modate the constantly increasing num-
Der of patients is begun.
Announcement of the campaign was
made yesterday afternoon following a
meeting of the directors of the hospital
and friends Of the institution, in the
office of Norman l.. Bassett.
The fact that frequently, in the last
year, every room and cot Of the hospi-
tai has been occupied and it was i'm
Fpossible to admit other patients, was
commented on at the meeting as one
of the reasons for the business like
r,oney raising movement which the di-
rectors decided upon after careful
consideration of the best means to put
the hospital in a position to take care
CT the needs of the injured and i'll OF
the city requiring hospital care.
Thus, it was pointed out by officers
OF the hospital, the response to the
dignifed, business-like appeal to the
citizens Of Augusta to give the funds
nc cessary to provide the imperatively-
Ireeded wing, will satisfy not only the
city's hospital requirements but will
enable Augustans to participate In a
constructive, patriotic effort in case the
local institution is ever called on to
serve as a haven for the boys at the
front.
George z. Macomber, president Of
the hospital presided at the meeting,
al which preliminary plans for the
campaign were made. Mr. Macomber
vas elected chairman of the campaign
executive committee, now being organ

New York, an organization that has
been active in money raising move
m ents in which almost $2O,OOO,0O0 has
been realized for various philanthro-
pies in the last three years alone, has
arrived in Augusta to direct the hos
pital campaign.
Mr.. Smith outlined the method to be
followed in presenting the appeal OF
the hospital to the residents Of Augusta
and its vicinity.
Campaign headquarters have been
opened in the Y. M. c. A. building,
where a staff of typists will begin work
today preparing a card index system
to be used in the appeal. The campaign
will last a week, the volunteer workers
report subscriptions obtained. 1t will
be held early in October.
Mr.. Macomber told those present at
the enthusiastic gathering that the pro-
posed addition will be a three story,
hreproof structure, greatly increasing
the bed area Of the institution and pro-
viding a new operating room. 1t will
be linked with the main structure and
will be heated from the present power
plant.
What other cities have done for
their hospitals" Mr.. Smith said last
night at the Augusta House, where he
is living during his stay here. Angus
Ia certainly can and will do, if the in
terest and enthusiastic cooperation of
the men already enlisted for the move
nent are any criterion"
Mr.. Smith has just ended a cam
paign in Philadelphia in which. with
an objective of $4,000, a total of sS9,-
600 was raised. A recent New England
campaign conducted by the organiza-
ton with which Mr.. Smith is associ-

pital, Pawtucket. r. I. In that cam
paign for one week, s126,920 was OBJ
