places in France.
These big establishments are used
for the storage and distribution of the
millions Of dollars worth of Red Cross

country at the rate of $4,000 tons a
month. .
Cables announcing the completion of
these stores and detailing some of the

Like Department Store.
The Red Cross calls them ware
houses, but cables that theis contents
are as numerous and as varied as
those OF an American department
store. One of them, in Paris, is so big
that freight cars are run right into
the building and unloaded ..s
1t is to these big stores that the war
knitting you do and the bandages you
roll, are sent direct.
ITO serve the American troops and
the hundreds of war hospitals behind
the French firing line and to reach
the thousands of French refugees,

"A large proportion of these sup.

GOVERNOR WAN rs
HEAR FROM PEOPL {

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 27.--What is
the sentiment Of the people in the
rural districts in regard to the pro-
posed extra session of the legislature
for action on bone dry liquor bills?
This is the question which Governor
Harris would like to have answered to
his satisfaction, now that he has con-
sented to withhold his decision in the
mater for ten days at the request of a
delegation of prohibition leaders who
called on him yesterday.
The governor had given out that he
would announce his decision in the
Sunday papers tomorrow, and it was
generally understood that he would
decide against the issuance of call
for an extra session. When the pro-
hibition delegation waited on him,
Governor Harris made it plain that it
was not his intention to issue the call.
They asked him to postpone the mat
ter ten days, during which time they
would undertake to canvass the senti-
ment Of the state. Governor Harris
then informed the delegation that he
would particularly like to know the
sentiment fthe people in the rural
districts.
DO they regard this as an ex-
traordinary situation?7 was the gov
ernor's query, and the delegation as
sured him that they would take steps
to secure an expression of the general
sentiment Of the country folks.
1t is contended by prohihitionists
who want an extra session that bone
dry" legislation will be impossible un,
der the administration of Hugh NJ
Dorsey, who goes in Office next June
with the new legislature In his cam
paign Mr.. Dorsey pledged himself to
veto any modification of the existing
prohibition laws unless such modifica-
ton had first been submitted to and
approved by the white voters of the
state. This meant, if it had any mean
ing at all, that Governor Elect Dorsey
will stand pat on the present laws and
veto any sort of modification, whether
IN the interest of the interest of the
antis or the prohibition element
Hence the prohibition leaders are
bringing the now or never" argument
to bear upon the governor
