ALCOHOL POISON;
HURTS INSTEAD OF
AIDING WORKERS
Austria and Germany See
Ruin in 1t For Russia; Col
by's Testimony Foolish

Washington, June 24.-Proof is
cambridge Colby and others that al
cohol is necessary to keep shipbuild-
ers steadily at work at top speed.
Henry Ford has been announced to
tell how dry" rules and regulations
have helped the efficiency of his
plant and other witnesses are being
asked to testify along similar lines.
Word comes that Austria. in an
effort to ruin the people of, the
Ukraine by sending them 5000, ,0O0, 900
worth of distilled spirits and with
holding other imports they really
need. This does not look as though
the Austrans felt that alcohol is
necessary to keep up morale.
Russia was dry" until the Bolshe-
vik anarchists concluded in her name
the shameful treaty of peace with
Germany and her Allies at Brest-
Litovsk. The magnificent lighting of
the Russian troops during the first
year of the war, when they pene-
trated far into the dominions of the
two Kaisers eand carried everything
before them in Asia Minor, was
largely attributable to the fact that
their armies were teetotal.
1t is this that the two Kaisers
manifestly have in view in literally
pouring spirituous liquors into Rus
sia. The contribution of Austria
Hungary alone is valued at 1,000,-
100000 kronen. or $20O, 900, 900; that
of Germany. with her infinitely
greater production of wine and beer,
is estimated at treble thSt amount.
They represent the accuIIulatiops of
years. They have been laid up and
preserved in Germany and Austria
Hungary much in the same way as
ammunition.
African Treaty Violated
Germany has always made use of
spirituous liquors in pursuit of con-
quest. 1t may be recalled that a
number of years ago all the great
and small powers. especially those
having possessions in Africa or trade
Herewith, bound themselves by SOL
emn treaty to not only abandon, but
also prevent the importation of spir-
ituous liquors into the Dark Conti-
nent. owing to the terrible ravages
wrought by drink among the natives.
The United States was among the
great powers that adhered to this
understanding.
Germany signed it. But, as usual
with her, she took no account of it's
obligations, treating it as a scrap of
paper. In fact. she took advantage
of the abandonment of this particular
form of trade with the natives by
the other powers to literally deluge
the Dark Continent with the most
poisonous kind of Teuton alcohol,
with the object of destroying the re-
sistance of the natives in their own
colonial spheres and of creating dis
turbances in the colonies of the 9TH
er European powers. In fact. one of
the economic and moral advantages
of the elimination of Germany from
the Dark Continent will be the arrest
of the Kaiser's poisoning PROCESS of
the native: S- means of vile Hun
/, spirits.

LETTER APPEAL
FOR RED CROSS
HUNDREDS OF LETTERS SENT TO
CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY URG-

THIS CAUSE.


Hundreds of letters have been sent
out in the country, as part of the
campaign for the second Red Cross
drive:
AMERICUS, GA. May 18th, 1918
The overwhelming success of the
Liberty Loan Campaign again dem
onstrates the unse'fish disIosition of
cur people as well as their unqualified
p 4tri t;sm, however, til man who
buys Liberty Bond is making 4
;a'ua",s iLvestment from the stan,:
point of dollars and cents, as well as
materially aiding his country.
The Red Cross Campaign, which is
to begin in just few days, appeals
far more to the true patriotism of our
people than the purchase of Liberty
Bonds. Every dollar invested in Red
Cross work goes directly and immed-
iatly to the welfare and comfort OF
the individual soldier, and means
either the saving of his life when
W ounded or sick, or making him as
easy and comfortable as possible
while he fingers. No other provision
has been made for the establishment
OF base hospitals and the installment
and operation of Field Hospitals and

ton of the American Red Cross.
We should not forget that the pres
emit unusual prosperous business con-
ditions were brought about by the
present war, and the large profits we
now make, and the big dividends we
are now paying are being declared at
the cost of the life blood of our own
people It is inlpossibele for those OF
us who remain at home and at our
business to sacrifice in the same pro-
portion with our soldiers who have
given up everything and are now either
at the front or ON their way to the
fl ont
We should not, therefore, feel that
we are doing charity in paying money
in the Red Cross. We should feel suf-
ficiently magnanimous and grateful to
divide our money in this great war
with our soldiers as part of his own
and as the performance of solemn
duty on our part.
The campaign to raise the second
Red Cross Fund begins May the 20th
and the local Committee appeals to
you to do your part in contributing
to the success of this campaign both
with your money and your services.

important branch of our national army.
