RED CROSS AND
| GOVERNM EMIT.

"Why doesn't the government dc
it," is a question you sometime heal
concerning the work of the American
Red Cross.
The answer is: because the Red
Cross can do it much better than the
government could"
1t can do it more cheaply. A large
part of the personal service for the
Red Cross are performed by unpaid
volunteers. Chairman Dawson re-
Gently declared that ten million peo-
pie were working for the Red Cross
without raw.
The Red Cross is a much more flexi-
bic agercy than the government can
be 1t had no real organization in
Italy when the Italian armies were
suddenly dislodged and driven back
Ito the Piave last fall. Some thousands
of families in the evacuated territory
fled from their homes. A hurried sum-
mons brought the European chiefs of
the American Red Cross to the scene
with aids. Immediately the Red
Cross was picking up children who had
been separated from their mothers
getting helpless families under shelter,
providing food. Three million dollars
was spent to meet that unforeseen
need
The Red Cross can work in a way
that would be fairly impossible for a
government. For example, every Of
ficer and agent of the French govern
ment will gladly assist the Red Cross
to find and help a mutilated French
soldier or destitute French family
The French government might have
some qualms abclt accepting charity
from the American government No
question of national pride or of poll
tics comes up when the Red Cross is
concerned. Everywhere it is received
without reservation as a friend
The American public subscribed d
hundred million dollars to the Red
Cross last summer. Our government
might easily have appropriated that
sum for the work. 1t would have been
lost in the mass of war appropriations
and meant nothing in particular to
1t would have been merely
so much impersonal, cold-storage mon
ey. AS one-half of one per cent of the
governments total war appropriations
it would have looked meager and life
less. Freely subscribed by the people
tn money is warm with human sympa-
thy. France, Italy, Poland see it not
as a bookkeeping entry made by a ma
chine called the government of the
United States but as the genosity of
fellow creatures. 1t palpably means
that ii us also. The Red Cross can do
t much better than the government

Howard DIighted Over
Deans Decision on Debate

Il am delighted" said Congressman
William Schley Howard Saturday night,
when, returning home from Lawrence
vile, Ga, where he made a campaign
speech, he was informed that H.. H.
Dean had agreed to meet him in Joint
debate at Gainesville and again at some
point in the Fifth congressional dis
trict.
He announced that his committees to
arrange the details of the two debates
would be named without delay and
stated that the names of the committee
men would be given out Monday. 1t is
understood that the personnel of both
has been tentatively determined but
final announcement was withheld on
Saturday night.
Mr.. Dean Saturday appointed a com
mittee, composed of Hiram Gardner, q.
w. Austin and John w. Hammond, IN
represent him in making arrangements
for the second debate, which he sug-
gested be held in Atlanta.
Mr.. Hammond last night declined to
serve. lie announced that he had noti-
fed Mr.. Dean that his position as Al
lanta representative of the Macon Tele-
graph and other Georgia dailies re-
quired him to observe strict neutrality
as between candidates. He said ne
could not act in this capacity for any
candidate, and added that Mr.. Dean
had appointed him without his knowl-
edge or consent

u. S. Transport Had
Close Race Up Coast
With Two Submarines

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June S.-The
story of a transports race up the At
laatic coast, closely hugging the coast,
with darkened lights at night and under
a full pressure of steam, in order to
elude German U-boats which gave chase,
was told here last night by men on
shore leave.
Members of the crew and troops de-
clare that they were warned in ample
time by wireless of the nearness OF
the sea wolves, and were advised to
keep in close to the coast and make all
possible speed to this port. They asked
in return that the ship be met at once
by American destroyers.
Two Of the U-boats were sighted, but
at such q distance that they were not
identified by number, and the race be-
gam 1t lasted for twelve hours, and
although handicapped by running zig
gag course, the transport maintained
her lead, out of reach of a torpedo, until
three American destroyers were sight
ed. The U-boats submerged before me
destroyers appeared, news of their APP
proach evidently having been picked up
by wireless.

DEAN MAKES SPEECH
TO VOTERS OF TROUP
Attacks HardWiCk and Re-
news His. Charges Against
Howard and Harris
Especial Dispatch to The JournaD.

Especial DlSpt1LCn TO ne
LA GRANGE, Ga, June S.-H. h.
Dean, of Gainesville, candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Thomas
w. Hardwick, spoke TO approximately
175 Troup county citizens here today
He came from West Point, where he
spoke last night, and was met by a
delegation of his friends.
The meeting was held in the court
house. The speaker was introduced
by w. 4. Reeves. He was given cor
dial reception.
AS in previous addresses during the
campaign, Mr.. Dean attacked Senator
HardwicIl, Congressman William Schiey
Howard and w. ]. Harris, candidates
for the senate.
Mr. Dean discussed in detail the i'm
portant planks in his platform-immi-
grafton, ownership of railroads and the
records of his opponents.
Foreign immigration was vigorously
opposed by the speaker. He declared
himself in favor of closing the doors
of America to foreign immigration dur
ing the war and for three generations
afterwards. Prohibition of the adj
mission OF Germans, Austrians or Turks
for many years after the war and de-
NAL of citizenship to these foreigner
was favored.
With regard to the future ownership
of the railroads, Mr.. Dean said the
government was confronted with two
problems: First, ownership by corpora
lions under the supervision of the in
terstate commerce commission, and
second, direct ownership and control
by the government There may be an
element of danger in either of the prop
ositions, he said, but he preferred COM
plete government ownership because the
danger of Wall street interests playins
the part of parent would be eliminated
Mr.. Dean discussed his own qualifica-
lions for the United States senate,
stating that he was better equipped than
either of the other candidates to repre-
sent the people of Georgia in the up
per house of congress. The public rec
ords of the other candidates make them
unfit for the senate, he said.
Senator Hardwick was attacked for
being opposed to the principles Of de-
mocracy and for his stand against the ma
tionaI administration. Mr.. Harris did
not act with good faith toward the peo-
pie of Georgia when he urged them to
delay buying coal, causing many to fail
to place their orders until 1t was almost
impossible to secure fuel even at ad-
vanced rates, he said. He deceived the
people into believing he was protecting
their interests and then helped the coal
interests to get higher prices. Mr.. Dean
quoted from correspondence between
Lem B. Jackson, state market bureau
director, and w. ]. Harris, last fall, in
which Mr.. Harris, as member OF the
federal trade commission, advised the
people of Georgia to buy only what coal
they actually needed, and promising
that the prices would go down.
The charge that Mr.. Howard had pur-
chased liquor for campaign purposes
and failed to pay for it, was repeated.
He said the purchase on which Mr..
Howard was sued was made in a memo
randum in his own handwriting.

HOWARDDIDN NOT

las. A. HOLLOMON
Nor Did He Inspire 1t or Have
Any Connection Whatsoever
With 1t, Says Constitutions
Representative

The headquarters of William Schley
Howard, candidate for the United States
senate Saturday afternoon gave to the
press a copy of a letter written by
James a. HolIoman, Washington cor
respondent of the Atlanta Constitution
to George II. Long, MANAGING editor OF
the Macon Telegraph. In this letter
Mr.. Holloman asserts that Mr.. Howard
did not see the much discussed story
about HoHard's interview with The
president, and that he did not inspire
it or have any connection with it in any
way whatsoever. Mr.. Holloman's let.
ter, as given out by Towards head.
quarters, follows:
Atlanta, Ga, June s, 1918.
Mr.. George II. Long, Managing
Editor, Macon Telegraph, Macon,
Ga.
My Dear Mr.. Long: My attention
has been directed to several state
ments in the Telegraph alleging di-
rectly or inferentlally that the
story wired by me from Washington
several weeks ago to the effect that
the president would take no hand
between loyal Democrats as against
Senator Hardwick had been sub
mitted to Mr.. Howard and had his
approval prior to it's dispatch.
L stated in that dispatch, and have
stated subsequently, that the infor-
nation was not secured from Mr..
Howard. You and L are both news
paper men and we know that the
ethics of our profession demand not
only statement of facts in news
stories to the best of our ability
to gather them, but absolute fair
ness to the individuals who are
concerned therein.
Truth is always fair. In the in
terest OF truth, therefore, l want
to emphatically state again to you
that Mr.. Howard did not see the
dispatch referred to prior to it's
publication, nor did he inspire it or
have any connection with it in any
way whatsoever. 7 mean this, too,
in the letter as well as in the spirit.
l secured the information in the
interview from sources which L be-
lieved reliable, and still believe so.
1 did not discuss the matter with
Mr.. Howard, therefore, until after
the article appeared in publication.
L have no interest in the candi-
dacy Of Mr. Howard or Mr.. Any
body Else in this contest except
the defeat of Senator HardWick by
some loyal Georgian. The candi-
dates are all my personal friends
sc far as l know.
I know that you will agree with
me that we should clear up ques-
tions like this as to veracity, and
this is my reason for writing you.
1 am taking the liberty of send
ing a copy of this letter to all the
candidates for the senate.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) JAMES A. HOLLOMAN.
