RED CROSS CAMPAIGN

The Christmas campaign for the
Red Cross among colored people was
successfully conducted. Several hun
dred colored people joined the society.
Popular meetings were held in the
court house, Liberty Hill, A. M. f.
church and the A. M. e. church at
Rcmini.
Two very fine addresses were deliv
cred at the court house meeting by
Rev. p. P. Watson of Columbia. and
Rev. E. H. McGill of Orangcburg. Nc
Gills speech was one of the best de-
livered here at colored gatherings.
1t is thought that McGill will be
the speaker again next Sunday when
the first rally will be given in Liberty
Hill.
Principal I. M. A. Myers spoke for
the Red Cross at Liberty Hill last
Sunday. Frank King and w. E. De-
Lainc also went and a number Of
mebers were enrolled.
Messrs. e. C. Horton, f. P. Bur-
CESS and S. O. O'Bryan addressed
the colored people at Rcmini and the
response to the Red Cross there was
worthy Of note.

"DRY" u. S. RESOLUTION
INTRODUCED IN SENATE
DuItants Measure Would Have Legis-
lature Ratify the Federal
Amendment

Columbia, Jan. 8.-Special: Senator
Charlton DuRant, Of Clarendon, au-
thor of the quart-a-month liquor law,
this afternoon introduced in the Sen
ate joint resolution providing for
a ratification of the national prohibi-
tion amendment, recently passed by
Congress. Representative Victor f.
Rector, Of Darlington, this morning
introduced such resolution in the
House. Senator DuRant's resolution
was referred to the judiciary commit
tee.
A steering committee, composed Of
three Senator'S, was proposed, in a
resolution introduced by Senator j. J.
Evans, of Marlboro. The resolution
cited the need for handling all bills
with the utmost dispatch and the
elimination of all trivial pieces of leg
islation. Senator G.. X. Laney, Of
Chesterfield, vigorously attacked the
resolution on the ground that it would
set a dangerous precedent, and that
the wisdom and patriotism of the
senator's would be relied on to pre-
vent the frittering away Of the Sen
ate's valuable time. "This Senate
doesn't need set of guardians" sails
Senator Laney.
This resolution was carried over for
consideration tomorrow. The Senate
then adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

PRESIDENT WILSON OUTLINES PEACE PR0GRANl
ENFORCED RATIONING
is PROPOSED
Wheatless and Meatless Days Will Be
Made Compulsory if Bill Passes
Congress

! Washington, Jan. 7.-Lcgislation
looking to the compulsory conserva-
tlon of food-possibly system of en-
forced rationing-is being prepared.
Under the proposed legislation
wheatless days, meatless days, as
well as other regulations for food
conservation will be made absolutely
compulsory.
This can be stated on the highest
authority. Voluntary conservation has
failed to produce the quantities of
food desired for movement overseas,
although the campaign for food saw,
ing is being supported loyalty by
hundreds of thousands of persons
throughout the country.
Enemy aliens, it has been learned
by the food administration, have re-
fused deliberately to obey the recon-
mendation to conserve food. They
hav exerted themselves publicly ana
privately to balk the success of the
movement.
Great quantities of wheat, meat,
sugar and fats are required for the
armies abroad. The country is short
OF these basic foods. Proper conser-
walton or regulation of the table for
their elimination whenever possible,
vation or regulation of the table Tor
would aid in great measure, the
, food administration pointed out wnen
1T started the campaign. While the
great majority of families have fallen
IN with the idea warmly and given
support, thousands of others have
failed absolutely, going to the point of
stocking ly wherever possible.
Wheatless and meatless days arc
being observed by voluntary act. Say
ing of sugars and fats has been urged.
Substitution has not been adopted as
widely as the government has wished
With the proper substitution, it is be-
! lleved that fairly satisfactory quan-
tlty of these necessary foods could be
supplied to the armies; but now that
neither conservation nor substitution
has produced the required results,
government officials can see no other
way to obtain the food except by COM
pulsory conservation if not absolute
rationing.
Compulsory conservation as is now
contemplated will. bring the necessary
quantities of food and possibly derer
indefinitely the adoption of compul-
sorry ratiOning of all foods.
The need for more drastic meas
ures was emphasized, officials point
ed out, in the state of Lord Rhondda,
the food administrator Of Great Brit
ain, who said it was demanded in his
country; by the announcement that
France had been compelled to reduce
her bread ration, and by the dis
patches from Italy that the supply of
food to the people has been cut down
so the soldiers may be better fed.

ferences at Paris and London, with

forward and speak word to Mrs.
Wilson.
Applause TumultOus
And the applause was generous
and at times tempestous. AS the full
effect Of what the president was say

the president spoke, operators flashed
forth to every corner of the world the
momentous speech, all cables having
been cleared for the exclusive purpose
of getting the presidents message
abroad in the shortest possible time.
Within several minutes after Mr..
Wilson mounted the rostrum in the
house of representatives at Washing

trail capitals of Europe were tran

"No statesman" the president was
saying at Washington, "who has the
least conception Of his responsibility
ought for a moment to permit himself
to continue this tragical and appalling
outpouring of blood and treasure, un-
less he is sure beyond peradvcnture
of doubt that the objects of the vital
sacrifice are part and parcel Of the
very life of society, and the people for
whom he speaks think them right and
imperative as he does"
Spoke Also for Allies
The president spoke not only for
America, but for the allies. With Col.
House advising him, it is assumed
that he spoke by some kind Of agree
ment, reached at the interallied war
conferences, that there should not
longer be hesitancy about announc-
ing war aims. At all events members
Of the allied diplomatic corps were to-
night enthusiastic over the speech.
Nothing has ever been said that
solidifies so completely the aims of
the nations at war with Germany"
was the way one weighed it's effect.
Pacifists Give Approval
Pacifists in congress joined in the
verdict Of approval for the first
time since they split year ago over
the proposal of arming American mer-
chantmen-before the United States

deal with sedition, prO-Germanism,
espionage and various other obstruc-
tons to the successful conduct Of the
war. 1t was hard fought because it
included a provision granting the ad-
ministratiOn the most drastic powers
to censor the press. This provision
was stricken from the bill after weeks
Of stubborn contest and the bill was
placed on the statute books on
June Is.
The food control bill and the reve-
nue. bills kept congress. or rather the
senate, busy throughout the summer.
Senator Reed of Missouri led a deter
mined fight against the food control
bill, which established Herbert c.
Hoover and DR.. Harry A. Garfield as
the food and fuel administrators Of
the United States. After going
through various processes of amend
ment, the bill was finally passed by
the senate and was signed by the
president on August 10.
The revenue bill calculated TO raise
$500, 600. 600 to defray the war eL-
penses. and reaching TO the pocket OF
every man, woman ond child in the
country, met with bitter opposition
from senator's. who demanded the con-
scription Of wealth to pay for the
war. Weeks Of animated debate
finally resulted in the passage Of the
bill with considerable amendments.
The trading with the enemy act,
one OF the most important Of the war
measures, laying down many princi-
pies to guide the relations Of the
United States with its enemies during
the period Of the war, was passed
without prolonged debate just before
congress adjourned in October.
Aside from the declaration Of war
against Austria, the most important
acts Of congress since reconvening in
December have been the passage Of
the railroad bill, the adoption of the
resolution submitting the national
prohibition question TO the states, and
the series Of Investigations into the
