CISCONTENT IN SOUTHERN
 GERMANY

(From the Frankfurter Zeitung)
 A situation which is already tragic and before long will become desperate has engaged the attention of meet ing at Stuttgart of representatives of the large towns in Southern Germany, where there is an absolute absence of coal.
 The central authorities have re- peatedly been informed of the discon- .ent provoked in Southern Germany by the inconsiderate and, in fact wan ten depletion of food stores in those parts for the use and benefit of Nor thern Germany. If to this discomfort there be now added the bitterness of a treatment by which these peoples are left to shiver in unheated houses while fuel from their own local for ests and other sources is actually be- ng disposed of to the Berliners who can afford to purchase it, there is no saying to what lengths the folk thus driven to bay may go in defense of their rights and to safeguard the lives of their families.

 postponed until the week of May 20th.

 War Fund Fund Campaign eleven months after the first which was car. ried on durisn the week of June 18th 1917. The War Council had heen ap- pointed by President Wilson dvT weeks prior to the start of this first money raisine campaign. and its first great task was to provide means for carrying on the relief work on a scale commensurate with the military op- erations.
