Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE
United War Work campaign in Ten
nessee is tagging. John e. Edger-
ton, state chairman, issued the fol-
lowing statement today:
aFor the first time since the war
began, Georgia is leading Tennessee
in patriotic campaign. The Crack
ers started out ahead and have in
creased their lead in the southeastern
department every day since the Unit
ed War Work campaign opened Mon
day. We are advised that they are
not only working hard to win the dis
tinction of being the first state in the
South to go over the top but also TO
snatch from the brow o. the Volun-
teer state the laurels woa IN previous
drives. 1t would be most unfortunate
at this late date for Tennessee to be
forced to abdicate the throne OF glo-
ry which it has won for Itself in pre-
yious campaigns.
THE relaxation of generous effort
seems to me manifesting itself more
particularly among those of substan
| tial means from whom the public has
learned to expect large contributions,
while the masses give evidence OF re-
spending literally. 1t is noticeable
that in some of the .argen cities some
are giving 500 and $3.50 who ought
to give 81 900 and 5000 to a cause
SO great and appealing. The low
standard Of generosity from those who
the public expect to lead is having
bad effect in its psychological force
''The people of larger means mus
/ show on the whole a more generous
spirit or our state viii suffer in tnt
loss of reputation and our boys vii

the county is still far behind on its

slow in reporting to rhe county chair
