Red Cross quota Increases

Last week the officers in charge
of the Red Cross Hundred Million
Dollar campaign received notice
that it would be necessary to in
crease the quota at least 25 per
cent as the needs for more money
are so imperative that the amount
first asked will not be sufficient
for the time it was planned for.
Our army is being rapidly increas-
ed. Soldiers are being sent over to
France as rapidly as ships can be
supplied to transport them. Pro-
badly at least 100000 per month
are now going over and it is init
mated that over 100000 men
will be in France within a few
months now. The money we give
to the Red Cross organization is
doing more good than any other
funds supplied. 1t only takes such
donations as we can all give to
supply the needed funds. A few
more days remain of the time set
for this drive. If you have not al
ready made your donation, do so
at once so that this campaign can
be closed and the money available
now. If you cannot give the entire
amount of cash you desire TO con-
tribute make your pledge payable
in four monthly installments, and
so do your share. Pledge cards are
to be found with the committees
in each precinct. The campaign
started off with a rush in most
precincts and we hope to. see the
quota greatly oversubscribed in
the county.

Vorwaerts In Protest.

Three years later, August 26, 1917 the vorwaerts quoted the following passage from the Deutsche Tageszei. tung:
 We have a ring of politicians who hold that might makes right (Macht' politiker), who despise the forces of the inner life and believe that they must eliminate all ethical points of view from foreign and social politics. For them, Germany of the present and of the future is the cOun- try of the Krupps and Borsigs, of the Zeppelins and the U-boats. Any idea of a connection between politics and morals is rejected and any reference to the right of moral method of con- sideratIon Is ridIculed as delusion and sentimentality."
 The German officers were provided with the forms to be used in terror lzing the conquered people. The com mon soldiers were provided with phrase books which would enable them to impose their will upon the terrified people. Minister Brand Whitlock in his report to the stnte department on september 12, 1917, writes:
 "The German soldiers were prOvld- ed with phrase books giving alternate translation in German and French Of such sentences as:
 "'Hands up.' Qt Is the very first sentence in the bOOk.)
 "Carry out all the furniture.
 "T am thirsty. Bring me some beer, gin, rum.
 "'YOu have to supply barrel ot wine and q keg of beer.
 "'Lead me to the wcNlthiest inhabl- tants of this village. have orders to reuuisItion several barrels of wine.

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE
Y. NJ. c. A. NEEDED

Atlanta, Ca, April 25.-"Volun-
teer in the overseas service of the
Red Triangle" That slogan of SER
vice is one now used by the Y. NJ.
C. A. in big recruiting drive which
it is now putting on to man its army
and navy work. According to the
campaign plans 5000 men must be
recruited for overseas service with
the Y. NJ. C. A. within ninety days.
In addition to that number several
hundred more will be needed at home
for work in the training camps and
the home naval points.
Besides the steadily increasing de-
mands which are being made by the
continual mobilization of American
soldiers, hundreds of secretaries each
month are requested by the French,
Italian, British and Portuguese mill
tary authorities. Military leaders
feel that men must be provided and
that their enlistment is necessary
part of fulfilling our obligations in
the war for democracy.
During the next few weeks every
city and village and countryside in
the South as we'll as all other parts of
the country will be searched for men
not of military capabilities, but who
are able to serve their country and
its fighters in the Red Triangle ser
vice in some capacity. Ministers,
business men, lawyers, farmers and
teachers; in fact men from all walks
of life are being urged to volunteer
for this service.
Just how important it is can be
seen by the assertion of one worker
in France who said that the leader
ship of a 'Y' hut in France has big
ger possibilities of national service
than most of the bank and college
presidencies and big city pulpits in
America"
The government is watching the
recruiting drive with interest. That
should be one incentive for volun-
teering. President Wilson has said:
"The thing that you are doing is pro-
viding the moral amor for all of these
soldier men Of ours"

DIED EN- ROUTE HOME.

On Saturday morning, when the
northbound Dixie Flyer arrived in
Marietta passenger was taken from
the train in a dying condition, and
only lived few minutes afterward.
The man was Orby E. Smith, and
his home was Terre ,Haute, Indiana,
and he was travelling alone. Papers
in his possession showed him to be
an Odd Fellow and Knight of Py-
thias, and both these local organlza-
tions wired the lodges in Indiana, of
which he was a member.
The K. of P. Lodge was the first
to reply, and Chancellor Commander
Potts Of the local lodge had the body
turned over to Black Undertaking
Company, where it was prepared for
shipment to the home of thel de-
ceased on Sunday morning.
1t is sad to think of dying away
from home, and among entire stran-
gers, but it is no doubt some conso-
lation to his family to know that even
then he was among members of his
fraternal orders who did all they
could for him.

GA. FARMERS UNION
TO HOLD CONVENTION
IN ATLANTA MAY 1ST

On May 1st, 1918, the Georgia
Farmers Union will hold a State Con-
vention in the hall Of the House of
representatives, State Capitol, At
lanta, Ga. The purpose of this meet
ing will be to enlist the greatest in
terest possible among the farmers of
Georgia to the end that all food crops
will be cultivated intensively in or
der that Georgia will have the great
est yield possible this year. Also
stress will be laid on the fact that
much corn and other food crops can
be planted yet, and by doing this
our food supply can be greatly in
creased.
The greater part of the meeting
will be open to the public and all
farmers are urged to attend as well
as members of the organization.
National President, Chas. s. Bar
rett, who is so actively identified with
agriculture as it is connected with
the war will b Elm attendance and
make one of the principal addresses.
Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey has accepted
an invitation to be present and make
an address and his address promises
to be very instructive and one of
the most interesting parts of the Con-
vention DR.. J. Phil Campbell, the
Director of the County Demonstra-
tion work in Georgia, will speak to
the convention as well as M. L. John
son, one of the most prominent far
mers of Barlow County and Geor-
gia.
Hon. j. J. Brown, Commissioner
of Agriculture, will make an ad-
dress. Mr.. Browns address will GER
tainly be a feature of the meeting
as well as important to the farmers
of Georgia.
In this state the Farmers Union
is working to aid in the production
and conservation of food in Geor-
gia. We take this opportunity to
invite and urge all farmers to attend
this meeting and help in organizing
the agricultural effort in Georgia,
for the purpose of producing the
largest and best food crops we have
ever produced in this state.
