WAR RELIEF FUND.
Red Cross Campaign Will Be Week
Of May 20-More Than One Hun
dred Million Dollars Received in
First Drive and What Has Been
Done With 1t.

Atlanta, March lin order not to
detract even slightly from the forth
coming Liberty Loan campaign, the
War Council of the American Red
Cross has postponed the campaign to
raise the second War Relief fund Of
500, 100000 to the week of May 20
from the week of May 9Th, as was
originally intended, it was announced
in Washington today.
This action fixes the date Of the
second Red Cross campaign, eleven
months after the first, which was
started on June 18, 1917. The War
Council had been appointed by Pres
ident Wilson only five weeks prior
to the beginning of this campaign, SO
that its first great task was to pro.
vide means for carrying on rellet
work during the war on scale COM
mensurate with the military opera
tions.
More than $10O, ,OO0, 900 was contrib
uted in response to the first call for
financial aid and contributions plus
interest brought the total receipts
from the first drive up to $105 ,O99,-
257. Of this amount, SIT ,OO6, ,121 was
refunded to Red Cross chapters for
local relief work. Of the balance
$77, ,721 ,918 has been appropriated
leaving balance of $1O,37l PIT avail
able for appropriation. France has
received appropriations amounting. to
more than thirty millions. During
the week preceding Christmas the Red
Cross Conducted a membership drive
which resulted in the enrolment Of
approximately 22,OO0,000 new mem
hers This was followed last month
BY by a a campaign conducted by the ju-
nior membership of the Red Cross
which resulted in the enrolment in

child hygiene campaign at Chartres,
where the first exhibition was given,
in a motor truck equipped with hy-
gienic suggestions and apparatus from
which lectures are given to mothers.
Originally the Red Cross planned to
devote much time and energy to re-
building of the destroyed towns and
villages in the devastated districts
1t was soon found that this is virtually
impossible until after the war, and
is not favored by the French govern
ment.
In the first place, the inhabitants
are not all ready to return to their
former home cities until the Gerlnans
have been driven further back than al
present. Secondly, the work invoIved
stupendous difficulties because to re.
build any given city or town means
that quantities of material and la.
Dor forces entirely unavailable al
present would be needed.

SUES STATEMENT.

Hon. Emmett R. Shaw, of Fort
Gaines, candidate for the United
States senate, has issued the follow
ing statement concerning his cam
paign:
Il shall not enter vigorously into
the campaign until about June /.
l am financially handicapped and
cannot hope to make as vigorous
campaign as l would like to make.
There will be many communities
which l will not be able to even visit.
shall speak in as many counties as
it is possible for me to go into and
will welcome debate with Hardwick
or Harris. / shall not spend my two
little farms, but shall be content to
do what / can without much expense.
| am not worth over $4,000, and to
spend it all would be foolish ] am
leaning on no big political influence.
| am before the people of Georgia on
my own record as a public man. When
this fight is over / shall know how
many Georgians stand for my past
record, and how many will stand up
and combat the political powers who
would control this great state with
their well organized machine. If
can hold my lead in the country
counties, and get enough of the peo-
pie, will win. l shall not claim the
earth. The people have been bluffed
enough. 1t doesn't count for any,
thing, for no one is deceived. From
north Georgia in many counties the
reports are most favorable
People Will Handle Politicians.
"The schedule to stampede South
Georgia against me by the politicians
viii be handled by the people. of this
great section in September. With
just cause and for a stronger man
they would vote against their neigh
Dor, but they will demand more of d
reason than has been offered for so
doing. South Georgia will be all
right. l shall be ready at the right
time to fight to the finish, but shall
refuse to get excited.
Il shall after June 1st devote my
time to the stump, and will speak
with all the fearlessness and earnest
ness of my being. l shall deal with
Georgia's past political history and
shall speak the truth as without fear,
favor or regard for results. This
shall be a fight worth while, and
will not have spent $4,000 when it is
over. When this fight is over young
men of today will tell their children
of the campaign waged in 1913"

Police Department ShamefuIy Neglected
City Attorney Robbins Says Force Is Not Large Enough Take Care of Present Day Conditions Common Coun- ci Goes On Record As Favorable to the Transforming of Officers Who Should Be Replaced by Younger Men.

The court of common council at its April meeting in the council chamber on Monday evening went on record as favorable to the pensioning of several ofsthe older members Of the police de- partment, whom it is felt have earned retirement and should be replaced by younger men, and the addition of sev- eral more men to the department to take care of the greatly increased po- lice business. The matter came to the attention of the council through a letter which Alderman William H. Allen received from City Attorney Lee Roy Robbins several days ago, urging some action to build up and strength en the police force. After hearing the letter read there was some discussion on the matter by the members of the council who, although in favor of the pensioning of the policemen of ad- vanced age, felt that little could be done in the next two months as the finances of the police department are not adequate to take care of the pay ment of pensions at the present time. It was felt that provision might be made to pension certain officers through a larger appropriation for the police department to be voted at the June city meeting.
 The meeting was called to order at s30 o'clock by His Honor. Mayor AL lyn L. Brown, and the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting took the usual course.
 Alderman Guy B. Dolbeare offered a report from the fire commissioners regarding the petition of the Atlantic Carton Company asking better fire protection in Greeneville where their plant is located. Tn the report Alder
 man DoIbeare stated that the carton company's request had been carefully
 considered and called attention to the the fact that additional fire protection recommended in the annual report sof
