FOR The RELIEF OF THE WAR
SUFFERERS IN The NEAR EAST
A Complete Organization Is Being
Formed in South Texas for
That Purpose.

Houston, Tex-A complete organiza-
ton is being formed In South Texas
for the purpose of putting over a drive
to raise the quota that has been as
signed to the district in the campaign
for the relief of the war sufferers in
The Near East The quota assigned to
South Texas is $311, 900, and while the
headquarters for the drive will be in
Houston, each county in the district
will have its own organization and
carry on the work in much the same
manner as in the case of the recent
Red Cross membership drive.
The difference between the two cam
paigns Is that the present is money
drive. President Wilson has called
upon Texas to save the lives of $780,
000'' Of these starving people who have
been rendered destitute by wars raw
ages. It has been estimated that for
every S. contributed a live will be
saved. This humane task will appeal
to the people of Texas and those in
charge of the campaign feel that there
will be response to the appeal that
will once more put Texas over the
top in one Of the most important war
work activities that has yet been pre-
sented to them.
Herbert C. May of Houston has been
selected as director of the campaign
in South Texas. He is rapidly getting
IN touch with prominent men in all of
the counties in his territory and hopes
to have, within the next few days. an
active chairman in every county In the
district. This district is composed of
S6 counties, practically the same coun-
ties as composed the South Texas dis
trict in the Red Cross roll call drive.
Governor Hobby has issued a proc
lamation to the people of the State and |
has especially appealed to the officers
OF the county councils of defense to |
get behind the campaign. The man
ayers of the recent Red Cross roll call
drive have asked the workers in that
campaign in every county in the dis
trict to assist in the work, and Mr..
May is getting in personal touch with
prominent men in the several COM
who are responding readily to
The request for assistance in the work.
The active campaign will be put on
turing the week of February 8 to 10.
n the meantime the counties will be
organized. 1t is realized that the sue
less OF the drive depends upon the
completeness of the organization, and
or this reason an effort is being made
o round up every nook and corner of
he territory. In the larger cities and
owns of the district block or district
.hairmen will be selected. In the
ural sections of the counties the work
Vill be under the direction of commit
ees formed in school districts. Every
Individual in South Texas will be
iven an opportunity to respond to the
logan OF the campaign and save a
fe."
An active speaking campaign wiz
e organized at once and some of the
est speakers in South Texas are ex-
ected to devote week or ten days
the interests of the drive. This
.ork will be directed from the Hous-
IN headquarters by James p. Rich
rdson, who managed the four-minute
oeakers during the war period.

NEW DOCTRINE BY SENATOR KNOX

Senator P. G. Knox of Pennsyl-
vania, formerly secretary of state, has
propounded to the senate ANEW Amer
ican doctrine in international affairs.
Holding that Washington's caution
against entangling foreign alliances
should not initiate against close as
soeiation of the United States and
other great nations for world welfare,
and that his proposal would strengthen
the Monroe doctrine, the senator enun-
ciated his new doctrine thus:
IF a situation should arise in
which any power or combination Of
powers should directly or indirectly
menace the freedom and peace Of Eu-
rope, the United States would regard
such situation with grave concern as a
menace to its own freedom and peace
and would consult with other powers
affected with view to concerted ac-
ton for the removal of such menace"
The Pennsylvania senator spoke
ins support of his resolution, proposing
ing the postponement of consideration
