Baptist Seventy-Five-Million CAM
paign.

The Baptists of South Carolina are
definitely cooperating with the Bap-
lists Of the South in great drive for
subscriptions for Missions, Education
and General Benevolence, in the sum
of $75,000,000 to be raised on five
year plan during the eight days be-
ginning November Goth and ending
December 9TH South Carolina Bap-
fists have accepted as their quota in
the great drive the sum Of $5,5000,-
600. This constitutes the largest un-
dertaking ever assumed by the de-
nomination in South Carolina and in
the South, but by no means too large
for them to raise with comparative
ease. 1t only requires the general en-
listment of all the membership. This
will be done during the next four
months through an organization,
which is being perfected, that will
reach every member in every church
throughout the State and the South.
An every-member canvass of every
church in the South will reveal their
Willingness to do a big thing and
their ability to do far beyond any
thing that has been imagined in all
the past. The Baptists are so numer-
Gus that no individual will be called
upon to do more than he has the abil-
ity to do, yet all will do more than
they have ever done.
This big campaign was opened for
South Carolina in Columbia Tuesday,
July 22nd, when there were assem-
bled with the general organizers, the
associational organizers and publicity
from every part of the State. With
but few exceptions every association
was well represented. The leaders of
the Women's Missionary Societies
were there in full force and are &C
lively participating in the campaign.
The Baptist women of the South have
agreed to raise one-fifth Of the en-
tire sum. or SIS, 100000. The men
and women who came together in Co.
lumbia exhibited an intelligent grasp
upon the greatness, the worthiness,
and the necessity Of the undertaking,
and these qualities were matched by
a burning enthusiasm to put the job
over at whatsoever cost and in truly
great and worthy manner.
The headquarters of the campaign
in South Carolina are located at
Greenville, with Drs. w. T. Derieux
and Chas. A. Jones, General Direc-
torres. President w. J. McGlothin of
Furman University as State Organizer
and Rex. Thos. J. Watts, State Sunday
School Secretary, as State Publicity
Director.

YOU NEED NOT

To be rid of Catarrh, you must
drive the disease germs out of your

Splendid results have been re-

which it is perfect antidote.

But You Must Drive 1t Out of
Your Blood.

Catarrh is annoying enough
when it chokes up your nostrils
and air passages, causing difficult
breathing and other discomforts.
Real danger comes when it reaches
down into your lungs.
This is why you should at once
realize the Importance of the prop
er treatment, and lose no time ex-
perimenting with worthless reme-
dies which touch only the surface.

A Train That is Missed

Charles S. Pierce, of the federal
railroad administration announced at
hearing before the public service
commission in Boston, Friday, that
the Boston and Maine railroad would
restore its passenger service to nor
NAL conditions as rapidly as possible.
He said that cities and towns depend
ent upon steam railroads would be
given first consideration. Only 34S
passenger trains arrive and depart
from the North station in Boston
daily, as compared with 636 in 1910.
That sounds good and the patrons
of the B. & M. in this section would
be glad to see the train put back
again that went down the line about
three hours after the morning mail
and came up about the same time
after the afternoon mail train, thus
giving us second day train between
Newport and Springfield.

Undelivered Mail

That ten carloads of letters for
American soldiers overseas are soon
coming back to the dead letter Of
flee in Washington to be finally re-
turned to anxious fathers and moth
ers in the United States is sad
commentary on the efficiency of our
government in handling mail in the
time of war; The post Office de-
partment is laying the blame on the
war department as the latter had
charge of all mail after it reached
army headquarters. The Second AS
sistant Postmaster General told the
Senate post office committee that
conditions might be improved if more
postal clerks were sent overseas, but
if the war department does not recog-
nize the post Office department it
would be a useless errand. In some
ways our government distinguished
itself in the war, but in other ways
it made most hideous blunders.

PRESS COMMENT
A Tribute to Vermont

In welcoming Governor Coolidge to
the executive chair in Massachusetts,
the Boston Herald pays handsome
tribute to Vermont as we'll as to New
Hampshire, declaring: "From the
north country we have had so steady
an influx of solid men that the inau-
guration of native Vermonter again
occasions no surprise" Having con-
seriousness of what splendid things
Vermonters have done in building up
other states, we can almost reconcile
ourselves to the losses which Vermont
has sustained ever since the early
part of the 10Th century. The migra-
ton started in good earnest during
the days IF the California gold fever
back in the 40's and it has kept up
more or less internationally ever
since. Sometimes the men and wom-
en- have not gone outside of the
bounds of New England, many hav-
ing found their way into Massachu-
sets and Connecticut, from which
states Vermont was originally built
up; and wherever they have gone
they have left a deep impress whether
in politics or in the less spectacular
walks of life. Vermont people re-
naming at home are proud of the
records which most of these Ver-
monters abroad are making and they
are not the least proud over the fact
that Massachusetts, selected native
Vermonter for the position of gov
crnor. Governor Calvin Coolidge was
born in the little town of Plymouth
in Windsor county, where the name
of Coolidge is still prominently be-
fore the public, just as it is in Mas
sachusetts through the notable ca
reer of the lawyer who now steps
from the lieutenant governors posi-
ton to that of governor. Vermont
would like to join with Massachusetts,
in wishing for Governor Coolidge
most successful and progressive ad-
ministration.-Barre Times.

Germany First

Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, challenges the situation
squarely when he says that the AL
lies should not be "kept in the dark
as to the views of the Senate" and
that many "untoward results can be
avoided if the Senate frankly express
es its views beforehand on certain
leading points for the consideration
of the Allies and of the President
himself" Previously Senator Knox
had delivered, under similar sense
of obligation, the final and convincing
reasons why this country should not
and will not, surrender any of its
unique sovereignty to a society of
nations.
Senator Lodge voices what we be-
lieve to be the prevailing sentiment
of the country when he says that,
first, we should deal adequately with
the enemy-that is to say, Germany.
Her pledge is worthless. Therefore
there must be guarantees. When the
terms on which Germany shall be
granted peace and the conditions I'M
der which she shall work out her
sentence have been settled then it
will be time enough to define, if we
can, what we mean by such great
phrases as
League of Nations,
Freedom of the Seas,
Economic Equality
and develop plan by which they
can be made applicable to this con-
glomerate worlds concerns, in fair
ness and friendlincss, and without
any sacrifice of national sovereignty.
There is no plan. There is only the
idea.
Settle with Germany first. Then
proceed to perfect the world. That is
Senator Lodges proposal. 1t is not
only sound in practical sense, but it
is way-perhaps the only way-to
reconcile necessity and ideals in the
peace reckoning.-New York Tn-
bune.

"A Too Complacent Surrender

Gov. Pcrcival Clement advises the
Vermont Legislature to take adverse
action on the federal prohibition
amendmnt. A f'too complaint sur
render OF the rights and powers inher-
ent in our sovereign state and in our
people" is something not to be con-
templated. The new governor rose
to political influence and power part
ly because of his long fight against
state prohibition, and his present at
titude reveals perfect consistency
with his past. But the Vermont leg
islature would furnish surprise were
it to go in opposition to the Legisla-
ture Of such a state as Ohio-not to
mention % or "a others. Vermont
will probably Surrender" as other
states have already "surrendered;"
and Gov. Clement should rest content
if he prevents the surrender from be-
ing "too complacent," whatever that
may signfy.-Springfeld Republican.

BELGIANS RETURNING
Thousands of Refugees Coming Back

Brussels, Jan. 14-From Southamp-
ton and from Grimsby, Scotland, ship
are taking back to Belgium the first
consignment of the thousands of Bel
gian refugees who sought shelter in
this country at the beginning OF the
war. Present arrangements for the
repatriation of the exiles contemplate
the return only of those belonging to
Antwerp and vicinity. Later those
whose homes are in other parts OF
Belgium will be taken care OF.
Speed with which general repatria-
ton of the Belgians will be carried
out depends upon the internal condi-
tons of Belgium and Improvement OF
road and rail transport. The repatrl-
alton will be at the expense OF the
British government.
Putting in order lines OF community
cation with released territories in Bel
gium has been slow, laborious work,
and there are many Belgians in Eng
land who have not yet been able to
get into touch with their people at
home.

1919

lBy Lieut.. Grantland Rice, Sd Army,
A. E. F.)
No flash from the rustling guns;
No rifle lights the plain;
No clotted crimson river runs
From Flanders to Lorraine;
The white year dawns above the
hosts
Beyond the last red flare,
Save for ten million drifting ghosts
Who neither know nor care.
How quiet now the lost trench seems,
How still across the fold,
Where lately through our broken
The mighty thunder rolled;
Where through our restless, shaken
sleep
We heard the big shells sing,
Or saw at dawn the long line leap
To take it's final fling!
Can it be that at last the rod
Has brought it's final lash?
Where no more out the bloody sod
A bayonet shall flash?
Or can some white dawn know at last
The final charge is through,
With flames of war forever past
Where life and love are due?
Can it be down the world we may
Wake up at last to know
The soft, white dawn of some lost
day
We dreamed of long ago?
Where with the ghostly shadows
blown
Beyond the last grim fight,
Soft arms once more shall hold their
own
Across the silent night?
Today no storming vanguard leaps
To leave it's share of slain;
At dawn no rolling thunder sweeps
From Flanders to Lorraine;
The white year breaks against the
sky
Beyond the last red flare,
Save where ten million ghosts drift
by
Who neither know nor care.

Wilson and the Devastated Regions

president Wilson has had a busy
time paying visits to England and
should make these tours because they
have afforded him an opportunity to
get into touch with public men; but
it is also important that he
should see with his own eyes some
thing of the devastation left by the
Huns, and for that he has not yet
found time. 1t is impossible to realize
the fearful destruction that the Huns
wantonly wrought without personal
experience. If the President is to
pass upon questions of reparation
and indemnity it is essential that he
should gain a correct understanding
of the conditions. He needs to make
a study of the situation. "-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.
