PEAL OF WILSON
s1OO,OOO,OOO FOR RELIEF
President Asserts That Bolshevism
Cannot Be Stopped BY Force, But
II Can Be Stopped BY Food

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of one
hundred million dollars for famine re-
lief in Europe outside of Germany has
been approved by the house, which
passed the administration measure af-
ter it's enactment had been urged
anew by President Wilson as the only
effective means of combating the west
ward spread of BoIshevism. The bill
now goes to the senate, where its ear
" passage is planned.
Party lines were effaced in the
house debate and vote, and despite en-
ergetic demands by opponents of the
bill for more specific information re-
garding the proposed expenditure, and
criticism of the president, Herbert G.
Hoover and Vance Mccormick, chair
man of the war trade board, special
rule was adopted and afterward the
bill was passed, 24O to 70.
The only amendment accepted was
one by Representative Sherley, in
charge of the measure, which per-
mits use of part of the fund for re-
lief countries contiguous to Europe.
This would make it possible to aid the
Armenians and other suffering peoples
in the near east.
President Wilson's urgent appeal
that the appropriation be authorized to
aid the contamination of peace, was
sent to Senator Martin, and Represen-
tative Sherley, chairman of the con-
gressional appropriation committee,
and was read on the floor of the house
by Mr.. Sherley. 1t was supplemented
by report to the state department
from Henry D. White, Republican
member of the American peace, dele
CATION. Both messages said the prob
lem of supplying food to the distress
ed peoples recently liberated from the
rule of the central powers, was one OF
paramount Importance in obtaining
return to normal condition.
Food relief is now the key to the
whole European situation and to the
solution of peace" Mr.. Wilson said.

westward. It cannot be stopped by
force, but it can be stopped by food"

Atlanta.--At a meeting Of the state

the office Of Superintendent OF Schools
M. l.. Britain, the 1919 tentative state
budget was made out and the federal
fund Of $60,9S4.94 was apportioned
among the schools of the state. In
order to obtain the federal funds I'M
der the Smith-Hughes law dollar for
dollar must be appropriated by the
state or the local authorities for the
same purpose. BY local taxation in
the ninety-eight counties now without
such, it is hoped that the federal fund
can be greatly increased within the
next year. The board appropriated
the federal fund under the three gen
eral heads, teacher training $19,929.73,
secondary agriculture $31, 1864, trades
and industries and home economics
$9,55237. OF the amount to be devoted
to the training of teachers in the state,
