One Million For
the Baptists

Atlanta, Ga, April 8.-The most
strenuous financial effort ever made
by the Baptists of the South is now
well under way with the opening of
the $1,OO0,OOO campaign which will
provide funds for the maintenance
and extension of the various religious
and educational activities directed by
the Baptist Home Mission board. The
drive is being put on in seventeen
states of the South and Southwest and
particular emphasis is being laid on
the necessity for increased religious
activity in this period of reconstruc-
ton following the world war.
The Baptist home mission board,
which has headquarters in Atlanta, is
co-ordinating the forces of the Baptist
conventions in the various states of
the South and Southeast, so that none
of the original impetus of the drive
may be lost. The compaign must be
completed by April 80 and reports
coming in from every section of the
territory to be covered indicate that
the preliminary plans are practically
perfected
The funds secured in this big drive
will be expended in the states in which
the campaign is staged and also in
Cuba and Panama, where the Baptist
denomination has particularly
strong corps of mission workers and
educators
The army camp service, which in
cludes force of 100 camp pastors and
which has resulted in the conversion
of 100000 men during the past ten
months, will receive $225,000 of the
total amount to be sought in the drive.
Another $150,000 will be used in sup
porting the cooperative missions,
which are maintained in communities
and territories that could not other
wise be supplied with religious in
struction. The Southern Baptist san
atorium at FL Paso, Texas, will receive
$4,000 of the fund, while the noun
tain mission schools, of which there
are thirty-nine in the southern states,
will be given $4,000 for maintenance
and extension work.
General evangelistic work in the
South will receive $4,000 and 100000
will be spent in what is termed ZEN
listment" work, which is the placing
of regular pastors in churches which
now have services but once or twice
each month.
The church building fund, which
handles gifts to be used in erecting
churches throughout the South, will
get $125,O00 and the missionary activ-
tiles in Cuba and Panama are to be

Week End Trips
To Mexico

Laredo. Texas, April 8.-Whether
Mexican cities along the border will
become GASES for international drink
ers" when America adopts prohibition
in July has not been determined, de-
spite some leanings in this direction.
A movement recently was started to
have passport restrictions removed,
throw open the international bridge
and run weekend excursion trains
into Mexico. 1t was proposed to es-
tablish big gambling houses, cockpits,
bull-rings and pretentious drinking
emporiums. American business men
vigorously protested on the ground
that the trains passing through Am
erican towns would bring only a repu-
tation for lawlessness.
The Mexican government has not
! indicated its attitude in the matter
and seems disposed to let the liquor
problem solve itself Local officials
are represented as not wishing to de
ny their citizens profits that Ameri-
can prohibition might bring.
Mexican cantineros have thrived in
the year that Texas cities have been
dry under the Texas military zone
law. Passport regulations permit per-
sons living within ten miles of the
border to pass from one country to
the other on local permit. Many
American residents visit Mexican
towns daily to obtain drink American
authorities have prevented struggling
of liquor into the United States.
Medical authorities predict that I'M
restricted border traffic would have
a serious effect on the arnly's cam
paign against disease.
All suspicious visitors from Mexico
are searched by customs officers for
contraband liquor. AS a result of this
strict supervision, mezcal, a highly in
toxicating Mexican drink that former
ly sold for so cents a quart, now
brings $40 quart here when obtaina-

Boston, April 8.-French records

allotted $4,000, with another $4,000
for work among foreigners, Indians
and negroes in the Southern territory.
There are several other departments
of mission work under the jurisdiction
of the Baptist home mission board
that win benefit financially from the
campaign.
An appeal is being made to every
Baptist in the seventeen states, as it is
pointed out by the board that the ac-
Invites for which financial aid is
sought represent the response OF
Southern Baptists to the ferment and
unrest which characterize the recon-
struction period now upon the world.
