SERVICES OF MOTOR CORPS
ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY

Mrs. George Harrington, command
er of the woman's motor corps of the
Southern division of the Red Cross, is
anxious to have all Red Cross officials,
workers and interested friends know
that the services of the motor corps
have been entirely a voluntary contri-
button to the Red Cross need. This
has not always been fully understood,
and in order that no misapprehension
shall exist on this point, Commander
Harrington emphasizes the fact that
not only have no salaries or any mon
etary compensation of any kind been
given to the motor corps members but
also no compensation has been given
for gasoline, oil, repairs or any other
expense incurred by members in car
rying on their work. At the same
time, every member of the corps has
been ready and willing at any hour of
the day or night to render unselfsh
service, no matter of how laborious
nature.
Commander Harrington further
wishes to be quoted as saying that
commentator is due also to the male
members of every family in which one
or more women may be counted in the
motor corps service. These men have
contributed freely of their money for
the actual necessities entailed by the
use of the cars and have made no COM
plant or protest at the amount of
time spent by the women of their
families in this branch of Red Cross
work which necessarily has removed
them from home at many times and
often at hours which must have been,
to say the least, inconvenient. No
mistake as to the unselfish and en-
tlrely voluntary nature of the service
should be made, and fuller under
standing of this on the part of the
public should bring with it larger
measure of appreciation for the serv-
ices these women have given fully and
freely.

ident Wilson left here today for the
United States, it was announced that

formed at the peace conference.
In his farewell message to the

friend, as he had most desired to be
treated. He added that he would be
happy to return to France and assist
in completing a just settlement of
peace at the conference.

TWENTY-FIVE REASONS WHY
OUR PRESENT PROSPERITY
WILL CONTINUE.

l. Foreign demand for our goods
greater than we ever had before.
2. BY our part in this wary have
acquired a better goodwill for for
eign trade than we could have gained
by fifty years of trading relations
we have been advertised.
3. We have a merchant marine that
we never had before
q. We will now export manufacture
ed products where in the past we have
principally exportedNraw materials.
5. We have better worldwide bank
ing facilities than ever before in our
history.
6. Most of the worlds financing for
developments, improvements and res
toration must be done here, and it IS
only natural that the purchases of

RED CROSS CONFRONTED
WITH MANY PROBLEMS
IN REGARD TO NEGROES

The department of civilian relief of
the Red Cross through its home serv-
ice sections is confronted with many
problems peculiar to the Southern d.
vision, but the main one is, perhaps,
that which touches the colored popu-
lation.
The draft and its withdrawal from
home of the men often left the aged
members of a colored family quite
destitute, and the home service work
ers have found number of such cases
which were both pathetic and inter
esting. In such cases the families
who should benefit by the financial aid
which the government provides are
often ignorant of any such provision,
as are also the men in the service
themselves. one method of solving
ing these problems is to encourage
the women of the colored race to take
home service instruction and thus fit
themselves for work among their own
people in order that the Red Cross
may reach those who need guidance
and direction.
In Charlotte, N. c., the home service
representative recently proved the
value of an assistant who was trained
to work among her own race, for the
reports made to the home office BY
this colored worker not only were
most interesting but also proved con-
cluusively that much actual suffering
existed among colored families which
might be alleviated through securing
the government allotment.
The question of health also comes
frequently under home service super
vision, particularly through the me-
dunn of the colored workers, and in
the case of highly communicable dis
eases work of this sort often touches
closely the actual safety of the COM
munity.

FIVE CITY BLOCKS IN RUINS ON
HUTCHINSON ISLAND; LOSS
RUNS INTO MILLIONS

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 15.-An area of
five city blocks on Hutchinson island
was swept by flames late yesterday
and is mass of smouldering ruins
today. No accurate estimate has been
made of the loss, which is sustained
principally by the Southern Fertilizer
company and the Seaboard Air Line
terminals, but unofficial estimates
state that the damage will run into
millions of dollars. There was no in
surance on the wharves, docks or 9TH

but the private losses are we'll covered

II. Think of the boom to the tex
tile industry and merchandising in
dustry by more than four million men
buying civilian clothes.
10. We may be unprepared for
peace, but if we are as unprepared for
vt as we were for war-why, may the
Lord help our trade rivals ....---,.,
10. Even the prosperity we have
accumulated will make a purchasing
power that will keep us generally
prosperous for three years,
20. America has lost little man
power in the war; Europe has lost
much. %
81. Our shelves of ordinary re
quirements are now empty.
%. Our cities require vast building
projects.
%. Our railroads require repairs,
requirements and extensions, and
which is in itself a very large con-
tribution to our prosperity in purchas-
ing power,

7. Germany will not be a competl-
tive factor in the future, as in the
past, for reasons of prejudice and the
fact that her trade attention will be
confined to Russia and the Far East
for many years to come.
8. The profits from foreign trade
will circulate here in America and
bring increased purchasing power,
prosperity, to our own people.
9. Our allies and our enemy are
more war-worn than we, with their
more than three years of war; they
will not be as able to supply world
markets as quickly as America, for it
will take a longer time for them to
get back into industry.
10. We have found in the past four
years that we can produce more and
better goods, and cheaper, with our
well-paid labor than Germany with
her low-paid and child labor, for the
reason that our labor does more work
in a given time.
II. Being manufacturers for for
eign trade rather than just exporters
of raw material, our payrolls will be
larger for more purchasing power,
prosperity, at home.
II. We have learned to produce at
home what we used to import-tha
money we used to send abroad will in
the future stay here.
IS. We have spread a knowledge Of
American manufacturing and trans

means that they will want our prod
ucts and machinery in adopting them.

criminal, which will aid our future
prosperity.
