DISASTER RELIEF
! PLAN PERFECTED
American Red Gross to Pro-
vide Local Help.
Committees Soon To Be Ap-
pointed in Many Com
munities.

Do you belong to the Disaster Re-
lief Committee in your town?
If you do, or if you are appointed,
II means that you are considered
brave, considerate, even-tempered
and strong. To be appointed to this
committee is one of the highest
honors that the American Red Cross
can bestow upon you; for the Dis
aster Relief Committee, recently ex-
planned by Harry L. Hopkins, director
Of Civilian Relief, Gulf Division,
American Red Cross, is the great
body Of straight thinking, ouick-act-
ing, dependable persons, organized in
each community to meet disasters
which arise, be they flood, fire, fam"
inc, explosion, shipwreck, or earth
quake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
American Red Cross was first or
ganized in 1881, it has participated
in 18O disaster relief expeditions at
home and abroad and has expended
or directed the expenditure of twelve
and a half million dollars. This COW
ers the period up to June 1st, 1919,
the end of the fiscal year.
America averages a dozen disas-
ters a year. Latest statistics COM
piled by the Gulf Division, American
Red Cross, show twelve disasters, and
the Red Gross gave relief In every
one!
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
the Gulf States storm in 1906, the
Mississippi cyclone in 1907, the Mis-
sissippi flood in 1912 and the second
flood in 1914. There was another
flood at Natchez in 1916, and more
floods and the boil weevil menace in
Alabama in 1917. In fact, 1917 was
= bad year for disasters in the South,
for during the summer the tornadoes
and New Hope, Alabama, brought
about much suffering. Everybody in
this vicinity remembers the Lake
Charles, Louisiana, storm in 1918, in
which the Gulf Division Red Gross
furnished such great aid, and at
which time Harry L. Hopkins, direc-
tor of civilian relief, went to Lake
Charles and directed the erection of
the tent city. A total Of $4,000 was
expended in this disaster alone. And
in 1919 the Corpus Christi, Texas,
storm was robbed of much of its hor-
ror through the prompt action Of the
Red Cross.
OF these ten disasters in the Gulf
Division in recent years, the Red
Cross has given supplies and spent
money to the extent of approximately
t10S,0OO.

Why the Red Cross is Going On

BECAUSE-Our war responsibilities
are not yet discharged. By its charter
the Red Cross must follow the army
and navy wherever they may be,
American soldiers are still in Russia,
in Germany, in France. These men
still need Red Cross service. Their
families still ne I'd Red Cross service.
We of the American Red Cross must
carry this responsibility as long as our
soldiers carry their guns.
BECAUSE-Thirty thousand men are
still in military hospitals, many OF
them crippled for life. They require
Red Cross care. Nothing will take
its place.
BECAUSE-Several hundred thous-
and men were discharged from the
army and navy. disabled. Thousands
of them are at home, and under the
care Of Home Service Sections. Many
are still in hospitals, and are ministered
to BY Red Cross. Red Cross must
help them back to health.
BECAUSE-Our Allies still need US.
The American army abroad has turned
over to the Red Cross its surplus sur.
gical snd medical supplies. This. with
little more help from the American
people, makes possible the relief work
in Europe. America is teaching Europe
how to fight disease in Siberia, il
Poland and the Balkans. It is . sacred
responsibility.
BEcAUSE-The time has come
when We can say: .'And Ameri
ca. too. !" The Red Cross has peace
program for America. The keynote il

tension Of the Home Service to all the

SPEECH THAT "MADE" RILEY
incident In Early Life OF selo we'd In
diana Poet That 10 Well Wprth
Recalling.

After many dlsappointments in for
tune, James Whitcomb Riley was en-
ployed. at few dollars a week, as
writer on the Indianapolis journal.
Shortly after, Lie Halford, who was
afterward private secretary to Presi.
dent Harrison. came to the paper as
managing editor. He decided to cut
down expenses and began by discharg.
ing Riley as his first victim. The blow
was hard one for Riley, and he was
discouraged and about ready to give
up In despair. But a couple Of days
later there was a political convention
In the city and one of the men nomi-
mated was big fellow who had never
made speech In his life. File was
called on to speak. and. shifting from
one foot to the other In perfect agony
for moment, he blurted out: "Gen-
tlemen. thank you for this nomina-
ton. l can't make a speech, but I
can tell you one thing: The ticket
you've nominated today 10 goin' to
win when the frost Is on the punkin'
and the folders In the shock"
That speech took the house by
storm and 1t was evident that the del
egates and the spectators had read
this poem of Rlley's which had ap-
peared In the paper just a few days
before. The circumstance broug ht the
paper back to Riley's rescue. and his
first book, 1.-THE Old Swimmin' Hole
and Leven More Poems." was pub
nshed and made great hit. The orig
inal copy OF this book recently sold
for $4,000.

MARY FRANCES DAVIDSON.

Mary Frances, widow of the late John

and Sarah N. Clark Smith, passed away
at her home, No. Grove street, Satur-
day, March 22nd. She had been an in
valid for the past twenty years, but had
failed rapidly the past winter, especially
for two weeks previous to her DEATH
She was born in Belfast September 10,
1850, and spent her entire life here, in
her youth attending the country schools
and the Belfast High school. She was
school teacher until her marriage August
8. 1873. With her husband, who was a
prominent Odd Fellow, she joined Aurora
Rebekah Lodge, l. o. o. F., many years
ago and always remained member, al
though for many years unable to attend
the meetings. Her chief interest was in
her home and family, by whom she was
greatly beloved. She is survived by her
son, Maurice E. Davidson of New York
City, and her daughter, Edith M David
son of Belfast. She also leaves two sis
tiers, Mrs. Elizabeth V. Mason of Bangor

Sleeping Sickness.

The curious malady which lately has
appeared in Boston is not 1.-THE sleeping
Sickness" properly so-called. Massachu-
sets has no cases of "the sleeping sick
ness" although "a sleeping sickness" has
attacked several victims here in recent
weeks The real sleeping sickness is an
African disease, resulting from the bite
of the tsetse-tesetse fly, it is not COM
municable from person to person, and it
always terminates fatally, running its
course between the limits of four months
and four years.
The disease of which we have been
hearing the last few weeks is called in
New York post-influenza coma" or ''epi-
demic coma" 1t seems to follow intlu-
enZa and it is communicable. DR.. Wood
ward, our health officer, refers to 1T as
lethargic encephalitis. Its victims may
recover. An army lieutenant in Texas
has slept for four weeks and now is ex-
pected soon to be on his feet again.
Drowsiness, coma, laxness of muscles
and occasional delirium characterize both
maladies, but the coma which has reached
Boston and Brockton progresses more
rapidly than the African disease. A few
cases of this ''new" disease appeared in
the United States and in most European
countries in 1895; in the winter of 1916
there were cases in Vienna; 1t reached
England in 1918, where it was of an cpl
demic character and soon was stamped
out. While the malady of late has reach
ed States SO widely separated as Michigan
and Texas there is no special reason as
yet for worry. The records show that
such attacks are not very common

JOHN ON GUARD
IN GERMANY
But He Must Be Cared For and
Brought Home and the Vic
tory Loan Billions Will Go to
Pay That Bill.
GUARANTEED

Most of us in the recent weeks have
heard some mother or father speak of
their absent son, somewhere with
the American army OF occupation
along the Rhine
Johns in Germany" they say
proudly.
John is standing guard out there
along the front line of freedom. no
longer menaced by gas bombs and
shrapnel, high explosive shells or ma
culne guns nor any of the machinery
of war.
He is enjoying, as much as one in
service may, the fruits OF victory. He
is sleeping i'll the open instead of in
a dug out. He is having three meals
a day instead Of a snack between bonn
bardments. He's as comfortable as it
is possible for him to be and meet the
demands of his duty.
Uncle Sam must pa his passage
home, must see that he is safely cared
for until returned.
John must be cared for in Germany,
he must be taken care of when he
gets back.
John and some $500, 900 Of his COM
rades won peace for US. Protected
our liberties, kept US from enslave-
ment and the paying of tribute, main
tanned the national honor.
And we must not forget the debt we
owe them now. 1t is debt of honor
such as the United States never yet
failed to meet.
Uncle Sam needs many billions Of
dollars to finish his war job ami to re-
iuvenate the hating American indus
tries. America has "a greater COM
mercial opportunity now than ever in
her history But Uncle Sam must pave
the way, must make prompt payment
on delayed accounts; must finish his
shipping plan.
But he cannot do this without help
Of all the people.
New Years Eve, the cost Of the War
stood at twenty-five Billion dollars.
Practically all that money has been
raised by taxation. Since the middle
OF November the Government has been
borrowing from the banks about
$500, 900, 000 a week This will foot up
over five billions by April 30.
Under the Constitution, in plain
honesty, the Government must pay for
every article it has bought. II must
pay for the use of The equipment and
