DISASTER RELIEF
PLAN PERFECTED
American Red Cross to Pro
vide Local Help.
Committees Soon To Be Ap
Pointed in Many Conn
munities.

Do you belong to the Disaster Relief
Committee in your town?
II you do, or If you are appointed,
It means that you are considered
brave, considerable, even-tempered and
strong. To be appointed to this com
mlttee Is one of the highest honors
that the American Red Cross can be-
stow upon you; for the Disaster Re-
lief Committee, recently explained by
Harry L. Hopkins, director of Civilian
Relief, Gulf Division, American Red
Cross, is the great body OF straight
thinking, quick-acting dependable per-
sons, organized In each community to
meet disasters which arise, be they
flood, fire, famine, explosion, ship
wreck, or earthquake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
american Red Cross was first organ
tied in 1881, it has participated in 1870
disaster relief expeditions at home and
abroad and has expended or directed
the expenditure of twelve and a halt
million dollars. This covers the period
up to June LIST, 1919, the end of the
fiscal year.
America averages dozen disasters
year. Latest statistics compiled BY
the Gulf Division, American Red Cross
show twelve disasters, and the Red
Cross gave relief in every one!
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
the Gulf States storm in 1906, the Mis-.
sissippi cyclone in 1907, the Missis.
sippi flood in 1912 and the second flood
In 1914. Then there was another flood
at Natchez in 1916, and more floods
and the boil weevil menace in Alabama
In 1917. In fact, 1917 was a bad year
for disasters in the Sout.i, for during
the summer the tornadoes at Village
Springs and Carbon Hill and New
Hope, Alabama, brought about much
suffering. Everybody in this vicinity
remembers the Lake Charles, Louis.
lana, storm in 1918, in which the Cult
Division Red Cross furnished such
great aid, and at which time Harry L.
Hopkins, director 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 horror 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 sos, 900.

The message comes straight from Ho.
mer w. Borst, manager for the Gull
Division of the American Red Cross
Call, which is now in progress, and
which is to reach its successful con.
clusion on Armistice Day-the first
anniversary of the close Of the great
est war of all times:
First of all are the financial needs
of national headquarters. On Septem.
Der 80 the Red Cross national treas
ury containeds 14,500,000 dollars; $15s
100000 more than that is needed for
the honorable completion of work
abroad. 1t is true that on February %
much larger sum was available, but
this sum has been used since then in
the absolutely necessary relief meas.
ures which the Red Cross was com.
PEELED to institute at the withdrawal
of the armies from the allied countries
of Central Europe, and also in the
assistance given to the thousands of
wounded soldiers in American army
hospitals.
During the period of four months
after January 1, 1919, the expenditures
by the Red Cross for these purposes
were the largest in the history OF the
organization.
"The next need which the Red Cross

service to the people of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama. Under the
banner of the Red Cross, which has
never known defeat in any field, the
people of the Gulf Division are going
out to win greater happiness and bet
ter civic life and health.
ut is fitting that the campaign ends
on Armistice Day. That is the ami.
versary of our defeat of a great ana
dangerous foreign enemy. It is the
beginning of a renewed fight, and an
ultimately victorious fight against In
ternal enemies no less formidable, ana
no less entitled to be laid low. Those
enemies are poverty, i'll health and Il.

RED CROSS NEEDED.
Gives More Aid Than Ever To Service
Mems Families.

Gives More Aid Than Ever To Service
Mems Families.
More than double the amount Of
money normally spent per month for
the relief of families of service men
was spent during the month of August
by the Gulf Division Of the American
Red Cross, according to a statement
made Saturday by Harry L. Hopkins,
director of Civilian Relief. Up to Aug
ust, 1919, total of $114,624.76 had
been spent for this work in Alabama,
Louisiana and Mississippi. During
August, $12,264.25 was spent for the
same purpose in these states.
'This makes total" said Mr.. Hop
kins, "of $126,88910 expended for the
relief of families of soldiers in the Gulf
Division, Of which sum tenth was
spent during the month of August. The
reason for this is primarily the fact
that most able-bodied soldiers are dis
charged by this time and are fully able
to take care Of their families them
selves. Those who remain are to
large degree those who are still in the
hospitals and who can do nothing for
the persons dependent upon them.
"A very significant feature of this re-
port is the striking manner in which it
emphasizes the need for the continue
ton of the Red Cross work even in
times of peace. Obviously, if we are
spending more for the relief of soldiers
families in August nearly a year after
the ending Of the war-than we were
during the war itself, our work is far
from finished.
incidentally, this Home Service
work is only one branch Of the tremen-
dous Peace Time program which the
Red Cross has mapped out for itself.
The other departments are fully as i'm
portant to the welfare Of every commu-
nifty in the Gulf states. It Is for this
reason that the Red Cross is holding
third annual roll call this year, Novem-
Der to II.
by the way, it may interest your
readers to know that the Gulf Division,
which includes Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi, is the only division in the
entire country in which Home Serv-
ice Section has been established for
every single chapter. There are 1,271
Home Service workers in the division,
and they gave aid and information to
1892 families during August of this
rear, which makes the total Of families
these workers have helped up to date,

August in extending relief to the fam

1sion, 81 1902 was distributed in Ala

RUSSIAN SOVIET
MAKES DEMAND
FOR bESSARAb!A
Roumanian Government Given
48 Hours to Reply to the
UItimatum Sent
by BoIsheviki.

London, May 1.-The Russian
soviet government has sent an ulti-
matum to Roumania demanding the
EVACUATION of Bessarabia. A wire
less dispatch from Moscow says that
the Roumanian government is given
AZ hours in which to make a reply.
Bessarabia is former Russian
province populated mostly by Rou-
manians and to which Roumania
has laid claim, On the retirement
of the Germans after the signing
of the armistice Roumanian troops
occupied Bessarabia. &c.,.
Four or five weeks ago Russian
bolshevik troops, after fighting,
reached Dniester river, the eastern
border of Bessarabaia. A bolshevik
statement on April ID reported that
the Roumanians had been defeated
and were retiring from Bessarabia.
The Roumanian government, how
ever, denied this.
The ultimatum to Roumania may
have been made in consequence OF
the successful Roumanian campaign
against the communist government
in Hungarian. The Russian soviet
government thus far has not at
tempted to form a physical union
with communist Hungary.

Child Labor Section
of War Revenue Bill
Held Invalid by Court

Greensboro, N. C., May 1.-The
child labor section of the war rev.
enue bill, placing a prohibitive tax
on products of child labor entering
into state commerce, was declared
unconstitutional today by Federal
Judge James Z. Boyd. Last year
he declared void the original child
labor act, which the United States
supreme court annulfed by margin
of one vote.
The revenue law levies 10 per cent
taxes on interstate products of fac
tories employing children under IA
years Of age, or of those between IA
and 10 years working more than
eight hours daily.
Judge Boyd today made perma-
nent temporary injunction prohib-
iting enforcement of the law, in the
case of Charlotte, N. C.. factory.
Washington, May 2.-Officials of
the Department of Justice were
without information of the decision
of Judge Boyd at Greensboro, N.
c., today, declaring the child labor
section of the war revenue law un-
constitutional, and could not say
what the next step in the case would
be. 1t was stated, however, that
the decision would not affect opera
ton of the law unless upheld by the
supreme court.
