S20,0O0,O00 Goes to Education.
With the exception of foreign
missions, the largest apportion-
ment that has been made by the
campaign to any single interest
goes to Christian education, this
interest drawing $2O,oO00O0 during
the next five years, or $4,00O.OOO

academies, colleges universities

5000 Orphans Ask for Home.
Baptists hove sought to discharge
their obligation to the fathcrlcss
and mothcrless children of the
South by tn" establishment Of or
phans' homes in fifteen states. Ap-
proximately 5000 orphan children
are being sheltered. fed. clothed,
educated and trained for life and
service in these institutions and a
vast service to society is thus being
rendered, but the pathetic side Of
the situation is that fully 5000
more orphan children are on the
waiting lists of these institutions,
anxious to be admitted to the priv
i'eges there. but the lack of room

to do while on earth in giving sight
to the blind and hearing to the deaf
and enabling the lame to walk.
To succeed in raising this huge
sum of money for purely spiritual
purposes will make it necessary
that Baptists have larger vision
than they have had before; larger
realization of the worlds need of
the gospel and of the service which
Christ commanded His children to
give. to their fellowmen; a deeper
spirit of prayer and conservation;
a reader spirit of sacrifices; and a

is such that the doors must remain
closed to them until the homes are
enlarged. No more Christly task
confronts Southern Baptists than
the enlargement Of their orphan
ages to the point where homes and
practical Christian training can be
provided for all orphan children
who desire to enter, regardless of
creed or sect. To make worthy
start in the accomplishment of this
task during the next five years the
sum of $4,700,000 has been appor-
toned by the campaign and every
cent of this will be needed.
Plain Relief Of Human Suffering
Fourteen hospitals operated by
Baptists in the Southern states find
themselves unable to meet the de-
mands made upon them because of
inadequate equipment and facilities.
The demand for charity work is
very, very great and will always
be so, and it is work of this
character that probably needs
most to be done because of the
inability of the sufferers to 90
elsewhere. Thousands of men
women and children nave been re-
celved of suffering and placed upon
the road to health and larger use
fulness and happiness for them
selves and the world through the
irstrumentalities of these hospitals
and the sum Of $4,800,00 appor-
toned from the campaign for the
strengthening Of these institutions
will be expended in manner that
will help those in charge do the
work which Christ loved so much

GOOD ROADS AID MARK ETING

The farmer Interested in hauling his
produce to market in the most econ
omical ashton can not afford to over
look the benefits derived from good
roads. Investigation before and
after the Improvement Of certain
highways shows that the cost per ton
mile was practically cut in half by
reason of the betterment Of the road.
In other words, good roads mean a
big. reduction in that part of overhead
which covers hauling-and hauling of
some sort is being done practically
the year round.

WORKER.

Chicago.-Reports Of fraternizing Of
allied and foe troops following the
signing Of the armistice on the western
front are denied in a letter from II. b.
stecher. Racine. Wis, received at the
Offices of the national war work coun-
Gil. Y. NJ c. A.. here.
Stecher was Y. n. G. A. worker
attached to the Ninety-first division.
He served for more than SIX months on
three fighting fronts-at St. liihiel,
In Flanders and the Argonne. Twice
he was cited for bravery and awarded
the d. S. c.
Before going to France to serve rs
"Y" worker Stecher was associated
with the Hamilton Beach Manufactur-
ing company at Racine. Formerly he
was a member of the California Ma.
tional Guard when he was living in
Los Angeles. Cal. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. N. D. Stecher. live In Chi
cago.
Referring to reports Of fraternizing
OF the troops Stecher says: Certain
ly there was no attempt or desire on
the part of the men OF our division to
fraternize with our much-despised 0p-
ponents. and had there been. the ON
GERS would not have permitted 1t. As
O matter OF fact the guns were going
right up to the time the armistice went
into effect. You see. our boys have
had a mighty good chance to size up
the caliber of the other side. and had
the Germans shown any Indications of
good craftsmanship in the fighting no
doubt we. would feel some little re-
spect for them. Having been a dough-
boy myself In the past. and now hav-
ing gone through all the fighting with
my division, I believe my viewpoint is
the ZANE as that of the majority of
our division. and. personally, have
the utmost contempt for the German
soldier. his methods md his Ideals"
