RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross is carrying
on a wide program Of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment in United States Public
Health hospitals. and those being train
ed through agencies of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare of
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldiers dis
charge the Red Cross continues it's
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community.
The Red Cross maintains GONZALES
cent house at all Of the hospitals,
where patients can amuse themselves
after they are we'll enough to be up
and around. Parties and picture shows
in the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES
cence comes.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared In
state hospitals for the insane, and help
ing them secure compensation due from
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance.
In the Federal Boards various dis
trict offices the Red Cross worker, act
ing with the Home Service Section,
makes necessary loans to the men, ar
ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board, assists in appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing.
The Red Cross agents find men Tost"
to the Board, help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors in
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, and in some In
stances living clubs, so these victims
Of war may have attractive surround
ings and the fun which must 60 with
effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute
for the Blind near Baltimore, Md,
more than half of all the Americans
blinded in the World War have come
for training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted an
exhaustive industrial survey to deter
mine the vocations for which blind
men could be fitted. AS result it Is
putting forth well trained men equip

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members of the American
Red Cross are those citizens Of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners OF
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division of the parent or.
ganization, generally known as the
"Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction Of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is
land of zap, which came under our
nag as result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
SO,8O8 paid up members.
The main object Of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the op.
portunity to participate in the work
OF the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
In far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston of their citizenship. 1t is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
RIGA, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam,
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands
During the var these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars worth of necessary articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service in their respective
communities for the families of those
who had gone to war, and in some re-
gions gave large sums Of money and
unreasonable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief in case
Of disaster.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part
in the great Peace Time program of
the American Red Cross.

Paper Which, Has For
merly Been Friendly to-
Holder Gives Reasons
For Coming Out Now
for Walker.

Macon, Ga, Aug. 1e.-(Special.)
The Macon Telegraph, which has
up to this time been friendly in its
attitude to the candidacy Of John
N. Holder in the gubernatorial
race, will carry in it's issue of Fri
DAY the following editorial, in which
1t states that Clifford Walker is
undoubtedly in the lead in this con-
test and takes the position that his
) candidacy should therefore receive
the support of the regular demo-
Gratis of the state:
walker the Stronger.
MANY letters have reached the
Telegraph insisting upon some plan
being adopted by John N. Holder
and Clifford Walker to determine
which one should retire in the IN
terest of democracy. With both of
them running in the primary the
loyal and regular democrats will
have to put in two votes for every
pne that Hardwick gets in order to
offset Hardwick. This has the eff
feet of reducing the votes of the
regulars to one-haf vote each as
against the radical vote counting
for a full unit, and this is what
the regulars are complaining about.
Clifford Walker has stood fiat
footedly, from first to last, for the
elimination of himself or Holder,
this to be decided by close personal
friends of each. Holder has re-
fused to agree to it, and insists on
making his campaign, regardless of
the risk there is in it for the reg
ular democrats.
GAS pointed out in the Tele-
graphs bureau letter from Atlanta
yesterday, quoting one of the most
prominent lawyers in the state, this
governorship race is all-important.

efnor will have the selection of
county delegates to the state con-
vention. Hardwick has boosted of
his expertness with the steam
roller. If he should be successful
as the gubernatoriAl candidate he
would elect delegates who would
be friendly to Watson for Senator
as well as himself for governor.
h, Watson. as he did in the Atlanta
convention, would file sufficient
contests in close counties to put
him over Dorsey. and Hardwick's
convention could be counted upon
to go as far as possible in seeing
that Hardwick's steam roller func-
toned in the fullest degree.
'"Mr. Holder is an excellent man,
and would make an excellent gov
ernor. The Telegraph has pre-
ferred him over Mr.. Walker and
had hoped the situation might de-
velop so that it could support him

ever, have been such that Mr..
Holder was held in the legislature
as speaker of that body, while
Walker had the time to make a
campaign of the state at the cru
cial period. We have made a can
vass and ascertainedf from impair
tial sources insofar as possible the
status of the two candidates. Our
information is in every instance
that Mr.. Walker is regarded as the
stronger man, politically. He has
carried the fight TO Hardwick, at
tracing the atteption of the demo-
Gratis Of the state and arousing
their admiration and support.
"Mr. Walker has in every way
displayed aggfessiveness, courage
and ability I'D showing up Hard
