until later date.
Attorneys Samuel q. Royce. W. 6.
caldwell and Charles G.. Schuck bore
the brunt Of tn" dcf"nsC'S attack.
Tho main argument of the defense was
that the allegations were vague and
assumed. and that no charge had been
made by the plaintiff that amy or IN"
alleged prostitutes were atfict"d with
infectious disease, hut that they are
only suspected OF having such disease.
This was pointed out Ivy Mr.. Royce as
not having been proven. but only as

suspicion.

DAWSON IS ASKED
TO Give 100000
MILLION DOLLARS
NEEDED FOR THE RELIEF OF
100000 STARVING JEWS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Spurred by re-
ports of Red Cross and United States
government Investigators, as well as
by experts from their own commits
sioners, the Jewry of Georgia will I'M
dertake to obtain at least 100000
during the week of February % to
20 as part of a national fund of $780,
100000 with which to feed the g.
100000 starving Jews of eastern Eu-
rope and Palestine.
That Dawson will do its part and
that Southwest Georgia will be lib
eral contributors to this fund is indi-
Gated by reports from that section
received by V. H. Kriegshaber, state
chairman.
Committees have already been or
ganized in Dawson, Albany, Thomas
Vile, cambridge and other points.
The first step in the campaign was
taken in Augusta, where at meet
ing of about 100 Jews and christians,
none of them wealthy, called to or
ganize a committee the sum of $751;
600 was Immediately subscribed, to
which Nathan Straus, the famous
DllldUUnTOplSGs WIN WctS P1St'SAtSS --@-
mediately added $4,000.
According to Mr.. Kriegshaber the
campaign while conducted through
Jewish agencies is non-sectarlan, as
the relief funds are spent without re-
gard to creed, and while the disburse'
ments of the committees are largely
in those territories in which the Jew
ish population predominates the soup
kitchens are open regardless of creed
starvation, like charity. knows
no creed" declared Mr.. Kriegshaber
"and no child, no matter what sect
or no man or woman will be allow
ed to starve so long as the Jewish re-
lief depots have supplies. The cam
paign is based purely on humanlta
rianism, and every dollar of the func
will 90 directly for the purchase OF
food
"This is the last general campaign
the Jewish Relief committees Will un
dertake," continued Mr.. Kriegshab per
"and if we can keep these 6,OOO,OO'
unfortunates alive over the Wlnte.
we shall have made plans for perma
nent rehabilitation, on which the bes
minds in American Jewry are nov
working"
The following committee was ap
pointed by Mr.. Leon M. Shinoff, at
torney of Atlanta, who is acting a
field secretary of Georgia: X. 5. Wor
thy, chairman; Ed Stevens, W.. A
Baldwin, A. L. McLendon, San
Pearlman. These gentlemen express
the belief that Dawson will again re
spond to a humanitarian call, ant
raise it's allotted quota of $4,000.

WASTE KEEPS UP
TAXPAYERS BILLS
UNCLE SAM ASKS BILLIONS FOR
FRILLS AND NON-ESSENTIALS
WHILE URGING INDIVIDUALS
AGAINST USELESS SPENDING.

WASHINGTON, D. Cone would
never know the war was over by
looking at the proposed 1920-21 ma
tional budget of 81, 473, 1858, plus
the possible addition of $444,000,-
600.
AS compared with wartime budg-
cts the total is not startling.
But let us see what these figures
mean as compared to our before-the-
war normal.
The total net public debt of the
United States on October Is, 1915,
was less than this indicated increase
in governmental expenditures for
192O-21, being $1,131, 832,788.
The total appropriations for 1917
the year before we entered the
war-including $313,364, 667 for the
postal service, amounted to only ST.
114,937,012 or 23,272,9451 less
than the prospective increase. The
increase alone is more than the total
cost of administering the government
for any two years prior to the Span
ish-American war.
The proposed appropriation for
192O-21 is more than ten times the
appropriation for any year between
1892 and 1899.
If the government is functioning
on "peace" basis again, and If the
appropriations asked for include no
increases in pay, where, Mr.. Taxpay-
err may properly ask, does all the eX-
ira cost come in?
What is he to think, for instance,
when he finds a little item of $780,
900, as against former expenditures
of $4,000, for technical investlga-
tions in dustrial Development VI
100000 as against $4,000 for I'm
vestigations of the standards of prac--
tice and methods of measurement OF
public utilities?" Or $214,000 for the
eradication of white pine blister
rust?
All very laudable expenditures,
doubtless, for any prosperous ano
philanthropic person or government
but partaking somewhat of the quail,
tiles of the non-essential, against
which the government so strenuously
warns the individual.
These are not exceptional items
Thew are the ordinary rank and file
that by the hundreds and thousands
90 to make up the grand total of 81,
I917, 696,358 to be considered by con
gress-the major part of which con
gress will doubtless approve.
In 1915 our appropriations, exclu
sive of postal service, amounted t
1914, 497, 1925. Allowing for general
| lv increased costs, what are we get
ting in government today that &C
counts for the tremendous increas'
to approximately $5,000,OOO, 600
which is proposed for 1921-ll
peace?

LEAGUE IS CALLED
A WOBBLY AFFAIR
WENT INTO EFFECT FRIDAY
LACKING CONFIDENCE SADLY
NEEDED. LOOKING TO U. S.

PARIS.-With entry into force of
the Versailles treaty, interest natur-
aIlv turns to the league of nations
instead of the Versailles pact.
While it could not have been fore
seen by him when President Wilson
tied the covenant of the league to
the Versailles treaty he did that
which is responsible for the meeting
which took place at Paris on Friday.
Forced by League.
For there can be little real doubt
that if the league and treaty were
not intertwined that meeting would
not have taken place.
The league is needed to get the
treaty into effect. 1t will not be the
most important tribunal in that task.
r. will be at least, so far as one can
see now, less powerful than the rep
aration commission, the coordination
commission and the inter-allied mis-
sion. headed by Marshal Foch, which
entered into power on Monday.
The league started life without the
confidence of those who sat about a
Green covered table at the French
ministry of foreign affairs, and with
ont the confidence of those nations
not represented on Friday.
Sparks of life were there, but
whether they will be famed into
something bigger depends on Ameri-
America made possible the victory
of the cause of the allies, and Ameri-
ca can alone make possible the real
league of nations. If she comes into
the league in a wholehearted way
the thing will grow into something
worth while. If she deserts the
league it will exist in its present
form only as an instrument for en-
forcing the Versailles treaty
