floor
League Fight Fizzles
But while prospects for floor fights
on prohibition and the Irish prob
lem were increasing. all likelihood
that the League of Nations also
would be a subject of open hostility
virtually disappeared. The word
was passed around that most Of the
administration chiefs here were
content to let the league plank stand
as it was when it emerged from last
nights stormy committee meeting.
The reference to reservations,
adopted at the instance Of anti-admtn-
istration leaders, was not inconsistent,
with the stand by Pres. Wilson. his
managers here believed, nor in conflict
with the partys record.

Among the other planks completed
during the day was that relating to
woman Suffrage. the committee after
a long argument following the advice
of the subcommittee by approving an
appeal to Democratic ofhcials in Ten
nessee, North Carolina and Florida
for quick action on the suffrage
amendment.
On the prohibition issue the sub
committee made no recommendation
at all and many members Of the COM
mittee were for steering the same mid
die course in the final platform draft.
tions ranging from ultra-wet to ultra
dry were brought into the controversy,
however. and the whole scale Of wet
and dry arguments was rehearsed as
the debate progressed.
Bryan Leads Drys
William J. Bryan was the supreme
chief Of the drys. He told the COM
mittee bluntly that unless there was
positive declaration for preservation
and enforcement OF the present prohi-
bition laws he would not hesitate to
appeal his case to the convention itself.
The vets, who suggested everything
from a wine and beer plan to a blanket
personal liberty declaration, showed
an equal determination to fght it out
before the party's final court of re-
sort
To make certain that the commit
tees disagreements should be kept in
absolute confidence, Sen. Glass, the
chairman, banished newspapermen and
spectators to further and further
bounds as the day progressed, throw
ing Gordon of police across Railways
and other approaches to the commit
tee room. He also enjoined all the
members to strict secrecy regarding
the subjects discussed and action
taken.

bit1on plank in the platform and the
recess for an hour was for the pur-
pose of giving VIM. ]. Bryan another
opportunity to present prohibition
plank. Whether Mr.. Bryan would
stick to his original bone dry plank
or offer another was not disclosed.
The committee adopted, however,
by an overwhelming vote a substitute
plank offered by Sen. Beckham of
Kentucky. expressing sympathy for
the Armenian people and promising
assistance insofar as il shall be con-
sidered possible and proper. The
Beckham substitute received 40 votes
with about dozen in the negative.

Aeroplanes and Snowshoes Play Part

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Every-
thing from aeroplanes to snowshoes
is being used by the agents of Uncle
Sam in taking the 1920 census of the
United States About the only mod
ern method of transportation either
on, over. or below land or water that

Aeroplanes have come in handy in

an drowboast have been used in the
harbors of the country, native canoes
have been in demand among the Ha-
waiian Islands; "flivvers" are being
used everywhere; the tried and trusty
mule team has carried the census TAX

snowshoes have become the trusted
aides of the census gatherers in the
northern states and Alaska.

Conditions among the starving Jews
OF Europe cannot be exaggerated, ac-
cording to reports brought to America
by Capt. Frederick G. Johnson, of the
American Red Cross Commission to
Poland. Mr. Johnson says:
"The immediate future of Polands
starving population depends directly
on the interest and help of outside
nations until national conditions can
be improved materially. Poland is do
ing all that she can for her people, but
her present resources do not begin
to meet the need. Until the new ma
ton gets on her feet, 1t is the solemn
obligation of American relief organ
izations to keep up their splendid eff
forts without relaxation.
"I have visited desolate communi.
lies in the Department of the East,
that vast strength of barren country
lying east of the River Bug, whose
people were literally saved from ex-
tinction through the vigorous minis.
tration Of these relief organizations.
The amount of humanitarian good
that American effort and American
money can do in Poland is limited
only by the extent of American gen.
erosity. There seems no limit to the
field to be covered.
"In Novogrodek. for instance, which
was perhaps harder hit by famine and
want than any other single community
in the Department of the East, the
combined efforts of the American Re-
lief Administration, the American Red
Cross and the American Jewish Re
lief agencies resulted not only in the
distribution of a vast amount OF purely
emergency relief, in the form of food
and clothing, but also in the estab
lishment of a number Of permanent
institutions that were vitally needed
Before the Americans got to Novo.
grodek the people of that town and
the, surrounding country were in a
condition pitiable beyond description.
They were dying of hunger and dis
ease. Particularly sad was the plight
of the little children and the old peo-
pie without families. Local effort
brought little result in getting homes
of even the crudest sort established,

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. 1.-The Jews
Of Georgia are practically ready for
the Jewish War Relief CampaigR,
which begins February %, when
100000 will be raised in the state
for the suffering Jews of Eastern
Europe and Palestine.
Committees have organized in many
cities over the state, and reports
reaching headquarters here are most
encouraging, according to " H. Krieg-
shaber, state chairman. In some of
the larger cities subscriptions have
already been made. Augusta, which
has subscribed $4,000 to the fund,
reports that she will give more than
$4,000 and the committee there de-
clares that Augusta will maintain a
lead throughout the campaign.
The campaign is caused by urgent
demands for funds issued by the Joint
Distribution Committee, the Jewish
disbursing agency that is cooperating
with the Hoover Mission and other
starving population of Eastern Eu
rope and Palestine.
Attorney Harold Hirsch, of Atlanta
is chairman of the Atlanta campaign,
while Fred Ruslander is directing the
drive in the state. Mr.. Ruslander is
a newspaper editor and former war
correspondent, who for nearly a year
has been donating his services to the
Jewish War Relief Committees which
are collecting funds.
Mr.. Ruslander explains that while
the solicitation is largely confined to
Jews and the food expended through
Jewish agencies, yhe food depots are
open to all sufferers of whatever
faith.
$50 long as food remains the COM
missioners of our committees will al
low no man, woman or child to starve

TRIBUTE TO PIG CLUB MAN

Maybe Georgia had reached the
point in pig production beyond which
would not have been efficient to
,tain the services of James E.
downing as State pig club agent, but
his departure for new duties in the
New England States is cause for
great deal of regret. Just what value
is placed on his work in Georgia may
be indicated by the fact that the six
New England States arc now under
his care for the sort Of work he did
in this State. There cannot be a
doubt that the man who causes a
great agricultural State to greatly
increase the number and value per
head of it's live stock is man who
has deserved we'll of the people he
serves. Mr.. Downing came into Geor-
gia at time when the free-running
two-dimension hog, the razor back,
was the principal porcine citizen, and
after six years he leaves Georgia +.
with more than 100000 head sof
counted hogs, most of them good
breeds, some of them a development
Of the razorback cross with good
breeds, and the average weight and
value Of Georgia hog are both so
much greater than they were six
years ago that the difference is really
amazing. He had many difficulties
to overcome, but he overcame them.
The foundation he laid ought to be
built upon, until Georgia is the first
swine State in the Union. His goal.
"One hog for every man. woman
and child in Georgia" has been pass
cd. The next goal ought to be: Two
