County Forces Lining
Ub for Red Cross Aid
Drive Through Field
Headquarters Get Pleasing
Reports From the Field,
While Organization in the
City Has Been Hampered
By Other Business.

Working forces to cover all Carter
county are slowly being whipped into
shape for the annual Red Cross roll
call, according to reports received at
headq uarters, los West Main street, this
morning.
1t was intimated that the time may be
extended smother week so that every
section OF the city and county might
be reached and worked to the fullest. 1t
was planned ut first TO limit the cam.
paign to one week, but because OF In.
clement and threatening weather, the
work will be done piece meal.
Carter county's quota is placed at
$4,000, and while the amount has not
been apportioned, 1t goes without say
end of the burden, because OF larger
population. 1t is expected that the drive
here will net something like S2,5O0.
Organization In the city has been
slow, John Easily, county chairman,
said this morning. This has been be-
cause Of SO many other matters COM
ing up at this time which needed
immediate attention, and because
he is anxious to get the field forces
organized for work.
While only "a few captains have been
appointed for teams To work in the
city, organization is expected TO take
definite form within the next few days
Mrs. j. l.. Wilson is captain OF team

ROCKS HER BABY TO SLEEP ;
FIRE MAKES 1T LAST SLEEP

MOULTRIE, Jan. 8.--Mrs. Enoch
HERS, wife of Colquitt county far
mer, rocked her baby to sleep yes
terday afternoon, put it down on a
bed and walked out into the yard to
look after some of her duties. A few
minutes later she saw smoke pouring
from the bedroom window and heard
flames cracking. She rushed back to
the house to rescue the baby. Upon
opening door, Mrs. HERS was horri-
fed to see. the room in which the
child had been left was burning from
one end to the other. She, tried to
break through the flames, but her eff
forts. were unavailing. The house
burned to the ground. Mrs. HERS is
said to be suffering from serious
burns.
Her husband was in Moultrie at
the time, coming here to attend
court. The family resides 16 miles
east of this city. People living in the
community went to the scene, but
they arrived too late, except to rem
der first aid treatment to Mrs. HERS.

out central and | saw Dutch edition
of Nick Carter. Some things | guess
are international.
We have the idea at home that the
Dutch are pro-German in heart. The
truth is, think, they hate Germany
but they fear them. think Germany
held such threatening hand over
Holland during the war that she was
forced to follow the iron hand. How
ever, Holland does dislike the Bel
gians and says that they were very
unappreciative during the war.
The Hague is much prettier than
Rotterdam, with its wide streets,
parks and clean, neat looking houses.
The Peace Palace is very imposing
structure of red brick and white trim
mings, surrounded by beautiful
grounds but the symmetry is far from
perfect. 1t is now used as the CAPT
tol of Holland.
A Companions Impressions.
Mock and / caught the train for
Berlin at a o'clock yesterday after
noon and paid 10 geIders for the
hours ride in Holland and gelders
for the ten-hour ride in Germany.
We had most interesting travelling
companion. He was young Czecho-
Slovak who has spent his life travel
ing and speaks perfect English. We
cussed, discussed and argued Europe
and America for three hours. The
main impression he left with me was
the amazement, warm appreciation
and love of Central Europe towards
America for the wonderful relief
work we did and are doing. He de-
scribed most wildly how his own sis
ter was starving with her child and
was saved by American food and the
most wonderful part of it to him was
that no one in America ever knew
his sister. He says the children will
never forget,it. Another idea he adj
vanced was the necessity for America
to cancel war debts. Not only does
he think America will eventually be
the gamer but with the present rates
of exchange tied up by war debts as
they are, Europe is starving to death
for American raw material, machin-
cry and trade.
was astonished by his story of
how American manufacturers are
sending thousands. of bales of cotton
to Czecho-Slovakia and other Central
European countries to be woven and
bleached and returned to American
markets and doing it cheaper than
it could be done at home. There must
be break in our system somewhere.
We reached Berlin at Z O'Clock, but
/ won't start on the Germans now.
So most of this letter, written about
Holland, is written from Berlin to-
day the 10.
| saw hundreds of Christmas trees
for sale in the streets Of Rotterdam
and each one brought thoughts of
home and few of the hardships l
must undergo in order to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities | now
have.

of my experiences in Germany.
Lots of love, your affectionate son,
