l DYNAMIC RED CROSS MONEY l
; By FRANKLIN K. LANE,
Secretary of the Interior.
UT of the $100,000,000 given last June by the
O American people to the Red Cross, nearly
one-half ($45,000,000) has gone to help the
refugees, the orphaned children, the repatriates and
wounded of the French, Belgian, Italian, Serbian,
Roumanian and other peoples.
The Red Cross has spent more than $30,000,-
000 in France alone in the establishment of canteens
for the poilus, the reconstruction of devasted dis
tricts, the care of homeless children, the housing of
refugees, the sending of food, clothes and supplies
to the sorely burdened civilian population. More
than $2,000,000 has been spent in fighting tubercu-
Josis, one of the worst of war’s by-products; $1,149,-
000 has been expended for the shelter of war orphans.
$2,709,736 has been appropriated for the reconstruc
tion of villages and general relief work in the dev
asted areas.
In Italy a great work of relief was organized
after the Austro-German drive of last fall, and the
thousands of refugees that came pouring over the
Po and the Piave were aided by a business-like and
far-reaching supply and canteen service, improvised
out of the existing organization. More than
$3,000,000 was thus spent for Italy.
American funds will soon make the plain of
Monastir fertile once more through the importation
of seeds and agricultural implements. Inthis section
of Serbia more than fifty thousand refugees have
been on the verge of starvation for nearly two years.
It should be a source of daily pride to every
American that our own Red Cross is adding new
glories to the American Name in the Mother
Continent. QOur full support is essential if its pres
ent mighty work of succor and human brotherhood
is to be continued on an ever increasing scale.

CHILD WELFARE
Three more of those important and
interesting Baby Registration days
were held last week in Marietta, with
most satisfactory results. So far
there have been 800_children regis
tered in Cobb county, which means
they have been weighed, measured,
and thoroughly examined by the most
skillful physicians, and their ailment,
if any, diagnosed. Those mothers
who took advantage of this great op
;portunity are congratulating them
selves particularly now that the vast
majority of doctors are being called
into the service.
The efforts of the Welfare Com
mittee will next be directed towards
getting a district nurse—a necessity
in every community. Georgia is one
of the three states who have not here
tofore required the registration of
every baby, nor had district nurses.
We must remedy all that unless we
want to be left hopelessly behind in
the march of progress. }
All the mothers of Cobb county
are enthusiastic over the Recreation
Drive that is being planned by thel
Child Welfare Commitee with their|
help. The climax of this necessary
and interesting drive will bes Patriotic
Play Week, which will be the lastl
week in August. The three days pro
oram has already been mapped out by!
the Child’s Welfare Committee, and
consists of a parade on the first day;
an exhibition of things made by or
for children, sports, etc., on the next
day; and a grand pageant on the last
day.
The district chairmen will all co
operate in this, and the canning
clubs, garden clubs, ete., will all par
ticipate.

Publicity Chairman.

When He' Tries To
Move It He Gets
Death Shock:
Albert Kraeger, a soldjer from Uti
ca, N. Y., was instantl'y killed on last
Thursday evening when he put his
hand upon a live wire which was
down on the street.
A violent wind and storm just be
fore had evidently broken the wire
letting the end drop to the street.
Kraeger and his two companion
soldiers were coming up town from
the Black Jack Range Camp.
They saw the wire hanging loose
and the other two men went around
it, but Kraeger grasped it in his hand
in an attempt to throw it ,off the
walk.
The force of the charge threw his
body more than ten feet into the
street and death was instantaneous.
The body was prepared and shipp
ed to his people in Utica, N. Y.
This fatal accident appears to have
been one of the unavoidable sort so
far as the city is concerned as it oc
curred a few minutes after the wind
storm, but it might have been pre
vented by the exercise of due cau
tion by the victim himself.
MASONS MAY AFFILIATE
Atlanta, Ga., July 25.—Raymond
Daniel, Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Correspondence of the
Grand Lodge of Masons of Georgia,
has made a special report in which
he states that Georgia Masons will be
allowed to visit the Lodges and hold
Masonic intercourse with members of
the Grand Lodge of France, Grand
Orient of Belgium, and Grand Orient
of Italy.
This action was taken so as to per
mit members of the Georgia Craft in
service overseas to secure Masonic
privileges abroad; and is a small part
of a definite and extended plan of
work for the Masonic soldiers.
QUARTERLY CONFERENCES
The Quarterly Conference of the
Powder Springs Circuit will be held
at Macland at 11 A.M., on Saturday,
July 27th.

ference will be held at Vinings, on

|Let Us Give Proper
Care To All Our
Wounded
‘Women of America!
With every day the need grows
greater for RED CROSS help. With
every day the need grows ‘graver.
With every day the number of our
boys overseas grows larger.
Not only must the work of the RED
CROSS go on, it must be extended.
The members must make the meshes
of that “net of mercy” flner and finer.
Not ouly with your dollars but with
your woman’s influence. With your
influence on those around you, fathers
brothers, husbands, sons with he men
you know, with the women whose
hearts perhaps have not been touch
ed as yours has.
With those who have not heard the
“call to help” talk the RED CROSS—
PREACH it and its needs. Fulfilll
the promise of your RED CROSS
SERVICE flag.
[For it rests with you who under
stand—and—feel to wake the Nation,
wake every living soul from ocean
to ocean, to a realization of what the
RED CROSS means. What the RED
CROSS needs. What the RED
CROSS can do for your boys over
there. For those who are left behind
with our HOME SERVICE SEC
TION. For those over there who
have lost their all, that the world may
be free.
Merritte Branch organized.
On Saturday night the last branch
in the Cobb County Chapter was or
ganized at Merritts.
Quite an enthusiastic crowd gatht
ered at Mount Bethel Church and
perfected the organization of the
branch, which promises to do good
Red Cross work. :
Mr. Gordon Gann carried the party
out from Marietta composed of Col.
B. G. Brumby, the Cuonty Chairman,
Mrs. "John M. Graham, Miss Mable
Cortelyou, Mrs. M. R. Lyon, Miss
Marguerite Thompson, and Miss Har

Twenty-two members were report
ed by the membership committees
and the lection of permanent officers
resulted in very little change from
that of the temporary officers elect
ed at the first meeting on last Sun
day.
