SECOND ACADEMY TEAM IN GAME Waynesboro High School Lost to Local Bunch by the Score of Twenty-Four to Nothing. The second team of the Academy of Richmond Academy, in charge of Coach Danforth, hiked down to Way nesboro yesterday to play the High , School representatives of that burg. and incidentally the local piled up a scor * ° f J 4 against Waynesboro’s naught. The local second team, and not composed of stars by any means, never allowed their opponents to ap proach their goal any closer than 30 yards. , Waynesboro’s poor showing is prob ably due to the team just being or ganized. in fact it was the first game. However, regardless of this being the opening contest, a good showing was made. Coach Cliff Hatcher, one of the best coaches that Georgia has ev er turned out, is in charge of the team and is due a great deal of praise for instilling a great many of the val uable assests in his men in so short a time, as he did, for the “other side” did show a great deal of knowledge of the game, for not having been in the game in a real contest before. The cadets scored in the first quar ter after five minutes of play, Miller carried the ball over on a 12 yard buck. A few minutes later Phinlzy brought the ball on a 15 yard ran up to the goal and Miller pushed that one over. Phinlzy then claimed his "lost honor” by falling on the ball when Sherman blocked a punt.

Say- Directors Won’t Cooperate. The destiny of the Associated Chari ties of Augusta Is being worked out Tuesday afternoon. A vitally Important meeting of the directors of the Associated Charities was called at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of ascer taining whether the necessary funds could be obtained to place the organi zation on its feet, financially. There is great need of the associa tion here, especially at the present time and in the immediate future. The association has no money on which to run. and, besides, It Is stated, is some thing like S6OO in debt. The presi dent, Mr. S. A. Fortson, takes the po sition that it would be inadvisable to continue operation of the Associated Charities here without funds and in debt. It is claimed that there is not the proper co-operation between the offi cers of the association and the direc tors, it having been impossible in the past to get more than four or five of the directors to the meetings. AT THE BIJOU Bljouttes and theatergoers in gen eral are pronouncing the current of fering at the Bijou one the greatest programs yet seen at popular prices, and Managers Sparks and Schrameck are being congratulated at presenting such a talented aggregation of play ers in the big musical sensation, "The Widow Green,” at the regular admis sion fee of ten and twenty cents —and local amusement seekers, who enjoy a meritorious performance, are crowd ing the Bijou this week to such an extent that extra shows are being contemplated, as the offerings of the Southern Beauties Musical Comedy Company are far above the average and excel anything of its kirtd ever seen here. Pretty girls and funny comedians are conspicuous at each performance, and each and every member has gain ed much prominence In the theatrical world, which adds no little in making the Southern Beauties Musical Com edy Company an all-star aggregation. "Up in a Kerris Wheel” will be the offering tomorrow and Thursday, and "The Bogus Bishop" Friday and Sat urday, with a complete change of pic tures for each show, always giving three reels to the show. The management is to be congratu lated for having secured the popular Andonegui orchestra. It Is conspicu ously delightful part of the entertain ment. Remember the new policy of the Bijou —a continuous show from 2:30 to 5:00 and 7:30 to 10:00. AUGUSTA TENNIS TEAM BACK; ARE ENTHUSIASTIC A very enthusiastic bunch of tennLs players.

TWO AUGUSTANS SHAKE HANDS ON BOARD THE RICHMOND IN SAVANNAH Successful Launching of New River Craft With But Two Au gustans Present. Rev. Howard T. Cree and R. E. Ander son ‘‘On Board.” The Richmond, first of the two barges for the Savannah river traffic between Augusta an A Savannah, was launched yesterday at noon with but two of Augusta’s citizens present. R. E. Anderson, manager of the new line and Rev. Howard T. Cree, who is holding a series of revival services in that city, saw the splendid new boat which is to revolutionize the river traffic, slip Tom the ways and slide into the stream with her nose point ing toward Augusta. A special from Savannah to the Herald says that as at high tide when the new boat gently glided down Into the water, Mr. Anderson was on board and in a moment was joined by Dr. Cree who came up In a tug, having witnessed the launching from mid stream. Dr. Cree says the boat seems to fulfill every promise made for her and expressed himself as more than pleased with her appearance. "It was simply wonderful to see such a large boat ease off her ways,” says the minister, "and take to the water with the grace of a big bird or waterfowl.

Primrose, famous dancer, with Primrose and Wilson Minstrels, at Grand Saturday Matinee and Evening. lived on a river most all of my life but the Richmond is something new to me in the way of boat construction. While I can not say she is a thing of beauty, I am convinced she will achieve the thing for which she was made. Her steel hull and frame make her practically fire proof and her light draft will enable her to run at a very low water. I am convinced further that, when she pulls up at the Augusta wharf under her own power she will be an unoswerable argument as to the safety of river transporta tion for all kinds of freight, to all our citizens." It was a regret to the members of the Rotary Club during their recent visit to the city by the sea that the new boat could not be launched then, but the Herald rejoices that two of our citizens were there to join hands on her deck as she found her homo in the element for which she was born. As soon ns the machinery is Installed the boat, now at the Wilkinson wharf, will make her maiden voyage to Au gusta. Mrs. Annulett Andrews Ohl Writes With Feeling. Personal Knowledge of the Belgian Situation In a letter to The Herald, Mrs. Ohl says. “I am writing to you, my people of the South. I want to ask you to help Belgium and the Red Cross. I know many of you are helping and I know many others have it in their hearts to help if they an*; not doing so already. If I. through mis letter, oau be an influ ence for more heip I shall be vtvy happy indeed. "I have heard, several times of late, two questions asked as reasons why we. in this country, should not Help, and first, I want to reply to them. Sorno persons have said: 'Why should we help take care of the wounded In Europe when each army Is expected to have its own sufficient hospital corps?' Some Southerners have asked: 'Why should we be helping tHo Belgians when, in our whV, the Europeans did not send suc cor to tiie South? "The answer to tHe first question is that never before, as we all know, in tiie history of civilization has there been such a war, so many dead and wounded. Such far-reaching misery and want. It is constantly stated in the war reports, and there can be no ques tioning their tvuth, that but for the great Red Gross thousands of soldiers would be left to die on the battlefield. No one army can take care of its wound ed. The Invaded countries of Europe are also burned and pillaged and im poverished countries, and their near neighbors are laden, not only with the burden of wounded combatants, but fill ed to overflowing wltii penniless and starving people We all know tills and we know that wo are one of the few neutral nations, as yet spared from want ourselves, and able to help those abroad. "The case of stricken Belgium and that of our own stricken tiouth arc* parallel in many respects but not in Belgium's cry to other nations for suc cor. We, for instance, might not fed called upon to help if Russia and Poland were engaged in a civil war, or if Eng land and Australia wertv lighting; but Belgium is different. Never before lias civilization lunl to witness. in three months time, the utter demolition of a country and its people—a country at tacked through dishonor, filched through greed and envy, maimed and ruined through barbaric cruelty! There must be an Intense, sentient sympathy for this glorious and valiant little country in the hearts of Southern pv»ople, for uur country fought valiantly, our coun try was Invaded and our people reduced to poverty. "Never so poignantly have 1 felt what the South suffered years ago as in this invasion of Belgium. Memories come flooding over me of the 'reconstruction’ days when 1 was a tiny girl of the sor rowful mid broken pcop*e, of the fear of the fedeVal troops; the stories told amid tears by the women of my family of the death of their men; and again ai 1 again us 1 read of Louvain and Liege and Tennonde my mother's oft repeated cry came to me down the years ‘Oh! my child, you do not know what the terrors are of an invaded country. "Holland and England are near neigh bors of Belgium and nobly and generous ly are they responding to tiie needs of her stricken people, but, wh h It comes to fellow feeling, to an understanding of the poverty and insulted pride of Bel gium, the South Is her nearest neigh bor In all the world; for mdghborllness lies, not in geographical nearness, but in the souls of those who have known aim ilav sorrows. "1 was in Belgium in 1912, only one little year, ago, when we landed at Ant werp on a gentle April day on our way home from China. I took many little Journeys through Belgium to Ghent, Bruges, Ostend. Such a beautiful lit tle country- -full of present pe ace and past poetry and tradition; a quaint "Id time fairy country of castles and cathe dral spires and phantasmal lombwdy poplars limned against the blue sky; a land of good gentle people, wholesome Inhistrious, content. My visit to Bruges 1 have marked with a white stone In my memory and I have little pictures of the city that 1 look at now find call my Fairy i'rlncess among the cities of all the world. 1 think of her b uty now as that of a fair maid attacked and trod den beneath the heels of ogres. Beautiful Bruges with her Jewels of architecture, with the precious little house in which Betefr the Great, who loved little houses, stayed for many weeks, with tin* en chanting house of Memling in which h« lived and died, with the hospital full of paintings of his so fine, so marvelous in color and drawing and religious ten derness. Then there Is the exquisite facade of the Hotel de Ville, there is Groot House, with its old Flemish kitchen, Its treasures of historic lice and porcelains, Itw quaint carved wooden bust of Charles the Second of England with the wooden hat that can be lifted off. There ate the dainty lace makers convent nearly, weaving their lovely cobwebs of beauty for all the fair women of the world. "Ah! what German ‘kultur' could re pay humanity for the destruction of this fair, unsullied chatelaine of cities! "And now Bruges is mined like Brus sels and Ghent and Ostend, ready, to be blown up, should the Germans he Ufcve.il out of Belgium! "Little did I dream as I stood silent, and awed before Rubens' great paint ing of the Descent from the Cross in the j Cathedral at Antwerp that soon that Innocent country would itself bo cruci fied. Now as I read of the unholy massacre of an Innocent people I sc.’ ever that Cruiclflod Christ on the cross. The blood flowing lTorn Ills wounds afresh a stream of accusing scarlet through the ravished land! "But so full of peace and gentle con tent was that lovely Belgium In the spring of a year ago that 1 never dream* ! ~(! of her as a fighting country. If uny one had told rne she hud a serious and capable army 1 would have laughed; for bad I not watched the little Belgian sol diers In Peking peacefully playing ten-. pins 7 There w«*« eighteen of them, and I always celled them my little tin soldiers, because they looked Just like tiie tin soldiers Santa Claus used to bring American children years ago. When the German* made their march on J. the papers were full of the fight ing quality of the Walloons and f thought of my little Belgian tin soldiers in Peking and It sounded all a Joke. But now--dear God! how those Belgian sol diers have fougtit and how splendid tfcey have been! Belgium Is tiie gory of ttils war. From my Fairy Queen of countries what splendid knights have arisen to spill their blood In her cause. What a reuse! Honor—it’s quite a mediaeval word, Isn’t It? We had almost dropped it into desuetude amid our feverish life, our trusts, our tangoes and sift skirts and motor smoke and generally feverish sel fish, pamp*fred existence. Rut the young Belgian King stands today as he will kt/md in the history of ag«*s us the hu man symbol of Honor. But for that honor to his word he would have saved his country ami his crown. But for that honor the Germans would have been 1n Paris In August before ttie French arm could get reinforcements. To Ills Majesty’s gveat spirit the nations owe the greatest debt of gratitude ever ac cepted by tho world from on<«hero. Much courage! such splendid cheerfulness- the soul of tho ewiftdor till* young Icing knight of Belgium! It -was In keeping with this ohl-fnlry-story country that such a king should come f« Ui In Its de fense And his generals and the women and even the young lads of the land what wonderful uUfclen of daring and patriot-' Is rnthere are to tell from the lh»st to the greatest General Leman, finally taken ut Liege after a shell had felled him s&ylng sfterwards, ‘Please let my people know I was taken unconscious;' and the lad shooting von Bulow and put ting on the deed German general’s uni form and escaping. "Think of the terrible taxes put upon these people. Now Antwerp, the last city to hold food and shelter for the Belgian people has been filched of its flour and grain to feed the soldiers of ’the invader. All of these horrors visit ed upon an Innocent and helpless people while Germany at home boasts that it Is well fed and that Us treasury is full of gold. "Of course Germany ought to feed the Belgians but the world cannot make Germany do this. We must settle with Germany later on this score and many others. Meanwhile the cry of Belgium is a far cry encircling all the world, and I pray that tl may he heedel by every individual- man, woman and child—in the South who can give to that stricken country. "The Belgian relief committee in New York states that while food supplies have been sent and are being sent, more food still Is needed to prevent the stricken people Prom starving to death. Moreover clothes are needed; all the warm clothes that can be spared by families in the South will be welcome to the Belgian people, many of whom have scarcely a garment to cover them Clothes of every description can be sent things of tho very best and finest quality provided they are warm enough to be serviceable, foV many gentle folks among the Belgians -persons who have hnd their motor cars, their servants, their beautiful frocks and hats frog| Baris- are without homes or clothes or food this winter except that v/1. h 1g provided f<fr them by strangers. "Recently the employes of the Patent Office gave to the Belgian Relief Com mittee one thousand gaira of good, serviceable American shoes. Many more good shoes are needed. I believe every well-to-do American housewife can find good shoes In her family that are no longer being used and would be of service to those needy people. It is a fact all of us women know that men have a passion for buying slices; they hoard them as carefully as women do their pins and halvpins. I remember the story of a charitable wife who had begged iier husband winter after winter to let her give away to needy people some of his hoarded shoes but without avail; so one day the gentleman, when he c;ime down stairs, found a pair of his shoes placed reproachfully on every step -and .hero were thiVty steps to that old Southern stairway. "1 am sure many good shoes could he found today among many Southern households and that the men in the family could he separated also from ex cellent overcoats, trousers, and other articles of clothing that are retained merely as matteVs of sentiment. It is wonderful what treasures a woman can find to give away In her husband’s wardrobe If she goes about it In earn est. 1 believe our men folks would part with these hoarded treasures more willingly for the Belgians than for any other cause In the world. Belgium must make a strong appeal to men for, in that country men are doing dauntless deeds In defense of tlieir stricken land. It must appeal to all women for the homes of that country hawe been burned and many of Its women and children maimed and desecrated. •1 have dwelt upon clothing for men but of course clothing for women and children Is especially needed. Everything In the way of gnvments can he sent to ilie Belgian Consulate, 2f> Madison Ave., New York. Each parcel should ha marked on the outside ‘Clothing for Bel gians The name of the donor should be enclosed in each parcel. "Mrs. Elizabeth Hlsland Wet more, whose address Is Utile l.avender. West 10 fleet. .Surrey. England—receives con tributions of garments for Belgian needy now In England, and, as slie knows of many Belgian families who IVom luxury have been reduced to want—women and young girls and children who had to flee from their homes with only the clothes Kiev were wearing It might be well to send any especially nice garments to her address. Also hats. As the Belgian peasant women do not wear hats for them shawls arid good heavy simple win ter clothing should tie sent. "There Is much that can be done In sewing societies In every small commtt nltv In the Mouth for the American lied Cross whose v.-ork Is proving such a help to the Red Cross organisations of nil the other nations. "11l addition to the regular hospital corps attached to each army, each na tion has Its Red Cross. But, even with these and with the assistance of our own Red Cross the poor stricken people are crying for more and more. We on this side of the world cannot do too much In help In both supplies and money. The American Red Croßs publishes a pamphlet Celling Just what It needs for Its work vn the way of garments and hospital supplies. This will ho sent to any one who applies and l hope with all my heart that during the long win ter much comfort will come to the wounded and the needy In Europe through the generous work of our sweet women and Kiris In the South women and girls whose mothers and grandmothers knew In their time the terrors of a country Invaded, Its sorrows of death and destruction, Its aftermath of poverty and struggle. Contributions for the Red Cross should he sent to the heid'imiTtcrs In Washington addressed In Miss Mabel Boardman, Red Cross lleadituartOTH Washington. The Red Cross assures lls workers that their con tributions of garments, surgical supplies and MO forth will go to the nations des ignated hy the donors. All that Is nec essary Is to express a reference if you have one. The Red Cross Is working for the stricken of all nations. I hope with all my heart that this lit tle appeal from a Southern woman to her own people may hrlng still more help to the wounded and stricken victims of this horrible war.
