The week of May G to May 13, in elusive, has been set asido by tho War Council of tho American Red Cross for the next war drive, in which ,$100,000,000 will bo raised to carry on the relief work of tho Red Cross all over the world, according to the announcement of Henry P. Davidson, chairman of the council, which has just been made nubile. 'This amount will be apportioned to the thirteen divisions ol' the Red Cross in this country according to the population and wealth of the section, and every penny of it. with the addition of in terest, will be devoted to tho work of relief for which it is given. Asa G. Candler, of Atlanta, has been appointed chairman of the War Drive Committee for the Southern Division, and will supervise the work in the five States that comprise the division - -Ccorgla, Florida, the two Carolinas and Tennessee. Of the $100,000,000 raised by the Red Cross in its last drive in the mummer of 1917, about $80,000,000 have already bcem appropriated for relief work in this country and in Eurolie, so that another campaign is necessary if there is to bo no gap in this work of mercy. Out of this the hugest single appropriation has been made for work in France, for which more than $30,000,000 has been set aside, including every branch of mili tary and civilian relief. Large ap propriations have also been made for work in Belgium, England, Italy, Russia, Rumania, Serbia and Arme nia, as well as for relief work among the American prisoners in Germany and for both military and civilian re lief in this country. The War Council is confident that the account they have rendered of the way in which the last $100,000,000 have been spent, as well as the cause they represent, will make the rais ing of the next $100,000,000 an easy task.

Chicago, March 7-'t?qual suffrage, nation-wide prohibition and radical legislation favoring farmers and la borers are the Chief planks of tho platform of the National Party ad opted hore to-day at a convention at tended by about 200 delegates, 100 o? whom are bolters from the Prohi bition party. The platform, after several hours of debate on tho negro-voting ques tion and various points of the planks favoring laborers, was adopted by a unanimous vote. It is the llrst d?d uite expression of the policies of the new party. In regard to suffrage the platform r demands the right of men and wo men to Vote on all questions an'd en forcement of the laws enfranchising negroes and others regardless of color or race. The prothbition plank pledges the party to' work for nation-wide prohi bition and for Immediate rat ideation of the constitutional amendment. Farmers' legislation. Extension of the Federal loan law ls among tho Important legislation concerning** farmers which is advo cated. Advance loans upon crops or products In storage, government in surance of farmer and stock. Federal inspection of farm products at termi nals and freedom from taxes of all farm equipment and measures to pre vent the holding of large tracts of land Idle are Included. Limitation of immigration, short ening of working hours, governmen tal insurance, more rigorous inspec tion of factories and working places, adequate enforcement of child labor laws are some of tho thingo urged in the labor plank. It is also advo cated that the government forbid in terstate shipment of articles made by children, women, ^employed more than eight hours a day, or six days a week, convicts under , private con tracts, or persons employed In unin spected factories or mines. Aboli tion of contract prices on labor and the establirajinient of the honor sys tem in prisons ls advocated. International Democracy. Much of the platform also ls de voted to the question of international democracy. The platform declares that the party recognizes that the re public Of the world ls the goal for international political development and urges abolition of secret diplo macy, freedom of the sens and abo lition of prohibitive or discriminatory tariffs or taxes upon trade and com merce. Foreign investments must bear their own risks, another plank demands. Other conditions advocated are freedom of'speech both by word of mouth and by printed matter, the short ballot In State and municipal elections, right of absentee citizens to vote by aflldavlt, public ownership of public ii tili ties and o'tension of the postal and parcel po'd system. Practically the only arguments over the platform came on the ques tion of whether negtoes should be specified In tho suffrage planks and whother governmental insurance of laborers should Jan compulsory. A brilliant speech by John Spargo, of Vermont, kept the word negro in tho first mentioned plank and lt was de cided not td urge compulsory insur ance. Another point disputad was whe ther the preamble to the platform should read: "The National Party accepting the guldanco of God," or?"of God and His Son, .lesus Christ."

A statement accompanying the or der Indicated that the now restric tions might ho made to apply to other camps or stations inter, but for the present the order applies only to the following: Camps Affected. Under the authority of the select ive service law the Secretary forbids the sale or giving away of liquor within five miles of the Great Lakes training station, near Chicago; the training stations at Norfolk, Va., and Hampton Roads, thc training camp nt Mare Island, Cal., and the marine stations at Quantico, Va., Newport, R. I., and Port Royal, S. C. Meaning- of Order. , Within the five-mile zone, under authority of the Selective Service Act, tho Secretary forbids the salo or' | giving away of any alcoholic liquor, including wine or hoer, or the im portation of such liquor except for medical or sacramental purposes, As the anny has done in its regulations, an exception is made of the serving .of liquor in a private home to guests or members of the family. In his statement explaining Ihe or der, Mr. Daniels said it lind become necessary to protect young sailors gathered for training. He referred at length to conditions at Newport and nt Vallejo, Cal., near the Mare Island station, which he said the lo cal authorities had boen vainly urged to correct. Frequent Complaints. "For many months," said the state ment, '.'the evils resulting from the presence of Intoxicating liquor in the vicinity of certain piares under na val jurisdiction has been brought re peatedly to thc attention of the de partment. By various means this li quor linds Its way into tile possession of enlisted men of the navy and ma rine corps stationed at these places, and thc moral and physical welfare of these men is thus being seriously emla n ge red, "A so-called 'dry /.one.' of only half-mile in width surrounding these stations would .be ineffective inas much as, in certain cases, a consider able area in which the objectionable trade In liquor nourishes would not thus be covered. It ls, therefore, the strong conviction of responsible ofll cers on the spot that the 'dry zone' about these places should be the full Ave miles In width, irrespective of the fact that an Incorporated city or town Hes within such distance. Amply Justified. "The department strongly concurs In these views and considers that conditions amply justify the estab lishment of such zones, which is most earnestly recommended by all that are Interested In the efficiency and welfare of the naval service." Situation at Newport. In speaking of Newport the depart ment statement said: "The representations have been made by the authorities at the train ing station that, in spite of every effort on their part, and In spite of tiie detail of numerous naval patrols throughout the city, the liquor men ace continues unabated and ls con stantly undermining the physical and moral welfare of the naval personnel. Practically all of the personnel at the training station are young lads, very recently enlisted, who aro receiving their first training in the navy, and who aro of thnt Impressionable age which-makes lt most necessary that, under these new conditions for them, they should not be exposed to insid ious temptations." In a statement explaining his rea sons for tho action, Mr. Daniels re ferred particularly to objectionable conditions at Vnllejo, near Mare Is land, which a letter from tho Mare Island commandant roferred to ns "a short business street with 25 sa loons, said to be controlled by a Ger man brewer." : Ask Your Grocer HEEK-NEALS COFFEES Bi?st- By Every Test Four Roys nt One Hirth.
