Another Great Drive
Southern Baptists Go In For
Mammoth Sum?Will Raise
$75,000,000 in Eight Days
Nov. 30?Dec. 7
At the Southern Baptist Conven
tion in Atlanta. Georgia, in May, with
.more than 5.000 Baptists assembled,
it was unanimously decided, to raise
75 million dollars, foe missions, in
home and foreign lands; for their
more than 130 educational institu
tions; for their many orphanages and
hospitals; for their aged ministers:
and for the National Memorial church
dedicated to Roger Williams and Re
ligious Liberty, to be built in Wash
ington. A campaign commission was
appointed, with Dr. George W. Tru
ett, pastor First Baptist Church, Dal
las, Texas, .as chairman, and one
member from each of the Southern
States. At a meeting in Atlanta. 6a..
early in June, the commission met
.and made but plans for "raising the
. Z5 million dollars. Dr. L. R. Scar-'
borough, president of the Southwes
tern Baptist Theological Seminary, Ft.
. Worth, Texas, was elected general di
rector, and his headquarters establish
ed at Nashville, Tennessee. Five of
the commisioners-. were appointed as
.campaign directors, to whom the de
tails of organization were committed.
Mr. J. H. Anderson, of Knoxville, a
wealthy merchant, was made chair
man.
These campaign directors have
elected the following leaders to co
operate with General Director Scar
borough in the campaign: B. C.
Hening, of North Carolina. Assistant
General Director: T. B. Ray. of Vir
ginia. Survey Director: H. C. Moore,
of Tennessee, Publicity Director; Mrs.
W. J. Neel, W. M. ?. Organizer. A
general organizer is yet to be selected.
At a meeting composed nearly 200
representatives from every phase of
the denomination's life and work, in
Nashville, Tennessee. July 2nd and
3rd, a complete program and organ
ization tor the campaign were effect
ed. Each of the Southern States j
will be organized, with the State sec
retary of missions as the general di- j
rector for that State. He will be aid
ed by a general, organizer and a pub- j
licity man, and an advisory campaign j
committee, made up of the three
persons above named, the campaign
commissioner from that State, the ed
itor of the Baptist paper, the secre
tary and vice president of the Wo
men's Work, and the chairman of
the laymen's organization. It will be
the duty of these State organizers to
organize the sub-divisions in each
State, called associations or districts.
Each of these associations or district1
will have an organizer and a pub
licity director, and the.-e will organize
^the churches, with a general director,
preferably the pastor: and an organ
izer, some select layman, and an or
ganizer representing the Women's
Work. All these organizations are
to be volunte?jr workers, from among
men and women.
The name of the campaign is "Bap
? tist 75 Million Campaign." The time
for.the big drive will be November
Zpth to December 7th. This will be
called "Victory Week." at which time
cash and pledges payable in 5 years
are to be raised to the amount of
more than 75 million dollars. All the
Ifenerai organizations?the Foreign
Mission Board at Richmond, Virginia,
fbe Home Mission Board at Atlanta.

Birmingham, Alabama, the Old Min
ister's Relief Board, at Dallas. Texas,
the Laymen's Board, at Knoxville.
Tennessee, the Woman's Mi$sefonary
Union Board, at Haiti mr^PfMarydand.
and ail The 'Starte*" organizations are
throwing themselves full length and
full strength into the campaign. Three
million Baptists are to go in and put
it over. It is to be the greatest and
most meaningful movement ever in
augurated by Southern Baptists. Its
issues to the cause of Christ are in
calculable. This money will hf>)p ev
ery phase of religious life represent- {
ed by Baptists throughout the whole
world. It is expected that every Bap
tist Church, more than 25 thousand
of them, and every' Baptist member,
more than 3 million, will put them
selves in a great fashion into this
movement.

Columbia. July IS.?The public ser
vice commission of South Carolina
yesterday issued an order, whereby the
Columbia Railway, Gas & Electric Co.
is required to reduce gas rates in Co
lumbia, a sliding scale of reduction
being allowed, ranging- from 15 to
20 cents per thousand cubic feet.
The company is also ordered to re
) fund 5 per cent on all gas bills col
1 lected under the schedule put into

The new schedule is estimated to pro
duce a revenue equivalent to 7 per
cent on the investment.
The commission also recommends
the installation of a new calorimeter
at the gas plant and regularly make
test of the heat units of the gas, with
these records accessible to the public.
The commission is also of the opin
ion that certain ordinances should be
passed, looking to the regulation of
such matters, rather than by an act
of the general assembly.
The commission teok up the electric
rates at the morning session yester
day and announced that it would have
an audit of the company's books
made to help the committee of three
1 decide upon a just and equitable rate

Children Starving in Czecho-Slovakin
Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, June 12
(Correspondence of The Associate)
Press.)?One-third of the school
children in Czecho-Slovakia are ab
sent from school every day on acount
of hunger, according to Red Cross in
vestigators' report. Many of the child
ren in the schools were so weak from
lack of nourishment that they could
I not hold their heads erect. Frequent
ly children had to be carried home
because they had not the strength t'
walk.
Mis Edith Hoyt. of Washington. J
C, and Mrs. Ethel D. Earle. of New
York City, two of the trained socia
workers sent by the Red Cross into
seventeen towns in the Erzebirip' an
trict, reported that in this section 9<
per cent of the children were actual
ly starving. To relieve this ^situa
tion, arangements have been made
for the establishment of public kitch
ens throughout the country. The
Americans are supervising their op
eration and the distribution of food
supplies to them.
"The children were undersized and
backward," writes Miss Hoyt, "bor.h
physically and .mentally. They showed
signs of tuberculosis, rickets and ane

Speed Up Week
Subscribers to United War Work
Fund Asked To Pay Pledges
Columbia. July 17.?The week of I
July 28-August 7 has been designated
as "Speed-up "Week" by the directors
of the United War Work campaign
committee, and every person who sub
scribed to the United War Work cam
paign fund in the campaign last fall
will be asked to pay their pledges
in full.
A special effort is to be made in j
Columbia, it is stated, to have all cit- j
izens of this city who subscribed to j
meet their pledges. There are quite
a great many people in Columbia
who have failed as yet to meet these
pledges.
"Speed-up Week" has been made
necessary by the fact that the seven
war work organizations have only
enough money on hand to run them
to August, according to Cleveland H.
Dodge, national treasurer. All of
these organizations must run at least
to January 1, i920.
That the work of the organizations I
should be continued is proven by a
letter received by Raymond B. Fos
dick. chairman of the commission on
training camp activities of the war
department, from General Pcrshing.
In this letter General Pcrshing says:
"Of the welfare soe-ieties represent
ed in the united campaign fo' funds
at home in the fall of 1913, vA, with
the exception of the War Camp Com
munity Service. are continuing their
helpful work with the American Ex
peditionary forces.
"This work is of the utmost value
to the troops and it is thoroughly
appreciated by ofhcers and men. It
gives me a great deal of pleasure to
testify at this time to the value of
their services. I sincerely hope that
the amounts so generously subscribed
during the last campaign for funds
will be paid in so that the work of
these societies with the Army in
France may be, continued to the end."
The War Camp Community Service
has from the outset concentrated its
efforts in encampment cities in this
country.
The German Ambassador
The latest report from Germany as
to the personality of the diplomatic
representative to be sent to the United
States named Maxmilian Harden, edi
tor of Zukunft, the sensational jour
nalist of Berlin, whose writings are al
ways entertaining, if not entirely con
incing, and who is looked upon abroad
as the very apostle of independent lib
eralism in Germany. Harden is a
good deal of a enigma. It is to be
remembered that, although he used to
assail the Kaiser and his friends and
was sent to jail a time or two: that
he severely censured some of the wai
policies of the German government;
that he has derided the Kaiser since
his fall; that he has insisted the new
government would have t<> and should
accept the peace terms imposed b:
the Allied and associated powers. h>
yet has borne a charmed privilege ii
Germany and has never gone to th
extremity of opposition. He accepted
and justified the war and urged it.'
vigorous waging and predicted tri
umph for the German cause. He has
criticised the peace inscriptions
rather severely, although he has ad
vocated their acceptance. He ha
never put himself outside the pale oi
either imperial or republican regime
and he has ridden every storm hand
somely. Finally, he is a pupil, and on
unswervingly loyal admirer of Bis
marck. As representative of German}
in the United States?it is said th
rink of the first republican envoy fron
Berlin will be reduced from ambass"
dor to minister?Harden would affec
an extreme Americanophilism. in all
probabilty. and he would cater to out
national vanity in many public ad
dresses, but it by no means follows
that he would subscribe to our philos
ophy or that he would bring from or
take b;K;k anything which would make
for real republican sympathy between
the two peoples. It is questionable
whether Harden is a republican ir
.-pint, for all his fine professions. H<
is a. jouralist always. without th*
serious mind and the tact and sta
bility a diplomatic representative
should possess. He might fall ver;
far short of being a sucessful am
bassador?or minister, as the case maj
be?and the Germans would make on<
more of their numerous psychological
errors if they should send him over
in the expectation that he wo*. Id hav<

An Era of Prosperity.
(Manufacturers Record.)
For months the United States gov
ernment urged all business men to
realize that they could "sell*' pros
perity to the country by big, bold ad
vertising. It urgeo everybody to ad
vertise heavily; if they were already
advertising, to increase their expen
ditures and broaden their publicity
campaign; and if they were not ad
vertising, to begin an aggressive cam
paign.
Never was better business advice
given, never was it more fully accept
ed, and never was there, a greater
demonstration of the wisdom of
such advice. Business men every
where commenced to advertise more
freely and on broader lines. Many
men who had never done much adver
tising made larger appropriations and
gave greater heed to the almost lim
itless power of publicity.
The result is everywhere in evi
dence. The confidence displayed by
heavy advertising begat confidence.
The optimism of advertisers created
optimism, and the pessimists slunk
back into their holes and pulled the
holes in after them?permanently
buried face downward, as is the just
dese.'t of every man who becomes a
pessimist in America.
Many men who at first did not see
just how advertising could help their
individual business, nevertheless they,
too, if broad in vision and patriotic
in spirit, began to advertise, following
the government's advice, and soon
fhey felt a pride in being numbered
among the business leaders who were
doing their part toward bringing
prosperity to the country and thus
helping to destroy the seeds of Bol
shevism, which fructify ui poverty
soils and which die in soils where
prosperity is flourishing.
Largely as an outcome of this
splendid work, vigorously conducted
by the Secretary of Labor and to
whom great credit is due, everyone
now realizes that the country has
taken the right road at the forks, and
hstead of traveling toward the land
of poverty and anarchy, is headed
straight on the road to the land of
abounding national prosperity, and
this glorious change is largely due to
the power of advertising, which cre
ated an air of optimism, and as a
nation thinketh in its heart, so is it.
The nation is now thinking in terms
of publicity-created prosperity, and
it realizes as never before that adver
tising is the great power which has
saved us from stagnation and unem
ployment, and that advertising, big.
broad and intelligent advertising, will j
keep the nation traveling safely on
the road of prosperity.
Advertising is. therefore, as so
-trongly presented by the federal gov
ernment, a work of patriotism as well
is of enlightened selfish business in
terest.
Tax Collecting Plan
Washington. July 17.?Vast increase
in the work of the bureau of internal
revenue has brought about reorgan
ization of the entire tax collection ser
vice details of which were announced
today by Commissioner Roper. Each
States, with the exception of per
sonal service headquarters will es
tablish in evcy important city to fur
nish blanks and advice to tax payers
as to how they may fulfill their ob
ligations to the government.
Ten collection districts are abolish
ed, effective August 1. being consoli
dated with other districts to permit
the creation of the new districts in
States which heretofore have not had
separate districts. Creation
new districts will date from the ap
pointment and confirmation of th**
collector in each.
Appointment of a large number of
new employer's is not contemplated as
the commissioner expects the more ef
fective utilization of the present field
force will obviate the necessity for |
taking on new men. The number oft
eollection districts is limited by law
to 64.
An idea in the growth in the bit- j
reaus work is shown in the statement j
that number of returns has increased
in ten years from 300.000 to a total
of 12,000.000.
It is expected by officials of the bu
reau that qualified men now engaged
in supervising the collection of liquor
taxes will be, used in the enfoicement
of national prohibition.

Visit to Mooseheart.
Editor Daily Item:
When I left Chicago on the 23rd of |
June, I promised to write you about :
Mooseheart, and this is the first time j
I have bad a chance for a few minutes;
to put down my impressions about j
this place, because after leaving Chi- !
cago I have encountered bad roads I
all along the line, and* every evening j
I was so tired I could not concentrate
my mind on any single subject. Since
my arrival home. I found so much
work on my desk, that it will take me
a good many days yet before I can
have my desk cleared up enough to
look at the world again.
As to the trip as a whole I may
write something in the future, when
! business is not so rushing, and my
head is clearer, at present I only want
to tell you a few things about Moose
heart, for the benefit of the members
of the order at Sumter, as weli as for
the information of those who are in
terested in fraternal endeavor.
The Loyal Order of Moose is a fra
ternal organization of recent and mod
ern structure, born in St. Louis, in
1887. and now counting over half
million members in the United States.
It is a fraternal organization pattern
ed after many old orders, exempli
fied on modern lines. While it has
social features of a very high type, its
principal object is the practice of
fraternity among its membership and
their dependents, believing in aid love
and progress. The headquarters or
Supreme Lodge is situated at Moose
heart. 111., in the Fox river valley
about 35 miles east of Chicago, where
they own a tract of land about 1,014
Hcres and where all the buildings, halls
and schools and farm are located.
Among its membership are several
governors of States, senators, mayors,
business and professional men in
cluding ex-president Roosevelt and
Vice President Marshal.
On the 22nd of June I had the
pleasure of attending| the Supreme
Lodge Convention, and it was a great
occasion from the character of men
who made and composed it. Each
man who made a unit in this assem
blage was one who, in his own home
raised his "antlers" above the herd; a
man who had room in his heart for
love of his kind, for patriotic devotion
to his country, for sympathy for all
affiliction and distress, and who had
also executive power and mental alert
ness to give practical form and direc
tion to the impulses of the heart. Here
men of common purpose and inspira
tion have built a foundation of ab
solute fraternity, a. home and school
for the orphan which shall have' no
taint of charity, and no suspicion of
alms-giving. To me it was a most
momentous occasion to witness a bus
iness meeting of mankind which
calls from their various engrossing
pursuits, thousands of active men to
journey across vast stretches of a
great continent to foregather in rural
fields, remote from scenes of excite
ment, unlured by hope of amuse
ment, undrawn by motives of selfish
interest or personal ambition, yet in
tent and striving to serve and give and
promote for the welfare of those in
need or vdistress. It is wholesome, it
is inspiring, it is great.
At the present, there are 720 or
phaned and needy Moose children,
ranging from one to 17 years of age,
that are housed, fed, educated and
trained at Mooseheart. Each one is
taken care of and looked after until
they become self-sustaining and pro
vided for the pursuit of natural life
and enjoyment.
Here are buildings to take care of
all the inhabitants of this little city,
its managers, teachers, mechanics and
laborers. They have their own kin
dergarten, primary and grammar
schools, colleges, dormitories, ma
chine shops, dairies, gardens, planta
tions, swimming pools, skating rink,
baseball parks, athletic halls, print
m~ plant, department store, stock
yard, barber shop and everything its
inhabitants need.
The child re nare taken care of from
infancy, by competent teachers and
are made to live like in their own
I homes, with their own parents, in
| stilling the home-like character in
i every child. They are educated in all
! branches of literature, arts, sculpture,
j medicine, law. agriculture, botany,
j architecture, etc.
j I have seen the finest cows and
I horses right there at Moosebeart
j from their own herds. The finest
I plantation 1 have ever seen, the finest
j poultry and last but not the least, the
finest average set of youngsters in the
country. Tin y also have a very large
brass band, an orchestra, and junior
! choir and if you want to be enthused
j and enthralled you should have
i heard the opening ode sang by 500
young Moose. To describe every item
in detail would take up entirely tqo
much of your valuable space, so I
merely give you a glimpse of things
! as they are.
AU the expenses for maintaining
Mooseheart is derived from dues paid
I by the mebership at large, and from
j personal contributions, of its mem
i bership. and it is fully'worth it and
more so.
To see these things with your own
eyes, and realize the possibilities of
fraternal accomplishments through
the instrumentalities of the human
proclivities of friendly companionship
is a very pleasant sensation to any
J one possessing a human heart. Even
before the idays of civilization, the
aborigines used to live together in
tribes and companies or circles. It is
J absolutely unnaturai for human be
j ings to live for themselves alone, be
I cause we are social beings, lovers of
[social intercourse and companionship,
I The knowledge that is derived from
! the fact of contributing a share of the
j service that makes other happy or rer
I lieves any one in distress is the greats
I est joy of life. Those who are living
! for self alone, and are always on the
.'alert for their own selfish benefit, are
i neither happy to themselves, nor are
j they contributing any part to .civilr
j ization. The fact that within tiie
i borders of the United States there are
approximately eighteen million, men
who are members of fraternal organ
izations are well worthy of consider
! ations. Respectfully,
S. L. Krasnoff.

j measures agaisl the submarine ? we
j were also developing a defensive or
[offensive system of convoyingNships.
J Admiral Sims, for whom I have the
j highest regard, and whose assistance
I was always valuable. looked upon the
I convoy as an offensive system be
j cause if submarines could be attrac
i ted to the convoy the destroyers had
jan opportunity of dealing with them.
At first we had not sufficient cruisers
and destroyers for convoys, but the
success of the system was shown al
most immediately we had."
