In Interview Former Austrian
Emperor Says Situation Is
Grave and Assistance Is
Needed Immediately
VIENNA. Sunday. Nor. 24.—(8y
Associated Press! Declaring
there is pressing need in Austria for
assistance from America and the al
lies, former Emperor Charles of Aus
trla-Hungary insisted today the dan
Ker of Bolshevism is very great tn
his country. It was tn conversation
with a correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press that the former sover
eign told of the peril which is im
pending.
The former emperor, his wife and
five children. Otto. Robert. Felix. Carl
and Adelheid, are at Eckertsau
castle. With them are a few faith
ful men and women, including Count
Alexander Esterhazy. former chief of
court to the emperor, and nasal Cap
tain Seedank. An interview with
the former emperor was granted aft
er the request had been transmit
ted through the president of the
council of the German-Austrian re
public. The correspondent was then
permitted to motor some 25 miles
t® the castle, which is located In
z the center of a vast plain devoted
to farming. This plain Is doited here
and there with clusters of villages.
Eckertsau castle is constructed of
stone and is surrounded by trees. It
is guarded by a few soldiers, al
though there are scarcely any call
ers. The building dates from the >
twelfth century, but its large rooms .
were remodelled a century ago and
later handsomely furnished, so that,
the castle now appears to be mete- j
ly a luxurious country place.
As the correspondent entered the;
gates he was met by Captain Seedans
and conducted through a lofty hall
to the second story of the castle.'
where ho was received by the former '
emperor. Charles wore a general s
uniform and was apparently vigor
ous. but lines about bls blue eyes
gave hints of the stress of recent
da ya He appeared to feel keenly'
that great tragedy that has come
through the collapse of his empire, j
but he cordially greeted the cor
respondent. shaking hands with a
strong, friendly grip.
Motioning the correspondent to a
chair tn the center and taking an
other himself, the former emperor
spoke first tn English and then lapsed i
Into French.
Charles* Statement
**l authorize the Associated Press |
to say that not a single day should
be lost by America and the allies In |
helping the people here, so grave is >
the situation." he said. “During the '
war one of my preoccupations was
the task of obtaining food for the
soldiers and people, but now. not- ■
withstanding all my efforts, it is
most distressing to find there is .
none left for them. If America and
the allies do not recognize this fact,
suffering here will be very great
within a few weeks. Indeed, it is,
already so and every day we do not ;
use In the endeavor to get food is
a day lost. •
“We have done our best and more
cannot be done. If food and coal is
not brought we shall have disorder
in Vienna.
"Possibly that disorder from Rus
sia which we call Bolshevism will
come. The people hert are fine, kind
and patient, but when any one is
without food he is apt to do many
unusual and violent things. Look
ing back, we may recall that Bol
shevism started in Russia because
of the lack of food. I think it is in
the interest of the allies to aid us. as
Bolshevist.;, when started, may
spread and become a danger to the
allies, too.
"Our coal and food situation is
worse because of transportation con
dltions. The railroads became bad
ly disorganized lately. I am very
glad to see an American, who repre
sents a country which is working
for peace. I have worked for peace
always.
Discusses Future
"Regarding the future—l cannot
speak of the past—l can only re
peat that I feel 1 did my duty. How
ever. I do hope that peace will bring
good fortune, happier days and a bet

38.000 A NY SOON
By 1919 1,000,000 Here
and Abroad Should Be Re
leased —Occupation Force
Soon to Be Reduced
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25—Dis
’ charge of American soldiers on this
side is expected to reach a daily
rate of 30,900 by the end of the
week, or early next week.
Machinery for demobilizing them
has been speeded up now' that the
initial organization work has been
completed. The system of recording
men. while fairly intricate, is in
charge of experienced personnel of
ficers at each camp and cantonment,
and no difficult}- is being experienc
ed anywhere.
With the flow at 30,000 or better
a day the new year should find more
than 1,000.000 men freed both In
this country and abroad. The situ
ation with respect to demobilization
overseas is complicated by the ton
nage situation. England is under
stood to desire to withdraw some of
her transports from American serv
ice quickly, hence this may slow up
home-comings. The eight divisions
already ordered back should be un
der way fairly soon, however.
Army men were of the opinion to
day that the thirty-division limit cn
the army of occupation would be
quickly reduced afted the thirteen
divisions above that- limit are sent
back. The German army is unable
to renew the war. And It is held
here that probably far fewer men
than thirty divisions can adequately
police the Rhine lands.
The thirty divisions will be strip- '
ped of certain auxiliary units neces- '
sary to occupation, hence it is like
ly that the strength of the remain
der will not run over 900,000 or 1,-
009,000.

STRASBOURG. Nov. 24.—(Night.) I
The lost provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine are again wholly French,
through the formal occupation of
their capital today by French troops.
The population received the Toilus
with great enthusiasm.
Evidence was obtained today that
the Germans are taking American
prisoners to the rear to fatten them
up on good food before liberating
them, as a result of an Investiga
tion by a Germap prisoners’ com
mission, which Is afraid to permit
the return of the Yanks In their
present emaciated condition. The
Americans have been working for
months in mines fifteen miles from
the front, laboring eleven hours a
day without sufficient food or cloth
ing, according to officers who es
caped rather than wait for this de
layed liberation.
According to these officers, the con
ditions in the enlisted men's camps
and their treatment were atrocious.
Eugene Scroggy, of Des Moines,
an aviator of the "Gimper Squad
ron,” who was wounded and taken
prisoner, was liberated from the
Karlsruhe prison camp for a day by
the Germans that he might act as
their plenipotentiary in arranging
the possible sending of prisoners di
rectly across the Rhine instead of
through Switzerland. He was ao- '
com pan led by a British colonel and '
a French major.
These plans are now developing.
Scroggy returned tonight to the
Boche guards, waiting at a Rhine
bridge, to keep his parole.

Death on Battlefield;
Member of the 82d
Thomas Sparks Teaubeaut, w.dely
known and popular young Atlantlan
and member of an old and prominent
south Georgia family, has met death
on a French battlefield while serving
with the Eighty-second division, ac
cording to Monday official casualty
list, which brought relatives in this
city the first news of the young sol
dier's tragic passing.
Familiarly known as “Steamboat”
Teaubeaut during his athletic careci
at several southern universities, tnis
Georgia boy is the brother of Mrs.
William Candler, of 64 Springdale
road. He had made his home with
Mr. and Mrs. Candler and his mother,
Mrs. Rena S. Teaubeau. now resides
there. A second sister. Miss Oda
Teaubeaut, also lives in Atlanta.
Young Teaubeaut was the son of
D. B. Teaubeaut, president of the
Cuthbert Banking company Cuthbert,
Ga., and was himself a native of that
town. He was a graduate of Dah
lonega and had attended both Au
burn and Emory universities. During
his college days he was a leading
spirit in the student life, figured
prominently as a baseball star, was
a member of the Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity and entered the business
world with an A. B. degree.
For several years he had been
connected with the Central Bank
and Trust Corporation, of Atlanta,
leaving his position there to accept
the place of assistant cashier with
the Moultrie Banking company, Moul
trie, Ga. In the latter part of April
he volunteered in the nation’s serv
ice, left Moultrie and was assigned
tp the Three Hundred and Twenty
eighth infantry. Eighty-second divl
i sion, Camp Gordon.
Throdfeh his exceptionally fitness
i and ability as an accountant he wao
' immediately honored by transfei to
the headquarters company of the
regiment and despite his limited mili
tary training was considered com
' peter.t to accompany the Eighty
second overseas. He arrived in France
just five weeks after ne donned the
khaki at the local cantonment
The last message to reach voung
Teaubeaut's relatives here was dated,
in September and stated that **o:g
' things” were imminent that he could
not disclose. The supposition is that
; he had reference to the great Ameri-
I can victory at St. Mihiel, that he
passed through this engagement in
safety only to fall before the Huns
during the terrific fighting encounter
ed by the Eighty-second division at
the Arfgor.ne forest. Sparks Teau
beaut, as he was best known to
scores of friends in Atlanta and
throughout the state, was twenty
four years old and the news that
he is among the American heroes who
have given their all for humanity's
cause will occasion profound and
lasting grief to all who knew him.

Sunday afternoon in five special cars
and will leave Monday night for Pen
sacola, Fla., and Mobile, Ala., passing
through Milledgeville, Ga.. where Mr.
McAdoo spent the years of his early
■ boyhood.
With him on this trip are Direc
tors John Skelton Williams. C. R.
Gray and W. C. Carter: Oscar A.
Price, assistant to the director gen
eral, and D. C. Porteus, director of
' the division of finance and purchase.
; Mr. Williams is also comptroller ot
the currency.
“The south has not presented such
complex transportation problems as
other sections of the country—the
east, for instance —but whenever the
main artery of tr file to the eastern
ports has become clogged the south
ern roads have felt the effect through
the damming up of traffic like the
backwater from a millpond when the
gates are closed,” continued the di
rector general.
Freight Problem Sard
“One of the hardest tasks that we
have had to handle is the movement
of freight from terminals in the
large cities. That is the problem
that is troubling us right now and
it is absolutely necessary to impress
upon the business men of the south
that freight must be moved without
delay. Otherwise thousands of cars
will be tied up and transportation
badly complicated.”
"What effect do you anticipate
from the lifting of the embargo on
cotton?” he was asked.
"I do not believe that much con- ;
gestion will result,” replied Mr. Mc-
Adoo, "for I think the shipment ol
cotton from inland points to seaports
will be So controlled as to limit
'the amount of cotton received for
export to the capacity of ships avail
able at the various ports.”
Asked as to the possibility or
probability of ’the railroads being
continued under federal control or
taken over permanently by the gov
ernment, the director general de
dined to discuss the matter in de
tail, although he indicated that the
government should be given an op
portunity to demonstrate Its ability
to handle the roads under norma)
conditions for a reasonable period
of time.
“What do you expect to do when
you turn over your post to your
successor?” was the next query.
“Well, first of all. 1 am going to
take one long and satisfying vaca
tion,” he answered.
“And then I expect-to take up the
practice of law. Folks wonder how
a lawyer can run a lot of railroads,
but the answer is easy. All you have
to do is to get some good men to
do it for you. I can build a hpdse
if 1 get a good architect.
"It’s like the point of a little
sketch 1 heard one time in a musi
cal comedy. There were a couple of
fellows planning to go into the ship
ping business. One of them was out
lining the duties of the other and
told him that his job would be to
build all the ships
