M’ADOO URGES U. S. TEST RAILROAD CONTROL FOR 5 YEARS

ficers and employees. It would admit
of the preparation and carrying out
of a comprehensive program of im- |
provements to the railroads and their
terminal facilities which would im
mensely increase the efficiency of the
transportation machine. It would put
back of the railroads the credit of the
United States during the five-year
m«i so that the flnancing of these
rovements could be successfully
earried out. It would offer the neces- ‘
sary opportunity under proper condi- |
tions to test the value of unified con
trol, and the experience thus gained
would of itself indicate the permanent
solution of the railroad problem. |
“The American people have a right
to have this test. They should not be
denied it. It is to their interest that
1t should be done. In my opinion it is
the only practicable and reasonable
method of determining the right so
lutfon of this grave economic prob-
Jem.” |
Senator Smith’s View. |
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
chairman of the Senate Interstate
Commerce committee, to whom Sec
potary McAdoo’'s letter was addressed,
told the Senate he belleved McAdoo
had only expressed his opinion and
had not put forward any hard and
fast plan.
Kellogg called attention to the
statement at the end of the McAdoo
Jetter that the plan proposed had the
approval of the President.
“It 1s a most remarkable docu
ment, coming only a few days after
the President had told the Congress
he had no plan and no judgment on
what shall be done with the rall
roads,” Kellogg sald. “Here we have
a deliberate, well considered plan,
which Secretary McAdoo says has the
President’s approval. I say it is a
remarkable circumstance.”
Favors New <egislation.
Rellogg declared the Interstate
Coammerce committee should be im
rodiately called together to frame
le vielation to allow the railroads to
cn-o-dinate their facilities, under
stron2 (Government control and to
give the Interstate Commerce Com
migcion authority not only to regu-
Irte service and regulate rates, but
alan to compel unified service. He
had heen told Kellogg sald, that the
rail=nade this year would run $200,-
nno ~nH hehind.
The committee ghould inquire into
this from competent sources, he be
tavad Senator Smith gave notice
that he would call a special meeting
of the committee to inquire into the
whole problem next Thursday.

Davison, chairman; and Mrs. Irving S. Thomas.

Lieutenant John F. Mclnnis, who has
been in charge of the military police
department in Atlanta for the last eight
months, has received an honorable dis
charge from military service, and will
leave Thursday night for his home In
Boston, Mass.
Lieutenant Meclnnis will be succeeded
by Lieutenant John G. Hewitt, of Louis
jana, a son of United States Senator
Hewitt, of that State, who comes from
the Replacement . Regiment at Camp
Gordon.
Members of the military police will
give a farewell dinner to Lieutenant Mc-
Innis Thursday night, and it is reported
that plans are being made in Boston
for a delegation to receive him upon
his arrival He was a detective ser
geant on the Boston police force before
entering the military service, and is a
veteran of the Spanish war
Lieutenant Carl F. Jones, who has
been Lieutenant Meclnnis' righthand
man, will remain with Lieutenant Hew.
itt in the office at the police station.
A change in the date of the great
masque of the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call is announced, from Thursday,
December 19, to the sunday following,
December 19, to the Sunday following,
| spectacle will be presapted at the Audi
'torium-Armory twice, in the afternoon,
"in place of the regular Sunday after
| noon entertainment of the War Camp
Community Service, and in the eve
ning. The change was deemed advis
able on account of the huge scope of the
spectacle, which was written especially
for the Christmas Roll Call by Percy
Mackaye. It is offered here under the
gifted direction of Mrs. W. C. Jarnagin,
who has selected the very best local
talent for the various roles.
The performances of the masque will
be given free and every one is invited
to see them. Being set for Sunday in
stead of Thursday, the masque will af
ford an a%)roprlate climax and close of
the great Christmas Roll Call.
In everr department of the campalign
progress 1s rapid and satisfactory, Wed
nesday afternoon the ward chairmen
who will have charge of the house-to
house canvass in the ten city wards of
Atlanta met at head(}uarters in the
' Healey Building in conference with the
central executive committee of the Rall
,Cnll. and nearly every one was able to
report that all his ward captains have
been appointed and have accepted their
work.
To Assign Captalns.
Each ward chairman, and each chalr
man of a town in Fulton County, is ex
pected to hold a meeting of his captaing
ielther at his home or other convenient
| meeting place, not later than Thursday
levenlng. These meetings are to be held
to divide the territory and assign cap
tains to streets and blocks to be can
vassed by them in the drive Monday
night,
“These meetings are more important,
.Lust now, than any other detail of the
! Roll Call,” stated Chairman R. K. Ram
|bo Thursday. “In order to cover the
! eity and the county in a thorough man
| ner next Monday night it will be abso
{ lutely necessary to get the ward and
'tnwn organizations completed at once. 1
| will send a speaker tonight to the home
tof each ward chalrman, or to any other
place select v him for holding his
| pl lected b( hi for holdi hi
. meeting, and will assist the chairmen In
| every way possible.”
i In'a gnneral way the Christmas Roll
t Call embraces three main features:
i First, the house-to-house canvass,
| when neighborhood committees will go
|into the homes of the I)eople and en
‘roll them as members of the Red Cross
| for the year 1919, collecting their dollars
.as they go.

Knowing Atlanta's regular habit of
doing big things in a big way, other
cities In the Southern division of the
Red Cross have set their stakes to enroll
a vast number of new members in the
Christmas drive. ‘
Memphis, with a population of 150,000,
has given notice to the couniry that
she is g)ing to enroll 150,000 members
for the Red Cross, thereby makln%her-l
self a 100 per cent Red Cross city. Nash
ville, Chattanooga, Birmingham and
numerous other cities have mapped
elaborate campaigns, in which they gro
posed to make a clean sweep of their
entire populations.
Work Among Industries,
An important department of the drive
here will be a general clean-up for
members in the manufacturing and
wholesale lines. James J. Ragan, who
handled this division with such fine effi
ciency in the recent united war work
campaign, has been appointed by Chair
man Rambo to line it up for the Red
Cross Roll Call,
After the house-to-house canvass, and
after the women with membership
booths have got well started, the di
vision headed by Mr. Ragan will make
a thorough canvass of all men and
‘women employed in manufacturing

By JOHN T. PARKERSON,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S,
LONDON, Dec. 12.-—America's
frigndly hand was never more needed
in Belgium and Northern France than
now. There are 900,000 workmen un
employed in Belgium, depending upon
small sums dally from the national
committée to keep the wolf from the
door. All are looking to America to
keep them going.
The enthuslasm in the first flush of
Allied victory Is now giving way to a
realization of the appalling conditions
and the actual needs of the millions
in Belgium and Northern France,
A careful survey of the territory
and personal Interivews with King
Albert and prominent officlals of the
Amerfean rellef associations reveal
the first authentic account of the sit
uation, the acuteness of which has
been accentuated by the continued
whining and dickering of the Ger
mans over the armistice terms.
Situation Is Critical.
On all sides anxiety is expressed
lest there be a slackening of food
production and shipments from the
United States to Belgium and North
ern France.
There must be a proper apprecia
tion of the critical period through
which this stricken land is passing.
When King Albert recently grasped
my hand at the conclusion of an in
terview, he said:
“l knew Americans first as gener
ous friends. Now I know them as
comrades in arms. I am proud to
have commanded American troops in
the closing days of the war.”
Queen Elizaheth was deeply touched
at the memory of what America did
for Belgium,
“I will never forget America's aid,”
she explained.
Then the Germans were still ocen
pying part of Belgium. Now the King
and Queen are back with their peo
ples, but their hearts are sad at the
conditions they found. They are
looking to the United States now as
never before, ?
| German “Chivalry.”
A sample of German chivalry and
humanitarianism toward the stricken
people of Belgium and Northen
Franee was shown by this declara
tion of a high German officer to a
commlissioner who was distributing
food:
~ “T am here as accompanying officer
‘with you because I have got to obey
‘orders, but if T had my way I would
put all of these people inside barbed
'wire and let them starve to death.”
~ This German was not an exception
to the rule, but one who was consid
ered above the average officer in in
telligence,
\ It will require the introduction of
new machinery, belting and tools in
the Belgian factories, largely through
the efforts of President Wilson, be
fore they can begin to operate again,
The mines in Belgium, with the ex
ception of two of them, are intact and
can be operated soomn,
