MADOO URGES U. S. TEST RAILROAD CONTROL FOR 5 YEARS
Continued From Page 1.
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
grlod so that the flnancing of these
provements could be successfully
carried 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
it should be done. In my opinion 1t is
the only practicable and reasonable
method of determining the right so
lution of this grave economic prob
lem.”
Senator Smith’s View.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
chairman of the Senate Interstate
Commerce committee, to whom Sec
retary McAdoo's letter was addressed,
told the Senate he believed 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
letter that the plan proposed had the
approval of the President.
“It 18 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 rail
roads,” Kellogg said. “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 i.egislation.
Kellogg declared the Interstate
Commerce committee should be im
mediately called together to frame
legislation te allow the railroads to
co-ordinate their facilities, under
strong Government control and to
give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission authority not only to regu-
Jate service and rezulate rates, bhut
alen tn compe! unified service. He
had been told, Kellogg said, that the
railroads this year would run $200,-
006 000 behind.
The committee should inquire Into
this from competent sources, he bhe
lieved. Senator Smith gave notice
that he would call a special meeting
of the committee to inquire into the
whole problem next Thursday. |

Lieutenant John F. Mclnnis, who has
been in charge of the military police
department in Atlanta for the last eight
months, has recelved an honorable dis
charge from military service, and will
leave Thursday night for his home in

Lieutenant Mclnnis will be succeeded
by Lieutenant John G. Hewitt, of Louis
iana, a son of United States Senator

the Replacement Regiment at Camp
Gordon.
Members of the military police will
give a farewell dinner to Lieutenant Mc-
Innjs Thursday night, and it is reported
that plans are being made in Boston
for a delegation to receive him upon

Roll Call is announced, from Thursday,
December 19, to the sunday following,
December 19, to the Sunday following,
spectacle will be presanted 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 sclected 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 ap&)ro‘prlate climax and close of
the great Christmas Roll Call.
In everr department of the campaign
prgsress s 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:}uar!ers in the
Healey Building in conference with the
,central execulive committee of the Roll
Call, and nearly every one was able to
report that all his ward captains have
been appointed and have accepted their
work.,
| To Assign Captalnes.
Each ward chairman, and each chalr
man of a town in Fulton County, is ex
pected to hold a meeting of his captains

to divide the territory and assign cap
tains to streets and blocks to be can

“These meetings are more important,
just now, than any other detall of the
Roll Call,” stated Chairman R. K. Ram
bo Thursday. *“ln order to cover the
city and the county in a thorough man
ner next Monday night it will be abso
lutely necessary to get the ward and
town organizations comrloted at once, I
will send a apenkor tonight to the home
of each ward chalrman, or to anfr other
place selected by him for holding his
meeting, and will assist the chairmen In
every way possible."”
In a geneml way the Christmas Roll

roll them as members of the Red Cross
for the year 1919, collecting their dollars
as they go.

‘ateh, Bracel ~_ete, account
u'&uo»f“.lrwn pen
By JOHN T. PARKERSON,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. 8,
LONDON, Dec. I%.—America's
friendly 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 daily from the national
committee 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 carcful survey of the territory
and personal interivews with King
Albert and prominent officlals of the
American relief 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,
Situmtion Is Critical.
On all sldes 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 Elizabeth was deeply touched
at the memory of what America did
for Belgium.
“l 1 will never forget America's aid,”
she explained.
Then the Germans were still oceu
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
France was shown by this declara
tion of a high German officer to a
commissioner who was distributing
food:
“T am here as accompanying officer
with you because I have got to obey
orders, but if I 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 soon,
