. BREST, FRANCE, Dec. 13.—This
afterngon for the first time in nis
tory a President of the United States
lunded on Kuropean soil. Never was
# guest more welcome than Mr. \\'il-‘
sor. in France. It wouid be easy to
expatiate at length on the different
reasons which assure him a whole
hearted greeting from every section
of French opinion, bnt there is one
cause of cordiality common to all
clusses—it is eratitude for the
achievements of America in the war
and the hopes which France derives
from Mr. Wilson's activities for fu
ture peace.
There are people in this country
who seem to imagine he brings in his
rocket, some sort of cure, a kind of
patent medicine, which will rid the
world forever from its old malady of
war. They are not many, but the
whole country has derived a benefit
already from the loftiness of Mr.
Wilson’s thought and wish2s him well
in his efforts with the statesmen of
the Allies to translate the common
icea! of peace into lasting practice.
President Wilson lands with the
complete good will of all Frenchmen
freely given him., They do not look
to him as an arbiter, but as one who,
having been glorious by association
with the Allies in the war, has the
right to co-operate with them in
peace.
There are, nevertheless, certain dif
ficulties and cross currents in his
course down the river of peace. C?ne
of them is due to the imminence! of
the French general elections and an
{ll-concealed desire of certain politi
cal sections to “collar” the President
German Press Continues to
Appeal to Wilson for Aid
LONDON TIMES CABLE TO ATL‘ANTAA 9E‘QR9II'A.§. L i
LONDON, Dec. 13—The German
press daily continues its appeals to
President Wilson. Particularly char
acteristic is the leading article in The
Frankfurter Zeitung on December B
which begins by saying that it is a
long time until spring, when Presi
dent Wilson hopes for the conclusion
of peace and adds:
“Mr. Wilson will be able to attend
only a small part of the decisive ne
gotiations. This would ,be regrettable,
for, whatever we may think about him
otherwise; the American President is
for us Germans a guarantor for a
fair peace.”
Then follows the usual passage
about the horrible brutality of the
Allies—from whom America is always
dissociated in the German press. After
painting Germany's condition as help
lesg, The Frankfurter Zeitung says
Mr., Wilson “was never Germany's
friends,” but adds: “We Germans can
get more hope upon Mr. Wilsons' in

ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1918
Mrs. C. C. Dukes, of Milan, Ga., Sat
urday was pacing her room at the Hotel
Ansley, waiting for word from Pinker
ton detectives that they had found some
trace of her husband, president of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, of Milan,
who disappeared mysteriously last Tues
day. -
W. T. Gloer, assistant superintendent
of the Pinkerton agency and head of the
Atlanta bureau, expressed his conviction
that Dukes had been the prey of a
squad of confidence men who had suc
ceeded in obtaining large sums from
him, and declared he had evidence that
Dukes had left Atlanta at 4 o'clock
Tuesday morning in an automobile, in
company with four strange men.
In the meantime, the bank of which
Dukes is president was placed in the
hands of a receiver by its stockholders,
and an auditor is now engaged in going
over its books. According to reports
from financial authorities, the bank is
capitalized at $15,000, has a surplus of
$15,000, undivided profits of $6,000, and
loans outstanding on cotton warehouse
receipts of $33,000.
Mrs. Dukes has offered a reward of
SI,OOO for information which will read
to finding her husband. She declared
Saturday that their domestic relations
were happiness itself, and expressed the
opinion that her husband had met with
foul play.
Bought Velocipede.
Dukes came to Atlanta last Monday
night and registered at the Hotel Ans
ley. That night he wrote to Mrs. Dukes
to meet him at the station at Milan the
next night, as he a not ' seen his
man.”. On Tuesday ing he visited
a hardware store and bought a veloci
pede, which he expressed to his little
son at home. On Tuesday night Mrs.
Dukes met the train, but her husband
was not on board, and the next day she
came to Atlanta to find him
In a room of the hotel Mrs. Dukes
found his handbag and overcoat, indi
cating he had not expected to_leave the
room for any lergth of time She calied
the Pinkertons and set them to work
According to the Pinkertons, who set
about an investigation at once, Dukes
took his wife to the bank last .\'nln{'my
night, turned over to her several eys,
and explained some of his private affairs
to her, but as he was expecting to leave
for Atlanta on Monday this caused her
no surprise
Issued Big Checks,
It developed Saturday that the Fourth
National Bank, of Atlanta, and a Macon
bank each telegraphed this week to the
Citizens and Southern Bank, of Savan
nah, a correspondent of the Milan bank,
inquiring whether Duke's check for
$2,600 on the Milan bank was good. The
detectives took this to mean that two
checks for such amounts, or a total of
$5,000, had been presented by the al
leged confidence men
Photographs and circulars were being
prepared Saturday afternoon for distri
bution over the country in an effort to
locate Dukes He was descriped as be
ing 26 years old; height, 5 feet 9 inches;
weight, 130 pounds; sallow complexion;
gray eyes: large, prominent nose; slen
derly built; thin face, and has one tooth
out He wore a dark blue suit, pur
chased in Macon
Dukes had been In Milan a ltitle over
four years, it was learned, and had made
hundreds of friends there

Nations Must
(By International News Service.)
PARIS, Dec. 14—“ This has indeed
been a people's war,” President Wil
son declared here this afternon in an
address to a delegation of Socialists.
“It has been waged against absolut
ism and militarism, and these ene
mies of liberty must from this time
forth be shut out from the possibility
of working their cruel will upon man
kind.”
The text of the President's address
to the Socialist delegation follows:
“Gentlemen: 1 receive with great
interest the address which you have
just read to me. The war through
which we have just passed has illus
trated in a way which never can be
forgotten the extraordinary wrongs
which can be perpetrated by an ar
bitrary and irresporsible power.
' “It is not possible to secure the
happiness and prosperity of the
world, to establish an enduring peace,
unless the repetition of such wrongs
is rendered impossible. ~
“This has indeed been the people’'s’
war. It has been waged against ab
solutism and militarism, and these
enemies of liberty must from this
time forth be shut out from the pos
sibility of working their cruel will
upon mahkind. e
“In my judgment, it is not sufficient
to establish this principle. It is nec
essary that it should be supported by
a co-operation of the nations which
shall be based upon fixed and definite
covenants and which shall be certain
of effective action ghrough the in
strumentality of a league of nations.
I believe this to be the conviction of
‘ull thoughtful and liberal men.
“I am confident that this is the
thought of those who lead your own
great nation, and 1 am looking for
ward with peculiar pleasure to co
operating with them in securing
guarantees of a living peace of jus
tice and right dealing which shall
justify the sacrifices of this war and
cause men to look back upon those
sacrifices as upon the dramatic and
t'!n:nln processes of their emancipa
tion.

Savior of France
By Marshal Joiire
(By International News Service.)
ARIS, Dec. 14—“ l am think-
P ing of all he can do still and
of the thousands of French
men who were spared by the en
try of the United States into the
war,” declared Marshal Joffre in a
letter of welcome to President
Wilson, published here today.
“l join with all my soul in the
shout of all France today, ‘Long
Live the Unlted States and Their
President.’”
Kladden Dorris, 20, connected with
the Southern Dorris Company, arose
a little later than usual Saturday
morning, with a profound headache
arising from a magnificent wallop on‘
the back of his head, He was able lo‘
partake of a reasonable breakfast,
however, and to tell the members of
his family at No. 162 Formwalt street
the story of a peculiar and dangerous
adventure with a highwayman.
In the garage also was the big
Cadillac car, none the worse for llav-J
ing been stolen, now that the two
tires wounded by bullets have been
repaired, ;
It seems that at 11 o'clock Friday
night young Dorris was motoring
back from Fairburn, where it is pos-‘
sible he had been calling on his
sweetheart. Somewhere between Red
Oak and Kast Point he was hailed by
a negro, walking along the road in
the same direction,
“Say, boss, could you give a pore,
tired nigger a lift?" he asked,
In Pleasant Frame of Mind.
Dorris was in a pleasant and char
itable frame of mind, and he told the
negro to hop in. The car went trun
dling on its way, and Mr. Dorris was
well taken up with his pleasant re
flections and the necessity for watch
ing the shimmering ribbon of muddy
road. |
Mr, Dorris next recalls seeing stars
~—mpany of them, not arranged in a
fixed constellation, but dancing about
crankily to the accompaniment of dis
tant bells ringing and small birds
saying tweet-tweet.
The solemn fact is that Mr. Dorris
had been walloped over the head with
a large air pump. While he was still
trying to get the star dust out of his
eves the negro scrambled over into
the. seat beside him, took the wheel
from him, stopped the car and shoved
the business end of a large revolver
into his face.
“Giet out!” he commanded
Mr. Dorris got out. The opening at
the end of that revolver barrel looked
fully as large as that of a railway
tunnel, besides wHßich there were
tombstones and weeping willows to
be seen therein
The highwaymen let in the clutch
and vanished In the darkness, A
farmer came driving along and
stopped nt the hail of the still groggy
motorist. By the time they had jogged
into College Park, Dorris had a plan
of action He called up the Fast
Point police and told them to watch
out for Ih}‘ Caditlac
Officers’ Ewing and West, l'nmnnl~:
ing the East Point night constabu
lary, arranged themselves across the
prineipal thoroughfare and walted.
Along came the Cadillae
“Halt!"” shouted the constabulary in
unison,
No Vocal Reply.
There was no vocal reply, but the
Cadillac jumped as the highwayman
gtepped on her tail, She bounded
past the side-stepping police and
went whooping up the road. The (‘nn-t
gtabulary opened fire from all its re
volvers and the fire was returned nver'
the stern of the fleeing Cadillac, Other |
reports than revolver shots rang out.l
and the car began to pitech and he:nv--l
and skid. Both rear tires had been
hit
A block farther on, the car Hkir‘ldl'd‘
to an abrupt halt, and the robber|
leaped out and disappeared in a patch |
of woods
With him went $12.60, which Mr
Dorris did not miss until he was tak
ing stock while the tires were being
fixed, -’
“Phat nigger must have umrr'hed‘
me while the referee was mnxn!inz‘
ten,” he concluded And not much
later than the usual time Suluv'tl:\v'
morning he started down to work, nr'
at least to the oMce—lit was a really
severe headache, l
