FRIDAY, DEC. 13th
Washington, December B.—Presi
jent Wilson, in a proclamation made
public today, calls on every American
to join the American Red Cross
christmas Roll Call week, December
16 to 23, “and thus send forth to the
whole human family the Christmias
greeting for which it awaits and for
which it stands in greatest need.”
The proclamation, prepared before
the president departed for Europe,
follows:
«The White House, Washington,
p. C., November 26, 1918. To the
American People: One year ago
twenty-two million Americans, by
enrolling as members «of the Red
Cross at Chritmas time, sent to the
men who are fighting our battles
overseas a stimulating message of
cheer and good will. They made it
clear that our people were of their
own free choice united with their
sovernment in the determination not
only to wage war with the instru
ments of destruction, but also by
every menas in their power to repair
».he ravages of the invader and sus
tain and renew the spirit of the army
and of the homes which they repre
sented. The friends of the Red Cross
in Italy, Belgium and France have
'lold, and will tell again, the story
of how the Red Cross workers re
stored morale in the hospitals, in the
camps, and at the cantonments, and
we ought to be very proud that we
have been permitted to be of service
to those whose sufferings and whose
olory are the heritage of humanity.
“Now by God’s grace, the Red
Cross Chritmas message of 1918 is
to be a message of peace as well as
a message of good will. But peace
does not mean that we can fold our
hands. It means further sacrifice.
Our membership must hold together
and be increased for the great tasks
t ocome. We must prove conclus
ively to an attentive world that
America is permanently aroused to
the needs of the new era, our old in
difference gone forever.
“The exact nature of the fu
ture service of the Red Cross will
depend upon the program of the as
sociated governments, but there is
immediate need today for every
heartening word and for every help
ful service. We must not forget that
our soldiers and sailors and still un
der orders and still have duties to
perform of the highest consequences
and that the Red Cross Christmas
membership means a great deal to
them. The people of the saddened
lands, moreover, returning home to
day where there are no homes must
have the assurance that the hearts
of our people are with them in the
dark and doubtful dayvs ahead. Let
us, so far as we can, help them back
to faith in mercy and in future hap
piness.
“As president of the Red Cross,
conscious in this great hour of thei
value of such a message from the
American people, I should be glad if
every American would join the Red}
Cross for 1918 and thus send forth;
to the whole human family the
Christmas greeting for which it waits}
and for which it stands in greatest
need. |

GEORGIA’S HISTORY
IN GREAT WORLD WAR
Plans for the publication of a
World War History of the State of
Georgia, as announced on December
Ist by John H. Jones editor of the
LaGrange Reporter, and his associ
ates, have struck a chord of broad
public interest, and Mr. Jones has
been kept buisy all the past week re
ceiving pledges of hearty co-opera
tion from every section of the state.
It is stated by Mr. Jones that the
object of the movement is to pre
serve for future generatlons, in con
cise, authoritative form, the records
of the part taken so gloriously by
Georgia and her counties in the
greatest war in all history. In order
to assure the highest approach to per
fection within human power, and ad
visory board is being organized to
co-operate and advise with Mr. Jones
in the compliation of this history.
This advisory board will be com
posed of high state officials, includ
ing Governor Dorsey, who has given
his warm official endorsement to the
project, Lucian Lamar Knight, state
historian, and M. L. Brittain, state
superintendent of schools; and also
editors of leading daily newspapers
of the state, Paul T. Harber, presi
dent of the Georgia Press Associa
tion, and others. Announcement of
the board’s full membership wil be
made upon its completion at an early
date.
In accepting membership on this
important’ board, Lucian Lamar
Knight, state historian, said in part:
“Since learning the scope of your
splendind entreprize, to preserve in
permanent form a record of Georgia's
part in the world conflict, I wish to
assure you without hesitation, and
in the most enthusiastic terms, of
my approval, and to assure you fur
ther of my willingness to co-operate
with you in every way toward this
end.
“Every one feels a vital interest
in the great war and is anxious to see
Georgia’s part therein fully preserv
ed. There is not a home in the state
which has not made its sacrifices
upon the altar, and which has not felt
the shadow of loss. All are parti
cipants in the glorious victory, in the
wake of which an enterprise like
the one you propose is most oppor
tune.
“It will give me pleasure to serve
on the advisory board, and to assist
you from time to time in furtherance
of the enterprise.”
Many prominent women of the
state have writen to Mr. Jones in
heartiest terms of approval, and have
promised strong support of the move
ment. Among them is Mrs. Herbert
Mitchell Franklin, of Tennille, state
president of the U. D. C., and chair
man of war relief of womeh’s pat
riotic societies, Georgia Historical
Association. It is realized by those
who have launched the the move
ment that the women of the state,
who have performed a large part of
Georgia’s war services, will also play
a vast part in the compliation of this
history, and they are urged to write
freely their suggestions and offers
of support to Mr. Jones, at post

AFTER ILLNESS |
When Your System Needs Strength, After a
Slek Spell, Try Ziron.
Your blood must have iron to give
your body strength. Leck of {iron
makes many people pale, weak and
ianguid. To put iron into your blood,
take Ziron Iron Tonic. Especially af
ter a severe illness do you need Ziron
to bring back appetite and build up
weakened vitality.
J. E. Clifton, of R. F. D. 3, Lyons,
Ga., writes: “Last summer I had ty
phoid fever and had hemorrhages of
the bowels and my health was wretch
ed. I seemed to be unable to get my
strength back. I bad no appetite, I
had no energy, I didn’t think I was
ever going to get weil, My knees were
weak, my flesh felt clammy, I was in
a pretty bad condition. I heard of
Ziron and what a good tonic and
strengthener it was, and I sent for it
at once. It helped me. I began to
jmprove and soon felt much better and
stronger.”

for you. Get a bottle today. It s
guaranteed. ZN2 |

One of the last steps in progress
toward peace will be the demobiliza
tion of the alien enemies held at in
ternment camps. They wil not be re
leased by the Department of Justice
until an executive order is handed
down by President Wilson, which is
not expected until the peace treaty
has been signed and approved.
“Every man interned was arrested
because, as an alien enemy, his free
dom was regarded as a danger to the
country,” said one official tonight.
‘““Naturally we do not expect to re
lease them until all danger is past.”
The department has not announced
the number of men and women in
terned during the war and will not
do so for the present.
INCREASED FEDERAL AID
FOR HIGHWAY BUILDING
Judging from a recent statement
by Secretary Houston, one of the
Administration’s leading policies in
the ‘period of reconstruction upon
which we are entering will be the
developement of national highways.
Said the Secreary, in the course of
a conference with editors of agri
cultural magazines:
“There wil be many things suggest
ed for which Federal and State funds
will be sought. Some of these will
be unworthy. Clearly such public
works as roads are worthy, and it
would be in the public interest to
make available larger appropriations
from the Federal treasury te be used
separately or in conjunction with
State and local support—The suges
tions have been canvassed with the
President, the Secretary of War and
the Postmaster General, and they are
in accord with the view that addition
al funds should be made available to
this department and that they should
be expended through existing ma
chinery.”
That machinery, it may be noted,
is the public roads office of the De
partment of Agriculture and the
State highway commissions. Thru
these agencies working in hearty co
operation under the provisions of the
Federal Aid Road act, the way has
been prepared for an era of efficient
road building such as this country
has never known. Throughout the
Union, surveys, plans and specifica
tions for highway extension and im
provement have been made so that in
considering future projects the offi
cials will have at hand just the data
needed for their guidance to prompt
and wise decisions.
Thus road building can be carried
forward more expeditiously and more
economically than ever before. The
original appropriations made under
the Federal Aid Road Act were ad
visedly small because the plan was
then experimental. But now that it
has justified itself beyond peradven
ture and is firmly established upon a
basis of the surest efficiency and the
broadest service, Congress can well
afford to grant appropriations more
nearly commensurate with the vast
importance of the cause.—Atlanta

JUDGE JOHN C. HART
KILLED BY ACCIDENT
Judge John C. Hart, state tax com
missioner, and one of the most prom
inent jurists in Georgia, was almost
instantly killed early Saturday aft
ernoon, when the gun he was carry
ing was discharged while he was on
a hunting trip near Union Point, Ga.
In the party with Judge Hart was
Stanley: Matthewson, his nephew,
with whom he lived in the city. Ac
cording to phone mesages that were
received in Atlanta early Saturday
night, Judge Hart was crossing a
stream, when, in some manner, he
stumbled, causing the weapon to dis
charge, wounding him in the throat
just below the left ear. He was
dead, it is said, within ten minutes.
Judge Hart was one of the most
distinguished citizens of the state.
He was 65 years of age, and until
he moved to Atlanta, a few years
ago, lived his whole life in his native
town of Union Point, Greene county.

on Thursday night a grand Masque

ring very inclement weather, this is
bound to be a most interesting affair.
It is perhaps unnecessary for us
to say a word about the great work
of the Red Cross and the need of
funds for it’s support. We are ad
vised that this year it will ask direct
ly for contributions for the tubercu
losis fund. Heretofore they have
issued and sold Christmas stamps to
raise this, but this year it is possible
that they wish to avoid the additional
expense of the stamps.
Of course there can be no more hu
mane and Christian work than that
of the Red Cross so if you believe
in humanity you will do your best
now to see that the membership is
universal, |
It is the most unselfish work in the
world, can we say more? |
