NEAR EAST WAR
SUFFERERS FIND
WILSON A FRIEND
WASHNIGTON, Dee. 12.—Preparing
for a national drive for Armenian and
Syrian relief on the week of January
12-19, President Wilson, a few days
before he sailed for Europe, wrote the
following proclamation to the people I
of America for publication today, giv
ing the movement his indorsement and
pointing out the importance of as
sistance at this time in the rehlabilita-
i
tion of these war sufferers. The proc-,
lam at ion; /
“For more than three hundred years '
American philanthropy has been a
large factor in keeping alive Armen
ian, Syrian. Greek and other exiles
and refugees of Western Asia.
“On two former occasions I have ap
pealed to the American people in be
half of these homeless sufferers, whom
the vi< issitudes of war and massacre
had brought to the extremes! need.
“The response has been most gener
ous, but now the period of rehabili- J
tat ion is at hand. Vastly larger sumsj
will be required to restore these once’
prosperous, but now impoverished. |
refugees to their former homes than
were required merely to sustain life
in their desert exile.
“It is stimated that about 4.000,000
Armenian, Syrian. Greek and other
war sufferers in the Near East will re
quire outside help to sustain them
through the winter. Many of them are
now hundreds of miles from their
homeland. The vast majority of them
are helpless women and children in
cluding 400,000 orphans.
“The American Committee for Re
lief in the Near East is appealing for
a minimum of $30,000,000 to be sub
scribed January 12-19, 1918, with
which to meet the most urgent needs
of these people.
“1, therefore, again call upon the
people of the United States to make
even more generous contributions than
they have made heretofore to sustain
through the winter months those who,
through no fault of their own, have
been left in a starving shelterless con
dition. and to help re-establish these
ancient and sorely oppressed people in
their former homes on a self-support
ing basis. WOODROW WILSON. - ’

LAWSON STAPLETON
LANDS IN NEW YORK
Mr. and Mrs. Lawson Stapleton re
ceived a telegram last night from their
son, Lawson, Jr., who is in the naval
air service, jhat he had just landed in
New York from France. No other in
formation was given in the message.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Stapleton
received a telegram from Congressman
Crisp, at Washington, on the result of
inquiries concerning Mr. Stapletons’
two sons, as follows:
“War department reports no casual
ty to Frank. Report that he is all
right and with his company. Navy de
partment says they have report that
Lawson is present for duty at one of
the naval air stations in France and
is all right. According to all reports,
both are well and with their
commands.’’
Frank Stapleton is believed to be
with the American Army of occupa
tion in Germany. One report reaching
here, which has not been confirmed, is
that he has been promoted to the
rank of captain.
RAIN PREVENTS VISIT
OF STATE HOTEL MEN
Because of rain and the prospects
early in the morning of a downpour
all day, which would have made dan
gerous roads for fast traveling the
trip of Americus citizens to Columbus
to bring back 35 to 40 members of the
Georgia Hotel Men’s association, who
were in convention there, to Ameri
cus for an informal visit this after
noon and evening, was abandoned. In
stead of bringing the men here, ur
gent invitations were sent along with
regrets asking that they choose Amer
icus for their convention next year.
Telegrams were sent to the hotel men
by Mayor L. G. Council, on behalf of
the city, by Secretary Perkins, on be
half of the Chamber of Commerce, and
by Manager Rogers, of the Windsor,
on behalf of the local hotels.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no
reply to the invitation had been
received.

M’ADOO URGES
U.S.TOHOLDTO
ROADS 5 YEARS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Extension
of the period of Government control of
five years, until January 1, 1924, was
recommended ? to Congress last night
by Director General McAdoo. Ad
vantages of this, Mr. McAdoo said, are
that it would take the railroad ques
tion out cf politics for the present,
give nine for carrying out an exten
sive program of improvements, and
provided opportunity for a fair test of
unified control to indicate the perma
nent solution of the railroad problem.
The Irt sident has given m 3 i• r
mission to say that this conclusion ac
cords with his own view of the mat
ter,” Mr. McAdoo concluded.
The letter was addressed to Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, an Repre
sentative Sims, chairmen respectively,
of tie Senate and House Interstate
Commerce committees. Mr. McAdc
explained that to continue Government
operation for 21 months after fospaal
declaration of peace under present
conditions would mean disruption o
morale among the employes and offi
cers, and could not enable the Gov
-1 eminent to go ahead with improve
> ments and purchase of equipment. An
' other alternative, the prompt return
of the railroads to private control,
without legislation to permit elimin
ation of the old wasteful competitioi.
would be "hurtful alike to the public
interest and to the railroads them
selves,” he said, and the difficulty o
obtaining immediate legislation pro
viding a permanent solution is
apparent.”
