PRISONERS OF WAR
 IN ALBANIA ARE
 WITHOUT SHELTER

Saloniki. December 1S.-(Via Paris, De-
 cember 19)-"Released Austrian prisoners of war to the number og 1000 are without shelter and food in Albania, as are the inhabitants of that country" said Dr. Ed ward Stuart of Boston to the Associated Press representative today. Dr. Stuart is a member of the American sanitary
 commission which left Saloniki last month after completing a campaign against ty- phus and which has been recalled to this city to take up Servian relief work. He added:
 Conditions among the refugees here are bad enough, but tens of thousands of nom combatants remaining in war-devastated Servia must be infinitely worse. Their fate during the bitter wginter already begun probably will exceed all the sufferings en- dured by the Belgians, because the Serbs are so inaccessible to relief
 Americans are most willing to help and their success depends upon the prompt | ness with which facilities are granted by the -Hungarians and Bulgarians for northeastern Servia. by the Italians for Albania and by the Greeks for south
 ern Servia This question of speed may save hundreds of lives"

State Treasurer, Extreme PrOhibitiOnist, Tells Why
 It Should Carry
IS THE ONLY WAY TO
 AVOID TAX INCREASE
Appeals to Voters to Cast Aside Prejudice and Partisan Bias and Vote for Honor
 of the State

Montgomery, December 1S.-(Spe- cial)-"From experience gained by me as state treasurer for the past Il months, and my experience as a banker and business man for the past 25 years, I unqualifiedIy indorse this bond issue as being absolutely necessary for the best interest of the state.'
 This is the declaration of W. L. Lan- caster, state treasurer, in a brief in- terview he gave out this afternoon set ting out various reasons for the ratifi- cation of the bond issue. At the begin ming of his statement, Treasurer Lan- caster called attention to the fact that he was a statewide prohibitionist, possibly of the extreme class, a per sonal and political friend of Governor E. E. Conner, and in no wise influenced by the present governor
 He declared he has considered the question from every angle, and has reached the conclusion that the bond issue must be had, or taxation in some form burdensomely increased"
 In conclusion, Treasurer Lancaster said: T feel certain if the bond issue is not carried. much disappointment and regret will be the result, caused by action that state officers will be com pelled to take to uphold the honor and integrity of Alabama before the world"
 Following is Treasurer Lancaster $ statement:
 As statewide prohibitionist, pos sibly of the extreme class, 8 personal and political friend of Governor B. B. Conner, and in no wise influenced by the present governor, I feel it my duty 10 the citizens of this state who have bonored me by electing me state treas urer, to give them the benefit of my views on the state bond issue to be voted on January IS.
 From experience gained by me as state treasurer for the past Il months, and my experience as a banker and business man for the past 25 years, I unqualifiedly indorse this bond issue as being absolutely necessary for the best interest of the state. l say this after mature deliberation and an earnest de- sire to follow some other plan if it were feasible.
 "I have considered the subject from every angle, trying to see some other feasible and honorable way for the state, but I am forced to the conclu- sion after careful investigation that this bond issue must be had or taxa ton in some form burdensomely tn- creased Cor repudiation or anything that smacks of it is not to be consid- cred by honest citizens).
 q agree with Governor Henderson that this is no time for a tax increase. The state owes the debt, no matter how or by whom made. A short time serial bond issue is the only business solu- ton of the difficulty, and the only diff ference between Governor Henderson and myself on this issue, is the amount.

 progress toward this final goal wit intent interest, but in the most con fident hope. The success so far at
 tained has been due to the indom
 itable spirit and dogged tenacity whic knows no defeat, and the heroic cour age so abundantly displayed by tn rank and file of the splendid army which it will ever remain the prid and glory of my life to have command ed during over 16 months of inces sant fighting.
 "The regulars and the territorial of the old army and the new army hav
 ever shown these magnificent quail ties in equal degree. From my hear I thank them all.
 At this sad moment of parting m heart goes out to those who have re ceived lifelong injury from wound and I think with sorrow of that grea and glorious host of my beloved com rades who have made the greatest sac rifices of all by laying down their live for their country.
 "In saying good-by to the Britis army in France. I ask them once agai to accept this expression of my deep est gratitude and heartfelt devotio toward them and. my earnest goo wishes for a glorious future, which feel to be assured.
