INCREASED FEDERAL AID
FOR HIGHWAY BUILDING

Judging from a recent statement
by Secretary Houston, one of the
Administrations leading policies in
the period of reconstruction upon
which we are entering will be the
development of national highways.
Said the Secretary, in the course of
a conference with editors of agri-
cultural magazines:
"There will 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 to be used
separately or in conjunction with
State and local support-The suges-
lions 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-
tons for highway extension and i'm
provement have been made so that in
considering future projects the Off
Gals 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 adj
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
broadcast 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 iurists in Georgia, was almost
instantly killed early Saturday aft
ernoon, when the gun he was carry
ing was discharged while he was on
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 messages 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, few years
ago, lived his whole life in his native
town of Union Point, Greene county

RED CROSS SCHEDULE
FOR THE COMING WEEK

The week will begin with a meet
ing of the Committees of Marietta
District, announced elsewhere in this
paper, on Sunday afternoon at 8
O'Clock, in the Methodist Church.
Then on Monday evening at 1880
Hon. Charles Garrett of Augusta, will
deliver an address at the Courthouse.
Mr.. Garrett is speaker of ability
and thoroughly familiar with his sub
ject and we bespeak for him large
audience.
The activities of the varions COM
mitteees have not been scheduled, but
on Thursday night a grand Masque
Pageant Parade is planned, and bar
ring very inclement weather, this is
bound to be most interesting affair,
1t 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 tC
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 hui
name 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.
1t is the most unselfish work in the
world, can we say more?

INTERNED ALIENS TO
Be HELD TILL PEACE

One of the last steps in progress
toward peace will be the demobiliza-
ton of the alien enemies held at in
ternment camps. They will 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 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
termed during the war and will not
do so for the present.

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
1st 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 busy all the past week re-
ceiving pledges of hearty co-opera-
ton from every section of the state
1t is stated by Mr.. Jones that the
object of the movement is to pre-
serve for future generations, in con-
else, 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-
lection within human power, and adj
visory board is being organized to
cooperate and advise with Mr.. Jones
in the compilation 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. Britain, state
superintendent of schools; and also
editors of leading daily newspapers
of the state, Paul T. Harder, presi-
dent of the Georgia Press Associa-
ton, and others. Announcement of
the boards full membership will 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, l wish to
assure you without hesitation, and
in the most enthusiastic terms, of
my approval, and to assure you fur
Their of my willingness to cooperate
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 home in the state
which has not made it's 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.
at 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 written 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 women's pat
riotic societies, Georgia Historical
Association. 1t 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 compilation of this
history, and they are urged to write
freely their suggestions and offers
of support to Mr.. Jones, at post

EVERY AMERICAN URGED
70 JOIN The RED CROSS

washington, December S.-Presi-
aort Wilson, in a proclamation made
rublic today, calls on every American
min the American Red Cross
SIhris+n1as Roll Call week, December
te+o %. "and thus send forth to the
mboIa human family the Christmas
o,aa+ing for which it awaits and for
gb;ch it stands in greatest need"
The proclamation, prepared before
the president departed for Europe,
follows:
c.. November &c, 1918. To the
American People: One year ago
twenty-five million Americans, by
omro1ling as members of the Red
Cross at Chritmas time, sent to the
Won 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
Uovornnent in the determination not
onIv to wage war with the instru-
n,onts of destruction, but also by
every menas in their power to repair
p+be ravages of the invader and sus-
tain and renew the spirit of the army
ond of the homes which they repre-
son+ed. The friends of the Red Cross
in Italv, Belgium and France have
and will tell again, the story
If how the Red Cross workers re-
stored morale in the hospitals, in the
camps, and at the environments, and
we ought to be very proud that we
have been permitted to be of service
tn those whose sufferings and whose
glory are the heritage OF humanity.
"Now by Gods grace, the Red
Cross Chritmas message of 1918 is
to be a message of peace as we'll as
q message of good will. But peace
does not mean that we can fold our
hands. 1t means further sacrifice.
Our membership must hold together
and be increased for the great tasks
ocome. We must prove conclus-
lively 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 flu
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
full 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 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 days ahead. Let
us, SO far as we can, help them back
to faith in mercy and in future hap
piness.
GAS president of the Red Cross,
conscious in this great hour of the
value of such a message from the
American people, l 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.
