Advance Agents of Big Com.
pany Plan for Reopen
ing of the Boarding
Houses in County.
MUST GUARD MEMS HEAL TIL
With Prevalence of Influenza 1t Is Ex-
pected That State Board of Health
VIII Have Agent in the County to
Supervise Housing Conditions.

With the coming of the colder
weather the advance agents of the big
Chicago ice companies have made their
appearance in the county and they are
making plans for al early opening Of
1.-THE ice houses for the 1918-l919 crop.
The managers expect that the season
for the ice harvest will be an unusually
long one this year and it is expected
| that considerable difficulty will be ex-
lperienced in securing men to work on
the lakes and in the houses. The
boarding houses in which the men are
| to be housed are to be given especial
I care this year ON account Of the fear
of an epidemic of influenza among the
workers, Sheriff Jacob Hermann AMI
! his deputies are going to take a special
interest in the safeguards that are to
be thrown about these men this season
as there is grave fears among people
in the outlying towns Of the county
| that the coming of this horde of work
ers to the county may result in a new
epidemic OF the disease beng bro4gnt
Ito this section. Many cases of the
disease are being reported among work
men in Chicago and other cities and
lit is expected that large number of
1.-THE men making up the forces work
| ing on the Kenosha lakes will be drawn
| from these places. As there are no
hospital facilities to care for these mon
in the western part of the county it is
expected that some provision will he
made by the owners of the big ice
companies to provide some room at
the boarding houses to take care of
men who may be taken sick until these
men can be removed to hospitals in
Chicago and Milwaukee.
The state health department has let
lit be understood that it will give
especial attention to the conditions
under which ice workers are housed
this year and it is not improbable that
special agent of the state board of
health viii be sent to Kenosha county
/ to look over the provisions made for
the men and see to it that all regula-
lions for housing imposed by the state
board are carried out.
It is not improbable that the gues-
ton of wages will cause a lot Of trou-
BILE for the ice cutters this year. With
record wages being paid in all trades
and with the organization of these
men, it is expected that demands will
be made for largely increased wages.
Advance agents of the company who
are preparing for the coming harvest,
are making an effort to secure as much
local help as possible.
Under normal conditions it is ex
pected that the ice harvest will be
started between now and the first of
January, but with the indications that
the forces will be small it is expected
that the harvest viii be continued
until late in February or possibly well
into March. It is said that all of the
lice houses in Kenosha county viii be
| filed this year. No contracts for
the erection of any large new houses
have been let.

McAdoo May
Stick TO Railway
Job Some Time
Reported In Washington That he
viii Remain at Helm Until the Roads
are Turned Back.
;By United Pressl

Washington, Dec. At appears
likely today that William G. Nc
Adoo had agreed to stay at his
task as director general Of the rail-
roads for the time being. This
means to many officials that Presi-
dent Wilson was about to carry out
his congressional suggestion turn
ing back the railroads to private
ownership very soon unless con-
gress devised a method Of pro-
cedure with them at an early mo-
ment. Evidently it developed def
nitely today that the president 8
policy is to reduce as rapidly as
possibly wartime boards such as
fuel administrator. It is currently
reported today that a new mission
to go abroad was in the making.

George Washington Escorted by Fleet
Leaves for Europe Just After Ten
O'clock This Morning.
BY Robert j. Bender.

Hoboken, N. j. Dec. e. (Enroute
to France with President Wilson,
President Wilson sailed for Europe
today to literally fight that Ameri-
cas- peace ideals may prevail.
With President and Mrs. Wilson
standing on the bridge, the steamer
George Washington, carrying the
President to the peace conference
moved away from her dock at 1922
a. m. today. AS the transport
backed out into the stream, two
airplanes circled overhead. Three
destroyers in the river took up
their stations beside the George
Washington. The crowd on the
Hoboken side of the North River,
was unable to see the ship moving
out, but they cheered as the toot-
ing Of whistles told them the
President was starting his voyage
to France. There were many
spectators cheering and waving
handkerchiefs, along the New York
side of the river on the piers. At
1890 the big steamer swung around
and started down the river, the
tugs still around her. AS she
moved out, the presidential salute
Of twenty-one guns was fred by
the ship 5 own batteries. The trip
down the river was made through
a gauntlet of action. Persons
away from the water front could
follow the progress of the steamer
by din, as it moved on into the bay.
A big crowd was assembled at the
battery, where Thousands from the
office buildirq q lower Manhattan
gathered TO wave good bye ana add
their voices to the clamor. AS the
George Washington sailed males
tically into the lower bay, her
gray sides almost merging into the
midst, the convey swung into line
off Staten Island. The steamer
passed quarantine, entering lower
bay at 11:10 a. m. AS the ship
proceeded toward the bay the Presi-
dent remained on the bridge, wav-
ing a handkerchief in response to
the increasing uproar of farewell.
The noise Of whistles and sirens
became deafening. The rigging Of
ships locked along the river was
crowded with cheering people.
Vessels passing the George Wash
ington blew their whistles Like
mad their rails lined with men
and women giving the President a
sendoff. The two airplanes joined
in the demonstration looping the
loop and cutting all kinds Of
capers directly over the Presi-
dents ship. The dreadnaught
Pennsylvania which is to lead the
voyage across the Atlantic, flying
Admiral Mayo's pennant, moved
up the narrows. The Presidents
flag was flown by the George
Washington. Secretary Tumulty
went down the bay with the
President, being scheduled to the
return on the tug-boat Thomas
Moran. Other escort ships i'm
cluded the destroyer Wickes, Wool
sey, Lea, Tarbell and Yarnell. In
addition to these, ten other de-
stroyers, the Mahan, BEDFORD,
Breese, Craven, Dorsey, Robinson,
Wake, Montgomery, Lamberton
and Perkins, will accompany the
presidential party.

COUNTY CHA|RMEN SLOW IN RETURNING
 W.S.S. DRIVE REPORT
State Directors and Officials Compiling Returns = AL lied Armies to Begin
 Final Drive Monday

It has been one week since the War Savings drive ended. and with only a few exceptions the county chairmen have not yet reported results to the state headquarters. Vice State Director U. w. Donnelly says this tardiness is accounted for on the grounds that the chairmen have not been able to com pile all the returns from their respec- tive counties.
 MT Donnelly has been working on the reports from the GA school districts in Jefferson county outside of Birming- ham and has not yet completed the work. It is big job, as thousands of cards have to be sorted out and tabu- lated All of the school districts made splendid records.
 L. J. Adler. president of the Alabama Commercial Travellers association, was delayed in reaching the city yesterday, and for that reason his conference with State Director Crawford Johnson had to be postponed until today. State Di- rector Crawford Johnson and Field Marshal J. Frank Rushton made trip to several of the mining districts yes terday looking over the situation and getting line on the work done there.
 New members added to the 5000 club yesterday are: William Piez, the Avonda1e Methodist church building COIDHllIee, l< A. oW cdlL anu InTS J. w [. Mcqueen. The fact that church build ing fund has been invested in Baby Bonds lends encouragement to the state committee as it may be the pre- decessor of other similar investments.
 Mrs s. l.. Ledbetter of the woman s division reported sales amounting to s1S,396.64. Miss Beverly Leake is re- organizing the booth committee. It has been decided to establish 10 permanent booths in Birmingham at places yet to be designated.
 Total booth sales reported up to date are: Birmingham, 233,225.25; Bessemer, $40, 900 cash and over $20.000 in pledges. One booth in Montevallo sold 5000 of stamps last Saturday.
 County chairmen of the women's di- vision are writing every day for more pledge cards, stating that they ara pushing the campaign, one chairman writing that she would stay in as long as she could blow feather.
 The allied armies will begin the final drive Monday, concluding with a lunch con at the Tutwiler on Friday, at which all reports are expected to be ready for submission.
