EXTENSION NECESSARY

Washington. Dec. e4-President
Wilson tonight issued a proclama
ton returning the railroads and ex-
press companies TO private control
March l.
Failure OF Congress TO enact RENE
dial legislation was given as the rea-
son for extending by two months the
time originally announced for relin-
gushing government control OF the
railroad property. In his message -
Congress last May President Wilson
said the roads would be turned back

reached by Congress. Secretary Tu-
multy said n announcing the proc
lamation. 1t becomes necessary in
the public interest 10 allow rea-
sonable time 20 elapse between the

hardly likely that an agreement

he thought upon real serious things
and told his friends he had been a

fact that most of his life had been
wasted. He promised that if he re-
covered he would be changed man,
join the church and do something in
gratitude for the many blessings he
had enjoyed. 1t is matter OF COM
