iEid&KNiNG STAR, vWILIktoGTON; N. TUESDAY, .DECEMBER 24, 1918. 7' 1 V . - v 11 PRESIDENTIAL SHIP IS WELCOMED BACK DIRECTOR STEWART ISCOMMHERE Transport George Washington Returns With Troops. Brings Upward Of Four Thousand Men, 96S Of Whom Are Sick Or "Wounded Transport Cedrio Arrives. v New York, Dec. 23. The transport George Washington, which took Pres ident Wilson to France, and the steam- ' ship Cedric arrived here today "bringing- 6,022 men from overseas in-time to celebrate Christmas in the United States. The Cedric, from Liverpool with 65 officers and 2,168 enlisted men docked first and was accorded a rousing re ception, but the welcome to the George Washington which arrived an hour : later from Brest, was perhaps the most enthusiastic the city yet has given a returning transport. The big liner had on board 331 of fleers and 3,461 men, more than half of them members of the "Cyclone di vision," made up of Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia national guard troops. The George Washington's 968 - sick and wounded, contrary to custom were in possession of their honorable discharge papers when the transport landed. They received them last night, with cigarettes and candy, at a novel Christmas celebration. As the men were dozing off for their last sleep aboard, the ship's quartette entered the sick bay and roused them by singing Christmas carols and "Home, Sweet Home." The lights then were flashed on and a member of the crew, attired as Santa Claus, distrib uted the discharges. Col. Halsted Dorey, of Washington, wearing four wound stripes was one of the officers on the George Washing ton. He was gassed twice and wound ed in the leg. Before sailing for Prance he com manded the first Plattsburg training camp for business men. Lieut. George W. Buryear, of Mem phis, Tenn., who escaped from Ger many by swimming the Rhine-after having been in five German prison camps, was another passenger. Lieut. Edward Boligney, of New Or leans, aviator, who enlisted with the Foreign Legion in 1914 and later was transferred to the American service, was another passenger. Lieut. Bollg ney's plane was shot down in Albania last July from a height of 7,000 feet, he said, but he escaped without a scratch. RESTRICTIONS ON EXPORTS ARE GREATLY RELAXED 3 Washington, Dec. 23. Sweeping re laxation of restrictions on exports of foodstuffs, fodder and feed, to the Latin-American republics, Canada and the West Indies was announced today by Chairman McCormick of the war trade board. - Applications for licenses for all ar ticles under these classifications with the exception of a snort list, now will be received by the -ooard subject to the import requirements of the coun try of destination ana to shipping fa cilities. An earnest desire to express the friendship of an American nation for the "sister republics of the western hemisphere was said to have been a strong factor in determining the atti tude of the board. In this connection, officials said the order will apply even to commodities of which there are a restricted quantity in the United States. The list of exceptions names only wheat and wheat flour, corn, coffee, sugar, butter, cheese, eggs, linseed meal and cake and cottonseed meal and cake. To avoid any misapprehen sion as to the supply of these articles to the countries named it was empha sized that practically all of them are available in desired quantities through government channels.

Department of Labor Man to Confer With Hugh MacRae. : Is Interested in Discussing With Local 3Ian in Regard to Settling Soldier f In the Southeastern States .;. -Comes in January. -V ' . A Reliable Remedy for V COUGHS, COLDS H? S0RE THROAT By S. R. WINTERS. . Washington, Dec. 23. Ethelbert Stewart, director of the investigation and inspection service of the depart ment of labor, is to visit Wilmington and eastern North . Carolina early in January. The object of his visit will be to investigate the possibilities of North Carolina lands for agricultural settlement for returning soldiers" The department jjf labor recently gave out an interview, for. this corres pondent stating that 50 soldiers could be induced to go to North Carolina and other southern states to one that would find favor in 'Wyoming and . sec tions of the far west. The coyotes and other pests are troublesome in the west; in' North Carolina the cut-over lands are inviting arid schools and social life have already been estab lished along stable lines. Based upon the facts set forth in that interview as carried by this cor respondent, Hugh MacRae of Wilmlngr ton, wrote the department of labor: i I am very much interested in an item appearing in the papers dated Decern-, ber 18, giving the substance of an In terview with you on the subject of the availability of southern lands for ag ricultural settlements for returning soldiers. The writer has been work ing on the problem of establishing agricultural communities for the past 15 years, and would be glad to get in touch with you whenever it is conven ient with a view to discussing the pos sibilities. "Undoubtedly you will be surprised upon closer investigation of the great advantages of this region, which have only been recognized." "I have your letter of December 19 and am much gratified by your ex pression of interest in the work the investigation and inspection service is undertaking to do," writes Mr. Stewart to Mr. MacRae. "My plans are essentially those given out in the newspaper interview which you have read, however, in view of your statement that you have been working on this problem for the past 15 years I shall certainly avail myself of your offer to get in touch and dis cuss the possibilities. ; "I can not say Just when but very shortly after January 1, I shall be more than pleased for an opportunity to call upon you in Wilmington and discuss the matter." GREENSBORO TAKES ACTION TO PREVENT SMALL-POX SPREAD (Special Star Correspondence.) Greensboro, Dec. 23.

Only about -25 cases have been reported in the city so far. Andrew Joyner, Jr., who has' been in the intelligence department of the navy, has received an honorable dis charge, and will return to Greensboro by the first of the year and resume his duties in the office of the clerk of superior court. Since the appoint ment of R. H. Wharton to the position of register of deeds, following the dea'th of W. H.

Lumberton, Dec. 23. A. W. McLean, director of the war finance corporation, came Friday morning and will leave to return to Washington tonight. Asked as to effect of the armistice upon the activities of the war finance corpora tion Mr. McLean said: "While the act creating the corpo ration provides that new business may be undertaken for a period up to six months after peace is declared by proc lamation of the president, the direc torsv having in mind the act was essentially a war measure, suspended making advances to such industries as munitions plants, shipbuilding companies, street railways, power companies and others of a similar character immediately upon the cessa tion of hostilities. The principal ac tivities now engaging the attention of the directors are . lending money to preserve breeding cattle in the drought stricken sections or -the southwest and some, crop moving loans, also large loans to railroads under govern ment control. The latter will aggre gate large sums. It is difficult to tell just how long this business will con tinue for the reason that the duration of government control of the railroads is uncertain.",- Mr. McLean brings from Washington the news . that the postal: sone system applying to newspapers . and periodi cals: .certainly will be repeated as a part of the new revenue bill -about to be enacted by - congress. Further re ferring to this .matter Mr." -McLean said: "I have always considered - the legislation as unwise but in' any event it was a. war emergency measure which should now be repealed.
