THE DECLAIM OF PEACE "romtsee to Keep Congress Fully Advlaed of His Public Action* While Abroad. Washington.—Congress In Joint ses sion heard President Wilson announce formally his purpose to attend the peace conference and give his views on the part the government should play In dealing with reconstruction problems. The president said: "Gentlemen of the Congress: "The year that has elapsed since 1 iast stood before you to fulfill my con stitutional duty to give to the Congress from time to time Information on state of the Union has been so crowd ed with great events, and great'results that I can not hope to give you an ade quate picture of its transactions or ol the far-reaching changes which have been wrought In the life of our nation and of the world. You have yourselves witnessed these things as I have. II Is too soon to assess them; and we •who stand in the midst of them and are part of them are less qualified than men of another generation will be to say what they mean or even what they have been. But some great out standing facta are unmistakable and constitute in a sense part of the pub lie business with which it is our duty to deal. To state them is to set the stage for the legislative and executive action which must grow out of them and which w« have yet to shape and determine. "A year ago we had eent 146,918 men overseas. Since then we have eent 1,950,513, an average of 162,543 each month, the number In fact rising in May last, to 245,851, In June to 278,780, 1a July to 307,182 and continu lag to reach similar figures in Au gust and September—in August 289, 670 and in September 167,436. No such movement of troops ever took plac« before, across 3,000 miles of seas, fol lowed by adequate equipment and sup plies and carried safely through ex traordlnary dangers of attack—dan gers whloh were alike strange and in finitely difficult to guard against. In *ll this movement only 758 men were tost by enemy attack —630 of whom were upon a single English transport which was sunk near the Orkney Is lands. I need not tell you what lay back of this great movement of men and material. It is not invidious to say that back of It lay a supporting or ganisation of the lndnstriee of th« country and of all Its productive ac tivities more complete, more thorough ta method and effective In result, more spotted add unanimous In purpose aad effect than any other great bel llgerent had been able to effect. We profited greatly by the experience ol the natkms which already had beer eogaced for nearly three years In thi exigent and exacting business, theli every resource and every executive proficiency taxed to the utmost. We were their pupils. But we learned quickly and acted with a promptnese and a readiness of co-operation that Justify our great pride that we were able to serve the world with un paralleled energy and quick accom plishment. But it Is not the physical scale and executive efficiency of preparation •apply, equipment and dispatch that I would dwell upon, but the mettle ■ml mulllji of the officers aad men 'we sent over and of the sailors who kept the seas, and the spirit of the nation that stood behind them. N« soldiers or sailors ever proved them selves more quickly ready for the test of battle or acquitted themselves witk more splendid courage and achieve ment when pat to the test. Those ol us who played some part in directing the great process by which the wai was pushed Irresistibly forward to the final triumph may now forget all that and delight our thoughts with thi story of what our men did. Their officers understood the grim and exacting task they bad under taken and performed it with at audacity, efficiency, and unhesitating courage that touch the story of con. voy and battle with Imperishable dls Unction at every turn, whether the enterprise were great or small —from their great chiefs, Pershing and Sims down to the youngest lieutenant; and their men were worthy of them —such men as hardly need to be commanded and go to their terrible adventure blKtiely and with the quick intelll gence of those wfao know just what tt Is they would accomplish. I am proud to be the fal low-country man of men of such stuff and valor Those of us who stayed at home did oor duty; the war could not have been woa or the gallant men who fought tt given their opportunity ta win it otherwise; but for many a long day we shall think ourselves "secured we w*im not there, and holds our man bood cheap while any speaks thai (ought" with these at Si. Mihlel or Thierry. The memory of thoee days ef triumphant battle will go with these hrtixte men to their graves; and each will have his favorite memory. "Otd men forget; yet all shall be for |M, bat he'U remember with advan tages what feats he did that day." ' What we *ll thank God for with deepaat gratitude la that oar men vent] tn torom Into the lln« of battle juat at! the critical moment when the whole: (Ate of the world amnad to haas In the balance and threw their fraah mnfff 018 rula «( ftirtw to. time to turn the whole tide and sweep of the fateful struggle—turn It once for all, so that henceforth It was back, back, back for their enemies, always hack, never again forward! After that H was only a scant four months be fore the commanders of the central empires know themselves beaten; and now their very empires are In liquida tion! And throughout it all how fine the spirit of the nation was, what' unity of purpose what untiring xeal! What elevation of purpose ran through all Its splendid display of strength, its untiring accomplishment. I have said that those of us who stayed at home to do the work of organisation and supply will always wish that we had been with the man whom wo sus tained by our labor; but we can never be ashamed. It has been an Inspiring thing to be here in the midst of fine men who had turned aside from every private Inter eat of their own and devoted the whole of their trained capacity to the tasks that supplied the sinews of the whole great undertaking! The patriotism, the unselfishness, the thoroughgoing devotion and dis tinguished capacity that marked their toilsome labors, day after day, month after month have made them fit mates and comrades of the men In the trenches and on the sea. And not the men here in Waahington only. They have but directed the vast achieve ment. Throughout Innumerable fac tories, upon innumerable farms, In the depths of coal mines and iron mines and copper mines, wherever the stuffs of Industry were to be obtained and prepared in the shipyards, on the rail ways, at the docks, on the sea, in ev ery labor that was needed to sustain the battle lines, men have vied with each other to do their part and do it well. They can look any maii-at-arma in the face, and say, "We also strove to win and gave the best that was In us to make our fleets and armies sure of their triumph." And what shall we say of the wo men of their Instant intelligence, quickening every task that they touch' ed; their capacity for organization and cooperation, which gave their actios discipline and enhanced the effective ness of everything they attempted; their aptitude at tasks to which they had never before set their hands; their utter self-sacrifice alike In whai they did and in what they gave! Their contribution to the great result Is beyond appraisal. They have added a new Tustre to the annals of Amerl can womanhood. The least trlbtue we can pay then is to make them the eqnals of men In political rights as they have proved themselves their equals in every field of practical work they have entered whether for themselves or for theli country. These great days of com pleted achievement would be sadlj marred were we to omit that act ol Justice. Besides the Immense practt cal services they have rendered, th« women of the country have been thi moving spirits In the systematic econ omies by which our people have vol' untarily assisted to supply the suf fering peoples of the world and th« armies upon every front with food and everything else that we had thai might serve the common cause. Tlx details of such a story can never b« fully written, but we carry them al our hearts and thank God that w« can say that we are the kinsman ol such. And now we are sure of the great triumph for which every sacrifice wai made. It has come, come in Its com pleteness, and with the pride and In splration of these days of achieve ment quick within u» we turn to th« tasks of again—a peace securi against the violence of Irresponslblt monarchH and ambitious military co terles and made ready for a new or der, for new foundations of Justici and fair dealing. We are about to give order and or ganlr.atlon to this peace not only foi ourselves but for the other peoplei of the world as well, so far as thej will suffice us to serve them. It Ii international Justice that we seek not domestic safety merely. Oui thoughts have dwelt of late upon Eu rope, upon Asia, upon the near and thi far East, vary little upon the acts a peace and accommodation that wait ti be perfojmed at our own doors. Whllt we are adjusting our relations urltl theJjAfJf the world. Is It not of eapl tal that we should cleai misunderstandini with' ouMpirri'mgdlate neighbors an) give prcfcj of 'the friendship we reall) feel? I hope that the members a the senate *|ll permit me to speal once more of the unratified treaty a friendship and adjustment with thi Republic of Colombia. I rsry earnest ly urge upoa you them an early an favorable actios upon that vital mat ter. I believe that they will feel, wltt me, that the stage, of affairs Is now set for such action "as will be not onlj Just but generous Ynd In the spirit a the new age upJKfirhlch we have w happily entered. 'Ai So far as our doml®c affairs sri concerned the problem of oar retun to peaea Is a problem of economic an Industrial readjustment. That pro* |em Is leas serious for us than it ma; turn out to be for tku nations which have suffered the disarrangement* and the iosaea of war longer than wa. Our people, moreover, do not wait U» be coached and led. They know their own business, are quick and re ■oarceful at every adjustment, defi nite la purpose, and self-reliant In action. Any leading strings we might seek to pot them In would speedily become hopelessly tangled becauv they would pay no attention to them and go their own way. All that we can do aa their legislative and execu tive servants is to mediate the pro ceaa of change hare, there, and else where aa we may. I have heard much coansl as to the plans that should be formed aad personally conducted to a happy consummation, but from no quarter have I seen any general scheme of "reconstruction" emerge from which I thought It likely we could force our spirited business men and self-reliant laborers to accept with due pliancy and obedience. While the war lasted we set up uajr agencies by which to direct the GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 5, 1918 Industries of the* country In the' ser vices it was necessary for them to reader, -by which to make sure of aa abundant supply of the material! needed, by which U> check undertak ings that could for the time be dis pensed with and stimulate those that were most serviceable In war, by which to gain for the purchasing de partments of the government a certain control over the prices of essential articles and materials, by which to restrain trade with alien enemies, make the most of the available skip ping, systematise financial transac tions, both public and private, so that there would be no unnecessary con flict or confusion.—by jrhlch. In short, to put every material energy of the country In harness to draw the com mon load and make of us one team In the accomplishment of a great task. But the moment we knew the armis tice to have been signed we took the harness off. Raw materials upon which the government had kept Ita hand for fear there should not be enough for the Industries that sup plied the armies have been released and put into the general market again. Oreat Industrial plants whose whol« output and machinery had been taken over for the uses of the gov ernment have been set free to return to the uses to which they were put before the war. It. has not been- pos nble to remove so readily, or so quickly the control of foodstuffs and of shipping, because the world has still to be fed from our granaries and the ships are still needed to send sup plies to our men overseas and to bring the men back as fast as the disturbed condltons on the other side of the water permit; but even there re straints are being relaxed as much as possible and more and more as the weeks go by. Never before have there beea agencies In existence in this country which knew so much of the field ol tupply, of labor, and of industry as the war Industries board, the wai trade board, the labor department, the food administration, and the fuel ad ministration have known since their labors became thoroughly systematiz ed; and they have not been Isolated agencies'; they have been directed by men which represented the perma nent departments of the government and so have been the centers ,of uni fied and co-operative action. It has been the policy of the executive, therefore, since the armistice was aa- , sured which Is In effect a complete submission of the enemy) to put the knowledge of these bodies at the dls-1 posal of the business men of the coun try and to offer their Intelligent medi ation at every point and In every mat ter where It was desired. It Is sur prising how fast the process of return to a peace footing has moved In the three weeks since the fighting stop ped. It promises to outrun any In quiry that may be Instituted and any aid that may be offered. It will not be easy to direct It any better than It will direct Itself. The American business man Is of quick Initiative. The ordinary and normal processes ol private Initiative will not, however, provide Immediate employment for all of the men of our returning armies. Those who are of trained capacity, those who are skilled workmen, those who are ready and willing to go to the farms, all those whose aptitudes are known or will be sought out by em ployers, will find no difficulty, It Is I safe to say, in finding place and em- | ployment. But there will be others ! who will be at a loss where to gain a livelihood unless pains are taken to guide them and put them In the way of work. There will bo a large float- 1 Ing resklum of labor which should not be left wholly to shift for Itself. It seems to me Important, therefore, that the development of public works of every sort should be promptly re- ] sumed, In order that opportunities should be created for unskilled labor In particular, and that plans should be mado for such developments of our unused lands and our natural re- ! sources as we have hlthreto lacked stimulation to undertake. Democratic representatives aroso and applauded vociferously when the 1 president announced his intention of going In person to the peace confer- | ence. The Republican side was silent and so were many senators on both 1 sides of the chamber. The president concluded after speaking 42 minutes, and left the chamber amidst applause limited to the Democratic side. Interruptions of the address for questions which had been threatened by some Republican mombers of the house did not ma terialize. Farm enterprise and much soft corn increased pork supplies, food conser vation Inrreused exports—total ship ments doubled. ♦ ♦ ♦ FAITH JUSTIFIED ♦ « BY EVENTS. 4 * ♦ ♦ I do not believe that drastic 4 ♦ force need be applied to main- 4 4 tain economic distribution and 4 4 sane use of supplies by the 4 4 grest majority of American peo- 4 4 pie, and I bars learned a deep 4 4 and abiding faith in ths Intelll- 4 4 gence of the average American 4 4 business msn, whose aid we aa- 4 4 tlrlpate and depend on to reme- 4 4 dy the evils developed by the 4 4 war.—Herbert Hoover, August 4 4 10, lUI7. ♦ ♦ 4 Patriot's Plenty Bqy less - Serve less Eat on|y 3 meals a djy Waste nothing Ybur Quests will cheer fu{jy snare simple fate Be Proud to be a. food saver • ADVICE TO "FLU 0 CONVALESCENTS SPAIN AND ENGLAND REPORT INCREASE IN TUBERCULOSIS AFTER INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.

C.—(Bpe^al.)—Ac cording to a report made to the United State* Public Health Service, the epi demic of influenza In Spain hai al ready caused an Increase In the preva lence and deaths from pulmonary tu berculosis. A similar ussoclatlou be tween Influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur News holme, the chief medical officer of tho English public health service, In his analysis of tho tuberculosis death rate In Englnnd. In order that the people of the Unit ed States may profit by the experience, of other countries Surgeon Geperul. Rnpert Blue of the United States I'ub -11c Health Servlco bus Just Issued a warning emphasizing the need of spe cial precautions at tho present time. "Experience seems to Indlcnte," says the Surgeon General, "that persons whose resistance has been weakened by an attack of Influenza are peculiar ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With millions of Its people recently affected with Influenza this country now of-, fers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis." On* Million Censumptlvss In th* United States. "Then you consider this a serious menace 7" was asked. "In my opinion It is, though I hasten to add It Is dis tinctly one against which the people can guard. Bo far as on* can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis In the United StatM. There Is unfortunately no complete census available to show ex actly the number of tuberculosis per sons In each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the dis ease reportable.

The very careful health sur vey conducted during the past two years In Framlngham, Mass., revealed 200 enses of tuberculosis In a popula tion of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whofe they would indicate Uiat about one In every hundred per sons Is tuberculous. Esch of tlieso constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against." What to Do. : | In his statement to the public Sur geon Geueral Itlue points out how those who have hud Influenza should protect themselves sgslnst tuberculo sis. "All who have recovered from In fluenza," says the Surgeon General, "should have their lungs carefully ex amined by n competent physician. In fact. It Is desirable to have several ex aminations made a mouth apart Such examinations cannot be made through the clothing nor can they bo carried out In two or three minutes. If tho lung* are found to be free from tuber culosis every effort should bo made to keep them so. This can bo done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh sir." Dsng*r Signs. The Surgeon General warned espe cially against certain danger signs, such a* "decline" and "colds which hsng on." These, h* explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do not get well promptly, If your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these sre often the early signs of tuberculo sis.

Washington.—-Congress In Joint sen sslon heard President Wilson an nounce formally his purpose to attend the peace conference and give hl« velws on tho part the government should play In dealing with reconstruc tion problems. Democrats of tho house received the announcement wtlh cheers In which some senators joined; the Republi cans were silent almost throughout the address, except when the presi dent referred to tho valor or efficiency of American soldiers and mentioned the names of Pershing and Sims.

BUY WAR SAVINO STAMPS MUST INCREASE FOOD EXPORTS America Called on by End of War to Supply Added Millions. ECONOMY STILL NEEDED. Over Thro* Time* Pre-War Shipment* Required—Situation In Wheat and Fata Prove* Governments Policy Sound. With the guns In Europe silenced, we have now to consider a new world food situation. But there ran be no hope that the volume of our exports can be lightened to tho slightest de gree with the cessation of hostilities. Millions of people liberated from the Prussian yoke are now depending upon us for tho food which will keep them from starvation. With food the United States made It possible for the forces of democ racy to hold'out to victory. To Insure democracy In the world, we must con tinue to live simply In order that we nuiy supply these liberated nations of Europe with food. Hunger among a people Inevitably breeds anarchy. American food must complete the work of making the world safe for democ racy. l.ast year we sent 11,820,000 tons of food to Europe. For the present year, with only the European Allies to feed, wo had originally pledged ourselves to a program thst would have Increased our exports to 17,500,000 tons. Now, to feed tho liberated nations, we will have to export a total of not less than 20,000,000 toas—practically the limit of loading capacity at our ports. Re viewing the world food situation, we find that some foods will be obtainable In quantities sufficient to meet all world needs under a regime of eco nomical consumption. On the other hand, there will bo marked world shortages In some Important commodi ties. Return to Normal Bread Loaf. With (ho enlarged wheat crops which American fnrmers have grown, and tho supplies of Australia, the Ar gentine and other markets now acces sible to shipping, there are bread grains enough to enable the nations to return to their normal wheat loaf, provided wo continue to mill flour at a high percentage of extraction and maintain economy In eating and the avoidance of waste. In fats there will he a heavy short ago— about 8,000,000,000 pounds —ln pork products, dnlry products and vegetable oils. While there will be a shortage of about three million tons In rich protein feeds for dairy ani mals, thero will be sufficient supplies of other feedstuffs to allow economical consumption. In tlio mattor of beef, the world'* ■upplle* are limited to the capacity of the available refrigerating ihlp*. The ■upplle* of beef In Auatralln, the Ar gentine and the United State* are suf ficient to load these ihlp*. There will bo it shortage In the Importing coun trlea, but we cannot hope to expand export* materially for the next month* In view of the bottle neck In trans portation. We will have a sufficient supply of sugar to allow normal consumption In this country If the other nations re tain their present short rations or In crease (hem only slightly. For the countries of Europe, however, to In crease (heir present rations to a ma terial eitiuit will necessitate our shar ing a part of our own supplies with them. Twenty Million Tone of Food. Of (he world (otal, North America will furnish more than 00 per cent. Tho United States, Including the West Indies, will be called upon to furnish 20,000,000 (ons of food of all kinds as compared wllh our pre-war exports of about 0,(100,000 (ons. While we will bo able to change our program In many respects, even a casual survey of tho world supplies In comparison to world demands shows conclusively that Europe will know fumlne uidens the American people bring (heir home consumption down to (he barest minimum that will main tain health and strength.

At this moment Germany has '.tot alone sucked the food and anlmais from all those masses of people she has dominated and left starving, but she has left behind her a total wreck age at social Institutions, anil this uiosh of people la now confronted with absolute anarchy. If we value our own nafety and the aoclal organisation of the world, If we valun the preservation of civilisation Itself, we cannot permit growth of this canoer In the world's vitals.
