THE SURGEOX GENERAL'S MESSAGE "The end of actual fighting in tho world war will not lessen the ne cessity for this campaign. Rather, it will become a greater war emergen cy measure than ever. Cessation of hostilities will center attention on the return of the victorious Ameri can forces. On entering the service the men became subject to Army and Navy discipline, which, in the con trol of Venereal Diseases within the ranks, is rigid. Prior to demobili sation, the tense fighting morale of the forces is bound to relax. . The men will be buoyant in spirit and eager to celebrate.

Peanut grow ers from the leading producing coun ties of North Carolina and Virginia met at Suffolk, Va., last Saturday ! and heard reports of cost of produc tion, and crop and market conditions from the representatives of the Fed eral Bureau of Crop Estimates, office of farm mangament, and bureau of markets. It appeared that the grow ers ,as well as the cleaners, had been laboring under a wrong impression that the present cro pis larger than last year's. According to the last report of the Burea uof Crop Esti mates the crop for the United States is about three and a half mil lion bushels less than for last year. The opinion was expressed, re ports Mr. W. R. Camp, Chief of the North Carolina marketing work that last year's crop was scraped clean. In fact that buyers were looking in vain for peanuts, but now whe nthe season has only begun Job bers and consumers of peanuts have very largely ceased to place orders with the cleaners. Prices have slumped from ten to five and seven cents a pound, with no market at all in many places. With all Europe, with the exception of Denmark, South Russia and Hungary, under the necessity to import food, and with special need for fats, and with prices of food products gener ally remaining about the same, there appears no reason for there being a slump in the price of peanuts alone.- MARKETS COTTON New York, Dec. 5.

Executives of railroads comprising more than 90 per cent of the rail mileage of the country, in conference here yester day adopted a resolution favoring a return of the roads to private own ership and expressing the hope that the remaining period of federal con trol would be such as to leave the properties in the highest state of ef ficiency. Government ownership and oper ation of railroads was characterized as "not conductive to the highest economic efficiency of the country," and it was suggested that "private initiative, enterprise and repsonsi bllity in craation, extension, im provement and operation should as a matter of national policy, be fos tered and preserved." The meeting also voted that "as surance be given to ine director gen eral of railroads and his associates of our earnest desire to co-operate with them in the performance of their important and difficult trust) and in the adoption of plans for the return of these properties to private management and operation; which plans shall be Just, alike to the pub lic, to the owners of the properties and to the employes engaged thereon."

The Commissioner urges that the night watchman as well as workers about the plant generally be in structed thoroughly as to the use of all fire apparatus and the purpose and methods of handling all valves and connections. He suggests that fire extinguishers should be recharg ed something like once a year to assure their being in perfect order and they should be insulated against cold if kept in exposed places. WILSON TURNS TO WORK On the , George Washington at Sea Dec. 5. President Wilson spent most of yesterday on the steamer in the office set aside in his suits of rooms with his stenographers at tending the large pile of letters and jhlegrams awaiting his attention. As soon as the ship swung Into the sea from the ovation accorded him as the vessel started on her trip he turned to his desk. According to the waiter who has attended the Gansian Emperor and Empress on former occasions the party dined quietly last evening. Fleet Corporation and President Wheeler, of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States. Mr. Wheeler urged that American business should be represented at the peace conference in France. Mr. Schwab made uu appeal for a great merchant marine, and declared that labor should be psrmitted to organ ize in individual plants and share in tho country s prosperity. Secretary Rod fie Id said that no rash hands should be laid on wages; that the proper spirit of trade is not exces sive profits, but service. There was some talkk here last night that a committee of American business and industrial men might go to Europe during the peace negotiations. NINETEEN HUNDRED AMERICANS RETURN ;Nw York, Dec. 5. -The British traiispott ihft.Or.ea. with 1,922 Am erican troops aboard arrived from Liverpool today, This ithe fourth ship to bring returning, soldiers from abroad. v Secreary Redfield prefaced his speech with the statement that his remarks were not to be taken as an official announcement. "I am more and more impressed," said Mr. Red field, "in reading current discussions and reflecting upon them with the truth that readjustment is very largely a state of mind that re quires not so much a program of a mixed line of procedure as an evo lution." Mr. Schwab said a great merchant marine is essential for the ultimate success of the United States, and its successful operation Is not for the benefit of any one man or class of men or any one branch of busi ness but for the pood of every ctLI zon of the contry. Taking up the question of labor Mi'.. Schwab said: "I am one of the men who believe in the fairness of American labor. I am one of the mej who believe that the only foundation upon which any thing can permanently rest is the economic use of everything, whether it bo labor, material, manufacture or what not. Any foundation of or ganized labor or capital, that is on a false basis must fail. "I am not opposed to organize! lavor. I believe that labor should organize in individual plants or amongst themselves for the belter negotiation of labor and the protec tion of their own lights; but the or ganization and control of labor in individual plants r.nd manuafcturies to my mind, oughi to be made rep resentative of the people in those plants who know the conditions. "In the years gone by I seriously doubt many times if labor has re ceived its "fair share of the prosperi ty of this great country. We, as manufacturers, have got to open our eyes to a wider vision oftlhe present and the future with reference to our workmen. We have got to realize that many unjust demands will be made by labor as they probably have been made by capitalists and em ployers in the past. That is one of the lessons this ' great ' war has taught us true democracy," Mr. Schwab said that he had tel egraphed the President a few days ago begging to be relieved of his du ties as head of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, important as the work is, to take up what-he believed to be more important duties, "i I felt that having 170,000 employes.of my own and a payroll ,of twenty-five million dollars a month, I could be of great er service to this nation and this country by retiring from the work I had in Philadelphia to the study of Important ' questions that would arise in connection with this transi tion period in the various industries in the United States." .

Washington, Dec. 6. General John J. Pershing's account of his stewardship as commander of the American expeditionary forces was given to the public yesterday by Sec retary Baker. It is in the form of a preliminary report to the Secre tary, covering operations up to No vember 20 after the German col lapse. It closes with these words from the leader of the great army in France, expressing his feeling for those who served under him: "I pay the supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line. When I think of their heorism, their patience under hardships, their un flinching spirit of offensive action, I am filled with emotion which I am unable to express. Their deeds are Immortal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our country." The report begins with General Pershing's departure for France to pave the way for the army that was to smash German resistance on the Meuse and give vital aid to the al lies in forcing Germany to its knees nineteen months later. Its striking feature is the, section devoted to "combat operations" where it told the story of fighting by the man who directed it. General . Pershing views the en counters before March 21 of this year in which American troops par ticipated as a part of their training and dismisses them briefly. On that date, however, the great German offensive was launched and a crucial situation quickly developed in the allied lines 'which called for prompt use of the four American divisions that were at that time "equal to any demands of battle action."

Future plans of the American Red Cross un der which the great organization built up during the war will be de voted to peace time relief work not only in the United States but throu ghout the world were outlined in a statement Issuel dast night by Hen ry P. Davison, chairman of the war council. Mr. Davison, who was speaking to the 3,864 chapter and 22,000,000 members of the mercy organization, said it is confidently believed there need be no further campaigns for funds. Instead the'anna'al .Christ mas roll-call for members' will con stitute the foundation .of the Red Cross.

"Since America's jniry into the war, the purpose of our Red Cross has been primarfljr-tfy alo' our army and navy in the care of our own men under arms, and, secondly, to extend relief to the soldiers, sailors and civilians of those nations which were fighting our battles along with their own. With the funds which have been so generously contribut ed by the American people, this war work of the Red Cross will continue and bo completed with all possible sympathy and energy. Wherever our soldiers and sailors may be, the Red Cross will stay with them until they are demobilized.
