Economic Struggle

"For a long period subsequent to the civil war the south was engaged in a struggle to recover from the shock of war and regain her feet. When the period of recovery had passed the south entered upon the present wonderful era of ma terial development, the zenith of which will not be reached for many years. Neither this condition of poverty and de pression nor the swee ping material sd- vance now in progress have been con- ducive to the maintenahce of the south S high ideal of governnient and society Nevertheless, every stAte in the south has been bravely grappling with her sociological problems, which are admit tedly more difficult thah those in other sections of the nation.
 "While the souths financial industrial and agricultural development is now being emphasized by her great leaders in those lines in the southern commercial congress. questions of huinanity must not be forgotten, if our development is to be symmetrical.

Raymond Poincaire, the foreign minister for mally notified the Greek government, through Athos Romanos, the Greek minister to France, that the picker ing between Greece and Bulgaria must be settled.
 There was a special meeting of the Greek cabinet in Athens hedged about with great secrecy.

 The Turks proposed to hold the peace conference at Brussels, and the Greeks suggested Constantinople. but the other allies favor the Bulgarian capital.
 Bulgaria is said to be not averse to little delay, hoping that Adrianople might fall in the meantime and thus give her an additional weapon with which to force more advantageous peace terms.
 Turkey Also Is Delaying.
 Turkey, too, was said to be pursuing a Fabian policy in the hope that some contingency might precipitate some other power into the controversy, thus relieving Turkey of a share of her re- responsibilities.
 From a new quarter came news of preparation for war. This is Rouma- mia, which so far has taken no part in the Balkan conflict.
 The Roumanians, it was stated are working to obtain some advantage from the partition of European Fur key. So far they have worked diplo- matically, but troops are being mobil- ized and equipped to take the field. and it is asserted that if Roumania cannot, by diplomacy. make Bulgaria recognize her claims to recognition in the Turkish adjustment, she will try it by force of arms.
