 FOR POSSIBILITIES
Would Have President Grant the In- crease Asked by Eastern Railroads Over Head of the Interstate

Over Head of the Interstate
 Commerce Commission
 Not until William II of Germany Is crushed to earth never to rise again will the European war be concluded. according to the opinion of Robert Jem- son. ST. who returned yesterday from England Mir Jemison was uniucky enough to land in London just about the time that Sir Edward Grey deliv- cred his famous 4U-minute talk to the British Parliament on the German in- vasion of Belgium, which was tanta- mount to England declaring war on Germany. He was en route to Vienna to consult a specialist in regard to Ia throat ailment of Mrs. Jemison, but returned home just as early as pos sible. Mir Jemison was in London three weeks and while there was pleased to render to some stranded Birmingham citizens a measure of relief in which they found themselves after their con- tinenta1 experiences
 He said frankly to a reporter of The Age Herald yesterday that the Eng nsh government had formed the unre- lenting conclusion to crush Germany as England eventually crushed Napol- con even if it requires as long to over throw William as it did the Corsican. At least, Mir Jemison said that was the opinion held by almost everyone in England to whom he spoke of the situation.
 Blames Germany for War
 This war is a result of the militar- ism of the German Kaiser and his ieal- ousy of Englands commercial suprem- acy," said Mir. Jemison. "I shared the general opinion that Germany was a great place commercially and was su- preme in commercial matters. have come away from England very much of the opinion that Germany and goods made in Germany are tremen- dously oyerrated.
 sEngland is commercially supreme and always will be. Although Germany tries to the extent of paying small losses on meritorious propositions, she has been unable to meet England. Again England is queen of the seas and always will be now and forever Peace will come soon. 1t will come. however, only when William Is whipped unmercifully. This will be done with out doubt and enthusiastically. That has been determined upon. The reasons are obvious England desires to maintain her integrity. She wants to fix Ger many so that Europe will not be an army post with soldiers sleeping on cannons She wants to retain her SOW ereignty of the seas and will do that or die in the attempt.
 ."When peace is concluded Belgium will be heavily sindemnified Tor the suffering she has undergone. She will b. paid well for her gallant defense at Iiege and her powerful resistance of the German hosts. Woodrow Wilson will eventually be called upon to ar range the diplomatic overtures that are taking place even now. England has worlds of products to be sold to the home land from her colonies over the seas She has products to be sent back to those colonies to be exchanged so her position Is mpregnable so far as commerce is concerned.
 Country in Good Shape
 .This country is in good shape. The time has been here in Birmingham and the south when cotton sold for cents and no one howled very much. Here 1t is 7la cents and we hear talk of nard fines. My advice to those who own cot ton is to hold it as long as they can. Pay A little on your debts and carry the rc- nnainder And start right now to plant AS much gram as you can without any cotton at all for the time Is nigh at hand when the graneries o1 Europe Will be empty and we will be called upon to sell England and the remainder Of Europe grain for their people. American growers can reap tremendously rich harvests by starting this at once.
 "Amerca occupies very unusual po- sition at this time. | was, however, asham med to see that we had only six ships that were flying the American flag in -lu- ropean waters and there We're 300,000 per sons who were afraid to ride on any boats that did not fly the Stars and Stripes. That was a reflection upon our country and should never be suffered to take place again. The merchant marine should be encouraged
 Another proposition: If were the Pres ident of this country 1 would immediately cause to be granted an increase to all the eastern railroads of 5 per cent. l would do that If l was forced to ask Con gress to abolish the interstate commerce commission and have Congress take that action in order to save time. l believe this step would cause Woodrow Wilson to go down in history as the greatest statesman of his time. A few of the lines were given d slight advance a short time back after three years delay.
 ..This increase should take place tight now. It would cause a great increase in the value of our railroad securities. It would cause the foreign bankers holding the railroad securities of this country to hold on to them instead of flooding the market and it would start a campaign of buying in this country unprecedents 1t W would open shops and give employment TO thousands of men. It would cause the milling of so much lumber as to enrich great lumber concerns. The railroads could not get enough lumber with which to build cars and we would be in com our lawmakers could seize an oppor- tunity of giving a general increase which would be the most bountiful proposition that ever came about to bless the Amer ican people,"
