GEN. STANLEY HERE
 FOR BRIEF VISIT
Well Known Editor Greenville Advo- cate Talks of Conditions in
 Butler County

Gen. J. B. Stanley. the veteran editor of the Greenville Advocate, reached the city last night and will be here for q couple of days. He Is stopping at the Motion General Stanley is one of the most widely known newspaper men in Alabama and has many warm friends in Birmingham. who always greet him cordially on his visits.
 "Greenville is in good shape" ne said, because the people of Butler county have learned the lesson of diversifi- cation and never again will they be wholly dependent on cotton.
 "The boil weevil arrived this sea- son and our business men at once got together and offered 20 cents a hun dred for boil weevils brought in up to the 10th of the month. By that date $500 worth had been brought to town. The object. of course, was to impress or the farmer the importance of gath erng them early if they wanted to make a crop.
 T am printing in my paper this week some inspiring data on what a corporate limits of Greenville by in- tensive and diversified farming. The results are gong to be wonderful when our people learn to get full returns from the soil

WILSON INFORMED VILLA IS SEEKING
 PEACE CONFERENCE
(Continued from Page one)

Vene in our affairs we think that we should seek means that would permit the reunion sand reorganization of. the con- stitutionalist party, even thought it be indispensable to make sacrifices of self esteem We believe also that this is what pa triotism and the future welfare of our country require of us
 Tn such sense. we propose to you that we take under consideration President Wilson's note and that, if you are so disposed as we ourselves are, that you advise us that we may discuss and agree at once upon the form and terms of pro- cedure in the reorganization of the national constitutional government. We have already placed ourselves in touch with the chief of the convention govern ment as well as with the commanding general of the army of the south.
 The telegram was signed by General Villa and M. Diaz Lombardo, in charge of the department of foreign affairs of the convention government.
 In the memorandum filed at the state department General Villa sums up with the followng
 We of the convention government have not been animated by ambitions for power, nor do we desire in any case to obtain it by means other than by the free vote of the Mexican people. But nasmuch as the desire to consult the
  legal regime, with constitutional sane tion is accepted by the Carranza faction We are disposed, in the light of possi- ble intervention in our national problems by a foreign power, to again invite all those Mexicans to unite and colaborate with us in the work of realizing the prin- ciples of the revolution, especially the agrarian question, and the development of instruction for the masses: and we only accept from this invitation those who. according to the words of Presi- dent Wilson, have ignored the constitu- ton of the republic and employed their power against the interests of the peo- pie.
 'The Mexican people entertain sincere gratitude toward those of the United States for their generous sympathy and moral support, and I am pleased to ob- serve that President Wilson recognizes that the people and government of the United States make no pretense of right to take part in the solution of our in- ternal affairs.''

and delivery wagons converted by means of a couple of chairs and a few boards into passenger-carrying omnibusses
 Business streets which usually were well cleared by 6:30 or o'clock in the evening were crowded several hours later than that time.
 The two branches of the Chicago river, one running to the northwest and the other to the southwest sections, served to carry many persons. Motorboats left the mouth of the river at regular inter- vals and stopped at most of the bridges to take on or let off passengers.
 The Illinois Central railroad, which serves one section o fthe Southside with suburban service and handles an aver age of 40,000 passengers daily, reported they had carried 2s0000 passengers dur ing the day.
 The school system was thrown into dis order Mrs. Ella F'lagg Young said that 5000 of the 1000 teachers were affected and many were late today. School was not dismissed, however and cases of ab- sence or lateness were not marked against the pupils record

LETTERS TO EDITOR
German-American Citizenship

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The rather startling. although inaccurate statement is made by correspondent in Sundays Age-Herald that the foreign born population of the United States isl 32, ,000 or B per cent of it's entire popu- lation. The covert threat is apparent that the genuine American citizenship had better consider this statement in their proceedings concerning the Euro pean war.
 The facts are that the census bureau gives the foregn-born population at 1s,- 5lo,SS6 or IA per cent of the population; of this foreign-born population 2,572 123 are English and 2.501,1S1 are German.
 For months various hints have been made that the President had better con sider the German American vote. but to the informed that carries no terror, as that vote is not worthy of the slightest consideration in over five points in the United States.
 The democratic party leaders of Chicag,, wooed the German-American vote in try- ing to win in the mayoralty election a few weeks ago and suffered the greatest defeat ever administered to any party in fis.ica go It was mt rennhlican vic- tory because the democrats would have had to vote in droves to give the republic can party such a majority it received. It was the American citizen giving his disapproval of any foreign element inter- fering in domestic matters.
