self for the practice OF law. having a
family to provide for and educate. He
did not feel that he could assume the
burden of going to school, 20 he took
up the study at night, and by his persist
ent study and labor, he was admitted
to practice at Gulfpdrt, Miss, 1--WE and
one-half years ago. The motive that
prompted this labor and tenacity of
purpose indicates a character which

with diligence faithfulness, and coming
into public life as he does from an in
innate association with the rank and
file of the great middle class, pos
sessed with broad human sympathy
derived from the intimate association,
he is in position to feel the great need
of an officer as prosecutor In sympathy

He stands for those broad demo-
cratic principles advocated by George,

elected will, so far as possible, put
them into practice, always remember
ing that the officer is servant Of the
people and not the boss; that il the

Giant War AeropIane

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The con-
struction of a giant war aeroplane for
the United States navy will be under
taken at once at the Washington navy
yard. This will be the first aeroplane
to be constructed at a navy yard, but
it is the plan of the department to
build them regularly in this way in.
the future.
The design of the new machine calls
for a type of aircraft larger, more
powerful and of greater offensive
qualities than any aeroplane ever built
in the United States. 1t will be SINH
lar, it is believed by naval officers to
the new types of aeroplanes developed
in the course of the war in Europe.
The aeroplane will have full-load
capacity of about 5000 pounds and a
useful load capacity of about 2,200
pounds. This weight can be distrib-
uted between passengers, fuel and
weapons. 1t is probable that the new
machine swill carry at Least one three
inch gun, though no announcement is
made as to this detail of the new craft.
The aeroplane will be equipped with
two 16O-horsepower motors, which will
give a speed of from fifty to eighty
miles per hour and maximum range
of seven hours at full speed.

GREEcE'S REPLY MAY Is
BRING TEUTON INVASION

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-Greece has is
sued a formal reply to the Austro-
German communication protesting
against the erection by the allies, of
Notifications around Salonika, At
Athens, it is said that the Greek gov
ernment replied to the protesting Teu-
ton diplomats that Greece was power
less to prevent the Notifications as
they are indispensable to the safety of
the Anglo French expeditionary
forces
The safety of the Anglo French
troops, Greece is said to have pointed
out, has been formally guaranteed by
that kingdom. The reply also empha-
sized that Greece is still Serbia's ally.
This reply intensifies the crisis in
that it increases the danger of Ger
man invasion of Greece with the OBJ
ject of driving out the allies.

SECRETARY OF LABOR WILSON
ASKS HELP FOR UNEMPLOYED
ASKS FOR SPECIAL RATES ON
DAILRoADS FOR JOBLESS.
Would Eliminate Violence and Bitter
ness from Labor Disputes by Pre-
venting Moving of "Guards"
from State to State.

WASHINGTON Dec. 21.-The pass
ing of laws which will prevent the
transportation of armed guards or
private police from one state to an
other by either strikers or employers
is urged on congress by Secretary of
Labor Wilson in his third annual re-
port.
The secretary sees in the enactment
of such legislation a great step taken
toward the elimination of violence and
bitterness from labor disputes.
Ways and means of getting the job
less to the job is another great prob
lem before the department, he said.
To facilitate this Secretary Wilson
advises that power be vested in the
interstate commerce commission to
authorize special rates on railroads for
such purposes.
Other pressing needs meriting the
attention of congress Secretary Will
son lists as follows:
Minimizing the unnecessary hard
ships which injured federal employees
have to go through before obtaining
redress
Necessity for some steps to be taken
prohibiting aliens voting for federal
officers.
President Wilson is informed that
the work of the department has been
especially important in the tasks of
labor distribution and in the media
tion of labor disputes The secretary
declared that the cause of industrial
peace had been given an impetus
through the act providing for media
tOrc in industrial strife
Pointing to the constantly increas-
ing differences arising between en-
ployer and employe, he asks that ad-
ditional funds be provided to enlarge
the scope of this branch of the service.
Out of the forty-two cases before
the department for adjustment during
the fiscal year, twenty-six were amic-
ably settled and in only six cases did
the efforts of mediators prove unsuc-
cessful. Several cases are now pend
ing, with probability of early settle
ment.
Legislation to promote better hand
ling and storage of farm products and
trading on the basis of fixed grades
and standards was urged.

10000 ITALIANS FALL p
is CLAIM OF AUSTRIA

VIENNA, Dec. 20.-Seventy thous-
and Italian dead and wounded fell in
what the war Office designated as the
fourth battle of the coastal district.
The population of Goritz, the state
ment admitted, had been hard hit by
the "impotent fury" of the Italian
bombardment, but thus far no military
importance can be attached to the re-.
sultant destruction of the town.
Concerning the southeastern front,
the war Office claims Bosnia cleared
of Montenegrins, Bjelopolje held, and
pursuit of Montenegrins west of Ipek.

PLACER GOLD STRIKE IN
TULARE COUNTY STARTLES

V1SALIA, Dec. Excitement ran
high here when it was reported that
j. w. Wilson, an Arizona miner, and
partner of Fred Golfer of Golfer, Ariz.,
had made a placer gold strike ON the
White river, so miles southeast of
here, in Tulare county, averaging 60
cents to 81 a bucket.
1t was rumored that Wilson has
been offered $4,000 for his leases in
Grizzly gulch, just as they stand.
Every effort was made by Wilson
to cloak his operations in secrecy, and
it was. not until today that it leaked
out
Surveyors estimate that there is
$4,000 worth of gold in the first level,
and indications are that there are
three levels of the gold.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 21.-The pop

public officials and real estate men
declare the success of the plan is at

tenn.
Reports from Los Angeles county
show that since the law went into eff
feet December 10, 1914, property worth
morer than $1,000,000 has been sold
under the plan. Reports from 5S other
counties show that Los Angeles is the
center of the change which is now
going on. The first Torrens law was
passed in Illinois in 1895, and has

z LARGEST IN U. S. HISTORY
SO, 1897 100000 is ESTIMATE MADE
BY SECRETARY HOUSTON.
Valuation Is an Increase of About $685.
100000 Over the 1918 Crop Value
More Meat Herds Needed,
Says Annual Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-Secretary
Houston's annual report places an esti-
mate of $9,879, 100000 on the value of
American farm crops and animal prod
ucts for last year, valuation without
precedent. This, however, probably
will be eclipsed by the present years
showing.
This valuation is an increase of
about 100000 over the value of
1913, hitherto the highest ever record
ed.
Between August 1, 1914, and Feb
ruary 1, 1915, exports were $1,157,-
100000 and imports $771 100000, CIV
ing favorable balance of 1886, 100000.
Of the total value of exports, 1862 2,000,-
600 represented agricultural and only
$495, 100000 non-agricultural commodi-
ties, chiefly manufactures.
'The total agricultural exports in
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915,
practically the first year of the war,
were $1,47O,O0O,OO0, which is an in
crease of $356, 100000, or 80 per cent.
over those of the preceding year, and
$433, 100000, or nearly AZ per cent.
over the average of the five years,
1904"
What is needed more, perhaps, than
anything else, is an increase in meat
animals Elimination of common live
stock diseases would result in mate
rial increase of the meat supply.
The citrus fruit industry of the gulf
states, the report asserts, is seriously
threatened by citrus canker.
The potash situation, the report
states, continues serious.
recommendations for legislation
made by Secretary Houston to con-
gress include the following:
Legislation designed TO promote bet
ter handling and storage of farm prod
ucts and trading on the basis of fixed
grades and standards.
A land mortgage banking act.
Assistance to communities near the
national forests in road building and
similar improvements.
Authority to grant water power per-
