NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 8.-The
celebration of hundred years of peace
between the English-speaking nations
of the world began this morning when
twenty one guns were fired as a salute.
Today marks the one hundredth ami
versnry of the battle of Chalmette,
when Andrew Jackson defeated the
British before New Orleans.
New Orleans has prepared special
program for the day and the entire
city is in gala attire. An imposing
monument erected to the memory of
Andrew Jackson will be unveiled on
the battlefield during the day. A spe-
cial event of the day was the exchange
of greetings between personal repre-
sentatives of King George and Presi-

KA|SERS GENERALS
A BAN ON
ALCOHOLIC DRINKS
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, Jan. S.-The German
war department has written another
paragraph into the history of the use
of alcoholics in this war. 1t says:
"At first alcohol supplies certain
liveliness, but with the consumption
of larger quantities it causes somno-
lence. Experience teaches that ab
stinent soldiers can best resist the fa-
tigue of war. Besides, the use of al
cohol leads to excesses and dissolute-
ness. Alcohol, therefore, is to be used
with the greatest care, and is to be
absolutely avoided on the march. For
giving warmth it is not to be recon-
mended. The warmth which it con-
veys is entirely deceptive. All in
authority are requested to pay strict
attention to the necessity of limiting
it's use."

DIXIE COTTON MILLS
WILL CO AF TER
TRADE Of SOUTH
AMERICA
Especial to Times-Recorder)

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. s.
Great opportunities for expansion Of
the cotton goods trade with South
American countries are open now that
the European mills have been curtail-
ed, and a number of Southern cotton
mills are taking active steps to cap
ture a generous share of this trade, de-
clares Charles Lyon Chandler, South
American agent of the Southern Rail-
way, who calls attention to the fol-
lowing interesting figures:
Of the $14,OOO,0OO of cotton goods i'm
ported by Chile in 1912, only $4,000
came from this country. Germany,
whose trade is now cut off, supplied
SO, 100000, and Great Britain the rest.
In the same year Argentina bought
$35,700OO0, of which $5,527000 came
from Germany, over $17,OOO,OOO from
England and only $445,30 from this
country. Of the $18,000,00O of cotton
goods imported by Brazil, $3,SO0O,OO0
came from Germany, $11 100000 from
England, and only $329,OOO from this
country. Figures in regard to woolen
goods and cutlery into the South Amer
lean countries show similar oppor-
tunity.

CALVESTONSENDS
LOAD COTTON
To BREMEN
(By Associated Press

GALVESTON, Tex, jan. S.-The
American steamer Nebraskan sailed
from this port today, carrying a full
cargo of cotton destined for German
spinners and consigned importers
at Bremen. The cargo was loaded un-
der the supervision of the British con-
sui here, and each bale before being
lowered into the hole of the big
ship was subjected to an x-ray test,
intended to locate any contraband arti-
cles that might be concealed inside
the cotton bales.
Before leaving port all the hatches
of the Nebraskan were battened down
and sealed in the presence of both the
French and British consular represen-
tatives, and those officials placed their
official seals upon the different matches
into which the cargo was loaded. In
addition to these the seals, the COM
mander of the Nebraskan took certi-
ficate signed by the two consuls setting
forth the fact in connection with the
loading of the ships hold.
The Nebraskan is the second Ameri-
can steamer to leave Galveston with
cotton for German ports and the pre-
cautions used to prevent the loading
of contraband are expected to secure
for the cargo an uninterrupted passage
to Bremen. A cargo of poaash salts
will be brought back by the Nebras-
kan from Germany.

GERMANS P|LLAAGGE
CHURCHES SAY THE
PAPERS
(By Associated Press. J

LONDON, JAM 8.-The British off,
cial press bureau, acting as spokes-
man for the Belgian legation here, to-
day issued a statement, setting forth
detailed allegation of alleged NAL
treatment of Catholic clergymen at va
rious points through Belgium. The
statement says churches in many Bel
gian towns were destroyed after being
profaned by Germans, and the Catholic
clergy, the statement declares, were
subjected to special indignities at the
hands of German soldiers.
Among other allegations set forth
in the statement, priests and others
connected with the church in Belgium
cities, are alleged to have been hanged
and shot indiscriminately and without
even the semblance of trial.
The statement was issued as a re-
ply to recent German statements de-
nying atrocities alleged to have been
committed by Won Kluck's army. In
the previous charges specific allega-
tions were not made

AEROPLANE LASTS
SHORT TIME IN WAR
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Jan. S-The life of aeroplane
motors in use is not over $50 hours,
and to assure this, much of them they
must be taken apart, cleaned and re-
mounted every so hours, according to
the experience of French aviators since
the war began.
AS the cost. of one of the motors,
when ordered by the Kindred, is 49,
600 francs cash, the expense is a heavy
one. One factory near Paris is de-
livering $50 new aeroplane motors a
month.
1t is difficult to know details of the
aeroplane work, but it is assumed that
from five to ten aeroplanes go out of
action each day, disabled by hostile fire
or wear and tear.
The military aviation schools are
training many hundreds of young avia~
tore, so that there is constant re-
newal of human material at the front,
and a steady increase in the number
of air machines in action.
