UNDERWOOD THINKS PROSPERITY WILL SOON BE ON HAND Says Financial Situation Is Practically Normal at
 Present Time SEES NO HOPE OF
 PEACE THIS YEAR Senator Will Stay in Florida Two Weeks for Rest-To Remain in
 Birmingham Several
 Weeks
sy RICHARD F. LussrEn

Orlando, Fla, March 27-(SpeciaD-Unit- ed States Senator Oscar W. Underwood predicts the return of prosperity within the next six months. In point of fact, Senator Underwood frankly avows that to the best of his belief and knowledge business conditions are already becoming adjusted to the turbulent times and that a normal state of affairs now prevails in the financial world
 Senator Underwood stated that the Bank of England had been the clearing house of the world and that when this colossal financial institution suddenly changed from a specie to paper ex- change basis the world of finance was thrown into chaos This, with the ap- palling depreciation of the cotton market caused the business upheaval and the ensuing financial depression. However. Mr. Underwood was gratified at the sta bility of American institutions in that the United States was able to bear the brunt of the business depression with such for tftude and also showing such unmistak- able signs of aggressive recovery.
 Mir. Underwood arrived in Orlando a few days ago. He came direct from Washington and issued the statement that he wanted rest and plenty of it.
 Despite his admissions that he is in need of rest, Senator Underwood appears in the best of health and in the past week attended the baseball games at Exposition park and rooted for the Bar ons when they trounced the Havana Reds. He stated that he would remain in Or lando for two weeks and then return to Birmingham, where he would stay until the heated summer period
 It was in the office of James l.. Giles, prominent financier of Orlando that Senator Underwood and J. H. Wood ward. his father-in-law, met. The elder MT. Woodward, who is one of the pio- neers and builders of Birmingham, was

Peace. By thus perpetuating the reign
 of peace, Christianity will accomplish its
 own puriflcation, and establish it's own
 power.
 Then In time the new world will more
 than pay it's debt to the old by giving back Q civilization ennobled, a Christianity pur-

Many a youth who gives his inn agination free play and undertakes to forecast the futures lives to see the fastes make sad work of his prophecies. P;af. W. w. Benson of the Normal school at Florence realized this fact, the past summer. he says, when the great war broke out in Europe He was travelling in Switzerland at the tine, and got back. to America only after ccnside rable delay and discom- furt. Safe at home at last, he looked up and read with queer sort of feel ing an old college speech that he had written two decades before on the sub ject, "A Continent of Peace
 This subject was suggested by the nAmerican congress which James C Blaine called together during the : Harrison administration. Student Ben son down at the Southern univer- sity at Greensboro decided that the millennium was about to dawn, and that he would proclaim to award
 Moreover. the committee to award the commencement medal were so im- pressed by the young mans glowing words Of prophecy that they gave him the prize.
 It is Interesting to note that among the essays that went down to defeat before the golden dream of world peace were the more practical efforts of Bob Williams, now governor of Ok lahoma and of Augustus Benners, now distinguished member of the Birmingham bar, who were likewise receiving their sheepskins that year.
 "A Continent of Peace'' makes such strange reading in the light of pres ent day events that few extracts from it are published. The two Amer icas still maintain the peace policy fin all essential respects. but the hopes entertained as to the controlling in- Huence of their example on European policy have woefully failed of realiza- ton.
