The Heating bill contains all
of the undesirable features Of
the Palmer-0wen Bill and if it
becomes law will prevent any
cotton mill in this State from
employing children less than six
teen years old. Its most odious
feature is the provision for Fed
eral mill inspection.
The child labor agitation in
this country is conduc, e !
by paid propagandists. These
propagandists are hired principal
ly by Northern capitalists who
are jealous of the growth Of the
Southern textile industry and
who wish to hamper and harass
it in every possible way,
There is no sentiment for rigiG
child 'abor laws in cotton mil.
communities. People who are
brought face to face with actual
conditions have no time for
theories. There are none who
will not admit that it would be
ideal for every boy and girl in
this country to attend school I'M
til the age of sixteen is reached,
but people who know the condi-
tons in the South as they actual.
" are know, that this is at this
time impossible.
The cotton mills of the South
stand for education, for moral,
physical and social progress. In
two or three decades, the cotton
mills, working hand in hand with
their employees, have accom-
olished wonders in improved
sanitary conditions, better
schools and churches, and better
economical conditions. Child
abor has steadily diminished

Forelgncrs in Allied Armies.

BERNE, Switzerland. Oct 15.-The
Allies have not only brought black,
brown and yellow savages and half
savages from Africa and Asia to fight
against Germany, but they have also
organized "legions" of different for
eign white nationalities for this pur-
pose. In the French foreign legion,
which was increased to $4,000 men at
the beginning Of the war, there are
some $500 Swiss and about 3,400
Germans.
OF the italian legion organized for
France by the sons of Gen. Ricciotti
Garibaldi nothing is left. This corps
at one time numbered nearly 5000
men, but it was dissolved. as it gave
considerable trouble to. the French
commanders. Most Of the Italian vol
unteers were entirely without military
training and their lack of discipline
made them almost valueless as fight
ers
The French army also has a Slavic
Legion" This organization consists
mostly of Poles who have lived in
France and Belgium for years. A
hundred Of the Poles came from
America and Joined the French army
because they could not reach Russia.
This legion originally had about 5000
men, but there are only 500 OF them
left. About 5000 OF the Poles were
killed, wounded or captured in the
battles around scissors. The Scan
dinavian Legion" of the French con-
sisted of 1900 Danes, Swedes and
/ Norwegians. but it was practically
wiped out in the battle OF Arras,
where in June Il lost $500 men in
one day. The Americans in the
French army number about 1900 and
nearly 1000 American volunteers are
lighting in the British ranks. The
English army also contains a large
number of Scandinavians but they
have not been organized into a sep
arate corps like in France

Washington.-The Pan-AmeSican ap-
peal to all elements in Mexico to cease
fighting and join In sincere move
ment to restore constitutional govern
ment began to go forward from the
State Department.
The document was dispatched
in English to Mexico City, directed to
the various Latin-American legations,
With the appeal dispatched, the
United States government will fnsti-
tute friendly and persistent effort to
induce Mexican leaders who thus far
have shown a disposition to oppose
the movement, to sacrifice their per-
sonal views in the common Mexican
interest. That Gen. Carranza will
maintain the defiance he had indicated
in recent communications to his agen-
cy here on the subject is expected by
the administration, but it is regarded
as probable that many of his generals
end other adherents can be induced to
join in a peace convention.
Absolutely no resistance to the plan
is expected from any source other
than from Gen. Carranza, and in some
quarters here the feeling is growing
that even carranza himself may re
spond favorably to the appeal after
he has studied it's friendly tone care
fully and sees that he has been misin
formed regarding its purposes.
