BREAK WITH ALLIES
WOULD RUIN i. S.
FOREIGN COMMERCE
Report of Bureau Shows
Almost Entire Export
Trade Is With Entente
Countries at War
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, December 6-(SpeciaL)
From report of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, covering a 10
months trade period expiring with Oc-
tober, 1916, just made public, it is proved
by figures that a break between the
United States and the allies would de-
stroy to all practical purposes. the for
eign commerce of the United States.
American exports within the 10 months
period amounted to s4,A3S26, ri. OF that
total, exports to the United Kingdom
or the British empire, amounted to ST.
557221, 430; to France, $40, 400, S12; to Italy,
1929, 952,692; to Russia, s249, O93, 1S1.
During the 10 months considered,
American exports to Germany amounted
to $1,11S, 2S1. To hold the great bulk of
American export trade to the allies the
very small German trade could be easily
foregone. Trade with Germany during
October, 1916 was blank, according to the
statement of the department
The import trade for the 10 months
period between the United States and
the United Kingdom amounted to S257 600, :
900. 1t is remarkable that importatons
from Cuba to the United States within
the same period amounted to $21S, 1913, 600.

In this connection, II Is learned that in

forth the advantage which Development

to Georgia, and that Immediately there-

In this connection, there is certain sur

whereas all Alabama in spirit IS pulling
together, several municipalities imme-
dately on the Tennessee have failed to
make good their contributions. Among
these is mentioned Decatur, Huntsville
and Tuscumbia, the latter nesting on the
very brink Of Muscle Shoals. Since Biz
miEgham responded so handsomely and
smaller cities. notably Athens have
done their part. the seeming indifference
OF others is the subject Of considerable
gossip.
While members OF the Alabama con-
gressional delegation are hopeful regard
ing Muscle Shoals they realize that the
battle is simply raging and that the ulti-
mate result is still in doubt. Develop
ments prior to January are deemed prob
able.

JUDGE SKEGGS MAY
GET INTO THE RACE
FOR SECOND PLACE
Morgan County Man Is
Slated to Run if PrOhibi-
ton Is Not Made
an Issue
BY CLARENCE G. THoMAsoN

Albany, December 6-(Special.)-Ju
William E. Skeggs hat will be in the next
political ring. His friends say so with
emphasis. They have scheduled the Nor
gan county probate judge for the race
for lieutenant governor.
While the pull is heavy. Judge Skeggs
is not sure he will be dragged into the
race, although he is considering it favor
ably and probably will get in. He will
not want to make the race if the pro-
hibition question is made the issue. Judge
Skeggs would appreciate the honor of the
office, but is unwilling to conduct a heat
ed campaign upon an issue which he sees
no need of injecting into the campaign.
In other words he desires that the people
elect him in clean man-to-man fight
with the other candidates who may en-
ter, leaving out the question of prohibit
ten.
L would not consider making the race"
same turmoil that characterized the last
state election. In the first place think
the issue is settled and as the state laws
are fixed and being enforced rigidIy,
there is no use in stirring the hornets
nest up again.
Judge Skeggs has another reason for
delaying his decision. He stated that he
was not looking for political glory, and
that the office of the lieutenant governor
was mode an office of honor than of
financial gain. However, he said he
would make the race on the above con-
dition, and in the event he saw that there

the campaign. He is not in favor of
going too deeply into his finances
Judge Skeggs is one of the best known
politicians in north Alabama. He served
one term in the house of representatives,
and was elected state senator in 1883,
serving four years. In 1896 he was APP
pointed to the office of probate judge of
! Morgan county by Governor Oates and
was elected to the office in 1898. He has
| been reelected to the office every six
years since until the last primary, when
| he was defeated. Where there was an
| issue he has always been a local OPP
| ZIONIST.
There probably is no other man in the
state whose local pull will be greater
| than that of Judge Skeggs. He has a
| strong political backing and his friends
are determined to put him in if possible
| The fact that this immediate section
| of the state has never elected a state
official, will have considerable weight in
the matter of bringing pressure to bear
| on Judge Skeggs to enter the race. He
| is the only probable candidate in this
! section now, and for the lieutenant gov
| ernorship, there has been only one prob
| able announcement mentioned, and that
| is of former Mayor Bellinger of Gads-
| den who in an interview with an Age
| Herald reporter a few weeks ago, talked
| favorable of entering at the instance of
| his friends.
