Officers and Men Have
 Different Languages

Budapest. Hungary, April s-(Special.) In the greater part of the Austro Hun garian army, the men and officers can not speak each others language and do not understand one another. About 70 per cent of the men of the army are Hungarian, while the proportion of off cers is just the reverse-65 per cent are Austrian. 20 per cent Hungarian and 15 per cent Czech and other nationalities. The Hungarian officers are in no case allowed to serve the Hungarian regiments;
 the Hungarian regiments are without exception officered by Austrians, who sell dom speak Magyar. The word of com mand is given in German, and therefore noncommissioned Hungarian officers are selected who have at least a smattering of both languages. It seems remarkable that the Austro-Hungarian army should be 70 per cent Hungarian, for the popu- lation of Hungary is only 2O.000.OO0. while the population of Austria is nearly s, GOO, . coo. This is explained mainly by the fact that 9 greater part of the population of

BRITISH CRUISERS
 SEARCHING SHIPS

Peking April -(Correspondence of the
 Associated Press.)-Great surprise was
 caused in Peking by the announcement
 that a British auxiliary cruiser stopped
 the American steamer China. flying the
 American flag, outside of Shanghai and removed 3s Germans from her on Feb
 ruary IS. The China left Shanghai bound
 for Nagasaki and was destined for San
 Francisco by way of Honolulu.
 Fifteen of the 3S Germans taken from
 the steamer were German sailors from
 ships interned in Shanghai, and all the
 3S men are reported to have been of
 military age.
 The China was also stopped as she was going into Manila on this same trip.
 A British man-o' war fired two shots across her bow and put on board a party
 which conducted a search. No one was taken off at that time
 The Tenyo Maru, of the Toyen Risen Kaisha, was also stopped on her last trip to Manila and searched by British auxiliary cruiser. Eight Indians were taken off the ship. among them being 2 man named Bargie. a Harvard graduate. The eight Indians are supposed to have been connected with plots against the British government in India.
 When the British auxiliary cruiser ap- preached the Tenyo Maru the captain of the Japanese ship did not understand the flag signal for her to stop. shot was fired across her bow and the Tenyo halt ed, and was boarded by an armed party of eight commanded by Lieutenant Steele of the auxiliary cruiser. The English cruiser is said to be the White Star liner Laurentic.

When w. c. Crozier Drove First Stake in Cincinnati
 Southern R. R. in 1869

T am 76 years old and feel 'spry as a colt, said w. C. Crozier when he called at the Live and Let Live Drug Store ir Chattanooga sometime ago to purchase his second bottle of Tanlac Captain Crozier, who resides at 513 West Sixth street, has been making his home il Chattanooga for the past four years, and IS perhaps the oldest and best known railroad civil engineer in the southern states
 Coming from a person of his advanced age, Captain Crozer's statement is to be considered remarkable and will no doubt be read with unusual interest by his nu- merous friends, who will be glad to learn that he is again hale ana hearty and en- toying the best of health. His statement follows:
 I am 76 years old and have been in active service as a civil engineer for a greater part of the time for the past St years. I drove the first stake for the Cincinnati Southern railroad in 1869, and was for seven years first division engi- neer for this road. was also civil engi- neer for the city of Knoxville for several years, which was my home for about 20 years
 T always enjoyed very good health up to about four years ago, when I began having rheumatism and stomach trou- ble. I was hardly ever sick enough to go to bed, but was all out of shape and unfit for work. At tinies I suffered so with rheumatic pains and stiff joints I could hardly get about. and most of the time my appetite was so poor I didn't care whether meal time can.e rF not Finally indigestion and rheun.at to- gether began to get on my nery and l could not sleep with any e 1ort. would also have a very une@ 4iortable feeling in my stomach for ITS after eating.
 Many time wished for .a return of the good old days when I could do jus tice to a ration of corn bread, beans and bacon, like we used to have in the rail- road camps, and then lie down at night in tent and sleep like log. I had about given up hope of ever feeling right again, as I took all kinds of medi- cine without getting any relief what ever.
 T first heard of Tanlac through the Knoxville papers and ordered a bottle from Kuhlman- Chambllss company That was before they got it here in Chatta- >nooga. As soon as I saw it advertised here in the News I came right straight to get another bottle. This Tanlac is the most perfect medicine for my trouble I have ever found anywhere. It just seemed to suit me and built me up from the start. Why, I feel no more like the same man than if I were a different person. I actually feel 10 years younger since I began taking it. have an appe- tite like school boy, and can eat any, thing put on the table I also sleep well and wake up mornings feeling refreshed and ready for breakfast. can conscien- tiously recommend Tanlac and want al my friends to know what it has done for me-
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Patton-Pope Drug Go. and Flu gene Jacobs Drug Co.,, in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,, in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,, in Pratt City by Gale Drug Co. and in North Birming- ham by Walker Drug company.-Adv.

The following address of Mrs
 Mathis was delivered in New Or
 leans, April IS, before the Conference
 of Education and Industries:
 "In Dixie land. the land of cotton old time land and not forgotten there are old time problems looming up fol new time thinkers to solve. It is mol sufficient excuse to say that we had not thought to think. Getting our heads into the game, taking broader view comparing our beloved southland with other agricultural lands in the United States, convinces us that ours is real ly a land of opportunity but an op- portunity to which many of her cit izens are blind
 Opportunities are nothing to the one who does not care for them and nc amount of opportunity will lend to in- dependence and success if the indi- viduality of the people does not lead them to grasp the passing seasons and make them cash out.
 BESTIR OWN PEOPLE
 To bestir our own people of the south and make them really see the things that can be accomplished and accomplished so easily is the task that is set before us and is the goal fol which we strive. That we can our selves do these things more readily than anyone else is thoroughly appar- ent to everyone familiar with southern life. To say that we have a plan and are able to work it is speaking a truth which trio 1Jo, is this: Let each county in each state go after itself and solve it's own prob- lems. The county is a unit already es- tablished and for that req son lends it. self very readily to any plan of self development and self education
 The trade and banking interests ot each county are more or less centered within the radius of that county and they touch the farming class Of people in more vital way than can be se- cured through any other unit. When the problems of each county are solved the problems of the state are solved and yet people have not gone from their homes nor without their trade territory nor without the scope of each mans interest in order to secure these things. It is easier to secure hearty cooperation for a development based upon the county as 8 unit than it is to attempt to take in statewide agri- cultural development as such.
 WORKING OUT THE PLAN
 The plan having been outlined, the next thing is how to work it. In Ala bama it is working itself, so to speak. There is great deal of county pride and wholesome rivalry that contributes very largely to the success of the of ort. There are chambers Of com merce in most of the county seats and these take a very active interest in county development, there are county superintendents of education and they are anxious to promote county interest and county growth, and through the public schools and county high schools of which there is one in each county of Alabama a very fine channel is open for cooperative community work The demonstration forces are located in many counties of Alabama and are faithful helpers who go to the indi- vidual farmers and their homes and

WAYS OF GETTING STARTED

It IS difficult to enumerate the various ana sundry ways the people have devised for getting started for all these things Some have received an advance of cash from the banks, others have taken the live stock on share basis and many have been able to buy the live stock and start in quite a pretentious way. Large sums have been spent in Alabama within the last 12 months for the purchase of high grade breeding stock, and stock auc- tions have been held in almost every county. Those auctions are well attended and the stock has sold at quite a good price.
 The best evidence of how rapidly a change can come about is evidenced in the bulletin report for crop production in the state of Alabama last year. We grew 100000 bushels more of corn, than we did the year before; we grew 75O,O0O bushels more of wheat; 1,5O0000 more of oats, the largest hay crop in the history of the state; several million bushels more of potatoes and peas and beans in like proportion. We taught the people how to control the corn weevil and the pen weevil that has cost Alabama s6,O00,0O0 a year. We are getting rid of the cattle tick at marvellous rate and that costs Alabama s1,0o0,OOo year. The canning of home grown products, the raising of live stock and poultry and other things too numerous to mention will carry us in to probably $3O, 1000 saved in one year That alone has raised the credit of the state more than s100,0OO.O00.
 Isn't it worth while? Isn't it worth the effort of all the people? This vast sum of money is scattered out into the homes of the small farmer the same as into the homes of the well-to-do, and everywhere there is better feeling of hope and cheer and more money is stay ing at home than before We realize now that the dollar that goes the farthest is the dollar that stays at home.

rected efforts along the line of one-croT production has been the real burden oi the south and the world will really be astounded to see how quickly we car change that whole thing. and solve the mighty problem of the south turning heI millions of people along better and higher lines, for we are all aroused now and everybody is talking and pushing along the same great thought.
 Public sentiment is crystalizing around diversified farming and live stock grow ing and counties that year ago were great importers of meat have within the past six months shipped out S950 900 worth Of live stock, some shipping as many as lOG carloads of hogs within the past 9C days. There is an abundant market for live stock and the people are carefully studying proper and cheap feeding Cot ton IS a surplus money crop only.
 BALANCE NATIONS
 Balanced rations for live stock feeding has led to what is known in the market as ground mixed feed which is composed of corn, hay, oats and molasses, all being farm products easily grown on any and all lands in the south. It now becomes imperative to manufacture such mixed feeds in each county in order to supply popular demand for that class of goods
 In very many of the counties of Ala pdind HiiAeu 1eeQ plants are already eS- tablished, thereby making a market for all the surplus products of that class that the farmers can produce. It is just an easy and a simple way of making a good market for everything that is sur plus on the farm along the line of feeds
 Cooperative canning is being develop ed m a great many counties, so much IS that the case that the states of Mary land and Virginia are feeling the loss of southern market for canned goods.
 Packing plants are being erected in va- rlous cities and towns to buy and slaugh- ter the live stock grown on the farms and very soon we hope to eliminate our vast imports of meat and lard and be- come exporters. With these three chan nels open for the local marketing of farm products great door is open for the producer. Then there should be added to this list creameries which are being es- tablished in many localities to consume the dairy products and the demand for poultry products always standing at a high level there should go into the homes Of our people a great deal more money than has been realized by the cotton method.

FARMERS VICTIMS
OF LAND FRAUDS
CHAIN OF ILLEGAL ORGANIZA-
TIONS USE RURAL CREDITS
ACT FOR BASIS OF FRAUD
Department of Justice to Investigate
Operations of Chain of Stock
Selling Concerns

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE fed
eral farm loan board has asked the
department of justice to investigate
the chain of alleged illegal organiza-
lions who are defrauding the farmers
through the latter's ignorance of the
rural credits act. The organizations
have sold stock to farmers and one
group of farmers are reported to have
lost $350,000.
The illegal concerns have made gov
errors and congressman innocent par
ties to their operations. Although the
board refused to divulge names it is
declared prominent men in all walks
of life are involved.
The concerns operated in the most
prosperous farming communities and
unless it is halted the board believes
the affair will develop into the great
est financial fraud in the history of
America.
