senator Reed Urges Preparedness

eve are beginning to find out that III
inch shells can't be stopped with rifles

peace at any price and have liberty at
any cost. TO contend that preparedness
is an invitation to war Is as bad as say
ing that when a farmer loads shotgun
and stands behind his door he Invites
burglary"
So said Senator James a, Reed or Mis-
souri, in an address on preparedness be-
fore am audience that applauded en-
Enthusiastically and occasionally waved
American flags last night at the Hippo

ONLY 24 HOUSE VOTES
PLEDGED TO ARMY PLAN

Ohcials say that unless the supply Of

midshipman corps at Annapolis there
will be AN acute need for more officers
In two years and that unless something
is done to remedy the situation ~ good

year and in subsequent years. cannot be

or war footing.
II is regarded AZ highly important by
naval officers as well MS by the advo-
Gates of preparedness Of Congress that
the work OF defence shall he begun by
providing more officers for the navy. and
IL is the understanding that another bill
will be shortly introduced taking the
same precautions as to the army.
Could Have Large Class.
The enactment OF the bill into law
at this time would enable the Depart
mcnt to have large class appointed
to enter Annapolis AZ the beginning Of
the next academic year.
Chairman Padgett's motion to have
the academy bill considered tomorrow
doubtless will be the signal for hot
debate on preparedness Four members
of the Naval Committee voted against
reporting the bill
To-morrows debate is awaited with
great interest by the, opponents and
proponents of national defence. II Will
bring up the question OF preparedness
In concrete form for the first time since
President Wilson submitted his defence
plan to Congress. and will come AT a
moment when there Is lively discussion
as to the effect Of the Presidents
speeches on sentiment in the middle
West.
II ~ altogether likely that the debate
will be marked by an address by Speaker
Clark. Early IN the session the Speaker
offered bill providing for the appoint
ment of additional midshipnen at An
napolis. To this extent he has declared
for defence He has likewise issued
statements in which he has made the
announcement that he faN orcd reason

Clark has not disclosed his views on

THE SoUTH,S WEALTH

The most conservative estimates
place this years cotton crop ct II. 900,
900 bales, which at the present market
price will bring l,012, 100, 900.
Adding to this price of the lint the
$3.50, OOO. 900 which the seed will bring
at current prices, it will be noted that
the South is receiving this year from
cotton alone the enormous sum of 81,
245. 100, 900, or approximately one and
one-quarter billions Of dollars.
These ars facts that the advertiser,
the man who studied the economic con-
ditions of the country as no other per-
son does, gives US. He believes in the
wealth of the south. He sees that he
is mistaken In his old idea that all of
the prosperity of the nation lies in the
northern states-the so-called corn belt
Of America.
To maintain this position Of impor-
tance 1t lie going to be necessary for
southern farmers to do some steady
thinking. The best farmers say that
cotton alone, that lack Of diversified
tiOn. will ruin any farm spd any farm
er sooner or later. Great as cotton is
this year, it will never be great enough
to hold prosperity for the South with
cut such crops as clover, corn, alfalfa,
Iespedezs, hogs, cattle and sheep.
