Long Branch, N. J., Sept. IS
President Wilson decided today to
take advantage of the earliest posi-
Bile opportunity to. challenge the
statement made by Charles E. Hughes
in recent speeches that the basis on
which the recently threatened rail-
road strike was averted was merely
an increase OF wages for the en-

The president, his political advis-
ers said today, considers the princi-
pie of the eight-hour day vitality al
fected by the strike settlement and
will seek to show that while the rail-
road legislation passed by congress
to meet the situation will give the
employees at least temporary in
crease in pay, the more important
point is that it established the eight

County Chairman Howell, speaking
for the county central committee.
When Charles E. Hughes became a
member Of the supreme court Of the
United States the Legislative Labor
News Of New York printed the fol-
lowing: Nov that Governor Hughes
has retired from politics and asccnded
to place on the highest judicial
tribunal in the world, the fact can be
acknowledged without hurting any
body's political corns, that he was
the greatest friend Of labor laws
that ever occupied the governors
chair at ALBANY. During his
two terms he has signed fiji
ty-six labor laws, including among
them the Lest labor laws ever enacted
In this or any other state. He also
urged the enactment Of labor laws

even going so far as to place the de-
mand for a labor law in one Of his

ENTENTE DRAWS
NOTE TO SWEDEN
Friction Over Blockade Policy
Of Great Britain Apparently
Nearing Acute Stage.
SWEDEN SEXES ooFrEE

Paris, Sept. l5.-The French gov
eminent has instructed the minister
at Stockholm to join with the other
entente ministers in presenting a
friendly but firm note to Sweden in
regard to its policy of neutrality. The
note takes issue with the position OF
Sweden in distinguishing between
submarines for war and those for
commerce, which the French govern
ment afirms has IAN effect contrary
to neutrality" since the Swedish
naval forces would hesitate to attack
German submarine in Swedish wa
tiers under the pretext that 1t might
be commercial submarine, where
as there would be no similar hesita-
ton in dealing with submarine Of
the allies because they have no COM
mercial submarines.
Sweden Seizes Coffee.
Berlin, Sept. l5.-(By Wireless to
Sayviile. "A Stockholm dispatch to
the Overseas News agency says that
Sweden has held up 10000 tons OF
coffee destined for Finland, presu-
! mably on account OF the fact that
Great Britain has detained shipments
! of-coffee for Sweden. As a result
there is great scarcity Of coffee in
Finland.
Great Britain and Sweden have
been at odds since the early period
of the war, and Sweden's unyielding
attitude evidently has resulted in a
decision to exert the combined pres
sure Of all the entente allies on it.
Difficulties arose from the allied
blockade Of Germany, resulting in
the hold up Of goods en- route to
Sweden. which were suspected to be
destined for Germany. Sweden re-
taliated by holding up large quanti-
ties Of parcel post matter in transit
b.twecr England and Russia.
This led to an exchange Of notes,
which accomplished nothing, and
early this month deadlock was
reached. Great Britain insisted as a
9, ndition to submitting the dispute
to arbitration that Sweden must
promise not to interfere again with
English mail matter. Sweden de-
clined and the Swedish minister at
London went to the continent, to be
gone for several weeks. Ncgotia-
tons were transferred to Stockholm,
but the latest advices from London
were that no solution Of the prob
lem was in sight.

with as great commercial assets, and at the rapid rate of increase in the number of cattle grown and fattened in the alfalfa belt Alabama beef will in few years become as famous as the choicest in this country. And as for hogs, Alabama can easily rival Iowa. Last year witnessed a new high record in corn production in Ala bama-nearly 70,0O0,0O0 bushels. It should reach the 100000, ,O00-bushel mark this year, and the number of hogs should increase in like propor- ton.
 Alabama was proud of it's bumper cotton crop of 1,700,000 bales in 1914, but much smaller crops have brought more money to the state. If the crop made in Alabama this year is not more than 500,000 bales so much the better, if only the farmers will intensity their efforts in food production.
 Make this the banner year in food crops and live stock and Alabama will be better off next winter than it has ever been in all it's history.

sunday's Issue of The Age-Herald

Yesterdays Age-Herald, from ootn news and advertising viewpoint was a striking exemplification of the renewed activities in Alabama at this time in every line of endeavor.
 Probably tine three subjects Tn winch the people of Alabama are most Ill., terested just now are the MeXicah situation, Alabama politics ana Fashion Week; and as for the base hall fans they are always interested in their hobby. These subjects were giyen special attention in yesterdays Age-Herald.
 The Associated Press reports on the Mexican situation are, of course, what people depend on for the real news, and on Sunday these reports are found in Birmingham only in The Age-Her- aid.
 Aside from handling the various news features of Fashion Week three full pages of the Rotogravure Section yesterday were devoted to artistic illustrations of women's fashions.
 The Age-Herald always carries the fullest and most accurate political news published in Alabama. Tester day in addition to articles on the ac- tivities of various candidates, two full rages were devoted to 100-word ex- pressions from the candidates them selves on why they should be elected to the offices they seek.
 The advertisements in yesterday $ issue were models of artistic effect. There were SIS separate advertise 1nents, occupying S114 inches of space, 436 inches more than on the cor responding Sunday of 1915.

Fashion Week Weather

The United States government forecaster states it thus: For Ala bama, Mississippi and Georgia-Fair, warmer Monday; Tuesday, fair"
 That means, so far as meteorological science will justify the prediction, that Birnningham's Fashion Week will start off under a clear sky and with balmy atmosphere.
 As to fair Tuesday we can only hope. In other years atmospheric changes came less suddenly than they have been coming in recent months. Therefore the prudent citizen will carry an umbrella on March IA.
 But the goosebone prophet ventures the remark that fully 75 per cent of Fashion Week weather will be warm and fair

A Serious Undertaking

While there can be no doubt that once having undertaken the stern busi- ness of netting out justice, Uncle Sam will not pause until he has eliminated Villa from Mexico, the so-called "pun- itive expedition" will not be simply a lark for a small band of government troops. Fighting Mexican bandit in his liar, where he knows every water hole and every nook that will afford him shelter, and where he may count on the active sympathy of the people, may in itself prove far from easy. The Mexican government has never been able to conquer a handful of Yaqui Indians and Villa is quite as wary as these aborigines are, whom he may eventually find useful. Aside from the difficulties which may attend the capture of Villa, there is the possibility that grave interna- tional complications may result, due to the hatred of practically all Mexi- cans for Americans. A punitive ex- petition may become an army of in- vasion, opposed not only by the out laws of northern Mexico, but also by other malcontents, with whom the country is swarming.
 Judging from his present attitude, it will be no fault of Carranza if the 1 United States should be compelled to conquer Mexico, but the first chief | is by no means secure in his position and while the United States has prac- tically made him the de facto head of the government, for which he should be grateful, he would be powerless if the Mexican people should rise against the United States. If he escaped with his life, Carranza would probably lose no time in getting into American ter ritory.
 There is no cause for undue alarm, but patriotic impulses should not blind us to the gravity of the situa- ton and the possibility of real war. Instead of 5000 men, 50,0o0, or half a million, might be needed to settle the Mexican problem once and for all, but at present there is no indication that Villa will succeed in his avowed deter mination to embroil the United States with Mexico.

From the Boston Transcript.
 Frederick Graves of Waterville, Me, has just been able to put the price ot s1e0Co upon shabby old book which he bought for 10 cents at q rummage sale. The book is copy of d pamphlet by Noah Webster, said to have been written and printed by Webster while he was still at school. It is understood to be unique, and the Waterville papers rep resent Harvard university as crying it's eyes out because it cannot get hold of it.
 Mir. Graves picked up the $10,000 for 10 cents at a sale of all sorts of things by women who were raising money for a church--just one of those religious rum mage sales where you bring something you don't want for the good of a cause.
