have cheap fertilizer. At the time the powder trust and other combines of- fered to take over the Muscle Shoals proposition and build a nitrate plant and it has been made plain that these powerful trusts have continually tried to sidetrack this great enterprise The president of the Farmers union of ViF- ginia, who is in Washington at this time. states that the farmers of the United States and the southern congress at Norfolk, Va. had indorsed, and rec commended Muscle Shoals, and to locate it at any other point would kill the fer tilizer feature of the bill.
 Tt is not for a year or two this great enterprise is intended. We can get ni- trates to fight this war with from Chile or other arrangements can be made. but the nitrate plan as proposed in the bill with the fertilizer feature is to be the greatest asset the farmer has or will ever get for the next 100 years. at the same time giving the country nitrate in time of war or the future I am told that one big powder company In this country furnishes ali the nitrate of soda sold in America for mercantile purposes. Why should they not cross the path of this great enterprise at Muscle Shoals, as some of the representatives have said?
 VALUE OF WARRIOR
 T do not want to depreciate the War rior but having made a close study of the merits of Muscle Shoals the indorse- ment she has received by the Farmers union of America, the Southern con- gress, the legislatures of Indiana and Ohio, in fact Muscle Shoals claim is na- tion-wide, and is the only place in the United States where the volume of cheap water power can be produced to fill both the nitrate and fertilizer fea- lures.
 T further hope there will not be an attempt made to build an experimental plant at cost of s4O00,000 It looks like a needless expenditure of the peoples money and will have tendency to side track, or indefinitely delay the whole proposition.
 ''The cost between the two places mem tioned should not be seriously consid- cred as one is steam plant, the other water power, which can be maintained at a small cost. Let's help Muscle Shoals get this plant, which is the logical point and has the indorsement of the repre- sentatives. If built at Muscle Shoals with all the intent and purposes of the bill as passed, we will confer the great est favor possible to the farmers and the people of the state, the south, and the United States. This is not a local proposition. but Alabama will reap the greatest benefit. I am with the Warrior on any other proposition, but having lived on the Muscle Shoals for 22 years, and having worked for it's development 15 years feel am consistent, and am certainly conscientious in making these statements"

WAR PRICES AND TAX FEATURE OF MARKET
Heavy Break in Metal on the Stock Market Follows
 Drop in Copper

New York, July 16.-The cleavage be- tween rails and industrials assumed wid- CT proportions in the stock market to- day, the former evincing disposition to supplement last weeks gains, while the numerous equipments and special ties, almost without exception, were heavy when not actually weak.
 War prices and tax again entered large ly into speculative calculations, the pro- fessional element making the most of this vexatfous situation. Reasons for the break in metals were more clearly defined in free offerings of higL-grade copper at quotations considerably under those of the past few weeks.
 Money conditions distinctly favored the short account, call loans rising to 10 per cent; the high rate for the year, presum- ably in consequence of last Saturdays adverse bank statement Peace rumors again circulated actively and were not without effect upon the distinctive war issues. United States Steel was the pivot around whicE the market revolved in it's more active months. Steel made an ex- treme break of sA points to 11s%, it's lowest price in two months Bethlehem Steel lost 43s and recessions in others or that group ranged from to points

VICE IS RAMPANT
NEAR CAMPS, S,SAYS
MRS. HUMISTON

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Sensational
disclosures here by Mrs. Grace Humis-
ton regarding the social evil in the
vicinity of certain army camps may
lead to combining the efforts OF the
suffrage party and the civil and Fed
eral authorities in relieving the situa-
tion, II was announced today.
When Mrs. Humiston declared last
night that in the vicinity OF single
camp there are 600 girls about
to become mothers. there was amaze
ment on the faces OF the banqueters
she had been called on to address.
Reports have reached her. she said,
that several girls similarly situated
had died in the vicinity of Camp
Upton.
The banquet was held TO celebrate
the victory of woman suffrage in New
York. and was under auspices OF the
Women Lawyers Association.
It is probable that several members
Of the association will accompany
Mrs. Humiston when she goes to Camp
Upton some time today to make a
personal investigation OF the reports
that have been made to her.
The question, she said, that IL
now facing the men and women OF
New York is: what are we going
to do about the hundreds OF girls who
are about TO become mothers?"

ers Is "the grossest exaggeration."
There are a few unfortunate girls
near every camp and we can't help It
under the circumstances" said Fos-
dick, "but this story of Mrs. Humis-
toms is damnable because II gives the
impression that our boys in uniform
are wild animals, when, in fact, they
are behaving in splendid fashion.

The New York woman detective,

charged gross immortality at Camp
Upton, which Fosdick emphatically
denied, too.
Men Not All Perfect.
THE men in the camps are not all
perfect. and it is sometimes difficult
TO drive from the neighborhood the
clandestine and professional scarlet
women" said FOsdick.
But the country needn't get
alarmed over Mrs. Humiston's state
ments. The daily reports from our
men in the camps and nearby cities
prove the American armies are
clean"
Authorities in cities near the camps
have been finally convinced that the
Government means to drive out i'm
