Wheat, Flax, Hides and Meat to Cost Annually $3OO,OOO,OOO Being
 Arranged For
PART PA Y M FEN T IN l CASH, REMAINDER TO
 BE GOTTEN ON CREDIT 1
An Opportunity for Alabama Coal Operators Exists in Fact That Argentina Wants Coal More
 Than Anything
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, November 26.-(Spe- cial.)--The United States is negotiat- ing with the Argentine republic for wheat, flax, hides and meat to cost annually $500 100000
 The annual expenditure will be di- vided by the United States and Great Britain, payment being made partly in cash. For the remainder the Ar genuine will extend credit.
 From an authoritative source it is learned that the Argentine republic is more anxious that a trade arrange ment between that country and the United States be established than that each transaction be concluded By cash settlement. Of all the American prod ucts the republic is more in need of American coal.
 In that fact reposes an opportu nifty for Alabama coal operators which it is pointed out, will endure not only for the length of the war, but for an indefinite period thereafter. A high of ficial of the government suggested this morning that Alabama operators secure number of ships, necessarily a small numDer III the DeSlnnlnS, ana establish selling agencies in Buenos Aires. He declared that if handicaps in this connection be overcome, very fancy market could be obtained in which Alabama coal might be retailed for $50 per ton.
 The handicaps referred to were pres ent difficulty in securing coal and a shortage of transports. Both. in the opinion of this authority. could, by inn mediate and determined effort. be overcome.
 It is his opinion that no greater opportunity for Alabama coal pro- ducers has been offered as a result of the war than pending trade ne gotiations with South American countries
 It was his thought that on account of the desire of this government to weld itself in lasting friendship with South American republics very little difficulty would be thrown in the way of legitimate private operations.

ALABAMA MAY WIN TWO AVIATION CAMPS Tuscaloosa and Montgomery Ap- plicant Cities-GOvernment to
 Expend $sO,O00 Upon
 Each Camp
Ny HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, November 26-(Spe- cial. )-That Alabama would win one and probably two aviation camps seemed probable tonight. The location of a nayiation camp means the immediate expenditure by the government of $S0,000.
 Representative Dent, returning to Washington today presented Montgomery's claim to the war de- partment. He was accompanied by Clayton Tullis, president of the Montgomery Chamber of Com merce, and Berryman c. Betty. He afterward announced that in his opinion Montgomery chances were very good.
 one camp in the south has been located Arcadia. Fla, was the suc- cessful city. This announcement was followed by another to the effect that no camp would be To- cated in Georgia. This was taken by MT Dent to mean that Ala bama's chances were bettered

greater quantities during that period than at any time since the entrance of the United States into the war.
 The widening scope of Red Cross work in Europe and the fact that cold weather Is bringing with it pressing needs that must be met were said to be responsible for the increased shipments. The Red Cross is supplying not only war hospitals, but also the infirmaries, re- cuperating stations canteens, dispen- saries. homes for nurses, and many other things which 1t established in France to help save American lives and the lives of allied soldiers and civilian sufferers as we'll

miniature precipice without seeing the enemy. They saw them then, in mum bers. and realized for the first time that they were headed for drop of several feet to the level of the road.
 Not horseman hesitated. They took the flying leap, straight down among the surprised Germans and began their work of death. Half a hundred of the enemy lay dead when the remainder took to their heels and fled toward Rumilly.
 CUT OFF FROM FORCES
 The cavalry commander then was out of touch with the remainder of the ad- vancing British forces and decided to re- main in the sunken road for time until he could get orders. Accordingly he sent back a courier to carry infor- nation as to the location of the squad. It developed quickly that another force of German machine gunners was sta- toned in a commanding position nearby. These opened a grlling fire on the cav airy and succeeded in killing several horses within short time.
 | It became apparent that the men and the rest of the horses must suffer the same fate if they remained where they were The commander knew it would be | suicide to ride out into the open, and he seized upon an ingenious plan to out
 wit the Germans. The horses were gath-
 cred together and stampeded with their
 empty saddles in the direction of Cam
 brai The ruse worked, for the Germans, peering through the mist, thought the
 horsemen escaped.
 The machine, guns came into action Iagainst the gafloping horses and the troopers meantime made good their es- cape from the road. They started back, but losing their way, at one time were actually in the outskirts of Rumilly. This may have given rise to report which became current that the British had occupied the village.
 GERMANS TRAPPED
 | The Canadians continued their journey toward what they thought were British lines As they were proceeding, they
 were challenged by German officer
 with nine men. It happened that among the troopers was a little chap who spoke
 German fluently. He was sent forward with orders to engage the officer in cons
 versation until the rest of the troopers could close in with their sabres.
 The little emissary fulfilled his mis-
 sion by expressing the attention of the 1 officer with cock and bull story to
 which the German listened because he
 did not know that the British cavalry was in his zone. He listened a moment too long, however, for the Canadians
 rushed in and killed the men accompany ing the enemy officer. The latter was taken prisoner and compelled to conduct
 Inc horsemen back to their own lines.

George B. Mccormick, president of the Alabama Coal Operators associa- tion, challenged practically every statement made by MT. Lewis. He asked, that MT. Lewis give him the names of the alleged 500 men in order that proof might be offered that prac- tically all of them had never been employed by producing companies of the Birmingham district.
 The names were not furnished
 MT. Mccormack later insisted that MT. Lewis state how many miners in the Birmingham district paid dues to the union. MT. Lewis, declaring this private matter, declined. The miners had previously declared the number to be 23,000. The operators contended that not more than 400 recognized the union.

Lewis, vice president of the national organi- zation.
 The conference was called by Dr. Garfield in order that the question of production might be considered The miners took occasion to declare that strike could be ordered at any time and that the operators were imposing an unbearable financial burden on the international organization by refusing to reinstate men discharged for hay ing affiliated with the union. To morrow, according to report tonight, the miners will insist that the oper- ators grant an increase in the wages of day laborers amounting to about $1 per man per day. Before the ses- sions are completed, it is thought that both sides will enter into an agree ment with the fuel administration to inflict on themselves penalty of $i per day per man effected in the event of cessation of labor.
 Inasmuch as the conference was called to consider the question of pro- duction, MT. Mccormack. in his open

CHARGED INTO GUNS

The monitors were in a tight place and needed assistance badly. They got it. The cavalry came pounding up in col umns of four and their leader, sizing up the situation, sent them swerving in on either side of the battery. Then they charged in straight among the gun crews, their sabres flashing. It was over in a moment and the Hast enemy lay trampled upon.
 This incident finished, the cavalry trotted off in search of other adven- lures. Not far away was sunken road, which concealed considerable enemy forces armed with machine guns. Cav- airy scouts discovered this trap, and, dashing back, gave the word to the com mander. The latter snapped out com mand and the squadron, most of whom were still unaware of the presence of the sunken road, divided into two bod ies, one of which deployed to ehe right toward a break in the wall of the road, while the other drew their sabres and charged straight ahead.

BRITISH CAVALRY
 British Headquarters in France, Sun
 day, November 25.-By the Associated
 Press )-The British cavalry have had many thrilling experiences since the
 battle began in the Cambrai sector last Tuesday and opened a way for them into the great territory over which they
 have roamed almost at will, like cava- Hers of old seeking combats with those
 who would accept their gage.
 Stories of their gallant charges with
 drawn sabres against enemy batteries and in strong infantry positions have been innumerable. But perhaps none of them had more exciting time than a squadron of Canadian horsemen who took their way in a northeasterly di- rection from Masnieres after the even tual smashing of the Hindenburg line. They swept proudly out of Masnieres o7 their chargers with their sabres mak- ing merry music against their trappings. They returned afoot and thereby hangs narrative of bravery and strategy which is worth recording.
 | For considerable distance the horse men cantered along over the rolling grass lands without encounterng any
 enemy. East of Rumilly, however. they came upon several British tanks which had run almost into German battery position and were being fired at point l ha. T
