Aliens With First Papers
viii Not Be Exempted
For Dependents Abroad

Roscoe 5. Conkling, director Of the
draft in this city, last night called at
tontion 10 a misconception that has
arisen regarding the status Of aliens
under the selective service law. The
erroneous belief has recently spread,
he said, that aliens with first papers
would be exempted on the ground of
dependency, even when the relatives
they support live in foreign countries.
"Originally the government officials
made II plain" said Mr.. Conkling, that
only dependents who reside in the
United States would be considered in
exemption cases. Then, some time ago,
an untrue report was circulated that
no alien would be exempted, even if he
supported his relatives in Europe.
"The operation of the service law
has strikingly shown the problem OF
the alien which confronts US. In this
country there are thousands who have
eXpatriated themselves from their for
mer fatherlands in Europe and have
come 70 this country without assuming
the responsibilities Of citizenship.

Sailors Hire Clothes
In Which to Buy Drinks
How Prohibition Decree Is
Circumvented Revealed
by Arrests

Two arrests yesterday. one at Coney
Island and the other at Port Jervis,
y. Y, betrayed, according TO the po-
lice. the methods pursued by United
States sailors in their efforts 70 avoid
the drink prohibition placed on them
since the outbreak of the war. Nigor-
Gus measures are to be taken at once
to stamp out the evil.
Earl Shaurek, eighteen, attached TO
the cruiser Olympia, was arrested at
Coney Island and taken before Mag
istrate Geismar, charged with IntoXi-
cation. When arraigned, he was in
civilian clothes. The magistrate asked
him why he was not in uniform, and
Snaurek explained that a second hand
clothing dealer on Sand street, near
the Navy Yard, was holding his uni
form until he returned the suit he had
on and for which he was paying a
rental Of 81. The sailor told the mag
istrate il was common practice for
many Of the men at the navy yard 10

Up at Port Jeryis, Albert Ronalds,

Oft an Erie freight train, straight into
the arms of a waiting policeman. When
he was arraiCned before Police Justice
Reyans, he said he had been in a saloon
in Jersey City early in the day. and
srilor had asked him to buy a drink
He had refused, so the sailor asked him
to exchange clothing for time. That
appealed TO Ronalds as being fair
enough, so he did. When the sailor
failed to return after long wait,
Ronalds climbed aboard the reght
train, uniform and all. Judge Bevans
fined him $40 for train riding. and or
dered the uniform shipped back to the
ravy yard. Ronalds was furnished
overalls and jumpers until he could

The Mission of Secretary Wilson

The MlsslOm ot Secretary WlASom ID IRMINGHAM extends cordial welcome to Secretary of ID Labor Wilson, who arrived last night to investigate t controversy between the coal operators and miners of this district.
 Mr. Wilson has been conspcuousy successful in settling labor troubles elsewhere in the country notably the Penn syvania coal fields He of excellent judgment whose liability and experience admirably lit him for the place he holds in the President cabinet The people of Bmngha feel that his visit will prove beneficial to all parties concerned and the general public who intensely interested the local coal situation There every to believe that the conclusions reached by him will be fair and impartial taking into consid eraon the national emergency which requires that the output of coal be uninterrupted and that private interests whether of operators miners must give way the needs of the nation
 Everyone realizes that strike would be deporabe and while lit Is hoped that will it will be highly gratifying to have amicable settlement made possible Mr. Will will offer his services freely both to the operators and to the miners and will endeavor by his good offices adjust diff erences which for time threatened the graves consequences
 The people of Birmingham appreciate the interest shown by Mir. Wilson in coming to Alabama at time when every ernent official is overwored and they trust that he will ceed in his patriotic efforts to restore harmony.

She knows where she can serve and she only, and the government wants her to serve can serve best.

launched the mad emprise which plunged the world into war.
 Like most observers who admire the good in Germany, while abhorring the bad, Professor Tillie makes a sharp distinction between the Prus sian, "a very intelligent brute," and the south and middle German. Ger many seems to have lost her moral and intellectual greatness when she became powerful politically, yet the qualities which formerly contributed so much to German prestige have not been stifled entirely by militarism, and once the dominance of Prussia over the confederacy of German states is broken, we may expect to see return to sanity.

Marketing States
 Huge Food Crops

07NHIS year, for the first time since < the crop diversification move ment was started in Alabama, the food crops are the largest ever grown, and the marketing problem will rise to great importance There was a large planting in 1916, but the tor rential rains ruined big percentage of the crops, and, that being so, little was heard of the market question Every farmer who had food to sell found ready purchasers.
 Now that the yield is of the bumper size, business-like methods must be used to market the Surplus" in order for the farmer to be properly com pensated for his toll. The United States agricultural department is giving serious attention to this mat ter, and will assist the southern farm CT m selling his farm products, es- pecially peanuts and velvet beans.
 Alabama's corn crop is record breaker-over 70,00o,O00 bushels. The best way to dispose of it profitably, as every farmer knows, is to feed it to his cattle and hogs. But if from any cause he wishes to ship some of his surplus he will have no trouble in finding a market, provided he invests a little money in sheller and pre- pares the corn for the commercial world by putting it in -bushel sacks.
 As velvet beans and peanuts are comparatively new crops on large scale in this section, more concern will be necessary in getting these crops to market. If crop diversified ton pays we'll this year, there will be no question about it in the future. It Nis this kind of farming that will make Alabama rich.

Southern Farmer Behind

Right now the owner of nice drove of hogs is as independent as banker said w. M. Burney, who travels through out the state. Just think of hogs being
 quoted at 1924 cents on root in St. Louis and Chicago yesterday; and this is not
 the limit. If the market is short of porkers now on account of war. what will it be in another year? l believe we will see 20 cents paid for hogs on foot
 by December.
 The southern farmer. as rule is behind inthis game. But more and more
 good sows are being placed on farms each
 each, and many tillers of the soil are
 behind in this game. But more and more
 so as to increase output Hog raising
 will pay well for years to come, and it's
 up to the southern farmer to get his share''
