 LETTERS TO EDITOR
Bond Sales in Bibb County

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 We regretted very much to see in your issue of the 23d inst that your Blocton correspondent in his over anxiety to boost his community, and incidentally to pat himself on the back, had reflected on Centerville, and in order to do this he was compelled to depart from the very plain path made by the facts
 In the first place the quota for Blocton. nor any other beat in the county. was changed one penny at any time during the campaign with the Knowledge or consent of the county chairman
 In the second place Centervilie never for moment Tagged behind" or was in the slightest danger of falling to go over it's quota in this or any other cam paign of war activities.
 The facts are mat Blocton had a quota of s27,0oO and Centerville slSOOD each based on exactly the same ratio as to taxable values as shown by the county tax records And Centervlle with a quota of s1s,0o0 subscribed for s27. TOO. a little over 150 per cent of her quota. was cally with the influenza epidemic on and all gatherings banned and drop of s25 per bale in the price of cotton There was not a subscription included in Cen terville's report of one of the corpo- rations, but on the other hand the writer personally obtained a subscription of si65eO from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and cheerfully turned this over to Blocton as the company's s business was there.
 As county chairman I appreciate very much the patriotic cooperation of Bloc ton, it's people have responded nobIy, as have those of Centerville and s--~v. other part of the county. and if any peat In th 2 county deserved especial mention it would have been Eoline, Piper and uoi9anoI.

WILL PEACE DEPRESS COTTON
By ". ". MORRISON

During recent weeks the opinion has be- come widely current that peace will bring lower prices for cotton. It Is mainly based upon the assumption that, in such an event, the government would cancel all orders placed with the spinners The fallaey of this claim is obvious. It Is unthinkable that the government will go back on it's contracts after the goods were made up, or cancel contracts for goods not made up, unless the raw ma terial required to fill the latter could be profitably and promptly absorbed in goods required for the civilian trade.
 There is not, however, the least evil dence to sustain the view that cancel lation would be necessary. On the con- trary the most in fact, the only, relia- ble evidence indicates that 1t will take something like two years to demobilize the army. In any event, should peace come this year, demobilization could not be accomplished until long after the mar keting of this crop, and probably the next, has passed into history. Then the fundamental fact remains that the sol dier as a civilian will require just as much clothing as he did as a soldier.
 What is the outlook for demand should peace come in the next six months? Now, an individual may economize in his wearing apparel for an extended period, but there finally comes a time when re- plenishng his clothing becomes Just as imperative as replenishing his food. The meager supplies of the raw material held abroad, a condition which has been con- tinuous since the war began. and the continuously dwindling exports of Ameri- can cotton, show in a very conclusive way that the people of probably half the world are nearing now just such a des- perate extremity.
 Had the cotton been available and the normal processes of increase had not been interrupted by the abnormal conditions which have prevailed, the record defi- nitely indicates that consumption during | this year would have been something more than 100000. In other words. these abnormal conditions have reduced consumption for the year about 5,0o0, ,OOd bales below the normal requirements of peace. Figured on a logical ratio, this indicates a shrinkage of the kind of around 100000 bales since the war be- gan These figures show In a most con- elusive way also how drastic has been the economy in cotton goods
 Peace is certain to find, therefore, the need for cheap clothing throughout the world. most distressing. It can be safe ly assumed that the allied and neutral governments will make tremendous ef- fort to relieve this distress immediately after peace is declared. The ships of our own country can be expected to De largely absorbed by the necessities Of demobilization, and of England also, but to a less degree. The vessels of our

Beware of German Toys

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 news item of the 23d inst. contains the information that several thousand cases of German-made toys purchased prior to the war by American importers had arrived aboard a Dutch steamer at New York. Doubtless the old familiar Made in Germany" legend will be care fully erased from these toys and they will find their way into loyal American n homes about Christmas time
 But I cannot help wondering how, for

THE GERMAN MIND

Inasmuch as these terms to be imposed first, by diplomats, and, secondly. by mil itary chieftains, can be regarded simply as preliminaries, the people of Germany would very soon realize just what they are up against" When armistice is arranged, if it be arranged, the diplomats will gather about the peace table. Pre- liminary terms will be included in general and permanent terms, but the latter will include reparation for all devastation. a staggering money indemnity. the sur render of army and navy and territorial possessions. and possibly an agreement whereby Germany will tie itself in re. spect to post-war commercial activities
 At first blush one supposes that Ger many will not agree to such terms until its armies are destroyed. On the other hand, the President has painted a rain bow In the sky. He has held out hope.
 THE TEUTON PEOPLE
 He has told Germany that if he must deal with autocracy, which is another name for the kaiser, he must demand surrender. but if he be permitted to deal with Germany-well. many things might be taken into consideration. Therein is found the diplomatic cross-cut of the President.
 He has appealed to the people and at the same time has offered them com parative mercy and relative safety But the idea still prevails that the Kaiser is supreme and that there will be no armis. tice-no peace until the German military organization is destroyed on the battle field.

he refrained from so doing, he would be damned.
 Washington takes the position now that first of all the diplomats of England, France and Italy must have their in- ming. If they agree with the President that an armistice should be arranged under terms outlined by the President. why then the military commanders will be called upon Therefore. speculation is rife as to what England will say, and then France and Italy The United States wants nothing save guarantee for the safety of the world. But the governments with which this government is allied do want something And, 1t is safe to state, that after the diplomats have named their terms General Foch will have terms of his own.

TWO CONDITIONS STATED

While some days will probably elapse before England, France and Italy will digest the correspondence the President has had with Germany relative to an armistice, and make reply thereto. it is interesting Washington to note that al- ready, unofficially, perhaps, two of the three European bellgerents have in part spoken.
 England has declared it necessary for the maintenance of the British empire in state of safety and equanimity that Germany be permanently deprived of its colonies. England has declared that nec- essary, and has secuted the idea that that necessity is based on imperialistic de- sire of the empire.
 France has declared it absolutely es- sential that Alsace and Lorraine be re- stored-provinces torn from France in

1871, and which, despite the military es- arrangement, have remained true to France and the French idea. It is de- duced by official Washington, therefore. tice until it is understood beyond all peradventure that in agreeing to an ar mistice Germany agrees to the restora- ton of Alsace-Lorraine.
 THE TERMS OF FOCH
 Of course England, France and Italy will have still other demands. But in the event that Germany, desiring the establishment of an avenue leading to peace, should agree to territorial demands of it's European belligerents. and the case was then referred to Marshal Foch for final adjudication, what would be the terms of Foch?
 Military authorities in Washington de. clare that Marshal Foch has successfully figured in a bigger war than Napoleon or Hannibal, or Caesar, or Wellington, or Washington, or Grant. Foch's name, as the commanding general of the vic torious forces in this, the biggest war, must throughout all future years be as much renowned as the names of those commanders with which every school child Is familiar It Is estimated by army officers in Washington that Foch, with the game in his own hands, will not forego opportunity to make his triumph indisputable. If the issue was in doubt. he might act otherwise, it is pointed out But why, with victory in his hands, should he forego an opportunity which iR an hundred years, will be presented to no other man? What will his terms be? That Germany evacuated all occu- pied territory, and in so doing, abandon it's guns, ammunitions and supplies Ger many will insist on agreement that it be 1 ad +o ratira nnfOlloUAd Koch will not agree This Is the general opinion in Washington
