TIoN IN ADDRESSES.

Birmingham, Ala. July 1S-Federal
farm help specialists from all the cot
ton producing states. with representa-
tives of the department of agriculture
and state agricultural colleges began
a two days conference here today to
consider ways of assuring sufficient
farm help for harvesting the souths
great cotton and food crops.
THE south, while answering many
other demands OF war. has made in
1918 a great stride toward feeding it,
self from products OF its own Soil.
Through the unprecedented efforts of
southern farmers their acreages M food
crops, as well. as cotton, show great
enlargement, and with favorable
weather the result will be relief of
transportation demand. and notable
contributions TO Americas task of
feeding a large part of the allied
world"
This statement was made this
morning by Prof. G. l. Christie. assist
ant TO the secretary of agriculture,
after hearing reports from federal
farm help specialists from nearly all
the southern states.
No more heroic efforts to meet war
needs have been made anywhere than
by southern farmers, said George A
Maloney, supervising farm help spe-
ciaiist for the southern states. who
also called attention TO the greatly
increased population Of the south in
cantonment and manufacturing CEN

ducing cotton and other crops needed

CROWN PRINCE cAMoUFLAGING
GERMAN RANK AND FILE

Paris, July 1S.-The German crown
prince, military observers here say,
now is trying to convert a large scale
failure into a snowy minor success
which will make up in the eyes of the
German public for the 100, goo men he
has sacrificed.
His goal now apparently is Eper-
nay. The operation includes two
parts In the first the Germans who
crossed the Marne in the Dormans re-
gion are struggling to widen and
strenthen the bridge head on the south
bank. In the second the German right
center, which at the beginning of the
action was along the Dormans-Rheims
road facing southeast, is now pivoted
on Vrigny and runs north and south
along a line through Vrigny, Bouilly,
Harfaux, and Courton and Roy woods
AS the country in this direction is
thickly wooded and consequently easily
defended. some military commentators
believe the Germans will soon find the
game is not worth the candle.
Pursuing his now familiar oppor-
tunist policy. the enemy would content
himself with establishing a defensive
front toward the east and turning his
efforts southwark in the direction of
Montmirail, near Epernay, which
strategically is second in importance
only to Chalons. This is the hypoth-
esis OF the military writer, Colonel de
Thomasson.
