The Alabama Manufacturers and Oper- ators' association is considering plans for the enlargement of the scope of
 it's operations with the view to reach ing out to foreign lands for business after the war Is over.
 During the present week tho executive committee and several other members have held a series of meetings at which the future of the organization was dis cussed. It was the consensus of opinion of those attending the meetings that the manufacturers and operators of Alabama must look to foreign fields for the ex- pansion of their business after the con- clusion of the war.
 In this connection the fullest possible development of the Warrior river traffic and the use of Mobile as the port through which to ship the products of Alabama and to receive importations will be the object of the association.
 The association, in order to make of itself strong, virile organization in the development of Alabamas commercial and industrial interests, will start campaign for new members The cam paisn is to begin at once and every man. ufacturer and mine operator in the state will be invited to join.
 The members of the executive commit tee and members of the metal trades as- sociation will discuss plans for future work of the association at a dinner at the Tutwiler hotel tonight.

Goodrich com pany was unfolded and made ready at Capitol park yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, anticipating official announce ment of the German armistice It re- quired the labor of eighty high school cadets to prepare the netting and arrange the great American flag.
