GREENVILLE

Greenville, November 1s.-(Special.j Tag day by the women's department of the united war work campaign netted a large sum in Greenville and the com mittee was gratified with the results. The pupils of the Greenville high school donated over $500 for the boys. and schools throughout the county were also liberal with their contributions. The totals for the county have not yet been footed up by the commitsee, and the re- suit of the drive cannot be learned until 30 districts yet unreported make their report to the central committee.
 The influenza situation in Butler coun- ty and Greenville is considered some what worse now than it has been in sev- eral days. It seems to have taken a new hold in places. for a number of new cases are being reported daily. It was reported that four pupils of the Green ' vile schools were sent home from their studies with the disease recently. Thir- teen deaths occurred in the county dur Ing the last four days from influenza and It's complications.
 Interest Is growing in Butler county's hog show that is to be held in Green- vile December 4 and 5. Farmers in all sections of the county are preparing to send their best hogs to the show. No prizes will be awarded, only ribbons be- ing given to show the class of the ex- hibits.
 The Howard College Endowment cam paign was launched yesterday in Green vilie yesterday by Dr. H. Smith, field educational secretary of the Alabama Baptist convention who delivered & stirring appeal for Baptist denomina- tional education for Alabama. It Is the purpose of the Baptists of the state to raise $200, ,0oo,/ ,/to which will be added an- other $1o0,0o0 by the Rockerfeller founda- tion as an endowment for Howard col- lege at Birmingham.

HURLEY PLANS ID
 STANDARDRE PAY
 FOR ALL SEANEN
Will Propose That American Laws and Agreements Be Accepted as Standard
 by All Governments

Washington, November 1s.-Chairman Hurley of the shipping board, who sailed for Europe last Saturday to prepare for the returning of American troops to this country and for moving needed food supplies to the war famished nations overseas, also plans to seek an inter national agreement between govern ments, shipping interests and labor or ganizations of the principal maritime powers for standardization of seamen wages and working conditions.
 It was said today that MT. Hurley expects to propose that the American laws and the agreements between the government and the seamen's unions on these subjects be accepted as the stand ards and 1t is understood that the Amer ican Federation of Labor and the Brit ish Seamen's union are prepared to sup port the proposal
 Such an agreement as that contem- plated by MT. Hurley, it was said would eliminate the chief difficulty that has confronted American shipping interests in past and. their efforts to operate ships in competition with other nations. The standards for American seaTnen are said to be the highest in the world and now that this country Is putting great fleet of ships on the seas officials be- lieve that unless some international agreement is reached 8 great proportion of trained seamen will be attracted to the American merchant marine.
 It was learned today that the shipping board, as far as consistent with the ne- cessities of government needs, is divert ing ships to normal trade routes and that within a few months officials hope to have American ships carrying needed commodities of peace to South and Gen.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November 1S.--Today's mar ket was somewhat steadier, but the ten- dency toward lower prices remains and at the close was again below that of last night. Liverpool bought a little cot ton during the day. but the south Is steady seller and under present condi- tions finds some difficulty in immediate ly locating buyers. The uneasiness in the goods markets continues and has an effect restricting the demand from the domestic trade. They feel that cancel lations in some form cannot we'll be avoided and that it is no longer neces- sary to supply immediate war necessi- ties. They do not see yet at just what price goods will be sold to exporters and to the domestic trade. We think thai 1t will be found that a fair amount of goods can be placed not so far from the market, but in the meantime the uncertainty Is an obvious factor. As for the immediate future of the market un- der these conditions we have no opinion. The cotton trade itself appears to be badly at sea- As we have stated before gradual liquidation of the spot situa. ton south seems the true solution, but our views in this matter are not dog Bros.

GADSDEN

Gadsden, November 1s--(Special.) )-The church of Alabama opened at o'clock last night at the Christian church at Sixth and Walnut streets. Rev. Robert N. Simpson is presiding. The first ses- sion was opened by Rev. Charles B. Holder, pastor of the church here, and addresses were given by M. +. Harmon, Mobile, P. H. Mears. Athens, and c. J. Henry, Anniston. The Tuesday morning session was devoted to Sunday school work. The delegates were entertained at lunch Tuesday by the ladies of the First Methodist church at the annex.
 The employees of the Gulf States Steel company have gone over the top in the united war work, adding to q long string of records along patriotic lines. The men subscribed $S147, exclusive of the company's subscription. The model mill town of Alabama City also has set a record. With a quota of s150o, the city has subscribed s87oo. or almost 25o per cent. Employes of the Dwight mill pledged $500 of this amount.
 Warnings were issued to automobile drivers yesterday that license tags must be displayed by today, or arrests will follow.
 Announcement Is made that the Na- tional Pipe & Foundry company will re- build it's big plant at Attalla, which was destroyed by fire last summer. It is ex- pected the work will be completed with in three months.

M'ADOO REVEALS TRUE GREATNESS
 AS A FINANCIER
Rr HnLLANn

|
 New York, November 19.-(Special) Since the communication which was made by the Secretary of the Treasury, 1 MT. McAdoo, to Senator Simmons chair man of the Senate finance committee, was made public it has been, on the whole, the absorbing topic not only in 1 financial but in business circles. The 1 letter had been spoken of frequently as the high water mark of the fnascial statesmanship which Secretary McAdoo has revealed himself to be master of since the European war began. For this l reason the Secretary is spoken of as standing out conspicuous among the members of the administration at Wash tngton and especially conspicuous in comparison with some of those who, in Congress, have prepared revenue ana other financial legislation.
 Perhaps the most earnestly and fre- quently discussed paragraph i'll the Sec retary's letter, excepting of course, his recommendation that war profits ana excess profit taxes be eliminated as soon as possible, was his emphatic statement that the United States must continue
 
 tions even after peace comes. It does not seem to be realized that the loans which our government has made to for- eign nations really represent investment by the United States in the securities, notes, or other formal acknowledgment of the debt, which the treasury depart ment holds and will hold until long after the war is ended or until this indebted ness is liquidated.
 Az II, z | f.afxr a n . and Russia, Japan entered the American market for the purpose of obtaining loans and was successful in that ap- proach. The aggregate of these loans was for that time, large. The transaction, however, did not involve the government for the loans were negotiated by Ameri- can banks. Very little of the money went to Japan. Almost every penny or the loans was drawn upon by Japan i'll order to pay for purchases of supplies and raw material which were made in the United States. The bankers lent the money. Japan used it to pay American manufacturers and farmers, and the oo- legations were regarded as an excellent investment and were speedily absorbed.
 THE GREAT OBLIGATIONS
 Of course. the American banks, pow erful as they are, or private capital in
