return with sense of pride and con-
lfidence in the achievements of the
United States and allied troops
abroad, that would justify many
trips across the water"
It has been stated that the principal
mission of Secretary Baker to Eng
land and France was to bring about
the consolidation of all the allied
troops under one head. This has been
done, with General Foch as the leader
of the allied armies. President Will
son was strongly in favor Of central
izing the control of military opera
tons. Both his spokesman, Colonel
House and Secretary Baker, worked
with that object in view while they
were in Europe.
But the real inspiration gained by
Secretary Baker was drawn from Wis
tits to the battle front, where he min
|gled with American soldiers and saw
how Americas young manhood is con-
Quoting itself in the trenches and be-
hind the lines. Previous interviews
given out by him showed that he was
greatly impressed by the spirit of our
fighting men, the excellent care be-
ing taken of them and their eager
ness to get at the Boche.
Secretary Baker has learned much
during the few weeks he was absent
from his desk in Washington. 1t is
not too much to say that he is better
fitted for his arduous duties. After
all, first-hand information is the best,
it makes the deepest impression, and
Secretary Baker went to headquarters
to study war-the trenches of France.

Crop Diversification
and Cotton Acreage

6NHAT Alabama's cotton acreage
. this spring will be larger than
that of 1916 or 1917 is an assured
fact, but whether the increase will be
quite enough to produce a million
bale crop under favorable weather
conditions is yet problematical. There
is an imperative demand for a total
crop in the south Of fourteen or fiji
teen million bales, and of that yield
IA million bales would not be too much
for Alabama. Time was when this
state grew as much as one-tenth Of
the entire crop, but with the advent
of the boil weevil and since diversifi-
cation has come to be regarded as the
wiser economic policy, less acreage is
planted in the fleecy staple and more
attention is given to corn, wheat and
other cereals and to food and feed
stuff in general.
Last years food production in the
south was greater than ever before.
For the first time the south fed itself.

Declares Presidents War
Aims Uphold Ideas Given
By Pope in Peace Appeal

ROME. January 1.-The osservatore
Romano, again commenting on the
statements of President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George. recalls the inn
partiality of the holy see throughout
the war.
Certainly" says the newspaper,
which is the Vatican organ, 1.-The holy
see saw with legitimate satisfaction
that President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George put ASA basis of possible
peace negotiation and the future set
tlement of Europe those very points
contained in the appeal of the holy
father last August to the heads of the
belligerent peoples.
Those points were intended, not as
articles for a concrete treaty of peace,
but as fundamental points for starting
negotiations"
The Osservatore Romano continues
with a warning that the pleasure felt
by the holy see in seeing harmony ex-
listing between the pontifical proposals
and the Anglo-American statements
does not mean that the Vatican will
exercise any pressure on either group
| of belligerents with the view to sup
| porting their concrete propositions, as
this would mean a violation of the
principle of impartiality.

TO RECLAIM THE INJURED
Government and Industrial Heads
Confer on Plan for Soldiers
Manned in War.

Representatives of the Army, Navy
war risk board, federal vocational train
ing board, the Red Cross and the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States conferred today in effort to CO.
ordinate the various plans proposed tor
rehabilitation of American soldiers and
sailors manned in the war. Determine
ton of a definite government policy for
the work was the object of the confer
ence called by Surgeon General Gorgas
at the direction of Secretary Baker.
A complete plan, based on the Eng
lish system, has been submitted to sec
retary Baker by the Army Medical
Corps, but has not been acted upon.
Considerable confusion is said to ex-
ist among organizations willing to as
sist as to the part they shall play in
the general scheme of rehabilitation.
The theory of the Medical Corps plan
is that the crippled soldier who comes
back from France must not be con-
sidered an object of charity. He still
is a soldier and must be kept on mill
tary pay until he is ready to earn his
own living. This necessitates the estab-
lishment Of vocational training hos
pitafs and provision for them is made in
estimates already submitted to Con-
PreSS.

present government has ended the pos

German Prince Admits
Message of President
Points Way to Peace

BERN, Switzerland. January 14-Com-
menting on President Wilson's address,
Prince Alexander Won Hohenlohe, who was
among the German representatives at the
pacifist conference held at Bern last No
vember, writes in the Neue Zuricher Zei-
tung as follows:
Every unprejudiced leader must admit
that President Wilson's new message can
become a way toward peace. But for
that it will be necessary that the German
people disengage itself from the fixed idea
that America entered the war only ior
selfish and material interests.
The truth is that President Wilson, in
declaring war on Germany. followed the
pressure of the overwhelming majority CT
the American people and that every Amer
lean soldier sailing for Europe goes in the
firm conviction that he is to fight for the
threatened freedom and Justice of the
world 80

PROGRESS

PETROGRAD, January 19.-Presfdent
Wilson's address has been widely print
ed and commented on by PetroRrad
newspapers. The bolshevik newspapers
are divided in their opinion. Izyestia,
official organ of the central executive
committee of the workmen's and SOL
diers' deputies. says: n
The contentious for peace advanced
by President Wilson are q great vic-
tory on the way of obtaining a demo-
cratic peace. We shall hope that in the
American nation we will find a real ally
in the struggle for general democratic
peace
Pravda. official organ of the bolshe-
vik party, deprecates President Will
sons address and denounces the Pres
ident as representative of American
capital. Pravda says the speech masks
old formulas of war.
Belo Naroda, the leading social revo-
lutionist paper, says that Mr.. Wilson's
address shows that he has made great
progress since his reply to the Pope's
peace proposals. 1t adds: I'm their
present form the American conditions
may be regarded as the basis Of peace
negotiations, and If the bolsheviki had
not by their policy strengthened the
military annexationist groups in Ger
many these conditions would already
have been adopted as the basis of Such
negotiations"
Moral Victory for Peace.
TN President Wilson's speech we
must note the moral victory for the
peace policy of the council of national
commissioners" says the Izvestia.
This is the first formal reply OF the al
lies to the proposal of the workmen's
and soldiers delegates that they par
ticipate in peace negotiations. In va
rious parts of the address, where Presi-
dent Wilson talks of the action of the
workmen's and soldiers government
and the Russian peace delegation, his
recognition of their services in the
struggle for peace is clearly seen.
Every one who reads President Will
sons speech may see the friendly tone
in which the American President
speaks in the face Of the whole world
of the actions of the Russian workmen's
and peasants government, regarding
the obtaining Of peace. What now can
the miserable compromisers say who
continue to prevent conclusion of
peace?
