E st X Eighty-First Division Has Fine War Record

e EVERAL letters have been re- g ceived from members of the American expeditionary forces in France, protesting against an unin- tentional injustice done to the Eighty first (4Wild Cat'') division.
 The Age-Herald stated editorially December 26, 1918, in discussing the location of American divisions in France, that the Eighty-first division, which included about 5000 Alabam- ians, "was approaching the front at the time of the armistice, and had not yet been in action" When this edi- torial was written, information sent out by the war department at Wash ington did not show that the Eighty first division had been engaged since arriving in France. As a matter of fact, although the Eighty-first divi- sion did not arrive overseas until about the middle of August, within a month it had taken over a sector of the front line in the Vosges, which it held con- tinuously for four weeks, and after a rest of two weeks, returned to the front between Verdun and St. Mihiel and prior to the signing of the armi- stice took part in some of the hardest fighting of the war, having partici- pated with great gallantry in the last major offensive launched by the allies, the Meuse-Argonne drive. The Eighty first division suffered large num- Der of casualties in dead and wounded.
 In official orders No. 232, from general headquarters of the Ameri- can expeditionary forces, warm praise was given to the units taking part in this offensive and the Eighty-first division was among the divisions com mended.
 The Age-Herald is only too glad to correct any misapprehension that may have been created regarding the Eighty-first divisions war record, al- though by this time it is of course generally known, and wishes to thank it's friends in the American army abroad for calling it's attention to the matter.

bers of Congress, commissioned of- ficers and a great many privates. All of these accusations will doubtless be given an airing, particularly those re- lating to brutal treatment of private soldiers by officers and other miscon- duet of men holding commissions.
 Army discipline is necessarily strict and no sensible person would have it relaxed in favor of disgruntled indi- but if it is true, as charged, that the caste system has been car ried to an extreme, that soldiers have been brutally treated by their su- periors and have suffered great hard ships and even loss of life because of gross negligence on the part of army the American people want to know the truth.
 The American army does not need the Prussian type of officer, who re- gards a private soldier as no better than the dirt under his feet and de- serving of no consideration. If there are men of this type holding commis- sions in our army they should be eliO, in atad

x # < Crimes Worse Than Bootlegging Traffic

ID IRMINGHAM'S police force is @O much too small, but owing to the city's limited revenue the commits sion is constrained to retrench in every way possible, and that is why police men are few and far between.
 The personnel of the police depart ment reaches high average. Patrol men and detectives are diligent and fearless, but they are not ubiquitous. A wave of crime is sweeping over Birmingham. Highwaymen and burg
 lars are multiplying and only a few nights ago a department store was |burglarized and several thousand dol lars worth of goods carried away. If a policeman could be everywhere crime would be reduced to minimum. But as he is only human large sec tions of the city are left unprotected land house breakers and "holdup" criminals are finding it comparative ly easy to Operate"
 In these times of drastic prohibi- tion officers of the law are giving
 much attention to the apprehension of violators of the "dry" statutes. Alleys and rooming houses are being closely watched and the bootlegger is finding his path hard to travel. Prohibition should be enforced, as a matter of course, but with an inadequate police force, chasing the bootlegger should mot be "policy" at the expense of good order whereby the lives of in offensive citizens are endangered and valuable property lost to it's owner. If our sleuths would have hobby
 let it be that of driving thugs and
 burglars out of town rather than
 working overtime for the suppression
 of bootlegging, important and praise
 worthy as that activity may be.

Outlook of Southern Farmer


 Prosperity glows on the horizon of the southern farmers future, if he will raise big crops," said Charles A. Whittle, in charge of the southern fertilizer commit tees editorial work
 And the cry of needy world rises, urging the southern farmer to grow big crops of cotton and food. His obliga. tion is to respond. He must fight on, for peace brings no armistice for the farm. Cotton is the hope of the ragged world. War-torn countries are looking to the fields of the south for help. It will not be in vain. The southern farmer will meet his responsibility. Prices at which cotton crop will be sold will be such as will pay the farmer well, for the fact is that the world must have the cotton. The food most needed in Europe is fat. Cotton seed, peanuts and soy beans of the south will find ready market for the oil or fats that they contain. Cattle, hogs and dairy products will con- tiriue to bring good prices because of the heavy live stock losses of Europe. The southern farmer should plan with an ex- pectation of improving his labor condi- tion, with the return of troops and the shutting down of ammunition factories"

Government Officials
 Views About Cotton

'NLARENCE OUSLEY, assistant N secretary of the United States department of agriculture, in an ex- haustive address before the cotton con- ference in New Orleans yesterday, concluded a summary by saying: "There is not too much cotton if we profit by the experience of the past, exercise little patience and farm wisely in 1919."
 The limited factors of normal con- sumption, MT. Ousley pointed out, are the time necessary to restore the "dismantled mills of France and Bel gium, to reorganize the mills of Ger many and Austria, and for the i'm poverished peoples of Europe to re- cover normal buying power" The lat ter, he thought, was the "most impor- tant in the long view, though the first two are more important in the short view" He assumed that for several years European consumers would practice the strictest economy and, therefore, would not buy as much cot ton as they bought in the last years Of tboir ,,rocporitv
 According to estimates of the best informed men in the trade there will be a carrying over of three million bales of American cotton at the end of this season. But MT. Ousley called attention to the fact that there was as much carry over in 1918, and "yet with small production cotton ad- vanced by September to an average of 35.3S cents" Exports to the pres ent time are more than half the ex- ports at this time year ago and there is every reason to expect largely  increased exports from now on.
 "If we look only at the present sup 'ply, the temporary stagnation of movement and the industrial and po- Ilitical chaos in Europe" MT. Ousley said, i've will despair of early relief, but if we look beneath the surface of the situation and if we have any faith whatever in the recuperative energies of mankind, we willrealize that the remedy for the present embarrass- |ment is in our own hands. We must know and must consider all the facts. When we know and consider only the
