HUDDLESTON AGAINST
 BIG NAVY PLANS

Washington, February 7.-(Special)
 The $7O0,000,000 naval appropriation bill. reported unanimously by the House com-
 mittee on naval affairs, and the defeat of which, President Wilson cabled would
 be fatal to my negotiations, represents a policy of the most stupendous folly ever presented to Congress, and means
 in the end a war with Great Britain. Representative Huddleston, who speaks
 for Birmingham and Jefferson county, so stated in speech before the House
 His idea of this administration measure is conveyed in the following excerpts
 from his address:
 MT. Chairman: The naval appropria- tion bill which we now have under con- slderation commits the United States to new polcy-a policy of expansion until we shall have in 1925 the greatest fleet iii all the world; as Great Britain in- creases her navy we are to add to ours;
 we are to aim at having a navy second
 to none. Of course, in 15 minutes I cannot anything like cover my objections to the policy expressed In the bill. To cover the subject fully would require that present all the objections which might be made to militarism and to imperialism to world exploitation, and to the sup pression of democracy in general This bill means in the ultimate conscription of men for service in the navy just as we hdu lieil COHSCrlpleQ TOT service the army for sufficient forces to man the | immense fleets proposed can never be had under the volunteer system. It means conscription in time of peace instead as we have had it in time war. We must contemplate that as the final result l am not going to agree to this policy. l want to be respectful to the commit tee and I want to be respectful to every
 member of the House that may favor 1 this bill and that may support it. I want to be respectful if I can; but am afraid that my views upon this bill may be construed as somewhat lacking in re-
 spent. l do not so intend it. But they are my views. l submit them in all hu- mility and In ali modesy. I submit them respectfully and only as a matter of stern
 duty, but hold to it with all the strength of my reason and my soul that this bill represents a policy of the most stupen- dous folly that was ever advocated upon this floor. l would say that it represents 8 wicked policy if l only might say that and still be repectful, as l would like to be-
 MT. Huddleston declared England would
 not permit the United States to control
 the seas. In this strain and predicting / war, he continued
 What Great Britain would not tolerate from other nations she will not tolerate from us Let not this nation puff itself up with foolish egotism. Let not this na-
 ton talk the foolish batter of blood is
 thicker than water It is not matter of blood that counts. We ourselves have al
 ready had two wars with Great Britain
 l tell, gentlemen, those of you who are
 favoring this programme, you are bid
 ding for third war with Great Britain,
 the bloodiest and most disastrous of
 them all"

By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, February 7.-(Special) Today marked the beginning of an agitation which in the end might result in the government operating a barge line on the Alabama river between Selma and Montgomery, and therefrom to the sea. While it is certain that the entire Warrior project must be com- pleted before another project can be the object of concerted fight by the Alabama congressional delegation the preliminaries have been undertaken.
 For Selma W. c. Agee, wholesale merchant, Is in Washington. Montgom- cry is represented by Mayor Robinson and L. Benish. These gentlemen have conferred with the senators and cer- tain members of Congress and have found them willing to cooperate though aware of the hindrances in the way.
 This afternoon they conferred with c. A. Tomlinson of the river transpor- tation division of the railroad admin istration. Dr. Tomlinson gave them a careful hearing, but did not commit himself. He stated an investigation by experts would be essential.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN
 CARD HOUSE FALLS

washington, FeDruary f.-(Speclal.) Another republican card house falls and Gen. Enoch Crowder loses the greatest popularity he has ever enjoyed.
 The republicans learned that the gen eral had been subjected to severe verbal reprimand by General March, chief of staff, and that this reprimand had been made a blot on the 25-year unblimished record of the provost marchal.
 Everyone was most sympathetic-es- pecially the politicians. And then Secre- tary Baker turned idol smasher. He in- formed the Senate that General March, in letter had expressed difference with General Crowder regarding certain fea- lures of the second draft prospectus; that certain sentences were regarded by Gen eral Crowder as constituting repri- mand; that when General Crowder SC stated to him, he had had the verbiage changed in such manner that Genera Crowder was satisfied.
 And so the card house falls. and Gen.

SAYS FOREIGNERS ARE
 MANIPULATING COTTON

l Washington. February 7.-(Special) 1 Speaking in support of a resolution pro- | viding investigation of cotton exchanges,
 Representative Helfin of Alabama, inti- mated in the House that foreign govern ments had entered upon scheme to de- press the market, buy. then inflate the | market for their financial gain. The gov ernments referred to were not designated | by name s
 | In course of his speech, he said: l Tt is whispered around that certain | foreign powers are trying to beat down the price so that they can buy this cot ton at low price and then bull the ex- change market and run in up to 40 cents pound, at which time they intend to supply the demands in Europe after they 1 have robbed. through an American ex- change the cotton producers of the ] United States. Will we members of the ! American Congress permit this to be done?
 Let us join hands and go together and
 investigate all exchanges that speculate
 n farm products. You will find condi- tons. gentlemen, that will shock the sen abilities of an honest, justice-loving peo- pie. l for one do not believe that 1t is necessary to have an exchange selling in unlimited quantities mere names of wheat and corn and cotton in order for the farmer to have a market for his product
 t Can you tell me why it was that cot ton sold for 37 cents a pound when the sea was full of submarines and it was a hard matter and an uncertain under taking to get cotton to a foreign port at all, and then when the war had ended and submarines had gone from the sea and foreign countries were calling for American cotton, and the President de- clared that all cotton needed could now go freely to allied and neutral countries. l and the demand had been increased about 4000, 600 bales over the time whenccotton sold for 37 cents-can you tell me- say, why it is that cotton exchange can be manipulated so as to insult and outrage and interfere with and defeat the law of
 supply and demand in such a fashion," If you miss having luncheon at the , Tutwiler or the Sunday evening dinner. you are certainly missing a treat.

CORRECTS MEASUREMENT.

That little squib in Tuesdays Her.
aid to the effect that the convention
which was held in this city last week
was a failure, and that there was
much indifference shown by citizens
and soldiers, is anything but a true
statement of the facts. About One
hundred and twenty-five soldiers
were present, most of them the en-
tire time and all of them at the Ban
quet which they voted one of the
most delightful and helpful affairs
which they had ever attended, many
who could not atte.n' sent written re-
grets. The program so far as we
could find out was flawless and those
who took part in it were neither ig-
norant nor Indifferent. And the
trifling attempt to reflect on the
convention and stick a lance in the
Y. NJ. C. A. hurts nc one and sur
prises no one. But worst of all it IS
a knock on our good women who
served so beautifully and worked SO
hard to make the occasion complete.
The convention was neither untimely
nor was 1t Y. NJ. c. A. "prOpagan-
da.' The soldiers who were present
voted unanimously to have the next
meet July 4th when more of the boys
will be at home and from time to
line as they shall return. Quit your

probation of the service rendered by

CLERK WILL RECORD
SOLDIERS PAPERS

Provision has been made to have
the discharge papers of the soldier
boys recorded in the county court
clerks office. This is a wise provi-
sion. since in the ordinary course
of events many of the boys will get
their discharge papers misplaced or
destroyed. The clerk has been pro-
vided with a record book in which
the soldier may have his discharge
recorded as deeds are recorded. and
then in the event of the loss of his
papers he will have permanent re-
cord to refer to. Soldiers of the
Civil War suffered much inconven-
fence from not having a record. and
we suggest to the discharged soldier
that he have his papers copied in the
county clerks office at once.
