JEWELLERS CAN'T GET GEMS

creased sales owing to the cessation
of the war have found that it is
very difficult to buy gems. They are
experiencing second hand the great
difficulty that importers are having
in buying jewels in leading European
markets, where supplies of precious
stones are growing smaller and prices
advancing constantly. Diamonds in
particular are very hard to get.
Strange to say, diamond merchants
inAtlanta say they have sold more
during the last two years than ever
befor, despite war conditions.

 oyernor Kilby had authority under the law to designate one member as vice chairman, but this duty was dele gated to the council, which will select a vice chairman at it's first meeting. All obligations of Alabama, as unit of the American nation during the post war readjustment period, were placed upon the shoulders of the postwar council of defense by legislature en- actmeu the bill being passed at the last day of the recent session. An ap- propration of S5000 was made for the payment of expenses of the council. but all members will serve without compensation.
 Several important problems win come before the council at once and it is planned to organize the new council during the next few days in order that the work may be taken up where 1t was left off by the old council, which was demobilized at the end of January
 All of the appointive members of the new council were connected with the old council. pr. Duggar and Mrs Hooper were members of the executive committee while MT. Gormley was ex ecutive secretary. pr. Welch, eX-of- ficio member, was head of the medical section of the old council The new council will work in harmony with the council of national defense of Wash ington.

 SAILS NEXT SATURDAY
 Mir. Daniels and his party will sail from New York on the transport I.evia than a week from tomorrow, and will go first to Paris to confer with the French admiralty. Later they will visit Lon don and Rome and probrhly will be away month or more Plans for The return trip have not yet been made
 While all deductions to be drawn from war experiences will be discussed in detail, the American mission will ad- dress itself particularly to the question of future types of capital ships. It has been the judgment of the navy gen eral board, charged with fixing the military characteristics of new snlTs. the United States should continue to build dreadnaughts of constantlysqtn tn- creasing power and battle cruisers. i his view is held by Rear Admiral Fletcher, chairman of the general board, and former commander of the Atlantic fleet.
 Admiral Mayo, now commander or the Atlantic fleet; Vice Admiral Sims ard Rear Admiral Rodman, the three offl- cers who have held the highest posts of the American service in the war zone, believe, however, that compo- site ship, combining the speed or battle cruiser with the gun power and armor of a battleship, should pe sub" stitued. These officers have been pf T." ticularly impressed by British expert ments toward a composite craft with the construction of the Hood. one of the so-called British hush ships.
 HAS NOT TAKEN SIDES
 Secretary Daniels has not taken sides in the dispute. nor have his three chief technical advisers. the men who will design ana construct whatever , ships may be decided upon, expressed any opinion. It is the Secretarys Iur- pose to give these officers a full op- portunity to go into all of the involved technical questions as to design during inc trip abroad in order that he may have the benefit of their advice when 1t becomes necessary for him to finally determine future ship types.
 Secretary Daniels was invited by the

Daniels IS overseas. twice visited the war zone ssecretary Baker made two Vislts to France during the war and had pian'en a third one immediately after the sie ing of the arnistice so as to give ms personal attention to the settleneht o. the many big problems growing cut ol the presence abroad ol iii'io'S American soldiers.
 The decision of President Wilson to attend the peace conference, however necessitated a delay, and Edward IL Stettinius, who was then in France as the personal representative of the sec retary of War, was entrusted with the negotiations looking to the disposition of the vast quantities of building ma terial and other equipment not of strictly military nature which had oeen concentrated for the army in France.
 When MT. Stettinius returned some weeks ago he reported satisfactoiy progress in his negotiations with .he French and other governments pu' there remain many questions which must be decided by the Secretary, who has felt that he could expedite this en- tire matter by his personal attentlon to it in Europe.
 The War Secretary hopes to De apie to complete all the work that lies be- fore him in France in three weeks time and get back to Washington by the middle of May. While he is over" seas Benedict Crowell. first assistant to MT. Baker, will act as Secretary or War.

DUE ENTIRELY TO DELAY
 Bv Associated Press

London, March 7.-Canadian military headquarters in London today issued a statement regarding the riot by the sol diers at Kinmelpark. The statement says the disturbance was entirely due to the delay in getting the men back to Canada. It was impossible to keep the promises given the men, the state mept adds, owing to the shortage Of vessels to convey them home
 The authorities, however, the state ment adds, do not regard the rioting as justified and the offenders, many of whom already are under arrest, will be vigorously dealt with.
 A number of civilians took part in the disturbance and 12 of these also have been arrested and handed over to the civil authorities.
 In the course of the trouble three rioters and two sentries were killed and 21 persons were injured, including two officers, according to the statement.

There was held in Birmingham yester~ day evening one of the important meet ings in connection with the Methodist missionary centenary campaign, 1t be- ing a conference of the members of the centenary commission of the North Ala bama conference, the centenary campaign leaders of the Birmingham and Besse.' mer districts, and the presiding elders of the North Alabama conference. This was one of series of meetings in con nection with the Methodist missionary centenary being celebrated by the leading Methodist bodies of the United States and Canada
 FINANCIAL GOAL
 The financial goal to be reached by the Southern Methodist church alone is $3o,- 000,000 for missionary work at home and in the foreign fields. This amount is to be paid during five years, but the total is to be pledged during the eight-day drive to be put on next month. The sum asked for represents an increase Of szo'- 0O0,000 over the amount now being given by Southern Methodists for missions, hence it is by far the biggest enterprise ever undertaken by Methodism. The cam paign has been so planned that every or ganization of the church, the sunday school, the Epworth league, the women societies, has definite task, and every | TDefnDeF or the CnuTCH VIII bt siNOH -N-. opportunity during the drive to make some contribution.
 The money will be expended in caring for the needier fields at home, in recon struction work in Europe, and in the en- largement of the work in all the forelgN mission fields. Since the plan was adopted it has been submitted to every annual conference of the church and to various other gatherings of church peo- IL ;,,IA trrith dissenting vote. That is one remarkable feature of the campaign.
 BISHOP ATKINS
 Tn the North Alabama conference the amount to be raised is s1, s1,500,O0O this total to be pledged during the drive in April with every Methodist congregation in the conference to be reached. The meet ing in Birmingham yesterday evening was to bring together the ministers ana laymen who have the leadership in this movement in the conference, to discuss campaign plans and to greet Bishop James Atkins, the guest of honor of the evening.
 Bishop Atkins, who is the presiding bishop of the North Alabama conference and chairman of the general centenary commission of the church, returned rom Europe only a few days ago. More thaii three months ago he went to France to study that field and other countries de- vastated by war with the view Of max ing recommendations to the church al home concerning the work Methodlsin can do in France Belguim and other countries overseas The church IS to spend more than s5,00O.eOO of it's centen- ary fund in those lands, and Bishop At lins is chairman of q commission ap- pointed to plan for this reconstruction work.

 In replying to this contention, MT Hughes said there existed under con stitutional law no such thing as dele gation by Congress of unrestricted pow CT with opportunity for official scrutiny and rectihcation.
