Thrown Out.

Washington. April 2e.-rhe orders
to Admiral Philip Andrews, in
command of the American naval force
in the Mediterranean. to look after
interests at Spalato and else
where in Italy, were sent from Paris.
according to state and navy depart
ment officials here.
Admiral Andrews best ship is the
Olympia. protected cruiser. The
rest OF his squadron consists of seven
destroyers and about a half-dozen
submarine chasers.
Officials here do not regard the or
ders to Admiral Andrews as indicat-
ing that there is any immediate ne
cessity OF landing sailors or marines
In Italy. The orders he has are Gus
tomarily issued when there are con-
tinued reports or rumors to the effect
that American life or property Is In
danger in any part of the world.
The orders to Admiral Andrews
dealt with possibilities rather than
probabilities. The navy department
points out that there Is now in Paris
or near, Secretary of the Navy Dan
ieis and Admiral Benson. his chief
adviser for operations for the Adri-
attic. This counsel IL composed Of

Weekly Cotton Review
Rv Associated Press


 New York, August 15.-The cotton mar ket has been very nervous and unset tied during the past wek. with prices making new low ground for the moye- ment during today's early trading, when October contracts sold at 30 25c, com pared with g ,25c, the high levf2 of Wednesday, and 36 60c the high record established toward the end of last week. The talk around the ring here has sug- gested a strengthening opinion that the growing crop has passed through the first half of August with less than the aver age deterioration in condition and that
 consequently, there has probably been some little increase in the indicated yield
 There has been, so much complaint of
 insect damage, however, that a com
 paratively small part of the selling has been attributed to any change of opinion regarding the crop outlook, and the chief influence is supposed to have been in- creasing nervousness over the question of demands. The prominent factor in this connection has been apprehensions that the movement against the high cost of living would unsettle the goods mar ket, the selling seemed to be stimulated by the demand that Congress extend government control to wearing apparel
 Three private crop reports have been

Bessemer, August 16.-(SpeciaD-Bes- semer citizens feel much gratified over the favorable report Friday given by the House committee on the proposed Pet tus county bill introduced by Represen- tative George Ross.
 The bill has been placed on the House calendar for Wednesday but 1t is thought doubtful that it will come up at that time as other bills are likely to be con- sdered ahead of the Pettus bill. MT. Ross is spending the weekend in Bes- semer and is being beseiged by the citi- zens interested in the passage of the bill.
 MT Ross states that in the event that the bill is enacted and the separation from Jefferson county is effected, that the bill provides that the debts of Jeff ferson county will be equitably appox- toned to the two counties according to the taxable valuations.
 The law in effect provides for this in the event of the division of counties, but it is specified in the Ross bill An amendment to provide for joint com mission to look after the sanitary sys- tenn of the county if the division is made is attached to the bill.
 Nothing has so interested the citizens of Bessemer in years as the new county bill, and the people of the city believe that the voters of Jefferson county will support the bill if the amendment is submitted to them for ratification

 Some excellent stories have already been published about the American legion. but "The Story of the Amer iran Legion," by George Seay Wheat co. ?. Putnam's Sons. the Knicker- booker Press, publishers, New York City), is the first authentic account of the actual organization of the re- turned soldiers, sailors and marines as exemplified by their caucuses first tt Paris and later at St. Louis. MT Wheat, a wel1-known newspaper man who attended Sewanee university with "Jinx' Gillem, helped himself in large, copious doses to the steno- graphic report of the St. Louis pro- ceedings, with which he mixed some photographs of the principal actors and with long lists of the various com mittees gave birth to at least a bulky volume which contains many interest ing bits of information regarding the ideals and intentions of the men Wslo helped to make Amerongen a popular resort for the kaiser It is not book but it should prove mildly interesting to political tactcians
 However, The Story of the Amer ican Legion" is excellent propaganda for the veterans association It brings out very clearly the idealstic hores of the organization as they were voiced last spring at the St. Louis confer ence, where Birmingham men took an active part
 It is impressed upon the reader that the American legion is for the primary purpose of attaining a culture of mem ories of the heroic days of camera
