KING AND QUEEN
 OF BELGIANS SAY
 ADIEU TO WILSON'S
(continued From Page One,

(Continued From Page One) Mrs. Wilson occupied places to the speak CTS left.
 The Belgian minister of foreign affairs, Paul Hymans, expressed gratitude at the part America played in the war. He re- ferred specifically to the work done by Herbert Hoover, who was present and was forced to arise and acknowledge the ap- plause of the Chamber.
 More than once the President, and even Mrs. Wilson, were obliged to bow acknowledgements when references were made to them.
 The audience appeared more curious than anything else when the President began to speak, and the first applause was perhaps somewhat perfunctory But as he proceeded and as he made plain that the Belgians were not regarded as objects of charity, appreciation reached a climax, the whole Chamber rose and gave the President an ovation. The guests were conducted later through the historic rooms including the Senate chamber. where the English nurse, Edith Cavell. was tried and sentenced by the Germans.
 Before leaving, the President signed 'The Gold Book" and at S:S0 the presi-

This statement reveals the mistaken attitude of coal producers of Birmingham, who, if they did not oppose plans for development of Muscle Shoals, withheld their active support. The state ment also bears out the prediction Of Senators Bankhead and Underwood and other members of the Alabama congress sional delegation who actively supported the proposed project.

English Rule of India

From ''The British Raj in India,'' by H.
 M. Hyndman, in Asia" Magazine
 India with it's BOG, 900, GOO inhabitants has for 60 years been under the management of the most extraordinary and fortuitous system of foreign domination known to the memory of man. The rulers of these people come in succession from with out educated, until their appointment at the age of more than 21, in accordance with methods as remote from, and as irreconcilable with, Asiatic ideas, as it is possible for them to be. Alike in their work and in their pleasures they keep as far aloof as possible from the people they govern. Very rarely do they marry Indians; still more rarely do they set tie permanently in the country. The head of the government. who himself is brought out fresh from Europe and en- tirely ignorant of India, does not remain in office for more than five years. His subordinateS return home frequently for their holidays and go back to Eng land permanently, to live on consid- erabIe pension, after their term of ser vice is completed. The longer this reign of well-meaning but unsympathetic car pet -baggers continues, the less intimate do their general relations with the Indian people become. The color and race preJu- dices, which existed not at all, or to a very small extent, at the beginning or English dominance, now become stronger and stronger every yearA In India itself men of ancient lineage, beside which the descent of the oldest European aris- tocracy is a mushroom growth, are con sidered in the presidency towns, as well as on the railways, unfit to associate on equal terms with the young White bureaucrats just arrived in the country. And these ''competition-wallahs, owing their positions too often to desk work, rrl, in, lack nowadays that indescribable quality of the sahib, or gentleman, which is mo- where so instinctively recognized as in Asia.
 And what is this alien supremacy based on? Upon 1500 foreign administrators fso- lated among the hundreds of missions Of Irdians-rari nantes in gurgito vasto- not one of whom can exercise any lasting influence on the people committed to his charge These are the district officers, the rea1 rulers of India, upon whom the true responsibilities of government fall- Each is in his way governor, and these are some of his duties. He is collector of the land revenue, registrar Of the landed Hroperty of the district. judge between landlord and tenant, ministerial officer of the courts of justice, treasurer and ac- countant of the district, administrator of the districy excise. eN-offico president Of the local rates committee, referee for all questions of onpensation for lands taken up for public purposes, agent for the government in all local suits to which It is party. referee in local public works, head of the police. ex-officio president of municipalities and magistrate. police magistrate and criminal judge. It is ut terly impossible that ak these muiti- farious duties, with the endless reports that have to be written and the ques- tions with superiors which have to be dis crssed, can be performed satisfactorily.

Test Mobilization Call Is Quickly Answered By
 The NeU York State Guard
By Associated Press

New York, June 19.-Ten regiments of the New Yorok state guard demonstrated tonight what they could do by ay-of protecting the city in an emergency, when they answered a test mobilization call that quckly threw cordons of armed guards about public buildings, power houses, car barns, public utilities and the homes of prominent citizens.
 Automobile trucks, filled with armed men, dashed from armories to bridges, power houses and other spots theoreti- cally held to be in danger, and the guardsmen carried out the practice drill sO grimly that in many quarters it was believed that they were to remain on guard duty to protect the city from red outbreaks.

FLORENCE SANITATION STATION
 TO BE DISCONTINUED

Washington, June 9-tSpecial.) )-Reck- less slashing of appropriation measures by republicans preparing campaign is sues has handicapped the public health service to such extent that many or ganizations in the states half supported by the government will be necessarily discontinued. The rural sanitation sta tion at Florence will go up. just as many others will unless contrary action is. in terposed by the Senate. The Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia communities are greatly distressed because of the danger of epidemics resulting from the crowded conditions incident to the deveI- opment of Muscle Shoals. The work of the government in the Muscle Shoals dis trict last year not only ripped an em- bryonic pestilence, but restored the com munity to health basis, phenomenal ia consideration of conditions.

Are You
 Worth S1OO,OO0, 0,OOO

The man who is worth fifty or a hundred million dollars CAN afford to do without fire insurance. He is financially strong enough to carry his own insurance.
 Usually he is too good a business man to pursue, any such risky policy-but be- cause of his great financial strength, he MIGHT do so without risk of being TO- TALLY ruined.
 Unless he is worth some such fabulous amount, no good business man nowa- days ever thinks of going W i t h o ut full protection against fire loss.
 Sometimes he DOES goA without it b e cause hel doesn't think.
 Sometimes, because he doesn't think, he allows the value of his plant or mer- chandise to be greatly in- creased without making a corresponding increase in the amount of his insurance.
 Or again, he may have his insurance written by a firm which fails to consider in preparing the policy, the spe- fife protection needs of his particular business.
 Better check up on your fire insurance; better get those policies out of the vault, read them carefully, see if there are any clauses that seem wrong, see if all the schedules agree-study them and find out what pro- lection you really have.
 Or, if you're not thorough ly familiar with insurance matters, telephone M a n 5414 and we'll be glad to have MT. James H. Awtrey, manager of our insurance department, make a careful survey of your requirements and policies and give you the benefit of his expert advice.
 This service is free to any responsible business firm in Birmingham, irrespective of whether or not we carry any of it's fire insurance.

 There was no effort during the day to bring the Knox resolution up for a vote and there were predictions in some quar- ters tonight that it would be permitted to die on the calendar Its supporters apparently have lost hope of forcing a. roll call before Monday, when the Ger man delegates must submit their decf- sion on the peace terms.
