 CONTROL OF CABLE TO END MAY 10, IS ANNOUNCEMENT OF
 POSTOFFICE H B A D
(Continued from Page One)

suggest exactly what sort of legislation
 would be necessary. Republicans in Con- gross have made no secret of their in-
 tention at the forthcoming extra session to press for the immediate return of the
 service to private management. Leaders
 in this movement have asserted that in so doing they would endeavor to protect the companies interests.
 By proclamation of the President, the
 entire wire service. with the exception Of
 cable lines, was taken over by the gov
 ernment on July 31 last and placed under
 the direction of the postoffice department The proclamation as to cable control, as shown by postoffice department files, was signed by the President on November |2, but no announcement as to this action
 was made until after the signing of the
 armistice on November Il.
 Taking over of the cable systems was followed by a controversy between the
 Postma ster General and Clarence H. Me- kay president of the Commercial Cable
 company, which resulted in the dismissal
 of MT. Mckay by MT. Burleson
 POSTAL OFFICIAL FIRED Further controversy involved the Postal
 Telegraph company, when officials of that company obievted to the Postmaster Gen
 emls plan to amalagamate the Postal company with the Western Union. As a result of the controversy, MT. Burleson
 dismissed from government service Ed ward Reynolds, vice presidentand general manager of the Postal company's Pacific coast division.
 orders issued by the Postmaster Gen eral providing for nationwide increase in telephone and telegraph rates resulted in additional controversies and legal ac- tion in a number of states, from some of which suits have been appealed to the United States supreme court.
 The postoffice department recently was called upon to settle a strike of telephone operators in New England and members
 of the Commercial Photographers union oi i America, yesterday completed the can vass of strike vote.
 The land wire systems under govern,
 ment control were under the direction ol
 the Wire Control board with First Assist ant tostmaster General Rooms in charge | of organization and administration. Ihs cable lines have been under the direc' | control of Newcomb Carlton, president o1 1 the Western Union company.
 Proceedings involving the right th' Postmaster General to take over contro
 of both the cable and land wire systems are now pending in the supreme court I The effect of the turning back of the sys- tems upon pending cases was a supJec' upon which officials tonight refused te i comment although it is believed that tns proposed prompt return of the cable sys- | tems will render decision by the cour' unnecessary Arguments in the cable cases
 were heard early this year.
 ! Arguments in cases arising from tn' | Postmaster Generals order lncreaslne
 rates are to be heard by the court Mon'
 day, The cases resulted in appeals iron
 South Dakota and Massachusetts cour' I decrees although similar actions nav
 been brought in about 21 states.

 URGE THE WORKERS FOR VICTORY LOAN
Attorney General Palmer Big Card" for Today. Will Be Entertained and Presented by Senator
 Underwood

aYou finished your jOb over there, boys, and we've finished ours over hcrc.-
 That is the message Birmingham Vic tory Loan workers want to deliver to the members of the 167th regiment and other Alabama soldiers when they come for the celebration and reception.
 To do it the people of Birmingham, of Jefferson county, of the Birmingham zone and of Alabama must speed up in the matter of buying bonds. Zone Chairman R. A. Porter, County Chairman John L. Raul, Field Marshal Tom 0. Smith and all the generals and colonels and chair men and workers have set their hearts on attaining the victory against the com ing of the boys, and they are appealing to the people to back them up
 WHAT LAY SAYS
 we can't afford to have the boys come home and find us tagging in our duty to them and to our country" Field Representative Earl Lay, Chair men Porter and Raul and Field Mar shal Smith said in unison yesterday Alabama furnished per cent of the mortality among the American soldiers in France; every county in the state Is represented in the killed in action list, and Jefferson county furnished !, large proportion of the boys who made the supreme sacrifice. Don't let the boys come back and find that we are tagging in our duty to them and to those they left behind on the bat tlefields.''
 The armies and committees made no regular reports yesterday, but as they put in a strenuous day and will devote all of today to soliciting bond subscrip- tions 1t is believed they will have some thing good to report when they assemble

many for Versailles to receive the peace treaty. which is virtually complete. The only big Hsue still outstanding is Italy's claims with regard to Plume and the DnImntfanl coastal regions.
 President Ador of SweitzerIand has arrived in Paris and one re- port is that he has been requested to become the arbitrator in the dis pute. Another report. however, says his visit is in connection with the inauguration of the work of the league of nations.
 Considerable fighting has taken place in Bremen. where Spartacan forces made an unsuccessful att tempt to capture the city.
 Germany has been notified by the president of Ehe British commission in that country of the withdrawal by the allies of all biacklists against her and also the abolition of all trading disabilities.

 The revised covenant of the league of nations has finally been adopted at a pienary session of the peace conference. Sir Eric Drum mond is to be first secretary gem eraI of the league, the headquar- ters of which will be Geneva, Switzerland
 Japan's ambitions for a clause in the covenant dealing with racial equality were not satisfied, and the desires of France for an interna- tionaI police force and limitation and verification of armaments were not fulfilled. Both Japan and France withdrew their proposed amendments and it is reported that the league of nations itself later will pass upon the merits of the re- spective claims.
 Incorporated in the peace treaty which Is shortly to be delivered into the hands of the German delegates at Versailles are two momentious clauses. These call for the trial of the former German Emperor by an international tribunal, consisting of nve judges, on a charge of "a su- preme offense against international morality and the sanctity of treat t1es," and for the trial by military courts of German officers who may De accused of having violated the

This Continent.

Emerson.

Speaking with one Of the commits.
sioners appointed to make survey Of
the food situation in the battle-torn
countries of Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
Of food was far greater than anybody
had expected. With the investigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds Of live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders Of grain.
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummocked by bombs and shells,
many Of them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way Of cultivation can be carried on,
and even where that is done the work
OF leveAng and getting under cultiva-
ton will take a long time.
Much more devolves upon the farmer
on this side Of the Atlantic than was
at first supposed. Herds Of live stock
will have to be replenished, and this
will take years; the provisioning Of
the people in the meantime L. the task
the farmers here will be asked to un-
dertake. Producing countries will be
taxed to their utmost to meet this de-
mand; all that can be provided will
be needed. This need will continue
for some time, and during this period
prices will be high. The opinion Of
those who have given the question
most careful thought and study il that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria. Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments Of European neutrals for In
creased supplies now that there 10 no
