CONTENDS LEAGUE
 Is NOT CONSTITUTIONAL

Washington, February 19.-(Special.)-A republican senator, as yet hesitant about the use of his name, declares that even were the Senate to indorse the constitu tion of the proposed league of nations. that constitution could not prevail under the constitution of the United states.
 He declares that an act of Congress takes precedence over a treaty. In 1S46 the United States made a treaty with China permitting Chinese to become resi- dents of the United States. Later, Con- gress enacted Legislation denying them such right. The conflict was carried to the supreme court, which upheld C. gress
 This Senator declares that the leas;:-- of nations constitution is in conflict with the constitution of the United States, and that as result, the former could not become operative even should the Senate indorse it. The prospects are that Con gres will adjourn March with rivals locked in furious debate with the league as a topic.

place. I know also that since November IS the American public has had no infor- nation of German brutality, and that as a result, hatred toward Germany is and has been on the wane.
 "The French, very anxious to guaran- tee their safety in the future, opposed the idealism of President Wilson. They wanted him to see for himself. and thus insisted that he visit the devastated re- gions. They are regretful that he touched only the edge of veritabIe hell but are hopeful that he saw enough to impress him with facts which he might hereto fore have thought favored with fiction.
 Tt is atrocious that whereas the gov ernment prevents the circulation in the United States from France of features bearing on German barbarities. the fin ternatonalzed,' radical weekly and monthly press of New York is permitted without hindrance to print stories calcu- lated to restore Germany to the hearts of the people, and to cause the spread of bolshevism and red theories through out the country.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
 SOLDIERS OF SOUTH

WaShingtOn, teDruary ly.-lSpecl9t.) J
 Lieut.. Royal c. Johnson. member of Con
 gress from South Dakota, went to France
 and into the trenches where he received
 a wound. On the floor of the House he
 bitterly criticised the President and vari- ouS members of his cabinet for an al legged lack of appreciation of the dough- boys. He declared that attitude natural,
 inasmuch as no. close relative of the
 President or any member of his cabinet
 was a fighter-was, as he stated it, per
 mitted to become a fighter although
 some of them, desired to be-
 He was evidently under the impression
 that this stricture would reflect on southerners as a rule. For he interjected
 this fine tribute to southerners in gen eral and Alabama in particular:
 At this point I want to draw a dis tirction between the administration and the boys from the great southern part of
 the United States, because the flower of
 the south enlisted in the army just as soon as war was declared. They did not
 care what war it was, but wanted to fight on the side of the United States against any enemy. and the record will show these fighting southern boys were real men and patriots. The records are the same from every state. Time is too short to mention them all, but I want to call attention to the Fourth Alabama, a IlSnClnR OutIlt Wnlcn LOOK great Uedl of boche artillery at St. Mihiel. These boys just loved to fight, and were so full of vitality that if they could find no one else to argue with they would dispute among themselves It has even been said, and I believe truthfully, that they threw offensive French hand grenades at each other just to keep in training for the big partes.' l saw a bunch of these Alabama boys at base hospital g at Vittel, and their only worry was fear that the war would end before they were restored to the fighting line. This was just as true of the boys from Virginia, Carolinas, Mis- sissppi and every other southern state, and no man who ever saw them operate could fail to realize why it took the north so long to subdue the south--it was nec- essary to smother the south by numbers. He then proceeded to criticise the Pres ident and his cabinet because no one "close to the administration was per mitted to fight

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, February 19. - (Special) Madison county's cotton crop of 1919, though it is expected to be less than last year because of the agreement among the planters to cut their acreage B 1-3 per cent, will probably be of better grade than heretofore. owing to concerted among the planters to adopt a uniform and higher grade of cotton. Acting upon the advice of agriculture; experts they are ordering thousands of bushels of big boil cotton seed and it is estimated that already orders have been placed for 10000 bushels of Cleveland big boil cotton. They are buying car loads of seed by pooling their orders. Half and half cotton is being abandoned in this county because of the shortness of the staple which was unusually short lats year as result of the dry season.
 Mrs. Martha Hamilton, formerly of Huntsville died yesterday in Memphis where she had been residing during the last few years. Her body was brought to Huntsville this afternoon and inferred in Maple Hill cemetery.

VIGOROUS CENSORSHIP
 ON HUN BRUTALITIES

Washington, February 19.-(Special.)-A Washington correspondent who has re- turned from Europe is disgusted because the United States prevents the circulation from France of stories of German atroci- ties, and permits pro-German and bol- shevik propaganda to flourish unchecked
 in this country.
 ''It is not generally known said he,
 that in the revised rules of censorship, published last November, Section D pre- vents the cabling of incidents of German atrocity unless such instances are sus- tained by evidence which would hold in legal court. That rule is so elastic that the censor may act as he sees proper. T have no idea who wrote the rule or suggested it. I know, however, that in the original rules no such section had

By HUGH w. RoBERTs

CTS came north because of the high wages paid for war work.
 Late reports indicate that the short age will be one of the most acute ln the history of the cotton belt" one official stated.
 "The negro laborers have seen a lit- tie of the world through army life and it is surprising how many of them a"e refusing to go back to the cotton fields from the camps:
 Already the employment service re- ports show a need for agricultural help and spring farm work has not yet started. These are practically the only localities reporting shortages. The large amount of labor needed to raise cotton makes it imperative that more attractive working conditions be offered negroes, the employment ser vice believes.
 To relieve threatened shortage the service has instructed all its agents near camps where southern negroes are demobilized to urge them to stay in the south because of the increasing unemployment in northern industries.

the Government and Promote in Gen
eral the Interests of the Petroleum
Industry.
WASHINGTON, June ia petrolc-
UNI institute, with headquarters in Wash
ngton, designed to act as link to con
meet the different units engaged in the
oil business with the government and
TO foster a better understanding of the
problem presented by the alleged dimin
ishing supply of petroleum, is the latest
reconstruction proposal.
The interesting feature in this propos-
al Is that 1t has been generally taken for
granted that the oil interests of the Until
cd States could take good care of them
selves without the establishment of such
an institution as is deemed desirable by
NJ. L. Requa, who has Just resigned as
general director of the oil division of the
United States fuel administration
Apparently the aim of those who spon-
sor this project is to carry on in time Of
,Ieace the work that was done during the
fTar by the petroleum war service commit
ltee, which, like SO many other war agen-
cles, Is now going out of business. 1t is
taken for granted however, that if such
an institute were ever established, it
would be absolutely independent of the
| big oil interests.
In this connection it is remembered
that during the period of the war there
was some doubt as to whether the fuel
/ administration or the petroleum war SER
vice committee was "the tail of the kite
when 1t came to a question OF fixing pric-
g, OF raising the price OF gasoline
The purpose of the proposed institute
Mr., Requa outlined as follows;
10 afford means Of cooperation with
the government in all matters of national
concern.
TO foster foreign and domestic trade
in American products,
| TO promote in general the interests
ofthe petroleum industry all its branch
To promote the mutual improvement
Ut its members and tie study Of the art
| and sciences connected with the petro
