! Opposed 10 Any Fern Of Lsaau,

In . bulletin sent to its branches
and members throughout the United
States, the League to Enforce Peace
declares that the so-called "Repub-
lican Publicity Association" which is
conducting q propaganda campaign
against the League Of Nations, has
no authority to speak for the Repub-
lican party and does not represent, in
any way the Republican national or
ganization. The statement says:
League to Enforce: Peace issues
this warning. because many persons
have given undue attention to- the
pronunciamentos Of the Republican
Publicity Association In the belief
that they express the official views
OF the party organization. The Re-
publican Publicity Association is
purely a private organization, con-
trolled by few Office holders and ex-
Office holders who include the i'm
placable enemies of the League Of
Nations. Its statements represent
the opinions Of the ultra radical
group among the opponents Of the
League Covenant.
THE chairman and one Of the chief
moving spirits in the association is
the Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Jr., ex-
senator from Oregon. Mr.. Bourne
does not even represent the majority
sentiment of his own state, where
both senators. one a Republican and
the other a Democrat favor ratifica-
ton Of the League Covenant. It is
we'll known that the association not
only has no authority to speak for
the Republican party, but through
it's unreasoninS attacks on the
League Covenant is causing serious
embarrassment to the Republican
leaders who are opposing all efforts
to make the League a party issue.
The declarations issued by the
Republican Publicity Association
show that this organization, or rath-
er its officers and executive commit
| tee, for it has no constituency. is
opposed to the entrance of the Unit
ed States into any League Of Ma
tons or other international agree
ment for continuing the cooperation
that enabled the free nations to win
. the war. 1t advocates a policy Of
national selfishness. .,hich the Amer
lean people repudiated forever when
/ they entered the struggle for world
freedom"
The above statement by the
League to Enforce Peace does not
take into consideration other propa-
ganda the deliberate purpose of
which Is to destroy the public hope
in America of any sort of a league
of nations. We are amazed, at the
volume and the source Of opposition
to anything that promises to rid the
world of militarism and it's graft and
lazy-man jobs. its dominating intol-
erance and its plots and schemes
and burdens that have been put upon
the people through all ages and ma.
tions.
An efficient league of nations thai
will do what the high hope of hu.
mainly has been for it to do. is pos.
sible if selfish interests behind man.
ipulating politicians are not permit.

Old Point, while Miss Blacars father
was delivering the address in dedica-
ton Of the restored monument to
Father Rasle, which, erected in 1888,
had been partially destroyed. 1t may
not have been the personal property
Of the martyred Jesuit, but must
have belonged either to him or to
one Of his converts, and doubtless
was dropped at the time of the sur
prise and massacre. The cross bears
upon one side the figure Of the Vir-
gin, with the inscription: Virgo I'm.
maculata Vitam Puram Praesta,"
while upon the reverse side is rep
resented the scene of the Crucifixion.
Another and much larger crucifix in

SMALLER ACREAGE REPORT CAUSE OF
 ADVANCE IN CORN
Advices From All Parts of Corn Belt Indicate Much Corn Land Will Be
 Planted in Wheat
By Associated Press

Chicago, February 25.-Corn advanced sharply today, helped by reports that much land usually devoted to corn would be planted with spring wheat The mar ket closed unsettled. 1sa3ssc net higher, with May s1. 257s@1.2 .26 and July sl211sG 1.215s. Oats finished unchanged to ssc higher and provisions varying from BOG decline to rise of 7c.
 It. was said advices from all parts of the corn belt indicated that the acreage of spring wheat would be largely in- creased by displacing feed grain. In some sections farmers were said to be pre- pairing to put the bulk of their land into wheat and to hold stocks of corn and oats in order to have feed next season A big supply of hogs was reported as still back on the farms, and there were signs of increased confidence that the existing hog price minimum would re- matn force during March. Additional impetus to the upward movement of prices was given by gossip that the ship ping tie-up at Buenos Aires continued On the other hand unverified reports later that the strike had been ended did a good deal to bring about reaction. Oats borrowed strength from corn.
 Free selling by packers, together with weakness in the hog market, made pro- visions average lower.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-26

New York. First advices said there would be no tenders, although the possi- biilty existed that bear interests would go to the sacrifice of making some delivery for tactical effect. On practical grounds there should be no tenders owing to dis counts and large grade allowances.
 March opened higher revealing strength in that position. It would seems the easi- est way for Liverpool or other foreign consumers to get cheap cotton by draw ing it through delivery on the discount position. ltt
 The following from writer on the New York marketS
 Except for a dip to 2l.50c for May on local selling after the opening. cotton held very steady at better than the previ- ous close. There was less pressure and it looked as though the selling had com pleted the liquidation by the professional element who bought freely on February t5 and r. General business was light and the market narrow most of the ses- sion. Today was first notice day for March and there was no tenders. This created a demand for March by shorts which had much to do with the firmness of the market. There were no exports.
 There are signs of genuine spot demand developing although it as yet can only be slow owing to the high basis. IT spots probably a large business could be done, but buyers hesitate at present because of the high basis. Dry goods reports says goods buyers are anxious to have prompt delivery of goods bought This would suggest better demand and shortage of shelf supplies.
 The weather map shows generally cloudy in the belt freezing in Oklahoma and northwest Texas, general rainfall. heavy over the eastern half of the belt.
 Indications are for clearing and freez- ing in the northwest quarter. but con- tinued unsettled weather for the rest or the belt, more rain in Alabama and the Atlantics and another general rain dis turbance likely by Sunday.
 So far the scalping tactics which have recently prevailed, are still the favorite course practiced by traders.
 Storm warnings are out on the coass from Bay St. Louis, Miss, to Carrie Belle. Fla, with a rain disturbance over south- ern Mississippi moving east
 The market opened unchanged to 70 points off, ranged with limit of 4o points for the day and closed unchanged to 20 points over the previous close.
 Spot markets in the west are advanced 20 to 25 points. Eastern spot markets are unchanged to 25 up.-John. F. Clark & Co.,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-26
New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 25.-Extremely unfavorable weather in the belt gave the cotton market good undertone to- day and led to sufficient buying to keep prices at a small net decline during the greg ter part of the session.
 The seriousness of the coal situation in England, however, was factor that worked against any aggressive buying movement.
 In the early trading prices lost 10 to 9 points, but this decline was quickly recovered and values were sent above the level of yesterdays close. Late in the session prices were IS to 31 points over the last quotation of yesterday. Clos ing quotations showed net advances of 6 to 29 points.
 The absence of March tenders in New York was construed favorably, but, nevertheless, prices were off on the open ing, the cabled news from England hav- ing bearish effect Before the session was very old the heavy rains over the belt were the main influence and they sustained values during the greater part of the session. Just on the close, early buyers sold out and the consequence was a slight recession from the highest levels.
