"Bone-Dry'' Europe
 Somewhat Remote

THE suggestion that Americas
 O militant prohibitionists will be able to make England "dry" has been received with skepticism and no little amusement by the British. Even the foes of rum in England do not ven ture to hope that British conservatism, one of the nations salient charactrrls- tics, can be overcome.
 The Anti-Saloon league is said to be planning to establish a chain of headquarters in Europe and Africa, but for the time being the prohibi- tionists are prevented from carrying out their plans by passport restric- tons and a shortage of transporta- tion facilities. The New York Worlds London correspondent states that Alabama's prohibitionist, L. B. Mus grove, and his fellow members of the peace conference committee of the Anti-Saloon league are now in Paris

S. * * Uneasy Lies the Head That Wears a Grown"

RHHE old adage that there is no ac-
 O counting for tastes is exempli- fled anew in the case of Ex-King Man uel of Portugal. Having lost his crown in the process of sowing his wild oats, Manuel settled down in England with his wife, Augusta Vic toria, and has been living, so far as the newspapers show, quiet, respect able life Always a likable sort of chap, and handsome withal, Manuel has been more or less of an ornament to English society and as country gentleman, in accordance with the best traditions of the "Tight Little Island," left nothing to be desired. Moreover, he and his spouse were re- ported to be happy and without re- gret for the loss of their royal posi- ton.
 When Europe was in turmoil and kings and princes were fleeing hither and yon to escape retribution, Manuel slept securely with no fear that irate subjects might haul him from his bed, or prowling bolsheviki seek his life. In fact, compared to the plight of other royalty his lot was enviable.
 Now he is reported to be willing to resume his crown and according to rumor is waiting to take advantage of the revolution started in his be- half in Portugal. In the history of the world there was never a time more unreasonable for such venture. If Manuel were philosopher no induce ment could draw him from his idyllic existence in England and plunge him once more into political strife, to court the assassin's bullet.

Just before the meeting adjourned last Wednesday President Andrews told how Fred had been complaining of his silver ware, linen, dishes and various hotel equipment and supplies disappearing, as vel, as everybody's automobile, and what a shame it was that the thieves were not aprrehended. As he finished telling this he picked up the spoon with 'Hoopers' on it and announced that it was at his plate. He immediately announced the meeting adjourned, fd Fred had no chance to explain

Conscientious obicctor. for Purpose

Conscientious Collectors for Purpose ] While I was at Camp Funston as camp adjutant," said Maj. Frank S. White, Jr., there was a Nebraska lieu | tenant who brought a negro soldier into my headquarters one day and stated to me that the negro was a conscientious objector, and that since he was from Alabama he wanted me to talk to him.
 "The first thing I did was to com msnd him to stand at attention instead of taking easy chair he saw nearby He noticed my southern accent and i'm mediately looked me over. Finally he said: 'Majah, ain't you frum de south? replied that I was Then I asked him what church he belonged to, and he re- piled that he was a Baptist. I told him that if he was a Baptist, and claimed to be a conscientious objector that he was a liar and he knew it, for Baptists were fighting folks, and especially an Alabama Baptist, white or black. Then the negro said:
 Boss, Use gwine to come clean wid you. Ise been a barber down at Daffney Alabama, all my life, and I never is done no hard work, and when dis here little Nebraska lieutenant put me to digging ditches clean across Kansas jest naturelly white eyed on de job and 'cided dat I'd be a conscious 'jector fur jest long huff to git good and rested Ise had bout fo' days rest now, and spects if it's alright wid you dat I'd bet ter git on back to my outfit, fur I sees dere ain't no use trying to fool one of my own white folks"

 0 Telephone and Telegraph com pany, widely recognized authority on telephonic operation from economic and commercial points of view, dis cusses broadly and exhaustively the entire wire system in letter to John A. Moon, chairman of the committee on post roads in the House of Repre- sentatives.
 The letter refers to the pending House bill No. 36S. It is published in a pamphlet of twenty-nine pages and the facts presented and the sug- gestions set forth will prove an in valuable contribution to the history and the literature in general of CO., related wire communication.
 MT. Vail submits that. 'the great utilities of interchange and Inter communication which have been SC largely instrumental in the develop ment of the economic and social world' are suffering from the ap. plication and interpretation of exist. ing laws concerning control and regu- lation." The proposed legislation calls for time.
 Mir.

THE UNaUENCHED PACIFIsT

From the Kansas City Star.
 The military intelligence bureau gives out list of 62 men and women holding
 radical and pacifist views" All of the 62 are persons of standing, the majority of them with national reputation. It isn't a long list, or list to worry about But two things the average American can not understand, One is, how there could be any such list at all; how it could be that intelligent persons should have been so blind to the actual facts of life that they were pacifists.
 The other is, how these persons, just having been shown to be fatally lack ing in practical judgment on international affairs, should come forward so blithely, now that the war is over, to advise their fellow countrymen on what international policy to adopt for the future.

Regarding Cotton and
 Food Production

VIE OnlIeu SIaVeS uepartHeht o1
 N agriculture, in a statement re- gently issued, says it would be wise for the south to adjust cotton acreage this year so as to "leave available sufficient land to produce food and feed for their families and live stock"
 While Alabama was blessed with bountiful food crops, the 1918 yield was cut short in several states by un- favorable weather. The department urges, therefore, increased acreage planted to food. Diversified farming should be practiced in many states on a larger scale than ever. Some of the farms have been devoted almost en- tirely to cotton. This System" must be changed. As the department in- sists, the south must feed itself. The fact that Alabama has been planting less of cotton and more of food easily accounts for its extraordinary pros peritv at the present time.
 Regarding the fleecy staple the az |ricultural department points out that If industrial conditions in all cotton consuming countries do not reach normal and if the industry is not re- stored the consumption will be sub- stantially less than pre-war average requirements. With practically com pletc restoration, cotton consumption may be expected to equal that of nor nal or pre-war times on account 0. the present shortage of cotton good. in various nations. Average require ments outside of the United States according to the department, wer, given as 13,010,0O0 bales, domesti requirements, 6,000,O0O bales.
 The 1918 crop is estimated a i'll, 700, ,000 bales. After domestic re lquirements are taken care of," say the statement, "there will be an eS ,1portable surplus of about 3,1S0,00
 bales, making total present surplu
 stocks for the world about S,280,00
 bales, against 100000 bales in re
 quirements. The apparent deficit

 Alabama will grow some cotton thi
