The Worlds Markets
Weekly Metal Review
By Associated Press


 New York August 24.-The steel mar ket continues very satisfactory with the general price scale very firm, but with growing sentiment noticeable against further advances in the current levels Export movement of steel products is reported fair, although some large busi- ness is being held in abeyance pending arrangements of credit terms. The strike talk has not disturbed the market thus far.
 Pig iron continues active at a steady and sustained pace. The price levels are firm. The scrap market is featureless. In coke the levels are higher than they have been due to car shortage and diff fculty in securing adequate labor forces.
 much better feeling is to be noted in the copper market. Supplies in sec ond hands are practically nil and conse- quently the low prices of a week, ago have disappeared. September, October and November copper is being sold to- gether at one price, 24c per pound Re- ports from IS representative producing companies put the July output level at 89,14400O pounds, as compared with &, ,5s3 900 pounds in the previous month.
 The lead market is firm, the leading interest holding to it's 6-cent level with outsiders quoting a range from 5S5c to 5.90c. In spelter the market is reported quiet and steady. Tin continues very quiet and earliest delivery on straits is quoted around 5sc to soc per pound.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, August 2O.-By its nervous and very unsettled course the stock market last week unmstakably reflect. ed further untoward developments in the industrial world for particularly the ex- tension of labor disturbances.
 Other factors which accelerated the market or the down grade were the spread of the movement against high costs of the demoralization in the for. exchange situation.
 These latter conditions were partly rec. tifed and with them came sharp rally in quoted values, but threats of fresh strikes continued to serve as a restrain ing influence
 Taking the weeks lowest prices as basis of reckoning, many active stocks lost the greater part of the advance made in the previous five months, while a few standard issues were at lowest levels of the year
 Investment conditions also left much to be desired from the standpoint of conservative financial interests the bond market as a whole tending lower with many representative issues at minimum quotations for the past year or more
 Although the stock market is tech nically stronger for the liquidation ot the past three weeks, doubt is expressed as to the advisability of attempting a resumption of bullish operations at this uncertain period
 Money tendencies were firmer, call loans amounting to per cent after rul- ing at to 5 per cent under the high figure. Need for further caution re- specting loans were emphasized by the weekly bank statement, which disclosed the second deficit of the year in actual reserves.

KOLCHAK IN NEED OF
 SUPPORT AT ONCE ID REMOVE PREJUDICE
Russian Situation Is Grave, Says Dr. Martiny, Head of the Danish Red
 Cross
By Associated Press

Copenhagen. August 24.-"Unless something is done to remove the fear and prejudice with which they are now regarded. even by the bourgeois there is little chance for the ultimate suc- cess of Admiral Kolchak and General Denikine against the Russian bolshe- viki.'' said pr. Camilo Martiny, who arrived here today from Russia after a four years stay there as the head of the Danish Red Cross.
 The bourgeois desire allied inter- vention. The British withdrawal from North Russia means eventually Ger man domination there, especially since Germany has lost her overseas colonies and the only road left her is east ward"
 Commenting on his dealings with the heads of the soviet government. Dr. Matiny said:
 Recognizing the terrible failure of their policy, Nicolai Lenine and his as- sociates decided to abandon their ter rorist methods and their policy for im- mediate socialization, and for the first month of this year a moderate pro- gramme was carried out. Terror ceased. We must make peace they said, and reorganize the country later and seek to put communism in force.' While determined to keep the power in the hands of the bolshevists the policy at home was, IS far as possible. to secure the cooperation of other Russian parties and cease hostilities on all points on the condition that their present territory be left them, while they in turn agreed to cease aGi- tatior in other countries.
 But The moderates' policy failed to secure the longed-for peace. It was then the bolshevists turned to Peters and Dershinsky (two of the leading Red commi ssioners), with their ex- treme policy which is to make no peace until Europe and the world is joined this movement and for three months they have been the real gov ernment, with only nominal power TO- maining in the hands of Lenine and the other peoples commissaries.
 ''The ascension of the extremists was marked by the capture of Odessa and the repulse of the forces attacking Petrograd and the advent of soviet Hungary. The success against kol- chalk has been largely due to the gem eralship of Kamineff, who was col onel in the days of Czarism, his policy having prevailed over the defensive soviet policy and proved successful, all military power has passed into his hands,"

Auburn Expecting q Great
 Football Team This Year
Indications Point Toward the Best Season of Several years-Many Old Players Are Expected to Re
 turn-S. A. T. C. Team Almost Intact
HN NJ. J. DONAHUE

Big Sizemore, Coach" Warren, Wins ton Caton, Styles, Martin and Creel Then there is Ike Rogers, whose loss weakened that line almost fatally. If his game knee comes around this fall, he will show the experts some foot ball.
 From the backfield of that year, Rev ington is a possibility, and so is Kirk wood. Rat" Trapp, who did some good work in some of the games that year. will be on hand. and with increased weight will be better than ever. John Thomas is possibility, and Duck Sanford. who did some valuable work that year, will also be on hand.
 S. A. T. c. TEAM
 In addition to these there will be back almost intact the S. A. T. C. team that was too light to do anything against a strong college team, they played some very good foot ball at the end of the season, and sofne players showed grea- deal of promise. In fact, the back field looked very fair at the end of the sea son. It was made up of Scott, Sherlng, Howard Stubbs and Knapp. All of these will be back, at, Auburn.
 Snider, who was the only man of any weight in that line, will be back, and so will Pruett, a frst-class end. Gordy. w but aggressive players, will be back, and with their increased age will come in creased weight.
 While the main strength of the line will be furnished by the IT team, large part of the backfield strength will come from the youngsters of IS. In addition to these. there is some good class material. Monk Hughes is one of the most prom ising backs that Auburn has had, and will be on hand. and so will Jack Las serter, Widerberg, and three promising line men in Shirley, Lazenby and Edge,
 Of the twenty-eight "A" foot ball men that may be back, twenty-five of them have had but one year. and most of them have been out of the game for year or so Greeness is liable to be evident the first part of tiie season Included In the largest student body that Auburn hAs ever had. there will be some promising Rats that have signified their inten- ton of casting their lot with Auburn They will add interest to the proceedings Taken al-in- all, the season promises to be the most interesting in Auburn TOO, ball history.

pr. Crumpton on
 Making Europe Dry
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I am here in Gadsden for a few days. Seeing your editorial about the "Impos- sibility of Prohibition in England" remins me of old times in Alabama.
 The Anti-Saloon league in its humane efforts for the European people are proceeding on the lofty ideals of the best civilization. America is in the lead along such lines. You and all the editors have boasted of her leadership time and again. To argue that the people of the old world cannot be in- flucnced by our example~in prohibiting the use of alcohol, the beneficial ef- fects being everywhere apparent, is to argue against their intelligence.
 It will take time, of course, as it has here, but not so long. Just suppose that by some means patch of country, say a mile square, anywhere in Eng land, could secure a prohibition law and enforce it fairly well for 12 months, don't you know that intelligent people would sit up and note the benifits? wouldn't the people in the other neigh borhood take knowledge of it? That is exactly what happened in our country. The enc mile zones and the corporate limits of town were the boundaries in the beginning. In little while intelli- gent humanitarian and business people were convinced; the dul1est of compre- hension finally yielded until here we are a nation free from the legal sale of liquor and day by day the sentiment is growing stronger in spite of the dying efforts of the friends of the traf- fic.
 Suppose you turn to the Literary Di- gest of week before last and give your readers the result of one months ex
 perience of prohibition in San Fran cisco, New York, Boston, Philadelphia
 and Chicago. There was almost no
 effort in enforcing the law in July-\
 these places. The fact that the law existed was enough to make the change
 very marked. except in one of the cities named. Of course, when the machinery for it's enforcement is perfected the change will be more apparent. Let us give the people of Europe credit for having good, hard sense. They know good thing when they see it. The good of prohibition once demonstrated before their eyes they will do as we have done in this coun- try-surrender their long cherished d opinion that there was some good in alcohol.
 Let every good man in America, editors and all encourage the Anti-Sa- : loon league Let every devout soul pray for it's success. Let every sympathetic person contribute money to help the league in it's work in foreign coun- tries. Democracy, free from the curse of rum, is what the nations need. Yours truly. w. B. CRUMPTON. Gadsden. August 23 1919.
