HARDEN SLATED FOR AMBASSADOR 10 UNITED STATES
Expect His Appointment When Diplomatic Rela-
 tions Are Restored.
FIGURED MUCH
 IN PUBLIC EYE
Headed Campaign Against "Sub' Warfare and For
 Wilson's Program.

Copenhagen, July 11-Maximillian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft," of Berlin, probably will be appointed German Ambassador at Washington as soon as diplomatic relations are restored, says the ''F'remdenblatt," of Hamburg.
 No other German writer figured so much in the public eye of late years as MaXimilian Harden, editor of the Berlin review, Die Zukunf-'' Apart from extreme Socialists like Lieb- knecht and the small group of Ger man democrats and pacifists, who, like Dr. Grellihg. Hermann Fernau and Herman Hesse, sought from their Swiss refuge to arouse the conscience of the German people against the criminal madness of their rulers. Harden was the only German pub
 icist who maintained, throughout the war, a detached attitude of non-con- forrnity and criticized consistently the disastrous course of the militarists and imperialsts.
 His campaign against the ruthless submarine warfare and in favor of President Wilson's peace program, campaign conducted with much ardor and energy, is well remembered. He stated his case with a fierce out spok which frequently made people in Allied countries wonder why the imperial authorities refrained from putting a danper his philip
 pics. The explanation was suggest ed that Hardens knowledge of cer- tain intimate phases af "o17~- life se- cured him a privileged position Before the war Harden occupied a peculiar position in the German press.
 He was always a free lance writer boastful of his independence and fearlessness. His inuence, however was not in proportion with his prom inence, partly because he always glor- | jed in running up against popular | ideas and sentiments, and partly be cause of his heavy and cratic, | though doubtless brilliant style. He attained the zenith of his notoriety a few years ago with an exposure of certain scandalous conditions in the | Kaiser's immediate surroundings l Harden, whose real name Is Isa- l dore Witkowski, Is a native of Posen. 1 His brother, who assumed the name | Richard Whiting, is prominent | fnancier and economist. A third
 brother still retains the original fam | lily name Witkowsky.

IRISH LANGUAGE
 WILL HELP CAUSE

Dublin, July 12.-Extreme import ance is attached by the Sim Fein leaders to the Irish language ques- ton. This has been made evident in several speeches lately.
 Arthur Griffith, member of Parlia- ment, gid they were only building on quicksand unless Ireland became again an Irish-speaking and Irish thinking nation.
 A free English speaking Ireland could never exist: 1t would remain in mental slavery to those who were now its political oppressors''

Department of our school is III d mucll

places than one who has learned pS

Every young man OF the South should
know the classification, preservation
and handling of cotton. 1t Is our
leading product and will continue L

sixteen million bales annually Iexas'
|Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, LOUIS
lana and Georgia supply eighty-flve per
cent of this total. More money is lost
leach year by the farmers on the mark
citing of this product than all othe
crops combined. The man raising 1t
often knows nothing about marketing
IT, and is therefore wholly ut the mercy
Of the man who is buying. The facts
ore we lose thousands OF dollars each
year for lack of trained men. Some
buyers will grade your cotton Strict

see the necessity Of knowing how to
grade your own cotton. In four weeks
time, we can prepare you to save this
year more than double the cost of your
learning. which is only $1,000.
, We have been asked, How do yOr
teach Cotton Chasing SO successfully"
The one answer is this: We believe
the time has come when the SOutl
needs to know more about her lead

know more about marketing the crop
which he lab0rs SO earnestly to pro-
duce; and which means meat. bread
and clothing to his family. To this
end. we have equipped our depart

done. Our teachers understand class
