$2O,OOO,OOO DAMAGE
BY GEORGIA WEEVIL
Several Additional Millions Loss On
Account OF UnfaVorabIe Weather
Shown In Official Report On
Cotton.

Atlanta, Sept. 4.-Twenty million
dollars damage by the weevil and sew
eral additional millions loss on ac-
count of unfavorable weather during
August is a conservative estimate, ac'
cording to a cotton report issued by
the cooperative crop reporting serv-

missioner J. J. Brown of the Georgia
department of agriculture and U. s.
Field Agent, H. r. Pettet.
The tremendous loss Is based on de-

be checked by comparing the prom

present indication of 1,679,00O bales,
figured roughly with cotton at 80

has but one precedent, that of Au-
gust 1918, when drop totalled IL
points. This year the rapid advance
of the weevil, with unheard of activi-
ty, following excessive moisture, has
probably put the cotton below any
harvesting in the last ten years.
Should this continue another ten days
the total production will be more COM
parable with that two decades ago.
A fair idea of the situation may be
had by imaging a. line drawn east and
west through Macon. South of this
division there is less than half a crop,
with condition worse and worse as
one travels south and more particular
iy southeast. North of this line the
cotton becomes better and better till
one reaches the hills on line with
Atlanta. Here one emerges from the
weevil stricken districts, and finds
the plant still good. Farther up in
the hills. close to the edge of the cot.
ton belt it becomes exceptional.

Britain has struck upon the
idea of selling some of her excess real
estate as a means of tightening her
burdens
The United States acquired a reputa-
ton as a speculator in :ropical fruit
farms when it paid S25OoO,00O to Der
mark two years ago for the VIRGIN
Islands off the east coast of Porto Ri.,
Now the idea is for the British to sell
some of their choice locations in the
sun to this same investor-who han
pens to be creditor-and thus, per
haps, Tighten the burdens both of debt
and imperial responsibility with the
same missile
To this end "The London National
News says that the suggestion that
the British West Indies be ceded to the
united States in part payment of Great
hrltaln's war debt is being seriously
considered on both sides of the At
lantic.
Perhaps the first time serious thought
was given to the transfer of the British
west indian colonies to the Stars and
Stripes was soon after the outbreak of
the war, when the English realized the
burden they were to her. In 1917 there
were rumors in diplomatic quarters in
Washington that the sale of the British
islands to the United States was
actually being considered. But nothing
ever came of the rumors, and Secretary
Lansing said last week, when asked
about "The National News" statement.
that he knew nothing about it.
The British West Indies comprise the
greater number of the string of pearl
like islands that are strewn in a graceful
line from Florida to South America, like
necklace thrown around that corner
of the ocean known as the Caribbean.
All told, there are some four thousand
of these bits of land though not many
more than a hundred are populated and
most of the islands are only great reefs
thrown up from a volcanic sea in some
bygone day.
The British Indies have a total area
of 1900 square miles-equal to the
states of New Jersey and Connecticut
They have a population of nearly g.

other region on earth except China.
Bermuda-the name might awaken
memories of onions in the minds of
some-isn't strictly one of the Indies

dictator, resigned power, ceding his
place to a Moderate Socialist gov
ernment under the leadership Of

The change, The Associated Press
says, was the result of the Allied
refusal to make peace and the crush
ing defeat of the Red army by the
Rumanians'
The new government Immediately
entered into negotiations with the
Allies for an armistice and peace.
This fact, however, did not check
the Rumanian advance, and on
Monday, August 4, the Rumanan
troops marched into the Magyar
capital, although the Supreme In
ter-Allied Council at Paris expressly
prohibited such a move. According

NHE average American is just
beginning to awaken
through the pressure of last
weeks developments in the
labor situation, to the tremendous
implications of the conditions
created by the exorbitant cost of
living. For the peoples of Europe
The idea that the road to revolution
is paved with high prices has already
become a commonplace. Of the
Allied nations, Italy has come near
est to a tirst-hand experience of an
explosion of popular discomfort such
as has swept away organized gov
ernment IN more than one country
CT Europe east of the Rhine. The
events in Italy in the end of June
and the first week of July are sum-
married. by Philip R. Mackenzie,
special correspondent of The Trib-
NhS All 4\OIllt, DIS 1OllOWS.
From the Alps to Sicily, IN every
city, town and village during the last
weeks the people of Italy have been up
IN arms waging war against the HIGH
cost of living. Mob law, as was to he ev-
pected, triumphed, and to-day the high
prices of food have been reduced bv
half everywhere. Nothing short of
revolution could have remedied the
nigh cost of living in this country.
where meat was sold at So a h.,
chicken cost 81, fruit and vegetables
over 90 cents lb., eggs from 20 to 10
cents each and everything else was
proportionately dear. Rationing proved
a failure, food control merely served
to increase prices, and the numerous
.aws passed to regulate distribution
We're invariably evaded. The only rem
edy adopted TO improve conditions con-
sisted IN increasing wages and salaries
and a result abor is as dear in Italv
as 1t is in America, while practically
Ge entire revenue of the state is spent
on salaries, allowances and pensions
accorded to government employees.
This remedy proved successful for only
omparatively short time. As prices
continued to rise and food shortage
naturally became more acute owing to
an increased demand, in practice the
remedy proved only vicious circle.
