GEN. MoRToN's FAREWELL

Anniston, June 6.-(SpeciaD.--M of the Blue and Gray division, commanded at Camp Mcclellan and later in France, are relating the experiences which came to the 29th division after it left An niston, and they are never without in- terested auditors when they tell their story.
 Just before the home coming of the former Mcclellan men Major General Charles G. Morton issued a farewell or Ger to the men of his division, and many of the men have preserved copies of the commanding officers general order.
 General Morton's farewell to his men is worded as follows:
 "The 29th division, which began it's off, ficial existence 18th August, 1917, is now about to be dissolved. From a large number of national guard organizations with superb material, but With little cScining discipline, it has become a perfectly trained, organized and discip- lined fighting machine, which can at any time be put into any military situation without anxiety to the result.
 The record of this division during the year and half of it's history has been superb. At Camp Mcclellan, Ala, the organization of the division was per- fected, it's discipline brought up to high standard and its training made effec- tive. Those who were not considered up to proper professional or physical stan dard were eliminated. The division thus formed was embarked for France in June, 1918, and with but little delay was placed
 in the trenches facing foes with four years training behind them. During the two months spent in the trenches the division received it's baptsm of fire. Inn mediately upon leaving the trenches 1t was transferred to the First American army and entered the great fight of the war the Meuse-Argonne offensive, where
 it stayed on the line almost as many days as any division in the army. It's behavior in this great fight brought com mendation from the commander-in- chlet of the American army, from the com mander of the First army, from the French army corps commander under whom it served, and from all others un- der whose notice it came
 ''Withdrawn from action but few days before the armistice was signed, the di- vision was placed into winter billets here, under adverse conditions of, cold, rain. snow and mud, it still maintained the same superb discipline for which It las been famous.
 ..The fallen will have the honor of the great country which sent them forth to battle for human freedom and of their co mrades in arms.
 Ard now. on the eve of returning home. the division commander desires to thank every officer and man for the magnificent work that has been done and to wish for each one long life, health and prosperity wherever he may go.

FARMERS MET EMERGENCY
What They Did to Win the War and
Save World from Starvation
Told BY Houston.

Washington.-In his annual report,
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston tells
in a brief way how the farmers of
America helped to win the war and
are saving the world from starvation
by marvelously. increased production
of foodstuffs. He says the wheat
crop for 1919 is estimated at a mil
lion bushels over that of 1918 and that
of corn S00,0OO,OOO bushels over the
last years. In meat production, also,
the record figure Of last year will be
exceeded, and the same is probably
true of milk, eggs and poultry. Crop
yields per acre. says Mr.. Houston,
show an upward tendency, due largely
to better methods and better ma
chinery.
Among other recommendation
made by the secretary are: The
building up of system of personal
credit unions; expansion of existing
facilities and activities for aiding
farmers in marketing, etc.

Of the war
Were such a treaty accepted, the
German nation would rise up and
avenge itself upon the men who

Britain and France are deliberately

Asked whether he would resign II
the remainder of the government de-
oided to accept the allies terms, Noske
replied that he could not say what he

present position had been deliberately

NOTED OUTLAW is CAPTURED

Wllds Of neutrality-suspicious. skip
ped from Ranch to Ranch.

Douglas, AriE.-William Carlisle, the
lrtful train robber, who for three
weeks had laughingly defied civil, rail-
road and private detectives, was cap
tured near Glend, Wyo., after he had
been seriously wounded.
The bandit, who had secluded him
self In the cabin of Frank Williams,
about IS miles from Douglas, fought
desperately the posse which had been
In pursuit until he fell from his
wounds. He was shot through one
lung
Suffering from his wound and be-
numbed by the extreme cold, Carlisle,

Carlisle attracted nationwide In
terest when, after escaping from the
peniteptiary in this state, he held up
and robbed the passengers on Los
Angeles Limited on Nov. Is. After
that escapade a message purporting
to be from him and haunting officials
because OF their vain efforts to cap
ture him was received throughout the
country.
1t was reported recently that the
chase had been abandoned, as 1t was
believed that the prolific bandit had
gone the way OF others in Wyoming
Into the hole in-the-wall In the
bad Lands" of the state.
When captured the outlaw made no
effort to conceal his identity. He was
given first aid treatment, and then
was strapped to pack horse and car
ried down the mountain. He told
members of the posse that he had
been in the Laramie Peak country
since he robbed the Los Angeles Lin
tied. Carlisles trail through heavy
snow had been followed since early
Sunday morning by two posses.
Sheriff A. S. Foach, of Wheatland,
who shot Carlisle before his capture,
organized one posse which drove
through a bitter blizzard Sunday to
the ranch Of Bob Fletcher at the head
of Fish Creek, on the south side of
Laramie Peak. The snow became so
deep that 1t was impossible for the
pursuers to proceed farther with
teams, and they made their way to
the top Of he peak on horseback. The
drifts then became so large that the
horses were abandoned, and the re-
mainder of the hunt was made on
foot
The posse learned that the bandit
had skipped about, eating his meals
first at one ranchers home and then
at another. He had his Thanksgiving
dinner at the ranch OF William Hill.
Carlisle escaped from the state peni.
Tertiary on Nov. 10 in a box of shirts
shipped from the prison factory. In
making his escape after robbing the
limited, he was wounded.

NO FUNDS FOR PROSECUTION
However, Department Of Justice VII
Watch for ProfIteerInp and Con-
tlnue Prosecutions.

Washington.-The government will
not attempt to control the distribution
and sale of sugar after the sugar
equalization board is dissolved Dec
81.
Attorney General Palmer in making
this announcement said that as nc
fluids had been provided by congress
for carrying on the work of handling
sugar, the department of justics
would confine its efforts to the pun
ishment of profiteers.
In explaining the abandonment OF
the program for defeating the sugar
shortage, Mr.. Palmer said he had put
the proposition to congress as obtain
ing tangible results, after officials had
outlined plans for a continuance OF
the control under supervision Of the
department of justice. He said the
necessary funds and authority we're
not forthcoming.
While Mr.. Palmer's action was gen.
orally accepted as opening up the
sources of more sugar cupplies by per
hitting refiners to pay more for the
Cuban raw stock, 1t also was believed
to mean that sugar prices would soar
The department will continue to hunt
down profiteers, but without means
of checking up on the cost to the re.
finers or without control of the price
at which the supplies come in this
country it was believed domestic con.
sumers would be forced to pay high
prices after Jan. /.
"The department of Justice has
never attempted to fix the price OF
sugar." continued Mr.. Palmer. "In
the past, 1t has accepted the recon.
mendations of the sugar equalization
board very largely in determining
maximum fair prices. The fair mar
gins of profit allowed are those es.
tablished by the food administration.
When such determinations were made,

board will make 1t impossible to set

ture or control its distribution. Every
sale will be treated on its own merits,
and all cases where the district at

CONSULAR AGENT RELEASED
state Department Is Informed That
Jenkins Is No Longer In Mex
lean Prison.

Washington.-William o. Jenkins,
the American consular agent. impris-
oned at Puebla, Mexico, was released.
The American embassy in Mexico
City reported his release In an official
dispatch received by the State Depart.
ment, and almost at the same time
news dispatches were received from
Mexico City which said an agent of
the American embassy had deposited
a check for $500 with the civil author.
tiles at Puebla.
This difference In the two reports
seemed to raise some doubt as to
whether Jenkins was released uncon.
ditionally on the diplomatic represen-
tations of the United States govern
ment, or whether he had been re-
leased on bail. as the Mexican authori-
ties have contended he could.
The State Department, however,
took the view that jenkins had been
released on its diplomatic representa-
lions.
