TBy E. G.. Dougherty.l

Washington, Feb. l7.-Members OF
congress from Iowa are beginning to
hear from their constituents on the
question OF universal military train
ing and on the proposed voting of a
bond issue in favor OF the former
service men. Representative Boies,
OF the Eleventh Iowa district, today
received very strong resolution
from the farm bureau of O'Brien
county, urging Mr.. Botes to actively
work against the passage OF the
army reorganization bill containing
the provision for universal military
training.
In outlining the opposition OF the
bureaus membership, which is plac-
ed at 1,400 farmers, the petition TO
Mr. Boies asserts that universal
military training will tend to in
tensity an already serious shortage
of farm labor" by requiring military
training OF youths who are now do
ing important work in harvesting
the crops OF Iowa The communica-
ton came from Primghar, Iowa,
where Mr.. Boies says there Is a
strong opposition to universal train
ing.
81 have answered the communica-
ton in the same manner that | an
swered one received last June. when
1 first came down TO Washington"
Mr.. Boies said Il said then and I
reiterate now that I am unalterably
opposed to compulsory military
training. If there were no other
votes against this provision of the
army bill mine would be recorded as
opposing il alone"
Mr. Boies declared that his res
ponses TO the requests for action in
congress on a bonus 10 former SOL
diers has been not so definite as his
stand on universal military training
for the reason that no decision has
been made by the house on this i'm
portant appropriation measure Il
believe, however" he said, that If
bill rewarding the former soldiers
and other service men is not passed
at this session of congress, 1t will
be given favorable consideration at
the next session"

LIGHT AND ICE PLANT
 AT TUTWILER HOTEL
 RESUME OPERATION
Millions of Gallons of Water Pumped Out-Big Spring Keeps Basement
 of, Hotel Flooded

After several million gallons of water had been pumped out, the big electric and ice plant in the basement of the Tutwiler hotel were able to function la st night.
 The complicated machinery that sup plies light, heat and ice for the hotel was put out of commission Friday aft ernoon as result of the heavy min- storm. About twelve feet of water gath cred in the basement.
 The combined apparatus of the fire de- partment and the telephone company were unable to rid the basement of the surplus water. Finally it was found that the water was coming from spring that had been found when the excavation was first made for the hotel
 It was provided in building that this extra water should be for general put poses about the building. However a. the hotels pump system was out of or der, the water flooded the basegnens Sand bags were used to temporar;iv ss6p the flow from the spring.

coke could be shipped to foreign coun- tries, especially the Latin-Americas, if the coke could be secured. However, the Birmingham distjct makers are kept so busy supplying tre immediate home trade that very little is going out of the district much less to such far-away r faces as Chile.
 The Valparaiso shipment is not the first to that place, nor apt to be the last. There have been several cargoes shipped to that point. In fact, a movement takes place whenever the district makers are able to reply in tne affirmative to the constant influx of inquiries
 The Braden Copper Company ships its Valparaiso product to Baltimore and whenever it can obtain Alabama coke, puts in a. a southern port for that pur- pose. The company has several vessels of it's own, and does not depend on others.
 outside of few cars of coke to Mex movement is the only export shipment of recent occurrence The Alabama By Products Company is among those re- porting an influx of foreign inquiries.
 Tn addition to the coke shipment out of Pensacola on Friday, one steamer sailed for France with 3.2ij tons of coal The export coal business is curtailed partly through lack of coal and partly through lack of terminal facilities at the ports of Pensacola and Mobile. When Mobile has the proposed coal terminal an unlimited amount of business may be done both in bunker and in export coal at that point.
