For Good of the
 Community
THE face of the future.

A One saw it in the earnestness of the two score young men of Birmingham and several young women who attended the opening exercises of Birmingham's School of Foreign Commerce on Monday evening in the Chamber of Commerce.
 There was not only a suggestion of the personal ambition to achieve. One also felt that these young people nourished the inspiration to extend the name and the fame, the prestige of their city and state to the far corners of the earth.
 It is out of just such stuff that Great Britain carved her empire of the seas. She not only sent her ships to India, but she sent her young men with these ships to learn the native ways, the natural re- sources, the geography, the history, the genius of the land and the peoples
 Before England was a commercial na- ton Holland was doing business with China and Japan and had planted a col ony in South Africa. It was the wealth garnered by the Dutch shipmasters that enabled William of Orange to success fully resist the power of the Spanish em- pire.
 England's first weavers and spinners came from the Low Countries Not until Elizabeth winked at the privateering of Sir Francis Drake on the Spanish main and Raleigh and Smith carved out a new empire in America did Britain begin to be that which she has finally become.
 The earth is one-third land and the rest is water Two-thirds of the peoples of the earth must be reached by ships if reached at all. The ships must bear men to the faraway peoples who know something about them and their ways if we would deal with them.
 Visitors to South America and to Cuba come back impressed with the wealth of these people. No more beautiful cities are anywhere on earth than in Brazil and Argentine None are richer. In none is there greater market for what America has.
 w. J. DangaiX and Carl Brown, of the Gulf States Steel, have recently been all over South America They bring back the same impressions, the same convic- tions based on personal contact. The Latin-Americans have the money and they want what we have to sell
 But the Latin-American above all other things, wishes to know the man with whom he trades They have traded with Germany because Germany has main tained schools of foreign commerce and sent the graduates from these schools as trading agents to the Latin Americas
 The rumbling of lower prices in this country is a trumpet call to the wise to get busy with the far-aWay peoples to take the surplus which will very soon be produced in this country. The young man who soonest qualities for foreign trade, will be soonest in that game and he will find himself bid for at periods when it may be difficult for other young men to secure positions at all
 Birmingham is already large export CT of steel and iron products, including engines and sugar house machinery, wire nails, wire fencing and the like There is already need for the young man and young woman qualified for positions in the export trade game. This need will be an acute one before the close of the first year of the Birmingham School of For

LANSING WILSON NOTES BARE

President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing, leading up to the latter's
resignation. which was given out last
night:

My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Is it true, as | have been told,
that during my illness you have fire.

ecutlve departments of the Govern
ment into conference? If it is, |
feel my duty to call your attention
to considerations which | do not care
to dwell upon until | learn from you
yourself that this is the fact. I'm
der our constitutional law and prac-
tice, as developed hitherto, no one
but the President has the right to
summon the heads of the executive
departments into conference, and no
one but the President and Congress
has the right to ask their views or
the views of any one Of them on any
public question.

cause in the development of every
constitutional system, custom and
precedent are of the most serious
consequence and | think we will all
agree in desiring not to lead in any
wrong direction. / have therefore
taken the liberty of writing you to

Washington, February 8, 1920.
Ny Dear Mr.. President:
1T is true that frequently during
your illness | requested the heads of
the executive departments of the
Government to meet for informal
conference.
Shortly after you were taken i'll
in October certain members of the
Cabinet, of which l was one, felt
that, in view of the fact that we were
denied communication with you, it
was wise for us to confer informal
'ly together on inter-departmental
matters as to which action could not
be postponed until your medical ad-
visers permitted you to pass upon
them. Accordingly |, as the ranking
member of the Cabinet, requested
the members of the cabinet to assem-
BILE for such informal conference and
in view of the mutual benefit de-
rived the practice was continued. |
can assure you that it never for a
moment entered my mind that | was
acting unconstitutionally or con-
trary to your wishes, and there GER
tainly was no intention on my part
to assume powers and exercise func-
tons which under the Constitution
are exclusively confined to the Presi-
dent.
During the troublous times, when
many difficult and vexatious ques-
tons have arisen and when in the
circumstances l have been deprived
of your guidance and direction, it has

clearly my duty to bring them to an
end at the earliest moment compati-
bic with the public interest.
Ever since January, 1919, | have
been conscious of the fact that you
no longer were disposed to welcome
my advice in matters pertaining to
the negotiations in Paris, to our for
eign service, or to international af-
fairs in general. Holding these
views l would, if l had consulted my
personal inclination alone, have re-

COTTON SHORTAGE THROWS BIG
SCARE INTO ENGLISH MILL MEN
Calling on Government To Aid in DEVELOPING
New Sources of Supply
of Raw Staple

| English manufactured cotton went
into exports and this constituted
one-third of her total exports upon
which she. so largely relied for
favorable balance of trade with the
rest of the world.
The whole world is short of cotton
goods. This would therefore be a
golden opportunity for the British
factories. Only the world is also
short of raw cotton. And this is par
tlcularly true of the finer grades of
cotton.
The famous Sea Island crops of
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida
have been greatly diminished because
OF the ravages of the boil weevil. The
equally famous Egyptian cotton,
which used to go in the main to Eng
land, is being vigorously competed
for by the American tire manufac-
turers who use it in making tire
fabric.
An Empire Cotton Growing Com
mlttee has just made a report rec
ommending that the British treasury,
the British dominioris and the cotton
industry unite to finance means of
studying no VITO produce better and
bigger cotton crops in various parts
of the British empire. The countries
in which it is hoped to grow cotton
to take the place of the American
crop are West Indies, Egypt, Sudan,
Mesopotamia, Uganda, East Africa,
Nyassaland, hRodesia, Nigeria, India,
and part of Australia.

In thus severing our official asso-

which will show you that l have not
been unmindful that the continuance
of our present relations was impos-

My Dear Mr. Secretary:

your letter of February 9th in re-

explain the motives of these meet

which justifies your assumption of

of the fact that you were denied CON-
munication with me, it was wise to
confer informally together on inter
departmental matters and matters as
to which action could not be post
poned until my medical advisers per-
mitted me to be seen and consulted
but / have to remind you, Mr.. Secre-
tary, that no action could be taken
without me by the Cabinet, and

LONDON, Feb. 14.-The pesky
boil weevil plus the American cotton
planter plus the American cotton
manufacturer have thrown such a
tremendous scare into the great cot
ton manufacturing industry of Great
Britain that the government is being
called upon for aid in developing
new sources of supply of raw cot
ton.
Cotton spinning has always been
one of England's greatest industries.
When anything hits the cotton trade,
England knows hard times. 1t was
so during the Civil War when cotton
was not shipped from our Southern
states. And it is becoming increas-
ingly so now for three reasons:
/. The boil weevil is serious
ly cutting down the amount of
cotton grown in our South.
2. The American planters are
raising less cotton because many
of them have gone in for food
crops.
3. American mills, which used
to consume only 80 per cent of
our own crop, now consume
nearer so per cent.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C
cumulated impurities, commonly cal
led uric acid deposits, were dissolv-
ed in the joints and muscles and ex
PEELED from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers. Your
