TWELFTH EDITION OF
 THE BRITANNICA

MT. Hugh Chisolm. who has been editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica since 1904 is at work upo the prepa- ration of new volumes to be added to the present eleventh edition, and has large staff at work, both in London and New York. The editor estimates that almost 70 per cent of the new matter will be devoted to questions connected with the war, for, although every subject needing fresh treatment will be brought up to date, there are not many miscellaneous developments which call for extended additional space, apart from such special activi- ties as aviation. autom obiles. moving pictures and a few other among the industrial, economic and social ad- vances reflected in the opportune cen sus of the United States for 1920 The supplement will consist of three vol tunes, each of the same size, and con- taining about the same amount of mat ter, as the volumes now in use, and these three, in combination with the existing twenty-nine of the eleventh edition. will constitute the twelfth edi-
 tion, completely providing for the needs of the English speaking world during a great many years to come. The first edition of the Britannica ap- peared in 176S, the second in TIT, the third in 17SS the fourth in 1901, the fifth in 1915. the sixth in 1923. the seventh in 1880, the eighth in 1853, the ninth in 1875. the tenth in 1902, the present eleventh edition in 1911 and the twelfth edition will appear in 1921 For the first time in it's history of 15o years, the Encyclopedia Britannica was, in it's eleventh edition, published in two distinct forms, the "Cambridge University Issue" with large type and broad margins, and the Handy Vol ume Issue" with a smaller page. smaller type and narrow margins, at a lower price. thus making the Britain mica a work for rich and poor alike. The supplementary volumes will simi- larly appear in two forms. matching both issues.
 The editor and the contributors, sup- ported by the prestige of the Encyclo- pedia Britannica, have found among the official classes of the countries lately at war, hostile as we'll as allied the greatest readiness to supply infor- nation and to give access to all docu- ments. All this material from varied sources Is being carefully investigated. A fair and unprejudiced study of this chapter of history regarding 1t with absolute calm, is needed in order that our present attitude and our. plans for the future may be intelligently di- rected, and the editor evidently adopts

 are too many people in the world; that
 we can't feed them all; that it is we'll to have war every once in while to kill off some of them
 The real trouble with the world is sin; the essence of sin is selfishness; it is every man doing his own way re-
 gardless of others. What the world needs is a standard of conduct and then a power to enable one man to realize this standard in his own life. Imagine what condition there would be if there were no standard of time and every man followed his own hmepiece with no standard to regulate it by.
 Suppose there were no standards of physical measurements. This is the con dition in the moral world Each man wants to do as he pleases and wants to judge others by his own standard.
 Christianity proposes a remedy for the ills of the world. It is Jesus Christ as the standard of character and conduct,
 and the help of Almighty God in the realization of this standard This
 means pardon and peace and power. This is the only remedy that will really work

WHATS WRONG WITH THE
 WORLD"-DR DIIIARn

Before a large congregation yesterday morning, the Dr. James E. billiard. pas tor of the Southside Baptist church. preached on the worlds wrongs. Dr. Dillard said in part:
 Evidently there is something wrong Think of the late war; forty millions taken from useful employments and drilled in the arts of destroying. mil- lions of lives sacrificed; billions of property destroyed; unborn generations burdened with crushing debts, and the end is not yet. Then coming closer home; here is poverty, suffering, luxury, waste, hatred. lying. stealing. vice. drunkenness, gambling and crime of ev- cry description. Surely an au-wise and good God never intended that the world should be as it is today. Whats the matter?
 Some people close their eyes to real conditions; refuse to hear the cries of distress and smilingly tell you there isn't anything wrong. God is all and God is good, and, therefore. everything is just lovely, don't you know The pessimist on the other hand, insists that everything is wrong; that this is the worst possible world there isn't

Montgomery, July 25.-(Special)- visited by agents of the division of feed, food and drugs of the state de- partmente of agriculture in an effort to stop the sale of feed, which does not carry the weights represented. or is adulterated or misbranded. An nouncement was made by the division today that three shipments of dairy food were confiscated at Florence dur ing the week, and that each sack rep resented to weigh 100 pounds really weighed eighty eight, causing a loss of twelve pounds to each purchaser. The shipments came from a manufacturer of Memphis, whose name was withheld until further investigations may be made.
 Three seizures of feed were made by inspectors at Gadsden after one report had said that fine Jersey COW had been made sick by feed from the lot Two cases of eggs were confiscated in Montgomery because they contained large percentage of bad eggs. Five hundred dozen eggs were examined in Gadsden in an effort to prevent the disposition of eggs which are not good
 Especial attention will be given by the division during the summer to the campaign against the use of substitutes for sugar in soft drinks Preliminary investigations indicate that large number of leleterious substitutes are being offered for sale in the state. and the division propoa1s to obtain samples of all syrups, which will be analysed at the state laboratory The Alabama Bottlers Association has joined in the campaign, declaring that the aorganiza,-. tion has always insisted that state and federal laws against adulteration be complied with to the letter.

| strcng. although it was not the pre- sumption of Captain Dollar. that after the war was ended Asia would resume her former imports from Europe and that the United States would propor- tionately lose. It Is, of course, true that the higher money value of the 1 exports is in part explained by the greater valuation placed upon com modities, in other words, by the high prices And yet a careful study of the statistics shows that in spite of the high prices the increase in the quantity of merchandise carried across the Pa cific has been very great.
 WHAT WE EXPORT
 The United States is exporting to the far east chiefly manufactured products, but We are importing also heavily from Asia. The total imports for the fiscal year just ended were of the money value of s1 .350. .000 GOO. Asia, therefore, secured favorable trade balance of more than s4O0, 1000, ,O09. Therefore, our total commerce with the far east in the 2 months of the fiscal year just ended was s2,150.O00,- 900.
 These figures will not astonish Cap tain Dollar, but they will cause won Ger to all who have been unfamiliar with the magnitude of our commerce. with the far east and who have been lEnpTdht or tue ldCl iHdt tfllS com merce was increased in the first year after the armistice was signed. An increase of this kind was not looked for. It would astonish no one had there been falling in our trade with Asia
 The government at Washington has furnished statistics for the National City Bank of New York which set forth In detail our commerce with various nations of the far east. These figures show amazing increases We sold to Japan in the fiscal year 1920 commod!- ties of the money value of $460, 900. 900. In 1914 our sales to Japan were of the comparatively trifling money value of $5 900, 900. We sold to Irdia SIS. .000,- 900 in the past fiscal year; In 1914 India bought only s14000 900 worth of com mooities from the United States. We marketed in the Dutch East Indies commodities of the value of S45, 900, 900, whereas in 1914 our total sales there were only St000,o GOO.
 This is probably without precedent in the history of American commerce. But 1t is believed to be only the be- ginning. Within 10 years if the pre- diction of Captain Dollar is justified, our Pacific commerce will far surpass the commerce which is carried across the Atlantic. We are buying heavily in the far east, and these imports show an increase comparable to our increase in exports.
 We bought ip- Japan $500. 900, 900 worth, in China $92o 0oo 0o0 In the Dutch East Indies $97 900, 900 and in the Philippines s70,000,000,
