of exports since January 1. It was nearly $5,Ooo000 and was larger than the money value of the exports of the like period for last year
 On the other hand the record made by imports for this period is regarded as es- pecially gratifying for two reasons. First, the money value of the imports was nearly 80 per cent greater than the value of the imports for the first seven months of last year Imports increased almost amazingly, while we barely held our ogn with respect to exports. In fact, we did not hold our own if the exports are reekoned in terms of dollars, for the ex- cess of exports in the past seven months was nearly S1,5OO. eco GOO. whereas for the like period of last year it was S2, ,70l, ,000,o00 nations which are selling to us are catch ing up and it may be that within year or two a balance of trade in our favor will no longer be reported. but instead balance of trade in favor of Europe. This will be of advantage both to Europe and the United States. A second reason for qualification in this latest report from Washington is to be found in the fact that much the greater part of the imports are for material needed by American manufacturers If industry was perma- nently slowing down our manufacturers would not be buying material from other nations in so great amounts as they are now. Therefore the increase in imports is of itself an excellent indication of the maintenance and increase of our indus- trial activity

COX VISITS BOYS
 WOUNDED IN WAR Governor Makes Dignitar- ies Wait While He Chats
 With COnvalescents
By A,.ocIst,d Pres,

New York. August 29.-More than $50 wounded war veterans shook hands here today with Governor Cox. who made a. dozen or more political allies wait two hours at his hotel while he visited the Polyclynic hospital. The second and last day of the democratic presidential candi- dates stay here had been scheduled for him far in advance, and some of Cover nor Cox's advisers counseled against taking so much time away from political conferences.
 Let them wait the governor said announcing his intention of visiting every one of the soldiers in the hospital. ''If it will cheer them to meet me, they won t be disappointed"
 And he made good his promise. Going from ward to ward, he chatted a moment with each of the invalids who, dressed in pajamas and bath robes and displaying bandages and crutches, included men in every stage of convalescence.

Bessemer. August Especial 1.-The women of Bessemer as a whole have not taken advantage of the opportunity to register in Birmingham, not. however, from lack of interest, but because of an understanding on their part that certain provisions would b Ie at the special session of the legisi. Ie for the women of this end of the county to register and vote. A number of prominent women however. have decided not to wait for this provision, but will register in Bir- mingham.
 The majority of Bessemer women have not been suffragists, a large number even protesting that they did not want the vote at all. However this may be, one thing is certain: Bessemer women may be depended upon to do their duty as shown by their wartime proclivities and when they are brought fully to the realization that it is their duty as in- telligent women to vote, whether they wanted suffrage or opposed it, they will regard their new privilege as a serious responsibility to their state and country and will not shirk it.
 Mrs E. L. Huey, Mrs. H. L. Bains. Mrs. Ben c. Perry, Mrs. w. P. Price, Mrs. R. w. Waldrop, Mrs. Lacey Edmu- son. Mrs. Tom Johnston and number of other prominent women have declared their intention of making provisions to vote. Mrs. Mary Gillen and Miss Berney Gillen have already registered, and Mrs w. L. Rush and Mrs. T. D. Lewis, who lived for two years in New York and voted for a governor of that state, will not be novices when the time comes to vote.

New York. August 2s-Alhert Breton, vice president of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, who has recently returned from a visit to Great Britain and Europe. speaks encouragingly of Eu- ropes economic and industrial recovery. He asserts that he has good reasons for believing that the European nations which fore the brunt of the worlds war are in an almost incredibly short time to recover from their losses, and further more to create a greater and more pros porous Europe than that of the years before the war
 Among the important information which bore the brunt of the worlds war some statistics which refer to the rapid recovery of foreign trade of Great Brit ain and France, and especially Belgium and Italy. For instance Great Britain s foreign trade is making such progress as rapidly to reduce her adverse trade bal ance.
 Her exports are steadily increasing, and her imports are showing a slight con- traction. In the first five months of this year Englands adverse balance was d,1o0,oo0,0oo But a year ago in the like period her adverse balance was S1,s63.0 .000,- GOO. France is also reducing her adverse trade balance, while Belgium's and Italys econQmic recovery is remarkable. There was some intimation in MT Breton's re- mark that the United States will be speedily playing a very important part in the financial and economic revival ot Europe.
 At present. however, we are passing through a period of economic readjust- mont When this readjustment has been fairly we'll completed then there will come demonstration that the people of the United States are not so completely ab- sorbed in our own affairs a. to stand almost isolated. but instead of that they will be utilizing to the full extent our re- l sources and our ability to aid the other nation

A NEW INTERN ATIONAL
 TRADE STATEMENT

In view of MT. Brewton's comments the report which was made public a day or two ago by the department of commerce at Washington will read with especial in- terest.
 England and France must depend more and more upon their exports especially to the United States, for some means by which they can overcome adverse trade balance and stand again upon a firm footing.
 The reports from Washington. which published in July a declining movement in our exports had begun, while on the other hand a very large increase in lm- ports was under way. This Washington report did not cause alarm. but instead qualification. because all agree that it Is in the American market for English and French commodities that the means will be found not guilty for aiding In paying their indebtedness to us on account of loans, but also the liquidation of the navy trade balance in our favor which has been maintained for several years
