VIII Obtain cac.a.

Approximately $300,000 in stock
in the company was subscribed by the
bankers present, d number OF whom,
unable to subscribe yesterday, are
returning to their boards Of direc-
tors for authority to subscribe their
quota. South Carolina banks will
have little difficulty in reaching their
quota Of approximately S5G0,o0O, ac-
cording to J. P. Matthews, state
chairman.
The resolution recommending re-
duction OF the cotton acreage, intro
duced by D. NJ. Crosson of Leesvllle,
states that at is the sense Of the
South Carolina Bankers association
that the farmers of the state should
reduce the cotton acreage planted
next year by so per cent, and that
the banks should discourage the f.
nancing of crops where this is not
adhered to-" The introduction of the
resolution followed the address of
Ex-Governor Manning, who urged the
bankers to use their influence in urg-
ing the reduction of cotton acreage.
The farmers should be taught, Mr..
Crosson said in discussing his reso-
luton, that the banks do not pro-
pose to help those who do not help
themselves, and that the first meas
ure of self help is the reduction of
the cotton acreage by one-half. D..
r. Coker also recommended so per
cent. reduction in the cotton acre
age.
The meeting which was presided
over by H. w. Fraser Of Beaufort,
president of the South Carolina
Bankers association, was called fol
the specific purpose of discussing the
Federal international Banking COM
pany, now being organized under the
Edge act. This organization, J. Pope
Matthews, president of the Palmetto
National bank, pointed out, will be a
money making business. There was,
he said, no element of speculation or
risk about it.
To Finance Southern Exports.
The company, which had its formal
genesis at New Orleans November s,
proposes to finance the export of
Southern products, chiefly cotton,
thereby opening up markets now
closed, serving the double purpose
of supplying foreign buye"S with the
needed raw material and the South

For The
Homemaker's Eve

There was a time when no din
ner was complete without soup;
when every woman had stock
pot if she ever made any pretense
to being a cook of any kind. But
somehow the soup has disappear
ed from most tables as a regular
course.
Dietic experts claim that a thin
soup is valuable for hearty din
ner because the hot liquid taken
into the stomach first starts the
flow of the digestive juices, and is
so easily assimilated.
A heavy soup, meat juices, vege-
tables and the like, is real food
as are the cream soups and purees
and they are so. nutritious it is
not necessary to have so heavy a
dinner to follow.
Soups are divided into two main
classes, those with stock and those
without stock.
1t may interest you to know the
kinds, or headings, rather, under
which they come.
There is bouillon, for instance,
made from lean beef delicately
seasoned and usually cleared.
Clam bouillon is an exception to
this, however.
Consomme is usually made from
two or three kinds of meats, some
ties beef, veal and fowl being
eployed. 1t is highly seasoned
with vegetables, sweet herbs and
spices and is always served clear
Brown soup stock is made from
beef as rule, two-thirds meat
and the other third bone and fat
This is also highly seasoned with
spices, sweet herbs and vege
tables, and forms the foundation
for most of the meat soups.
White soup stock is, as rule
made from veal or chicken, and

ELECTION DAY
BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER

The proudest now is but my peer
The highest not more high;
Today, of all the weary year,
king of men am |.
Today, alike are great and small,
The nameless and the known;
My palace is the peoples hall,
The ballot-box my throne!
Who serves today upon the list
Besides the served shall stand;
Alike the brown and wrnkled fist,
The gloved and dainty hand
The rich is level with the poor, .
The weak is strong today;
And sleekest broacloth counts no more
Than homespun frock Of gray.
Today let pomp and vain pretence
My stubborn right abide;
l set plain mans common sense
Against the pedant's pride.
Today shall simple manhood try
The strength of gold and land;
The wide world has not wealth to buy
The power in my right hand!
While there's grief to seek redress,
Or balance to adjust,
Where weighs our living manhood less
Than Mammon's vilest Dust
While there's right to need my vote,
A wrong to sweep away,
Up! clouted knee and ragged coat!
mans man today!

COMMENT OF PARIS TEMPS
 ON WILSON'S ADRlATfC STAND

Paris. Feb. 16--Discussing editorial ly President Wilson's note and the re- ported allied reply the Temps today says the entire Adriatic question has beer placed in q state of suspense again by President Wilson's memo randum- and that much patience and tact are necessary on all sides" The newspaper continues:
 -It goes without saying that none of the three allied governments wishes to give the government of the United States any motive or pretevt for with drawing from European affairs.
 The cabinets at London and Paris do not cons der their proposal of Jan. % So unfavorable to the Jugoslavs as President Wilson appears to belieev it to be. but. at any rate. if they have Undertaken to formulate a plan it is because the government of the United States was no longer taking part in their deliberations and because the problem of the Adriatic cannot remain indefinitely in its present state.
 If President Wilson is irrevocably determined to reject the proposal of Jan. 20. Great Britain and France can not insist on it's adoption. But they have signed the treat vat London and they profess to hold for treaties re- spect that President Wilson evidently does not disanprove. They could moi prevent Italy from executing the stip- ulations to which they have sub scribed- So the debate is open, and the rights of everyone remain intact.

London, Feb. 16.-The allied reply to the German note of Jan. 25, proposing as an alternative to extradition that persons accused by the allies be tried at Leipsic states that Germany's pro- posal for such trial at Leipsic is com patible witn article 22S of the peace treaty. The allies, the note says. will abstain from intervention in the pro- cedure of that court.
 After stating that the allies have carefully considered the German note of Jan. 25. the reply says:
 '"The powers observe, in the first place that Germany declares herself unable to carry out the obligations imposed On her by articles 22S to 290 which she signed. They reserve to themselves the power to employ in such measure or fc- m as they may judge suitable the rights accorded to them in this event by the treaty.
 The allies note, however, the Ger man governments declaration that they are prepared to open before the court at Leipsic penal proceedings without delay, surrounded by the most complete guarantees and not affected by the application of all judgments, procedure or previous decisions of German civil or military tribunals be- fore the supreme court at Leipsic against all Germans whose extradition the allied and associated powers have the intention to demand.
 The prosecution which the German government itself proposes immedi- ately to institute in this manner is compatible with article 22S of the heace treaty and is expressly provided for at :he end of its first paragraph. "Faithfui to the letter and spirit of

VIGOROUS DEBATE IN
 SENATE ON TREATY

Washington, Feb. 15.[Laying aside its legislative business, the senate by unanimous consent took up the treaty of Versailles again today and re- sumed in all it's vigor the ratification debate interrupted last November.
 The opening gun in the new phase of the fight was fired by the treaty s irreconcilable foes, Senators McCor- mick, republican, Illinois, reopening the discussion with a speech bitterly assailing many provisions of the doc ument and counselling the republican leaders not to consent to further compromise.
 He was followed by Senator Me- Cumber, republican, North Dakota, a leader among the treaty's republican friends. who hayed the heads of boz parties for their failure to compro- mise and declared that "child's play obstlnacy" alone stood in the way of ratification.
 Drawn into the debate by the charges of the North Dakota senator, Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. the democratic leader, asserted that the democrats already had abandoned" " their previous stand and had offered compromise, but that the republicans were demanding nothing short of complete democratic surrender,
 Once it got under way, the debate speedily revived the whole scale of issues which the senate had debated from May to November of last year The subject technically under con- s1deration, motion by Senator i Lodge of Massachusetts, to modify the republican reservation on with drawal, was not mentioned until late in the day when MT. Lodge took the floor to explain briefly his reasons fol moving for the change.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CAUSES
 A HEAVY SLUMP IN EXPORTS

New York, Feb. Is. = material slump in exports has resulted from the foreign exchange situation with accompanying restrictions as to fi- nancing commercial bills of lading, according to statements made today by steamship men and marine insurance brokers. Steamships, which previous ly were departing with full cargoes, have been compelled to clear with empty space under their decks and additional contracts for cargo for out ward bound vessels have been can celled in a number of instances, the steamship men added.
 Official details as to the volume of exports for the latter half of Janu- ary and first weeks of February are as yet unavailable customs officials asserted, but insurance brokers told of falling off in the demand for marine insurance on outgoing mer- chandise. Reports received by of feials of steamship organizations al- so show decline in exports. Exchange conditions were not held entirely responsible for the slump and it was pointed out that many thous- ands of tons of cargo intended for ex- port has been delayed by the bad weather conditions of the past few weeks.
 While bonded and free warehouses are reasonably filled, warehouse men said with merchandise for export, the stocks on hand are mainly those pass l ing through the United States from 1 one foreign country to another and il was added that there is still space available. In several instances can cellation of cargo space has come from western manufacturing and packing concerns for goods yet un- shipped.

RADICALS PLANNED CONTROL
 OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY

New York, Feb. 16.-Through an 'interlocking directorate, including not more than 500 persons, the radi- cal organizations of the country are attempting to gain control of Ameri- can industry and destroy the present system of government, John W. Sul- livan. former member of the War La bor Board, declared here today in an address before conference of the Ma tipnal Civic Federation. The meeting, which was presided over by Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, was held for the purpose of considering methods of combating revolutionary activities and the upholding of American ideals.
 For the first time the forces which seek the destruction of the present basis of our national life have achiev- ed something like unity of purpose, ? MT. Sullivan said. They have cement ed this with an exchange of personnel among their various organizations There is not today so far as can be learned, a single conspiracy against American which is not in touch with all other conspiracies."
 Investigation of 125 persons, MT Sullivan explained. has shown that they held memberships in 65 organiza- tions, or an average of two each. One man held IT memberships The or ganizations were divided into IS groups, he said, and it was shown that the leaders of any one greup could reach the others through t'con- tracts" ranging from hundreds into thousands in number.
