In this general mobilization of a nations hens those pertaining to certain in- stitutions such as the hospital which the American Red Cross maintains at ConStanZa for the care and treatment of 15O tubercular children are eX- empted and will continue to perform their barnyard duties for these places In compensation for the work eX- pected of the hens Austria by the terms of the treaty agrees to repair 500 locomotives, which will go far toward re-establishing railway ser vice in this country.

AMERICANS GET

 London, Nov. 20-"American com panies are jubi1ant at, the steel orders they have just taken in England"
 This was the statement made. by A. J. Hobson, president of the British Associated Chambers of Commerce at a meeting of the British Commer- cial Gas Association held recently in Sheffield. @@ --.~-.e~- :,
 MT. Hobson has just returned from Am erica and he took the opportunity of the association meeting to warn his fellow countrymen of the menace of American competition.
 ''The American manufacturers are breaking into quite new trades in this country" added Hobson. For the frs. time they have taken large English pits. This has been brought about by the action of the miners in demanding d price for coal which made it impossible to make these ropes in England.
 Not only was the gas industry be- ing lifted to an abnormal level of price for the same reason, but Sc were other British industries and the jesuit was going to be very deetri- mental to the commerce of the na- tion." continued the speaker.
 Up to now the price of coal has not much mattered to the steel in- dustry because, owing to the famine of supplies throughout the world the price has been passed on as part of the price of S. eel" declared Hobson. That has ceased to be the case and the great steel industry of England will have a desperately bad time before it if the result Of the strike does not bring about some modifica- ton in the prize of coal"
 Disquieting news for British nlanu- lecturers is coming in from other centres Of the steel industry. It is reported from Morriston that large number of S eel workers there have 5e2.Ged to sail for Canada, where the B&.t>wins are erecting a large steel plant.
 Many works have closed down in Swansea and at the same time roc Swansea docks from Ghent consks,ae q to local works at Morriston and Cor ieinon. This Is the first Belgian pig iron to arrive in this section and the | consignment Is said to be very gas nificant.
 Steel works at Weardale. which have large government contracts, are | continuing until half the present i stock of coal Is exhausted. They will | then close down, failing further sup. plies, and the remainder of thee oal will be distributed among the ep1- Dloves.

 Mexico City, Nov. 2O-The Ameri can flag flies over a piece. of land al is the property of the United States and is described by some, as 'tAmeri- can Territory" In other days, before the Mexicans learned that they could beard Uncle Sam with impunity, the ground was held sacred. Mexican po- licemen would not even pursue rogues within the enclosure when they fled there for sanctuary.
 What they would do now would probably be a very different story.
 The piece ofg round is the old American cemetery. It was deeded to the United States by President Juarez, Mexico's firmest friend of America, about 60 years ago. At first it was theb trying ground to which all Americans who died here were taken. Now it is a military cemetery in which areb uried the soldiers who fell in Mexico in the war of 1847 and Americans who followed the flag in other wars. Only soldiers may be buried there now.
 About 20 years ago it was found that the numerous cemeteries in Mex ico City were source of danger to the public health Every church and there are many churches in the crowded sections - had its burial ground, and passers in the busy streets could frequently see burials, even in thee ongested sections of the city It was decided to put end to burials within the city limits and establish cemeteries further out in the country A new American cemetery was laid out along with the other new cemeteries, but the old cemetery was left as it is
 It was proposed that the graves be moved to the new cemetery and that the grounds, which are beautiful, with many majestic trees, be used as the site of a building for the American Embassy This idea did not meet with favor at Washington and the. subject has been dropped for nearly 20 years.
 The old British cemetery adjoins the old American cemetery. It has been left untouched. This, it is said, is because the American goVernme ent would not move thep odies resting in the park owned by the United States. The British would not move if the Americans would not ':,, Monument to Dead.
 The most interesting thing in the old American cemetery is the monu- ment to the American soldiers who fell in the fighting during the advance through the Valley of Mexico, preced- ing teh capture by the United States

Grand Jury Denounces
Dry League Fund Drive

MACON, Jan. 26.-In present
ments made here the Bib county
grand jury denounced the Anti-Sa-
loon League campaign to raise $780,
900 in this county to be used in the
prohibition campaign of the league.
after conviction has been secur-
ed in cases for violation of the prohi-
bition laws,s reads the presentments,
1--WE believe the punishment should
be made to fit the crime, due consid-
Grafton being given to the fact that
the sale of contraband whisky is re-
sponsible for such crime that other
wise would not be committed.
eve believe the rigid enforcement
of the prohibition laws will conserve
the best interests of the nation, and
therefore, we will call upon our PEG
/ pie to cooperate with the authorities
/ toward the suppression of the manu-.
/ facture and sale of spirituous liquors
"We desire, however, to make
known that we are not in sympathy
with the proposed movement to raise
large sums of money in this county
by popular subscription to assist il
enforcing the prohibition laws. II
our opinion, the power that created
this law has the power to enforce it
with the moral support of our goot
citizens"

BRYAN KEEPS UP
RAP AT CUMMINGS
In Highly Belligerent
Mood In Address At
Atlanta

ATLANTA, Jan. 26.-The speak
ing under the auspices of the Anti
Saloon League, William Jennings
Bryan delivered an address before
5000 in the City Auditorium Sunday
afternoon in which he reiterated his
position in favor of the ratification
Of the league of nations with reser-
vations; declared against making the
league of nations an issue in the COM
ing national campaign, vigorously
renewed his attack upon Governor
Edwards, of New Jersey, whom he
characterized as the champion of out
lawed interests, and again took Sc
verely to task Chairman Cummings,
of the national Democratic executive
committee, whom he declared had no
right to drag the robes of the Demo
cratic party in the mire by affiliation
in an official capacity with cham
pions of the liquor traffic.
Mr.. Bryan was in a highly bellig
erent mood, and his utterances were
at times appl@lded by the crowd that
had gathered despite the cold wind
and rain.
With reference to the League of
Nations, Mr.. Bryan stated that this
matter has been so much upon his
heart that he had made more, speeches
than anyone else for its adoption
without reservation or amendment.
He said, however, that rather than
have the matter go into the campaign
with delay of Ia months before it
could be settled, and with the GER
tainty that neither party would then
have a sufficient senatorial majority
to change the status of the question,
he believed the senators should get
together and effect an immediate
compromise by which the League of
Nations could be accepted.
He said that the treaty brought
back by President Wilson was bet
ter than could have been secured by
most men, and that Mr.. Wilson's
fight had been the "bravest any
American had ever been called upon
to make before the world"
"Those in charge of the senate"
said he, Cannot furnish any excuse
for the delay in ratifying the peace
treaty. They have frittered away
time in endless debate until all 9TH
err nations have ratified the treaty,
and it is a shame on the senate that
they have deprived Mr.. Wilson of the
honor OF. being the first president of
the League of Nations"
