of the Magic City. Mobiles confidence in the wisdom of the effort to develop Alabama's industries. and q considera- ble share of Mobiles capital, helped in that great enterprise. There has never been any feeling of jealousy that the newer city has surpassed the older in population and extent of business. The conditions made this progress inevita- ble; and every true Alabamian's heart rejoices over the greatness of Birming- ham. many believing that she is de- stined to become the largest and most important city in the south. Mobile and Birmingham--each is the stronger be- cause of the other, and both together are Alabama assets of high value. A friendly co-operatipn will be fostered and Alabama and the south advantaged. The new decade should see a wonderful development now that the liaison by water is complete and methods have been adopted that encourage lnter-com- munication by means of our rivers.

From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
 N FEW days ago we were told that A President Wilson had forward e . ed his decision upon the final boundaries of Armenia to the League of Nations council At the same time he took up the subject of Armenian me- diation, with an eye to tho restoration ness was fairly clear. The, great pow CTS had first given Armenia a rough delimitation. Then they had asked MT. Wilson to run the exact boundaries. Then, because of certain distur bances, they asked his mediation. presumably with the intent that the Armenian state should emerge as . stable crea- ton, based on the original plans, on population statist'>s, on the require- ments of the French, British and Italian boundaries. We understood that Ar- menia was to be large country, cov- ering something between 7o.000 and 2zo, 900 square miles; we realized that there would be some hitches in her or- ganisation, and that we might have to wait little before welcoming her. But. in spite of certain rumors which sug- gested that there might be another side to the question. no real inconsistency in this apparently logical development of a new country was obvious.
 We are now suddenly confronted with the fact that something Is not as it seemed. Armenia, whose boundaries were supposed to include territory at the very least third IS large as France taken mostly from Turkey has

While it's true that trolley manners

Morgenthau Is Chosen
 to Represent Wilson

II HENRY MORGENTHAU is an U U ideal choice for President Wilson's representative in mediating between the Armenians and the Turk ish nationalists. When MT. Wilson agreed to act as mediator, he was thought to be the man best fitted for this work.
 The task which confronts Mir. Nor genthau demands an intimate knowl- edge of conditions in the near east and an understanding of the people. These qualities he possesses. During his diplomatic service in Turkey, he not only became popular official who did much to promote friendship be- tween Turkey and the United States, but he gained 8 wide knowledge of affairs in the Turkish empire. He is recognized as an authority on all questions relating to the near east.
 President Wilson's efforts to end the shocking state of affairs in Armenia constitute the highest form of idealism. All Americans, as we'll as . great part of the world, will wish him and his representative speedy success.

THE ARMENIAN QUESTION

miraculously shrunk till it covers only single island and isolated adminis- trative district of Russian Transcau- casia, half of it a lake at that. While the President of Armenia is at Geneva beseeching admission to the league and calling for further land grants, his country has gone bolshevist and has limited herself to almost nothing. The wars in which Mr. Wilson is going to mediate have come abruptly to an end; peace reigns, and settlement has been definitely arrived at which not only sets everything that the powers had planned for Armenia at naught, but ignores ev- cry promise on which the very existence of an Armenian question at all is sup posed to rest.
 Clearly, this is another side to the question. But where is the relation be- tween the two sides? Are we to believe that the Armenians in Erivans are a handful of unrepresentative bolshevists held precariously in place by Moscow! Or are the Armenians in Geneva an equally unrepresen tative handful of im- perialists, who have ceased to be held in place at all? Is the real Armenia the theoretical brick which the allies have molded for the cornerstone of their, near eastern empire-building, or is the real Armenia the area which emerges from the hammerings of Ke- nal and the bolshevists? Where is the common point? The problem is like double mirror-whichever side you look into, you see precious little but re- flections of your own particular back ground

its place proudly beside the libraries or
 law, medicine and theology.
 Get it out of your head that the farmer of today is a "hayseed," for any ambitious !t;ller of the soi. who wishes to keep up will nave as steut a course of reading As
 any professional man. Not only is this true, but great colleges arc being estab- lish~d where experts in every branch of agriculture with proper and expensive equipment are not only teaching. but
 carrying on the most careful experiment taticn. The colleges of law. letters. medi- cine and theology have nothing on" these sehco.s. There isn't a state in the union without such an institution. Just turn
 your eyes towards Auburn. Better still. go down there some day and perhaps it will at least make some of you city people legs anxious tc patronise country people.
 Sure the farmers, like the balance of
 us. have been on a spending spree. and face the readjustment to normalcy with a degree of alarm. Some say it's merely a psychological situation. but those who talk this way have not been up and down the state as I have been in the last
 few months; but while there is basis for retrerchment. there is no sense in the farmers getting rattled and rushing into town in the hope of bettering their fu- ture. believe that those who stick by
 their farms. and do not lose their heads or get discouraged, and sacrifice their stuff will win out in the end.
 Tho city man is fast ie1ning that he is in the same boat with the farmer, and therefore has quit rocking 1t to scare his country brother into selling his stuff below the cost of production. I know some pirates are still on the high seas. hut they are gradually being made to walk the plank by the chartered captains |! of commerce, as farmer, merchant. naaa- l ufccturer and banker realize that all must have a say in selecting the pilot to save the ship. I look for squalls, but with careful sailing a safe harbor can be reached.
