I confess that I had heard SO many proposals about the college that l just used to give a patient hearing and set it all down as a pipe dream" But what would the world be without it's dreamers? But in spite of its fascina- tion, dream stuff does not build buildings and therefore if one makes his castles in Spain a reality. it is nec- essary to show the man from Missouri why it is good thing for him to put time and his money into the enterprise Now, this has been the mission of Dr. Williams. He has convinced the friends of Howard that it has a future and that now is the tint to cash in on it's prospects.
 The college may or may not be moved, but one thing is certain. it is getting talked about more than at any time since there were those who favored or objected to it's removal to East Lake from Marion am not going to open that old sore which took such long time in healing It has been charged. and it is true, that up to date Howard has not made a very large dent in the thought of Birmingham. But now is the precise psychological time for the awakening of the city to it's value No one can measure it's potential worth in the uplift and the building of com munity spirit.

GERMANS OPPOSE
AN ENTENTE BANK
Proposal to Work With Ques-
trated Property as Cap
ital Denounced.
BY RAYMOND SWING.

Special Cable TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1890, by THE New YosR HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin, Dec. 4.
German bankers and financial au-
thorities decline to take seriously the
plan reported in dispatches from the
United States for an Entente bank con-
trolling German currency and working
with seuuestered German property In
America as capital. Director Urbig of
the Disconto Bank said that the plan
represented a familiar American wish to
use German property there as the basis
for the sale Of American raw materials
to Germany at the highest possible
price, and was utterly out of the ques-
ton The view of the Finance Ministry
also is averse to II on the ground that
it would mean the resignation of Ger
many's financial sovereignty and In
volve the loading of the Treasury here
with the naturalization of the German
owners of the property seized by the
United States They could be paid only
by printing more bank notes. and 1t was
argued that the benefits which would
accrue would be cancelled In part, even
before the bank could be founded.
"If we took up the plan the State
would either have to make a contract
with each property owner authorizing
the use of his property In that way, or
have It done through general law.
Herr Urbig said. II am convinced
that both procedures would arouse the
strongest kind Of opposition. Some in
dividuals would refuse to make con-
tract, and the law would be imprac-
ticable in the face of the common oppo-
sition."

ARGENTINA MAY LEAVE
LEAGUE IN TWO YEARS
Withdrawal Definite Unless
Proposals Are Adopted.

GENEVA. Dec 7-Honorio Pueyrredon,
head of the Argentine delegation. to-
night informed the Associated Press
that Argentina's withdrawal from the
assembly would probably be followed
shortly by a formal declaration of its
intention to leave the league.
1.-THE only condition under which Ar
gentina will resume her place is the
adoption of her four proposals in sub
stance" said Senior Pueyrredon. "Argen-
tina's notification of her desire to quit
the league entirely may be construed as
dating from the day we left the assem-
bly,, and unless the assembly act favor
ably on my amendments. Argentina will
declare herself out OF the league at the
expiration Of two years. as provided in
the covenant.

Yesterdays discussion of the report by

the Assembly OF the League of Nations
again emphasized the vagueness and
confusion which exists in the covenant.
The British delegates are the only ones
who take a visible interest In the dis
cussion, other delegations remaining in

duced Of the amazing character of the
instrument, due to its loose wording.
The committee. having admittedly
failed to understand what was in the
minds of the covenanters when they
framed Articles III. and ~. decided
merely to draw up some general prin-
cples as working basis "for the time
being" Back of this Is the belief, of
course, that the whole instrument must
be changed or abandoned.
The confusion arises largely because

OF confidence among investors.
This latter development was evil
denced by the issuance Of new capital
offerings approximating 10000, 900,
which were readily absorbed but other
credits and loans, including several for
eign negotiations, remained in abey-
ance.
Trading in stocks was again fairly
extensive and the further retrogression
in trade and industry, as reported from
virtually all sections OF the country,
effected additional depreciation OF quot
ed values
Publication Of the terms Of the much

pany to take over its oil properties,

speculative quarters, Southern Pacific
shares being among the few high grade

The money market was relatively
easy. but hopes of pronounced relaxa-
tlon before the end OF the year were
dissipated by the announcement of the
treasury department, calling to the
government large requirements in the
immediate future.
Foreign exchange again denoted the

conditions and the low record liability
reserves reported by the Bank of Eng
