EXCHANGE CLUB TO
RAISE $4,000 FOR
NEW BOYS SCHOOL
Ragland Institution for Train
ing In Trades to Be Ready
This Fall - Practical
Things Taught

The Exchange club of Birmingham
will undertake the campaign to raise
$4,000 in the state of Alabama to
match a conditional appropriation of
the same amount from the state for
the Alabama School Of Trades and In
dustries at Ragland.
This action was taken by tho unani
mous vote of the members at the
weekly luncheon yesterday at o'clock
at the Southern club. In presenting
the matter to the members, Leon C.
Bradley stated that the board of con-
troll had unanimously Endorsed the
proposition and had fovorably recon-
mended it to the club for action.
SCHOOL NEEDED
The merit of such a school and it's
need in Alabama, we're pointed out by
Mr.. Bradley who said the state now
owned a site of loo acres, had made an
annual appropriation for its mainten-
ance and that a conditional appropria-
ton of $50, 900 had been made. He said
II was reasonable to suppose the state,
which had established the school and
which had given 1t some money, would
be more liberal when the advantages
of such an institution were shown from
its operation.
Assurances were also given that part
of the federal government appropria-
tions for vocational education would be
available for the school as soon as it
was started The plan proposed to the
board of trustees, of which Senator
Watt T. Brown is chairman, called for
the raising of $4,000 in the state to
match this conditional appropriations
made by the state so the first build
ing could be completed in time for the
fall opening.
HELP PROMISED
1t was stated by Mr.. Bradley that al
ready number of state organizations
had endorsed the proposition and had
pledged their members, to contribute
not less than ST. each.
1t was decided to bring the matter
pefore the state conference of Exchange
clubs at the meeting to be held here
next Wednesday at which time the
state organization will be formed and
charters Will be presented to the clubs
py the national president, Horatio S.
Earle.

Mrs. McNally was alone in the house
when the negroes entered through a
rear door, and when she saw them
she screamed and attempted to escape.
One caught her and choked her until
she was unconscious. Then they pro-
ceeded to ransack the house.
The news spread rapidly, and before
officers at the sheriffs office here
could get to the scene, large numbers
of people had already collected and
were searching the woods for several
miles around in an effort to catch
the negroes before they could escape.
AS soon as the sheriffs office re-
ceived the call deputies were rushed
to the scene by Sheriff Hartsfield.
At a late hour last night it was said
that dogs had been placed upon the
trail of the negroes.

By the Associated Press).-Six thou

nine-day siege Of Kronstadt, follow
ing the seizure of the fortress by
Mutineers last March, the correspon-
dent was informed towady by Boil
shevist sailors. Mutinee4s who es-
capped had previously placed the
losses at a much higher figure. Six
ty thousand troops were engaged on
both sides.
Although the correspondent was
the first American newspaper man
permitted to visit Russia's Baltic
fleet base and island fortress since
the instruction, the sailors were ap-
partly far more interested in dis
GUESSING football than war, Lotus
Apparah, one of them, merrily de-
scribed how their team had defeated
at soccer the crew of British mer-
chant ship which recently unloaded
in the port. After the vessel had
left port, he said, it wirelessed an
other British ship on the way to
Kronstadt to avenge it, but the Rus
slams defeated the second crew by
an even greater score than the first.
The sailors are now hoping that
some American food ships will I'm

by the sailors at their club, which
was formerly used a a clubroom

University of Georgia discussed plans
for an extensive drive for the next
few days that should achieve the
Fulton quota by Armistice day, the
date set for the completion of the
fund, of which $S23,000 now has
been raised.
b While Fulton county has raised
more than any other county in Geor.
gia, it still is short of the quota,
which naturally was the largeSt\in
the state. Putting Atlanta and Full.

will assure the entire fund by Friday
night, it was said.
Three counties were announced as
having raised their quotas-Clarke

PERSH|NG PREDICTS
SUCCESSFUL FARLEY

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-General
John j. Pershing sees complete
success in the impending Wash
ington conference on limitation of
armament.
The chief of staff and general of
the armies of the United States so
expressed himself today in an inter
view on the eve of the assembling
Of the conference.
In his first interview on arms linn
itation General Pershing says the
conference will be one Of the most
important ever held. The prospects
are excellent, for cutting down the
chances Of war;
He keenly realizes the burdens and
sufferings Of the peoples of the
world in modern ornaments and
war.
Leader Of the American eXpedi-
tionary forces in France during the
most terrible war of history, and
this country's greatest authority on
modern warefare, General Pershing,
in giving his opinions on the con-
ference, is making an important con-
tribution to a proper understanding
of this epochal event.
General Pershing's opinions are
valuable for another reason. He Is
just back in his office in the war
department after a trip to France
and England where he decorated the
graves of the unknown French and
British soldiers with the congress
sional medal If honor, and has just
returned from Kansas City, where
he attended the American Legion
convention.
So he has had an opportunity to
judge the temper of the people of
Europe and America toward the
conference.
After the interviwer had asked
him for his opinions on the confer
ence and about the sentiment he
found toward it on his trip, Perish
ing prepared an answer in writ
ten statement, typically condensed
brusque and to the point, as he was
wont to do with orders on the west
ern front.
Pershing's Statement
His statement, initiated u. j. T.
follows:
1.-THE coming conference on liml-
tation OF armament will be one or
the most important ever held. l
believe that the prospects are excel
lent for better understanding among
the leading nations that will mate
rally reduce the chances OF war.
The tremendous cost Of perpetual
preparation for war is serious bur-
den from which people are anxious
to be relieved as far as possible, 10
say nothing Of relief from the surfer
ing that modern war brings.
"The impression that received
abroad and on my trip west regard
ing the outcome Of the conference IS
most favorable, and personally
can see no reason why it should not
be a complete success.
General Pershing is Leading
member of President Hardlng's ad-
visory committee on the conference
on limitation Of rmament. AS a
member of this committee and as
chief of staff Of the United States
army, his opinions will be sought
and will have great weight in the
shaping by this government OF its
course in the conference.
