THE DIFFERENCE

Advocates of the League of Ma
tiohs profess to see no difference be-
tween the league and an association
of nations for the purpose OF pro-
noting peace and disarmament.
Stupid they are, indeed. By the
provisions of the League covenant,
the United States would bind itself
to act in accordance with the DEGREES
of a League council or assembly not
only in the matter Of war and arm
ament, but in all other matters which
could be interpreted as threatening
war. That was the effect of the
covenant, taken as a whole. 1t was
the creation of a superstate from
which a nation could not withdraw
except upon two years notice and
then only on condition that its obi
cations had been fulfilled up to the
time of withdrawal. For all practi-
cal purposes, the United States, if
member, would be compelled to &C
cept the decisions of the League or
be branded as a repudiator of agree
ments.
An association of nations would be
formed for the one purpose of agree
ing upon a plan of disarmament, no
nation or group of nations would
have any power to coerce any other
nation, and the United States would
be absolutely free forever after to
act in each particular case according
to its own judgment and conscience.
The League covenant proposed to
bind the United States to go to war
at the command of the League. After
participating in an association of ma
tions, the United States would still
be free to go to war or not go to war
according to it's own judgment of the
right and wrong Of the controversy.
The United States has been an
associate of other nations in the past.
1t was an associate in the war in
Europe--not one of the Allies. The
United States was an associate of
other nations in activities in China |
during the Boxer Rebellion. The |
United States has been an associate
of other nations in forming the Hague
and tribunal. But in
these associations, this country has
never forfeited or impaired it's full
right to act in it's own defense, nor
bound itself to act upon the COM
mands of other nations further than
it's own judgment dictates.
The difference between the league
and an association of nations is all
the difference between subservience
and independence.
The country is mighty tired of

NEW SHIENA SALESMAN
MAKES HIT IN BOSTON

a nine foot cigar, fac-simile of the
original in every way, is attracting
much attention in Boston as it goes
up and down the main thoroughfares
smoking necessarily.
The cigar is mounted on top
standard Dodge Brothers car In the
interior OF the car is concealed an
arrangement for producing the
smoke, or vapor, which filters out
slowly through perforations in the
ashes. The effect is very realistic.
The advertising value Of the device
Is increased by the mystery of the
steady flow of smoke, as there are
apparently no pipes, hose or other
connections between the cigar and
the body of the car, except the flat
iron braces, which are painted to be
hardly recognizable.
The first OF these cars was sold TO
Allies C Fisher, cigar manufacturers,
by the Henshaw Motor Co, Dodge

many other sales as the car on which
he mounts the cigar has always been
a favorite with tobacco manufacture
ers and dealers.
Statesmen who drive the car say it
never fails to make an impression
on the retailer, and therefore assists
materially in making sales. This is
chiefly due to the fact that the re-
taller likes to buy from a manufac-
turer who advertises extensively and
this novelty is a good indication Of
unusual activity in that line.
The principle of the cigar is also
being applied TO other lines of bust
ness whose product is a smoke, steam
or vapor producing article.

Hudson, Prospectiue
 Baron, Is Expected
 10 Lead Lanier Nine
By THOMAS HALL

Montgomery, March 5-(Specal)-Si ney Lanier baseball candidates will com mence work March T. according to an- rouncement made tonight by Coach T. S. McCants The call for candidates was issued at school yesterday, and more than 40 candidates have enlisted and will start duty Monday at Gunter park
 A number of letter players have re- turned this year, and will start work to morrow. Coach McCants has a number of promising freshmen, and if a few live up to their reputation as players Lanier will have a better team this sea son than ever before. Infielders and outfielders are plentifuy, but the biggest worry to Coach McCants is the pitch ing problem Only two first-class men are in line for pitching role, but Coach McCants expects to get at least one first-class man out of the freshmen squad.
 Ben Hudson, who is under contract to play with the Birmingham Baron, will probably lead the I-anier nine this spring Hudson is a natural ball player and his hitting strength will add considerably to Lanier's offensive this spring. Hud- son states that this will be his last year at Lanier and certainly wants to close it with a winning team.
 Johnnie Kiminislly, Birmingham boy has started work ahead of the squad and is going to make someone hustle to hold their job. I<iminisky is trying for the short field position, and if he can live up to reports, he is sure Of a reg ular place.
 Lanier's schedule has not been com pleted, and Coach McCants is anxious to hear from other high school teams the state who desire to have Lanier on their schedule Games can be secured hv cNmrEunicating with Coach McCants

 College Champions

Montgomery March 5-(Special l. Woman's college basketball team claims the state basketball championship among college girls teams of the state The team recently closed their season $ schedule without having tasted defeat. and it was through this trick that Coach Earl Williams is claiming the states honor for basketball
 The Woman's college team this year was probably the best ever organized d. the college, the team outclassing their opponents in all Of the games. The play CTS displayed superior training, and played team work. there being no in dividual stars on the team.
 JuGson college fell victim to the loca! team on two occasions. The first defeat handed the Baptist girls, Il to g. and when the two met again at Judson. Woman's college led, 14 to 4.

SPORlS-- LEWIS MEETS POLAR HERE TUESDAY ---SPORTS
Local City Leagners
 to Begin 1921 Work
 by End of the Month

The old bee has started to buzzing ih the city baseball league circles. accord
 ing to President J. F. Harrison, leader
 of this organization Every day brings
 news and gossip from many of the old
 timers in the Magic City circuit and, al-
 though the first meeting will not be held
 until the latter part of this month. all
 of the teams have started lining up their
 available material so as to get a good
 start.
 A least six new clubs are expected to enter this season, making the organiza- tion of another division necessary. Quite number of semi-pro stars are now re- siding in Birmingham and it is the hope of the officials of the city league tha. one division of six clubs may be of this rating the other two sections os the loop being made up of strictly amateur teams. In the 1917 season, when this plan was projected. the Westfield, Ship builders fought it out with the Cincin- nati "Norwoods" for the National cham pionship. If this method is adopted, this division of the league will offer prac- tically as high a calibre of ball as some of the high-class minor leagues.
 The Boys club, which sponsors a jun for organization, which is under the same government as their larger bsotn- CTS, is making plans for a more ex- tensive season than ever and if all the ambitions of it's officials are realized Birmingham will become 8 regular mine for playing talent. The secret of the pre- dominance of St. Louis, over practically every other city in the country in the production of diamond stars is in the fact that the national sport is nu- tured and encouraged by the business men and prominent people of that city, says J. F. Harrison, city league pres ident.
 Birmingham has the chance to make herself the St. Louis of the south in this respect. says Harrison and if the pub lie will give the officials of the City league and other leagues associated with it the encouragement that they de- serve, this city will become known the country for it's work in the interest of the grand old game" Besides furnishing wholesome and health full sport, both for the participants and spectators of these games, this organiza- tion brings about more harmonious and friendly feeling between the. young men in the different sections of this city and should be supported for this purpose alone if for no. other, according to the proxy of the local city league

 Croll didn't seem able to hit lick or to field ball, that was during the spring training. On the other nand Silva fielded in sensational style, bat ted like a fiend and ran the bases in demonic style. I looked like Silva in center and Croll for the bushes.
 Well, the season opened and Silva lost every bit of his inclination to pound the pellet. By the time, he found t again he was reposing with Shreve-. port in the Texas league. Unlike some of the rip snorting cowpunchers of that country, he didn't fall asleep. He was very much awake, trying to find additional ways to burn that circuit up.
