 ALABAMA IS WELL
 UNDER WAY NOW

Montgomery, April tSpeciaL)- Alabama has accepted her responsi- bility to train her citizens who are handicapped as a result of physical dis abilities and the actual work is under way, as shown by facts and figures given out by pr. John w. Abercrom- bic. state superintendent of education.
 The work of industrial rehabilitation is provided for by congressional 'act known as the mith-Bankhead law, or which Congressman Will Bankhead IS joint author. The act was accepted by the state legislature last fall the fed eral funds appropriated being matched dollar for dollar by the state, and the actual work in Alabama was inauEu- ratde by the state board of education through the division Of vocational edu- cation on January IT, 1921, when Hugh G. Grant was appointed state super visor of the work.
 At the close of business on April 3, 1921, a little more than two and one half months after the Inauguration of the work, the cases of 90 disabled per sons have been personally surveyed by the state supervisor. and 12 handi- capped persons have been placed in training.
 The status of the other cases in which surveys have been made are as follows: One person is too i'll to take training, one is already rehabilitated and does not need assistance; four have de- ferred training until next summer; one is suitably employed; three are await ing the finding of satisfactory train ing facilities; one has deferred train ing until next fall, and six are ready

FRENCH HOLD LATEST GERMAN MOVE IS ONLY
 ATTEMPT AT EVASION
By Associated Press

Paris, April 17.-Cognizance is taken by the Temps in it's leading editorial today of reports that new reparation offer by Germany is being transmitted to the United States through the vati- can, a move which it characterizes as an attempted diversion by Germany to escape payment to the extent of her abilities.
 There is much ado in Berlin con- corning the offers of reparation which the Herman government is reported to have transmitted to the United States government" says the Temps, i've can only see in such a move another at tempt at diversion. If Germany were prepared sincerely 10 recognize her re- sponsibility and resolved to the full limit of her resources as she was in- vited to do by the United States, she would not adopt such circuitous meth ods and try set America against the European allies.
 Were Germany sincere she would not attempt to evade the fixing of the amount of her debts by opening a de- bate upon an international loan and upon the amounts owed the United States by the allies.
 By the way" continues the news paper, who Is governing now in Ber- lin? Careful observers doubt if pr. Simons Cthe foreign minister) is master of the situation It is declared" adds the Temps, that the German proposi- tions have been transmitted to the United States by the Vatican We do not know whether this statement will bring forth denial from Rome" says the newspaper, but it declares it would not be surprised to learn that the Vat ican in fact was taking such action.

 Dies of Pneumonia
By Associated Press

New York, April 17.-"John Danier' the only gorilla in captivity in the United States died today of pneumona in his private room at Madison Square Garden where he was appearing with a circus.
 Physicians and medical men did all within their power to save the animal s life, giving him hot drinks, applying hot cloths and administering quinine, but to no avail. peculiarity of the clim- ate in America is said to prohibit goril- las from living here for any length of time. One of the animals died recently at the Bronx Park zoo, of the same malady.
 The body will be presented to the American museum of natural history.

WRANGEL OPPOSED TO
 REPATRIATION OF MEN
Rr Associated Press

Paris, April T.-General Wrangel, for mer head of the South Russian govern ment in the Crimea, has established q. so-called Russian government at Con- stantinople, according to a semi-official French announcement today, to main tain his Crimean troops as an army, opposing in every way the efforts of the French military authorities to repatriate the refugees send them to Brazil or elsewhere so they might earn their own living
 Formal announcement has been made that the French recognition of the gov ernment of South Russia as a defacto government ceased when General Wran- gel was forced out of the Crimea. The relief afforded these refugees is declared to have cost France more than 200 100000 francs during the past five months and that she has received as security the generals ships and some merchandise. the whole worth hardly one-fourth of that amount.

for training and awaiting the raising of maintenance. Only one person or those surveyed has definitely refused training.
 The majority of the cases referred to ahove were reported by co-operatinS agencies and located by the supervisor, who oftentimes in making contact with one case which has been report ed, found several other cases of dis abled persons in the same community For example, in Barbour county, the supervisor made a trip to see one dis able boy whose name had been eport- ed by a rural school principal. He returned to the office with the surveys on six cases of persons all residing in Barbour county. Incidentally, every one of these persons had serious handicap, and is entitled to training. Three have accepted the training of fer, and will be placed as soon as maintenance has been provided.
 The names and addresses of a num- Der of other disabled persons were reported by Mrs. Marie Bankhead Owen, who as state workmen's com pensation commissioner, is co-oper- ating with the state board in the mat ter of contacts with persons disabled in industry in Alabama. Under a plan drawn, Mrs. owen will submit to the state board the names of all persons who have incurred serious disabilities in the industrial plants and shops throughout the state.
 It is probable that at least half of the persons whose cases are listeA above in addition to several others in which partial survey has been made will be placed in training during the present month if present plans of the supervisor carry, according to state- ment

NO PROSPECT OF
 U. S.-RUSS TRADE,
 DECLARES HUGHES
CContinued from Page One.)

in the United States. Europe and Asia. It is estimated that perhaps $6,500, 000,- 600 worth of orders have been booked But shipments as a result of these or ders have been made only in small vol ume because the soviet agents were unable either to pay cash or to obtain credit so as to insure the delivery of the goods ordered"
 In reality, Secretary Hughes says, transfers of Russian gold to other coun- tries have been small, and at the most liberal estimates the soviets have more than s175,000,000 of gold in their pos session. Even the immediate expendi- ture of the whole amount in the United States, he points out. would have no pronounced or lasting effect on Ameri can trade or industry and it might take away the scant hope that is left of sound reorganization of the Rus sian system of currency and finance"
 There have been since December IS, 1920. Secretary Hughes informs MT. Gompers, no restrictions on financial transactions between the United States and Russia although there is no assur- ance that the mint or the reserve, banks will accept Russian gold. as public in- stitutions must be assured that title is not open to question.
 FACTS REFUTE CLAIMS
 The facts" in regard to supplies in Russia available for export, MT. Hughes wrote, completely refute" statements that if Che United States recognized the soviets. Russia immediately would ex- port large quantities of lumber flax, hemp, fur and other commodities. "The facts" he says, show that Russia does not have on hand for export, commodi- ties which might be made the basis of immediate profitable trade with the United States, and he adds that the Russian transportation system is so de- moralized that it could not move them if they existed. MT. Hughes quotes an official organ of the soviet govern ment to show that lumber production in 1920 was one-fifth of the pre-war level, although the industry was in bet ter circumstances than others. A table shows the output of eight principal ex- porting commodities at from 12 to 5S per cent of what was expected
 Furthermore, Secretary Hughes points out before the war American trade with Russia in both directions consti- tnted only l 3-10 per cent of all the for eign trade of the United States. being in the year ending July 30, 1913, at a total of S55,000.000 for both exports and imports, while for the calendar year 1920 it was s13,o00,0oo, and practically all of that was with territories free of soviet domination.
 Tt is unquestionably desirable. wrote MT. Hughes to Mir. Gompers, that intimate and, mutually profitable com mercial relations on an extensive scale be established between the United States and Russia, and it is the sincere hope of this government that there may be establishments in Russia which will make it possible for that country to resume it's proper place in the economic life of the world"

 IS DULY ELECTED
 CUBAN PRESIDENT
By Associated Press

Havana, April 17.-Dr, Alfredo Zayas, conservative populist coalition party candidate, was elected President of Cuba in the November election and in the judgment of the United States govern ment nothing should be done to prevent Congress from proclaiming him Pres. ident.

Thrift Is Education
Arthur H. Chamberlain in The Thrift Magazine.

Magazine.
 TO preach thrift is simple thing indeed. To practice it, is another matter. All thinking people seem ready to admit the need for concrete programme of thrift education. They agree that the school should offer work showing the application of the thrift principles to our everyday life. There is waste and extravagance everywhere. Even in greater degree than before the war. men and women are paying exorbitant prices for things they do not need or could well get along without. Luxuries are consid- cred necessities by those who cannot afford them. There is buying on cred it, squandering of time. dissipation of strength and energy, indulging in practices detrimental to health and happiness. Most of all these wasteful and harmful tendencies are constantly before the boys and girls. Natural it is that the less mature and impress sonable mind should all too easily form those habits of waste and care- lessness and extravaganza which have a tendency to cling through life.
 Today the cry of the school is back to the fundamentals" It is felt, and with some justice, that reading, writing and arithmetic must be re- stored to their original position of importance. During the war there were many lines of service and activ- ity carried on by the schools. These had tendency to crowd out the reg ulari subjects. There can be no uues- ton as to the value of these funda- mental studies. It is not so clearly understood however, that so-called
 new" subject may be just as funda- mental and as necessary as are some of the well-established subjects. In this connection. there is probably n. subject that calls today for a clearer understanding and practice on ,he part of our people generally han that of thrift.
