ENCYCLOPEDIA BELITTLES
 NEWTON D. BAKER

The friends of former Secretary of War Baker need not concern themselves about the way he has been treated in the supplementary edition of the Encyclopedia Brttanica. His war record is fairly well established and will not be hurt by statements made that reflect upon him as an American citizen and public official.
 The Encyclopedia Britannica is quoted as fol- lows
 After the outbreak of the World hs indorsed the admins stration's peace policy. supported the League to Enforce Peace. and urged that the national guard be tried fully before conscription be decided upon. After America. entered the hs recommended moderation toward conscientious objectors, forbade mon uniform to interfere with anti-transportation meetings
 The charge of pacfsm often brought against him and his generally secretary widely condemned throughout the United States as lacking energy foresight and ability and es- pecaly for his failure to prepare adequately in the months immediately preceding the American declaration of war
 General Pershing ought to know better than anybody else, former President Wilson includ- ed, what MT. Baker did to help win the World war. General Pershing describes the article in question as unfortunate, certainly unfair" and says of MT. Baker:
 It fell him. probably more than to other individual in America, excepting President Wilson. to contribute to- detract from. the force and ef fectiveness of American military contribution to the cause of the Allies. His support of the commander in chief of our forces in France complete. whole hearted and sunswerving. As to this last my testimony must be accepted a determining.
 It is true that Mr. Baker was criticised, and so was nearly everybody else who played an important part in the World war, but after we once got into the war whole-heartedly the achievements of the war and navy departments under the direction of Secretary Baker and Secretary Daniels were credit to the nation.

"The Southern and Alabama Great South ern roads gave the privilege of storage in transit on hay from south Alabama of their own motion" said Charles E. Jones, secretary of the Traffic bureau.

 This is not the only time the southern railroads have come to the help of shippers of their own free will and accord This is being done more and more, and shippers and the public appreciate each action along that line"

MooNsHINE PROFITS DECREASE

"Moonshning is not as profitable as it used to be-" stated John A. Wilson, local federal pro- hibition officer. "This can be attributed to the fact that the city, county and federal officers are constantly on the heels of the moonshiners, which creates lot of worry among the illicit distillers. Raids are being made day after day and stills are found and destroyed daily. Other clements that enter into the wiping out of these stills are tips that are received by the various city and county prohibition departments as to the whereabouts of the stills Not very long ago bootlegger, prominent in his community, told me candidly that within the past two years the $20,o00 which he had made in illicit dis tilling, was lost in paying fines and cost of trials and putting up new stills. The once poor little rich bootlegger is now the poor lit tie bootlegger.'"
