 Records show that In 1915 the Ala bama legislature created a harbor commission, to have control and Jurisdiction over the port of Mobile. The commission functioned as best 1t could, but, being without funds, little progress was made. The commission in November, 1918, asked the Ala bama legislature to suggest a change in the constitution, permitting use of state credit to develop the port.

 Friends of the port, persistent in their battle for developments, were able to get another amendment sub mitted limiting, the appropriations to $10,000,0o0. On November 2, 1922, voters of Alabama gave a ma ajority of around S0,000 for the second amendment. The people were con vinced that they would be benefited and gave the landslide vote for the proposition.
 Trouble reappeared when 1t was suggested that the constitution was not properly amended in the last election.

Dr. Denny Points Out College Has More Students And
 Less Financial Resources

UNIVERSITY. Ala. Sept. 1S.--All attendance records in the history of tho university have been broken by the enrolment to dato at the Uni; versity of Alabama, according to an announcement made Saturday by President George H. Denny.
 The registration books show that there are already 1850 students at the Capstone. and this number is being rapidly swelled by the constant arrival on every train of 8 few new students. There Is an increase Of more than 500 students at the Uni versity over the attendance of last year, and 1t Is safely predicted that another 100 will be added to this number before classes got started in earnest this coming week.
 President Denny today issued the following statement regarding the record rd-break;ng registration at the university:
 Less Vocational Students.
 "The registration books show that there are already over 1850 students enrolled at the University of Ala bama as against a total of less than 1900 at the end of the first week one year ago. When it Is considered that there were 300 federal yocat- ional students included in the fig ures last year, while there are only 75 this year, 1t will be seen that there is an increase of over 500 regu- lar students, which Is entirely un- expected and unprecedented.
 "The situation Is such that thoughtful citizens will seriotsIy raise the question of the justice or delaying longer reasonably adequate financial relief. For several years the general education board mas given help. That help, however. IS no longer available. Thus, we ma
 ln e creased responsibilities on the one hand, and with reduced resources on the other I have no doubt that a similar situation exists at all Of our state colleges. when the peak of the registration has been reached. there will be at least 2,000 regular students, In addl- tion to the vocational students, or total of approximately 2,l0O. can not conceive that such situation will fail to make appeal to the pa triotism and sound common-sense or our people"
 Students Get Busy.
 Classes started Wednesday put hundreds of students delayed regis tering until Friday and Saturday ana 1t can be truthfully said that classes will not get under way in earnest until Monday. Student activities are beginning to pick up, Tom Gar ner posting a notice on the bulletin boards Friday that first practice for the glee club will be held Monday afternoon.
 The Crimson-white will issue the Hrst edition next Thursday and this edition Is being anticipated eagerly sy new and old students. Forest B: Merritt, editor-ln chief, isoued his call Ior those students who care to make he staff, and copy has already itarted coming in.

WOULD PUT DIPLOMATS
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
Or. James Brown Scott Gives

Secret Treaties.

A civil service status for the diplo-
matio Representatives Of the United
States and an equalization In the rank
Of diplomats Of all nations were advo-
Gated by. DR.. James Brown Scott. di.
rector OF the Carnegie Foundation
and. q former United States repre-
sentative at the Versailles pence con-
ference. at q meeting Of the Wash
dngton Study yesterday at the High
lands apartments.
DR.. Scott also voiced his objection
to secret treaties between nations and
gave a brief outline of diplomacy. At
ing he spoke on the life of John Hay.
describing him as q graet student of
diplomacy.
He defined nation as a corpora ton
of which all of it's citizens are MEM
bers and stockholders, and stated that
as this was the case. every nation has
the same legal rights. I'VE are too
prone to Judge the rights Of states
by power" he said. "A dwarf has the
same rights as a giant. a small state
has the same rights as the most pow
erful empire"
DR.. Scott deplored secret treaties
between nations. but explained that
he did not object to treaties being
made in secret. He said, however,
that, after a treaty has been made
that It should be made public before
the people who are to support It."
mo group of men should ever be
permitted to get together and nego-
tiate a treaty the reasons for which
are locked up in the minds of a few
people, he asserted.
