MRS. DANIEL HALE WILLIAMS
CROSSES THE BAR
By Irene N. Gaines

Mrs. Daniel hale Williams, nee
Alice Lee, the highly cultured wife Of
DR.. Daniel Hale Williams, Chicago's
most distinguished surgeon, quietly
passed beyond the veil Saturday morn
ing, August 80, at her home, AS E.
And Street, to which place her hus-
band had brought her the previous
day from their beautiful summer home
in Idlewild, Michigan.
Early Life and Training
Alice Lee was born April IA, 1868,
in Richmond, Virginia She was taken
to Washington, D. C., by her parents
at the age Of seven years. There she
completed her elementary education,
and later became an honor graduate
Of Howard University AT the early
age of 10 she became an instructor
in the Mott graded school Of Wash
ington. Here she remained until her
marriage in 1898 to DR.. Williams, at
that time the distinguished head Of
Freedman's Hospital. While living in
Washington, d. G., Mrs. Williams
was very prominent in social and lit
erary circles. She was noted for her
charming versatility, culture and high
ideals, as we'll as for a very striIingly
beautiful personality. She was by re-
ligious faith Congregationalist, hav-
ing joined the First Congregational
Church in Washington in early youth,
under the pastorate Of DR.. Rankin.
Her Home Life
The home life Of Mrs. Williams was
just as beautiful and effective as was
that Of her public career. She was a
constant source of inspiration to her
devoted husband, who, for the past
seven years, has done everything with
in human power to restore her to the
health that was formerly hers. For
that period Of time she has lacked
nothing that the very best skill of the
city could afford
Funeral Services
Death came to Alice Lee Williams
not as The Grim Reaper, but as a
radiant Angel Of Light to pilot her
across a crystal sea; and now with
Dunbar she sings
When all is done,
Say not my day is DER,
And that thru night ] seek a DINNER
shore;
Say rather, my day has just begun,
greet the Dawn and not a setting
sun,
When all is done.
Mrs. Williams was buried from her
home Monday, September 1; the Rev.
Father Simmons officiating. abide

GREENSBORO GINS
 WORK OVERTIME
Hot Weather Causes Cotton To
 Open Rapidly

GREENSBORO. Ala, August 31.-- Especial. )-The dry hot weather of the past week is causing cotton to open very fast, and gins are all working over- time in an endeavor to keep up with the demand. Wagons loaded with cot. ton are coming in until late at night, and it is no unusual sight to find fifty, or more wagons lined up in front of 1 the local gins. trying to get early serv- ice. The price quoted in this market is g to A cents, but not much is be- | ing offered for sale. Holidays End.-Thursday was the last half holiday of the season. All the stores closed their doors at 1 o'clock as usual, but every cotton buyer was to be found at his office, each being afraid the other fellow would get ahead of him if he left his place of business for the usual half holiday.
 Road Decided On-It has been def initely decided by the city council to build concrete road from the Greens boro station to the eastern corporate limits of the town. This matter has been under consideration for some tim, The road will be concreted from cur, SO SuAO AOL AOuI Clty OiOCho, anu clSt where it will be IS feet wide. The stat, allows $26,000 towards this road, citi zens are expected to vote a $20,000 bond issue to pay a portion of the cos and property owners will be taxed fol the remainder, to be paid in yearly installments lasting over a period of ten years.
 Party Is Success-The benefit card party given Friday afternoon on the college campus for the benefit of the desk fund of the new grammar school was a great success, both socially and financially, netting a good sum for the school.
 Mrs. Knight Recovers-Friends of Mrs. Thomas E. Knight over the state will be gratified to learn of her recov- cry from tonsil operation. Because of Mrs. Knights glorious voice this operation was dreaded by her friends, lest it impair her singing, but the sue cess of the operation leaves no cause I for alarm.

JESS GRIGGS HELD

Guntersville Man Returnfd From

GUNTERSvILLE, Ala August 31. (special.)-Chie Deputy Sheriff John H. Daverson has returned from Bowling Green, Ky, bringing with him Jess Griggs, who is under indictment in connection with the killing of Newt Clarke near Union Grove, in this county, last March. fGriggs is now in the Marshall county Jail awaiting trial at the fall terms of circuit court in October.
 Crops Suffer-The continued drought, the longest and hottest experienced here in a long time, has damaged crops in this county materially. The bulk of the corn crop was planted late this year, and the yield will probably be the smallest in years. Cotton, which, in the opinion of everyone, was saved from the ravages of the boil weevil by the dry, hot weather of late July and early August, is now being materially damaged by the same agencies. All other field and garden crops have been considerably damaged within the last two weeks.

STEEL MEN HOLD
 BRIGHT OUTLOOK
 FOR SEPTEMBER
75 Per Cent Of Capacity Production Is The
 Forecast .A
By EDWARD J. CONDLON (By Leased Wire To The Age-HeraId. ]

x
 NEW YORK, August 31.--Septem- Der will see even closer relationship be- tween the European affairs and the today changes in our financial markets. The general expansion of trade and in- dustry that is predicted for the nation this fall and winter, will, of course, coincide with the improvement in world trade, for to a large extent the two go hand in hand. The summer months have seen the effects of our tre- mepdous gold holdings. Money has of stock and bond prices and it has started a movement, which, if allowed to continue unchecked, will prove source of geat danger to our whole if nancial structure. This movement is the rapid extention of credits.
 Breeds Over-expansion
 Unlimited credit quickly breeds over expansion with consequent speculation, something which no amount of politi- cal speech-making or law making or other artificial means can remedy. The one thing which will prevent specula- tion and high prices is the return to normalcy in Europe. With European markets in a position to finance ship ments of American cotton, grain, meats and manufactured articles, this country can look forward to an era of prosper ity that is not based on a false founda- ton. Our problem, therefore, is to as- sist Europe and thereby assist our selves. Nor does this mean that one half of Europe may flourish while states on the other side of given boun- H. I ~s. has proved that.
 which America will be called upon to do within the next few weeks to assist Europe. The first will be a Belgian loan, totalling some sso, ,ooo, 900 to take care of maturities. The second will be the reorganization of Germany's fi- nancial structure under the so-called Dawes plan, with a German loan to follow in due course.
 2 May Extend Credit
 However, according to present plans credit may be extended to France prior to the underwriting of German loan by London, New York and con- tinental bankers. Sandwiched between the major offerings will probably be several small foreign 1oans. The of- fering of the $3,000, 900 issue of Aus trian hydro-elecrtic bonds last week is believed to be the forerunner of several such loans.
 It is significant that steel men are predicting that September will see the steel industry producing at 75 per cent of capacity as against the present 50 per cent basis, It is little early yet to make predictions as to the benefits in the steel trade of the outlawing of the Pittsburg plus system of the steel corporation, but the fact that there

 Aside from the late rallies of from 1 to 3 points in French. Belgian and Austrian obligations there were few conspicuous price movements. Wilson and company issues broke sharply fol. lowing the appointment of a receiver for the big packing concern but later recovered a large part of their loss.

SANCTION

Early. Reaction Presages Easy Financing Of
 Large Loan
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, August 31.-Enact- ment by the German reichstag of bills vital to the success of the Dawes plan last week injected new life into a lag ging bond market. Under the leader ship of European obligations, prices which had been drifting downward for two weeks quickly recovered, with the scope of the movement indicating a def mite resumption of the upward trend.
 Until Germany placed its seal of approval upon the Dawes program, un- easiness over the final outcome of the plan retarded trading and du1led the edge of the speculative sentiment, Sey- eral large blocks of Liberty and other investment bonds were liquidated no the theory that the market had reach ed its peak. Offering fairly good re- sistance to these unloading operations, trading turned dull and listless await ing favorable news from Europe.
 Stimulates Trade
 Uncommon significance attached to Germany's action from the standpoint of the bond market because the pas sage of the reichstag bills cleared the way for Notation of the S20O, ,OO0, ,OOO international loan on which operations of the Dawes plan will hinge. Prepa- rations for this financing, and for other European, loans which will follow, is expected to stimulate bond trading throughout the fall
 International bankers who will par ticipate in the underwriting of the Ger man loan indicated that the offering might be expected by the middle of Oc- tober. Negotiations affecting terms and other details will go forward immedi- ately. Other foreign financing in pros. pect includes possible loan of $780, 100000 to France following expiration of the S1,O00,000,000 revolving credit granted by J. P. Morgan and company last spring. Belgium also will seek to build up its dollar balances in the United States and may float a S30,OOO.- GOO loan this week to meet immediate requirements.

while President Wilson was the true
friend of international cooperation.
Had Mr.. Wilson's position been ap-
praised sooner In Paris. he might
have been listened to more sympa-
theticaily by the allied world.
Reaction In United States.
Disappointment inevitably followed
Mr.. Wilson's inability to secure the
ratification of the Versailles covenant
of the league of nations, but even il
he had accepted the reservations pro-
posed by his political opponents,
there will always be some question
as to what the true value might have
been of Americas participation in
the league in the years Immediately
following the war For there devel
oped in the United States a reaction
against all things European. and, if
the United States had entered the
league technically as a member the
political situation in America would
least. the exercise by the United
States of any considerable influence
in European affairs.
The President OF the United States
possesses great powers of negotia-
tion and cooperation which do not
require specific treaty agreements,
but the temper of the opposition to
futher cooperation with Europe was
such in 1919 that even simple pro-
posal to permit the United States to
assume her place on the reparations
commission failed of adoption when
asked for apart from the Versailles
treaty and as a direct method of max
ing sure that the interests of the
United States would be safeEuarded
in the all-important councils of the
commission.
Mr.. Wilson's mind was set on keep
ing the constitution of the league of
nations an integral part of the Ver-
sailles treaty, because he believed that
if the treaty settling territorial ques-
tions-in which America had a second
airy interest-were completed there
would be no leverage for the acceptance
of an International organization such as
the league was intended to be. He re-
jected all suggestions for a separate con-
ference on the question of an associa-
tion of nations. He was convinced that
the league would never be established il
its formation were postponed until after
the peace treaty itself was signed.
Evening star., 1924-03-23

So far as the United States Senate
was concerned Mr.. Wilson felt that the
main issue before it was the acceptance
or rejection of the league. BECAUSE in
the other portions Of the treaty the
United. States sought no indemnity and
had no desires for territorial gain, in
sisting only upon freedom of CONNER
cial opportunity in all newly acquired
regions.
Under Heavy Mental Strain
No human being. it seems, could have
survived the mental strain which rested
upon Woodrow Wilson during the peace
conference. Oppressed on every side by
the demands on his time. and aware of
the sudden intrigue which had crept
into the American organization in ar
effort to influence him, Mr.. Wilson suf-
fered his real breakdown in Paris
There was time when his illness was
so serious that il caused alarm to his
household After the few days Of illness
Mr.. Wilson never seemed the same to
his associates. Stung- by the criticism
that he had compromised too much, Mr..
Wilson was adamant to the last days of
the conference, refusing to concede any
thing and siding with the French in an
PEELED to sign without modification the
terms that had been proposed Even
the British were inclined to compromise
and permit the Germans to make modifi-
cations, but the French would hear none
of it, and President Wilson, anxious to
get back to America to secure the rati-
fication of the treaty, concurred In the
French view.
There developed inside the American
peace mission distinct differences of
opinion. Some of the advisers threatened
to resign, but fear of the misinterpreta-
ton, of such step back home prompted
them to keep up the appearance of
unity. There was one man who was no
longer in the Presidents confidence
Col T.. NJ. House. The story of the
separation is significant of strange in
fuence which played its part in the life
of Mr.. Wilson.
