READY ' TO RECEIVE BID
 FROM GERMANY
News Of Cabinets Decis- ion Sidetracks All
 Other Issues
(By Associated Press.)

t GENEVA, Sept. 23.-Germany held the center of the stage in Geneva to1 night, and held it dramatically. The members of the council of the League of Nations and scores of other dis tinguished delegates formed little groups in the corridors of the League palace anl discussed the big news from Berlin that the German cabinet had unabimt ously voted to apply for membership.
 The string, which, according to presS dispatches, Germany would attack to her application did not seem 70 worly over much the members of the council will whom the correspondent of Ibe Associated Press talked. The prevail ing view was that the explanatory note issued by Berlin was chiefly intended for home consumption and a sop to the nationalists, who are said to be fearful that Germany will be made to suffer new humiliation.
 There seems to be no desira here to humiliafe Germany, but on the con trary practically everybody tonight was voicing deep satisfaction 5ser Ber lin's decision, coupled with words of hearty welcome.
 The news reached the league secre- tarist at sensational moment. for the council in secret session was discuss ing how best to conduct the league investigation of the armament situe tion in Germany, which is one of the rights vested in the council by the Versailles treaty.

MEADOWS MADE
 COTTON REGISTRAR
Former Departrent Chief Se-
 lected By Chicago Board

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-William R. Meadows, formerly chief of the textile division of the United States depart ment of commerce, was tonight ap- pointed cotton registrar of the Chi cago market by the directors of the Chicago Board of Trade.
 Prior to his service in the depart- ment of commerce, Mir. Meadows was for seven years connected with the department of agriculture, for the greater part of the time being the head of the cotton division of the bureau of agricultural economics. In that capacity he was directly in charge of the enforcement of the cotton fu- lures act and the cotton standards act, both of which laws he assisted in draft ing.
 As cotton registrar, MT. Meadows will have immediate supervision over trading in cotton on the Chicago Board of Trade which is expected to begin in a few weeks.

have made concerning you has to, do with the circumstances of your removal from the position of Attorney General. I need not remind you that this was accomplished only as a result of con tinued pressure exerted by members of the senate and house. The reason fin ally put forward was, in short, that you could not be trusted to decide to what extent the records of your office should be investigated. Concerning the reluctant action taken in this respect, I have said, and now repeat, that if you were unfit for the high position you held, the President, instead of twice refusing your resignation. should have accepted when first rendered; or, bet ter still, have demanded 1t as soon as he assumed office. If, on the other hand, you were fit person to occupy the of flee of attorney general, some better reason for your dismissal should have been found than the poor pretext which was finally adopted.
 With one sentence of your letter heartily agree, namely, that There is something more important in this year of grace than election to office or politi- cal success That something l believe to be that the moral sense of the Amer ican people shall be aroused to condemn and not condOne the betrayal of official trust. This issue cannot be obscured by your effort to represent the real contest in this campaign as one between the de- lenders of the Constitution and those who seek to overthrow it under leaders fresh from baptism of Bolshevism in, furid and suffering Russia If the Constitution is to endure, the first re- quisite is that men who hold office under it shall be honest and faithful to their trust. Its real enemies are not the reds and bolshevists of whom you speak, whose shadows frighten you, but corrupt and impotent public officials and their associates"

Wilbur Demands Speedy And Comprehensive
 Survey

WASHINGTON, Sep. 23.-The problem of what should be the ratio of development of submarines, surface ships and aircraft in the navy during the next few years was handed by Sec retary Wilbur today to the navy gene""l board with instructions that it make a comprehensive study and report to him at it's earliest convenience.
 The secretary's action was in keeping with statement mads earlier in the day at the White House that President Coolidge was inclined to think that in in its initial stages the aircraft inquiry should be considered solely from the naval standpoint.
 The general board will be authorized, however, to seek information from and the cooperation of officers in both the navy and army who have had experience with aircraft units.

EXCHANGE CLUBS
 ROAR APPROVAL. OF LEAGUE PLEA.
James M. Cox Speaks Of New Golden Age Of
 Fellowship
(By Associated Press.)

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. B. James NJ. Cox, democric nominee for the presidency in 1920, brought 1000 delegates to the National Exchange Club convention to their feet here to- night when he declared in his speech at the convention banquet that the League of Nations was the most sub lime conception for the service of man. kind in all history"
 'If it was possible" Mir. Cox said, "and had the cooperation of the senate, I would have this nation go into the League of Nations, lock, stock and barrel before you could say Jack Robinson.
 Would Avert War
 T contend that with a league of Nations, every great war could have been averted On his second visit to America, Lloyd George said that the World war could have been prevented if there could have been just one hour of conference between Germany, Aus tria, France and Great Britain.
 But there was war in 1914, and why! Because the means of inter- change of ideas had not been created i; because there was no method whereby the protest of the world against the war could be registered.
 Yesterday was the golden age," MT. Cox exclaimed in concluding, but to- morrow will carry the glow of an even greater golden age, if we but render service to our fellows"
 President Guy K. Jeffrfes, executive head of the National Exchange club. and Dr. W. D. Haggard, president of the Nashville club presided at the ban quet.
 At the afternoon session today, Ex- changites were "educated" in the work of the club. J. B. Merrell, chairman of the National Educational commit tee, who presided in the absence of President Jeffries, read report on the welfare work of the National Ex- change club. Mir. Merrell recommended an enlargement of membership and an intensive educational program in the fundamental principles of Exchange ism.
 Amendment Adopted
 An amendment to the constitution limiting membership to white men was passed at the morning session. Only one delegate opposed the amendment from race point of view. Proposed amendments for admitting women as honorary members and for restricting the membership to white male citizens of the United States were voted down.
 Other matters transacted today were Adoption of the secretary's report show ing that 20 per cent of all clubs were present at the convention; adoption of report showing a 321a per cent increase in membership over last year, or a total increase of 2,91O members. with total membership of 12,457; adop- tion of a report showing that the Ma tional Exchange club has stayed within it's income and has a treasury baiance.
