Woolen manufacturers and wool growers consider the prospect favorable, i But orders translate forecasts in to reality. On the orders for! ?nT L1.008, pr,ce* and employment I will hinge. It Is reported in mill and cloth- ! Ing circles, that when the leading , w t-ngland interests open3 its >? heavyweight lines for 1926, Mon-' day. prices 7% to 10 per cent be-, low those of last yoar will be I quoted for wooleus. Worsteds are not expected to be reduced to so great an extent. The exact condition of the wool en mills, as regards raw materials is a closely guarded secret. But the adjustment of raw wool costs downward in the last year means' that fundamentally the woolen manufacturers are well situated to do a good business. At present, foreign wools dominate the situa tion. Imports of wool through Boston In the last 12 days have reached the record total of 39. 194 bales. The shearing season In this ' country is still two months or, moro away. except in the extreme Southwest. The domestic wools held over are relatively more firm than the foreign offerings. There Is extreme pressure from Ameri can mills for cheap raw material. Yet. it Is noticeable that the groworspaud the wool buyers arc j gradually getting closer together. ' Contracting for undipped wools Is t - expected to begin in Texas in the ^ near future. Dealers do not know how much ' of the present buying Is to cover immediate requirements and how much In in antlpation of orders arter the heavyweight openings, but the activity is significant of the fact that manufacturers at least feel they have a good pros poet for bushiest. In the goods trade and with the clothing manu facturers, blues and hrownn are . expected to feature both overcoat ings and suitings. The report of splndleage In New England, just made by Govern ment officials, is indicative or the improved and Improving condi tions of the cotton mills of that section. Over 14.167,000 spin dles now are active In that ter ritory. It reached 14,762,000 last April but there are lndieatlons It Will surpass that figure this ?prlng.

Congress; ia perturbed once more over the state of the national defense, it probably will have to be a good deal more perturbed before it does ' anything to help matters. Con gress has been told that the terrl- 1 flc economy of the present admin- 1 Istratlon aided and abetted by General Lord, Director of the Budget and gran^ high execution-' er of all plans of expenditures ! brought forward by members of the Cabinet, has worked havoc with the Army, the Navy, and pr* - ?umably with the Marine Corps. In the corridors of the Cnpitol you would be led to believe that Congress Is more or less amazed st the situation and has deter mined to Inquire into It post haste to see what can be saved from the wreck of material and personnel; 1 what can be done to restore the lost morale of the armed services. Then you rub your eyes and you ftnd the House of Representa tives giving the Navy another big ! kick In the slats, out-economizing the economical wizard that directs the budget. Congress must know what It Is doing when It votes constantly to reduce the Army and Navy appropriations and yet. there Ik the outcry for an Investigation i Into the state of the defense. I It was pointed out in these dls- ' patches at the time of Colonel Mitchell's perfervld outburst st San Antonio that the real trouble , with the Army and the Navy was a lack of funds with which to car j ry out staff progrsms and with which to mslntain the Navy on a Continued on page 2 Two Tugs Lost In Lake Storm Muskegon.

The announcement waa greeted with expressions of {?.ratification. Washington. Jan. 28. ? Ameri can fcdheieiicH to the world court waa approved Wednesday by the Senate by u vote of "6 to 1". Operating under the drastic clo ture rule limiting debate, the Sen ate worked far past it h usual hour of adjournment in order to reach the final vote.. There waa five bourn of debate and then a rapid fire of roll calls on which every reservation pressed by opponents of the court waa rejected by over whelming majorities. The final roll call came sudden ly after Senator Johnson. Republi can. California, had made a dra matic last-minute appeal for re jection of the resolution of adhe sion. Party lines disappeared In the voting. Republicans and 3 6 Democrats casting their ballots for adhesion and 14 Republicans, two Uemocaats and one Farmer-Labor member voting in the negative. The resolution of ratification, offered by Senator Swanson. Dem ocrat. Virginia, contains not only 'the llardlng-Hughes-Coolldge res olutions. hut declarations of pol icy worltcd but ~by friends of the measure which reassert the sover eign light of the United States. These reservatlonB are known to he acceptable to President Cool idge, but before this country has Its signature officially affixed to the court protocol, and statute, they must bo accepted through an exchange of notes by the other 48 nations already members of the touri. The salient features of tho rea crvations are that the United States Is to have no legal relation to the League of Nat bins; that It may withdraw from the court at Its will and that the tribunal shall not. without the consent of this country, entertain any roquost for an "advisory opinion" touching any dispute or question In which the United States "has or claims an Interest."

Threats ant belli* made at thla time, of course. on both sidee. The entry of th.' Ku Klux Klan Into the controversy has affected the two Indiana Senators, at leaat hh the klan Is strong in the Hooe* ler stale. It meant only two rote# but ut the Hiimo time It aent lb It- [ era up and down the political -i spines of a few other fllBllyjf J who be^an to wonder Juat what the potential advantage or dlaad vantage may be when the polttlt '?} cal campalnnB are on in full j swing. Kvery Senators record Is al- .1 waya minutely scrutinised by hla | opponent In the primaries and the final campaign and If It appears j that voting for th?- World Coujt . can be turned to political gain by 1 an opponent there 1h no doubt us# ?? will t>e made of the issue. 4 The klan's basic objection to | the World Court la that It la a league of all kinds of nations. Catholic countries as well as otb 1 ers In which Protestant* are nu merically strong. The real point which the. klansmen are raising Is that it la an afTiliatlon with for eigners. The klan's efTort to get members is to iome- extent a drive , to corral people who hold strong anti-foreign views. The tost of the World Court as ft political laauo will depend al most entirely on what the United i States stakes in such a court. On the horizon at the moment there are no disputes between the Unit ed States and other countrfgg which could possibly be submitted to the World Court. The United States probably will not have any practical use for the Court be tween now and next Autumn ana even If a depute should arise ft will take a two-thirds vote of the Senate before the controversy can he submitted to the Jurisdiction of the Court. Thus membership la* the court will be largely for moral effect on the whole Idea of International co-operation. Once America has entered, the Bubject will be aca demic until a dispute arises. Slnee none is likely to arise aoon, the World Court Issue may well be forgotten by the time the Con gressional elections are at hand in November. Should, however, the Issue t>e followed by any other controversy Involving the League of Nations, the opponents of foreign slrllia tlon will do everything in their power to keep such a row ailje j In the hope of usinx It In the cop- | xresslonal campaign. _ . g The part the klan lias played in the Court debate may on the oth er hand prove a boomerang li some stat en where the pro WorlC Court people will not be slow to charge that those who voWd iiKalnst the Court did so at tbe behest of the klan. i While the klan Is not increas- j In* Its political power so far as nil r face Indications ro. there Is I no evidence that the klan leea* has disappeared in certain popu lous sections of the country wher* religious warfare Is always ? more j or less noticeable la political campaigns < M.VUCY IIU-TIST < hiiu-m SllimlMi HKU,THV ?IUOWTM One of llto you [i gelt church w KBiil/..lloni> In ? hiit city, Celvnry llapllut Church on IllvcreMe Drive, l? exhibiting a iplrlt of healthy and vlxurtua growth In every department of Its work.
