SEPTEMBER 7, K2l WEDNESDAY THE CHARLOTTE NEWS HEROESOFMONTE GRAPPAHONORED Statue of Madonna and Child Reconsecrated at Top of Mountain. Monte Grappa. Italy, t Sept. 7. This mountain, 6,000 feet high amid the rug ged crags of the Alps, has Just been the scene of a vast pilgrimage of 15. 000 veterans of the "World war, women and children, who for days have bejn climbing to reach the summit whj.'e the statue of a Madonna and child was reconsecrated in memory of the Ital ian heroes who fought in these moun tain fastnesses. The road to the summit is 18 miles In length and winds through passes, skirts the edge of bottomless ravine and rises finally to giddy heights, where to the south one sees the plains of the Isonzo to the sea, to the nort'n continue chains of towering Alps. It was thus that during the war, the army that occupied Monte Grappa con trolled the plain. It was the mountain ous battleground of the Italian incl Austrian armies and its changing of hands during the course of the war is the story of the whole campaign. The Madonna which has now ret a li en her place on the summit was placed here in 1910 by Cardinal Sar'o. patriarch of Venice. In May, 1915, while rhe stronghold was in possession of the Italians, an Austrian bomb struck the pedestal on which tne statue rested. A captain of engineers and handful of men left their dugouts among the rocks and in a terrific bom bardment lifted the statue and took It to a place of safety. On a convenient day, it was taken down from tho mountain and carried back to the rsir to remain until the end of the w.u: so that it could be erected with saf-s- tyFor the ceremony of replacing the Madonna, which has just taken place, the King was represented by the Duke of Bergamo who delivered an address on the sacrifices made by Italian troops in the defense of Grappa. For mer Premier Orlando made the prin cipal speech. In which he recounted the heroic exploits of the Italian army in overcoming the seemingly unsurmount able difficulties of the mountain strong holds. There were special commissions at the ceremony from the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. After the ad dresses, a mass was celebrated. Cardinal of Venice with five bishops of the Veneto officiated in the religious ceremony. General Giardino. known as tho "Defender of Grappa," received a gold medal trom the city of Treviso. While the ceremonies were performed a huge Italian dirigible hoveed over the mountain heights signaling to tha mountain villagers. It also carried a message to Grappa from the city r;f Venice, which read as follows, "The bulwark of the air salutes the bulwark of the mountains " COAL ANTHRACITE NUT POCAHONTAS EGG and - VA.

RECENT ADVANCE GREAT STIMULUS i Hopeful View of Business Conditions in the South j Expressed by McCord. j Atlanta. Sept. 7. A very hopeful X'iew of business conditions In tho South was expressed in a statement Tuesday by Jos. A. McCord, chairman of the board of the Atlanta Federal j Reserve Bank, who said that an int j provement in business conditions al ready is virtually noticeable as a coi ' sequence of recent advance in th prince of cotton. Mr. McCord said it , was his opinion that the general sit uation would continue to improve. "The incrfased price of cotton will benefit the farmers, the merchant an 1 the interior banker," said Chairman McCord. "I have no doubt that it will stimulate trade by furnishing a mar ket for goods which the farmers of tho ! South, our largest Southern class of consumers, have not been able to buy on account of the degression of fh past year and the low price of their staple. MARKED IMPROVEMENT. "We must have a market for 'ex tile products in order that the manu facturer can with safety ,buy the in coming crop. We now see signs of a marked improvement in the demand for textile products, which in turn creates j a demand for raw cotton. There is j evidence that the manufacturers cf cotton are keen to buy. Unquestion I ably, their stocks are very much d i pleted and the stocks of cotton goods I are likewise at low ebb, both in tho i hands of the jobbers and the retail j ers. "The boll weevil this year has made i the greatest ravages on record. T'v; crop will be short throughout the belt. "What might have been a serious I raw cotton famine will be- prevent! ! by the carry-over of last year's crop, j a considerable part of which is still in the hands of the producers. "The Federal Reserve Board in u ash ington and the War Finance Corpora tion are doing what they can to place cotton in its rightful position by bring ing about orderly marketing of the crop. "Ample financial resources are av?'T able to assist the producers in obtain ing the full benefits of the law of sup ply and demand, as it operates uoon the price of cotton, but these resources ! cannot be used for speculative pur poses, and the crop and the carry-over must be marketed gradually and in an orderly manner."

The federal prnv ernment will not intervene in an effort 'to have the Vera Cruz legislature modify 'its law recently passed permitting worl; 'men to shnre in the profit of any indus itry within the State. Secretary of the i Interior Calles has made a statement to this effect. Secretary Calles says that in such matters the States are sovereign, add ling however, that the law is not as 'drastic as described by its opponents j Although there is no apparent hope ; that the law will be repealed, repre- sentatives of various industries affect ,:ed have told The Associated Press that i they "understand" no attempt will be I made to carry out the measure in a I strict form. They are prepared how j ever, to close down all their interests in the State of Vera Cruz if the profit sharing law is invoked by the work men. It is believed the Supreme Court i will be called upon to pass on the law. ' Effects of the law have already been felt in other parts of the republic. In j the Laguna cotton region manufactiir i ers have refused to buy any of the crop i on hand in view of the possibility of I the Durango legislature passing a simi ' lar law. ijjpll i - K-rH The Boy and The Bank You want the best things for the Boy.
