FAYETTEVILLE NEWS, FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA. The appointment of Lord Byng of Vimy as governor general of Canada, has been as well received as could be expected from a people many of whom are looking forward to the day when the representative of the crown of Canada will be named on the recom mendation of its own government. There is no evidence that the Canadi an government was consulted in the slightest degree before the appoint ment was made. The job of a govern or general of one of the group of Brit ish nations of today is a new kind of job. llis job is to save the face of an obsolete order of things. His task is to preserve the semblance of an au thority that no longer exists. Byng made his reputation in the late war when, in command of the Canadians, he captured Vimy Ridge in the spring of 1917. The significance of Vimy was that no position could be retarded as “impregnable" in the face of troops trained and equipped ns the Canadians were. After Vimy, Byng was elevated to the commandershlp of the third British army. He was cre ated a lord, and handed $lf)0,000 in cold cash as a “gratuity” by a grateful parliament. He is a younger son—the seventh son of the earl of Stafford. Lady Byng is a novelist, author of “Barriers” and “Anne of the Marsh lands.” But Rideau Hall will not know the voice of children’s laughter, for the Byngs are childless. , Eberle Leads Pacific Fleet Rear Admiral E. W. Eberle (por trait herewith) commanding a battle ship division in the Atlantic lleet, has been named as commander in chief of the Pacific lleet, with the rank of ad miral. He succeeds Admiral Hugh Rodman, who will be assigned to com mand the naval operating base at Hampton Roads, Va. Vice Admiral II. P. Jones has been assigned to command the Atlan tic fleet with the rank of admiral, succeeds Admiral II. B. Wilson, who assumes command of the naval acad emy at Annapolis. This would seem to indicate that the new naval administration has no present intention of reuniting the American battle fleets. This issue has been much discussed ever since the order dividing the fleet was issued former Secretary Daniels. It has been under consideration since the begin ning of the Harding administration. Some weeks ago officials gave strong intlm&tions that the issue was not one for the navy department alone to decide and that there were international problems involved which made the fleet policy of the government a matter of major consideration for the President gnd all his executive advisers. Whether the issue has been settled finally hasn’t been definitely ascertained, but the indi cations in official quarters are that the redistribution announcement will con stitute the only change in policy contemplated at this time. Rear Admiral John D. McDonald, commanding the navy yard at New York, becomes second In command of the Atlantic fleet and in command of the battleship force with the rank of vice admiral. W. R. Shoemaker, be comes vice admiral of the Pacific fleet. Amundsen Escapes Starvation Capt. Roald Amundsen, discover er of the South pole, and his band of Arctic explorers have been rescued from the' frozen North after a two months’ battle with the elements fol lowing the disabling of their polar ship Maud. Amundsen and his men were landed safely at Nome, Alaska. The explorer and his party were picked up at East Cape, Siberia, by the fur steamer Herman after they had crossed the Bering straits on foot. Although Amundsen had outfitted his ship with provisions for five years, the intrepid party faced starvation through inability to transport the stores. Amundsen is not disheartened by his misfortune. He plans to lead an expedition back to his ship as soon as the waters open. He will tow the Maud into Nome for repairs. Amund sen left four men on the vessel to guard the stores. Amundsen left Seattle last summer on an attempt to reach the pole. He . provisioned his vessel for five years at Nome and then sailed north into the 'ice’fields. ■' Amundsen’s greatest fame came when he discovered the "Northwest pass age” by circumnavigating the globe through the narrow waters between the Arctic ice packs and the coasts of America, Asia and Europe. OFFER OF CREDIT TO COHON RAISERS FEDERAL reserve offers cred IT FACILITIES TO HANDLE COTTON CROP FUTURE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT Says Spirit Of Optimism Will Be Tangible Help To The Southern Farmer Washington.—For the purpose of reviewing the credit situation and de termining what further credit will be needed to facilitate the harvesting and orderly marketing of this years cotton crop, as well as the hold-over, from last year, the federal reserve board, wires one of the Washington special corresuondents to the Atlanta Con stitution, recently held a con ference with the governors of the federal reserve banks of Atlanta, Rich mond, St. Louis, Kansas City and Dal las, the banks located in or brought in closest touch with the member banks in the Southern states. As a result of this meeting the fed eral reserve board and the governors of the federal reserve banks announce that the federal reserve banks, in ad dition to credits already extended, are able to stand ready to extend further credit for the purpose of harvesting and marketing the coming crop in whatever amount may legitimately be required, either directly to their mem ber banks, or, under the ruling made by the board recently, indirectly to non-member banks acting through the agency, and with the indorsement of a member bank. These loans will be made by the federal reserve banks up on notes, drafts and bills of exchange issued or drawn in accordance with the terms of the federal reserve act and the regulations of the federal re serve board. This announcement, following the statement of Eugene Meyer, Jr., man aging director of the war finance cor poration, that his board stands ready ind willing to asisst the Southern farm ers in the exportation of cotton as demonstrated in a $5,000,000 loan to the cotton growers of the Mississippi delta district, brings a decidedly more roseate prospect to the farmers of the South, as well as those who are so vitally interested in their prosperity. Governor Wellborn of the Atlanta federal reserve stated that he is much pleased with the action of the board, and that, in his opinion, it will do much to atsbilize the cotton market. He explained that it was almost im perative that some such action be tak en in view of the fact that the incom ing crop was nearly here and that, in addition to that, it becomes necessary to market a large part of last year’s crop which has neyer been sold. As a result of the action of the federal re serve board,, he believes that a spirit of optimism will be created which will result in tangible benefit to the South. At the present time the five reserve banks in question are lending to their members $457,000,000 or more than 26 per cent of the loans of the entire system, the Richmond bank borrow ing from other reserve banks twenty million dollars, and the Dallas bank borrowing sixteen million dollars for that purpose. The total loans of these five reserve banks to their member banks exceed their reserve deposits by one hundred and ninety-two million dollars, whereas the reserve deposits of the other seven reserve banks ex ceed their loans to their members of on hundred and eighteen million dol lars. The amount now loaned by these reserve banks, to their members is four and a half times the amount borrowed at an^ one time by all the national banks of the country prior to 1914, or before the establishment of the fed eral reserve system. i_lghtning Hits Engine; Fireman Hurt Memphis, Tenn.—Clyde C.
