TWO STOR.IESOF THRIFT
 THAT OUGHT TO INSPIRE

It is stated that the banks of Birming- ham have gained upward of three million of dollars in deposits within the year. The total by the first of January will probably be several hundred thousands in excess of three millions, for the indications are that the Christmas trade of the merchants will be the largest in the history of the city, and that their mail order business during the holidays will show a very large in- crease over that of any previous year.
 Analysis Makes 1t impressive.
 Millions is a word which has lost some of its impressiveness here of late on ac- count of It's constant association with vast fortunes whereof 1t Is the unit of meas urement as thousand was in the simpler days of our country. All the same this addition of three million dollars to the wealth of Birmingham Is quite signifi- cant when we take into account the fact that the bulk of 1t is contributed by a large number of persons rather than a handful of individuals.
 A Brigade and Then Corps.
 We might distribute 1t among three

acquire home by our plan falls to do so, and, we suppose. we are no more fortunate in this respect than other com panies operating along the same lines
 They Are to Be Congratulated.
 This army of home-bulders Is to be con- gratulated-those who have made the last payment and those who have assumed the initial obligation. Within the next two or three years the requirement. of a home will not be of such an easy matter as it is now. The plans now in vogue may be improved upon-and probably will be- in the interest of the home-seeker. but residence property will not only be higher, but good locations within the city or a reasonable distance from it will be much scarcer. Those who have the sagacity to look into the future and the courage to act now will never have occasion for re- eret Each succeeding year will emphasize the soundness of their wisdom.

Still More Eloquent.

They are. however, but one indication of the prosperity and thrift of the wage earning element of this city and district. The records of the Birmingham Realty company-and of others in the same line of business, no doubt-show that more homes have been provided for by the sal aly and wage-earners of this city than in any year since the industrial revival began. Provided for while a rather un- couth expression, is used because of its comprehensiveness. It is intended to in- clude homes on which the last payment was made, during the year, as well as those on which only the first payment for the lot had been entered.
 Would Make City.
 If all these homes, actual and construct i've could be assembled In any one place, they would make a city of no mean pro- portions. The reader may object that some of them which are still '.in the air without any substance whatever, except that initial payment, will never material ize. We want to say our experience Is that not one man in fifty who undertakes to

thousand men-a brigade in an army-al- lowing each man a thousand dollars; or, to extend the illustration, suppose thirty thousand nen--an army corps-had marched into Birmingham. and instead of putting the city to fire and sword, each of them had dropped hundred dollars into the vaults of the banks. So. those three millions if we look at 1t in this light. represent great amount of sue cessful endeavor
 illustration Is Pertinent.
 The illustration in fact is not so far fetched as 1t would appear to be at the first glance. A large proportion of this increase in deposits represents the sav- ings of the wage earning classes who have had a year of steady employment at remunerative prices. You begin to catch some of tue eloquent suggestive ness of those thfee millions now, don't you?

Morocco.
GERMAN NAVY PLACED ON WAR BASIS
France to Enter the International Conference,
but Along Lines Which viii Not Open

VIII Negotiate Directly With France-der'
many Suspects England.

Paris (By Cable) Germany has con-
sentcd to negotiate the Morocco queS-
ton with France. The French govern
ment has indicated its willingness to
meet the German demands i'll concilid-
tory spirit. An international conference
will likely follow, but it will be on lines
previously agced on by Germany and
France, and will not open the whole
question of the destiny of Morocco, as
the Sultan has expected 1t to do.
France agrees that the status quo shall
be maintained, and that the Sultan
sovereignty shall be unimpaired. France
cherishcs hopes that the terms OF the
Anglo Americans Spanish-ltalian agree
mcnt as to Morocco may be largely
maintained, but this is not the German
view.
In word, France is determined at all
costs to avoid a war.
Gcrmany'S consent to negotiate di-
rectlv with France may be interpreted
as a Willingness to abate her provoca-
tive attitude and at least to postpone
war crisis The French government
hopes that England will not oppose a
settlement upon any terms possible,
The French reply to other German
demands is not known yet, but there Is
the highest authority for believing that
