Activity in Southern Iron

The northern iron market has been very active recently, but at prices which the southern furnace companies would not consider. But now, after long period of dullness, there is con- siderable buying of southern foundry iron at prices, if not entirely satisfac- tory to the seller, believed to be slightly above the cost of production. Some large sales have been contracted for in Birmingham this week.
 When Alabama iron begins to move freely business here is directly bene- fitted, and activity even at low price will result in an upward tendency The industrial situation throughou, the country has been improving stead. fly for several weeks. It received . decided impetus when MT. Schwab re turned from England with immens, orders totaling in value many millions |of dollars.

CAPTAIN o,BRIEN

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The presence here of Mrs. Oscar Hund. ley of Birmingham, brilliant woman and suffragist, Is always a source of pleasure to a large number of individual friends and along with these are legion of those who have a soft spot in their hearts for her father, the late Capt. Frank P. O'Brien. who. though a rigid discipli- marian. had the rare faculty of holding the esteem and love of every man that he ever had in his employ. Said an old newspaper worker last night:
 Captain O'Brien was the only man I ever saw that knew how to get on terms of the closest intimacy with every en1- ploye of The Age-Herald, and yet they didn't know how to get intimate with him. He treated the managing editor and the stoker in the boiler room pretty much alike and got results from both ends. Business man to the core, that he was. yet Captain OBrien never learned the art of firing a man If the employe un- derstood him. If the recalcitrant made defense, Justification or palliation of his offense he was at his best, and could wield the axe like a lord high execu- tioner-but, ..when the incorrigible of fender confSgsed his sins, and began to play on the strings of that big Irish heart well, from the boss' viewpoint it was Goodnight"

Hapless Mexico

Chaos seems to have been narrowly averted in the City of Mexico during the interval that elapsed between
 General Blanco's departure and the arrival of General Zapata's troops
 Utterly demoralized and without any provisions made in advance for main taining order, only the determined stand taken by students of the capital, who armed themselves and quelled the would-be rioters, saved the city from an orgy of crime and despoilation. As lit was, great deal of footing was done and had it not been for the timely arrival of the Zapata forces there is no telling how long the disorderly ele- ment of the city would have been kept at bay
 Although the dispatches state that "excellent order" is now being main tained in the city, the deplorable state of affairs is indicated by the shoot ing down of eleven firemen by Za- pata's soldiers. When the firemen an- swered a night alarm it is said that their apparatus was mistaken for rapid fire guns and artillery. Volley after volley was bored into them, seven being instantly killed and four so badly wounded that they died on the way to the hospital.
 This deplorable affair may be termed merely an incident" and is not important in war times, perhaps, but it shows more than anything else that has happened lately in the City of Mexico what shameful and inex- cusable murders are daily committed by the partizans of the different Mex ican leaders.
 Truly, the cup of Mexico's sorrow is running over and the end is not yet in sight. Heretofore, the capital itself has been spared some of the worst features of civil war, but with two such formidable gentlemen as Villa and Zapata in the immediate vicinity, however much they may pro- test their amiable intentions, the help less citizens may we'll be excused for wondering how long the present order of things will continue.

The late President Futile of the Boston and Maine railroad, of which he was the chief executive for 1T years, entered the railroad business in 1865, after he ford. Conn.,, where he was born. He was a railroad man all his life. From 1865 to 1889 he was gradually working his way up while holding various positions. In 1889 he was made a commissioner of the Trunk Line association, formed to regu- late the transcontinentsl business of rail- roads in relation with eastern terminals. He was appointed general manager of the New York. New Haven and Hartford rail- road in 1890. serving for two years, after which he was elected vice president. When the movement was started in 1893 for the consolidation of the railroads east of Boston, MT. Futile was made president of the Boston and Maine. He took an active part in the reorganization of rail- road properties in New England. large number of roads were incorporated under his management. On retiring from the Futile became chairman of the board of directors, position he held until 1913 His resignation as president was caused by the Boston and Maine being taken over by the New York. New Haven and Hart ford. MT. Futile lived on Beacon street, Boston.

WHY SHOULD THE NAVY sINGs r,ro,, the New York World.

From the NeW xofh
 Secretary Daniels agrees with Lieu tenant Commander Evans that 1t is vio- Ia tion of neutrality for the men in the navy to sing 'Tt's a Long Way to Tip- perary." We had never suspected that American neutrality was such a delicate and easily dislocated institution; but we arc bound to take the secretary's word for if. especially when his civilian judgment Ia sustained by the expert opinion of lieutenant commander.
 This means presumably that the marine band must hereafter cease to give aid and comfort to the German-Austrian-Tu Turkish alliance by playing the Blue Danube" waltzes. We take 1t that America will pass int othe category of forbidden music also. because its tune is not only the tune of God Save the Kin1su but of ''Heil Dir i'm Siegerkranx.' making it a double violation of neutrality. We regret also to report that certain godly but sadly un- neutral church folk persist in singing . hymn the music of which is the music of "Gott Erhalte Franz den Kaiser,'' as well as of "Dsutschland uber Ales' This must be stopped lest it prove temp tation to naval chaplains.
 Dedicated as he is to noble deeds, we are surs that Secretary Daniels will do

D. M. Drennen

The sudden death of D. M. Drennen yesterday afternoon caused a great shock to this community. Familiarly known as Mack, Mr. Drennen, long the head of great mercantile house, was one of Birmingham's foremost citizens. He came here from a neigh boring county when Birmingham was little more than village. He was a pioneer, therefore, and while not an old man-he seemed only in the prime of life-he had seen Birmingham grow from it's infancy and had performed we'll his part in its upbuilding.
 MT. Drennen was recognized as a man of exceptional ability. He had wide knowledge of business condi- tions and his acumen enabled him to succeed in many large undertakings where other men failed. He was an early prophet of Birmingham's future greatness. He appreciated fully the resources of this district, and had ab- solute faith in the steady development of this city. Such men will always be leaders; such men in passing away will always be lamented.
 Personally MT. Drennen was one of the most popular men here. The grind of mercantile life never blunted his kindly instinct or his finer sensibili- ties.- He was full of the spirit of com radeship and his profession of friend ship was always sincere. He num- hered his friends by the thousands and his untimely end will cause unfeigned grief.

man appendage and for all practical
 purposes a subject state.
 Passing from a discussion of the
 present situation, he devotes ten pages
 to the history of the dual mon- archy and Austria's bad treat
 ment of Hungary. The British
 empire reaches out in all direc-
 tions and embraces more races and
 peoples than any empire on the
 globe; but next comes Austria, which is populated chiefly by three antago- nistic peoples, Teuton, Slav and Magyar. The seeds of revolution have been sprouting in Bohemia and in Hungary for many years, and be- fore the war came on it was generally said that with the death of Francis Joseph disintegration of the dual mon- archy would take place. As Mir. Bar ker well says, as he hears the end of HIS dItiClS. outlived her usefulness. She has al- ways been bad master to the un- fortunate nations who have come un- der her sway. Since 1907, the year when William Tell raised the Swiss in revolution against the Hapsburgs, the history of Austria is a long his- tory of revolts of their subject na- tions. The dissolution of Austria Hungary is merely the last incident in its recent evolution. In 1859 Austria Hungary lost her supremacy over Italy. In 1866 she lost her supremacy over Germany. In 1914 she will prob- ably lose her supremacy over the Slavs. A nation may rule over other nations only if it treats them with justice"

The Hopeful Progressiyes

The revival of the republican party was strongly in evidence last month when they elected many of their can didates for Congress. After a crush ing defeat two years ago, when the democrats elected clear majority to the House of Representatives of about 145, the republicans in the recent elections cut that majority down to 31.
 The progressives, on the other hand, made such a poor showing in Novem- Der as to practically eliminate them from future political calculations. But in the organization there are still left some plucky fellows. George w. Perkins presided over conference of progressive politicians held in Chi cago Wednesday and it was unani- mously resolved that the party founded and led by Colonel Roosevelt in 1912 was not dead but was going to be very active in the next presi- dential campaign. The obituaries which appeared after the returns were all in three weeks ago appear, therefore, to have been premature-if the action of the Chicago conference is to be taken seriously.
 Good! The stronger the progress sives are and the stronger the repub- licans are in 1916 the easier it will be for the democrats to repeat their sweeping victory.

DAYBREAK IN THE TRENCHES Captain Norman Leslie in Harper s

 Captain Norman Leslie in Harper's
 Weekly
 Four-thirty a. m. Stand to arms again for an hour, till dawn has fully broken. The light creeps up, and all the lovely wooded slopes stretching down to the river and canal in our rear begin to show themselves-the red streaks on our flank gin the east rise higher and throw gor- geous light over the scene-only to our front and the enemies trench is all still dark and somber.
 There Is no attack this morning, even the enemies' snipers are silent, and both sides remain still, alert-watching the dawn with similar emotions. In the dis tance over the valley purring sound approaches, eyes are strained upward. and out of the night high up, an Eng fish aeroplane sails over us: the red light glints on some metal, a moments glow, then silver-a f1ash-and it resumes it's normal coloring, humming strongly above us. It's impossible to describe it's beauty and grace, passing through the different l layers of light.
 Little puffs of white smoke now appear all around 1t, followed by the specially made German aeroplane gun-they burst anywhere, but seldom near the aeroplane the latter passes slowly out of sight over the enemies lines, but one can still track l her. by the sinister little clouds that break and hang in her track The morn ing Is absolutely still, and the smoke | remains for about half ah hour in the cloudless sky. before 1t slowly vanishel in shadowy circles that rise higher and higher.

WAR ECHOES

New York Herald: MT. Morgenthau is no alarmist His request that the cruiser North Carolina be kept at Beirut merely shows his realization that holy war means danger to Americans as to all other Christians resident in Moslem lands
 Turkeys declaration Of war touches the United States in two ways. We have the Moro problem in the Philip pines, and many Americans are residing in Mohammedan countries Most of these are missionaries and teachers.
 The jehad of the Caliphate is directed against Great Britain, Russia and France, but to the masses of the faith full a jehad means holy war" against all "enemies" of Islam. The danger is that the religious fanaticism set ablaze by the Kaiser and his agents may not waste much thought of the niceties of nationality and that Americans and all other Christians may be treated as ene- mics.
 MT. Morgenthau is right in insisting that American warships remain in Turkish waters, where they may be needed. As 1t is we have too few of them in there.
 London Cable to the New York Tri- bune There is one point in Sir John Frenchs dispatch published today on which London papers do not make any comment, although it throws strong light on what has been the subject of a heated controversy. Sir Johns refer ences to General Rawlinson shows plainly that Great Britain's attempt to relieve Antwerp was not confined to the landing of a naval brigade.
 Evidently a strong British force as- sisted in the retreat of the Belgian army from Antwerp, and General Raw linson, who commanded it, was not un- der the orders of Field Marshal French. but of Lord Kitchener, from whom he received instructions direct. General Rawlinson's force was only placed un- der General French's orders till about October 15.
 These facts dispose entirely of the theory that Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty was solely responsible for the measures taken to assist Antwerp.

 All women have hearts. but only about half of them have intellects.

Builders of Birmingham

The Traders National bank in its bio graphic series entitled, Builders of Bir- minghapl, has this in connection with its December calendar:
 Edmund Richardson McDavid was
 born at Huntsville on February 2, lS70 and is connected by birth and marriage
 with many of the most prominent families
 in the state. He was educated at Bing-
 ham school and the University of Ala
 bama, and came to Birmingham in 1886. After three years service with the Ala
 bama National bank, he entered the fire insurance business, becoming secretary of the Southern Mutual Fire Insurance company and the Birmingham Under writers agency. In 1898 he was appointed
 deputy insurance commissioner of the state of Alabama, and became commits
 sioner in 1900. In recognition of his ex- cellent record in the insurance depart
 ment. upon the retirement of J. Thomas Hefln from the office of secretary of
 state in 1904, Governor Jelks, without so- licitation, appointed Mr. McDavid to the position. At the expiration of his term he decided to retire from public life. and engaged in the real estate and insurance business. In 1908 he accepted the presi- dency of the Great Southern Life l:isur- ance company, which had been organized two years previously. Under MT. Mo- David's excellent management, this com pany has made rapid progress, and ii ranks high in the annual volume of busi- ness written in the state.
 MT. McDavid is one of the best in- l formed men in the city on real estate values, having operated successfully in both residence and business property, and | he has large holdings of Birmingham property. He Is director of the Traders
 National bank and chairman of its loan committed"

TORPEDOED

By Walter Willisson Stephen. They made her an armor of plated steel On turret and bow and. side, And a dozen giant muzsle mouths Full fourteen inches wide. They sent her out with an admirars flag While the long fleet trailed behind, And, fore and aft, with the forced
 draught
 She thrilled as the turbines whined. A shadow slinking beneath the sea.
 A gleam in tho setting sun. A tiny wake, where the wave-tops brsak
 And the reaper's work is done They saw her rock before the shock
 That racked her through and through. They saw her heel ana show her keel
 And then her boilers blew A shadow, slinlling in the tea.
 A gleam amid the spray, -- And . battle crew and al admiral. too
 Await tho judgment .da1. Bfrmingham. DScembefj4
