 That loconic cablegram from Zac Smith, Jr., from Paris received here yesterday by his parents, MT. and Mrs. zac Smith caused a feeling of genuine qualification over the situation facing the Zac Smith parties in Europe. about whom some con cern has lately been shown
 The cable was from Paris and indi- cated that MT. Smith and the party he is accompanying reached the capital from Brussels in safety. The Interpretation mingham citizens are not suffering finan- cially at all and so far as personal safety is concerned there has not been the slightest apprehension.
 The local friends and relatives of the temporarily marooned Birmingham clti- zens have no information as to when they will get boat for America Unless the situation in Europe clears up very ma terially there may be some delays, ex- tending possibly into weeks.
 The assurances in The Age-Herald for the past two days that the members of the Birmingham parties broad were in no possible danger either personally or financially has been pleasing news to the many friends of the tourists both in Birmingham and all over the state.
 Other Birmingham people abroad and not included in yesterdays list are:
 Col. and Mrs John P. Tillman, in Eng land,
 Dr. D. F. Talley. in Germany
 Mrs. w. S. Rountree, in Germany

He believes implicitly in the fighting strength of France and declares that Germany's larger army will be unable to cope with the quick-thinking, quick acting Frenchmen.
 M. Calame believes that the time has come for France to recover Alsace and Lorraine, which were acquired by Ger many when peace was made at the enu |of the Franco Prussian war. He be- lieves that Englapd and France will do most of the naval fighting against Germany and says that Russia will do Ia large part of the fighting on land.

 The commission has taken the firm stand that the request of the Sloss com pany will not be allowed.
