Joseph F. Grace, president of w. r.

that this country would get a great

II was predicted yesterday that the
steel mills in this country would do a big
business in the South American countries
TO which foreign steel and iron msnufac-
turers have been shipping a great amount
~ their products, particularly for build
ing purposes. There will be n demand
for such things on the American mills
now. Likewise there should be an in
creased sale OF agricultural implements.
Other phases of the situation were
pointed out by Elmer II. Youngman OF

THE curtaiment OF our European trade
on account OF the war may force our
manufacturers and merchants to seek
more vigorously for trade In Mexico,
Central and South America.
Broadly speaking, these countries pro-
duce raw materials for export and i'm

rubber. hides, valuable woods. coffee.
cocoa, bananas, &C. and they require
structural iron and steel and many other
manufactured products

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Feb co.
Posses, with bloodhounds, to-day are
searching for bandits who held up
Queen and Crescent passenger train
No. near Trussville. fourteen miles
north of here, late last night, and es+
capped with loot reported to Re worth
$4,000.
In battle with Ave railway mes
sengers, the robbers stabbed Harry
r. Melville, chief messenger; subdued
his companions and disappeared in
the darkness with the registered mail
sacks.
The train was bound from New
York to New Orleans and carried a
heavy passenger list.
Masked Men Board Train.
After the train had passed Alfalfa,
Sc miles north of here, and the last
scheduled stop before reaching Bir-
mingham, it was tagged, and when
the engineer reduced the speed of his
locomotive three masked men leaped
into the cab. Covering the engineer
and fireman with pistols, the bandits
ordered the train stopped in a lonely
densely wooded spot between Truss
Vile and Irondale.
At that point the robbers COM
manded the train crew to uncouple
the mail and express cars from the
rest of the train After carrying these
cars about a mile, the locomotive was
again stopped and the mail cars were
detached.
Chief Messenger Melville, knowing
that the unusual actions of the train
meant a holdup. barricaded his door
and told his assistants to prepare foI
a fight The original three bandits
were reinforced, and all We're heavily
armed. When Melville refused to
open the door of his car, the bandits
began firing at It,

Nolley after volley was fired, and
the door was splintered. Finally the
bandits forced an entrance, but Mel
Vile still showed fight. When he
attempted to prevent the leader of the
gang from taking possession of thF
registered mail, the robber drew 9
long knife and plunged it into the
messengers shoulder.
In the meantime, the other messen-
gers, cowed by the display of firearms
were standing with their hands above
their heads.
The cars were ransacked, the rob
bers taking their time for their work
However, they overlooked one sack
that contained mail worth $4,000
Melville, after the robbery, said
that he believed there were about
eight men In the party, wi1c

when the first signal was flashed neal

The passengers thought that the trair
had been delayed by an accident.
