BIRMINGHAM A GOOD PLACE

FROM the TUSCALOOSA Tfmes-Gazette.
We are all of the opinion that Birming-

of the applicants. for it is near the centre
OF the district which the regional bank
is to serve. OF course, Tuscaloosa is the
best place of all, but as we are to get the
arnor plate plant it might be just as well
to let Birmingham have the regional
bank. Here's hoping she gets it.

TWO YEARS WAR PREDICTED.
Experts Say it VIII Take Germans
Six Months to Reach Paris.

WASHINGTON. Aug 2S.-Profes-
sional war experts in Washington ex-
pressed the opinion that the Euro
pean conflict will last at least two
years. After taking stock OF the Ger
man victory at Namur and the subse-
duent retreat Of the allies to their
second line Of defense the experts be-
lieve that the German armies have
won confidence in themselves In
their initial contest which may take
them TO the forts of Paris eventually.
The present judgment Of the ex-
perts is that 1t will be at least six
months before the German army can
reach Paris and that II they invest II
the French capital will Withstand a
siege OF at least a year or a year and
a half on the other hand, they also
believe the Germans can hold back
the Russians from Berlin while con-
ducting their attack on France.
When or how the termination OF the
war will come about was not predict
ed. At the outbreak experts here es-
timated that II might run for three
months. with the German victory
yesterday the estimate has been re-
yised on the theory that the war will

disturbances within the borders Of any
one Of the belligerent powers due to

ments.
