COMMISSION WILL MAKE DECISION ON
 THE LOCATION OF
 UNIVERSITY TODAY
tcontinued From Page one.)


 mlngham presents solid, business like claim We have brought you our signed ) pledges and we think, in all fairness, Birmingham is entitled to the univer- sity We bring you the good will of a community represented by 1400 sub 5 scriptions. Atlanta presents an under written proposition or a small handful of men.
 More Weight Than Promise
 Birmingham could make the same kind of promises Atlanta has, and could underwrite an offer amounting to $l,- 500, 900. We believe, however, that the fact that we have worked for this proposition should have more weight with you more than promise of what will be done by a community after the institution is located there"
 pr. J. D. Simpson spoke and pointed out the fact that the newspapers of Birmingham had created a sentiment favorable to the university. He told of the broad field for such an institu- tion, and of it's need in Birmingham. "The people of Birmingham want you to locate this school in their city" said Dr. Simpson. We need 1t, and will give our heartiest cooperation to 1t. We have made substantial offer for the school, and believe We should have it.'
 There is an undercurrent of nervous ness among the Birmingham delega- ton. While they do not admit defeat, and will not until 1t actually comes, still there is tone of anxiety in their speech. This, doubtless, Is natural, due to tho strain of awaiting the verdict.
 A driving rain visited Atlanta this afternoon and kept most of the dele ration within doors, and added to the tedium of the wait for the final de- cision of the commission.
 Fourteen members of the commission , were present this morning at 10 o'clock, when the examination of the subcom- mittee's report was undertaken.

RESTORATION OF THE
CREDIT BALANCE
Trade with Europe Reaches
Abnormal Proper
tons

Washington, d. c., Nov. lS.-Ofiicials
of the various governments departments
which touch the country's business ac'
tivities feel confident that the most seri-
GUS effects of the European war on
American business have passed. The res
toration of the credit balance with Eu-
rope has greatly eased the situation, the
increasing demand from Europe for
American food supplies and also the sud
den development of an abnormal trade
in articles needed by the huge armies
now in the field aiding to that end
No accurate figures on the contracts OF
the latter character are obtainable, but
orders for horses, mules, army clothing,
harness, and the like, have flooded fac
tories and stockmen in some districts.
1t is said that, including ammunition
orders, this business reaches the huge
total of over $200,000,000. In several
| lines factories are straining to the high
/ est capacity to meet the demands.
| Other factors which have aided in
clearing up the situation are the open
! ing of the federal reserve bank system,
which business experts look upon as the
back bone of the country's resources; the
Il
already increased freight traffic to the
west coast of South America, and the
entry of more than eighty foreign'built
ships into American registry under the
emergency law passed at the last session
of Congress.
On the shipping situation, officials said
yesterday there was growing scarcity
of carriers for American export com
merce, because the bulk of that traffic
was increasing so steadily. Freight rates
have risen remarkably, and it was said
shipping companies We're Low selecting
their cargoes with greatest care, avoid
ing all articles of even a semi contra
band nature. Huge shipments of grain
are awaiting transportation at many
ports. 1t appears probable this condition
will result in renewed activity in behalf
of the administration federal merchant

although the new complexion of the
House of Representatives, where the
Democrats control by a narrow margin,
makes the result doubtful. There was
vigorous opposition to the bill last SEES

WAR REFUGEES
WITHOUT CASH
President Wilson Intimates That His
Influence viii Be Thrown for Re-
taxation of immigration Law,

Washington, ID. c., Nov. ls.--Whilf
President Wilson has decided not u
appoint an all-American central commit
tee TO take charge of Belgian relief
measures, he is considering the advis-
ability of forming such committee in
an indirect way. He may write to
someone suggesting the organization OF
such a committee. He does not wish
to take any official action ON the ques-
ton.
Mr.. Wilson learned yesterday that ef-
forts are being made to bring groups OF
Belgian refugees to the United States to
establish farming settlements, especially
in the South. He does not think the
immigration law as to public charges
would interfere. Assurances could be
given, he said, that the Belgians would
be cared for after their arrival.
The president is taking sympathetic
interest in this movement and talked
about it yesterday to callers. The i'm
preston prevails that, backed by his in
fluence, the legal requirements as to the
amount of money needed by immigrants
would be relaxed in the cases of needy
Belgians-or other refugees-who are
willing and able to work.

Ready to Relieve Stress Caused by the
Quarantine Rule.

Washington, Nov. lS.--To assist in
prevention of the spread of the prevalent
foot and mouth disease the interstate
commerce commission announced yester-
day it would contribute whatever it can
toward affording relief at the present
juncture.
Applications had been made for relief
from the assessment of demurrage
charges upon enlarged shipments OF
livestock. hay and straw, held by or
ders Of the department of agriculture.
The commissions announcement says;
Carriers are required strictly to OBJ
serve their published tariff rates and
regulations and may not deviate there
from. This commission may, however,
upon application made to it, permit
changes in tariffs upon less than the
ordinary 80 days notice. Should the
carriers, or any of them, petition this
commission to make effective upon one
days notice tariffs which will suspend
the assessment and collection of demur-
rage occasioned by the order of the de-
partment of agriculture, this commission
will be glad to give prompt and favor
a BILE consideration to such applications"

vid Lamar, charged on three indictments
with impersonating representatives and
senators for the purpose of defrauding
j. p. Morgan & Co. and the United

United States government and that con.
sequently the indictments were sufii-
cient.
At the request of Lamar's counsel
Judge Sessions agreed TO hear arguments
on a change of plea to-day. The federal
authorities yesterday were making plans
10 bring Lamar to trial within two
