- The White Star liner Baltic arrived
in New York last Saturday from Liv-
erpool and Queenstown with 1920 pas
sengers and nearly 5000 sacks Of mail.
The passengers included more than L.
500 American refugees who reached
Queenstown or Liverpool from the
continent, after suffering many hard
ships Seven hundred Of the 1000
steerage passengers were Americans,
unable to get accommodations in the
first and second cabins. One Of the pas
sengers was Miss Florence Ralph of
Buffalo, who at the outbreak Of hostili-
ties was studying music in Berlin. She
heard the emperor deliver the speech in
which he said his sword had been fore
ed into his hands by his enemies. AS
he said it, Miss Ralph declared, he
patted the hilt of heavy sabre hang
ing at his side and tears came into his
eyes. The Germans cheered the en-
peror's speech until he told them to go
to the churches and pray. THE day
before / left Berlin" she said, the
authorities issued orders that no pa
rades should be allowed and that any
persons found singing patriotic songs
would be arrested. The idea, it is un-
derstood, was that the government
wanted to impress upon the people that
ii was q time to be solemn and not to
be overconfident." Samuel Untermeyer,
the lawyer said that American women
who were forced to take passage in the
steerage, sat at tables sandwiched
among. foreigners Of the kind usually
found in steamship steerages. In the
steerage were Is Americans who had
been arrested in Germany and Russia
as spies. Dr. B. Pollock of San An
tonic, Texas, was steerage passen-
ger He was in Liege August / and 2,
and said the streets were filled with
wounded men. He said there seemed
to be few physicians in the town. He
himself dressed the wounds Of several
men. Miss A. Nelson of Brooklyn, a
steerage passenger, rode from Berlin
to Liege in a freight car. She lost all
her baggage, jewels and money. The
Baltic was conveyed by the British
cruiser from the middle of the Atlantic
to short distance outside the three
mile limit. All the passengers praised
the British government for its efforts
to ease hardships of stranded Ameri-
cans.

Regarding the
Monument

The Monument is the sole product
of man which is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
time-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which is only
as long as the span of life. 1t may
help to form a record. but it is erect
ed as a tribute Of love to those who
have passed ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns AS
such. let it be thing of beauty, not
dark and somber. but bright and
cheerful; not typifying earthly sor-
row. but symbolizing undying love.
And as architecture is brought to us
from the past by the tombs OF the
ancients, so let us pass on to those
i'm our steps, some worthy expression
of our conception of beauty.

R. c. Hall Looking Over Cotton Mills
 in State-Large Improvements Said to Be Contemplated

R. G. Hall, a well-known engineer of Boston, Is in the city looking after sev- eral cotton mill properties In which clients he represents are interested. He was in conference yesterday with Scott Maxwell of the Indian Head Mills. It was report ed that the engineering firm represented by MT. Hall was about to begin the re- construction of several cotton mill plants in the south, including the plant at Cor dova.
 While nothing was given out by Mir. Hall, 1t Is stated that interests engaged in the financing of cotton mills in the south are preparing to install machinery to make a greater variety of finished demonstrated by the war in Europe The belief is entertained that large appro- priations have been considered by firms in New England that have interests in this section.
 q am simply looking over some mills down here to get an idea of their physi- cal condition" said MT. Hall. "I cannot give out any statement aside from this. The situation. I am inclined to believe. is growing better every day and I think within a few weeks we will forget about the war in Europe. The south looks good and Birmingham in particular inn presses me as being free of care incl dent to the war. I think we are funda- mentally very strong and there is no req son to think that this country will be forced to suffer long over the calamities of Europe
 MT. Hall visited the Newspaper club yesterday, the residential section and is stopping at the Tutwiler. He will leave tonight for Boston.

 i''We are using every available mem- Der of our organization" said MT. Pill cher. We are working steadily in many cities of the south. Our company has been able to secure many very fine con tracts lately and we are far from pes simistic. I think it would be a great thing if we would forget the war in Europe and proceed with our own knitting. In Nashville we are getting along in fine shape and are not worried over the out look.
