WAR WILL ADVANCE THE UNITED STATES TWENTY-FNEYE
 ROBERT JEMISON, JR.
Will Emphasize Necessity of Merchant Marine and Americans Banks in
 Foreign Countries
ROBERT JEMISON, JR

That America will be advanced in com- mercial pursuits and material progress 25 years as result of the European war is the opinion of Robert Jemison. Jr. expressed yesterday to three well informed men of this community, and after he set out his reasons for that declaration they agreed with that state ment
 This war will emphasize to American bankers and the American government the importance of the merchants marine, backed by our government said MT. Jemison.. Ut will result in our establish ing in foreign climes banking house 10 carry on Ameican commerce. We will be compelled to furnish food to the weep ing nations of Europe for at least two years or until they get on their feet again. We will, of necessity, have to build some more battleships unless t.lis war results
 in universal peace which does not seem likely at this time. Our farmers and our bankers, our business men and our manu- lecturers will reap harvests unrivaled in our most prosperous days.
 We will see within short time an thrush of desirable and high class inn migrants that will startle Europe. I be- lieve that thoughtful Europeans who are swept off their feet by the will of Elm perors or puny Kings will flock to this land of liberty and the home of free men. This war which has robbed men of their wealth, women of their husbands, children of their fathers, and has utterly devastated or will devastate an immense area will not pass without Europe paying for 1t in the loss of sturdy men.
 T am convinced that although patriot ism has it's place in the opinions of all thoughtful men, at the same time l am of the opinion that there has been swept into this mad quarrel thousands of men who if they ever get out will not remain in a country which is an armed camp when they can come to place like Amer ica. l believe this influx of men will be desirable timber upon which we may build in the future. They will help us on They will bring new ideas and new riches and America will be all the bet ter for it.
 .'The spectacle of automobiles, and fine race horses and the stock of Reginald Vanderbilt being confiscated for war will also in my opinion teach some Ameri- cans of the fairness of their country. Such confiscation of property never could have taken place here. Its like has never been known before. These persons will come to have higher regard for their homeland and will be prouder of America.
 While all civilized persons deplore this lawful war and while we may wonder what deity or demon has given such iron to our hearts as would euable us to go on in merry making uninterrupted routines while this conflict rages, yet we cannot escape the conviction that Amer lea is for Americans and that we cannot avoid a material benefit from the inn petuosity of our neishpors across the seas.''

JUDGE M|[LERNAMES
 RECEIVER FOR THE ALA. INSURANCE CO.
Issues Order Temporarily Restraining It From Doing Business in the State on
 Complaint of Brickell

Decree restraining the Alabama Insur- ance company from doing further busi- ness in the state was made yesterday by Judge John II. Miller of the city court. The restraining order is temporary, as by the terms of the decree the company has b days to show cause why the de- cree should not be made final. John 5. Leedy was made receiver and placed under s2500 bond and immediately took charge of the concern.
 The complaint was filed in the name of the state of Alabama by R. C. Brickell, attorney general. The complaint alleged that the report of w. H. Halliday, actu- ary. shows the company to be insolvent, inasmuch that on August 26 1914, there were outstanding claims against the com pany to the amount of $54S5.22, while the cash on hand was only S69.5S. Some of the liabilities are death claims of sev- eral months standing the other indebt- edness is for office supplies. rent and sal aries of officials of the company.
 The proceedings were instituted at the instance of Cyrus B. Brown, state insur- ance commissioner, who sent to the at torney general copy of the statement of the business of the company as made by Mr. Halliday, with the additional infor- nation that the stockholders of the com pany had had ample time given them to raise sufficient funds to cover outstand- ing claims.
 The decree of Judge Miller, after tho restraining order had been granted. Is as follows ''It Is ordered adjudged and de- creed that the defendant, the Alabama Insurance company should show cause if 1t can within 10 days from date why the temporary receivership and tempor- ary restraining order this day granted in this cause should not be continued

ILLINOIS IRON MAN
 IS VISITING HERE
Lewis Opp, President of Enterprise
 Foundry Co.,, May Place Big Iron Order in Birmingham

Lewis Opp of Bellville, Ill. president of the Enterprise Foundry company of that city, was here yesterday accompanied by w. E. Fisher of St. Louis. sales agent for local iron company. It was stated that MT. Opp was looking over the iron situation and would more than likely place a large order for iron in Bir- mingham before leaving for his home. MT. Opp said the European war situa- tion, from all appearances, would result in material advance of American prod ucts, especially food, and the American would profit by the unfortunate situation in Europe.
 Birmingham is a great city, said MT. Opp. You have the right now to claim the attention and the interest and the visits of anyone: Your facilities for en- tertaining and the fact that at last you can make comfortable the travellers are propositions of especial appeal to those who venture away from home. I have never visited nicer club than the News paper club in this city. It is situated in an ideal place and the furnishings and service come up to every expectation MT Opp is a guest at the Tutwiler and will be here probably until tonight

MORROW URGES THE NAMING OF GRUbb ID CIRCUIT BENCH
Refers to Record, Character and Ability of Birming- ham Federal Jurist and
 Suggests Action

Hugh Morrow, in letter to the editor of The Age-Herald, strongly recommends Judge William l. Grubb for appointment to the vacancy in the circuit court of appeals.
 Mir. Morrow suggests that the people of Birmingham urge by telegraph the de- partment of justice to appoint him.
 He writes as follows
 Tn the Northern district of Alabama we have as United States district judge a man. who, by his industry, his learning and his fairness, has made an unparalleled record on the bench and has earned the reputation of being one of the great dis trict judges in the United States. Not alone has he been able to transact with promptness and justice the business of his own court, but he has, by his ability to dispatch business, found time to sit for many months each year with the circuit court of appeals, and at other times to hold court in various other dis tricts in the south and north. Wherever he has been both the members of the bar and the public have expressed a great admiration and respect for him. No one man, in my opinion, has done more to overcome the prejudice that here tofore seemingly existed in some quar- ters in the south against the federal ju- dietary, than has Judge William l. Grubb His simplicity of character, his unassum ing manner. his keen sense of justice and propriety have won for him and his court the entire confidence of the community.
 An opportunity now presents itself for this community to give expression of their esteem for Judge Grubb by urging his ap- pointment to the vacancy in the circuit court of appeals of this district. While Judge Grubb has not expressed and would not, owing to a high sense of the ploprieties of the judicial office he oc- cupies, express any desire for the office, l feel confident that if the public and the bar would urge his appointment, and it were offered him, he would accept the same. It is and rightly should be, tie ambition of every great judge to be pro- noted.
 If the friends of Judge Grubb in this district would write and telegraph to the department of justice, and to their representatives at Washington, and make known to the admiration his real worth and the high esteem in which he Is held. there can be but little doubt that the sentiment of rewarding merit, ability, in- dustry and fidelity, and of strengthening the judiciary in the best possible way. the same sentiment that characterized and impelled the appointment of a Con federate soldier from the south to the office of chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, will control in this appointment, and it will follow that Judge Grubb will get the deserved pro- motion.

Germany Will Become
 Republic, Says EnSlen
Native of Kasers Realm Speaks Very Candidly of the Rulers Beicose Tendencies-Would End Strife By
 Preventing Exportation of American Foodstuff

Christian F. Enslen. founder of the Jefferson County bank, who came to America as a German immigrant many years ago. said yesterday that the Eu- ropean war will make of his native country republic He said there was an overwhelming indication that this is what will eventually take place,
 "The German empire is composed of too many municipalities that are jeal- ous of each other" said MT. Enslen. The impetuosity of the Emperor is resented by vast numbers of Germans, and l believe the war will wind up in the Hohenzollern family finding itself stripped of imperial powers. There is a strong tendency towards democracy in Europe, and especially of late years in Germany. That was indicated all

 At the city jail last night, MT. Abel, who is well known as a wagon manufac- turer and repairer, talked to reporter of his predicament.
 Why, that fellow has been talking about me and l just went there to get him he said. 'I thought that I had a good aim on him. but somehow things went wrong and l missed him.
 Lee Mcintyre had been spreading false reports about me for sometime. l went to him at Browns store and said: Lee. I understand you've been talking about me- He answered: Yes, you - with a string of oaths, and just up and drew my gun and started shooting. 1t Is too bad that 1 missed him.

during the past year by debates in the German Parliament.
 This war will result in great com merce for America. l believe, how ever, that the proper thing to do would be for our government to refuse any exports to Europe or at least those countries at war. In this war we should keep our feedstuffs at home so our prices will not soar beyond req son, and then let the European na- tions starve a little while. It would soon end the war As l see it the eX- portation of grain and meat to bellig- erent countries will be an act in direct violation of President Wilson's neutral ity proclamation-far more so than the lending of gold, which he diplomati cally refused Morgan & Co. The war will not last long, I think, and this country will not lose from it to any great extend"

 Fear the War

J. R. Kilgore of Jasper is unafraid of the wars blistering wave. For in Wal ker county he has entrenched himself be- hind 1000 acres of land, n fish pond the like of which has never. been seen, not mules now working on farm which will bring him 100 bales of cotton. and in ad- dition to this his friend, W. w. Crawford. is president of the American Trust and the annual recipient of fine shoat for his Christmas table.
 Mir Kilgore was here yesterday and hc called on MT. Crawford. He invited some friends out to his fish pond which he saftl was unrivalled. MT. Kilgore related that fish two feet long and with countless specks daily frisked in schools within reach and sight of awed onlookers. To this delightful spot he promised to escort and entertain his friend, MT. Crawford. and others of this city whenever they felt inclined to visit the capital of Walker county.
 ''The farmers need not fear the outcome of this seasons crop" said the well in- formed farmer, whose wide experience Is unquestioned in Walker county. And MT.

The farmer can pay his debts to a reasonable extent and he will benefit on advances when the time ap- proaches for the final disposition of his receipted staple. l am calm and unafraid in the face of the devastating conflict in Europe. With our boundless resources this country cannot suffer. l know Wal ker county is safe. Emperor Bill can get the rest of the country, but he never will get Walker.
