ID D|SARM BRITISH
 MERCHANT SHIPS
England Apparently Confi- dent Atlantic Is Free of
 German Battlers

Washington. September 5.-Britain's confidence that the main trade routes of the north Atlantic have been swept clear of German war craft was dem onstrated clearly today when the state department formally was notified by the British ambassador that his gov ernment had decided to disarm British merchant craft plying between Eng land and the United States. The noti- fication is construed to mean that Brit ain no longer fears the activities of German naval reserve steamers de- signed to prey on the commerce of the allies, and has successfully bottled up German and Austrian cruisers while her own cruiser fleet is free to guard ocean lanes
 The arrival of the British steamer Adriatic in New York recently with four guns frowning from her deck led the German ambassador to question the United States as to the status of the British ship. If the ship had been con sidered an armed ship the rules of in- ternational law would have required its speedy departure from port not to return for three months
 The British government took the po- stion that the guns were carried for the protection of passengers. It con- tended that so long as the vessel was engaged in commercial pursuits direct between two ports and was not cruis- ing around on the ocean, it had a right to carry arms for protective purposes solely.
 The situation brought to the United States the necessity of passing upon every ship that might come from a belligerent country to decide the size and number of guns the ship might carry without being considered an armed vessel.
 Without yielding it's position as to the right of it's ships to carry arms, the British government notified the Secretary of State today that it would remove all guns from commercial ships in order to relieve the United States of fhe rarohlann nresen ted

The politician accepted willingly, and as they logged along the farmer cross-ex- amined him as to his affairs.
 "And what are you in business?" the farmer asked.
 I'm not exactly in business" was the reply. I'm professional man."
 What profession ?" was the next ques- tion.

RAILROADS MOVE TO INCREASE RATES
 PRODUCES GREAT CLAMOR OF PROTESTS

The proposal of the railroads to the railroad commission that they be permit ted to increase their rates on coal 10 and from the Birmingham district has pre- cipitated storm of opposition in north Alabama.
 Practically every man who has ex- pressed himself has gone on record as re- garding the contemplated action of the railroads as unjust. The silence which the storm is generally said to be signifi- cant even if not ominous of danger im- pending for the public.
 This important matter will be consid- cred by the commission September 14.
 
 The average man has simply expressed the hope that the commission in this emergency in this business crisis, will not take step which could only add to his individual burden. to the cost of living.
 The student of economies has expressed the belief that the action of the railroads would seriously cripple an industry which is of prime importance to the continued growth and development of north Ala bama.
 Coal producing corporations believe and contend that should the railroads raise their rates on coal. they would next raise rates on all equipment used at mInes.
 The politician sees nothing but smother attempt on the part of the railroads 10 re-enter politics, to give some candidate an opportunity to harass the state on an anti-railroad platform. to re-creatc. in other words, an issue which has been gem erally regarded as dead.
