TUTW|LER TELLS WHY HE WAS PLEASED ID

Had Made Money in Bir- mingham and Thought It Proper to Invest
 1t Here

Maj D. M. Tutwiler, after whom the Tutwiler was named, has in the Tut wiler and Ridgely together s1.3o0, ,000 He was requested to go in the Tutwiler by w. P. G. Harding of the First Ma tional, who as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee was trying to get hotel for Birmingham. Major Tut wiler has been here many years, so when MT. Harding, with Robert Jemi- son, Jr.. started that proposition Major Tutwiler was all willingness
 He explained afterwards that he was actuated by two motives. Both of them interest as well as the man of busi- ness
 Birmingham has given to me the success that I have met with in ma terial affairs" said Major Tutwiler. "The advantages of this city enabled me to create a fortune. And why should neg feet to help Birmingham. The town has been good to me. The town gave me my money, so I felt like the Tutwiler h. ways that I could show my gratitude TOT the ulSlrlct DeneHtS 10 me person. ally Again Birmingham needed a hotel such, as the Tutwiler, as no city in the country did. felt like I would be rendering a service and also taking no risks when I subscribed. am told lib erally. to the Tutwiler. It will pay the operators and the stockholders. So in these two propositions I have, I be- lieve. helped Birmingham. and I have also discharged what I considered a duty.
 T want to say, however, that the greatness of the Tutwiler belongs to no one man. I would say that Mir George Gordon Crawford, who is president of the owning company, has worked un- ceasingly. day in and day out. to make that hotel as perfect as possible. He is entitled to all praise for his work. Then Robert Jemison, Jr. has been a most faithful and most enthusiastic worker for the success of the Tutwiler. John L. Raul and others have given of their money, time and talents to affect this institution for the town we all feel pride in, and one which will eventual ly be the greatest in the county"

sian offensive prevent Germany from transferring men from the eastern to the western front, they point out, but troops that are now being instructed in the interior, will necessarily be sent against the Russians.
 1t is also pointed o1it that Germany has to operate on fronts totaIling nearly 1000 miles with 25 active army corps while the allies have at their disposal 29 army corps for a line less than. half as long Thus, from the point Of view Of available troops, it is argued. the comparison is unfayor- able to the Germans.
 So far as equipment is concerned, the infantry on both sides are equally well supplied. At the beginning. the Germans were smuch better off with uuickhrers but the allies have now caught up by intensive production in the arms factories Tn the artillery the allies are said to have the advan- tage as far as light pieces are con cerned but the German heavy artillery Is incontestibly better. They are not likely to retain that superiority long, however. since both the French and the British arsenals are beginning to deliver big guns and the allies have plenty of trained men to serve them irrespective Of the Japanese gunners whose early arrival at A6arseilles ta announced by rumor.

Rioe. ThroSvina at Weddings.


 The origin of rice throwing at we'd dings is accounted for by quaint Chi nese legend. A great sorcerer, Chao, became jealous of another sorcerer, a woman, Peach Blossom, and thereby conceived a plan to destroy her. He persuaded her parent to give her in marriage to his supposed son and craft fly chose the most unIucky day for the wedding the day when the gold red chair the spirit bird would kill her with its beak. Peach Blossom, how ever, prudently gave directions for rice to be scattered at She door, and thus she passed out unscathed, while the spirit bird was busy eating the meal she had provided for it.

PROUD TO HEAR ARMY
 CALLED BARBlRlANS

Copenhagen, Nov. 16--An amazing exposition of German. nilitarism is given by Major Gen. von Disfurth in an article contributed to the Hamburg Nachrichter, in the course of which this distin guished retired officer of the German Army writes:
 s'No object whatever is served by taking any notice of the accusations of barbarity 1eveled against Germany by our foreign critics Frankly, we are and must be barbarians, if by this we understand those who wage war relentlessly ana to the uttermost de- gree.
 Of the German Empire and with the proud traditions tof the Prussian Army to defend our courageous sol diers from the accusations hurled against them in foreign and neutral countries We owe no exp1anati orsi to any one There is nothing for us to justify and nothing to explain away. Every act of whatever nature com
 nitted by our troops for the purpose of discoura ging, defeating, and des- troying our enemies is Q, brave act and a good deed, and is fully justified.
 There is no reason whatever why we should trouble ourselves about the noti ons concerning us in. other coun- tries. Certainly we should not Wor- ny about the opinions and feelings held in neutral countries. Germany stands as the supreme arbiter of her own methods, which in the time of war must be dictated to the world.
 Tt is of no consequences whatever if all the monuments ever created, all the pictures ever painted, and all the buildings ever erected by the great architects of the world be destroyed, if by their destruction we promote Germany's victory over her enemies, who vowed her complete annihilation. In times ofpeace we might perhaps regard the loss of such things, but at the present moment mot a word of re- gret. not a thought should be squan- dered upon them. War is war, and must be waged with severity The l commonest, uglest stone placed to mark the burial place of 8 German gTenad4er is d more glorious and venerable monument than all the cathedrals in Europe put together.
 They call us barbarians- What of it? We scorn them and their abuse. For my part, hope that in this war we have merited the title of barbar- ia,ns. Let neutral peoples and our en- enlies cease their empty chatter, which may we'll be compared to the twitter of birds. If they cease their talk of the Cathedral at Rheims and of all the churches and all the castles in France which have shared it's fate These things do not interest us. Our troops must achieve victory. What else matters ?''
