SELMA
HENRY FORD'S PEACE MISSIOr BITTERLY OPPOSED BY SELMl CITIZEN


 Selma, December 1.-(speciaL) )Jo-
 seph B. Evans, clerk of the Selma
 city court and leader of Selma's anti
 suffragists, is bitterly opposed to the
 proposed peace mission of Henry Ford
 Jane Addams and other advocates of
 world peace. Were the peace delegates to sail from Amercia in neutral ship and that ship should be sunk by a
 mine or submarine, MT Evans thinks I it would greatly increase internation- al complications.
 | MT. Swans sent this telegram: ''Tumulty Secretary to President, Washington, D. C.:
 Urge the President to sit down on Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Jane Addams and other fakers and inter- | meddlers Urge that he forbid them sailing on a fool European jaunt and self advertising scheme which may bring more trouble about the ears of the Washington government. "J. B. EvANS.' D Four additional clerks and three ad- ditional carriers will be used in the Selma postoffice from December 20 to January 1, according to Postmaster b. M Scott. Eight thousand packages of parcel post were handled in those 10 days in 1914, and indications point to a greater increase this year. Two extra wagons and two automobiles will be used in the delivery of Selmians' Christmas presents.
 Plans go on apace for the conven- | tion of Jewish Sunday school here next | month. Rabbi Isadore Isaacson an-
 nounces that prominent Sunday school ! workers will be here from Birming- ham, Atlanta, Montgomery, Meridian, 1 Mobile and other cities Speakers from
 several northern cities will be here. 1 J. c. Suttles of Centreville, Bibb
 county, has just purchased a large 1 tractor and threshing machine in prep | aration for huge acreage of oats which will be planted on his farm. MT

London. December 2.-The Morning Posts Hungarian correspondent says:
 The resignation of the three Austrian cabinet ministers is protest against Ger many's attempt to force a zolverein on Austria and Hungary and a. warning. to the people of Austria-Hungary that tlfere is economic danger ahead
 "Germapy's zolverein policy already has aroused bitter opposition in both the Austrian and Hunga rian governments. There is little doubt that the conference between the two Emperors had reference to tariff union and that the ministers who opposed it had to resign.
 "Dr. Rudolf Schuster von Bonnott, min ister of commerce, who resigned, is a shining light in the circles that fear that 6 fter the war Germany, cut off from ex- plotting the entente countries, is prepar- ing to swallow Austria-Hungary under the guise of a customs unfon."

SHORTAGE OF CARS
 AFFECTS IRON TRADE
EmbargOes on Shipments
 Becoming Serious Factor
WIRE PRICES ADVANCE
Plate Quotations Advance From s to $5-Scrap Purchases Heavy-Ware- house Prices Rise on Shapes, Bars,
 Plates, Sheets and Shafting

Cleveland, December 1.-(Special) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 "Embargoes declared against ship ments from central west to the sea- board by several railroads and a short age of cars in different districts are becoming a serious factor in the iron market. One New Jersey furnace has been compelled to bank owing to the delay in shipments of coke and other furnaces will be compelled to suspend unless there is improvement soon. The buying of steamship by one ore com pany and negotiations for purchase of number of other vessels are intended to insure shippers enough vessel ton mage to move ore from mines for next years delivery. Some contracts re- gently made for the transportation of ore provide for the vessel going up light and this fact is likely to cause trouble for the shippers of coal

THREATENED IRON SHORTAGE

"A shortage of pig iron is threatened in several districts particularly at Buff falo, where a few sales of small ton nages have been made as high as s20, furnace. The supply of bessemer is very limited, and some holders are ask ing $20, valley. Foundries report that their melt is increasing very rapidly and some of them are having diff cu1ty in placing orders for additional tonnages. Some sales of pig iron made during the past few days were from stock bought a number of months ago for speculative purposes. These sales were made at an advance of about $5.50 per ton over prices paid. In the south s1350 can still be done for No. foundry, but the tonnage to be had at that figure is small.
 Another advance of $2 per ton has been made on wire products, and plain wire is now quoted at $185 per hun dred pounds, and wire nails at s2 per keg. Some companies are entirely out of the market. Demand continues ac- tive.
 Buying of heavy melting steel scrap has been extremely heavy during the week. especially in western Pennsyl- vania where transactions footed up to about 100000 tons. Prices of scrap in all leading centers are tending up ward.

PLATE ADVANCES

Leading eastern Pennsylvania plate
 makers have advanced quotations on
 plate from s3 to s5 ton. A number
 of plants in the central west are selling
 at 2.25c Pittsburg for ordinary business
 for prompt shipment, and as high as 3
 cents is obtained on small quantities
 At least one of the leading companies
 is, however, able to deliver In about
 six weeks at $1.70 Pittsburg. Tn east
 ern territory principal tonnage pending
 is for elevated and subway work for
 New York, of which 46,000 tons have just been awarded to the American
 Bridge company, while bids on 29,000 tons has been received, and 25,000 tons remain in the market. Bethlehem sec tions are being delivered In about six ! weeks, but it is difficult to obtain standard sections in less than three | months. Warehouse prices have again been advanced in New York. Cleveland, Chicago, Buffalo, Cincinnati and other centers on shapes, plates. bars, sheets and shafting, the advances ranging
 from $1 to $5 per ton most of them being $3 The demand from warehouse continues at record breaking rate"
