SERIOUS SHORTAGE
 IS FELT IN U. s. FOR
 AUTOMOBILE TIRES
Rubber Exports Restricted-B Business Suffers in Holland, Sweden, Nor way and Denmark-Diplomatic
 Department Takes Up Matter

Washington, September 15.-Serious shortage of automobile tires in the neu- tra, countries of Europe, usually supplied by American manufacturers. has followed restriction of rubber exports from the United States. Advices today to the state department said business in Holland, Nor way, Sweden and Denmark was suffer- ing on account of lack of tires.
 Under an agreement between the Brit ish government and American manufac- turers no rubber manufactures are al- lowed to go to any European country ex- cept through Great Britain, the Ameri- cans having entered into the compact to obtain supplies of raw rubber from the British East Indies. As a result neutral countries in Europe. forced to do all their buying through British dealers. have en- countered increased prices and in many cases a total lack of supply.
 Diplomatic representatives of the United States in Holland and Scandinavian coun- tries have brough the matter to the at tention of the state department, but the manufacturers here are not complaining as they have no difficulty in disposng of their entire output through Great Br t. ain. where large part of the supply Is used for war purposes. .. 4. <

SENATE INDICATES
 NO DISTRICT BILL
 WILL BE PASSED
Holmes and Bonner Meas ures Are Laid on Table. AbercrOmbie an Inter-
 ested Spectator
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery. September I5--tSpe- cial)-The legislatures disinclination to rearrange the state in respect to it's congressional districts was again ex- emplified this afternoon when the sem ate, by an overwhelming vote laid the
 Holmes bill and the Bonner substitute on the table.
 Senator Lee gave notice that he would move tomorrow reopening of the subject, but the belief is general tonight that this legislature will not only fail to revise the county's repre- sentation In the legislature, but will fail also to redistrict
 The Bonner substitute was offensive chiefly because it threw Congressman n Dent and Congressman Heflin into conflict with each other. The author of the substitute had previously stated that 1t was his purpose to get rid of at least one liquor congressman"
 The defeat of the substitute was con sidered foregone conclusion. The Holmes bill, however. was regarded as fairly reasonable, and its defeat is construed simply as another straw in- dicating the legislatures satisfaction with existing conditions.
 Tomorrow when the subject Is reopened. Senator Hill will offer as a substitute the Brindley bill, which Is on the ad- verse calendar of the house This bill effects only several of the districts in the northern half of the state It makes Jefferson a district to itself, and separ- ates the counties of Tuscaloosa and Wal ker, which have always been strenuous rivals in elections in which favorite sons were pitted against each other The bill by adding Jackson now of the eighth to- the seventh. makes that latter district entirely democratic. and prevents in the future bitter campaigns between demo- cratic and republican nominees How ever. 1t Is considered highly probable that the Brindey bill will fail of passage
 John w. Abercrombie. congressman-at- large, who. were redistricting bill to be enacted, would be legislated out of office. was sitting in the senate chamber during the heat of debate Mir Aber- crombie is opposed to redistricting al- though as far as known. he has made no effort to prevent the passage of a bill Several wel-known citizens from Tus- caloosa, in addition to the representatives in the senate and house of that county, are aiding in the defeat of all redistrict- ing measures.

bERNSTORFF TAXES OPTIMISTIC VIEW 0F THE ARABIC MATTER Says Differences With the United States Will Be
 Settled Within
 Fortnight

New York, September 15.-Count Won bernstorn. the German ambassador be- lieves difficulties between the United States and Germany will be settled with in a fortnight. he told newspaper mon here today The ambassador was just back from Washington. Seen at his hotel he said:
 Ordinarily, I give only prepared inter- views over my signature Today I shal, make an exception. You may say for me that am sure that within fort night all supposed difficulties between the United States and Germany will have been settled, and permanently settled. and the nations will be more friendly than they ever have been."
 Count Won Bernstorff added that he feI. gratifed over the outcome of his confcr- ence with Secretary Lansing.
 Later the ambassador amplifed the statement saying: Tn my opinion every thing regards the situation between the United States and Germany will be settled within fortnight I do not ex- pect to have anything more to say with reference to this matter in the next two weeks"
 Count Won Bernstorff discussed the sinking of the British steamer Hesperian, insisting that his first claim as to what caused the ship to go down had been yer flied, despite what he called the sus- picion of the American people about the ship"
 The minister empha sized the fact that under present conditions. exchanges of communications with his government were added that it was due to this fact that he fixed the time for a settlement d; two weeks

LANSING SAYS U. s. WILL NOT OPPOSE
 THE BIG WAR LOAN
Arranging Credits for Purchase of Merchandise Not Regarded as Vio-
 latiOn of American Neutrality

Washington, September 15-Secretary Lansing made 1t plain today that no vio- lations of domestic or international law are involved in the proposed Notation by the allies of a big loan in this coun- try.
 The secretary explained that the gov- ernment's attitude had been announced long ago; that it's expression of disap- proval of loans as inconsistent with the spirit of neutrality" had been occasioned by direct request for advice by Amer ican bankers concerning loans in general, and that the administration voiced it's op- position chiefly to loans by popular sub scription or those which would take large sums of gold from the United States
 So far as state department officials are able to observe, however, the new loan is essentially what is known as a credit loan, to pay for obligations in cured or about to be incurred for the purchase of supplies. Such loan is viewed as private commercial transac- tion. not differing from the traffic in con- tra band or other war supplies, over which a neutral government is not obligated to exercise any control.
 Only in the event that the matter is directly brought to the attention of the Washington government for advice is there likely to be any formal expression of opinion in the present instance

Consuls to Use Own Discre- tion About Remaining. The Villa Government
 Expresses Resentment

Washington, September 15.--Amer- ican consuls in northern Mexico, the chief battle ground between the con tending factions, have been advised by the state department not only to notify American citizens to withdraw from the danger zones but to leave Mexico themselves if conditions become intol- erable.
 Secretary Lansing today described the instructions to consuls. which were issued several days ago. as merely pre- cautionary because of disturbed condi- tions
 General Obregon's rapid advance into northern Mexico and frequent reports of lawlessness on the border have led to the measures, according to officials subject reads:
 owing to disturbed conditions pre- vailing along the Mexican border. the department repeats the advice hereto fore given to American citizens to re- main on this side of the international line for the present" E As soon as American citizens have withdrawn. there will be no necessity. in the opinion of high offiicals here, for the consuls to remain but 1t was denied they had been ordered to leave discretion being vested in the consula themselves.

There before him was House bill o9" iii support of which citizens of Brminghem m had spoken in the language of the soring poet and with the tongue of the wise prophet. But when he read the caption of the bill. great his wonder grew
 What do Birmingham people want that bill passed for?" he asked himself. And up to the present time the question has not been answered. For House bill a3 appears on the calendar as follows:
 By Mir Kelly: To abolish the commis- sioners known as the state tax commis- sioners of Alabama"
 And to each of those who sent him tel egrams, Senator Judge is preparing to ask for information. He is very anxious to act whenever possible. in such manner that his constituency will be pleased But until he hears further. he will not rush madly toward the abolition of the tax commission even were his action to i'll the sky with smoke. and cause tho rose of plenty to bloom in the land.
