 mined by whether democracy wins, as exemplfied by England, or autocracy and
 miltarism, as exemplified by Germany and Austria. A victory by these powers, as 1 believe every true thinking Amer

 setback; in fact, virtually the death blow to democracy in Europe. if not in the entire world.

 prolong the struggle. Let us stop this agi- , tation and war talk and devote our en- erges to the upbuilding of the state of Alabama and the city of Birming nam We want quarrel with either England or Germany. It would be the greatest of

CLAIM GERMANS
 BEHIND STRIKE

Bridgeport. Conn.,. July 14.-While some thousand machinists employed at the Remington Arms company plant were made jubilant tonight by an announce nent that the company had granted vol untarily an eight-hour work day with out reduction in pay, it is thought the eompanys action will not alter the pres ent labor trouble.
 The struggle, according to union off cials will be fought out on the orig inal demands that the millwrights shall become members of either the machinists' or iron workers union. The whole ques- ton will be placed before w. w. Pen field, head of the company, tomorrow by a committee of milwrights.
 The millwrights held a spirited meeting tonight and voted to adhere to their ac- ton of yesterday in going on strike un- til the metal trades union is given juris- diction over them
 The situation was further complicated tonight when it was intmated that bod carriers, hoisting engineers and members of the sheet metal workers union would strike tomorrow in sympathy with the iron workers, who went out Monday. Penfield tonight reiterated his belief that German influences were back of the strike.

TEN OF BUILDING COMMISSION NAMED Body Will Be Created by Passage of Bill ty
 Weakley

Montgomery July 14.-fSpecial.l ] Ten of the 15 members of the build ing commission of Jefferson county, the plans for the creation of which were mentioned in The Age Herald of this morning. were made public today noon. They follow:
 F. B. Yielding. J. D. Moore. E. !. Smyer, Fred M. Jackson, George Tar rant. William M. Walker, E. D. Smith. Crawford Johnson, Robert Jemison, Jr., and J. W. Minor
 The commission will be created by the passage of a bill introduced by Representative Weakley and on which the delegation has agreed. It provides that this commission shall take charge of the public buildings of Jefferson county and shall have supervision over any great constructive work which in the future might be undertaken. At the present time. as is known. the con struction of new jail could result from the work of pr. w. NJ. Oates. state prison inspector, in condemning the present jail. Under the Weakley bill new jail will be constructed when the commission decides that such a course faction should be pursued.
 It is understood that. first of all, the commission will be called upon to build new courthouse in connection with a jail The commission will serve as did the commission which supervised the construction of the sanitary sewer without pay

 MT. Schwabacher went home from his jewelry store on Nineteenth street this afternoon, stating that he did not feel we'll Nothing further was thought of his indisposition until ocloel1 when Mir Schwabacher asked that doctor be summoned as he was i'll. Dr. ]. S Win ters was called and arrived in a few minutes, finding MT. Schwabaeher un- conscious. He died short time later without speaking.

He was highly esteemed by his business associates and his sudden death will come as a severe shock to his many friends.

The Sea That Lies Between

From the Columbus Dispatch,
 For the sea that lies between us and the warning nations of Europe we should be profoundly thankful Three thousand miles of water is none too much to drown the threats of strife which there abound. It is none too far to be removed from war-mad men and war-mad nations. Ordi- narily one should be ashamed to seek se- clusion, to fly from his fellows who are
 in trouble. In normal times 1t is a mark of selfishness for one to live unto him self alone or shun the presence or others of his kind. But these are not ordinary times, nor normal times. These are times such as no man, living or dead, ever wit messed. So we should rejoice that the sea lies between us and the seat of strife. We can have sympathy for our fellows across the waters while still thanking God for the ocean that lies between us and them. It has been narrowed until we can speak across it, it is true. Tt has shrunk under the power of steam until we can cross it readily. It is not one tenth as broad as 1t was when the first frail boats were blown across 1t by the winds. But 1t is still wide enough to af- ford protection to HIS and to shield from view the awful agonies of those in the throes of death. It is broad enough to give us time to think before allowing ourselves to be drawn into the whirlpool of strife. It is sufficient barrier to shield us from the folles of effete mon arches, from the greed of ambitious rulers, from the madness of men born

true that our business Is being de- pressed by this war, but let us bear in mind that the whole world Is In the same fix. Our planters should have realized this war was likely to last a long time and by raising large crop of cotton they were taking long chances in finding market for their product. l would recommend the pe- rusal of the above mentioned article in the Manufacturers Record not only to Messrs Parker and Lackey, but also to our esteemed congressmen. l think it will give them food for reflection.
 I note that Mr Lackey makes the assertion that we have no right to champion Great Britain's side of the question and utterly ignore another nations plainly evident good inten- tions 1 presume he refers to Germany. If so, I would be glad if he would en- tighten us as to what he considers Germany's plainly evident good inten- tions? Is if the sinking of the Lusi- tania or the invasion of Belgium which expresses the plainly evident good intentions" of that country l think it Is a matter of history that Germany did not view our trouble with Spain some few years back with any degree of friendship and if 1t had not been for England would have voiced her protest much more strongly, but the day had not yet arrived when she was quite ready for the fray.
 Again I would ask Mir. LaclSey and all other true Americans. what European power stands most pre-enainently as a democratic power? Is 1t Germany, with her Emperor who claims to be anointed of the Most High. and his word, notwith- standing that Germany has a parHamen- tary system Of government is as abso- lute as that of any living autocrat9 Or is if England, whose people rule through their representatives in Parliament, and whose government by the people in many respects, is more direct than what we have In this country. democratic though we claim to be? If MT. Laekey is A true American he must stand as an exponent of democratic principles and notwith- standing all other issues of the war ne
