son, when asked his opinion on the sub ject of the city accepting the womens offer to help. said
 Tt is a good idea. Garbage disposal is a very important subject. The ladies may accomplish a great deal of good. not only in temporary relief but in an educa- tional way
 MT. Shropshire said he thought the "woman's attitude was a very commenda- ble thing.''
 MT. H. H. Smell thought there should be no change in the department but if such is considered necessary by the city gov ernment and the health question is in volvcd, women can render valuable aid to the city by the supervision of the gar haze inspection.
 Mrs. l.. J. Haley said: 'The plan Is ex- cellent if the work is practical. It is ths service of all services woman can rem der to the municipality
 Mir. Gafford, when asked, said: We need the campaign of education more than anything else. and here Is where the woman can help most''
 Judge Turner, the new inspector of po- lice. said he considered the whole thing a splendid spirit
 It is to be hoped all women with any civic pride will rally to this call It is the duty of every woman in Birmingham. white or colored, to aid the city in keep- ing down sickness and making Birmlng- ham cleaner than 1t has ever been be- fore
 Don't start out with an idea that you are just going to nose in your neigh bor's garbage can or hunt up trouble in somebody's backyard. That isn't it at all It's big, fine spirit, and must be worked out on the biggest lines possible
 Heretofore the church societies and charities have always been considered woman's work but we know that while that is a part of the sphere of women 1t Is only a small part Women are by nature housekeepers, and they want to get busy and help now in keeping the city clean.
 It isn't going to be all fun, but it is going to be entirely worth the trouble

PEACE CENTENARY
AUGURY, SAYS T. R

Reeiprocating British
Sentiment.

The belief that the hundred years Of
peace between the United States and
Great Britain are an augury for the
future of the peoples of the world Is
expressed in a cable dispatch sent yes
terday by Theodore Roosevelt, as
honorary chairman O.. the American
peace centenary committee, to Earl
Grey, president of the British CEN
tenary committee. Colonel Roosevelt's
dispatch, which was in answer to a
recent communication expressive Of
good will from the British committee,
follows:
Earl Grey, London.
''On behalf of the American peace
centenary committee, beg to ac-
knowledge your cable on behalf of the
British peace centenary committee.
We most cordially reciprocate the feel
ing therein expressed. We believe that
the hundred years Of peace between
the two nations are an augury for the
future. not only as far as they are con-
cerned, but fer the future as far as
the peoples of the world are concerned.
II is indeed happy circumstance that
the two nations are able TO celebrate in
this fashion the one-hundrdth ami
versary OF the Treaty Of Client

WHEREABOUTS OF
ZEPPELINS SECRET
S5OO,OO0 Monster Finished
Every Three Weeks
and Flies Away.
rBy cabI, to The Tribune. ]

London. Jan. 1.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle" publishes the following dispatch
from it's correspondent at Basic, Swift
zerland:
"Only time can solve the mystery
Of the giant airships. Their monaco
tivity, combined with German boasts,
has won them a place In the pubic
skeleton cupboard. But, if the Yep
pelin threat is all a bluff, as IS de-
clared by various American newspa-
pers, it is a very expensive KIND OIL
bluff.
Each of the improved vessels costs
roughly 100000 for building ana
equipment. AS a new. one IS turned
ont every three weeks, this means
over S165.000 a week. Then there
must be added the salaries OF the Zo0
to 300 men who now work IN day ana
night shifts on the construction or the
super-Zeppelins. Would Germany pay
this price for a dubious bluf, and, u
so, why are so many troops quartered
in Friedrickshaven to protect the Yep
pelin dockyard? Why have such MI
mute precautions been taken against
air raids on the shedsg why are anti
aeroplane guns, always ready for IN
slant use, kept pH NiAN
heights and on the roofs of the castle
and other high buildings?
$50 far none of the improved Yep
pelins have been used. Those that
have done raiding and reconnoitring
work in Poland and France are OF the
old type, constructed before the war.
Most of the estimates put the NUMBER
of new super-Zeppelins at fifteen to
twenty. Every three weeks new one
is dragged from it's closely guarded
shed and put through its PAGES over the
lake. Owing to the spy scare great
care is taken TO keep it away from the
neighborhood of the Swiss border. 1t
makes a flight at nighttime, and after
being brought out again for bomb drop
ping practice it leaves for a secret des-
tination, which is part of the mystery
the workmen do not know.
There is talk Of great air bases
near Hamburg, Namur, Antwerp, Brus-
sells and other towns hundreds OF miles
apart. There is talk of new sheds TO
the north of Zeebrugge; there is talk.
too. of trial evolutions over the klel
Canal and the Baltic in conjunction
with submarines and warships."

Underwriters are inclined 20 believe
that the American note concerning inc

the unreasonable delay of the Ad-
miralty in examining suspected ships
which have been detained. Ship char
terers and shippers here agree in this
regard.
