 of personal negotiations in Washing ton.
 This method of exchanging views was welcomed by Count Won Bernstorfr, too, particularly as he has had no means of direct communication with his govern ment. To this lack of communication has been attributed much of i'll feel ing that characterized the earlier stages of the submarine controversy.
 Todays events spread satisfaction everywhere, not only at the White House and state department. but at the German embassy as we'll The re- cent critical stage of the negotiations which threatened rupture of diplomatic relations had raised to the keenest point the tension at the embassy. "His excellency is contented,' was the com ment that ran from the porter's lodge to the chancery when the ambassador returned with the announcement that the United States government was sat isfied The smiling faces of the embas- sy's personnel, busy preparing for the ters fortnight hence, reflected the spirit displayed by their. chief
 ''It is a diplomatic victory for the United States, the ambassador re- marked, but credit must be given to Germany, believe, for nobly ac- cepting the word of the British ofri- cers that they did not intend to ram the submarine"
 This point, it was learned, at one time threatened to interrupt the pro- ceedings, as the German government at first wished to arbitrate the conflicting evidence.

NEGRO BAPTIsTs MEET
Echoes of Dissension at Chicago
 Heard at Rosedale Meeting

Echoes of the Chicago meeting of the
 National Negro Baptist convention and
 the big fight which disrupted the meet ing In Illinois were heard last night when the forty-frst annual session or the Mt. Pilgrim Missionary Baptist as- sociation convened at the Union Baptist
 church at Rosedale. More than 500
 delegates. representing the negro Bap- tlsts in the district, were in attend ance.
 As will be recalled. at the meeting the national convention in Chicago split into two factions. the question at
 issue being the ownership of the Ma tional Negro Baptist Publishing house at Nashville. The Alabama delegation sided with the Morris faction, or that faction seeking to assert the authority of the convention over the publishing house. The support of their constitu- ents was by no means unanimous. The matter was reopened at the meet ing last night and lines were closely drawn on every point. Considerable feeling was manifested and the negro Baptists of the district are considerably agitated over the matter
 The sharpest division came over the question of the election of a moderator. The Morris faction, by majority of . the Rev. S. M. Hall moderator over the Rev. J. W. Goodgame. pastor of the Six teenth Street Baptist church, an ad- herent of the Boyd faction.
 |, Hall in a speech following his elec- tion as moderator, advised negro .Bap- lists of Birmin gham to cease to patron | ixe the national publishing house ana to purchase literature and supplies from the American Baptist Publishins ! house. owned by white people, until such time as the national convention established house of It's own.
 ] The session will continue through Fri
 day night, during which time many ne
 groes prominent in the Baptist church will speak. among them being Presi-
 dent w. M. Gilbert, president of Selma
 university. who speaks Thursday after noon; pr. J. Fl. Easof, president of the State Baptist convention: pr. J. w Goodgame. who speaks onx Education tonight; w. B. Driver, president of the Baptist Laymen'a Movement of the state of Alabama and number of oth- era .s z.f1 f

BIG COMBINATION OF
 STEEL COMPANIES IS
 REPORTED PENDING
tContinued from Page one)

struction in Europe as the result of which there should be large demand for Amer ican steel products, it was said in steel circles today. Such a motive. combined with the more immediate demand for ord nance and other steel products which the war itself has created, governs the pro- motors in their efforts to bring together the smaller steel concerns in order to reap the benefit, through the economies of large organizations of the prospective 1n- crease in trade.
 In Wall street gossip the names of Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Beth- lehem Steel corporation, and H. c. Prick, who Is understood to have large interest in, together with an option on. stock of the Cambria Steel company, were linked today as rivals of William B. Co., rey and his associates, who have just acquired control of the Midvale Steel com pany and increased it's capital stock to $100. .000, ,0OO This gossip was strengthened by an authoritative statement explaining that MT. Corey and MT. Schwab were in no wise cooperating and that the rumor that the Bethlehem and Mdvale would combine had no basis.
 Price Consideration
 The negotiations between the Pennsyl- vania and Bethlehem interests today dealt with the subject of the price, it was un- derstood. at which the Pennsylvania rail- road which owns a 54 per cent interest in the Pennsylvania Steel company, would relinquish it's holdings. The conferees, who met at MT. Schwab's office, included E. T. Stotesbury. head of the Morgan Banking house in Philadelphia, and di- rector in the Pennsylvania Steel company; Henry Tatnall, vice president of the Penn sylvania rairoad; William H. Danner, chairman of the Pennsylvania Steel com pany and several directors of the Beth- lehem company. None would discuss the deliberations except to say that nothing had been decided.
 MT. Danner is president also of the Cambria Steel company, which is like wise controlled by the Pennsylvania rail road system. He Is understood to hold for H. c. Prick an option on the Penn sylvania holdings of Cambria Steel. All though 1t was learned that this option had not as yet been exercised, it was generally believed MT. Prick was con- cerned in the negotiations for the control of the company which are known to be pending.

THE WAR AT A GLANCE

 Russia's ultimatum to Bulgaria re- mains unanswered. The crown coun- ell of that state is reported to have discussed for several hours the terms of the ultimatum without reaching a decision
 London takes it for granted that the policy of King Ferdinand and his ministers is so shaped as to favor the central powers: but strong opposition to participation in the war has de- veloped in Sofia.
 The Bulgarian premier, M. Rados- locoff. has declared, according to a Berlin newspaper: We confront war and must defend our national inter- ests. We must wrest from our ene- mics everything they took from us two years ago."

MEASURES TO CURB SPECULATION IN WAR STOCKS TAKEN ON NEW YORK EXCHANGE
scontinued from Page one,

<Continued from Page Onel there are many more brokers who will trade in such stocks only for cash.
 So hollow and nervous has been the market during the past few million-share days, due almost entirely to speculation in the war stocks that 1t has responded violently even to rumors of bad news. An unconfirmed report today, for instance, that an American warship had hit a mine scattered values in these specialties.
 A continuance of this condition, it is feared, may result in a general collapse, which would carry down stable invest ment values and it is to avoid this that today's action was taken and other action contemplated.

Gadsden boosters point out that excellent rail- road facilities and first class hotel ac- commodations make the city an ideal place for the gathering of the old sol diers. The Selma camp has not yet voiced choice, but 1t is possible that its support will be thrown to the Eto- wah county metropolis.

 Has a parasite made it's appearance in the south for the purpose of de- stroying the boil weevil? This is the question being asked by Dallas county farmers since the return of R. F.
