WILL LEAD ID REVIVAL OF
 ARMOR PLANT TALK
Opportunity for Securing Such a Plant Will BeBright at Coming Session of Con-
 gress, Says MT. Bankhead

That the idea of preparing for a pos revival of the discussion of a need for government armor plant, and that during the ensuing session of Congress the opportunity for acquiring such a plant for this district would be unus- ually bright. was a statement yesterday morning by Senator John H. Bankhead.
 Respecting the construction of an elee- trical furnace in Anniston for the manu- facture of shells for the allies, the sen ator declared that he knew nothing He ventured the opinion, however, that the government would be concerned with the construction of such a plant in the fu- ture and that an inland community would be selected
 President Wilson, as is known the senator said, lis deeply interested in pre- pairing this nation for a possible war of the future. Preparedness as result of the Presidents S position, is the 1vest topic of the day. It has many angles and will lead to many developments. Now we cannot be thoroughly prepared until we are in position to manufacture our gunpowder and our arnor plate. Of course, the latter the government can buy in America, but can buy only after paying handsome profit to individuals Gunpowder, however. is secured chiefly from Chile, and were communicat tion be- tween this and that country cut off by an enemy, we would be unable to defend ourselves for any considerable length of time
 Tt strikes me that in all probability the government will go into the business of plate making and gunpowder manufac- turing. The time is ripe for the repre- sentatives of this district to get busy For Alabama will be the logical state for the government to invest in. We have water in abundance, and we have an abundance of raw material
 And every one may rest assured that the government, in the event 1t constructs plants for the manufacture of munitions Of war, will go to the inland. Plants on the coast would be constantly imperiled 1n the event of war"

Doc Yak at the MOuies

Every child in Birming- ham knows The Sunday Age Herald has the pictures of old Doc Yak and his queer adventures.
 It is with great glee they will greet their old friend at the Alcazar and Vaudette on Saturdays, for here is to be the permanent home of the funny old Doc in the movies.
 Each Saturday the screen picture will be different, just as the Sunday picture will be pew.
 Every child can have a movie all his own by cutting out the Sunday pictures, pasting them in a long line and rolling them on a small, round stick, cut a little door in a shoe box and put the picture roll behind. A penny can be charged for the show ing of several of these made at home movies and a whole nickel gotten together to see the show on Saturdays.
 Remember the Doc Yak movie pictures are at the Al cazar every Saturday from 9 to ? and all day at the Vau- dette. And then on Sunday he does a funny stunt in The Age-Herald.
 Don't miss him anywhere.

the new conditions developed by the European war
 While in Washington I attended the meeting of the Navy league and unan- imous approval was given the Presi- dents proposed increase in the navy. but the league believed that instead of spreading the construction of new ves- sels over a period of five years their construction should be undertaken at once. The sentiment among those present was that any real need that will arise for such warships as a re- suit of the European war will come within the next two years and that proper preparedness contemplates not only many more ships, but the con- struction of these ships immediately
 '"The sentiment behind what the Navy league stands for is shown by the rapid growth of the organization It developed at the Washington con ference that the woman's branch alone now has an enrolment of 10000 mem- bers.

BALANCE OF TRADE
 PRESENT PROBLEM

Vice.President Gardin of the Ma tional City Bank. in a letter to a Pitts
 burgh customer, as quoted by the New York American, tabulates as fol- lows the ordinary estimates of items constituting the invisible balance of trade" against us: Interest paid Eur opean holders of American securities, $500, OO,OOO: expenses of American travellers abroad. S4OO,OOOOOO to $5O0, GOO: returns on European investments in enterprises in this country, S25O. OOO,OO0 ocean freights. S3O0,O0O,OOO; insurance premiums to foreign com panies, Sl5O.OOOOOO; remittances by aliens. S1OO.OOO,OOO; expenditures of expatriated Americans abroad, S20O, 100000. Our surplus of exports over imports in one year to July 1, 1914, S6S5,OOO,OOO, leaves a shortage against us from the above total of S1,3O0,O0O, 900.
 For ten months of this fiscal year the excesses of exports is SS50OOO.- GOO. A number of invisible items fall away at present, notably expenses of tourists, freights, insurance and alien remittances. and there remains prin- cipally the expenditure of expatriat- ed Americans, itself reduced "The question uppermost in our minds isl how Europe is going to pay for the enormous exportation of merchandise says Mir. Cardin. adding:
 "It is a matter that is giving us bankers a great deal of concern, and its effects are already evident in the exchanges Italian exchange is at a discount at 15 per cent; German ex- change 16 per cent; Russian exchange 24 per cent; French exchange, 4 per cent; and English exchange, 1i5 per cent The depreciation in English ex- change is due to manipulation and to small remittances in gold.
 "Gold is the only money that can be used in settlement of internation- al balances, and if the war continues very much longer-thus preventing the influx of commodities from the other side as an offset to our expor- tations-the probabilities are that the foreign exchanges will go an a much more depreciated basis. and l should not be at all surprised to see Eng fish exchange as low as 4.25 instead of normally 4:S6.
 "In other words, the amount of gold held by European nations is abso. lutely needed for support of their enormous issues of paper money, which. according to present statistics are only covered to the extent of about 90 per cent. in gold, and there fore the use of any of this gold in of foreign debts is thus ab- precluded
 ''This condition will last a number of years after the close of the war.
