CIVIL WAR RULES
 GUIDING ENGLAND
(Continued from Page One)


 precedents established by the United
 States during the civil war are com-
 ing up again to be used for justified
 tion. The allies have found that Presi-
 dent Lincoln on August 16, 1861, issued
 a proclamation declaring that "all com
 mercial intercourse between the states
 in instruction and citizens of other states through the ports of the United States is unlawful and will remain unlawful until such instruction shall cease" This was followed by an act of Congress on May 26. 1862, authoriz- ing the Secretary of the Treasury to | refuse clearance to all ships where their cargoes whatever their ostensible des- donation, were intended for points Or l places in the possession or under tho l control of insurrectionists against th4 1 United States"
 In the British view, in these two acts are found ample warrant for the present action of the British government in for 1 bidding it's own subjects to treat or trade l with persons regarded as enemies of I their country. In pursuance of this de- termination, it is pointed out, the effort | has been made to discriminate in favor | of any German firm in the United States | that has been engaged solely in it's usual | line of business, if that has been of a l general character. Some of the oldest and I largest of the German banking firms in l New York consequently do not figure ! in the blacklist, even though one of them I is known by the British authorities to have purchased the nickel which has been loaded,on the German submarine Deutsch- 1 land at Baltimore, because that was in the line of their business. But where | firms are known to be actually under 1 German control; where the profits of their | business go to Germany, or where Ger
 manic firms or American firms acting as agents have gone out of their regular 1 lines of business to deal with Germany, l British authorities here contend no legiti- ! mate American firm corporation will be injured by the blacklist, nor German 1 firms in the United States which have confined their operations to their own | line of business.

DENT ASKS HAY TO REMAIN

Washington, July 2.-(Special )-Repre- sentative Hay, upon request of Repre- sentative Dent agreed today to remain a member of the House and chairman of the military committee until all legisla- ton concerning the reorganization of the army is completed.
 In making a statement to the above effect this afternoon, Representative Dent let it be known that it is the intention of the House to oppose in conference the action of the Senate in adding to the army appropriation bill the sum of $14s, ,295, GOO.
 In this respect, he said
 "The House appropriated for the use of the army S7O000,0 900 more than had ever before been appropriated. The amount provided was contemplated to cover every expenditure made probable under the army reorganization bill. When the Sen ate, to the unprecedented appropriation of the House added S14S, ,295 000-more than the war department, through machinery, devised in one year could expend-the necessity of the House opposing such &C., tion was evident
 "In order, therefore. that the same con- ferees on the part of the House who have fought out army issues with Senate conferees throughout the session, might continue to act it was concluded 1t would be unwise for MT. Hay to retire. He very gracefully agreed today to remain at the helm.'
 As heretofore reported, Mir. Hay has been appointed to the bench of the court of claims. His retirement will place MT Dent at the head of the military com mittee.

Foreign Affairs Committee of House Receives Verbal
 Castigation in Buffalo
ALABAMIAN ONLY ONE TO LISTEN TO TRADE
Followed Wild Eyed Trio Into Street to Give Them Hearing-Dent Asks Hay to Still Direct Passage
 of the Army Bill
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, July 22,-(Special)- )-The foreign affairs committee of the House, on its return today from trip on which it investigated the diversion by manu- facturers of the power of Niagara Falls, admitted that while dining at Buffalo 1t was verbally assaulted by a trio of social ists-an assault which was not transform ed into a fisticuff only through the pal Hating efforts of Representative Huddles- ton, of the Birmingham district.
 The socialists, it is affirmed having forced their way into the dining room of the hotel, charged that the committee, in addition to the crimes alleged to have been committed, was "a tool of the in terests," and as such, entirely antagonis- tic to the plain people"
 The committee resented the assault in kind, and practically every member, de- claring himself insulted, threatened to throw the interlopers into the street.
 At that point, however, Representative Huddleston interposed.
 According to a Buffalo paper, contain ing four columns of the sensation, the Birmingham citizen, declaring that he, by the allegation of the socialists, had not been insulted, instead that they be given respectful hearing. The other members of the committed incensed to the core by the manner in which they had been approached, declined to pay any attention to the Alabamian. Representative Hud- dleston, whereupon, declared that he would give them a hearing even if 1t were necessary for him to follow them into the streets.
 This course, it was subsequently, proved became necessary, and MT. Huddleston followed the socialists into the streets where, it is thought certain, they were given their opportunity to speak.
 While the other members of the com nnittee were admittedly worried by the deportment of Mir. Huddleston, it is taken for granted that his conduct will make him only stronger with his following in Jefferson county.

TIME BOMB KILLS FOUR IN BIG PEACE PARADE

 Don't take this as joke, or you will

 Kindly ask the Chamber of Com

DISTRIBUTOR TOB BE NAMED FOR DAMN
 INSERT ABSORBER
Newell in Birmingham to Place Agency for Premier Road Shock Absorber.
 Works Scientifically

H. M. Newell, representing the Damn Inisert; the interleaf shock absorber, was visitor to Birmingham yesterday for the purpose of securing a local distributor for the product he represents. MT. Newell spent the entire day here, but did not make any announcement as to who will be given the agency for the Damn insert.
 The Damn insert is a shock absorber of a superior type, and one that has been scientifically proved It works in a way that the average motorist would not be- lieve possible, and so efficiently does it work that an automobile appears at all times to be on paved streets, so far as jars to passengers are concerned.
 The Damn insert Is a combination of anti-friction and non-shock conducting metal, packed with graphite lubricant which possesses long life and the highest lubricating value. The metal is non- corrosive and the lubricant will not flow liquid at any temperature, being pressed into the insert by machinery. The ma terials of which Damn insert is con. structed are the best obtainable. Damn insert is designed so that 1t can be in- stalled between each spring leaf through- out it's entire length from tip to tip. # is held in the spring structure by the construction of the spring which Is fitted with nlbS and slots or DoltS ron the pur- pose of keeping the spring leaves in line with each other.
 The Damn insert absorbs road shocks, prolongs the life of the springs, stops the spring squeaks save the tires reduces the stress and strain under which 8 car is ordinarily obliged to labor, saves the machinery from the destructive forces of vibration and keeps the springs at their highest point of efficiency at all times, making riding a pleasure and relieving passengers of that nerve-raking strain caused by continuous vibration.
 A live wire distributor will be named for the Birmingham district soon and local automobile owners will have an oppor- tunity of equipping their cars, regard less of make. with this premier absorber of road shocks.
