 The departure of troops today is ex- pected to be a memorable occasion in the history of Birmingham Scenes recalling the stirring times IS years ago, when the troops from North Alabama left this city for the Spanish-American war are expected to be enacted. The seriousness which has marked the trend of events along the border during the past few days, and the general belief that war, actual and declared war. is but a matter of a few days, at the most will tend to mark the occasion one of seriousness.
 The companies and the batteries will be escorted through the streets to the station by band of 30 pieces furnished by the members of the local musicians union. Company B, commanded by Captain Hal stead, Company C. commanded by Cap tain Evans, Company K, commanded by Captain Jordan and the hospital corps, commanded by Lieutenant Ashworthy, will entrain shortly after o'clock at the Louisville and Nashville station prepara- tory to departing over that line for Montgomery at 630 o'clock. Company F, from Bessemer, will reach this city over the same line at o'crock and will leave with the Birmingham contingent.

 When reveille sounds. just as the first streaks of light appear in the east, Bir- minghams infantrymen and the hospital corps will answer the call for departure. All the baggage has been packed and loaded. Only the marching equipment and the dog tents which will be carried by each soldier will have to be handled today. Everything else is already in the cars.
 The two batteries will be on the march early this morning, although their de- parture does not take place until noon. Every officer and enlisted man is now on duty.
 The men slept on their arms last night and henceforth they will begin to see just what real military discipline is. The laxity of the past week is over The familiarity between officers and men is largely a thing of the past and strict observance of all military regulations will be enforced.
 FINAL RELIGIOUS SERVICES
 The final religious services for the in fantrymen were held late yesterday aft ernoon at Capitol park, when Dr. Albert Sydney Johnson, pastor of the South Highland Presbyterian church, addressed the soldiers The officers and men of Companies B, c and K were present and in addition at 1east 1000 civilians heard the address. The members of Battery c attended the services yesterday morning of the Independent Presbyterian church and heard an address by Dr. H. M. Ed nonds.
 Tn his talk at Capitol park to the infantrymen yesterday afternoon Dr. Johnson took for his text, Be Thou Strong, Therefore, and Show Thyself a Man." The speaker is himself a West Point man and his talk, which was of a. practical nature, made a strong appeal to the crowd of boys and men who are about to enter the active service of the country. He urged them to be strong and manly i'll their relation to life, and in their relation to the crown of life which is the Christian faith.

 MAY BE HURRIED ON
 Indications at a late hour last night were to the effect that the Birmingham infantry companies and batteries of ar tillery will be on their way to the border within the next few days. Dispatches from Montgomery told of the orders re- ceived by Capt. w. P. Screws, U. s. A., mobilization officer for Alabama, to get the troops of this state in order at the quickest possible moment as the call for them the border was urgent. Captain Screws was notified to work unceasngly and without regard to the number of hours he worked, to get them ready to move.
 Just as soon as the Birmingham con- tngent arrives in Montgomery tomorrow the men will be fitted out with full equip ment of all kinds for actual service, in- cluding new uniforms. The measures and sizes of the men here including all re- cruits, have already been sent ahead and several carloads of equipment are now in Montgomery at the concentration camp ready for issuance. It was announced that the medical examination by the United States army medical corps will be waived for the present and every man who has been passed by the hospital corps here is expected to be sent on to the border without delay.
 IN GOOD CONDITION
 It has been announced that another rigid physical examination would be held in Montgomery, but the fact that orders have been issued to pass this feature for time indicates the real seriousness Of the situation existing along the border
 While it is believed by officers here that the majority of the men now en- rolled in the various organizations would be able to pass the second examination as to the physical requirements, it was expected that quite a few of the men would be knocked out. While it has not been indicated yet whether the President contemplated calling for volunteers at this time it is believed that the sery- ices of additional companies which may be organized will be acceptable to the government within the very near future.

He gave to a number of the officers and men these pocket testaments and stated that a movement was on foot to see that all the Birmingham and Jefferson county men were supplied with these testaments. It is expected that other cities and towns will follow suit and that the entire National Guard from Alabama will be enrolled in the league before departing from Montgomery.

GAG RULE ON THE
 SUBMARINE ISSUE
"1ou May Not Proceed On That Sub- jcct," Member of ReichStag
 Is Told

Berlin, March 23, via London, A, 1925 D. mt is understood that the Reichstag will take a recess on Friday or Saturday until some date near the end of April, for the purpose of giv- ing committees opportunity to discuss the budget and tax bills. This ad journment will postpone the expected speech of Chancellor Won Bethmann HollWeg on the nations foreign policy. It also means, in all probability, the sidetracking altogether of the debate over the submarine campaign.
 It was evident at today's session that the conservatives were restive under the agreement to avoid discussion of the submarine issue in open session. Count Won Westarp said he was willing to adhere to the agreement on cOndi- ton that the matter be discussed all the more thoroughly in committee. Another conservative speaker desired to mention the submarine question but met with shout from the house that it was against the agreement. Even then he persisted, whereupon the president remarked bluntly: You may not proceed on that subject''
 The conservatives found an outlet for their feelings in repeated eulogies Of Admiral Won Tirpitz.
