ing caution and exercising more careful supervision over loans.
 Other aspects of the trend of events across the water have furnished the financial community with much food for thought, The sharp recovery in German exchange is yet to be explained on plaus- ible grounds, while the continued delay in the loan negotiations between our bankers and French and Russians have excited some adverse criticism.
 There were times during the week when the tangled state of affairs in Mexico seemed about to take precedent over conditions. Mexican securities af- forded ample proof of their volatile character, yielding proportionatey more than other securities The plethora of money and soundness of investment de- mand were again attested by the sue cessful offering of New York city 1 1-4 per cent bonds ana the case with which other large financial undertakings were absorbed.

REPORTED CAPTURE
 OF U-BOAT IS DENIED

Berlin, April 21.-Delayed.)-(B Wire less).-"The story that the French cap tured German submarine which had sunk the steamer Sussex, is absolutely untrue" said a leading parsonage of the admiralty staff today. We know which submarine the French have. It was trapped sometime after the Sussex epi- sode and had nothing to do with the Sussex. We have no confirmation of the report that the commander and crew of the submarine were saved, but hope that this is the fact
 It was officially announced by the French admiralty on April that Ger man submarine was sunk on that day by a squadron of French and British warships, the crew of the submarine be- ing captured Shortly afterward a Paris semi-official statement declared that the prisoners fully confirmed infor- nation in the possession of the French government confirming the name of the commander and the number of the sub marine which was said to have torpedoed the Sussex. News dispatches from Paris on April 19 said it had been learned that it was the German submarine U-2S which was sunk by the French and British, at a point near the scene of the Sussex explosion and that it was the crew of this undersea boat that had given the information concerning the identity of the submarine reported to have torpe- doed the cross channel steamer.

THIRTY DIVISIONS IrsED

Paris. April 2S.-"Thirty German .di- visions have appeared on the verdun front up to April 22. It is to be re- marked that the German command seeks to carry on the action with the least troops possible. but keeps them at the front until they are completely used As fast as losses are sustained the Gefman reforms the units by means of endorsements and brings them back to the attack vixen they are scarcely recorstituted
 Tt is thus that certain divisions have Ieappeared on this front as often as three and even four times'

BOTH HOUSES CAUTIOUS

With respect to international prob lems, both houses are exercising great caution and no discussion has occurred since President Wilson's address re- vealing the governments demand that Germany immediately effect an aban- donment of it's methods of submarine warfare. Administration leaders are keeping in constant touch with the sit- uation both as to Mexico and Germany. but senators and representatives frank ly admit that the gravity of both prob lems thoroughly has impressed itself upon the national legislators and that they realize the time for indiscrimin- ate discussion has passed.
 Beginning tomorrow the Senate will take up the rural credit legislation. Seantor Hollis of New Hampshire will have charge of the bill, which, it is predicted, will require at least 10 days of debate. The Senate also is expect ing to have the Brandeis nomination to the supreme court before it for con- sideration before many days. The Ju- dietary committee will meet again to- morrow to consider the favorable re- port of the subcommittee on the nom ination. There is no assurance that the committee will vote tomorrow but a report is expected during the week.

SCOTT NONCOMMITTAL

San Antonio, April 2S.-Beyond the admission that the redistribution of the American troops in Mexico to in- crease their efficiency was contem- plated. neither Gen. Hugh L. Scott chief of staff, nor Gen. Frederick Fun ston, department commander, would disclose tonight the nature of the rec concentrations they have made to Sec retary of War Baker relative to future operations in the campaign against Villa.
 General Scott declared, however, that he saw no prospects of the withdraw al of the expedition" and it was inti- mated that the redistribution of the troops would not involve such radical action as changing the base of oper- ations or the main line of communica tion.
 General Scott continued his confer ences with General Funston today and while he stated that the date of his return to Washington was indefinite he conveyed the impression that he would not remain here much longer It is expected that he will go direct ly from this city to Washington.

THAT the people of Birmingham
 are still very fond of Charlie
 A Chaplin was manifested yester- day when "A Burlesque on Carmen" stretched into four reels, was shown at the Odeon Two, when from the opening of the theatre to the closing hour crowds awaited to enter. In fact yesterday proved that Birming- ham was suffering from Chaplin itis."
 As for the picture, "A Burlesque on Carmen which is released in four reels on the V. L. S. E. programme, it is not a world beater However, during the moments that Charlie Chaplin is on the screen there are laughs plenty, and on the whole it provides ro,licking entertainment for the 50 minutes the picture is shown.
 In the chief support of Chaplin are Lee White and Miss Edna Purviance Both of these players are clever and able fun makers and are responsible for much of the success of "A Bur- lesque on Carmen" although of course Charles Spencer Chaplin holds the attention of all the moment he jumps into the screen with his out landish feet and ambitious mustache. The photoplay of the entire picture is good.
 "A Burlesque on Carmen" will be shown at the Odeon Two for the re- mainder of the week. It will also draw crowds throughout the week. as seeing Chaplin is the present fad of the public.

 PREPAREDNESS DRAGS
 Preparedness measures are not nov ing rapidly. The army bill, amended iR the Senate so as to provide upward of a million trained men, reposes in the House military affairs committee, due to the objection of MT. Mann to its be- ing sent to conference on the ground that he had not read it. Chairman Hay of the military committee expects to see a rule established early this week which will send the measure to con- ference promptly. Chairman Chamber lain of the Senate military committee is hopeful of early action and believes international events will have a weighty influence in favor of retaining many of the army increase provisions of the Senate bill.
 The naval affairs committee still is working quietly on it's bill but any prophecy as to the probable additions to the navy at this time is guesswork.
 Democratic members of the ways and means committee had two meetings last week on revenue problems, but came to no definite agreement They are in clined to await the report of the con ference on the army bill before really getting down to work

CHILD LABOR PROBLEM

EmotlonaI upllfterS have always con- tended that in the south there is child labor problem of acute characteristics This argument was advanced during the debate in the House on the Heating bill. In comparative sense, however-and this contention was made during the debate-there is no child labor problem in the south. In no other secrlon or the country are there fewer paupers-and fewer millionaires-and it is primarily in the slums of overpopulous cities that there is real need for the patient effort of the political reformer.
 In Washington at present there is a school of propaganda which pictures the southern cotton mill as iniquitous-as death dealing, as a gigantic millstone grinding youthful bone and sinew into dollars for the benefit of the heartless manufacturer And yet those familiar with the mills at Avondale, Pell City Cordova and Sylacauga know that the environ of children forced to work in those places is as pleasant and health full as it can possibly be made, and 1t is a matter of general knowIeage that the operators of these mills have sedu- lously looked to the entertainment, edu- cation and spiritual welfare of their chill dren employees.
 BILL TO PASS
 Nevertheless, there is every reason to believe that the Heating bill, in its es- sential details, will be enacted into raw.
 There are in the Senate, as there were in the House, men who in the name of 'child labor would vote for any meas ure-would vote for the caption irre- spective of the contents of the bill.
 And in the Senate are men-as there were in the housewife are morary afraid to oppose any child labor meas ure of whatever characteristics-and men who desire, returning home, to exclaim without reciting details-"I voted for the child labor bill and my opponent voted against it.
 As result the Heating bill is in a most advantageous position

 Movements of Carranza troops near the border have been closely followed by General Funston and were report ed to President Wilson today by Secre- tary Baker.

 Practically all of President Wilson's closest advisers have urged that the troops be kept in Mexico at least un- til there are reasonable grounds for believing that there will be no more upriSingS along the hnrder

The next summer, he offered employment to all the school children who desired to earn little money in the vacation period With great enthusiasm, the offer was accepted, and for weeks, these youngsters spent happy hours in gathering, peeling and putting into cans the luscious fruit with which the trees were burdened. The business increased. The following summer, he em- ployed all the school children for miles around. They were divided into squads, the one picking, the other peeling, the other pairing, the other canning, the other sealing, and the other packing the cans into boxes for shipment.
