OFFICIALS SAY THIS ENDS THE FIRST CHAPTER OF WHAT

CONSPIRACY IN THE COUNTRY'S HISTORY.

A Golden Jubilee

The Young Women's Christian as- sociations are observing today as the fiftieth anniversary of the organiza- tion in the United States. The first association was formed in Boston on the Sd of March, 1866. Today 979 asso- citations are assembling their members and friends in honor of this half cen- trv's "effort and achievement for the larger life of young women through out the land.'
 No institution combining religious and social activities has more deserved the sympathetic interest or moral support of the public than this which is celebrating its golden jubilee.
 The Birmingham association, now in the thirteenth year of its exist ence, has not only been admirably
 
 conducted from every point of view, but an atmosphere of home-like sweetness pervades it, and the noble women who have aided in its up- building have their reward in seeing the splendid fruits of their labors. The local association has remark able record of efficient management and beneficent deeds. Very few asso- citations have a more elegant home. It is modern and suitably appointed, and the association itself ranks among the foremost in this country. May it continue to prosper in it's God-given work, will be the wish of every good citizen on this suspicious occasion.

A Year of Big Pay Rolls

The beginning of new era of pros perity in the United States last fall was accentuated by sudden revival of activity in the iron and steel indus tries. Bumper grain crops contributed to business recovery, and before the end of the year blast furnaces that had been long idle were lighted up again and practically every steel plant in the country was operating at full capacity.
 Here in the Birmingham district, as in other iron and steel centers, pro- duction reached new high records. The demand for steel became more and more insistent, but that demand is being exceeded this year. The pay rolls increased rapidly in the last quarter of 1915, but they are even larger now than they were during the holidays.
 The order books of iron and steel companies indicate an unprecedented production right through the year and healthy activity well into 1917.
 The year 1916 will be this districts greatest pay roll year, and with the immense volume of money that will

FISH FOLLOW BATTLEsHIP

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Hounded by school of bluefish that had followed her 25Oo miles from New York, the United States Haiti, and unloaded company of United States marine corps recruits last week. according to letter received by Sergeant
 Frank Stubbe of the local recruiting station of the marine corps.
 'The waves rolled high" one of the recruits wrote Stubbe 'and for the first
 time in my life I realized the bigness or
 the ocean, the smallness of me, and the
 minor part I could play in the great
 scheme of things. Is there a life beyond
 death, I asked myself? If not, what is the purpose of my being? Why was l born? Pondering over this stupendous
 question staggered to, the rail, and after awhile was forced to give the whole tking up-together with some trlfies l had eaten for breakfast. As I let go or my feelings, big blueflsh jumped out of the water and gazed hungrily into my beautiful blue eyes. He was handsome fellow and I knew that I'd remember him if I ever saw hin. again. And sure enough, five days later. as we were en- tering the harbor Of Port-au-Prince, and while was again meditating on the phi loscphy of life, that same bluerlsn jumped up out of the water as II to de- vour my inmost thoughts. It seems that a school of them followed us all the way down to Haiti because of the recruits aboard who had never before been to sea-"
 Some piscatorial embroidery, was Stubbes comment on the letter.

Another Conspiracy Scented


 A fire and explosion of mysterious .r;c;n recently endangered the plant if the Providence Journal. The blaze ;s sa;d to have started in the office of the managing editor among some newspaper files. According to statement given out by the Journal +he room in which the fire originated had been unoccupied for two hours and it could not have been caused by faulty wiring. When an automatic sprinkler was used the water seemed 4o feed the flames rather than ex- t;nguish them. An investigation was made by the police who concluded that the fire was not due to an accident.
 Although little damage was done the loss being estimated at S20OO-the fire is significant because of the fact that the Providence Journal has been extremely active in fighting the al- lered German propaganda in the Tinted States. As a result it has been bitterly assailed by the German press of this country, particularly by the Fatherland and other publications which have resented the imputation that German conspirators are at work throughout the United States to de- stroy munitions plants, cripple trade with the allies and otherwise harass the American government. One Ger man diplomat, who was recalled be- cause of his alleged "pernicious ac- tivity," paid his respects to the Provi- dence Journal on the eve of his de- parture, to which the enterprising editor of the Journal is said to have replied by wireless.
 Whether the Journal was in this in- stance a victim of German sympa- thizers may never be proved, but the uncompromising stand it has taken aRainst German agents in this coun- try, as well as it's diligence in un- oarthing "plots," have laid it open to attack. Many fires and explosions which have menaced life and property in the United States since the begin ninr of the war have with some show Sf reason been laid at the door of I>fnan agents or sympathizers.

Longer Hours at the Libraries


 The city commission is to De com nended for it's response to the public sarr.nd for restoring virtually the old schedsle of hours at the central library and the branches.
 As a result of the city's retrench- ,,,or+ no,;cv the annual appropriation +o the library was reduced from s16 900 to S9OOO. This necessltateo earlier closing by two hours at the central library in the city hall and a considerable shortening of the sched- ule in the outlying sections.
 But after going over the ouoge' carefully the commission found tna' the library appropriation could be ln- creased s15O month, and while tnls does not bring the total up to the amount formerly appropriated, A- hrarv Director Milan will make 1t suffice.
 Next to the schools and the health' fire and police departments comes the library as a public necessity Ana considering it's slender income no H. brarv system could be more efficient ly operated. We'll may Birmingham be proud of it.

VICIOUS LETTER

From the Centreville Press.
 A vicious circular has been mailed out by certain prohibitionists endeavoring to array the people against Senator Under wood, because he proposes to leave the matter of prohibition to vote of the people of the District of Columbia. MT. Underwood is local optionist and be- lieves in his views, and because he fails to see like few men who have signed the circular letter, they are attempting to array all the people they can influ- ence against him. It is unfortunate for the peace of the state that certain politi- cal agitators must continually stir up strife and keep this issue alive in pro- hibition state.
 In the belief of a great many, this is done not so much to further the cause of prohibition as it is to advance certain men politically. These agritators should give the feeling of bitterness that was caused few years ago time to heal over and let the people have a little peace and quiet before agitating something that is calculated to again stir them up. The next election of United States senator is yet long way off. and they have plenty of time for these political issues. MT Underwood has made up his mind what he Is going to do and he is not going to be changed by lot of poli- ticians who have been always opposing him and trying to sway his judgment.

xR. BORDEN BURR writes a let I'M ter. printed in another column
 in which he disciaims opposi- tion to Senator Underwood's presiden- tia! candidacy in 1920, and says the opposition to him for national commit teeman is because of his being an ac- tive prohibitionist
 The prohibition issue should cut no figure in the selection of delegates to the national convention nor should it be an issue in the choice of national committeeman.
 Some friends of Senator Underwood sought to, and did, bring. out a can didate for national committeeman against MT. Burr, because of his sig nature to @ card Clearly and unfairly criticizing Senator Underwood on his position regarding prohibition In the District of Columbia Senator Under wood anvocated submitting the matter of prohibition to vote of the people of the District. MT. Burr signed a card severely arraigning MT. Underwood for this position.
 MT. Burr's card printed elsewhere practically says that he has been a supporter of Senator Underwood in the past and is an admirer of him, but dis agrees with him on questions relating to prohibition.
 MT. D. D. Smith, of Birmingham, is a devoted friend an4 admirer of Sen ator Underwcod. He has always been and probably always will be a SUD- porter of him.
 It Is unfortunate to drag the prohibit tion issue into this national commit teeman contest. It is likewise unfor- tunate to get Senator Underwood mixed up in it; but MT. Smith, as a candidate for national committeeman, will undoubtedly concentrate his po- Iitical work upon pushing Senator Un- derwood's candidacy for the presiden- tial nomination in 1920, while MT. Burr is so much interested in the prohibi- tion questions that his attentions have been and will be largely concentrated upon this issue.

MARY OF ARGYLE

By Charles Jefferys. have heard the mavis singing
 His love-song to the morn. I have seen the dewdrop clinging
 To the rose just newly born; But a sweeter song has cheered me.
 At the evenings gentle close. And I've seen an eye stiif brighter
 Than the dewdrop on the rose Twas thy voice, my gentle Mary,
 And thine artless winning smile, That made this world an Eden,
 Bonny Mary of Argyle. Though thy voice may lose its sweetness And thine eye it's brighsness, too; Though thy step may lack it's fleetness, And thy hair it's sunny hue; Still to me wilt thou be dearer
 Than all the world shall own. have loved thee for thy beauty.
 But not for that alone; I watched thy heart, dear Mary,
 And its goodness was the vile That has made thee mine forever.
 Bonny Mary of Argyle.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE POLITICAL
 SITUATION IN ALABAMA AND THE COUNTRY

where MT. Smith stands on the mat ter of pushing Alabama's candidate for the presidency in 1920 to the front. While Mr. Burr is in many respects an admirer of Senator Underwood, he naturally could not be as effective on the national committee as would be Mr. Smith
 The people, however, are the best judges and will select the man whom they think will be the most effective in bringing Alabama to the front in national affairs.
 Perhaps the prohibition issue will be brought into the selection of the four delegates to the national convention from the state at large. However, from a personal standpoint, some eight or ten good men have announced and the per sonality of the candidates will prob- ably play more part than their posi- tions as to local option and prohibi- tion.
 As 8 matter of fact, the St. Louis convention is to be mere ratifica- tion meeting. There will be no other candidate for the nomin ation but Pres- ident Wilson, and he will probably will have nothing to do but cast an affirmative vote for the man and the platform, which will probably be pre- pared before the convention meets.
 Four years hence it promises to be very different. There will be a number of can- didates and the Alabama politicians should place themselves in line to be unanimous advocates of Senator Underwood as our candidate.
 Some of the politicians and political newspapers in this country know no limit of unfair political antagonism. President Wilson is undoubtedly unpopular with the republicans and with some democrats but to print rumors that he will resign and to attempt to mess up the foreign situation in such a way as to endanger us to the extent of getting involved in the European war, is beyond the pale
 These are times in which all Americans
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-05

should stand together. on the surface, at least.
 The presidential election is not until next November Then we can fight among ourselves as to who shall be the next President But at the present time Prcsi- dent Wilson Is the President of all the people and should be advisd with and up- neid.
 The printing of matter which will lead any of the belligerents of the European countries to believe that the people of this country are not with the President in his diplomatic negotiations Is liable at any moment to bring about complica- ticns which would cause us to be involved in the European war and that, as we all know, would be serious blow to the people and the business interests of this country. It would mean the sacri- fee of lives and property for no good end We would not recover from it in generation.
 I believe we should prepare for emer- gencies but there can be no intelligent reason for our becoming involved in the European conflict, and no Ame~'"an cit- | o;+; uybo or be party to any acts to embarrass temporarily the head of this government, who is undoubtedly doing everything pos sible to maintain the dignity of this country and at the same time avoid par rlcfpation in the European war. The fight between England and Ger many probably means the destruction of one of these nations.
 In a matter of life and death and fight may be offenses to America. In such matters, President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing have amply proved tnelr ability to handle the situation. It is the Presidents prerogative to handle such. and he should neither be embarrassed by congressional candidates for reelection or outside political aspirants.
 Every American should uphold the President.
