 Breakfast Table

Chicago, March 14.-Henry Ford, who tried to bring peace in Europe, has car ried the idea into the house of his en- ployes, according to revelations made here today before Judge Dennis F.. Sulli- van of the superior court.
 The peace leaders rules provide that employees and their wives who disagree must hcist the white flag, obtain divorces or quit the service of the company and lose their $5 day wages.

 May revealed the idea of the manufac- turer that the workman who quarrels With his wife in the morning makes A poor worker all the day.
 He testified he had done everythine possible to reconcile Garter and his wife. but had failed. He said Carter was a good< workman and the company did not want to lose him.
 As l understand, from the rules of the company, man that is in the pre- dlcament that Mn. Carter is in now. will lose his position unless he is able to separate himself from his wife?, Car ters attorney asked.
 Exactly May said
 I'll give him decree,'' Judge Sulli- van said.

HENRY CABOT LODGE
 MAKES WAR SPEECH
This Country Is Not Prepared-Should
 Have Stopped Mexico Before

Worcester, Ma ss., March 14-"The gov ernment that does not protect it's own citizens cannot protect itself and will fail,'' declared Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, senior member of the foreign relations committee, at the banquet of the Worcester Chamber of Commerce tonight.
 The United States he said, 'is not prepared for war, and it would be we'll nigh helpless if it could not buy what it wanted in the line of munitions from other countries. If we should impose an embargo now we should cut ourselves off from necessary supplies in the fu- ture'
 Touching upon the Mexican situation Senator Lodge said: If the United States had stopped Mexico in the begin nlng when it was warned by the Taft administration there never would have been Lusitania disaster and the United States would never have had to send troops over the border

S5000 SUBSCRIBED
 BY MEMBERS OF THE
 REUNION COMMITTEE
Chairman Jackson Gratified at First Response to Appeal for Funds. Veterans Will Be Enter
 tained ROYaIlY

More than s5O0o of the funds needed for the reunion was subscribed by mem- bers of the finance committee and the chairmen of the subcommittees at a luncheon at the Tutwiler yesterday. Chairman F. M. Jackson presided at the meeting and expressed himself as highly sratified at the results obtained, this be-
 ing the first step taken looking toward securing the s25,000 which has been esti- mated as the amount which will be need ed for the reunion.
 Chairman Jackson announced that he
 would name a number of other general committees from day to day and would invite the members to meet with him in groups. The first of these groups will meet tomorrow morning at 10:3O o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce.
 At the luncheon yesterday, Jelks Caba- niss representing the Sons of Veterans,
 stated that the sons would raise suf- ficient money to entertain the matrons, sponsors and maids during the reunion.
 At a meeting of the housing committee
 yesterday afternoon. Chairman F. w. Dixon appointed M. P. Messer, Gen. John c. Smith and R. B. Pegram to serve with hlm on the executive committee of that body It was stated that 5000 letters bear ing return cards had already been sent out by this committee seeking to secure homes for the entertainment of the vet erans.
 T hope the people of Birmingham and I throughout the district twill respond promptly to these calls, said Chairman Dlxon. Tt will greatly simplify our work l if we can learn without any delay just | how many of the veterans can be cared l for in private homes. It is our purpose | to entertain each one of the old soldiers 1 in this way, and l am confident the reople will respond if they consider that this is probably the last reunion Birnng- ham will ever entertain. We must treat the veterans royalty, and I hope the peo- ole will throw open their homes to them 7 Arrangements have been made for the establishment of information bureaus at l both of the railway stations as well as
 downtown.

Traffic Expert Points Out How Trade Follows the Cheapest Routes, No Matter How
 CircuitOus

The possibilities for trade extension off, Tered to the Birmingham district by the navigable Warrior river cannot be meas ured by the successor lack of success which has attended water Transportation in other sections of the country, ana In times past, according to J. J. Jackson, a freight rate and traffic expert, ana con- mercial attorney.
 The difference in the conditions exist ing in the Birmingham district, and in other sections which have been favored with water transportation to the sea, is pointed out, and MT. Jackson claims the changes which have already come and Which are to come after the war closes make any such comparison impossible.
 While the United States will probably greatly increase it's merchant marine in the near future, it will not be so much for the purpose of engaging in the carry ing trade of the world as to enable Amer ican manufacturers to enter fields hither- to unknown to them, says MT. Jackson. The United States is merely preparing to prevent any other nation at the close of the war from resuming more than its just share of the worlds trade. His statement follows:
 Though the Birmingham district has shown some appreciation of the value of navigable Black Warrior, the appre- citation has not been so thorough and universal as the commercial value of the river fully justifies. 1t may be safely stated that the full value of the Black Warrior is not to be comprehended by a mere cursory glance; the effect on this district is too far-reaChing.

GREAT CHANGES AFTER WAR

"It may be taken. for granted that the world of commerce will be vastly changed at the conclusion of the war from what it was prior to it. As the law of trade is international law and inherently recognizes no political boundaries, it may be proper to surmise or remark on the apparently natural results of having ac- cess to the Gulf of Mexico by means of a natural waterway, the cheapest known means of transportation.
 From reports of merchant ship build- ing activities in this country and from the strong attitude of the federal administra- tion on military and naval preparedness, a mere onlooker is compelled to conclude that this country is preparing to take a more active part in the world of trade than it has ever taken, in its history. By this it must not be understood to mean the plain carrying trade of the world. This country is not sufficiently developed for that kind of investment. There are so many other more attractive invest ments. The merchant ship building ac- tivities in this country are in anticipa- tion of the demand or need of American made goods, wares and merchandise. Our administration is preparing to prevent any commercial nation from resumng

indebtedness and will not be expected to produce a profit, possibly at the cost of adequate service, to any individual, firm or corporation. The advantages of the Black Warrior river are for all the people, all the time, and at actual cost
 Another phase of the subject of water ways for which Alabamians should be proud. is the fact that the Black War rior is natural waterway and not an artificial canal. A canal of the same oepth and width as the Black Warrior would not be as successful as the natural waterway. One feature is in the differ ence in costs of maintenance of the two types of waterways It may be thought that the cost of maintenance of the locks on the river offset the cost of main- tenance of the canal. This cannot be true, because locks would be as necessary on the canal as on the river. For it is beyond all probability of having a sea level canal from Birmingham to the sea-
 Tt must therefore appear to the most casually interested that Cor whatever purpose it will be put, the Black War rior river as improved is the best that could have been obtained, together with our other natural advantages

DIFFERENT FROM PAST

''The possibilities of transportation by water-carrier at the present time and more particularly in the future should not be compared with the history and record of transportation by water-car- riers in the past The economies of large carrying capacities have been so fully developed recently that in this feature alone the craft now plying the Black Warrior operate at less cost than the craft that operated on the Erie canal in its most profitable days, regardless of the economies due to volume of traffic. The conditions prevailing today and which will prevail in the future-locally, nationally and in the international world of trade-are. and will continue to be, so vastly changed that it may be bit unsafe to trust comparisons rather than foresight.
 The paternal care of the federal gov errinent for this district in defraying the enormous first cost of construction alone n, arks the difference between waterway improvement in the past and in the pres ent. It means that the waterway con- cerned will not have to pay heavy in- terest at the outset; will not have to pro- vide a sinking fund to pay off bonded
