 "Why, I am surprised at the news papers always limiting that the public service corporations are behind me in this injunction suit" said MT. McDon- aid. "They should really have guessed at the identity of my packers from the very start"
 "Who are they?' questioned MT. Bowie.
 "Why, the Germans. of course" laughed Mr. Mcdonald. "as. by embar- rassing the city of Birmingham the Kaiser hopes to prevent the building of munitions plant which would fur nish shot and shell to the allies. I reckon the city of Birmingham will not build a munitions plant or any oth- CT plant in the immediate future, and I am well satisfied with the results of the suit"
