ANNISTON

Anniston, February 11.-(Special. )-The Oxford across the Horseblock mountain at Emory Camp is causing much interest among the mountaineers along the line of the proposed route, and it is generally considered that a road should be built over the route suggested. The mountain region which would be pierced by the new railroad is rich in natural resources and the discovery of general deposits of gold recenhtly is adding interest to the ques- tion.
 A story comes from across the noun tain to the effect that while digging a well a short time ago one man found a pocket of gold which was worth $1750, and this has already caused the price of lands in that neighborhood to be raised. Another report is that a deposit of gold and other valuable minerals has been discovered about three miles from the Eichelberger place. and the fact that several people are now securing options on mountain lands in this section lends color to the re- ports which are flying thick and fast.
 The city council Thursday night opened bids for the construction of sewers on Highland avenue, Oak and Orchard streets on Tyler Hill, but failed to make any awards of contract. Action will prob ably be deferred until the next regular meeting of the council.

BUSIEST WEEK OF

Bradstreet Points OutDraw- back to Business Activity

London, February n.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say;
 Another busy week, buster perhaps, than ever before at this season, is indi- cated by reports to Bradstreet's Journal this week. Speaking in a general sense, industry is sold up for months to ca pacity of materials is patent, demand is apparently unsuitable regardless of prices and the country Is confronted by an ex- traordinary situation.
 On the other hand, the situation in gen eral is marked by certain drawbacks. Complaints about high prices in many lines affecting profits are growing more numberous, steel mills are confronted with the problem of how to satisfy home con- sumers at much lower prices than foreign business commands; labor is restive, the year to date having been marked by many strikes, while the outlook as regards grievances of coal miners and western railway employees is couded and demand for pig iron suggests more or less inertia, which causes conservatism among buyers, who seem prone to look for price con sessions

Government Contemplates Perfecting Plants in the Birmingham District for the Manufacture of I'm
 plements of Defense
By HOLLAND

New York, February 11.-Hitherto the munitions plants have been almost exclu- sively located east of the Alleghany mountains. For some time those who have given much thought to the subject of preparedness have been advocating the establishment of plants in the interior which would be able to furnish the United States-free from danger from an enemy with munitions and equipment which the army or navy might need The agi- tation in support of this plan was begun and has been consistently carried on by Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manu- facturers Record of Baltimore. He it was who first called attention to the availa- bfity of the district of which Birming- ham is the center and in which Atlanta occupies a prominent place for the estab- lishment of such an industry as would make it possible for the United States in time of war or danger to manufacture implements of war for defense without fear of the approach of an enemy This purpose has now been recognized as one well worthy of serious consideration, and it is understood that it has the approval of Senator Oscar Underwood, who in De- 2 cemDer began service as one OI the OHlleu States senators from Alabama.
 /; Upon the personal initiative of a man. ufacturer of Chicago, A. H. Mulliken, d munition manufacturing plant is speedily to be established in Chicago, and when it begins to manufacture it's contemplated output it will be the first plant of it's kiEd-or at least large plant-located west of Pittsbuurg. Of course, there are in- dustries which manufacture commodities that enter into the making of war ma terial whose plants are located west of Pittsburg, but MT Mullilzens plant will be exclusively occupied with the manu- fracture not of arms, but probably ex- plosives, shells and munitions of that kind.
 There is an interesting story associated with the establishment of this plant.
 CHICAGO MUNITIONS PLANT
 Some months ago MT. Mulliken deter mined to learn whether the manufactur- ing company in Chicago of which he is a. member and whose output is exclusively certain supplies that the railroads re- quire could also make commodities which England and France would be ready to buy.
 For this reason he came to New York and called upon Mr. Stettinius, who is the chief authority in the purchasing de- pertinent of J. Morgan & Co.,, whose

 Finn told the. members of the council last night that on recent visit to New York he had taken occasion to acquant the Carnegie fund trustees with the de- sires of Annston in regard to the library, and his visit was supplemented by one from w H. McKleroy, who told the trus- tees about the lot. The Carnegie people gave MT. Finn information as to the method of making application. for S10,- 900 donation from the fund, and this in formation he conveyed to the city council last night.

 Weathers, who was also bidding for the bonds,< but failed to qualify, to the Se- curity National bank of Jackson, Tenn. to collect the $500 forfeit made to the city by MT. Weathers, but that the bank had refused payment on the grounds that MT. Weathers had ordered payment stopped. Mr Gardner Is of the opinion that the city can force collection and that the matter will now rest between the city and the Jackson bank. Judge Tate has been instructed to investigate the matter and institute suit if the city's position is well taken.

business Is the buying for Great Britain and France of commodities in this coun- try.
 MT. Stettinius was ready to learn what the output of the manufacturing com pany of Chicago of which MT. Mulliken is one of the owners is. He listened at tentively to MT. Mullikens explanation and then said that there was no demand that had as yet reached him for commod- ities of the kind this manufacturing com- pany produces.
 MT. Mulliken, however, was not dis couraged. He spent some time in New York making investigations and then went to Washington. There he was in communication with army and navy off, cers-some of whom are of high repute as experts. They told him that it was inevitable that there would be a very heavy demand for certain kinds of muni-

The ftdeth anniversary of the Young
 Women's Christian Association is be-
 ing celebrated this month and the oc-
 casion is being improved to call wider
 attention to the associations work.
 The following article about "A Ma
 tional Building Specialist is supplied
 by the Birmingham Young Women's
 Christian association:
 The woman who is doing most for hous- ing conditions of women and girls in in dustry in America today is not an Amer ican. She is an English woman, Miss Blanche Geary who gave up a musical career in London because she felt that teaching music to a sort of after-dinner society set of pupils wasn't a big enough field for one's whole and best effort. The problem of properly housing the mem- bers of society in less fortunate circum- stances forced to live in undesirable tene- ments seemed to her a better service. After four years volunteer training and experience in managing certain model tenement buildings in London, she heard from an American woman of the Model Tenement City and Suburban Homes com
 
 to America and see what opportunities lay in that field here It took her some time to convince the company that wom- an could take charge of that kind of work. but she succeeded. When she be- gan there were exactly 150 tenants and in eight years under her management, which included the repairing, hiring of employees, choosing of tenants and the collection of rents, the number had in- creased to 2SS4.
 It was in this work that the national board of the Young Womens Christian association found her, and came to her for advice on new buildings which they were about to erect When the national board was ready to add an economic and buildings specialist to it's staff Miss Geary was offered that position, and be- cause she saw in it an opportunity for doing for girls throughout the whole country what she had wanted her firm to do in New York city. Miss Geary accept ed. She is now the consulting specialist for the 976 associations on all matters pertaining to her particular work
 She is called on to help select sites for buildings, to go over all blue print plans, making such changes as she deems ad- visable for the work to be done, to ad- wise on building materials, cafeteria equip ment and management and everything pertaining to the economic status of the association. Her office at headquarters looks like that of the busiest business man. She has the regulation architects cabinets for materials and plans, and from the blue prints always spread out on her large work table, one might call her office an architects laboratory
 Miss Geary says the association wants to demonstrate the ideal family life, as far as it can be made possible, with large numbers under one roof; 1t wants to de- velop a spirit of independence and self government, and to grant to the utmost possible extent the freedom which stops short of license, that is, freedom plus

A LURKING MENACE

ities of Japan has recently said that it is vital for Japan that she aid China in de- weeping her natural resources and her trade, especially because the Americans are now making earnest efforts to secure large share of China's trade. is the first public hint of a situation over which some of the leaders in industrial and commercial life in the United States have ieit much concern. The hope is that the aoininlstration and Congress may so act as to prevent what otherwise may be serious trouble with Japan due to certain trade conditions in China.
 It should also be reported that busi- ness men, certainly leaders in industries ana some who have gained great suc cesses as merchants, are seriously con cerned over the action recently taken in the senate respecting Philippine independ- ehce In the future which may not he many months off, business men profess 10 see very great complications of an in- ternational character, as well as serious oisturbances in American business life should this action by the Senate be d,lpli. cated by the vote in the House of Renre sentatives and approved by the President

tions of war from the government, al- though these demands might not be made until the close or toward the close of the European war These army and navy men also were of the opinion that it would be of the highest importance that plant Of that kind be established in the 1n- terior, and knew of no more favorable point than Chicago. Fortified with this information, MT. Mulliken returned to Chicago and made choice of a piece of land which adjoins the manufacturing plant. Upon that land will be built a great pant fully equipped for the man ufacture of equipments of war for which the government at Washington will pre- sumably be the chief customer It en- tails a large investment of money, which has been obtained. It is the first plant of that kind to be established west of Pitts burg, and the fact that MT. Mullken and hls associates have undertaken this prop- ositlon is spoken of here as furnishing excellent proof that the government has no doubt that in due time an adeouate system of defensive preparedness will be adopted by Congress.
 Very likely other plants will be estab- hshed somewhere in the Mississippi val ley and there are some reasons for pre- sumlng that the United States Steel cor poration may have in contemplation the perfecting of plants in the Birmingham district so that these will be fully pre- pared to supply the government with nee eSsary equipment for defense

THINKS THE PRESIDENT
NOW is LESS BIASED
Comment Of German Newspaper on
the Reelection OF Mr..
Wilson.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. via London. November 13.-
President Wilson's attitude toward the
warning nations Of Europe Is gradually
changing. according to the Frankfurter
Zeitung. which in discussing Mr.. Will
sons reelection says:
"Germany's relations with America
depend in the highest degree upon the
future views and sentiments Of this
hard and ,self-willed personality, but
certain signs indicate that President
Wilson is gradually taking a more un-
biased standpoint than hitherto.
How does it happen that large cir
cles Of American people. including
woman voters. prefer Wilson to Hughes
for sentimental reasons? Because they
assume his ambition remains to keep
the republic out of the gigantic conflict
Of the other great powers.
Whatever one says about the vitality
of paciflst ideals we will commit the
gravest error in Understanding theiI
cellor Won -Hollweg would
probably shrink from being regarded
as a sentimental dreamer. yet he un.
equivocally proclaims the goal Of hu-
manity to be agreements and under.
standings That contrasts very strik.
ingly with the rude words with which
former Premier Clemenceau Of France
ridiculed Wilson as this more thar
fantastic orator.
President Wilson will have first tc
toward his plans. Only then can ht
expect that Germany, which certainl,
has not been coddled by him, will oc.
cupy itself with his IDEAS"

ment as Result of Instruction.

Lieut.. Col. Charles D. Rhodes, COM
mandant of the Mounted Service School
at Fort Riley, Kan, in his annual re-
port to the War Department, says that
it is believed that as at present con-
Quoted the class for field officers at the
school is very efficient factor in build
ing up a higher standard of horseman-
ship throughout the army, and that as
soon as field conditions permit the
classes should be continued and made
compulsory for all field officers. Lieut..
Col. Rhodes says further that exper-
ience has shown during the past two
years that many field officers who began
the course with some indifference have
graduated with a most enthusiastic
opinion of the benefits of the course.
and. as the senior instructor reported.
with increased health and rejuvena-
tion of spirit"
He recommends that all probationary
lieutenants of the mounted service be
sent to the Mounted Service School i'm
mediately after appointment for an in
tensive course of instruction covering a
period of between three and six months
the course to include not only the
subjects ordinarily included in the cur
rfculum of this school, but such ele-
mentary work as guard duty. drill
regulations, minor tactical problems
and the like.

both teams deserves lot of credit for
the earnestness and aggressiveness
with which he went into the play.
George Washington did not win from

was thought would be the case. There

real interest in either of the two con-

1t certainly is much to be regretted
that Georgetown lost it's game with the
