Washington, May 4.-The delicate
diplomatic situation which now exists
has its amusing side and politicians
are wondering today what material
it will furnish for the spellbinders in
the cominb national campaign. If the
country finds itself plunged into war
before the election, the Democratic
spellbinders naturally will not talk
about peace achievements; il war is
avoided they will make the most of it,
OF course the Republicans will take
just the opposite view adopted by the
Democrats, so that the situation is
amusing, to say the least. In ad

TAME GULLS OF SHETLAND
Each Family Has Its Own Flock ano
the Children Feed
Them.

There are many small villages in the
world that have only one street, but
Lerwick, In Shetland, besides having
only single street, possesses only
one tree, and 1t is not very tall one
either. There are no birds there. not
even a sparrow, but the seagulls are
plentiful.
The inhabitants of Shetland are very
proud OF their tree and very kind to
the gulls, of whom the children make
pets. Children who are brought for the
first time to see the wonders OF one
streeted Lerwick are always shown, as
a great curiosity, the only tree In
Shetland"
The seagulls are the sparrows Of
Lerwick, and as such they have a
greater share in the towns life than
the sparrows Of London. In the morn
ing you will note that seagull sits
on every chimney-pot. Seagulls swoop
and hover over every roof In town
The air is full of their strange. high.
plaintive, haunting cries.
Every house has its own familiar
sea-gulls and every street its own
band of them. But, according to the
Fruit Magazine. they never mix. The
children in each house have a pet
name for their own particular sea
gulls, and, having called them by
those names, they feed them every
day
Each seagull knows what is meant
for him. No bird attached to one
house ever seeks to eat the food scat
tered from the house next door. He
does not dare to do SO So all day
long the seagulls hover and call over
the roofs OF Lerwick.
The people of the town, II they come
across a little pile of rice laid upon
the roadway, step over 1t with care
They know that 1t has been placed
there for some seagull. And at night
the seagulls leave their appointed
chimneypots and fly gracefully away
to their resting places on the rocks OF
the Isle of Moss.

DR. EDMONDS TALKS 0N THE INNER LIFE Music Again an Attractive Feature at Lyric Serv-
 ices Last Night

Dr. H. M. Edmonds, pastor of the lnde- pendent Presbyterian church, took 'The Inner Life' as the theme for his ser mon at the Lyric services last night, his text being the ninth verse of the second chapter of First Timothy. The music was again delightful feature of the service last night, the special numbers being a solo by MT. Gillespie, Clouds Will Be Sunshine Tomorrow" and a solo by Miss Wade of Florida, "The Lord Is My Shep- herd"
 Dr. Edmonds, in his sermon, showed how each individual soul differs from all other souls, the sovereignty of person. ality making each individual an eXpres- sion of his own soul-a being differing from all other beings in dreams and achievement, each filling his own pecu- liar niche in the world, which no other could fill in exactly the same way. He said outward adornments are of little con- sequence compared to the inner life. The real man. the source of all endeavor' IS the dream within the soul finding it's true expression in the outward achievement. Without vision the people perish. said the speaker. There must be inward life and fire before anything worth while IS achieved.
 Closing. he related a story of the man who became great in the musical world with his violin, made possible by the sac ritice of his brother, who labored un- selfishly for the education of the talented one, who could express his soul by means of his violin, while the other expressed his soul in his love and sacrifice for the other. Cultivation of the inner life. the beauty of the spirit, said the speaker. Is the real and lasting beauty.

AV0NDALE ZOO
 VERY ATTRACTIVE Special Attention Being Given to Animals and
 Surroundings Now

Yesterday was a good time to take a leisurely invoice at the Avondale zoo, for the weather was threatening and there were not as many people orH hand as is usually the case Sunday afternoon.
 Perhaps that is why Commissioners Ward. Barber and City Engineer Ken drick got into the big yellow commis- sion automobile and sped out to the zoo to spend an hour or two looking into the manner in which the place is being conducted. The commissioners have long since realized that the zoo is one of the very best assets of Birmingham and within the citys limited means they have been trying from month to month to make more and more improvements in tl.e park, which is in it's natural setting far the most beautiful in Birmingham.
 The animals at the zoo yesterday showed that they have had much more careful attention recently than has been the case in the past. The cages and houses were all clean ad neat several of them have been rebuilt, and the sur roundings showed that care is being taken to keep the park attractive. The flower beds and walks have apparently been under the care of an expert and there is probably no prettier sight in Birmingham today than the great crescent shaped bed of pansies which is mass of bloom at the ECO entrance.
 Miss Fancy, as usual, was the star at- traction at the park during the afternoon, for no child ever feels that the day is complete until it has carried some pea nuts or popcorn to the children's own elephant

NOT COMM|TTEDT ID SPECIAL PLAN FOR
 CITY AUDITORIUM
Vigorous Campaign in Be- half of Bond Issue to Be Conducted This
 Week

The preliminary steps In the campaign which is to be waged in favor of the is- suance of bonds for the construction oi an auditorium have already been started by the Chamber of Commerce commit tee, of which H. K. Miner is chair. man.
 Attention was called yesterday to the fact that the city commissioners hac on May ?, when the bond issues were submitted to the voters, adopted unani- mously resolution to the effect that the commission was not committed to any particular plan for the auditorium should the bonds be authorized The city commissioners have an open mind on the proposition, and should the bonds be voted, as now seems probable, they will then take up the matter of decid- ing on the kind of building and the site they desire.
 The members of the Chamber of Com merce committee are calling the atten- ton of the voters to the fact that noth- ing has yet been decided regarding the auditorium. The Roden hotel proposition which has been suggested as a possible site for an auditorium and city hall combined, might be considered by the city commissioners, along with numerous other propositions. In order to meet the objections of some that the owners of the available lots would charge the city a very high price for this site it has been pointed out that under recent legislative authority, the city would have the right to condemn property for the building should the owners attempt to charge more than the property was worth.
 T hope none of the voters will con fuse the bond issue for the auditorium with any of the various propositions which have been discussed recently mittee, yesterday. No special plan has been decided on. and this matter rests entirely with the city commissioners. Should the bonds be voted, as we are confident they will be. the commits slon will then make thorough investi- gation of all the possible plans and sites. Then they will decide what they think is best for the people of the city and treir decision will have the unanimous support of the Chamber of Commerce committee, no matter what site or plan they may select.
 ''The commission put the sum of the bonds to be voted on at $500,O0 but should they decided to build an audi forum alone, that amound would not all be used. The city will use only the amount needed for the purpose after all their plans are worked out The issue is simply this: Do the people of Bir- mingham want an auditorium, and have they become convinced of the need of such structure? That they have, I am confident, as they have already voted for such a building by an overwhelm- ing majority Every citizen of Birming- ham should vote for the bonds, and then let the city commissioners, who are the duly elected representatives of the voters, decide what kind of structure should be built. Our duty Is to vote for the bonds-the burden of deciding on the kind of building and the site rests en- tirely with the city commsisioners'
