245 PRISONERS ON BOARD STEAMER ARE
 RELEASED AND LAND
 ON AMERICAN SOIL
(Continued from Page One)


 1914, for the imperial navy and com manded by Capt Count Dohna. All of the captured shippers agree, however, that the raider is a converted merchant man of about 5000 tons named Ponga.
 Owing to the state of war between the two countries the British and German representatives were placed in different rooms. Perhaps it was the first time ii History that diplomatic exchanges took place in the business offices of steam ship companies. Hamilton would talk first with one side and then the other, Gashing back and forth between two of fices, around the hall from each other, exchanging views of the enemies as to whom should be permitted to land. The names of various persons were written on slips of paper and passed from one office to another. Finally the selected list was agreed upon and the British rep resentatives left for the boat in a launch to bring the English delegation ashore flor a conference" it was explained, with the English consul.
 The launch landed at a dock seldom used and the passengers hurried toward the hotel for conference with the con- sul But the conference was not the thing that attracted them to the hotel the most. They wanted something more substantial and less salty to eat than kippered her ring and crackers. And they got it, too. That is they did when they had changed their English money bank notes into American money. Five-pound notes were selling rapidly at s4.e0 in the hotel lobby a few minutes after the launch arrived and they could have been obtained for less without trouble.

lieved in God and that he was so
 cialist MT. Collins replied in sub-
 stance: 'You may call yourself so-
 cialist but if you believe in God it is
 evident that you do not know what
 socialism is. You cannot be both-a
 believer in God and socialist. Do not
 take the definition of socialism from
 the man on the street. Go to the
 books; to the recognized leaders of socialism You will find that if you be- lieve in God you are not socialist" Asked if the Industrial Workers of the World were socialists, the lecturer re- piled: ''Yes. they are the unhypocritical socialsts-the rough necks' as distin- guished from the intellient socialists. They want to start a revolution at once. The intellectual leaders want to hold off a while longer"
 Another man in the audience asked if Louis D. Brandeis was socialist. The answer was an emphatic "No" MT. Col lins said he had known MT. Brandeis well for F years. He regarded him as one of the ablest and most unselfish men in tfis country said that there has not been the least tendency in him toward socialism; that he was no more of a so- cialist than President Wilson himself. Judge Oscar R. Hundley, state deputy
 of the Knights of Columbus, presided and introduced MT. Collins. Everything
 passed off in the best of humor. MT Col lins' repartee was ready and telling and provoked laughter, but it never was of the sort to sting. People who attended the lecture spoke of 1t as eloquent and illum-
 mating.

COLLINS SPEAKS ID LARGE AUDIENCE
 AT THE JEFFERSON

Peter Collins of Massachusetts was greeted by a large audience at the Jefferson theatre last night when he delivered his popular lecture, What's Wrong With the World?" Ladies oc- cupied seats in the boxes and few were seated in the parquet, but the great part of the crowd was made up of men.
 Although the lecture was delivered under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus, the well known Catholic or ganization, MT. Collins treated his theme in a general way along the lines of Christian democracy and social re- form distinguished from socialism and the listener might not have discovered whether he was a Catholic or Pro- testant. Being a labor unionist and a leader in social reform work he spoke feelingly of the wage workers and con- tended that the interests of capital and labor could be and should be harmon : iZed.
 He stressed the idea that Christian democracy was constructive, while so- c(llism was revolutionary and de- structive. This revolutionary tendency was one of the things that was wrong with the world. Among other things wrong with the world were insanitary
 
 and inadequate laws for the protection of those who toll in mills and fac tories
 In summing up MT. Collins pictured the true American as the man who had love for God and love for country. He said the man who loved God would love his neighbor and love his country.
 After the set lecture MT. Collins said he would be glad to have anyone in the audience ask him questions. One of the first to respond to that invitation was a lady who sought information about the Illinois law which MT. Col lins had helped to frame regarding the comforts which must be provided in stores for salesgirls. Many questions were asked by men in the audience, most of them bearing on socialism.
 Mrs Collins explained that socialism had no relation to the government own ership of public utilities; that social ism was a philosophy of collectivism collective ownership as distin- guished from individual or government ownership; that it was a philosophy accepting the theory of materialism that socialism denied the existence of a supreme being. A young man in the audience arose and said that he be-

Dr. Bingham of Tuscaloosa Saws Tanlac Is Produc-
 ing Remarkable Results

The following letter from pr. William k. Bingham, president of the state board of pharmacy of Alabama, is probably the first indorsement ever given pro- prietary medicine by an official of this department of a state government, and the same is sufficient answer to anyone who doubts the high esteem in which Tanlac IS held by leading druggists ev- anywhere. Dr. Binghams letter follows:
 Tuscaloosa, Ala, Jan. 21, 1916. MT. G. F. Willis,
 Atlanta, Ga:
 Dear MT. Willis-In reply to yours of recent date, I am pleased to advise that the Bingham Drug company has never handled anything that even approached Tanac in popularity. We have sold 110O bottles since securing the agency, and it is going here at the rae of 300 bottles per month
 Everyone here who has used Tanlac speaks of it in the very highest terms, and the repeat orders from those who have used it are remarkably numerous and show conclusively that it is giving great satisfaction. It is the talk of the town, and everybody seems anxious to recommend it to his neighbors
 I have been interested in it as a medi- cine and have observed the satisfac- tory use of Tanlac and a number of local cases of chronic disorders. You could get some excellent testimonials here, for it has produced remarkable re- suits in a number of cases.
 We value our agency very highly, and can say that we have never handled any thing that gives as much general satis- faction as Tanlac.
 Our sales are increasing continually and I desire to thank you for the splen- did cooperation you have accorded us. Very truly yours,
 BINGHAM DRUG COMPANY. Per William E. Bingham.
 Tanlac Is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by the Eugene Jacobs Drug com pany and Patton-Pope Drug Co., It is sold in Ensley by the D. w. Morris Drug company, and in Bessemer by the Reorganization Drug company. North Birmingham, Walker Drug company, and Pratt City Gale Drug company.-Adv

As both governments concede she is a prize nothing remains to be decided ex- cept her disposition.

 to President Wilson reflected the fact that all over the United States business men without partisan distinction are ir approval of the proposition that sclen- tific tariff commission be created. There fore, regret has been expressed that in some places there is disposition to give a partisan hue to this proposition or to accuse President Wilson of Hopping. The scientific tariff commission plan was in it's conception nonpartisan. The committee which was appointed by Pres ident Farrell of the United States Steel corporation for the purpose of securing information respecting the necessity of creating a scientific tariff commission represented the republican, democratic and progressive parties, but the members agreed unanimously upon not merely the expediency, but the necessity, of taking the tariff out of partisan politics and dealing with it. for instance, as Ger many has done with her tariff-that is. to say, changing the proposition from one of partisan association to one of economies.
