GENEROUS RESPONSE

That the generous response to the cause of illiteracy displayed yesterday by the Birmingham public was a manifestation of their general interest in the cause of education was the opinion of Commits sioner Hornady.
 II feel especially gratified," said Com missioner Hornady, 'in the fact that a good sum of money was collected for the Alabama illiteracy commission, as it is a favorable forecast of what the voters will do on the $2000,0OO school bond issue, which will be voted on June D. The peo- pie of Birmingham are interested in edu- cation, and I have no doubt, judging from the results of the illiteracy campaign, that the school bond issue will carry by a handsome majority

 Campaign Funds WORKERS THANKED
 BY STATE OFFICIAL Birmingham's Contribution Approx imately Double That of Other
 Large Cities of the

Birmingham displayed it's interest in the welfare of the state yesterday by contributing s226O.24 to the fund of the Alabama illiteracy commission, which was approximately double the amount given by each of the other large cities of the state on Button Day" J. B. Hobdy, secretary of the Alabama il- literacy commission, stated last night that Birmingham had led the other cities of the state by a wide margin Mobile having given S1100 on Button Day" and Montgomery $1425 after brisk campaigns.
 In Birmingham, according to the or ficials of the Alabama illiteracy commits sion, only cooperation and good will was found. Every one appeared ready to help
 in this great work, Commissioner J. R.
 Hornady, executive of the department Of education, was made general chairman
 of all the city committees. MT. Hornady
 took charge of the work, and had meet
 ings in his office daily with the various committees with the result that Button Day. dawned yesterday morning with all the workers ready to thoroughly canvass
 Birmingham, and as result nearly every Pot ooii hiOt AoWAtoWii Wy uVoH wore all (lliteracy button.
 FEAGIN GRATEFUL w. F. Feagin, state superintendent of education, when notified last night of the result of the Birmingham campaign, ex- | pressed himself as gratified at the spirit of generosity exhibited by the local public:
 T knew that Birmingham would not
 fail us,' said Superintendent Feagin, T
 have had experience in the Magic City | before, and l early informed the work l CTS that all we had to do was to en- | lighten. the Birmingham public as uo ! our needs and they would do the rest 1 especially want to thank the men and
 women who have so devotedly given the1r l time to our cause"
 l J. B. Hobdy stated last night that the ! splendid results achieved in Birmingham
 were directl yattributed to the co-opera- 1 ton of the various civic organizations
 and particularly that of the city com mission through Commissioner John R. Hornady, who served as general chair
 man of all the committees.
 l We can only speak in the highest praise of the results in Birmingham, '' said Secretary Hobdy, "as the funds col lected surpass our estimates. We want | to thank all the good women, the school I children, the teachers, the various civic I bodies, the city commission and Commis- sioner Hornady for their splendid coop | eration in our efforts to collect sufficient funds to further the work of eradicating l illiteracy in Alabama

gressional Record of Jan. IS quotes
him in this way:
Mr.. Chairman, l have always been
opposed to government ownership
where it could be avoided, but l am
prepared to make an exception in the
building of a navy and the manufac-
ture of munitions of war. We will
never get rid of the war cry until we
take the profits out of making and
building for war. Upon the very best
authority l am able to state that there
are concerns in the United States max
ing million dollars a day out of the
manufacture of war munitions. Beth
lehem Steel stock has gone up from al
most nothing to $500 a share. So it
has been with many of them. Human
nature is weak. We must not tempt
men. They are prone to praise the
bridge that carries them over. They
are likely to cry wolf for the purpose
of inducing US to buy gun. The
profits must come out of this traffic in
killing machines, at least in every case
where the government is the pur-

Rock River MusseI Preserve.

The game and fish commission of
the state of Illinois has adopted the
following resolution:
Whereas, The revised game and
fish act of July l, 1915, provides for
the taking of fresh water mussels
from the streams within the jurisdic-
ton of the state of Illinois for com
mercial purposes, and
Whereas, Section 81 Of said act, pro-
vides that the commission may for the
conservation of mussel resources of
the state prescribe areas in any part
of the state from which mussels
shall not be taken for such a period
as in their opinion may be just and
WISE
Therefore be II resolved, That this
commission do set apart the Rock
river and its tributaries as a fresh
water mussel preserve for period of
one year, from April 10, 1916, TO
April 10, 1917, wherein it shall be
unlawful to use any device whatso-
ever for the taking of mussels or
clans, and be it further
Resolved, That this commission Wig
orously prosecute any person or per-
sons deemed guilty of violating the
provisions of this act

The present battle raging around
Verdun is the greatest on the western

greatest German attack in the west
since the first battle of Ypres in No

the Germans is nearly as long as the
front in Champagne on which the
French advanced last September, the
attacking forces employed must be

ground gained compares favorably

Representative Dies answered Tav-

81 am told that the sailors on these
battleships require boots and shoes,
and hats and caps and shirts. Why
not let these Moses of democracy, who
seek to lead the country into the camp

What motives actuated the German
general staff in sending the crown

dous onslaught directly against Yer
dun itself, instead of as in the previous
attacks, against the northern flank of
the fortress, in the Argonne west Of
the Mouse, in the hope of isolating it,
are not yet clear.
Verdun lies in the extreme point Of
a great salient angle of the French
lines. If it were lost the French could
fall back, at most, to the line of the
Aire and have straighter line than
before. and the Germans would have
to embark on further attacks Even
| if they reached Aire, the Germans real
ly would be no nearer Paris than they
have been for year and a half past
