MILITARY LEGISLATION


Senator Chamberlain is planning a
full program for himself. Not only
has he declared his purpose to work
for the direct, popular election of
President, but he is also preparing
to get behind a measure for universal
military training. The opposition to
both propositions will be strenuous.
Universal military training has just
been vo~ciferously condemned by the
American Federation of Labor. and
of course all the pacifst organiza-
tons will stand with organized labor
on this point. To these should be
added those who will object or ac-
count of the cost. There is small
doubt, however, that some kind of
military training which stops short of
CONSUMPTION and longtime service
with the colors would have a wide re-
spect.

Dr. Cecil l.. GastOn Named City Physician-Will Succeed Dr. Whelan
 on February 1

"When is a bacheor?" | This was practically the most exciting question submitted at yesterday after noons meeting of the city commission
 CTS. As Commissioner Barber, to whom
 the question was directed by President Ward, was not prepared to answer, the meeting adjourned.
 l The question of Commissioner Ward
 was called for by the fact that Commis- sioner Arlie Barber proposed to tax bach l elors $100 per year to exist in Birming- 1 ham. This proposed measure was de- clared unconstitutional later in the aft
 ernoon by City Attorney Ullman. l Dr. Cecil l.. Gaston, one of the well | known young physicians of the city, was | elected physician by the unanimous ac- ton of the board. At the request of Commissioner Barber, who admitted that he had spoken hastily a few days ago
 in relinquishing control of the office of city physician, the position was placed 1 back under the supervision of the depart
 ment of public safety. 1 Dr. Gaston's selection appar ently meets with poular approval, as was evinced by
 the many letters urging his appointment
 received by the board
 The board also voted to help Mir Henry
 Ford along by buying one of his ma chimes to serve as a patrol in Ensiey. 1 The horse and wagon now in use in Ensley will be exchanged. The summary of what was accom- plised or the Hist of accomplishments, D as Secretary Clarence Lloyd would say follows:
 Appointed pr. Cecil Gaston city physi- elan, effective February l, 1916 to serve during the pleasure of the board. Relieved I. Gluck of the payment of $50 forfeiture on bond, upon the pay ment of costs in the case on account of the fact that defendant has been rear arrested and convicted. Denied petition of typewriter companies to have license reduced. The following matters were referred: To the city attorney: An ordinance requiring the approval of the board of commissioners before any person, firm or corporation shall be aI- lowed to conduct a cattle yard, livery, or stable business in new, location or at a location in which such business has not been conducted within three years.
 To Commissioner Barber: Purchase of Ford automobile for Ems ley police department, and exchange of horse and wagon now used for patrol. To Commissioner Weatherly: Rent of building on school lot at Como sta tion
 The following matters went over: An ordinance to amend ordinance No. 337-C 0icense schedule) An ordinance to be entitled 'an or
 dinance making it the duty of certain male inhabitants to work upon the streets of the city or to pay in lieu thereof the sum of $5." An ordinance to be entitled "an ordi- nance to prevent evasions of the ordi-
 nances of the city of Birmingham for the promotion of temperance and con- cerning the sale keeping for sale. etc., of certain prohibited liquors and bev- erages, to reduce and discourage the use and consumption of prohibited liquors and beverages, and to prevent injuries and offenses to the public of the city,. All other matters went over.

PULLMAN DEFENDS DANIELS

Washington, January 2S.-Secretary Daniels was praised as "one of the greates secretaries the navy ever had, " and former Secretary Won l.. Meyer was assailed by Chairman Tillman of the Senate naval committee in a speech on '"The Truth About the Navy"
 Senator Tillman took MT. Meyer to task for his recent declaration before the National Security league, That the fundamental defect of the navy depart ment is that it has no brain and no com petent military organization"
 MT. Meyer forgets,' said Senator T1llman, If he ever knew, that at the time he left the navy department the service was nearly 5000 short of the authorized enlisted complement; that 46 per cent of the men discharged in good standing were then leaving the navy, While S5 per cent are now re- enlisting; that during his incumbency there were 10,360 assertions. MT. Meyer needed men, and did the best he knew how to get them and yet he left the navy nearly 5000 short. Yet he has the cheek to hold his successor responsible for conditions which are due wholly to his own shortcomings as secretary Every one knows officers cannot be en- enlisted like sailors. It takes four years to make an officer. Is MT. Daniels re- sponsible if the republicans in Con- gress failed to supply the cadets at Ann- apoliS to graduate?"

coast artillery supports and battery per- sonnel.
 TWELVE SOUTH OF NORFOLK
 South of Norfolk, he said, the board had only estimated on the basis ot the coast artillery supports, because most of the were far from the guns. Twelve regi- ments for this work would be needed, he said
 The needs of the Pacific coast he gave as three divisions in the Puget Sound re- zion; one at the mouth of the Columbia at Los Angeles and San Diego. Six di- visions should be held in reserve, he said.
 How large an army would these plans involve?" asked Senator Chamberlain.
 "One million and twenty-five thousand men to protect the critical areas" Colo ne Haan replied.
 Ships could lie outside of Boston, Colo mel Haan said, and destroy the navy yard, the state house, the Fore River works and the business district without being in range of the American guns, He recommended that eight 16-inch rifles for direct fire and IS 12-inch, long range mortars be added to the defenses there, all with range of more than 3O,OOO yards. against the maximum range of lS.000 yards of the present guns. Colonel Haan disclosed also that during recent navy maneuvers at Boston, the ships by new tactics to avoid the mortar fire succeeded to a large extent in rem dering the theoretical fire of these guns ineffective
