DIRIGIBLE BALLOON
 FOUND IN MORGAN

New Decatur, February 23.-(Spe- ciaL )-Morgan county is all agog to- day over the finding of portion of dirigible balloon near Somerville. fol- lowing the whir of the motor of a mys- terious aeroplane which passed over this city, and was heard by hundreds of people in all parts of three other north Alabama counties. The machine passed high in the heavens, but the constant explosion of its exhaust was heard. Today the fragment of wrecked balloon was found, and this has given rise to many conJectures as to the fate of the aircraft.
 Dirigible balloons are not popular in some parts of Morgan county In 1906 when the Aero club of America was holding it's transcontinental di- rigible races, farmers in the southern end of -thea county started bombard- ment of nails, tacks, salt and bullets from rifles and shotguns. The unfor- tunate owner of the balloon landed near Birmingham, his gas bag pune tured by the rural fusillade. He was never able to bring the men who shot at the hostile craft to justice, although he made an investigation.

ELKS' MINSTREL SHOW LAUGHING
 HIT AT JEFFERSON
TrOubadOurs of Past Years Eclipsed by Efforts of Hugh Hill and Col
 leagues Last Night

Before an enthusiastic audience that packed the Jefferson theatre to the doors last night the eight annual Greater Bir- mingham Elks' minstrel show scored brilliant success. There will be another performance tonight.
 This years minstrel was for the Elks' benefit fund and for the United Con- federate Veterans. From the large sale of tickets it was estimated last night ti.at a handsome sum was realized.
 As for the entertainment provided it was of a distinctly high caliber It pleased and the prominent business men who as amateur performers were called upon for their various stunts displayed Il rare knack for quaint comedy effects.
 As a matter of course, the T. c. 1. band took first honors with. the T. c. l. male chorus, although that delicious tidbit of life on the high seas entitled "A Night at the Cabaret" had @ snap and tang to it that would have made professionals envious. Hugh Hill and Thomas R. Mox- ley directed this part of the pleasing programme.
 In the pretentious first part the song When I Leave the World Behind, by J. w. Bradshaw, found a sympathetic note in the audience as MT. Bradshaw was heartily encored. When It's Night time Down in Dixie Land,' sung by Dave Moxley, proved the Init" of the evening and this rollicking tune was whistled and sung all over the house.
 As interlocutor J. Ellis Brown served with the sang-froid of veteran, while the comedians, Hugh Hiil Thomas R. 0Ioxley, Alvin Keller Edward A. War nick, Arthur Bishop, Dave Moxley, w. R. Scholl, Rudy Gingery, l.. G. Webber, John Douglass, Hugh Bagley and Harry Erhart, served up laughter a la carte.
 On the whole this years Elks' min strels surpassed the efforts of previous years Things went more smoothly; there was finish to the performance-and a mighty good time to the audience Go there tonight.

(COnunueO rom Ha$e OhcJ gives the proposition his formal sanc- tion. As to whether or not this sanction will cause the adoption of the Jelks reso- 1ution at subsequent period, remains to be seen
 Here follows the comment of The Com moner:
 '"The Jelks resolution presents the true democratic policy, and ought to be adopt ed It will be remembered that the Balti- more convention took this position in the Ohio contest. The state convention of Ohio, which met after the district dele- gates were elected and instructed at tempted to commit the entire Ohio dele gation to the support of Governor Har- mon. The 19 delegates who had been in- struoted at the primaries, refused to be bound by the action of the state con- vention, and the national convention de- cided in favor of the delegates and they were not only permitted to carry out their instructions, but they played an inn portant part in the national convention.
 ''Ihe position take by ex-Governor Jelks is therefore not only sound, but in har- mony with the most recent precedents,"

COUGHS KNOWN TO BE

A persistent, exhausting cough is real menace to one already weakened by la grippe. It lowers the vital resistance to such grave diseases as bronchitis, pneumonia and pleurisy. Foley's Honey and Tar heals the infiamed condition of the throat lining and stops those hacking, exhausting coughs, thus re- lieving the strain on the system. R. G. Collins, ex-postmaster.

TENNESSEE CO. GETS
 1O,OOO-TON ORDER
Placed by Central of GeOr-
 gia Railroad
THE BUYING IS HEAVY
Railroads Are Placing Requirements. Effect of Horizontal Increase of $5 in Major Steel Products Not
 as Startling as Expected

Cleveland. O.. February 2s.--(special) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 'The effect of horizontal boost ot $5 a ton in prices of major steel prod ucts, announced last Friday, has been much less startling than would be the case in a market unaccustomed to the pyrotechnics of a war boom. The new quotations which are for future delivery at the convenience of the mill. bring to 2:25c Pittsburg. These figures are within easy hailing distance of that marking the summit of the abrupt rise that placed the year 1899 in a class by itself in the history of the American iron and steel trade.
 OTHER SHARP ADVANCES
 "In addition to plates, shapes and bars, other products have been advanced sharply within the past few days. Struc- tural rivets have gone up to 8 cents Pittsburg and boiler rivets to 3,10c. Light rails have been advanced s a ton to 1.S5c Pittsburg, covering the range of sizes between 9 and 45 pounds per yard Track bolts, which were 250c and now 325c Pittsburg and spikes have been ad vanced B a ton to 250c Pittsburg Hoops and bands advanced S5 in sympathy with
  course. No. 2S black sheets are now 269c Pittsburg minimum. Spiegeleisen has jumped to $50 at the furance. Nuts and bolts have gone up 10 per cent. On purchase of 20000 tons of Bessemer the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company forced the market down to $20 valley, decline of about go cents. The same concern purchased 5000 tons of gray forge at $17.50 valley, both grades being for shipment before July i
 BASIC ORDERS HEAVY
 Tt is believed the Bessemer market will shortly work it's way back to the $21 basis. The Portsmouth Steel com pany has contracted for between 30,OO0 and 40,0OO tons of southern Ohio basic at SIS furnace. The American Rolling Mill company is understood to have taken 25,O00 tons of basic for last half ship ment from Columbus and Toledo fur naces. The Scullin- Gallagher Iron and Steel company, St. Louis, has purchased 15,000 tons of basic and the Kokomo Steel and Wire company is in the market for 35,000 tons
 Railroads are active buyers and the Pennsylvania has succeeded in placing a portion of it's 25,000 ton inquiry for car plates. The New York Central lines have closed for 150 locomotives and are figur- ing on 250 more. The Long Island rail- road has purchased 5000 tons of rails from the Bethlehem Steel company and the Central of Georgia railroad has exe- cuted a contract with the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company for 10000 tons. The Alaska engineering commits sion at Seattle shortly will take bids on 5000 tons of open hearth rails and 1000 kegs of spikes. The Chicago and North western is in the market for from 3500 to 4000 cars and several locomotives"

Unpopular Before the War, They Have Amply Re-
 deemed Themselves
UNEXPECTED POWER
 OF RESISTANCE
Lion Almost Undamaged-Speed With Sufficient Gun Power to Cause Nee essary Destruction Now Cardinal
 Principle of Naval Strategy

London, February 1.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press .)-Speed, with sufficient gun power to cause the neees- sary destruction, is now the cardinal principle of British naval strategy and battle cruisers, an unknown quantity at the beginning of the war, have proven this principle to the satisfaction of every man aboard the battle cruiser fleet, which was visited this week in the North sea by correspondent of the Associated Press.
 New battle cruisers before the war were not exactly objects of pride to their officers and crews. On account of the voracity with which they consumed coal, service on them was not popular and a government harassed with demands for reduction in naval expenditure had no reason to favor these refinements of the superdreadnaught school
 To prove that the battle cruiser has redeemed it's unfortunate early reputa- ton, it is only necessary to point to the activities of this type of fighting craft since the war began. Battle cruisers brought Von Specs career to full stop, and they were the only big ships which SuCSSSuSu III S6llHlS llltO lu9 1NOEtu sea engagements.
 IDOLS OF NAVY
 So it is not surprising that these mon- sters, the biggest fighting machines afloat, are idolized by the officers and men who fight them. A squadron at the opening of the war. the battle cruisers now form the nucleus of Great Britain first line fleet of naval offense. There are many new ships among the light cruisers attached to this squadron, but virtually every battle cruiser in it has been "blooded'' to use the navys equiva- lent for the army's baptist of fire" and the sailors manning them show the pride and boise of veterans.
 When the mist lifted for few minutes as the correspondent stood on the con- trol bridge of one of the battle cruisers, the vastest fleet capable of actual offen- sive operations ever gathered together under one flag appeared in view. There were more than 100 war vessels in the fleet, arranged in sqSadrons with battle cruisers, surrounded bst their screen of faithful destroyers, occupying the place of honor, but with every section, down to the humble, rusty, but vitally neces- sary, eolliers on the mark for a flying start if the eagerly awaited coming out of the German fleet is signaled

Asquith Answers Questions
 in House of Commons
A DEEP IMPRESSION
When Belgium, Servia and France Have Restored to Them All They Have LOst--PrO-Peace Speak
 CTS Are Scarcely Tolerated

NeSS WAth O iACW QGHdlu 1Or the gov ernment's views on peace. He took up the gauntlet almost eagerly and in a bristling 15minute speech made it clear that the British governments S determination to carry the war to the end without compromise had not abated a jot or little since the early days of the struggle
 TERMS ARE RESTATED
 The only terms of peace Premier As- quith offered to the enemy countries were contained in the historic an- nouncement which was the outstand- ing feature of his speech at the Lon don guildhall in November, 1914, which he repeated:
 We shall never sheath the sword, which we have not lightly drawn, un- til Belgium-and, I will add, Servia-- recover in full measure all and more than they have sacrificed; until France is adequately secured against aggres- sion; until the rights of the small na- tfons of Europe are based upon an un- assailable foundation, and until the military domination of Prussia is wholly and finally destroyed"
 The prime minister's stern declara- t1on created 8 deep impression on all parts of the House and this found re- flectiop subsequently, in the Hobbies. The occasion Tor the premier'S pro- nouncement was a speech which Phillip Snowden of the independent labor party, injected into the debate on the consolidated fund bill, a routine meas ure providing appropriations mainly for interest on the national debt.
 TIME FOR PEACE
 MT. Snowden urged that the time was ripe for peace negotiations, main- taining that there was little or no hope of crushing victory on either side, and that if the war went on all the participants would be bankrupted in men and money.
 Mr. Asquith's speech in reply was followed by a score of speeches, for the most part applauding the premier's position. Two or three so-called peace advocates supported Mir Snowden, but found themselves scarcely tolerated by their audience. The only applause during any of the pro-peace speeches came from a spectator in the strangers gallery, who was promptly elected.
 Stephen Walsh, for the labor party, denied that MT. Snowden expressed the opinion of organized labor.
 'The allies cannot make peace over. tures," he said, while the tiger has it's fangs in the vitals of Belgium, Servia and Poland"
 The House of Lords continued today the debate on the blockade. Baron Sydenham finally withdrew his motion for stricter blockade after the earl of Crewe, lord president of the coun. cil, had further clarified the govern ment's position.

WATER IS RETARDED


 WATER IS RETARDED
 The southern flow of the water from the Buck Ridge crevasse has been retard- ed to some extent, it was estimated to- night, as bayous, basins and swamps were filling up.
 Kemps levee, reported to be in a weakened condition, was tonight said to be strengthened, and the danger of a break minimized to such an extent that boats engaged in repairing the dike had been sent to other points.
 The situation at Deer Park and Surget- Ashley, where all the land between the Tensas river and the Mississippi river levee line was reported flooded was to- night declared to be as serious as in the Newellton district.
 The Southern Delta Land company at Deer Park late today sent an urgent ap- peal for food to the Natchez relief com mittee, stating that no outside relief had come to the marooned persons there. and that local supplies were inadequate to meet the demands.

NOT AWESOME SIGHT

An officer of the Lion who went through the Dogger Bank battle said he expected that the bursting of big shells on and about his ship would be an awesome sight, but he did not find it so. The Lions roar was so great from her own suns that even 12-inch shells exploded on her without attracting any attention. This officer also declared that the cas- ualty list of the Lion was remarkably small in contrast with the material havoc, because few of the shells reached any part of the vessel where the fighting men are stationed during an action With the exception of the forward none of the turrets was hit.
 The officers and crew of the fleet look surprisingly unworn, and if they are bored by the monotony of the long wait between actions they do not show it. Leave is infrequent, and, as d darkened London does not appeal to them. the of ficers spend most Of their leisure in playing golf or shooting. The sailors are granted shore leave whenever they can be spared and football is their chief di- version.
