o IRMlNGHAM will entertain the
 1916 convention of the Ala
 A~ bama Travellers association on December 30, next, according to advices
 received from Mobile yesterday, where
 the convention of the travellers closed Saturday.
 The Birmingham delegation had a merry fight with Montgomery and some other Alabama villages before landing the meeting, but c. M, Tardy is d good fighter and besides that, Louis Adler was for Birmingham.
 Louis J. Adler was reelected presi-
 dent of the A. T. A. although he pro-
 tested vigorously against the action,
 and it was necessary for the members
 of the organization to revise their constitution and bylaws before elect ing him, taking out the one-term clause. This they did with enthusias- tic acclaim, and MT. Adler was in- ducted into office notwithstanding his protests.
 Frank M Bridgers of Birmingham
 was elected first vice president; Lewis Bemsh of Selma was elected second vice president; J. R. Oglesby of Mont gomery was made fourth vice presi dent and J. M. Bowman of Anniston was elected fifth vice president. Of course, A. Coke Smith of Montgomery was reelected secretary and treasurer
 of the organization.
 The meeting of the A. T. A. just closed was one of the most largely
 attended conventions of the organi- zation. Among the speakers were Congressman John w. Abercrombie,
 who spoke on "The Travelling Man As Citizen;" pr. W. H. Oates, whose topic was sanitary Measures to Be Adopted by the Travelling Man. Col. Charles Keller of the United States army engineers corps, in charge of waterways in this section, spoke on the work being done in that line. Capt John Craft, president of the Alabama Good Roads association, spoke on Good Roads" l.. c. Irvine of orange fame, spoke on "The Drummers l have Met" M. L. BXler, secretary of the Gulf Coast Fair association, spoke on
 What Sort of Boosters the Drum mers Make" John Pugh brought greet ings from the United Commercial Trav- elers and J. A. Carney spoke in behalf of the Travellers Protective association
 Bruce Kennedy, secretary of the Mont gomery Business Mems league, made
 the response for the A. T. A. Murray Ormand, president of the Mississippi
 Travellers association. of Meridian, was a speaker and told the A. T. A..
 how the boys in Mississippi did things.

Cawthon hotel. Purity" water was
 served the travellers, and they were
 unanimous in voting the convention the i best tLey had attended in recent years. 1 With the coming of the new year
 and it's promise of prosperity such as | never before was seen in these parts
 the men who travel out of Birming- l ham are looking forward to the largest spring and summer business they have | had in several years.
 | The boys will get out this morning to
 their territory. They are a little stiff | in the joints, perhaps for the languor | of Christmas is stil upon them. Practi
 cally all of the travellers from Bir mingham have enjoyed the holidays by | taking d complete rest. Of course some of the fellows who make their headquarters at "No. g." thought they were resting while playing dominoes, | but that can hardly be classed as rest | At any rate, a large majority of the | boys vii start out this morning and | knock the kinks out of their joints and l begin to send in orders, The business is awaiting them and they are eager | for it.
 The Age Herald wishes the travelling men of Birmingham the most pros porous year they ever had. And they will have it, too.

It is not spoken of as an English gov ernment crisis in the sense that it may mean the end of England's hope of tri- umph in the present war, but instead the situation proves that at last England has thoroughly awakened to the situation and

OTHER INDUSTRIES

In the southern part of Arizona and near it's boundaries on the west there are reported to be three mining industries which are working substantially to their full capacity One is copper, another is oil and still another is coal. c. P. Hunt ington constructed the extension of the Southern Pacific system along the west coast of Mexico chiefly for the purpose of reaching large and excellent coal de- posits, but since that time the copper in- dustries in southern Arizona have discov- cred that a better as well as cheaper and more convenient to handle fuel is the southern California oil. As soon as

is prepared to go to any length in order to mobilize her resources-men money and material. In this way some of the men of finance who have been associated with
 important international financing speak of the situation in England. They say that even if there has been cabinet friction, this simply means that all are seeking the best method by which England can maintain and increase her military re- sources and maintain her financial strength. One of these men of finance said this morning that it should not be forgotten that in the days of civil war President Lincoln was compelled to reor- ganize his cabinet and even within few months after the civil war began he transferred his Secretary of War, Simon Cameron, to Russia. Cabinet crises in days of great emergency usually mean an attemnt to increaSe strength.

ENGLAND'S INCOME

The yearly income upon English invest ments was reported to some of our finan- ciers who visited London to be approxi- mately $2,000, O00,000 These men of finance said upon their return to the United States that one imperative factor in Eng lands financing of war necessities and of her purchases in the United States was the maintenance of this income. One of the problems has been the mobiliza- tion of investment resources, especially American securities held by English citi- zens, in such manner that as much of the income gained by these Investments as possible may continue to flow into Eng land. But it is recognized, this man of finance said that in order to square her trade accounts with the United States and to maintain exchange rates it is in- evitable that use be made, if possible, of considerable arount of American securi- ties in addition to the sending of gold from England to the United States. This statement is believed to explain what to some persons has seemed to be a mystery associated with England's recent financ- ing undertakings.

England's Cabinet Situation Is Sim ply Effort to Get Best Men to Conduct the War to
 Successful End
By HOLLAND

New York, January 2.-(Special. )-Some- time in January, some of those who are much interested as investors in copper properties in Arizona will make an eXcur- sion from New York to that state for a special reason. They appear to me con- siderably excited over the statement which within a few days has been re- ceived by them that the new railroad which extends southerly from Gila, on the Southern Pacific railroad, in Arizona, will be ready for transportation business It is not a long road, being little less than 50 miles. They will visit Arizona to take part in the opening ceremonies of this road whose southern terminal will be within few miles of the Mexican boundary. But it will open up to conven- tent transportation and at reduced cost, the large copper properties in that section and will in that way greatly facilitate the handling of these properties, and pre- sumably further developments in that vl- cinity.
 Those who have talked with the lead CTS in the copper industry who have been for some days in New York have learned that the order which came from England a few days ago, involving the largest sin gle purchase of copper at one time, re- fleets more than desire i'r~~ ediately to furnish the munitions manufactures in England with needed copper. The copper men say that England does not purpose being again caught mapping with respect to copper. Therefore, purchases will con- tinue until at last England has a sufficient supply of the metal in reserve to meet any possible emergencies of war. This purpose is regarded, incidentally, dem- onstrating the fact that England has no idea of an early termination of the war. Other information which has come to New York leads to the suspicion or impression that Great Britain does not look for a termination of the war earlier than the midsummer of 1917.

FUTURE OF COPPER

These leaders in the copper industry are persuaded that after the war is ended and the demand for copper for intuition purposes ceases, there will continue to be a very large demand for copper for in- dustrial and public utility purposes. There are intimations that in the southern states, as soon as sufficient capital can be obtained, a development of the water powers so that the energy that is in them may be converted into electricity will
 lead to heavy demands for copper for identification purposes So, also, refer ence was made to the reported comments of former President Bush of the proba- bility that the Denver and Rio Grande railroad system will as soon as proper financing can be accomplished, follow the example set by the Chicago Minneapolis and St. Paul Pacific division, where 40 miles of the line have been electrified, with the certainty that the entire line to the Pacific coast will as soon as possible in like manner he confirmed
