BIG NAVY INSTEAD
 OF BIG ARMY
Chairman of Foreign Relations Committee Declares Navy is More Important Than Army, But Wants Defense.

Washington, April 13.-Agitation for greater navy at the expense of army increases marked the last day of general debate in the senate to- day on the army bill. Senator Stone, of the foreign relations committee, made a plea for navy big enough to fight offensively on the high seas, defend American rights anywhere in the world, and Senator Borah charg- ed that the volunteer and national guard provisions of the Chamberlain bill should be sacrificed to extend the country's naval forces.
 Senator Stone criticised England and Germany, he declared they were equally guilty of offenses against the peace and welfare of mankind, the former because of "navalism," and the latter because of ''militiarism."
 While he deplored any program that could be characterized as naval ism or militiarism in the United States, the Missouri senator said he was for adequate defense and thought the navy was by far more import ant than the army. Both senators, Stone and Borah, advocated a provis- ionally large standing army. Sena- tors Tillman, Smith, of Georgia, and Owen supported the amendments of Senator Smith of South Carolina, and Underwood of Alabama, to provide for government nitrate plants to fur nish materials for the manufacture of explosives. Senator Owens op- posed permitting the secretary of war leasing the proposed plants to private plants in time of peace.

VETERANS FIRST"
 SLOGAN BIRMINGHAM
Various Committees Determine to Contribute to Comfort, Ease and Enjoyment of Vet erans on May 16, IF and IS.
Veterans first"


 This is the slogan that has been adopted by every man, woman and child in Birmingham preparing for the Confederate reunion May 16, 17 and IS. It has been determined by the various committees in charge of the reunion to contribute to the com fort, ease and enjoyment of the Con- federate veterans and no considera- tion will be permitted to stand in the light of that high resolve. The peo- pie of Birmingham that are to wei come the veterans perhaps for tn, last time have planned every detail of the three days for the heroes of 1o60-65. While there will be gay .ffairs and entertainments of many kinds for the visitors, yet the ambi- tion has been determined upon to center upon the men who barred their breasts to the cannons' merciless fire turing the Civil War.
 Plans that have already been defi- nitely decided upon contemplate that all veterans that are guests of the city, and by that it is meant depend ent upon the city for their food and shelter while in the city, will be provided with transportation during the parade. Mindful of the fact that many of the 5000 veterans expected to attend the reunion are somewhat feeble, the committee has arranged for automobile and automobile trucks to be used by the veterans during the parade. This will relieve many of the scared veterans of the necessity of tramping several miles, and will, it is believed, considerably reduce the number of those requiring medical attendance.
 The authorities anticipate that at

Little Rock, April 14.-At a con- ference held at Hot Springs, the off cials of the M.

 The road was represented by J. G. Sain of Nashville, attorney, and the men by J. L. Burlington. Railroad Commissioner Mcknight was also present. There are about 160 em- ployes. half of whom signed the pc tition, saying Many of us are with out funds. our taxes are due and un- paid, grocery bills and house rent overdue, and we must have our money"

PRESIDENT STILL
 FIRM FOR PEACE
Says Punitive Expedition Was Sent Across Line With Single Purpose of Capturing Bandit and Put Stop to His FOrays.

Washington, April 13.-General Funston made it clear in dispatches to Washington that Parral is so physically located that it is difficult to pass around it, and almost neces- sary to proceed through it to con- tinue south. Officials noted that all of the Mexican reports agreed they retired at once when the local of ficials protested against their en- trance.
 Tonight there has been no oppor- tunity in congress for canvass, but it was evidenced that having unani- mously approved by resolution the sending of troops into Mexico, it would sharply oppose their withdraw al There is no indication, however, that the administration has any such intention. The president announced that they were sent for the single purpose of capturing Villa and putting a stop to his forays. There was no lnulcaton IonlgnC that the preSldent had changed his mind.
 The Carranza embassy issued the following statement: "Eliseo Ar rendo, ambassador designate of the Mexican government, voicing the sentiment of General Carranza, called at the department of state to express Carranza's sincere regret over the in- cident in Parral, thus showing the lamentable incident was the result of the mistake by the American com mander in entering the city contrary to the instructions of his government. This can readily be seen by the tele- grams remitted by Mir. Arredondo to the secretary of state.

VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERS
 TO PENITENTlARY OFFICIALS

Little Rock, April 14.-Henry Shuflin, a well-dressed young white man, called at the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court Thursday and asked for sih commitment papers to the state penitentiary. After secur- ing them, he proceeded unattended, to the prison, where he voluntarily entered upon his term of service for the state.
 Shuflin was convicted in Miller county of stealing a COW and a calf. The appeal was based chiefly upon the question Of the admssiblity of an alleged confession made by the defendant Evidence was offered that the confession was made in the presence of the sheriff, the jailer, deputy prosecuting attorney, and the iailer, and that it was free and volun- tary. The stock was found where he said it was left. The court held that "the confession of a prisoner of the location of stolen property, though induced by threats, is admissible, when verified by finding the property where he locates it.

 INES SIMPLE PROPOSITION

Washington, D. C., April 14.-Re- cruiting for the United States Mar ines is a simple proposition apparent ly. For nearly three years the Marine Corps has been kept to overflowing with the most desirable men, and at times a waiting list has had to be maintained.
 The attractiveness of the life in the Marine Corps, which includes service on land and sea and in foreign coun- tries, has made the recruiting off cer's task an easy one.
 The authorized strength of the United States Marine Corps is 9,921 men and 340 officers.

least 600 veterans will be entirely dependent upon the city for shelter land food during the reunion. Arrange
 nents are being made to take care of 600 of the heroes. At the Alabama State Fair Grounds will be established the official camp. In the administration building cots vii. be placed that have been secured from the federal government. The build Iings are cool, commodious and it is believed that the whole remnant of the army will be safely and comfort ably housed there.
 It was planned at first to pitch tents for the entire number, but it was thought advisable to use the per manent buildings for no one can fore see the weather conditions and besides it was believed best to use the build ings. The cots will be equipped with fresh linens and all necessary ar engagements for the entire comfort and convenience of the veterans will be provided.
 The commissary department is now being formed It is anticipated that some of the best equipped cooks in the Birmingham district will be se- cured to cook the food for the vet erans. The department will provide meals every day during the reunion and will also arrange to prepare meals one day in advance of the off cial opening, anticipating that some will arrive in advance of the open ing days. The best of food will be Iserved The commssary department will be one of the best equipped that has ever served a reunion of the Con- federate soldiers.
 The committee on arrangements will see that the soldiers have every facility for social intercourse at the
 official camp. Old fashioned camp stools will be provided and the camp will be so arranged that company re- unions may be held and enjoyed by the soldiers without great inconven- fence.
 The State Fair grounds is easily ac- cessibe by several street car lines, and is on the direct route to the Bijou theatre, where the business meetings of the reunion is to be held The opinion is held that in fixing upon the State Fair grounds as a place of en- tertainment for the veterans the en- tertainment committee has acted very wisely.
