NOT CHARTERED SHIP

According to the Newport News agents
of the Marina's owners, the Donaldson
line, the vessel with some 80 American
horse tenders aboard, was not under
charter to the British government as d
transport, but was engaged in her regu-
lar trade as a freighter and. carried horses
for the allies as a part of her general
cargo. Under such circumstances she
would be entitled to all the immunlties
of any other belligerent owned merchant
man, and an enemy destroying her and
her contraband cargo would be required
to make due provision for the safety OF
the ships company unless she was sunk
in the act of attempting to escape.
Apparently all depends upon the accu-
racy of the first reports whether the
Marina actually was attacked without
warning or whether she is to be recorded
as only another of the scores of British
carriers that have gone to the bottom
as the result of their shippers desperate
efforts to Outrun enemy shells

A POPULAR DEMAND

l.. q. Weber, southern representative
of the Brunswick Bake Collender COM
pany, says he is in favor of the golf
course. And so is everyone else / have
talked to- said Mr.. Weber. II just hope
we will have it opened for the public
within few months. When it is opened
there will be a popular demand for these
grounds by the people. Other cities are
no better than Birmingham, there are
few as good. All of the cities of any
size in this country have golf courses.
We do not want to be behind and there
is no necessity for us sitting by and
waiting. The development of the Green
Springs land into a public park for the
people appeals to me strongly
r. S. Douglas. manager of the Jefferson
theatre, says let the people have what
they want. They seem to want this golf
course and if they do they should have
it," he said. 1.-THE land belongs to the
city. This means that every citizen has
an interest in this land. When a golf
course is built this land will be valuable
to every citizen. 1t should be converted
into golf course for the people, and
| believe that is being done as fast as
possible.
f. L. Jenkins, district passenger agent
of the Southern railroad, is another in
favor of the golf course. ut means a lot
more to this city than most people
think" said Mr. Jenkins. THE golf
course means an ad for Birmingham that
will have much effect. Tourists win soon
learn that Birmingham has an excellent
golf course and that they are welcome to
play upon it. This means the tourists
will stop over here, take occasion to see
one of the most progressive cities in the
south, and at the same time enjoy a
game of golf.

those attributed to him by DR.. Charles H.

of weakening postscript from the strict

FROST WILL REPORT

Until a full report has come from
Consul Frost no step will be taken by
the state department. Frost is regarded
as thorough investigator and has played
a part in determining the facts in many
of the most important submarine Incl
dents, including the destruction of the
Lusitania. Affidayits of American sur
vivors are expected from him within a
day or two.
Most of the officials of the department
are inclined to be very optimistic They
point out that time after time first ac-
counts have made it appear that a ship
had been sunk illegally, and that in every
instance since the Sussex complete re-
ports have proved that no laws or pledges
had been violated by the submarine de-
stroyer.
Comparatively little Importance is at
tached to the case of the Rowanmore, be-
cause it is admitted that the vessel at
tempted to escape and only hove to after
fleeing for 80 minues and having her
steering gear shot away. There was a
heavy fog at the time, and officials think
it would have been easy for panic
stricken sailors leaving their battered
ship to have imagined that the submarine
was sending shells in their direction. This
opinion is strengthened by the fact that
nc one was lost.

PEOPLE NEED EXERCISE

DR.. Joseph Leland is another of the
numerous people who are in favor of the
golf course and can see naught but good
in its construction. 1.-THE cry of today
is for fresh air" said DR.. Leland. Every
day hundreds of people are told by ply
sicians to get out in the fresh air and
take exercise. The golf course is one
of the places that will give the people
the opportunity of getting out in the fresh
air and enjoying the natural exercise at
tendant upon the playing of golf. No
argument, with any merit, can be ad-
vanced against the golf course All / can
say is that [ am glad Birmingham is big
and broad enough to give it's citizens this
golf course
Joe Hill of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way, says he hears people throughout
the county talking and boosting for the
golf course at Green Springs. And
when you hear lot of people in differ
ent sections of the county talking about
the municipal golf course, or any other
project, you may be sure they are for it,
and ready to do their share of the work"
said Mr.. Hill GAS for my part I have
never been a golf fiend, but l would like
to see the other people get out ard take
advantage of this exercise.
