Following the British plan, the assistant secretary of war could well be assigned as director of the cen sorate
 Tn time of national peril and absence of legislation the President should at once direct a censorship of all communication by mail, cable, wire or wireless; if neces- sary declaring martial law to an extent necessary to effect arbitrary suppression of or communication of matter that might prove detrimental to national defense or useful to a possible enemy" The plan is now under discussion, it is understood, by officials of the war. navy and state departments.

Seryian King at Saloniki

London, January 2.-King Peter of Servia, who reached Italy last week from Albania, is said by Reuters Athens corre- spondent to have arrived at Saloniki on French battleship He was accom- panied by several Servian ministers and officers.
 in President Wilson's message, MT. Ford said:
 "I am against preparedness, as pre- paredness means war. No man will arm himself unless he means to attack. Even when he takes fork in his hand he is preparing to attack oyster 9 beefsteak
 Tt would be better for the administra- tion to find out first if the people them selves want armament. If they do, they will eventually get what Europe is getting now As to other features of President Wilson's message. especially with refer ence to trade and a greater merchant marine, we are all with him on that"
 At the request of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, Collector of the Port Dudley Field Malone arranged for MT. Ford a member of the naval consulting board, to be taken off the Bergensfjord on special customs cutter as soon as the ship cleared quarantine. Mrs. Ford, their son, Edsel Ford, and few friends went down the bay to meet him.

WOULD AVOID NORTH SEA

Copenhagen, January 2.-(Via London.) The managers of the Ford peace party today made another effort to avoid the necessity of sailing to The Hague through the North sea, with it's danger from mines. They urged the German minister to obtain permission for the party to pass through Germany. It is understood no decision has been reached.
 Although the Americans passports do not permit them to travel in belligerent countries, it is suggested that this point may be met by sending them without stop across German territory in cars with sealed doors.
 The managers of the party have decided to charter a small vessel for $50,000 to go to The Hague, if consent 70 pass through Germany cannot be obtained. In this event only the members of the party whose presence is regarded as necessary will be taken on. The others, including the college students, will be sent back to the United States from Copenhagen.

AGAINST EXTENSIVE ROAD

+. D. smith is not in favor of build- ing road that would involve a bur den of the county and says that mac adam road would suffice for the pur- pose. He said 'T am not in favor of building a road that would cost any, thing like S500,000. 1 do. favor the building of fine macadam road from Birmingham to the Warrior river and think it should be done. There is no doubt but that it would add to this olstrlct in many ways, and stamp Bir- mlngham as progressive and upto- date town, but I cannot reconcile the fact that it would be necessary to have a concrete base with a brick or some material top. This would mean the eX- penditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars instead of thousands and I do not think the county can afford it.
 "A first-class macadam road from Birmingham to the Warrior could be huilt of macadam without any great strain on the county. To do this, do not think it would be necessary to have a bond issue. Warrants could be issued for the material and labor and this would prove satisfactory to all concerned. I also favor the using of convict labor on the road This would reduce the cost of the highway mate rially and not depreciate the class of work if the convicts were under the supervision of competent foremen who could teach and watch them in their
 work.
 Between the two roads suggested in this mornings Age-Herald, I much
 prefer the Taylors Ferry road to the Short Creek road I think the Taylor's Ferry road would be the best for the reason that it is in better condition at present than the other route and at the same time shorter. I hope we
 will be able to put this project through and I am confident the rest of the citi- zens are behind the move. It can be done and should be done, but at the same time, it should be done as well as possible without the expenditure of a vast amount of money"
 GOODALL's VIEW
 R. M. Goodall said: "I am a great ] believer in good roads and above all I am heartily in favor of the pro- posed highway from Birmingham to the Warrior river. I say build it. If the county has not sufficient revenue to make it a good road, they should have a bond issue and allow the peo- pie to express their favor for good
 roads and an especially good one tc the Warrior.
 "I cannot think of anything that
 would benefit the community as a whole more than the building of the highway A bond issue for the con struction of the road as well the docks and facilities for the handling | of freight could be carried in this | county in my estimation. It may be possible for the county to build the road without calling on the citizen.

FEAR ENCOURAGEMENT

 'The only way that these suspicious can be eradicated is by the unions eX- erting all their force to influence their members to consent to this temporary process I have gone over your de- mands that the minister of munitions be given power to enforce safeguards in the employment of diluted labor and, although I see great difficulties, l am disposed to acquicese in bill carefully framed on those lines, provided l get assurance on behalf of your society that this will settle the whole matter and end the long series of demands and grievances which has hindered the car rying out of our agreement of last March,"

9l,lUU PROVIDED IN SUCH cases, plyOOO
against the club and 500 against the
manager, will be collected.
That disposes of the legal aspect
of the case. Now we come to the
judgment and tact displayed by the
various actors in the cast.
For the past several days there
has been incessant wrangling be-
tween the Cub athletes and the ar
biters.N The blame can be VaTioUsly
placed. Recently the Cubs have be-
come aggressive and have received
unstinted praise for their fighting
spirit. But, evidently, they have
slightly OveTstepped bounds.
Kicking on a decision when it is
close is the proper spirit, and COM
petent Umpires do not take serious
ly the complaints of a player, know
ing it is human nature to object I'M
der such circumstances Some of
the local athletes, however, have
made it a habit to kick on every de-
cision rendered by Byron and Quig-
ley, even grabbing when to the spec
tators there was nothing questiOna-
bic about the result. This happened
twice in the early stages of yester-
days battle, Otto Knabe each time
doing the criticising.
This, naturally, infIames the fans,
who usually support a home player
under such conditions. Then they
begin to ride" the umpire, and he,
being human, does not have any love
for the player who gets him in bad.
That must certainly cause him to act
more hastily in case of further argu-
ments than he otherwise would.
An umpire is a workingman, try
ing to earn a living, just like any one
else.
So we must conclude that the Cubs
recently have become belligerent fire.
quently without cause.
Now for Manager Tinker. The pac-
fists will argue that Joe should have

Gently, not only from Byron, but
from other umpires. He argues that
it was only through a spectacular act,
such as yesterdays, that he could
draw proper attention to the way he
has been wTOnged.
Joe declares that some of the in
dicatOr handlers are entirely too ar
bitrary and will not listen to even pO-
lite protests. He recently had trouble
with Umpire Klein because the latter
fired Zimmerman when Heinie
crossed a line Klein had drawn in the
dust
The unbiased observer must notice
the arbitrary and tactless way in
which Byron and Klein act. They
appear to think that they are the real
attraction of the game and that the
players are merely a frame for their
glory, and that parts of the frame
can be Clipped away at will.
Seldom is an umpire disciplined,
but President Tener, if he is alive to
the best interests of his league, will
heed some of the frequent criticism
of certain members of his staff and
take hand. Any fair-minded critic
will tell him that some of his aids
are entirely too dictatoTiaL They
take the interest from the game, for
the fans like to see a player object
when he has legitimate objection
coming.
No one likes rowdyism, no one
cares for such events as transpired
yesterday and only the most partisan
can hold that Byron was the only
person at fault.
+ Byron and Tinker could both have
used more tact, but Byron certainly
did not need to call a policeman to
put Joe off the field.

sas City has been secured by the
Cubs and will report Immediately.
