The submission late yesterday afternoon Of the annual report of County Engineer George H. Clark, removes the last ob- stable in the way of securing action on the Warrior river highway.
 The members of the board of revenue have delayed until this report could be made so that they could see just how much work had to be taken care of dur ing the present year, and how much money would be available for additional construction of highways
 The officers and members of the Cham Der of Commerce who have been consid- ering the Warrior highway for some weeks, have also delayed making any dnal suggestions to the board of reve- hue pending the receipt of this detailed information and budget from the county engineer.
 With this informa ton now in hand, the members of the board of revenue and the citizens of the county know just what the situation is The cost of the Warrior highway has been previously stated in a report from the county engineer
 President Morris Bush of the Chamber oA COiHiueice was oul ol tle cltS ldSl night and it was stated that he probably would not return before the first of the coming week.

NEW IMPETUS WILL BE
 GIVEN WARRIOR PROJECT
 BY ENGINEERS REPORT
Civic Bodies of Birmingham Ensey Besemer and Other Points Affected Are Expected to Become Active in Insisting That
 Board of Revenue Proceed With Necessary Work

, organizat ations of Ensley, Bessemer and with representative citizens from differ ent parts of the county and canvass the situation. With accurate information in
 hand concerning the resources of the board of revenue for road building in the
 immediate future, it is expected that the
 Chamber of Commerce and the other or
 will be able to determine upon some definite form of action to be recommended
 to the board of revenue
 Since the report of the county engineer tended to show that a large part of the money available for the next 12 months has been appropriated for work now under construction, and that little or no
 money will be available in the imme-
 diate future from the general fund for
 constructing the Warrior highway or any
 of the several other highways which are desired immediately in different parts of
 the county, it would not be surprising if the civic bodies did not petition the board to call an election for a bond issue or urge them to issue county warrants The amount of this bond issue it is said. could not at this time be estimated as it is not known just what roads the cti- zens of the county are anxious to have built this year.
 Should bond issue be selected as the best plan. it would require at least four months for the necessary advertising ana for the sale of the bonds should they be authorized It is pointed out by county officials, however, that work could be started upon the roads sooner by usns. some of the money now on hand to be refunded when the bonds were sold Since the general consensus Of opinion of tho atv ard county as expressed by several hundred representative citizens in inter- views seems to favor the immediate con- struction of the river highway it is con- sdered not at all improbable that this plan of action will be recommended.

 The auditorium of the temple was well filled so that a good sum will be realized for the Independent Presby- terian church loan fund. Last nights performers are members of this church and rendered their services for bene- fit concert, an opportunity which the church gladly accepted.
 The church's loan fund is being es- tablished for the assistance of worthy young men who may be in distress or who may for other reasons need tenn porary assistance.

MAKURA HAS bad
SCARE MEETING
SISTER ship

One very bad scare was encounter
ed by officers Of the Canadian,Aus-
tralasian liner Makura on her voyage
up TO australia, according to state
ments made by passengers on the
ship before she resumed her voyage
to Vancouver last night.
On leaving Auckland the officers
received warning from the British
admiralty to keep sharp lookout for
the German commerce-raider Moewe,
which was, supposed to be in the
South Pacific, instead CT at shelter in
Wiihelmshayen, as previously report
ed. A war-vessel believed to be Ger
man had been reported off the west
coast OF South America, and the adj
miralty believed she might be the
M0ewe. Hence the warning.
In consequence Of the order the
Makura steamed with lights out at
night. and altered her course. Just
as she was crossing the equator.
about 10 o'clock at night, big steam
er was sighted coming in her direction
at full speed, apparently headed
straight for the Makura.
The Makura's officers thought their
time had come, as the mysterious
ship gave every indication of being a
commerce-raider.
When within a short distance of
each other the suspense became too
great to be borne.
What ship are you?" was signaled
from the Makura to the other steamer
with lisLt signals.
Niagara, vas the answer.
Al this the relief was so great that
the hearts of everyone on deck resum-
Cd their normal positions ii about a
second. The Makura signaled her
name, the two ships Of the CA. line
saluted and passed each other. And
great was the relief thereof Each lin
er had thought the other to be a
German conlmerce-raider
