 for Great Explosion in
 Cabanas Fortress, Cuba

Havana, June 24-No cause has yet been assigned for the explosion at Fort Cabanas, opposite Havana, last night, which shook every building in the city and sent the people scurrying into the streets, many of them with visions of a possible airplane raid or bombardment by a German raider. A commission named by President Men, ocal is Investigating the matter.
 Considerable property damage was done by the huge rocks sent crashing down the hillside onto the piers of the Havana Coal company. Several boats were sunk and a number of small sailing vessels at anchor close in shore under the fortress wall were damaged.
 Heavy stones were hurled across the bay to the city, one landing upon tho state department building.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Work for the Pacifists

To the Editor of The Age-Herald. Some weeks ago I ventured to ask through your hospitable columns, when we might expect a prophet to rise and lead us out of our then profound intel lectual and practical quagmire Then
 came our good friend the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, D. D., fellow countryman of Mir Lloyd George, and lifelong Amer ican, breathing paeifsm with eloquence.
 But "the Lord was not in the wind" Afterward came MT. Taft, shaking his
 broad shoulders and hunorously legalts- tic. And the Lord was not in the earth
 quake" Happily, however, the still small
 voice We needed was manifest between
 the lines anu in the message itself ol Mir.
 Wilson, so that even Congress recognized
 It and we are at War
 We are at war not for law but for
 righteousness which is mot by the law"
 if we may believe the Great Apostle.
 am most deeply thankful that we had not
 long to wait for the Moses-or had not
 better say, the Joshua ?-whom We
 needed, and who will bring us into the
 pron4sed land of world brotherhood?
 But though we have prohpet and leader, and though our minds are at rest
 instead of being tortured with uncer- tainly, stln the volce Of the pacitst is heard in the land, breathing a sweetly sentimental note which is laden with deaaly polson My good friend, S. D. | X orton ot Inorsby, tells that the pa
 clfl$ts Ill that innocent burg are in dan 6erous contact 1lth young men, stealing 1 rhelr patriotic loyalty. in answer to
 these influences, whether in Thorsby UT 1 in Birmingham, is the best thing silence ? I Win it provoke them also to silence l Does our freedom involve tolerance to-
 o.d ! possible?
 l This puts us in a quandary, but there | is way out Certainly we cannot deny free speech on ordinary occasions De-
 mocracy runs risks in a blatant and 1 unfriendly world. The fool hath said in
 his heart, 'Let my tongue wag,'' and the
 cure is usually to let it wag for the de-
 lectation of the foolish. But in time of strain and peril would it not be we'll for
 all pacifists to be set to work? What misleads them is that unhapply no snrapne has yet burst over thelr heads, and they cannot imagine that war is on. ] These are persons of hyper -sensitized l pneumo-gast1ic nerve who run to trem- bling and tears, and the cure is work. 1 Give them something to do. Help them {! each to make one in the business of pro- ducng food, of making Red Cross ban dages of knitting or road building, ac- | cording to national necessities The l Quakers are pacifsts in England and they 1 have rendered most noble, a most hl.-
 mane and most patriotic service at home and at the front.
 This is a time when we all must "do our bit. Happy we if presently some
 one who knows how will show us what our field is and set us digging May MT. 1 Hoover mobilize" us and our agricul- tural and other several capacities. l Though Mr. Norton cannot learn of a 1 law to suit silly lips, he and we may hear of an authority that can and will 1 give us all something definite to do for 1 the land and the cause we love.
 1 Let us organize now and theorize later. GEORGE EAVES. | Birmingham. April D, 1917.

Jno. M. Parker Would Walk Back to Louisiana" Before He Would Be a Socialist

St Louis, April 13.-The progressive na- tional convention today busted the na- tional committee that last summer in dorsed Charles E. Hughes, the republican nominee for President, and named a new national committee to carry out the plans for amalgamating with the prohibition party.
 Plans for this amalgamation were ap- proved this afternoon by the convention.
 Victor Murdock of Wichita Kan, who presided over the progressive national convention Tn Chicago last June, was elected chairman of the executive com mittee of the party and Matthew Hale of Boston was elected national chair man. Other officers chosen were F, Il. Chase, New York, national secretary; J. A. H. Hopkins of New Jersey, national treasurer.
 The executive committee is composed of Victor Murdock, John M. Parker of Louisiana; D. H. Carroll. North Dakota F. M. Ingersoll Idaho; John Taylor, New Y orlI; Albert D. Nortoni, Missouri, and c. D. Mcclure, Georgia.
 MT. Parker attacked the socialists for their attitude in theswar with Germany
 He said he would walk back to Louis jana before he would vote to amalgamate the progressive party with the socialists.
 MT. Parker spoke in favor of univer- sal military training saying that it would develop American young men physically and would break down class distinction

FITS POINTS OUT
 IMPERATIVE DUTY
 OF SOUTH IN WAR

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 am on the board of government of- ficials which has been created to CO., operate with the council for national de- fense. I am not stating this to adver- tise that appointment, but in order that what l am about to call attention to may be read as coming from one in a position to know whereof he speaks
 The matter of the production of food supplies during this and probably suc- ceedinS years has been shown to the board to be crucial, calling for speedy at tention and the utmost effort on the part of the people; particularly the people of those portions of our country which have been accustomed to draw grain and breadstuffs from the sections of the country heretofore most prolific in those supplies.
 Every bushel of wheat, corn, oats pota- toes, and like products demanded by the south will mean bushel diverted from the direction in which these necessaries ought to pass in order to insure essential results.
 Every bushe produced in the south to take the place of one which would with out such extra effort be diverted, is a contribution not only to the home or farm so producing it. but directly to the nations protection.
 The real strategy of this war with re- spect to all the nations engaged is in the contest for supplies and materials The experience of the United States will prove no exception. The eastern states are abreast of the situation so far as war materials are concerned The im- perative duty of the south in the emer- gency is to produce all that it will con- sume and something to contribute to the general market supply.

''Vardaman Is From Our State, But He Is Not
 Our Kind," Say Recruits

Montgomery, April 3.-(Special) Returning from Guntersville Thursday afternoon, Harwell G. Davis, assistant attorney general, met several dozen young men from Laurel, Miss, who had enlisted in the navy for the war with Germany and were en route to Rhode Island for service. Each man wore a ribbon of red, white and blue on which was printed the slogan, Down with the Kaiser"
 T asked them what the ribbon meant" said MT. Davis, and they re- piled they were high school boys wno had enlisted in the navy, being from Laurel, Miss Oh. yes. you are from Nardamans state? I asked and they replied: No. Vardaman is from our state. but he does not represent the sentiment of our people,. They de- clared that Laurel, Miss, had fur nished enough men to supply it's pro rata share even if the nation were forced to use the services of the con- scription officer. When war was de- clared the young men put aside their books and enlisted for the duration oi the war"
