COLONEL JOyES WILL VISIT TUSCALOOSA
 ID INSPECT WARRIOR

Tuscaloosa, September 1O-(Special.) For the purpose of inspecting the pro. posed site on the Warrior river for the government nitrate plant, Colonel Joyes of the war department will visit Tusca- loosa Tuesday. He will be met in Bir- mingham by delegation from Tusca- loosa and in company with a committee of the Birmingham Civic association and other Birmingham citizens who have been active in behalf of the Warrior rlver site, the party will go to the War rlor river by automobile, taking the government steamer "Nugent" at Maxine for Lock IT and Tuscaloosa
 There is a growing belief in we'll in- formed circles that the government will locate one of the experimental plants on the Warrior near Tuscaloosa. The high indorsement given this site by the inter departmental board after its exhaustive investigation, and the recent decision to make another investigation looking to the immediate location of one of the two experimental plants, have given rise to the hope that favorable action will be taken at an early date

tina this winter viii have large quanti- ties of wheat for export, and as a neu- tral she might send much of it to the European neutrals under the operation of the British blockade. As belligerent or with diplomatic relations broken, how ever. the Argentine government probably would take control of it's exports and carefully supervise all shipments to the neutrals to prevent any foodstuffs from reaching Germany.
 Argentina is the only one of the big food exporting nations now at peace with Germany. The Argentine wheat crop .nis year promises surplus of 200, GOO, GOO bushels, much of which if js said ar ready has been purchased by the Euro- pean neutral governments.

GOVERNMENT HOPES

Officials here see in the appointment of General Klembvosky who has com manded the armies in the north during the recent retreat before Riga, evidences that the government hopes to strengthen it's northern positions and hold the Ger mans against further advances on Petro- grad. Klembovsky will remain at his present post in the north, according to the premier's proclamation, and probably will be in better position to draw troops and supplies to the Riga sector. General klembovsky is one of the younger Rus sian generals who heretofore has not played a spectacular part in the war. He is regarded however, as an excel lent military tactician and of strong per sonality. It is thought possible he may modify the present death penalty or ders.
 The Russian embassy received scant re- ports today of the new crisis and official comment was limited to admitting that the situation seemed very serious.

NO COMMENT

Mir. Lansing maintained his determi- nation not to add comment to the dis closures. Officials believe that the Ar genuine government will demand soon if it has not already done so, the with drawal of the German diplomat who ad- vised the sinking of Argentine ships with all on board, and who character ized the foreign minister of Argentina as an "ass." Equal confidence was dis played that Sweden would offer an ex- planation to Argentina, perhaps with out even waiting for the South Ameri can country to demand 1t. It will cre- ate no great surprise here, however, if Sweden does not send an explanation to this country direct, but contents It. self with sending copy of that which may be sent to Argentina.
