SUMMARY OF COMMENT

The Overseas News agency, which gives out for publication summary of the views of the press. quotes the independent national Taeglische Rund- schau as saving that the entente's last note carefully avoided the mention of Germany" substituting the German nations" (peoples) as if the German union had already been annihilated against the will of the German nation by brute force. The Rundschau de- clares that President Wilson's efforts will be without result so long as the entente insists upon the continuation Of the war until Germanys annihila- tion."
 The Deutsche Tages Zeftung objects 10 the message and declares that it was inspired by preconceived anti German ideas and that the application of it's principles would mean the de- struction of Germany and her allies.
 The Lokal Anzeiger calls the Presi- dents statement "a very remarkable ard exceptional document, which, how ever, is of limited practical import ance"

At the Bijou

One might say that all of Birming- ham is laughing this week at the tor rent of fun down at the Bijou marked Mutt and Jeff's Wedding and put up in the funniest, most mirthful and side splitting humorous setting that has been seen in this city for many a day The attraction holds forth for a full week and the regulation capacity houses are still the rule.
 Earl Bedding as Mutt and Jerry Sul- livan as Jeff have captivated a large part of Brminghams theatregoers, and the advance seat sales indicate that practically all those who haven't seen them yet are going to do SO. Gloria Castle, the comedienne, comes in for her share of the applause at each performance, along with Fred Roberts, whose voice imitation is creating more than the usual amount of attention.
 Taken altogether, it's a rollicking good, wonderfully funny show it makes one forget cares and worries and, after all. what else is show good for?
 Next week Peg O My Heart" comes for a six days engagement. Advance notices claim that the play is up to its old standard for interest and charm.

SOIL IMPROVEMENT PAYS

Mr.. G. n Dietz OF Meridian has an
exceptionally good field of corn. This
good crop is largely due to the soil
improvement work that has been car
ried on, which consists of crop rota-
ton. deep blowing and the addition
of barn yard manure.
The variety of corn planted is what
is known as Minnesota No. ID, This
has proven to be one of the best var
ieties of corn that may be grown for
silage. It not only natures early but
produces a large amount of forage.
Mr.. Dietz has planned to measure
this field, and weigh all corn put
into the silo, that an accurate check
might he had on the yield of this
plot.

Real Estate Men Declare the
Measure Would Better

From st.r Correspondent NJ TIE Troun'l
Albany. April Declaring that the
Lawson bill, which would permit tho
conversion Of old three-story private
dwellings into three-family tenement;
houses. is a step backward and a weak
ching Of the tenement house law, del
egation headed by John J. Murphy
Tenement House Commissioner, pro-
tested against the measure before the
Senate Committee on the City OF Ne"
York to-day.
MY department" said Commissioner
Murphy, sis absolutely opposed to the
conversion OF thousands Of old private
dwellings into tcnements without
proper sanitary and fire safeguards.
This bill will encourage attempted eve
sion of the tenement house law and VIVA
involve the department in endless I'u
CATION. Every man who buys nous

simply be buying n lawsuit
A letter in opposition was read from
Haven Emerson, Health Commissioner.
He said that the measure would cause
thousands Of families to live IN base
ments, and that it would be a serious
menace 10 a decrease in tuberculosis.
Lawrence WELLER showed numerous
plans. proposed for the conversion 81
old dwellings under the Lawson bill,
all of which. he argued, showed the I'M
possibility TO avoid dsrkened rooms
and unsanitary conditions.
Borough President Morris c. Con.
nelly of Queens charged that the bill
would have an adverse effect on al
the boroughs of Queens.
Much of the money the city is now
spending for subways." he said. VIII
be wasted if thousands of old discard
ed dwellings. located chiefly in BrJot'
lvn and Manhattan. are to be convert
ed into tenement houses. The effect
will be to discourage the building of
new houses in the outlying Dor
oughs."
others who spoke against the bill
were George J. Ryan and John A.
Leach, of the Queens Chamber of Com
n.erce; Waiter Arndt. of the City
Club; Frank II. Mann, Of the New
York Committee on the Prevention Of
tuberculosis. and Miss Emily W. Din
widdie, Supervisor of the Trinity Cor
poration Tenements.
Alfred T. White, of Brooklyn, led
a delegation Of real estate owners In
favor of the bill.
This bill will result in a gain rath-
err than danger" he said. "Tne
houses IL affects are now used as
boarding and lodging houses. and Of
ten for restaurants, and they are Oc-
pied by from 30 to 70 per cent more
people than they would be under the
proposed law. The Easements are
now occupied, and If these houses
were transformed into three family
tenements few people would live in
these Easements. There are from
10000 to 25.G00 such residences. which
now have NO inspection whatever We
want them 70 come under the Tone
ment House Commission and TO have
them altered and bettcred. The sani-
tary conditions are now many times
moro dangerous than they would be
under the proposed law"
