Former Ambassador Ex- presses Opinion That Ger

 U-Boat Campaign

Washington, March 15.-A personal re- port on conditions in Germany and the events leading up to the break between that country and the United States was made to President Wilson by James w.. Gerard, former American ambassador at Berlin Afterward it was learned that there was nothing in the report to change the situation fro mthe viewpoint of the United States
 belief that Germany is stalking every thing on the ruthless submarine cam palgn, and that failure of this would brighten prospects for peace. He was with the President for more than an hour, repeating and simplifying the state nent already made to Secretary Lansing, in which he said Germany was determined to put no restrictions upon the relentless operations of submarines, despite the prospect of war with the United States
 The President congratulated MT. Gerard upon the manner in which he handled the difficult situation in Berlin
 After his visit to the White House, MT Gerard went to New York, where reception in his honor is to be given tomorrow. His plans for the future are indefinite. but he will continue for the present at least to retain his status as ambassador regardless of whether ne re- mains in the diplomatic service

HEALTH BOARD IS UNJUSTLY ATTACKED
 STATES DR. WEIGH
Says Criticisms of Baden sperger Before SOciologi- cal Congress Without
 Foundation of Facts

Montgomery. March 15.-(Special) Before leaving Thursday for New Or leans to attend a meeting of state health officials of the southern states. Dr. s. w. Welch, state health officer. LOOK time to say that the declaration of MT Baldensperger before the Ala oama Sociological congress in Bir- mingham this week that the state is not collecting vital and mortuary sta tlstics and his criticisms of the state health department were not borne our by the facts and were idle statements Of an uninformed person.
 Dr. Welch said the state health de- partment did not pretend to be ab- solutely perfect. but was doing gooe work with the appropriation which f. has and is improving conditions of tbis state every year. He mentioned par ticularly that the collection of health statistics during the past few years mas steadily improved
 MT, BaIoensperger undoubtealy re- ceived the impressions on which ne based his remarks from persons who would profit by the downfall of the present health system" said Dr. Welch. After all. the best refutation for mis- statements of such character is in good works, not in talk. The people of the state can learn of our work by obser- vation"
 Health officials will discuss prob- lens which have come up in the past year during the conference at New Or leans.

ALLISON AND LOCKWOOD
 AT THE RIALTO

May Allison and Harold Lockwood, two of Birmingham's greatest film favorites, are at the Rialto today in "The Promise" :"
 The Dramatic Mirror has this to say of these two stars:
 The popularity of both Harold Lock wood and May Allison, their engaging personalities and their histronic ability. serve to render intensely interesting this picturesque story of the timber country. The scenes in the camps are superbly reproduced and the picture as whole abounds in thrills. Perhaps the only fault is an excess of subtitles. The work of MT. Lockwood is fully up to his previ- ous excellent mark and the charm of Miss Allison offers strong support. The cast is on the whole superior"
 The play has to do with the adventures of Bill Carmody, who leaves his father after a quarrel and goes west to the timber country. He discovers that the boss of the lumber camp is a crook, tells him about it, Ethel Manton, his sweet heart, comes up just in time to see peach of a fight between Bill and the boss. Of course Bill beats the boss to quivering pulp, to his sweethearts ad- miratlon and delight. Ethel and Bill pass the time of day, patch up some lit tie differences they had back home, and cline has the picture fades out.

 NATURAL COLORS

 They were given their first screening at the Strand theatre, New York, last week and are being made a part of the theatres regular programme. They open an interesting field of drama in natural colors, a project which many producers believe will soon materialize. The pie lures are said to be the first color films to be projected with standard apparatus. Other processes require specially designed projectors.
