CERMANY'S MOST
SERIOUS PROBLEM
People on short Rations, But Not
Yet Starving; While Situation
May Not Grow Worse, II Is I'm
likely TO Improve.

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 1S.-
The food situation in Germany may
not grow worse, but ii scarcely can
become better. This Is the out
standing feature of Germany's great
problem.
The German people as yet are not
starving, and they still have provi-
sion n adequate quantities to sup
port lire. while in the case of furth-
er decreases in available supplies
there still is the institution of COM
pulsory soup kitchens" the most
economical method of making all
foodstutfs go as far as possible to
stand between Germany and any for
ced termination to the war through
an absolute lack of food.
Many agricultural experts believe
in both years as could be expected
and that the populations of Germany
and Austria must reconcile themsel-
yes to getting along during the COM
ing harvest year on no greater allow
ance than in the past. The prob
lem, as frankly discussed in agricul-
tural circles and as outlined in re-
cent circular of the Prussian minis
try of agriculture. is not one Of more
land for crops. but one of labor and
fertilizer to cultivate the land al
ready available advantageously.
The decidedly short supply of la
Dor. even by working every available
prisoner of war and the inhabitants
of occupied districts. Ia not enough
for the intensive cultivation which
made Germany world leader in big
crop farming.
Taking all these factors into con-
sideration, 1t is highly improbable
that there will be any increase in
general crop production over 1919
and 1915 Weather conditions may
as in 1915, produce a bumper potato
crop and a poor grain crop, or the re-
verse results MS in 1916, but the gem

L. =. MAY CALL IN ALL
GOLD COIN TO PREVENT
Loss FROM FRICTION

Bankers of Salt Lake learned yes
terday of recommendation made to
Congress that gold coins be kept in
the treasury department to prevent
their wear in the pockets Of humid
reds OF thousands of citizens. II is
estimated that this wear results in
annual losses of tremendous slgnifi-
canoe.
Officials of the Salt Lake clearing
house have received no word of the
measure to store all of the nations
gold at Washington. but in the event
that 1t is made law 1t is thought
that 1t will require trucks to carry
all the gold in local store out of Salt
Lake for transportation to the nat
ional capital.
According to the recommendation
all the gold received at Washington
after the measure becomes law
will be received face value, but when
a period of ninety days has expired
holders of gold coins may be locked
from 10 to Is cents for each piece
of money where it may show signs
of being worn.

Safety Margins Now 100 pct.

OaIeIy Margins NOW lUU pct.
Three years ago Mr.. Bate
started out to double our marg-
ms of safety. They had been SO
per cent-a standard then called
extreme. Now every part has
twice the needed strength.
There are over 440 parts made
of toughened steel. All parts
which get a major strain are
built of Chrome Vanadium. The
most important parts are also
oversize.
The result is a lifetime car.
Every common weakness has
has been overcome. Even the
problem of breaking springs
seems to have solved complete
ly. Not one Bate cantilever
spring has ever yet been broken.
And we have used them for two
years now.
See the Extra Values
John w. Bates, the great eff
ficiency engineer, built and
equipped this entire plant. 1t
now covers 45 acres. It's output
next year will be $4,000 cars.
No other factory in the world
could build a like car at any
where near our cost.
The results show clearly in a
hundred ways-in over-strength,
in added luxury, in extra fea-
lures. They show in these new
cars more than ever before.
Come now and see them.

The Innovation.

The new Mitchells, which have
just arrived, embody the follow
ing innovations:
A new-size Mitchell-called
Mitchell JUNIORS offered to
men who want 5-passenger
car. So you don't need to pay
for room or power not needed.
Eight latest-style bodies are
brought out, all built in the
Mitchell plant.
The saving made in the new
body plant all goes into added
luxury. Thus "a per cent has
been added to the cost of finish,
unholstering and trimming.
There are 81 extra features,
instead of 26. These are attrac-
tons which other cars omit.
And now, for the first time,
Mr.. Bate announces double
strength in every Mitchell part.
He has worked for three years
to attain it.
The Smartest Car
This added luxury makes the
Mitchell the smartest car you'll
see.
Enormous ovens have been
built so the finish coats can be
fixed by heat. The result is a
deep, lustrous finish which keeps
it's gloss for years.
Fifty per cent has been added
to the cost of the leather uphol-
stery and of the cushion springs.
This gives you an axtra-grade
leather.

Savings made in our new body
plant pay for all this added lux
ury. So this is another result
of efficiency.
81 Wanted Extras
In this latest Mitchell there
are 81 features which nearly all
cars omit. No other car includes
more than four of them.
These are things like a power
tire pump, reversible headlights,
an engine primer at drivers
hand, an extra-cost carburetor,
a ball-bearing steering gear, a
light in the tonneau, etc.
1t will cost $4,000,OOO on this
years output to add these extras
to the Mitchell. But this cost
is, paid by factory savings, due
to Bate efficiency methods.

Labor Agents Enticing
 Men From Selma Section

Selma, January 6-(Special. )--Absolute proof of the operation of labor agents has been discovered, and two of the men have been arrested and placed under $3O0 bonds. They jumped their bonds and their names are being withheld for the present.
 The situation has become such that the planters of Dallas and adjoining counties are becoming greatly wrought up, and as the evidence shows that the agents are enticing the negroes into a system of peonage, they will be prosecuted both under state and federal laws when caught.
 There are said to be five more of the men at work in this section, and every effort has been made to keep the news from becoming public until they were traced down and caught
 Their plan of operation has been 10 induce the negro to put up $2.50, which he turns over to the railroad for trans portation. When he arrives at his desti- nation he is met by representative of the mines and put to work. He is then debited with all the expenses incurred in getting him to his place of work and must work this out.
 These are the facts gleaned from ne- groes who have been lured to different points, and who are now writing back to their friends for money to return home.

Some Reasons Are GiDen
 Why Congress Hesltated
 To Endorse Peace Note
Rr HIGH ". ROBERTS

torially asked the President to tell fh e American people just what he did mean. There is no question but that the Herald's antagonistic attitude is the cause of the division in Congress. The President has asked Senator Stone to secure the indorsement of Congress as to his course for peace. Stone has tried, The New York Herald and other anti administration agencies have blocked the game.
 Republicans, speaking informally and indirectly from the floor, have dwelt on the action of Spain as if that action , was doubly significant. Spain, as Is re- called, replied to the Presidents re- quest in rather sharp and pointed man. ner That country represented to this government that the present was entirely an inopportune mo- ment to move for peace, and that because of the those views, Spain would be compelled to forego the pleasure which concerted action with the United States would guarantee And then having pointedly declined to act with the United States Spain slapped Germany directly in the face:
 stop firing on merchant vessels. For your next action Spain will hold you to strict accountability"
 According to the republican version Spain was presenting the attitude of the entente nations Spain, using the language which the President in other moments has used, was notifying the United States, republicans aver, as to what course this country should have pursued.
 In other words, Spain indirectly told the United States that 1t should deal directly with Germany for Germany's S failure to abide by agreements rather than to dodge the issue through an eff fort to put an end to the European struggle.

President May of Mobile and West Alabama Railroad Says Work Will Begin
 After the War

tuscaloosa, January 6-(Specal)-C Lewis A. May, president of the Mobile and West Alabama railroad, is in Tusca- ioosa for the purpose of discussing the railroad and other matters with Hon Frank s. Moody, a, member of the board of directors of the railroad company Colonel May is a native Alabamian and was for many years a resident of New eork before going to London, where he has been for the past five years.
 The Mobile and West Alabama railroad will run from Mobile to Florence through Tuscaloosa, and will be financed as soon as the European war is ended. The line of survey of the road is through the heart of the Warrior coal fields, from Florence via Tuscaloosa and Mobile 35( miles, with branch line from where it crosses the Warrior to Birmingham, 3C miles, total mileage of 380, with a max mum grade of five-tenths per cent, or 26.4 per mile, from the coal fields to Mobile.
 Through the international law firm of London and New York, $2O000O00 of the Mobile and West Alabama company bonds will be placed as soon as difficulties in Europe are ended. The railroad is incor- porated under a most remarkable and lib- eral act of incorporation of a railroad company ever enacted by a legislature. The charter was granted in 1893 to Gov. Thomas Seay, Judge Huriosco Austill, J. L. Rapier of Mobile, Col. L. B. Musgrove of Jasper, Gen. J. W. Whiting, Mobile Howard Douglass, R. c. McCalla and others The charter has been kept alive and rights-of-way and station sites given more than 20 years ago have preserved the status of the railroad.

 Alabama has a large number of obliga- tions which must be met during the first three months in 1917. New York banks which advanced the state money to cover running expenses during the dull season of last year will be due their money be- tween this time and March 15 and this obligation must be met in order that the states credit may be maintained as more money must be borrowed later Tn the year.
 Money is arriving at the state treasury in large quantities each day and will con- tinue to come during the tax collection season. Tax collectors of Alabama coun- ties obtained permission from the state auditor Friday to pay into the state treas ury S294,9
