Tuscaloosa, March 8.-(SpeciaL)-En Engi- neer George K. Little, head of the local office of the engineering department of the United States government, left Wednesday morning for Washington, where number of the civilian employees of the government have been called. It was believed here that the visit of Mir. Little to the capitol would have some- thing to do with the location of the nitrate plant, and it may be that it, will, but on account of the fact that the order for his going coming as it did from Admiral Winslow, it is thought that his going was occasioned by the de- partment of coast defense, of which the admiral is the head.

Signal Company Will Not Be Brought Back Without Another Call

Montgomery, March 28.-(Special )-Mus- tering officers tonight announced that the ambulance company of Birmingham will be returned to federal service at once, but that the signal company of Mont gomery will not be accepted until fur ther orders from the war department. Capt R. F. Ashworth and about 15 mem- bers of the ambulance company who had not left Montgomery, reported at camp for duty Wednesday afternoon, while those who went to Birmingham Tuesday night will be returned at once.
 Mastering officers agreed that as a por- ton of the ambulance company had not left it could be mustered in under the war department orders to take back all units which had not left camp. As the signal company had returned to civil life and moved it's property from camp it cannot be received until further orders are issued

BUSTING TALKS

Armed neutrality has not kept Ger many from sinking our ships" Senator Husting said, and therefore. l think we should go further. Of course I am op- posed to war if it can be avoided, but we have no say in the matter. Ger many is making war on us. l am not concerned with details just now, just what steps are best should be left to the determination of the board of strategy whoever that may be. Discussion of de- tails at present only causes d.sorder.'
 President Wilson and practically every member of his cabinet have received in vtations within the last few days to address patriotic meetings in various parts of the country but so far have consistently refused to accept them.
 They have done so partly because they have been too busy here with actual and partly because they do not desire to be placed in the position of making efforts to stir up the country. They believe that the nation is fully aware of the danger of the present stiua- tion, and will respond readily to any req sonable demand for money or for men.

 Whether suggestions that a huge loan or gift of money to one or more of the entente allies should be adopted, whether an army should be sent abroad, and whether increased supplies of munitions should be forwarded, are generally re- garded as questions which would only confuse the issue if pressed to decision now.
