the vicinity almost unbearable. Mr.
Young declared that soldiers at Fort
Armstrong are beginning to complain
of the odor which arises from the de-
caying mess. The fumes are causing
the paint on his boats to turn black.

This is an American corporation.
as much an American as any corpora

Under those circumstances the Gus

the law.
ION the other hand, the situation OF
the foreign stockholders is different

such stockholders. invest the divI-
dends which he receives for them on
such stock, keep all such dividends in

count for them to such stockholders
and pay over to them all received ir

 der of Watchman

Charles Tumlin, Earl Tunlin, Louis Canterberry, Bill Gothard, Ida steward Son Everett and W. H. Sudduth, all whinte, have been arrested by city de- tectives and confined in the city jail on charge of murder. It Is believed that these persons were implicated in the murder of Watchman Bush, who was as- sassir ated at the Avondale cotton mills last summer while on duty at night
 Son Everett was arrested by Chief of Detectives Shirley at 1915 o'clock Sat urdsy night and the others were arrest ed by Detectives Goad and Macke yes terday morning.
 The murder of Bush at the cotton mills last summer puzzled local authorities. Bush was killed while making his rounds before o'clock, as was shown py the last time box on his rounds which was punched. He was found with big gash in tho back of his head the next morn ing. His pistol belt was cut and the pistol taken. but whether before or aft CT the murder was not known. Those who knew Bush said that If he had an enemy no one knew of it. It was said that nothing was missed from the mills and the reason for the murder was not understood.
 Since the time of the tradegy the de- tective department has been seeking for a clue. The evidnce duplicating the per- sons arrested yesterday and Saturday has not been made public.

Tn it are seen 1900 juve nile movie actors and immense walled cities built solely for the wonderful production. The we'll known story of Jack and the Beanstalk" is depict ed on the screen. Jack, as the story is handed down from the earliest Eng fish to the children of every country and age since then goes, sold his moth er's COW for bag of beans. His mother became angry and threw the beans out of the window, The next morn ing she was surprised to look out the window and see that they had sprout- ed and that an enormous beanstalk reached from the ground to the sky. Jack. filled with the spirit of adven- ture, climbed it and landed in coun- try above the clouds where dwelt an awful giant and a beautiful princess. After many adventures Jack killed the giant, married the princess and all lived happily ever afterward.
 While the picture play is one of children, it has an, appeal for men and women also. There are many beau tiful scenes and the acting of the little folks is most entertaining.

GRAPHIC STORY OF WAR IS TOLD BY
 CANADIAN SURGEON

London. August 2O,--(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)--A graphic account of war as an army surgeon sees 1t Is given in a series of articles by Capt Robert V. Dolbey, surgeon from Brit ish Columbia, who enlisted in the Brit
 sh medical corps early in the war. De- scribing sharp bit of fighting on the British front in France, he says:
 "All day long the machine guns ham mered and shrapnel swept that unhappy regiment. By evening they had 400 cas- ualties. including 16 officers. So light was the field of f1re-the brewery behind them was ablaze-that the doctor could not get to all his wounded, and they lay out that night. When morning broke and the fire died down only the slightly wounded were alive; the cold rain and exposure effectually robbed the rest of their chance of life.
 Here then, was an instance of the value of warmth, tea and sheltered be certain, that severely wounded men will not stand the exposure of night on the field and survive. Wounds associated with much shock, compound fracture of the hip and shoulder joints, and frac- ture of the thigh, chest wounds, will often do quite well, and rapidly recover from the initial shock when the soldier
 
 Here Is his description of busy night in his field dressing station:
 Very busy were we in that little house. 60 wounded for morphia and dressings. They were most grateful for the warmth, for wounded men suffer acutely from shock, they are so cold, so sweaty and so thirsty. When the morphia acts and the tea and the inevitable cigarette, that incomparable sedative for shaken nerves. arrive. the whole aspect of the dressing station alters. Unless man is wounded desperately he soon becomes quite cheer full and very talkative. Morphia stills the pain without having a great mar cotic effect in times of excitement like this"
 Doctor Dolbey gives the following ac- count of the work of an army surgeon: How does a regimental medical of ficer do his work and what Is his equip ment7 This was curious to know; for had not been a surgeon to a battalion in the field for 13 years.
 "The doctor to each regiment Is now provided with a light, two-wheeled Nal tese cart that carries the medical and surgical panniers. These contain com prehensive selection of medical and sur gical instruments, medicines condensed milk, and beef extract; all as complete as 1t Is compact Lacking only rubber gloves and sterilizable surgical gowns there is hardly an operation of an ur- gent character that an adaptable sur geon cannot do in an emergency.

ADJOURNMENT IN AIR AND CONGRESS
 SPEEDS UP WORK
Passage of S2,5OO, 100000 War Tax Bill Late Today First Item of Adjourned
 Programme

Washington, September 9.-Passage or $25oo 100000 war tax biu late tomorrow by the Senate. after months conten- tion, is the first major item of an ad- journment programme being framed by congressional leaders.
 The adjournment fever is in the air, with general acquiescence in speeding up process. Leaders are endeavoring to reconcile the widespread desire at the capitol and the White House to close the session next month, with the President 8 legislative programme, with the soldiers and sailors insurance bill as the prin- cipal stumbling block
 Chief features of the programme be- fore Congress are:
 The war tax bill, which will go to con- ference this week and probably to the President within fortnight.
 The S11,5o0,ooo0Oo war credits bill. which will be taken up Tuesday by the Senate finance committee.
 The s4.sooeoesoo deficiency appropria- tion bill before the House.
 The insurance measure, due to pass the House this week.
 The administration trading with the enemy bill which has passed the House, and is awaiting Senate debate, Tuesday.
 As usual the preadjournment conges- tion,is on the Senate side The war tax bill is definitely set for passage to- morrow. While it Is in conference the Senate hopes to pass the trading with the enemy and s11 00O, O0O,0oO credits bills, possibly within fortnight, leaving the insurance measure and the mammoth ap- propriation bill as the final features.
 Senate leaders are endeavoring to Be- cure agreement of administration lead- CTS to postpone enactment of the insur- ance bill until December, on the theory that few if any American soldiers Will be actually in the trenches by that time The President and Secretary McAdoo, how ever. are urging it's prompt passage. This may upset hopes of vacation be- fo,e the regular December meeting.
 Several more changes are expectd in the war tax bill tomorrow. Strong fights are awaiting the consumption taxes on sugar, tea, coffee, and cocoa. the 3 per celt tax on freight transportation; the second-class mail rate increases; pro- posed repeal of the sugar drawback" and the provision taxing corporations undivided surplus 10 per cent.
 Agitation for a general discussion of peace after passage of the tax bill ap- parently has subsided.

2OOO MEN LEFT IN ALABAMA BRIGADE
 AT MONTGOMERY
Squadron of First Alabama Cavalry Departed For Camp Wheeler, Macon,
 Ga, Yesterday

Montgomery. September 9-(Speciall With the departure of a squadron of the First Alabama cavalry for Macon Sunday morning 2oO0 men were left in the Alabama brigade for movement when Camp Wheeler at Macon has been made ready. Two thousand were taken from the cavalry and the First and Second infantry regiments by the old Fourth, which became a part of the Rainbow" division. The ranks of the brigade probably will be filled by selected men.
 The squadron leaving Sunday was commanded by Maj. Ed. l. Anderson of Birmingham and was composed of Troop B of Dothan, Troop of Mont gomery, Troop G of Elba and Troop H of Mobile. It has been assigned the duty of establishing a remount sta- ton near Camp Wheeler for use of the division and will be in charge of the station until relieved.
 No one knows when the remainder of the brigade will depart but officers and enlisted men believe it will be only a few days. Camp Wheeler has been reported ready but final orders for entrainment have not come from the southeastern department. General Steiner is anxious to place his bri-- gade at Macon as soon as possible as the best work cannot be done with expectation of orders at any moment. However, he has given instructions that all the units shall work without ceasing until the order to strike tents is issued. All organizations at Camp Sheridan had day of rest Sunday. No work was done with the exception Of formal guard mount in the afternoon. Many visitors called at the camp, be- lieving it would be the last Sunday the Alabama brigade. would be in camp.
 Mai. Gen. c. G. Treat notified the central department at Chicago Sunday afternoon that Camp Sheridan has been made ready for the Fifth and Sixth Ohio infantry regiments and bat talion of signal troops, and they are expected to entrain during the week. The Third artillery regiments site has already been reported complete and by the end of the week the four units will be in camp here.
 Carpenters and laborers worked throughout Sunday in an effort to complete the camp so the training of the division may be started within two weeks
 of the reserve corps who were trained Yin northern training camps arrived Sunday afternoon and will be assigned to the Ohio division.
 Two hundred officers from Camp Gordon many of whom were Alabama citizens, reported to General Treat early in the week for service, but they probably will be recalled and assigned to the division which will be trained at Camp Wheeler. Macon. and will be composed of selected men from Ala bama, Florida and Georgia.
