BRITAIN HAS ESTABLISHED
BUREAU OF DISTRIBUTION
Gives Priority in Raw Materials,
Labor and Equipment to Industries
Carrying on War Work.

Steps which have been taken in Eng
land to provide for the distribution of
raw materials. labor and equipment to
industries which are carrying on war
work are described in a bulletin today
by a committee of the Chamber Of Com
merce of the United States which is
cooperating with the Council of Ma
tional Defense. England established a
priority branch, which determines the
order in which commodities may be
designated to these industries on the
basis Of the importance and needs Of
the war activities.
The priority branch In England has
for its function the bringing about of
flicting demands Of the different de-
partments of the ministry of munitions,
of the admiralty, the war office and
other government offices; the railroads,
the mines and other quasi-public serv-
ice and approved industry" the report
explains.
"All these different public interests
were in more or less active competition
among themselves for their share of
raw materials, manufacturing capacity
and labor of the country. The priority
branch was created in recognition of
the fact that the decision between these
several interests could not be left in
war time to the uncontrolled operation
of prices"
The war industries board of this
country is now determining what shall
be done in the United States regarding
priority. 1t was thought apropos by
the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States that its bulletin of information
telling of England's experience should
be issued at this time.

REPRESENTATIVE BRITTEN
DENIES INCITING GERMANS
Replies Sharply to Charge Made in
the House by Representative
Hefin Of Alabama.

Instead of being on a trip ito incite
German opposition to the war;" as
charged by Representative Helm of
Alabama in a bitter speech in the House
last week. Representative Britten of
Illinois is on a trip of inspection of the
Great Lakes training station. according
to a statement issued from Chicago by
Mr. Britten. In addition, Representa-
tive Britten parted the attack of Rep
resentative Helm by stating the Ala
bama democrat has always l.een a
small Navy, small Army. peanut poll
tician from Alabama, who carries no
weight whatever in the House because
of his eccentric personality and gro
tesque appearance"
The Britten statement says. In part:
Until very recently Mr.. Helm was a
continued opponent Of preparedness in
every direction. in ridiculous atti-
tude on CONSUMPTION. being first unal-
terably opposed to it, then 5ellyfshing
around until he finally voted for it, in
his characteristic unreliable manner.
NV attitude has always been in favor
Of universal military service"

SMOKE That Snipc and Conserve

Practice Called WostefuI.

Men would be all right II only they

Even as 1t is. they are taking steps
trenchward to put a deeper red into the
star Spangled Banner-made-in-A Amer

slogan Is "A Smokeless Day! They,

Less drastic economists recognize
that abstinence from meat and ice

The Remedy Suggested.

Mrs. Alice Underwood Hunt grapples
the situation at a helpful angle. Without
using the pipe Of peace for a war club,
she tells the smoker his fault-siie found
IT IN the street-and shows how he may
remedy 1t. In letter to The Star she
Writes: Il have been and am interested
IN the tobacco question-not the use but
the extravaganza and waste. l have read
that one cigar saved by each smoker a
day would give tobacco to the soldiers in
the trenches. They need it.
"A, friend. at my suggestion, talked the
matter over at the Cosmos Club. 1t was
agreed a good scheme, but who would
start it? The same friend took the mat
ter up with several leading food men. Re-
suit: Good in it, but let the women start
smokers. We are asked to help win the
war by economy and self-denial, and we
will, as ever, surely do our share But
why should we do the mems work? Once
it was: The woman tempted me. and l
did eat And now 1 suppose it will be ::
The woman forbade me, and I stopped
smoking
Il have been keeping my eyes on the
ground for days. For example: In few
squares uptown, Friday, counted Ill
cigarettes from one-quarter to three-quar-
tiers whole enough to have made nearly
loo whole cigarettes Also. many cigars
few of them more than half smoked
paid no attention in either case to stubs
L have seen many young men hating in
groups to exchange greeting, light cigar
cites and in a moment step in bank, office
or car and throw the smoke on the
street.
The poor man smokes his cigar, cigar
cite or pipe to a finish.
The Star has done so much good, ma
tional and local, cannot it bring attention
to this waste and get men. if not to
smokeless day, to some regular self-denial

Offender Also Wanted.

It is probable that the grand Jury next
Thursday will report the result of its
findings in the case Of q stranger in
the city who Is alleged to have foated
several bogus checks. The case was
reported to the police several days ago
and witnesses last week were before
the grand jury to explain their dealings
with the alleged swindler.
According to the complaints the
stranger posed as q Canadian army Of
f1cer, mingled with q few persons In
Army circles and was known about sew
eral hotels. 1t is alleged he passed a
check for $3.50 at the Bellevue Hotel
and one for $50 at the saloon Of the
Company.
Lieut.. W. Stettinious, U. s. A., Is said
to be loser to the amount of $50 as a
result Of his short acquaintance with
the alleged swindler, and William W.

Youngsters Are Matched
 for Y. M. c. A. Offering

There will be another special tennis match Saturday on the Young Men s Christian association court, adjoining the building. The last match created a great deal of attention and Director Mitchell has secured a special match be- tween Richard Mccoy and Tinsley Har- rison vs. William McWane and Orton Blake.
 These youngsters are perhaps the best players of their age in the district, and the match is expected to be a close one. Tinsley Harrison, who has been attend ing the University of Michigan, arrived in Birmingham few days ago and ap- pears to be in good condition. Young Blake is playing one of the best games he has ever played, and the ability of the two left-handers. Richard BcCoy and William McWane, is known to all the tennis followers of the district
 The match will begin at 3;30 Saturday afternoon and will be open to the public.

Officials of the Birmingham amateur commission have already re- quested that the games be played.
 Secretary Bigby of the Amateur Base ball clubs has called all of the man. agers together to arrange for team to pit against Birmingham. It will be re- membered that Birmingham made clean sweep here last year, since which time, however, local amateurs have charged that Birmingham used South Atlantic league team. That the games will be played is certain, Birmingham probably coming here first.

CUTLER-FREBERG
 MATCH A BATTLE
 OF LOCAL IDOLS
Both Men Booked Here for July 4 FavOrites With the Wrestling Fans of
 Birmingham

Birmingham will have an opportunity of seeing two of the most popular wres- tiers who ever appeared in Birmingham in action against each other on the night of July 4 at the Jefferson theatre, when John Freberg and Charles Cutler will meet in a finish bout
 When Brown Parkes who is promoting the matches in Birmingham, began of fering the exhibitions, Cutler won a se- ries of victories over some of the fastest men that could be obtained at that time. Then Cutler was called east by series of battles and Freberg was introduced to Birmingham audiences. Announce ment that these two local favorites would meet each other caused flutter of interest to run through the Birming- ham public second only to that caused by the announcement that Zbyszko would appear here.
 Cutler is without doubt one of the most popular wrestrers who ever ap- peared in a Birmingham match. By his fast, clean work he won a following att once in his early bouts and Mr. Parkes has received numerous requests to bring Cutler back, but there was berg could be secured for a match on the Fourth of July. Consequently the announcement that this booking had been made created great deal of pleas ure.
 Freberg, too, has won his spurs be- fore Birmingham audience, and it is doubtful as to which man will be the favorite when the bout starts. It is cer- tain that both will be backed by hun dreds of supporters, and there will be plenty to cheer them on.
 Cutler has written MT. Parkes that he is greatly pleased to appear here be- fore a Birmingham audience on the Fourth of July, and that he could not have found town in which he had rather appear. He says that his battles in the east have given him plenty of exercise, and that he will be in first class condition.
 Freherg, as is known, is wrestler who always keeps in condition and has taken advantage of the week of rest afforded him by the calling off of the match with John Olin to put in some additional work on his legs to which he is paying par ticular attention just at present.
 Harking back to the match last Mon day night, which was called off MT. Parkes has the following comment to make:
 'I was surprised and gratfied to find the way in which the public accepted my action in calling off the match with John Olin when I found he was not in condition. I have been congratulated by everybody who knows me, and by many who do not who have assured me that that is the proper way to deal with the public. I have been told that the public appreciates the calling off of this match as an indication that announce mer ts from me may be taken at 100 per cent truth. I only want to take this occasion of repeating my former assur- ance to the public that I will never send d man to the mat unless I am sure that he is in condition to wrestle and to give the fans the worth of their money"
