 He is Gen, Frank Mcintyre, chief of the ordnance department General Mc1n- tyre is brother to the Mc1ntyres of Mont gomery, who have acquired first rank In legal and political circles. Just recently, in addition to his other work, he assumed charge of the censorship bureau which the government had previously instituted.
 General Mcintyre is regarded as a big man with a big perspective. In his deal ings with newspaper correspondents he had prodigiously increased his popularity.
 FOUR BIG MEN
 In another dispatch this correspondent attempted to indicate the important part that Alab amians, in the war period, arc playing in the interest of their country. There is no man of greater service at present than General Gorgas surgeon general of the army. It is remembered that his work made Panama habitable- and as a result, made the completion of ttN canal possible He is still at work and indirectly he will strike vigorous blows at the German Emperor by pre- serving, through his subordinates, the health of American troops.
 Mention has already been made of an immediate assistant to General Gorgas- Major Noble, a product of Anniston. Mo- ole served valiantly in Panama and is still engaged under his chief in making American camps and ports free of dis ease. And mention has already been made of Chester Harding, governor gen. eral of Panama and his brother, w P. G. Harding. They are natives of Greene county. W. P. G.

Auto Saves and Makes Money

A woman writes to the Woman's Home Companion and says:
 The fact that our car is making nine dollars today encouraged me to write you how it saves us money, and even makes money for us.
 My husband is salesman for a wholesale grocery house in P. Until last August we made our home there; he was away all week except Saturday and part of Sunday His house allows him a cer- tain amount per month for travelling ex- penses. hotel bills etc.
 Tn June we bought five-passenger car, and then moved to little town in the center of my husband's territory. He can be at home every night, and with the car cover more ground in day than he could on the train, also calling on towns too far away from the railroad to be reached by train. Thereby he has n- creased his business and put himself in line for a raise
 We save real money by not having to pay his hotel bills, and gasoline doesn't cost as much yet as railroad fare. We also save $5 a month house rent, and light and water do not cost as much here as at home.'

SONS IF ALABAMA TAKE ACTIVE PART IN
 GREAT WAR DRAMA
Generals Sibert and Me Intyre Will Be Prominent in News From Battle
 Front in France
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, June 3O.-(Special) Alabama has real reason to throw its s-.t into the air and indulge in three hearty American cheers.
 One of it's boys is in France prepar- ing to lead troops of the United States to the first line trenches.
 Mai Gen William l.. Sibert is a born to the soil Alabamian. He is a na- tive of Gadsden Prior to the signal honor which is now his he achieved distinction. Under General Goethals he won fame in the construction of the Panama canal.
 Gen Louis V. Clark of Birmingham, while in Washington some days ago, declared: Tt is my opinion that one. of the real genuises of the Americah army is William l.. Sibert."
 At that time General Clark did no, know that General Sibert was des tined to command the American army in it's real fighting in France.
 GENERAL SIBERTS CAREER
 General sibert is 55 years of age He was graduated at West Point in 1884 and was assigned to the engineer corps, He served throughout the Span ish-American war and during tho Philippine insurrection. He acquired fame in completing work on the Ma nila railroad.
 He went to Panama under General Goethals and in recognition of his work In constructing the canal was accorded the rank of brigadier gen. eraI Two years ago he went to China on direction of the President to make l. n %1.o% fyt
 When there was talk of the Uni- ted States engaging in the European war General Sibert reported to Wash ington. He was put in charge of the Pacific coast defenses.
 A short time ago he was recalled to Washington. His promotion to the rank of major general was sent by the President to the Senate.
 His next assignment was to Europe, where under General Pershing he will command the American troops Tn the field
 AN EARLY EXPLOIT
 There is an interesting story which friends of the general relate. It is said to be a true story It serves to indicate that restrictions against en- tering military and naval academies of the United States too often deny the government the service of real ge- nuises and possibly heroes.
 While very young General Sibert be came seriously concerned on account of bad eyesight. When he received ap- pointment to West Point he thought it probable. that he would be pre- vented from entering on account of defective vision.
 To save the day he Is said to have acquired an understanding of the ocu- lar test, to have mastered that test as to it's every routine. When subjected to the test he made answer not in ac- cordance with what he saw but what he remembered or knew. At any rate, he was accepted. That he has made good goes without additional remark.
 MINTYRE ANOTHER STAR
 Of course. at present General Sibert is the particular star in. the Alabama Armament He Is not however, the only luminary. Alabama has another

 Dear President: Has your union ap- pealed to President Wilson and Congress for war prohibition? Any day action may be taken on bills now pending for na- tlonal prohibition as war measure. Communications, telegrams and letters should go at once to President Wilson, Senator Bankhead, and your congress- man urging that such bills be passed Rest assured, the members of Con gress are receiving their instructions from the liquor interest as to how to vote. Prompt action by the temperance people is absolutely necessary. Not only act yourself, but see that neighbors and fellow toWnsmen do likewise
 Let eight or ten people combine in the sending of one telegraphic petition and thus save expense. The following form is suggested:
 United States Sena te, or House of Rep resentatives, care of Senator signed urge conservation of food prod ucts used in making intoxicating bever- ages. and passage of all war prohibition measures. Also urge that no added tax be placed on liquors.

AMERICAN WOMEN IN MANILA ORGANIZE TO DO THEIR "BITo IN WAR
Training in Various Lines of En- deavor Is Now We'll Under Way.
 All Want. to Aid

Manila, P. l., June 1.-The American women of Manila have organized for whatever services they can perform in the war. Under the leadership of the American Woman's league, an or ganization formed few months ago to stimulate American knowledge of the islands and to promote American trade here, classes already have been formed in telegraphy and automobile driving and work is proceeding on these lines.
 The American nurses of the city. of whom there Is a great number, have formed an organization which stands ready to lend whatever help 1t can in the war. The government and army hospitals here have attracted many nurses from the states. many of whom have settled in Manila and are mar ried. Thus the nurses organization starts with a large number of trained specialists.
 Classes In first aid are at work. learning the simplest clements of war time nursing and preparations are be- ing made to train women as motor men and conductors of the street cars that they may. if the need arises, take the place of the men of the United states If they are called away from their tasks. In the Philippines their serVlces in this capacity will not be needed as here the Filipinos do such work, but 1t is the plan of the spon- sors of this class to utilize Manila women in American cities if the need arises

 TWO NAVAL HEROES
 Alabama, before the war is brought to an end, might have one or more heroes on the sea. The highest ranking Ala oamlan in the navy is Rear Admiral John Hood, who. according to last an- nouncement, was in command of the bat tiesh1p Texas. Admiral Hood was ap- pointed to Annapolis from Florence in 1875. He is regarded as an officer of fine executive ability
 Capt. Richard Harrison Jackson also a native of Florence, was, when last heard from, in command of the Virginia He was appointed to Annapolis in 1890 He is brother of Kirk Jackson, recently made vice president of the American Trust and Savings bank, Birmingham Captain Jackson has already acquired fame. He received the official thanks of Congress for conspicuous bravery at Samoa.
 There are numerous other Alabamlans who vii serve the country at sea, any one of whom may, in critical moment conduct himself in such way as to re- fleet glory on his state.

Commander Duncan Mahon Wood, on duty at the Norfolk navy yard; Lieutenant Commander Arthur Crenshaw. assigned to the bureau of steam engi- neering; Lieutenant Commander David French Boyd, commanding the Bushnell; Lieutenant Commander Hillary Herbert Royal, on duty at the Naval Academy; Lieutenant Commander Donald Cameron Bingham on the Arkansas, and Lieuten- ant Commander Lewis Broughton Por- terheld, in charge of the recruiting bu- reau of the navy-all of them are sons of Alabama and anxious quickly to get into the thick of the fray
