WASHINGTON NOT ID REPLY ID SECOND. NOTE OF THE ALLIES.

Washington, January 1S-There probably will be no separate reply to Great Britain's supplemental note to President Wilson regarding peace, de- liyered to the state department yes terday.
 Officials of the administration frankly are gratified over the tone of the communication and construe it as an indorsement of the Presidents sug- gestion of world league for peace, but no formal statement on the sub ject is considered necessary at this time and it has not been decided what shall be the next move on the part of the United States.
 The reference in the British note to the necessity for some form of inter- national sanction behind treaty agreements and international law drew from German sources here today an authoritative statement that Germany, under no consideration. would enter league to preserve peace if she should merge from the war much more greatly damaged than her enemies. The central powers were represented as believing that the proposal to es- tablish such league at the end of this war cannot be realized if the ul- innate result oT the conflict is such as to permit a completely victorious set of belligerents to impose its own terms upon the vanquished. Germany 1t was said. in making it clear that she stood ready to enter into a league presupposed that the present war would result in peace which all par- ties concerned would consider just and fair. which would not be the case if the entente ever should be in a po- sition to impose as terms the objects stated in it's note to the President.
 Some officials here see in the Brit ish note an invitation to set on foot movement for the establishment of a world league to become effective aft CT the war and thereby aid in paving the way for ending the present con flict. Comment in Europe on the sub ject will bes watched with great in terest

EVERYBODY SEES A CHANGE IN FATHER'
Suffered Over 20 Years and Spent Thousands of Dollars
 Trying to Get Well

My father has suffered from chronic stomach trouble for over 20 years and has paid out thousands of dollars on m medicines and doctors, said G. w. Slayton. well known Cobb county farmer. who lives near Smyrna, short distance out of Atlanta.
 We tried nearly everything trying to cure him, and he went off to the springs, thinking maybe the water 1 would help him, but it just looked like Nnothing would reach his trouble Then he tried dieting, and lived on liquid food until he almost starved-but even that failed to do any good. and he just kept going from bad to worse.
 1T don't guess there ever was case ns stubborn as his, and if there ever was a confirmed dyspeptic he was one of them. and I guess he would have been one yet if 1t hadn't been for this Tanlac.
 "The first we heard of this medi- cine was when my father saw an ad- vertisement in the papers from par ties he knew in Tennessee, who were friends of his. and he knew what they said about it was the trnth--so he got it right away and began taking it.
 'sWell. sir, it acted just like magic and everybody notices the change in father now; why. he is just like diff ferent man. and sits down to the table and eats like a farm hand. Only yes terday he ate pork and turnips for his dinner, and ate so much we were ac- tually afraid he was overriding the thing. but he laughed and said noth- ing hurt him now, and that he was rungry and expected to eat and make up,s for lost time.
 Now when a medicine will dc things like that I think people ought to know about it. and I want to say right now that I would not give one bottle of Tanlac for all the other medi- cine and health resorts in the country put together
 Taulac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company, in Ensley by D w. Morris Drug company in Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug company. in Pratt City by Gale Drug company. and in North Birmingham by walker Drug company.-A

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Jefferson

Neil O Brien, the veteran comedian, who appeared with his minstrel company at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night, was given a cordial re- ception Mir. OBrien has had so much experience as a minstrel man that he knows how to stage and how to present an entertainment of this kind that will meet with approval.
 From beginning to end the show this season is new and practically all the features have merit. The first part should be commended, not only for the jokes of the comedians, which evoked hearty laughter, and the singing and dancing, but for the good taste dis played in the stage appointments. The attractive draperies and costumes proved quite a welcome change from the garish and gawdy scenic effects which too often characterize minstrel shows.
 With such accomplished entertainers as the inmitable MT. O'Brien, Eddie Ross, of African harp fame; Lasses White, formerly an excellent understudy for the lamented George Evans, and number of others. not to mention the vocalists. 1t goes without saving that the first part was enjoyed A patriotic number en-
 
 of the performance to fitting close. The Stars and Stripes done in electric lights. with Uncle sam standing beside the en- blem, was disclosed when the curtains were drawn.
 The Ebony Yacht Club offered op- portunities for pleasing stage effects and a variety of dancing numbers, all of which were well executed.
 Neil OBrien's latest burlesque, "The Jitney Bust proved to be one of the funniest sxits that Mr. O'Brien has writ ten since his trolley car sketch He knows how to make the most of every absurd situation and he was at his best as the unskilled driver of a freakish car, with an assortment of passegers who gave him a great deal of trouble.
 ''The Bold Brave Black and Tans1 written by George M. Conan, was not lacking in the hunor which characterizes most of the Conan pieces, though not quite so good as some of his previous efforts. However, many opportunities were afford ed MT. White for his darkey characteriza- tion, which is unquestionably one of the funniest and most veritable on the stage today.
 Perhaps no member of the company won more applause and good will than Eddie Ross, another comedian who has made a study of the negro and presents him with great success. Tn addition to his droll impersonation of rather thick witted darkey. MT. Ross is a master of the banjo and whistles into the bargain. He is a valuable asset to the O'Brien show and deserved the prominence given him.
