UNDERWOOD HAS NO FORMATION AS ID ARMOR PLATE PLANT
Is of Opinion President Has Full Power to Order War ships to Take Aggres-
 sive Measures

The call for an immediate session of Congress issued by President Wilson yes terday will curtail Senator oscar w. Un- derwood's S stay in Alabama by more than two weeks. Senator Underwood announced last night that he would leave the state for the capitol on April or 3. The action of President Wilson in call ing Congress into session was not unex- pected. While Senator Underwood was of the opinion that the President had full powers to order the warships to take aggressive measures, he was of the opinion that the President might convene Congress in order to obtain declara- tion of war and to get a large sum ap- propriated for defense
 Senator Underwood professes that he knows absolutely nothing of what the plans of the President are
 ISSUE WILL BE DEFINED
 As to what course the President will ask Congress to support, I am not in a wood. Tt is not improbable that before the time that Congress convenes Ger many will commit other warlike acts and the issue will be defined unmistak- ably"
 Or another matter Senator Underwood cannot give information. He has heard nothing about Birminghams chance to land the armor plate plant.
 While I think that Birmingham nat ural resources and other conditions make this city a very desirable place for the armor plate plant, have heard nothing n Ur6 n bn for.,,
 Do you think that the pressure of inn pending war will make the board deter mine upon the site earlier than was ex pected?"
 "It would be impossible for the gov ernment to build an armor plate plant within a time to be of service in a war with Germany. This will have no infu- ence upon the situation
 PLANS FOR POSTOFFICE
 While the present plans for Birming- hams postoffice call for two-story fed eral building, it is likely that it will be three stories, IS originally planned, when completed.
 The postoffice will be a handsome building said Senator Underwood, 'al- though present specifications are for a ly planned to have three stories, I think that by the time the construction will have reached the second story that Con- gress will authorize an additional appro- priation which will permit the addition of the third floor and other work At least, the lower part of the building will be built in such a manner that the third story may be added conveniently
 While it had been the hope of Senator Underwood that he might remain in Ala bama until the middle of April, he will not be able to visit many cities in the state on account of the change in the opening of Congress. He expects to go to Montgomery Friday, inasmuch as his son, Oscar w. Underwood, Jr.. is expect ed to arrive from the border with the Alabama cavalry regiment.
 ''It will not be necessary for me to be in Washington on the opening day. It will take at least two days for the House to be reorganized, while the Senate will be ready to do business immediately. h. asmuch as the war measures must of necessity originate in the House, the Sen- ate will be idle until this reorganization is perfected"

The ambition Of rival motion picture producers has led them to pile one stu pendous scene on another until it would appear that they have already exhausted the possibilities of their art, but one can never tell Such a picture as 'Intol eranee," the D. w.
