OHILED FAE0 IN FULL IICS III, -
33D WARD MEETING
ITO my mind, the most startling
piece of politics that has been IN
covered in this city in recent days is
the alliance Of the government Of
the public schools of Chicago with
the black belt gamblers of South
State street and the Second ward. :"
With this for a starter, Charles A.
Belize, a coal operator, spoke last
night to supporters of Aid. Robert M.
Buck in an organization meeting at
5611 Chicago av. He said that the
disclosures Of States Atty Hoyne,
proceedings in Judge Lands court
and the grand jury indictments show
that the school board enemies of Aid.
BUCK seem to be working hand in
hand'with the most sinister political
forces in Chicago.
In nearly every instance where
Aid. Buck has taken a public-spirited
course lOn the city council schools
committee he has met opposition
from two sources. On the commit

constantly opposed Buck, while on

there appears to be a complete work.

Sen. Baldwin at Springfield aimed at

are political allies and associates.

showing up these facts now except
that the enemies Of Aid. Buck
ought to be shown up exactly for
what they are. If we of the SD ward

STAYS BABY WITH GERMAN
FATHER-FRENcH GIRL FREED


Paris, Jan: Is. - Josephine Bar
theImy, 20 years old, killed her baby.
Today she stood acquitted Of the
crime by jury Of Frenchmen-and
applauded by her compatribts.
The reason was that Josephine's
baby had a German father. That's
why killed it, she told the jury.
Her, story was one Of the many
that have been heard in France-of
girls attacked by German soldiers
and of unWelcome babies. Josephine
Barthelmy's lawyers appealed to the
jury which tried her for infanticide
with the plea, Would you condemn
this girl for stifling life of child of
one of those who killed Frances
sons and violated Frances daugh-
ters?"
It was recalled today in connec-
ton with Josephine's Vindication
that the French government has re-
established the cradle Of shadows
which before separation of church
and state in France in 1902 was a
feature of every convent. This was
a cradle placed just outside the con-
vent with bell attached. Mothers
might leave their children there, ring
the bell and disappear, certain that
the nuns would rescue the child.

BIRMINGHAM FIRMS FURNISH SUPPLIES TO
 HATTIESBURG CAMP

William A. Hudiburg, purchasing agent for the United States government at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss, and brother-in-law of Frank Req, editor of the Birmingham Magazine has been fur nished through the Birmingham Civic association with list of Birmingham dealers and 1t seems that Birmingham iobbers are on to therr jobs from the way they are getting business out Of the Hattiesburg camp.
 The hardware dealers of Birmingham have already sold s1500o0 worth of goods to the government for Hattiesburg de- livery and there are many other lines being recognized. A local department store sold s400 worth of blankets re- cently on rush order.
 It is said this business is available to all Birmingham merchants If they will get on the mailing lists of tho gov- ernment and watch out for the calls for bids. The building has about been completed. and now the supplies will be bought to equip the camps, and calls for bids may be looked for on articles and goods of this nature soon

REPLY TO ROME

London, September 22.-The reply of the entente allies to the peace note of Pope Benedict now Is being awaited by the vatican, after which the pope will again address note to all the belligerents. The pontiff will point out that the ques- tions on which all agree really represent the foundation of a new order of things in the world and a new era of peace for humanity. The secondary problems, he will say, certainly can be adjusted easily and better through good will and friend ly discussion than by force of arms.
 It is understood that the next papal

 Officials believe that, heartened by the replies of the central powers, the pope will make a fresh attempt to bring the belligerents together at the peace table If he does, it was indicated that, while his note would receive courteous con sideration, it would strike no responsive chord so far as the United States is con- cerned unless. addressed directly to the points involved in Presient Wilson's re- ply to the first communication from the vatican.
 Notwithstanding the apparent sincerity of Austrias reply, some diplomats held the opinion that Germany was responsi- ble to a large measure for it's character. Many government officials, however ap- peared to think that Austria's response was the cry of government sickened by

 When I built the first submarine at once began to think out means of combating it. On soundings, or in com paratively shallow water, such as We had in the Gulf of Finland I suggested to Russia the sfnall submarine chaser of which we have built so many, with bombs to explode at given depths or on striking the submarine
 But such vessels are of no use in deep water where there is plenty of sea room
 The idea that some magnet-affected by the mass of submarine thousands of feet away may gIve notice of Its presence is visionary.
 No doubt an airplane could see sub marine at good depth and possibly drop bombs on 1t.
 Yet we see many seablrds flying and few fish brought up and usually these are got from a lowering position. I tried once dropping oranges on tugs passing under the Brooklyn bridge and did very poorly Yet I was standing still.

 The disclosures of the New York

CHECKING SUBMARINES

Where should the submarine boat be checked if it is to continue to sink 40Oo.- 900 tons per year? The one sure way IS where it is built and where it issues.
 "Helgoland must be taken or made harmless and the entrances to Zeebrugge and other bases blocked up in some way. policy of desperation will build submarines and send them forth with large supplies of torpedoes, even if they are never expected to come back, and once at sea most of them are effective. The factories can only be attacked with overwhelming air power-but the harbors or bases can be reached both by air and water.
 'tAs to the preparation. It Is a matter of thankfulness that our officers Of the army and navy are in control.
 For years we were told that armed tugs would repel foreign fleets and cob blestones foreign armies, by men who wished to draw the peoples salaries on the plea of saving their money. We have had sad awakening and now the devoted men of our two services with their connecting link, the gallant marine corps, are fitting us to fight.

FOOD IS WEAKEST SPOT

The weakest spot In the Teutonic ar nor is food. Their forests and their crops cannot be destroyed, however. OK cept by superior air forces.
 Such fleets of air vessels can be pro- duced and probably must be produced unless the German government admits the impossibility of winning and con sents to stop further slaughter.
 of course both sides now have fleets of such vessels and the German airplanes fo far beyond their battle lines.
 The United States must produce enough vessels to feed the forces of the allies during such construction.
 "The best England did was 1,SWWo tons of merchant shipping year. Speed Is now the best protection Of the merchant vessel, but speedy trans portation of freight is not economical. A vessel at 12 knots burns about twice as much coal as a vessel of the same size at 10 knots.
 "The only course is not to design even cargo carriers for peace service when | they are to be used in war. After-war- | use, while of vast importance, must give l way to present needs. l And if we are to have 15-knot cargo i carriers we must not expect too much l from our country where shipbuilding has heretofore been one of our great nationa l industries
