Germany is believed to have added other American lives to her roster of death in her intensified submarine Healdton has been sent to the bottom by torpedo in the North sea. One of the crew is known to have died in a small boat that put away from the sinking vessel and 14 others are be- lieved to have been killed by the ex- plosion of the torpedo. Only seven of the crew of 3S are known to have been landed.
 Haste continues to be made through the country in order to bring it into state of preparedness to meet az gressions by Germany on American lives and commerce. Nothing new has been vouchsafed regarding the report that the expectation in Berlin Wednes- day was that Germany would declare war against the United States in IS hours. It is stated, however that the German imperial chancellor left Ber- lin that day for general headquarters for conference with Emperor Will liam and Field Marshal von Einden burg on important questions concern ing foreign politics

THE WAR SITUATION

reports that between the Somme and the Olse the Germans made successlVe E violent attacks against the freiich troops holding the east bank Of the St Quentin canal, but that the Frencn machine guns stopped them.
 Attacks also were delivered by lne Germans near LaFere and between the Laon road and the River Aisne, put the French barrage broke them up London reports that from the south of Arras to the west of St. quentin along the entire British front, the Ger mans are stiffening their resistance increasingly. The only advance by the entente along the French front is claimed by the French, who crossed the Ailette river at several points.
 There has been renewal of actiV- ity on the Russian front in the Wilma region. Here the Germans made an ad- vance over a front of two and half miles east of Lida and captured 225 Russians and a number of guns. Petro- grad admits the advance, but says that later the territory was retaken. In Galicia near Brody, German attacks have been repulsed.
 The Turks in Persia are still in re- treat before the Russians. says Petro- grad. Nothing new has come through concerning the operations of the Brit ish against the Ottomans north and northeast of Bagdad
 The entente allies are still on the offensive against the forces of the cen tral powers in Macedonia, but Berlin says that attacks north of the Mon astir have been repulsed. The usual artillery duels and minor infantry at tacks continue in the Austro- Italian sector.

MAY STOP PLAN OF
 HUGE CLOTH SIGNS .ON VACANT STORES
Suggestion of Jemison Fa- vorably Received by Real Estate Men-Huddles-
 ton Speaks on Canal

Nothing is doing more to give visitors as well as local people bad impress sion of real @state conditions in Birming- ham than the big cloth signs announcing stores and buildings for rent" said Rob- ert Jemison. Jr., in talk at the luncheon of the Real Estate exchange at the Hill man yesterday
 'In adition, these huge painted ban ners are so expensive they constitute a useless waste as a. small card placed in the window would do as well. It would be a good thing for the real estate men of Birmingham if all would agree to this propositions.
 The suggestion of MT. Jemison was so favorably received that 1t will come up for vote on the part of all members at the earliest meeting.
 GO AFTER TROPHY
 Hill Ferguson discussed the progress being made in the campaign of the local exchange tc win the trophy to be award ed at the National association meeting in Milwaukee in July. He urged fur ther efforts on the part of the members. In speaking of the accomplishments or the organization he mentioned the good work done in the matter Of entertaining visiting real estate organizations, which had visited Birmingham from time to time; to the increase in the appraisal work of the exchange and other things accomplished He declared that the ex- change had the best record for attend ance at the weekly luncheons of any sim liar body in the country
 MT. Huddleston talked of the Valley creek canal, and assured the members of the exchange that if they would get a favorable report from the government engineers he would see that a bill was passed in Congress for digging the canal.
 MUST HAVE HELP
 "Of course I can't take a pick and shovel and go out and dig the canal my self' said MT. Huddleston. T m just a little one horse congressman, but I as- sure you that if you will get a favor- able report on the proposition from the government engineers, l will get bill passed through Congress for constructing the canal.'
 MT. Huddleston charged that there was a lack of interest on the proposition on the part of the local press, and declared that the government was not going to build the canal unless it was known that the people wanted it.
 Senator Frank S. White spoke of the direct benefits the real estate men re- ceived from any development or advance ment in Birmingham and the district.
 Brief talks were made by T. H. Mol ton and others

Heflin Shows Figures
 to Prove Cotton Crops
 Not Near Consumption

Washington, March 22.-(Special.) Representtive Heflin of Alabama in a statement given to the press today dis closes a startling situation with regard to the worlds supply of cotton for 1917. The statement is as follows: Fig ures obtained from the bureau of the census and from other reliable sources show that the world consumed in 1916 21,011. 900 bales of cotton and in Octo- Der of that year there were 5SO,o00 bales of old cotton on hand.
 The world crop for 1916 is 15,S22, 2,000 bales. Add to this amount the 5S0,000 bales of old cotton left over October 1, 1916, and you have 16, ,402,O00 bales to supply cotton mills in 1917 that con- sumed 21.011,00O bales of cotton in 1916.
 The worlds consumption of cotton in 1916 exceeds the worlds supply for 1917 by 4.609.00O bales. The cotton mills of the United States consumed 100000 bales last year.
 If our mills consume that much this year that will leave only 4,442,000 bales to go into foreign countries where 7,S13,O0o bales went year ago.
