them to lay down their arms.
Every time senator undertakes to
hamstring his government by block
ing necessary legislation, casting dis
credit on the motives of America or
endorsing this clever German man.
euver or that, the news goes swiftly
to Petrograd and the Shiny creatures
that do Germany's work on the Field
of Mars chuckle and are glad.
They have been provided with a
fine fresh lot of ammunition.
The machinery to get it quickly to
Russia as soon as it appears in the
senate must have been set up long
ago
There is no question that it is won
derfully alert, active and efficient.
Special Commission
For instance, the moment the spe-
cial commission to Russia was sug-
gested last April flood of propagan-
da was let loose to hamper it's work.
Every conceivable lie about it, it's
objects, the men that composed it, the
government and people of the United
States, the aims of the United States
in the war, was turned loose by mail
upon Russia and a battalion Of agents
sent along to spread the poison and
see that it took hold.
Germany's desperate need was that
Russia should not be aggressive in
the war. Germany must therefore null
lily the eject of the commissions WIS.,
it, and there was the way to do it.
All these things show very plainly
the existence in this country of a
monstrous and cunningly directed
German machine.
They also show the appalling chan
ces that ignorant or disloyal men in
congress take when they try to hob
BILE this country in the great work it
has undertaken to do.
1t is not for me to dwell upon a
situation that drives thoughtful men
abroad from their sleep, but ask you
merely these questions:
At this stage of the game, what do
you think would happen If Germany
were to break through that Russian
line?
And what can keep her from break
ing through but the spirit and united
purpose of the Russian people?

If they waver again, say no bitter

Captain Mates Killed.
The killing of Captain Joseph W.

cruelty on the part of his slayers, &C.

Wounded by rifle bullets, Captain
Mates was surrounded by the mutiny-

with bullets, hacked and stabbed In
many places by bayonets.
His skull was torn to bits, and when
discovered it was almost unrecogniz-

unknown wounded man was shot
three times in the left arm and once
in the back. He said:
II heard shooting and man, whose
name l never learned, fell apparently

assistance, and called on an automo-

trying to put the wounded man in
the car, bullets spattered all about
me. l could do nothing more, and
soon became weak because of loss of
blood.'

 ach or bowels

A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, mother! It coated, or your child is listless. cross feverish, breath bad. restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, and in q few hours all this constipation poison sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have q well, playful child again A thorough inside cleansing is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "Callfornia Syrup of Figs which has full directions for babies. children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup company. .'-Adv.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-25

in such stupendous sums that representa- tives of the government including Mir. Harding, are advocating not only the ex- penditure of that vast amount which war would entail but the lending of $1,- GOO 0O0 to England and France with no other security than the promise of those allied governments to repay.
 i The situation which makes necessary. the converting of Congress in extra ses- sion, could be treated within a week The President will ask for authority and money with which to use that authority. He will ask that the army and other supply bills be hastily enacted. Without prolonged debate, both requests will be granted Congress could then be ad- journed.
 CONGRESS WILL LINGER
 It is safe to state, however, that such will not be the case. In addition to the extraordinarily grave situation respect ing Germany, there are other important matters demanding the attention of the lawmakers. In view of the impending crisis a strong sentiment for universal military training has displayed and ex- pressed itself. Senator Chamberlain is openly hopeful that his measure will be rapidly enacted, and it is now reported that President Wilson is of the opinion that it's stipulations are essential to the
  other important question which Congress must answer concerns ways and means to protect the public against industrial strikes and lockouts.
 The division on these matters will be as sharply drawn it is indicated as if the shadow of actual war had not been east or as if labor asitators. just yes- terday. it seems, had not threatened in the time of an International crisis, to tie q c4n T,, the long run, the President, if he persists, will succeed in securing legislation pro- viding for universal military training, and legislation preventing prior to an investigation a legal strike or lockout. But so much time will in the meantime be consumed that it is safe to predict ali almost endless session. Furthermore, during the progress of war with Ger many, it is highly improbable that Con- gress will for any length of time ad- journ.
 The tie vote in the House which will make impossible rapid and facle or ranizati impossible will not, it is learned today. interfere with the plans of the President. Tn the first place, MT. Wilson has taken the position that he can ad- dress Congress even when the House is unorganzed. In the second place, there is disposition on the part of both re- publicans and democrats to obviate by any honorable means long and bitter partisan fight. If such a struggle ap- pears unavoidable, it is believed that lead CTS will agree to temporary or even bipartisan organization. A temporary organization would mean the continua- ton of the organization which existed during the session just closed. bi- partisan organization could be achieved by the reelection of MT. Clark to the snea xershin and z a division among re- publicars and democrats of chairman ships.
 Patriotism has so completely displaced rartisanship, however that in the cur rent emergency. no one seems greatly to care who achieves the honor of poli- tics, provided the honor of the country
 is uniformly and consistently maintained.
