 In differentiating between the Mon, ca doctrine and pan-Amertcanism officials said the former was distinctly a national policy, while the latter was altruistic and international.
 No intlmation was given as to what would be considered the special inter- ests" of Japan, but the comparison was drawn with the position of the United States as regards Mexico. The text of the notes has been communicated to China through the Chinese embassy, but 1t was stated that no statment will be made here regarding China's position until some word has been received from Picking
 The complete accord reached between the United States and Japan, it was authoritatively explained, does not mean an alliance has been created be- tween the two countries such as eH- ists between Japan and Great Britain, although both nations do pledge them selves to definite line of action.
 Emphasis was laid in official discus sion on the last paragraph of the agree ment. This is the declaration that both countries are opposed to the acquisition by any government of any special rights or privileges that would affect the independence or territorial integrity of China, or that would deny to the subject or citizens of any country the full enjoyment of equal opportunity in the commerce or industry of China.
 This. 1t was explained. was precisely the same as the altruistic pan-Amer- icanism and both Japan and the United States by this declaration bound them selves to see that China obtaineA a square deal not. only at the hands of other nations. but from themselves as well.

Government is Considering Method to Stop Activity of PrO-Germans Along
 the Coast Line

New York. November 6.-As the re- suit of many fires along the Brooklyn waterfront and alb in other coast cities, an order declaring all territory within 100 miles of the coast line of the United States a bsxred zone is ex- pected by local federal officers to be issued within a few days. Such an or der would force Germans out of At lantic coast states and would affect thousands of Germans who have lived in big German centers, like New York for years, but who failed to foreswear the fatherland. It is estimated that moro than 600,Oo0 enemy aliens would be affected.
 At conference here yesterday, at which the Attorney General was rep resented, local federal officers empha- sized the necessity to safeguard the waterfront of New York and vicin- ity. The gravity of the situation, it was said, led the officials to decide upon broad course of action, which is expected to result in the barring of German aliens from all coast cities.
 
 Washington, November 6.-Attorney General Gregory declared today no or ders had been given to remove enemy aliens 100 miles from the coast line where they could not occupy observa- tion posts, but indicated that the gov ernment was seriously considering what steps should be taken to see that they gre in no position to gather in- formation of value in the sight of the enemy
 The attention of the secret service arms of the government has been di- rected for sometime to the fast that Germans and German sympathizers near the coast with practically no re- strictions on their activities other than actual iEternment were in position to observe the governments war &C., tlvlties to a great degree and might do much harm by communicating them to the enemy.

 a Different Man"

Ut sounds like it would be enoIigh to say that Tanlac relieved me of trou- : ble5 that made me miserable for 1 5 years, but that's not all this medicine did for me, for I've gained 12 pounds in weight besides, and feel like a diff ferent man."
 The above remarkable statement was mado on October 27 by M. R. Chapman. a master painter. who resides at APT Third street, Miami. Fla
 I've been a painter for 30 years" he continued, and for IS years of that time I've hardly known what 1t was to have a well day. My nerves were so torn up that my hand shook like a leaf and couldn't sleep at night my stom- ach was so upset that the sight of food made me sick and I would have spells of what is called painters collie, that would almost drive me dis tracted. My head would ache and swim until I cound hardly stay on a ladder and no medicine I took gave me any relief.
 That's what makes it seem so won derful to- be we'll again. I've taken seven bottles of Tanlac and I haven't had sign of my old trouble since. can eat like a farmland, sleep like a log and seem to feel younger as grow older. All could say wouldn't tell half the gratitude I feel to Tan lac.n

CAMPA|G PLANS
 NEAR COMPLETION

J. F. Rushton, general chairman of the Christian association and the Young Women's Christian association having in charge the raising of Birmngham's quota $7o,0e0 for war work purposes, together with the members of the committee IS completing the preliminary plans for the campaign which is to start next week. Mir Rushton is securing the cooperation of many of the local clubs and organiza- tionse as well as individuals and in- dications point to successful campaign
 The system of intensive training which requires the enlisted men to remain in camp practically all the time except Sat urday afternoon and Sunday increases the demand upon the Young Mems Chris tian association and its privileges for the soldier boys as they have no other agency in the camp for recreation and social relaxation than the association. The pro- gramme of the army association is meet ing this demand in every way and the men are crowding the buildings to the limit.
 The campaign for sSo0, ,O0O in Alabama is receiving the impetus it desires by the good people of our state, and the amount will be forthcoming by the end of next week.
 Tn Birmingham J. Frank Rushton is heading the campaign, and is meeting with success in getting the co-operation of good people in shaping up the cam paign for next week. All classes of citi- zens are lining up and are eager to par ticipate in this effort to aid the soldier boys. The campaign dates are November 11-19.

The peon passengers were still so bad " frightened they could only tell dis connected stories of what occurred Sun day morning on the desert 50 miles south Of Chihuahua City. The locomotive and two cars of the train were completely wrecked by the dynamite which had been placed on the track. The 50 train guards from the federal garrison at Torreon were either killed during the attack or executed soon after. Everyone on the train was robbed and made to disrobe, even the clothing of the women and chil- dren having been taken by the Villa fol- lowers for their camp followers
 The messenger for a large American company in Mexico is missing and the NOO,o0o worth of silver bullion which he was bringing to the border is also miss ing. The express messenger was Killed, as was the train conductor, and other railroad employees. the engine crew los ing their lives When the engine was blown up.
 Villas men first fired volley after voliey into the train, killing many guards and passengers. They then went through the coaches robbing passengers, killing many or the men and ordering others outside the train for execution.
 The passengers were then ordered to disrobe and, when two women refused. they were shot and seriously. wounded. All were left on the desert over nigh: without clothing.
 There were no Americans on the train A German boy who was coming to ths border was robbed of everything he owned and reached here ba.refooted wearing pair of ragged overalls and a high Mexican hat.

Ben Hur"-Jefferson

"Ben-Hur" comes to the Jefferson Mon charm, fascinate and elevate us with it's beautiful story. In characterization Lew Wallace's novel lost none of it's splendid qualities It is good for people that such a play as "Ben-Hur'' comes once m awhile. It is a pity that more like 1t Is not produced. In the whirlwind life Americans are leading it is too frequent ly that many persons forget the serious and sacred side of life entirely. Ben Hur' brings people back to a thought of better things of life. Its lesson Is mighty one. In the last scene of the play the wlole spirit of awe and reverence is brought to climax and an exaltation difficult to believe of the theatre is the result The moment is when Jesus ma.-es His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The populace are gathered without the gates singing Hosannas and casting flowers and palm branches in the pathway of the expected King. The actual presence of Christ is indicated by great white light, for the figure of Jesusis is never seen in thief lesh: but the effect is that of benediction and the crowd leaves the theatre after the impressive culmna- tion of the drama in awed and reverent mood.
 Seats for the enga cement of sBen-Hur''l will be placed on sale Friday.
