Alabama in the
 Industrial Census

7f7iIE United States government
 U takes an industrial census by states and cities every five years. This quinquential enumeration of the number of manufacturing industries, the number of wage earners employed, the amount of capital invested and the value of the products for the five year period is carefully compiled and the statistics set forth in convenient tabulated form.
 But because of the very thorough ness of the undertaking the result has never been ready for publication until three years after the field work was begun. The census of 1914 is just now presented in bulletin issued by the bureau. If the statistical matter seems some what stale it is of much inter- est, neverthless, showing as 1t does
 Il detail comparisons oetweee previ- ous industrial census years.
 in 1914 Alabama had of all manu- featuring industries 3242 establish ments. as compared with 330S in 1907 ard 1882 in 19O4-percentage of in crease from 1904 to 1909 little more than so. In 1914 there were 7S,717 wage workers and the value of the products that year totaled s178,797,- 633. Capital investeds $2275O5,432; ]; salaries and wages paid, $42,348,20o.
 Especial attention was given to coal and coke, iron, steel, timber products and cotton seed oil The importance of the agricultural industry is s1stressed md. on the whole, the census bureau :iyes Alabama very high rank in pro auction.
 In each of the cities of the state acre was marked gain in the mum. Der Of wage workers engaged. In the yolume of manufactured products l Birmingham showed an increase ol s19 o16,O07, or 7S.S per cent. An out 1 line map of the city of Birmingham and it's slvirons is printed in the bull l letin.
 The Birmingham metropolitan dis trict" is described thus: It embraces a55.334 acres, of which 32,020 acres constitute the area of Birmingham ant t23.314 acres the area of the outside territory. In 1914 the estimated pop
 ulation of "the city proper" wal l l66,154 and that of the outside terri l tory 76,416, the total population Q
 the district being 242,s70. The dis l trict comprises in addition to thu
 central city 30 precincts and portions
 of precincts in Jefferson county an' two precincts in Shelby county, ly ing within 10 miles of Birmingham
 boundary line.
 In Birmingham alone the average number of wage workers was tatet
 at 1O,6S3 as compared with S99S | 1909 and 39s7 in 1904. The value [

GERMAN AUTOCRACY IN WAR

GERMAN NAUTOCRACY IN WAR
 From the American Review Of Reviews.
 In respect to Germany's international conduct, the facts of history will speak for themselves. Having adopted the view that might makes right. and that Ger many was entitled to anything in the world that she could grasp and hold. the German autocracy proceeded to make ready for Germany's future of expansion and domination. We have repeatedly ex- pressed the opinion that the imperial
 policies of Germany's rivals have in many instances been pursued by inde- feasible methods. But British imperial ism, whatever its mistakes or it's mis- deeds, is always. subject to the redeem ing and chastening power of the British democracy. If the British jingoes took ths Boer republic, let it be remembered that the British liberals, by way of resti- Boers and gave them the whole of South
 Africa to boot The policies for German imperial aggrandizement as worked out 1 by the Kaiser and the military, naval, and commercial magnates who form the | ruling autocratic clique. have been very different from those that characterized the British empire during a correspond 1 ing period of time Great Britain has
 not, in fact, been a menace to liberty | whether within British realms or in other countries. No small state in Europe I has had any reason to be afraid of Great | Britain or of France.
 l Not only, moreover. have the aims of
 the German autocracy been menace to the world, but Germany's methods in 1 her conduct of this war, and in her ro- lations to other peoples, have fully de-
 served President Wilson's unsparing de-
 nunciation He was not. in this answer
 to the pope, dwelling upon matters Of
 detail. Otherwise he might have laid
 the Armenian massacres at Germany's door. It was Germanys assault upon Belgium that overcame the reluctance of the British liberals to enter the war. 1t was the resumption of submarine atroci- ties on a great scale that turned the tide of sentiment in this country and forced declaration of war from paci-
 fist administration and pacifist demo-
 cratic Congress. The intrigues and un- worthy deeds of German diplomacy in
 neutral countries have continued to form a part of this general programme of ! heinous misconduct that has made Ger
 manys war methods increasingly abhor- rent to the public opinion Of all man. I kind

Now for Liberty
 Bond Subscriptions

Bond Subscriptions
 17HHIS is the week for Birmingham's
 4 second liberty loan campaign.
 The subscriptions here for the two
 billion bond issue totalled six million
 dollars-double the amount of the al
 lotment. The city's apportionment for 1 the three billion dollars loan is four
 million, five hundred Nousand dollars,
 and there should be scarcely doubt as to another oversubscription.
 The bond sale has been slow in the great financial centers, but that IS because the campaigners have not or ganized drives as was done for the first loan. If there has been apparent
 apathy with regard to the new bonds | it will be shaken off at once. Patriotism is as strong now as 1t
 was the day the United States de-
 clared war against Germany. All that is needed to make the three billion dollar loan a success is a good stir IT,, up. Birmingham will do it's part. Lets make mighty drive this week. j: * * And now dairymen's trust is ac- cused of trying to get stranglehold on the throat of the ultimate consumer.

Liberty Loan

s.The downward trend of values con
 tinued another week with but slight in remission" said Henry Clews of New York. Explanations are profuse; all, or nearly all, having their origin i'll the war and it's effects Derangement of the money market Is the inevitable and most conspicuous influence. It Is almost su- perfluous to remark that billions or money cannot be diverted from produc- tive channels to destructive purposes without serious disturbance and exten- sive readjustment. The latter process IS now going on at rapid pace, although much confused by innumerable conflict
 ing currents. The placing of the second liberty loan is now the all-absorbing task of the day. The success of the Amer
 ican army and navy Is dependent Upon
 the success of raising these enormous sums of money Patriotism and self-in- terest alike make this the subject or first consideration until success is at tained. The entire country, including all classes of workers and producers, should devote liberal portion of their savings to this purpose"

Everett Brown Going to Atlanta

came here eight years ago rom Chicago to take charge of the Birming- ham office of the Oliver Typewriter company, having been with them al- together 12 years,' said Everett N. Brown.
 T am now leaving for Atlanta, having accepted position as district sales man agef for the Columbia Graphophone com pany, taking charge of their dictaphone department. This gives me much wid- CT field of endeavor, as I will have seven states under my control with subonices and dealers In all the principal cities of the south. will have an office here under my control, which will require me to return on business from time to time. For two years I turned the Atlanta offer down because I hated to leave my frlends and this wonderful city of Birmingham, but the offer was so attractive that had to accept it as it put much more money in my pocket.
 Tt is a regrettable fact that on ac- count of the cantonment in Atlanta 1t IS hard for one to find a suitable place to live, and when it is accomplished, the price for couple ranges from sso 10 a1O per month in private families"
