las been definitely settled. still
there is a continued effort in some
quarters to stir up resentment at
the governmental policy Of army
raising on the basis Of argumen-
tative opposition TO that means.
Perhaps some remarks made by
Congressman French Of Idaho on
the CONSUMPTION bill will answer
the objection Of any not actuated
by improper motives. The con-
gresham said:
Canada. with a population less
than the population Of the state
of New York. has contributed
nearly one-half a million men to
the armies Of Great Britain.
This contribution has been
made by volunteers. but our
friends who are urging the vol
unteer system upon the United
States do not tell all the story.
They do not tell that these men
are being paid handsomely for
their military service I'm cOmpari-
son with what men have been paid
within the United States, and
they do not tell that conditions in
Canada and Great Britain have
worked upon the men Of those
states a compulsion far more un-
just, far more cruel than any
thing that can be suggested, in
the selective draft which is re-
commended by the administra-
ton.
Go to a community in Canada,
if you please, and if there re-
mains still a young man who is
not incapacitated, who has not
enlisted. the ladies OF the com
munity are decorating him in
public with yellow streamers and
white feathers. He is being ques-
toned over and over why he is
not at the front. The little chill
dren in school are given badges
which read something like this
My daddy has enlisted, has
yours?' What must the father
Of the other little child think as
he attempts to explain the re-
sponsibilities that have been
placed upon him in life and
which the community cannot
grasp are such that he is doing
the greatest service that man can
10 by refusing to go to the front.
What must he think when the lit
tie child says: Daddy, why can't
/ wear one Of those badges?"
Indeed, it may be that it re-
quires much more courage. more
OF patriotism to bear the burden
that he has been asked to bear
than for him to meet the respon-
sibilities Of service at the front.
Would you have that kind Of
voluntary enlistment in your ar
my? That is precisely the kind
you would have in this country if
you adopt the voluntary system.
II would be the same in the
United States under a strict vol
unteer system. Men within the
age limit would be heckled and
badgered and abused and forced.
There would be no peace for them
unless they Joined the army.
So, after all, the voluntary system
is as compulsory as the conscrip-
ton and is not nearly so equit-
able; and assuredly our conscrip-
ton law is more Just than that Of
any other country adopting that
system after the volunteer system
had failed Notwithstanding the
social and business compulsion
connected with it.
Our so-called draft law. pro-
vides, in effect, for a listing Of the
lighting timber Of the country in
a manner that makes intelligent
selection possible without inter
fering with industries that might
be too heavily drawn upon under
a purely volunteer plan, and
while protecting dependents.

 Two Days

Mrs. Charles W. Collins, aged 70 years, died at her home last night at Allenville. Mrs. Collins was the eldest sister of Judge B. M Allen of Birmingham, who was notified of the death last night by telephone.

Allen, she is survived by one sister, Mrs. R. w Collins of Gallion and five children, four sons and one daughter, as follows:
 Allen M. Collins and Harry T. Collins of Allenville, Tom T. Collins of Birmnig ham, Berry H. Collins of New York and Mrs. Georfe Mckee of Faunsdale.

MANY TOWNS OF
 ALABAMA FACING
 COAL SHORTAGE
s. P. Kennedy, State Fuel Administrator, Says It Is Necessary to Be
 Saving

Montgomery, November 17.-(Special.) Alabama faces a serious coal shortage and every citizen should bend his efforts toward the conservation of every possible lump of coal, according to $. P. Kennedy, fuel administrator for Alabama, who re- turned to Montgomery Friday from An niston MT. Kennedy says in several cities there is no adequate coal supply and he is working out plans whereby the situation may be relieved.
 Among the cities short on coal sup plies are Selma, Anniston, Roanoke, Dothan, Troy and Eufaula. Quite a num- Der of smaller cities are running short and MT. Kennedy and his assistants are working to obtain a sufficient amount of coal to relieve the shortage for the pres ent.
 Mir. Kennedy attributes the coal scarci- ty to the abnormal demands, the short age of cars and the increases in exports of coal to foreign countries. He says practically every industrial plant in Ala bama is running full time for the first time in number of years and that this requires an additional amount of coal.
 Pointing out ways whereby citizens can conserve the supply MT. Kennedy says the use of wood in fireplaces and furnaces will help to a great extent. He says no fires should be burned all night and in steam heated houses no radiators should be left open in unoccupied rooms.

Dr. Bowling Effects Consolidation of Two
 of His Departments
Office of Chief Food Inspector Abol- ishd and One Inspector Dropped

City Health Officer Dr. J. D. Bowling announces that on December 1 the office of chief food inspector of the city of Birmingham will be abolished and this department transferred to the department of meat and milk inspection under the genel al supervision of E. M. Duncan city bacteriologist. Two inspectors now in this department will be transferred to the milk and meat inspection department, while a third inspector, James Donald son, will be dropped.
 Mrs. M. H. Willis, who has been con nected with the city health department for some time as chief food inspector, sewers her connection with the city on December 1, following this announcement by Dr. Bowling. This move is the re- suit of the plan of general economy in the department of health which is being put into effect, due to the citys lack of funds.
 A few days ago the resignation of w. c. Burson. chief sanitary inspector, was an- nounced by Dr. Bowling, and Inspector Lathem appointed as his successor.

FAMOUS POLLY IF THE CIRCUS AT THE
 STRAND THIS WEEK

Polly of the Circus,'' a wonderful Goldwyn picture, made from Margaret Mayo's great play, will be shown at the Strand theatre Thursday, Friday Satur- day and Sunday, with the famous little actress, Mae Marsh as it's star

 The threads of the romance are picked up by Polly and the minister when the circus comes back to the village another year.
 The most thrilling of the realistic scenes of circus life is the burning of the bg tent and the stampede of the audience. The horse race is another of the many thrilling scenes. This picture will remain at the Strand theatre for four days, be- ginning Thursday.

 Announces

'The honor of serving my native state as governor is one that appeals to me greatly, but the financial burden imposed upon one making q campaign at this time is such that I feel, in justice to my family and friends, I should not become candidate in the present campaign announced Charles E. McDowall of Eu- faula, i'll communication received in Birmingham.
 The announcement of MT. Mcdowell has created no little specula ton in Bir- mingham as to the relation it bears tc the fight that is to be waged by the To- cal optionists in the coming guberna- torial battle. MT. Mcdowell is a loc- cal optionist, and as his appearance in the field would necessarily. to some ex- tent, have divided the vote of that fac tion, 1t is believed that his decision is calculated to concentrate forces and throw the entire vote of that faction to John H. Wallace, Jr., the only candidate on the local option ticket now in the field.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Dec. ll.-Andrew Bonar
Law. chancellor OF the excheQuer. an
nounced in the House of Commons to-
day that Jerusalem, after being sur
rounded by British troops, had surren-
dered.
The capture Of Jerusalem by the
British forces marks the end, with
two brief interludes, Of more than l..
200 years possession Of the seat OF
Christian religion by the Mohamme'
dams. For 673 years the holy city has
been in undisputed ownership of the
Turks, the last Christian ruler OF Je-
rusalem being the German Emperor.
Frederick H., whose short.lived domi.
nation lasted from 1929 TO 1874.
Apart from its connection with the
campaign being waged against Turkey
by the British in Mesopotamia, the
fall Of Jerusalem was the definite col
lapse of the long-protracted efforts of
the Turks to capture the Suez canal
and invade Egypt. Almost the first
move made by Turkey after her en-
trance into dhe war was a campaign
against Egypt across the great desert
of the Sinai peninsula.
In sentimental and romantic aspect
the capture of Jerusalem far exceeds
even the fall of fable-crowned Bagdad.
The modern city of Jerusalem con-
tains about 10000 inhabitants, and is
the home of pestilence, filth and fe-
vers, but in historic interest it natu-
rally surpasses, to the Christian
world, all other places in the world.
Since the days when Joshua wrested
it from the hands of the Jebusites to
make it the capital OF the Jewish race,
Jerusalem has been the priced prey OF
half the races of the world. 1t has
passed successfully into the hands of
the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks,
Romans, Persians, Arabs, Turks. the
motley crowds of the Crusaders, fin
ally to fall before the descendants of
that Richard the Lion-Hearted who
strove in vain for its possession moro
than 700 years ago.
