Montevideo. Uruguay, october 2.-A dinner in honor of Admiral Caperton and other American naval officers was given last night by Dr. Baltazar Brun. the foreign minister. It was attended by President viera and many ministers, members of Parliament and diplomats.
 D.

Uru- quay had taken it's. place in this league of honor, said the minister and well comed the Americans because they rep resented force for liberty and justice.

WATERWAY MEETING
 WILL BE HELD IN FLORENCE SOON
Walter Parker Coming to North Alabama to Discuss the Question of River
 Transportation

Florence. October 26.-- Especially The citizens of north Alabama, and lh fact the entire state, will be glad to hear that Waiter Parker, assistant 10 the Secretary of commerce for in- tand water transportation, will, as soon as possible. make north Alabama a visit to take up the matter of de- Veioping transportation on the Ten hessee river, and will hold a meeting at Florence at this time, inviting all north Alabama citizens interested in water transportation to be present.
 The Florence Chamber of Commerce, which has been active in promoting transportation on the Tennessee, is preparing to make the occasion a memorable one and will give the guests a trip down the beautiful Ten nessee and will also make trip to the celebrated Muscle Shoals, where the visitors may see the rapids, which have a fall of over 100 feet within a few miles and the roar of which may be heard great distance.
 Transportation on the Tennessee from the Tri-Cfties to the centers of population in the north along the Ohio, Mississippi and Illinois rivers has recently attracted the attention of the iron and steel world, owing to the fact that iron is now being shipped from the Birmingham district hy rail to the river landings in the Tri-Cities, where it is loaded onto steamboats and barges and taken to the great manufacturing cities of the north. It is stated that a solid trainload of pig iron is taken in a single cargo and that this method of transportation is most satisfactory the iron being de- livered to it's destination in less time than 1t could be by rail and at less expense.
 Not only is iron being shipped in this way from the Birmingham dis trict but it Is being shipped from the blast furnaces of Florence and Shef- field by water as we'll, and hundreds of carloads have reached northern points in this way during the past few months
 BIG RIVER FLEET PLANNED
 The announcement that fleet C IA large steel barges and two power ful steel steamboats for towing will be built for the Keystone Steel and Wire company of Peoria, H., to carry pig iron from the Fri Cities to Peoria, which is on the Illinois river, Is of great importance to the iron sections of the state, inasmuch as 1t insures greater transportation facilities from the iron centers of the south to the iron using centers of the north and enables southern iron to better com pete with the northern product
 Birmingham grain dealers and grain dealers in the southeast in general are taking considerable interest in the ex- tensive development of water trans portation from the northwest to Ala bama. for in it they see a means for the shipping of western grain by wa- ter to Alabama for distribution over the southeast at minimum freight rate.
 When MT. Parker visits north Ala. bama and views the Tennessee river he will see a stream on which inland water transportation has been well started. but one on which great thinSs are yet to be done, and his coming

RED CROSS SHIPMENT

The largest shipment of supplies for the soldiers yet sent from the Flor 7. ence Red Cross chapter was made ] few days ago, and contained the fol- lowing: Fifty-six pairs pajamas, 209 bed shirts one nightingale, SS frac- ture pillows, 51 dozen slings, II dozen napkins, three and three-foure.ls dozen washrags, one-half dozen hand kerchiefs. The following articles have been handed in and are awaiting ship ment later: Seven mufflers, four sweaters, six pair wristlets, four pair sox, one pair bed sox. The name of the local chapetr has been changed by orders from headquarters, from Lau- derdale County Red Cross chapter to Florence, Alabama, Red Cross chap ter. The chapter is now comfortably located in the second floor of the gov ernment building and while much good work has been done. more sewers are badly needed and all who can are urged to come and help sew or take sewing home, as there is a great de- mand for more supplies
