ANOTHER COLD WAVE HITS
 CITY WITHOUT WARNING
Slight Snowfall Features Sudden drop in Temperature Yes terday Afternoon-Wind Reaches High velocity-Mer-
 cury Down to Ten Degrees Today

Another uninvited and unannounced cold wave descended upon Birmingham last night, and bids fair to finger for a little visit.
 Just as the old burg was congratulating herself that she had survived the almost unprecedented cold of the past few days, and that soon the blossoms would be blooming, the birds would be singing. and spring, in all her youthful glory, would be among us-why, just as she was reminiscing thusly, down drops the mer- cury. and up comes the collar and-she's gone again.
 This second cold wave which, by the way. isn't the slightest relation to the one just passed. sent in it's card yester- day afternoon about 5 o'clock, when a trace of snow fell over Birmingham. The tiny flakes fell for about an hour, but the fall was not sufficient to be meas ured at the weather bureau, and when

THORNWE[L HAYNES MAkESSTR0NG PLEA Discusses War Situation and Pleads For Making, Not
 Destruction, of Men

Thornwel Haynes, the new president Of Birmingham college. filled the pupit of the First Christian church yesterday indisposed. He was introduced by w. S. Stallings of the local Y. M. c. A.
 Dr. Haynes has been in Birmingham only a few months, but Birmingham au- diences have already learned to listen with attention to any utterance he makes. It was a spiritual, uplifting ser vice experienced yesterday by the mem bers of this First Christian church.
 The clean and dependable Age-Her- ald," said President Haynes, brings us rurnors of war this morning, and we are depressed. Here in our great America we have 30 many beautiful feathered songsters, the robin and lark and mock ing bird, but only the eagle, the filth lest in all the pathological cataiog. IS worthy to be our emblem In England they have so many splendid animals, but only the lion, the fiercest of the jungle, Is fit to fly on an English flag. In Russia it is the bear. Tn Germany and Austria Hungary it Is also the eagle.
 And 50 this Is the breeder of war And mans hatred will always explode until ones patriotism reaches beyond the confines of his own country. God loves German Just as much as a Jap or an Englishman. but unfortunately. we boast to differ with God and it is for this reason that l regret not only our pro- pensity to make a Chinaman good enough to go to heaven and yet unfit to enter America, but doub1y regret a geographical love bounded by the At lartic and Pacific. Until we can see that the German eye is as blue and his hair as fair as any other of the sons of men, we will remain tainted by the spirit of Cain'
 of men instead of destroying men. and the effect of his appeal was very per ceptible.

Capt. Hutchinson Believes U. s. Would Wage Large
 ly a Defensive War
OUR FORCES MIGHT
 FINALLY GO ABROAD
Navy to Play Important Part From the Beginning-Volunte Must Be Trained Before Offen-
 sive Is Begun

In event of war with Germany it is the opinion of Capt. James B. Hutch inson, the ranking military officer of recruiting in Alabama, that the Uni ted States would wage defensive war. In his opinion the United States would follow one of three plans:
 The first and immediate plan
 would be to withdraw thesregular
 army from the border and station
 it on the Atlantic seaboard, in ad-
 dition to mobilizing the militia to
 full strength.
 The second would be to mobilize
 the National Guard to full
 strength; station the forces of the
 National Guard and the regular
 army on the Atlantic seaboard and
 at other points; issue a call for
 5000 or 100000 volunteers i'm
 mediately.
 The third plan, calling for ac
 ton in France, would be for the
 United States to protect itself
 with the regular army and Ma
 tional Guard until it could train a
 force of two or three million men.
 When the men are properly
 trained they are to be sent to join
 the allied armies and other vol
 unteers accepted.
 Captain Hutchinson has seen service in the Spanish American war, when he entered as a private. Since the close of the last war he has served for several years in the Philippines and is regarded as practical fighter. ilasmuch as he has been highly com mended by the ranking officers and promoted.
 A DEFENSIVE WAR
 "It is my private opinion that in lations with Germany leads to dec- iaration of war, that the United States would wage a defensive warfare" said Captain Hutchinson. There is a pos- sibility that American forces would eventually go abroad to wage war, but the first demand would be to prop erly protect the United States.
 Perhaps the greatest service that the United States could render in breaking the power of Germany would be to increase it's supply of munitions to the entente powers. Russia has han dreds of thousands of men who are in training for war. believe that the government would seek to send i'm mense munitions supplies to the coun- tries now waging war against the cen- tra1 powers. Russia needs more shells, clothing and other war munitions for its soldiers. The warships of the Uni ted States might be used to carry sup plies of munitions and food to the warning nations, in addition to tho merchant marine.

COURT DECISION
WILL NOT AFFECT THE DRY
LAW OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 14.-That the de-
cision OF the United States supreme
court in the Idaho liquor case will
not affect the enforcement OF the pro-
hibition law in South Dakota, Is the
opinion of Attorney General Cald-
we'll.
What that decision virtually
does" said the attorney general, sis
to uphold the general attitude on the
subject which state officials here
have taken. 1t gives the state abso-
lutte power to make its own prohibit
tion laws and in effect declares that
section "A of our dry statute Is con-
stitutional. That has been the only
point at issue in this state. Some
people have had the idea that we
were going beyond u authority In
enforcing that section literally. We
have permitted liquor in the home
the only place where n law is ST.
lent-if the requirements of the Sec
tion are met.
II do not know the exact nature OF
the Idaho law or the case involved,
but the supreme court decision
sweeps away any lingering doubt as
to the constitutionality of our law on
liquor and says a state may make
such law on the subject as 1t gees
fit and that a citizens has no inalien'
able right to liquor"
