Washington, January 6-(SpeciaL)
 Congress hesitated to indorse the ac- ton of President Wilson in asking Eu- ropean belligerents to state their peace terms
 The reason is attributable to the fact that the President has not publicly stated just what he meant when taking action. There are two versions: 1. The peace note was in fact warn ing to Germany that unless it hesitated longer to resume it's former mode of
 submarine warfare the United States
 would, against it's will, take up arms. g. The peace note, following fast or
 the heels of Germany's tentative re- quest for peace, was intended as an emphatic indorsement of that request. The reasons why each member of Congress has his version have been made known.
 In the first place the New York World printed an article thought to have been inspired stating that the President took action because of the fact that this government, day by day, was drawing closer to the verge of war" The same article was carried simultaneously in many other demo- cratic newspapers, including The Age
 Herald. In the second place, the New
 York Herald, and other anti-adminis- tration papers, declared that the note
 was not a note of warning but really a note urging neutrals to aid in pro-
 German movement for peace. Proof of
 the Herald deduction Is offered. That paper declares the President asked Spain and other neutra1s, through lips
 of American agents, to take hold of the
 situation-that as now was the psy-
 cological moment, all neutrals should
 strike for peace.

ALABAMA BOYS IN
 EXCELLENT HEALTH Infantrymen Now Snug for Arizona Cold Weather ARE USING NEW TENTS Pyramidal Tent Has Many Advant- ages Though Some of the Men

ARE USING NEW TENTS
By M. HARVIE

Camp stephen A. Little, Nogales, Ariz., December &.-(Special Correspondence.) The Alabama brigade is still making progress and the men are in excellent health and spirits. They are working hard and earning what they call their ssthree and a half day"-three square meals and half dollar.
 They are getting to be more like vet eraf soldiers. for they have six months of hard service to their credit and have become hard men, in consequence. They have improved so greatly in physique that there is no doubt that a mobiliza- tion like that of last June Is more than

paid for by the great physical improve ment of the thousands who answer the call.
 Certainly the converting of thousands of stoop shouldered, flat chested boys into husky young swashbucklers Is well worth while to the nation, and the results in better health and greater endurance must be of untold value to the indi- viduaI. No matter what the sacrifices may have been. hardly a soldier in serv- Ice on the border will fail to derive ben eft from the experience. We know of no one who has not improved in health and strength during the past six months service.
 The health of all the troops in this dis trict has been excellent. Many of the Alabamians have been on the sick list with the grip during the past few weeks, and as all those who show the slightest symptoms are sent to the base hospital, many wild rumors have gone back home, to the great anxiety of parents and rela- tives. The truth of the matter is that the general health of the men making up the brigade Is far better now than it was before the call.

 The Rev. Charles H. Surgeons keen wit was always based on sterling com mon sense. One day he remarked to one of his sons:

Many Presidents have been chosen since its introduction to humanity
 The greatest industrial development took place during this period the most wonderful inventions conceived by man were brought out or put into general use.
 In the age of Sloans Liniment these events have become history:
 The Washington Monument dedicated The Brooklyn Bridge opened to traffic. ! Statue of Liberty erected
 The North and South Poles discovered. The first international yacht race was held. Maud s. made her record of 2.0834.
 Queen Victoria. General Grant, Emperors Frederick. William. Popes Leo and Plus. and long list of world figures died.
 The telephone became part of the daily life. Linotype operated the modern newspaper. The electric light illuminated our cities. The Panama Canal was dug The motion picture arrived
 Drivers of horse cars who used Sloan's Liniment for aching muscles and stiffened joints, then be- came motormen on the pioneer trolley cars.
 In the span of years covered by this remedy the automobile has taken the place of the horse; the flying machine has carried the battles of men into the skies wireless telegraphy has made captive the ether waves ot space; the phonograph was born.
 The age of concrete and steel came and sky scrapers filled the land.
 Soan's Liniment went through the Cuban war, Spanish war, the struggle between China and Japan. the Russo-Japanese war; the Boer war. the Balkan wars. rebellions in Mexico and South

and at the bug1e call. each man stiff fens to attention" while the buglers sound to the colors."
 The sight of hundreds of dusty, weary men silently paying their re- spects to the flag out there in the desert, while the sunset turns the world into a glory of crimson and gold, is one well worth seeing.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-01-07
HAS ITS DISADVANTAGES

The latest model shelter tent does not use any poles, the soldiers rifle serving for that purpose. This saves the trouble of carrying the pole, and | would seem to be a fine idea. But most | ot the boys prefer the old model for | several reasons. One is that any shel- l ter tent is easily knocked down, and when a rifle Is used as a pole, whoever | happens to be inside at the time it
 falls is sure to "get beaned" One of l the good points of the old tent is that
 1t can be knocked down without dam | age to it's occupants. Often a man will awake at reveille to find that somebody has knocked his house down l during the night and buried him under | the ruins.
 l In this country many prefer not to | pitch" at alk for there is no rain or | dew. and the shelter half can be used
 as a blanket. So 1t often happens that | the soldier. after having crawied into
 his blankets. will Accidentally" kick the tent down, roll up in it and go happily to sleep.
 | It Is fine sight to see an infantry l regiment go into bivouac after a hard days march. The camp site has been chosen and ground marked off for each company. The wagon train has come | up and each wagon driven to its place ! at what will be the head of its com pany street. The kitchen detail has | gone to work getting supper ready, with the big coffee bucket going on the fire first of all, for the infantryman 1 at the end of the march wants his ~hot ] Java" in a hurry.
 | AS the column swings from the road 1 to the camp ground each company 1 turns off at its proper place and forms l in what is to be it's own street At the command the company takes inter vals." each man stepping off so as to
 be four paces distance from his neigh | bor. Each then unslings his pack and
 in a few minutes a long row of little | pup tents has sprung up.
 The tents pitched, each squad gets | its extra blankets, overcoats, and kit | bag from the wagon and makes every-
 thing ready for the night As the men l in each tent put their blankets to-
 gether to make one bed, each man has i practically six blankets. The ground l in the tent is carefully dug up to make | as soft a mattress as possible. The
 heavy army overcoat makes an excel l lent blanket also. and is gratefully used as such, though many claim that | 1t is warmer to sleep in an overcoat than under 1t.
 1 The last duty of the day is to stand. retreat. This ceremony. simple but im- uressive is never neglected Each
 opany ssembles il it's own street.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 16.-Renewal of
hope that the railroad strike would be
averted led to rally in wheat prices
this afternoon. offsetting, to a large
extent, depression which resulted from
orders that the walkout of employees
begin on Saturday evening. The mar
ket closed unsettled, ranging from rs C
net lower to &c advance, with May at
s1.S2A to S1.S3 and July at s1.547s to
s1.551B Corn gained q &C to l &c and
oats 12c to q In provisions the out
come varied from TIC decline to a rise
of 10 cents.
Developments in the railroad con-
troversy ruled wheat throughout the
session. The chief basis for the rally
was a report that President Wilson
would mediate in the railroad strike
if he were asked.
Announcement that a cabinet meet
ing would discuss the tie-up and that
the prospects of government interven-
ton were increasing helped the late
upturn in wheat prices. Little, if any
attention was given to factors other
than the railroad deadlock, the trade
virtually ignoring such important sub
| jects as the revolution in Russia and
the official enGeavors to fix a price
standard for the whole Canadian crop.
Corn, like wheat. was under pressure
| early, but toward the last received
good support.
Meanwhile, though shipping demand
| was at a standstill on account of the
| belt railway here refusing to accept
cars Oats duplicated the action of
| other grain. Business was almost en-
tirely local.
Provisions averaged higher with
| hogs. Houses with eastern connections
| led the buying.

COUNCIL VOTES To
BUY c. { {. PLANT

MESA, March 17.--After months of
figuring. the Mesa city council and
the management of the Southside Gas
4 Electric plant have succeeded in
getting together and at called meet
ing of the council held Thursday
night it was voted to recommend the
purchase of the plant at a price of
S113,000 This includes the company's
plant and franchise for all holdings
within the city limits, as well as the
auxiliary plant northwest of town. H.
l.. Chandler retains all suburban lines
and the business of Chandler and
Tempe. The gas and electricity for
the continuation of the business he re-
tains are to be furnished to him at cost
for period of five years. The coun-
cilmen who voted for the measure were
Beach, Scott, Riggs and Beville Vault
and Maier were not present and Davis
was in Los Angeles. AS soon as pre-
iminaries can be arranged the ques-
ton Will be put up to the people for
their acceptance or rejection. The cost

Should the voters decide to purchase
the plant, the matter of a necessary
addition to the present city hail quar-
ters will be decided on. The SUCCESS
ton made by the council is building
across the front of the present build
ing with offices for the water, gas and
electric department, the police court,
a rest room, library room and space
for the Commercial club. The probable
expense for this much needed addition
would be around $4,000.
