TO BUILD HUGE NAVAL BASE
Work Will be Started at Once al
Hampton Roads.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels yes
terday took the first step toward the
creation in Hampton Roads of the
greatest base in the history of the
American navy.
Under authority Of Presidential
proclamation, Rear Admiral Walter
Mclean. commandant of the Norfolk
Navy Yard, was instructed to take
possession Of the property included
in the jamestown Exposition site
and Pine Beach section, adjoining
Sewell's Point. Persons at present re-
siding thereon must move by August
!.
The base. when completed, will be
the greatest naval establishment in
the western hemisphere. 1t will ac-
commodate the entire Atlantic Fleet.
Tockage on deep water will be pro-
vided, where the largest ship in the
navy may tie to Il wharf or go into
drydock. Here the fleet, under war
conditions, could strip for action, safe
from all possibility of hostile raids.
Congress appropriated $l,2Oo,ooO
for the purchase of the jamestown
and Pine Beach properties and an
additional $1,600,O0O as an initial
amount toward the development Of
the naval base.
Work will begin Immediately on
quarters for 10000 naval recruits.
Secretary Daniels declared he eE-
pected to have accommodations for
several thousand recruits before the
end of August and for the entire TO-
600 before October.
THE requirement of this property

age Of the North Atlantic Fleet, Of
one Of the greatest naval bases in
the world" said Secretary Daniels.
"This is something we have needed
for many years and ours is the only
big navy which does not at present
possess such base"

ALABAMA RAINBOW
 REGIMENT WAITING
 ORDERS 10 MOVE
While Nothing Is Given Out on Departure of 167th It Is Thought Movement
 Is Soon

Montgomery, August 2S-(Special)-Th vanguard of the fighting forces which will represent Alabama on the front in France is ready to move. Equipment has been packed and orders have been deliv cred. Censorship will not permit the pub Iication of the time for the departure Of the 167th infantry (Fourth Alabama), and not one word may be said now, despite the fact that each company commander knows just what time his men will board cars and depart from Alabama However it may be said that no unit of the old Fourth regiment will be in camp here by the end of the week.
 Officers do not know their destination, but they presume the framing station will l be near Mineola, Long Island, as it has been designated as the concentration point for the rainbow division selected as the first fighting unit of the National | Guard to leave for France.
 All enlisted men are sleeping under one blanket now because all others have been packed and stored for the journey. Every | piece of extra equipment has found it's place in the places allotted for extra bag gage. The regiment will not move in | battalions as it did when the Alabama | National Guard went to the Mexican bor- der last year. Then each company was composed of 100 men or less. Now each [ under the new system planned for for | eign service. Col. William P Screws commanding officer of the regiment, will | be in command of the troop movements S. | but each company commander will have l complete control of his train, as the movement in all probability will be by companies instead of battalons.
 BRIGADE TO BE DEPLETED
 When the old Fourth regiment de- | parts only about 2500 men of the Ala
 bama brigade will be left in camp The new regiment formed from the Fourth and attachments from all oth l CT regiments of the brigade will take away about 3700 men. All organiza-
 tions of Alabama men will be out of this state within five days, according to schedule, though no one is per mitted to say when these troops will depart for their training station al Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga.
 SAYING COOLEY
 Enlisted men and officers are busy now saying and writing good-by to
 relatives and friends, knowing they may be called up and ordered to en- train at any moment. Strict warning has been issued against the publica tion of any news about troop move 1 ments under penalty imposed by mili- tary courts.
 1 Maj John W. Watts of Birmingham chief surgeon for the old Fourth regi-
 ment. who has been on detached serv- ice in the Alabama brigade, received orders Tuesday to return to his regi-
 ment, now the One Hundred and Sixty
 seventh. and will accompany 1t tc France.
 1 Announcement also was made that
 Lieut.. Richard Kelley, Jr., of Birming- ham, who has been with the Second regiment, has been detached and at
 tached to the France bound regiment
 He will enter a line company, but his
 position was not made public.

Mississippi Supreme Court
 to Decide Ownership
 of Columbus Church

Columbus, Miss, August 28.-(Special.) Preparations are being made to carry to the supreme court the case of G. D. Hardness ct al vs. J. D. Dotherow ct al, which involves the ownership of the Cumberland Presbyterian church in this city. The case arises from schsm be- tween the Cumberland Presbyterian church of the United States of America and the Southern Cumberland Presby- terian church. When the two bodies di- vded something over a year ago the parent organization claimed ownership of the local church, and members of the congregation instituted suit by which they seek to retain control of the property, the suit having been brought in the name of Mir. Dotherow and other officers of the church.
 In the lower court the case was de- cided in favor of the Cumberland Pres byterian church, United States of America, and State Senator w. F. Stribling, who represents the local church, is now preparing an exhaustive brief, which will soon be presented to the supreme court. The Cumberland Presbyterian church of the United States of America is represented by Hon. G. o. Daniels of Starkville.
