Transportation of Freight
 on Highways Planned

Washington, November 9.-Greater use of highways and inland Waterways Cor short hauls in an effort to relieve The tremendous burden placed on the rail- roads by the war is sought by the coun- cil of national defense in the appoint ment today of a highways transport committee
 Cooperative work with the various departments of the government inter- ested in the utilization of roads for mill itary purposes will be started at once by the committee, winch later will CO., ordinate it's work with that of the rail- roads and assist local highway authori- ties in maintaining the roads. Today 8 action completed the list of transporta- tion committees of the council, all forms of transportation now being represented in the carrying on of the war
 Cooperation between transportation agencies and not competition is expected to te the outcome of the combined work of the committees. Inasmuch as the task of hauling freight long distance naturally falls to the railroads, it is planned by the council to encourage tho use of motor trucks for shorter dis tances. especially the movement of farm produce. Inland waterways will be rc- lied on where available.
 Relief of congestion in railroad yards and at terminals will be one of the problems to be worked out in co-opera tion with the railroads.

 She is Being Forcibly
 Fed by Jail Authorities

Washington, November 9.-The hunger strike of women's party milltants in the jail here has resolved itself into a dis pute over whether the women were fed forcibly. or whether they took food will ingly.
 Today women's party headquarters an. nounced that Alice Paul, the leader, had been fed three times since yesterday aft ernoon, and that Rose Winslow, her companion had been forcibly fed twice. Feeding Miss Paul three times in little more than F hours the leaders contend ed, was unnecessary and inhuman.
 Superintendent Zinhkam of the jail freely admitted Miss Paul had been fed three times, but denied it had been done forcibly
 There was no forced feeding" said Zinhkam. These women took the food without resistance and merely want to advertise themselves by saying they have been fed forcibly. Miss Pauls condition Lis not critical, it is not even serious She is doing we'll"
 Women's party Headquarters, however, declare Miss Paul will die if the authori- ties continue to feed her forcibly.
 Tonight Miss Helen Paul made her way into the jail grounds and talked with her sister through a window She re- ported that when told the jail physician said she had not resisted when fed Miss Paul said: Tt is a lie am resisting to my utmost strength" She also brought word that her sister now was in the psychopathic ward of the hospital for ob- servation.

Dr. George Eaves Among Speakers at Southern
 Tuberculosis Conference

Dr. Eaves said that of the millions of men called to the colors, a large number would be found affected with tubercu- losis, and that war, as carried on 1t present. had & most significant effect on the early stage of the disease and would tend to bring about a higher percentage.

Cleveland physician. author and world traveller whose body was found in downtown hotel last night, police declared tonight with the discovery that approximately s4090 worth of diamonds and jewelry were taken from the victim.

 Their Privilege License Tax


 Members of the Fire Insurance ex- change of Birmingham called upon the city commission yesterday by appoint ment and discussed in an informal man ner the proposed increase in rates that Birmingham faces at the hands of the Southeastern Underwriters association
 Local insurance men have had their taxes doubled in the past year, ane though they have been forced to pay this increase in taxes, they are not raising any objection They stated to the commission that this had nothing to do with the situa ton, and that the conference they had asked with the commissioners was for the purpose of disclosing such facts to the commission as they were capable of divulging that would aid the commission to meet the raise should it come as anticipated. There was d spirit of cooperation prev alent that created unity between the association and the city officials that bids fair to relieve some existing condi- tions that have heretofore been misun- deretood, according to the members of the committee which met with the com mission yesterday.
 The proposed increase is cents on the thousand, and the local insurance writers want to do everything in their power to aid the commission in prevent ing this increase, as 1t is detrimental to their business. and they expressed themselves as being freely opposed to it.
 It is stated at the cily hall that .hs insurance men did not ask for a reduc- ton in their license tax, nor did they +I.nt tod I,A in crease per thousand in case their tax was not reduced.

 ties Result

With the American Army in France, November S-(By the Associated Press. )-There has been no special ac- tivity reported on the sector held by the American troops in France dur ing the last two days. continuous rain has interfered with artillery ob- servation, but the Americans have been firing their usual number of shells daily There is good reason to believe that some of these fell upon or near certain German battery positions and strategic points.

 PRODUCTION WILL EXCEED PROGRAMME

Washington, November 9-Aircraft pro- duction in American factories is devel- oping at such rate that it was said today the present programme of 22,eG0 planes and 5o,c0o motors by July 1 can be doubled in the last six months of next year if the needs of the army de- mand it.
 Considera ton is being given to the substitution of metal tubing for spruce wood in American airplane manufacture, although the change may be unnecessa y because the spruce supply, which was in- terrupted by labor troubles in the north west, is now almost normal. The French are using an alloy tubing for their plane frames.
