Need for Adequate Defense

The National Association Of Manu-
facturers has issued a special trade
bulletin scouting the probability OF
any disastrous effect on our trade be-
cause OF German submarine activities.
The bulletin declares:
"Whetber or not state OF war
develops between the United
States and the Central Powers, the
area of submarine warfare is not
likely to be greatly changed, as
naval authorities deem it impera-
tive for those Powers to secure
their aims that they should con-
centrate their submarine energies
in the waters of the western group
of the Entente Powers as limited
bv the declared boundaries of the
blockade war zone. This would
leave the waters of the great
oceans practically as safe as they
are at present Consequently,
possible curtailment of trade with
Western Europe by submarine war
fare will necessarily operate to
open UP additional opportunities
for business in the regions which
cannot be materially affected by
submarine operations, and which
include the rich markets of all
Latin America, Asia, Australia
and Africa"
But, in the event OF a state of wal
developing between the United State:
and the Central Powers, is there any
hypothesis on which to base the state
ment that these powers will concen
trate all their energies within the
boundaries of the war zone now de-
clared to be in a state Of blockade'

Boarding House at Noon on Sunday
After Stroke of Apoplexy.

Joseph Marcus, aged Sc years, a ma
tive Of Russia, died very suddenly at
his boarding house, 524 Middle street, at

paststhree or four days he had been at
home on account of illness. He had
been about the boarding house during

they announced that death had prob
ably followed an attack of apoplexy.

And the echo from Washington is
"same old crowd" If the President is
not going to make any cabinet changes
why go to al, this fuss about the inau-
guration. Why not just put a new
calendar on the desk and go to it. A
lot of people had hoped that in his
wisdom the President would have seen
fit to put few 1ew faces into the
inner circles Of the government. How
ever, if the President is willing to go
ahead with what he has he is the doctor.

all is that there is money enough in

Federal aid for highways might be
valuable in securing the completion Of

be just as valuable in helping to carry

promoters are anxious to have real
estate values advanced by the state
building the highways.

 NIGHT AT TUTWILER
Public Is Invited to Hear Noted Canadian Suffrage Leader and
 Public Woman

Whether Mrs. Nellie l.. McClung, who

 night at the Tutwiler ballroom is best
 ton of the Political Equality league,
 her books, her speeches, or her suffrage
 and political activities, would be hard
 to say, but her name is the most ia
 miliar woman's name in Canada today.
 Mrs McClung began her suffrage work
 about four years ago with the organiza-
 tion of the Political Equality league, and since that time Canada has enfran- chised the women of three provinces, Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. 10 Mrs. McClung belongs a large share of the credit for these victories, for her energy was unceasing in leading a de- termned drive into those three legisla- lures, and her tact and good humor un- failing in the face of ever situation. A brilliant and persuasive speaker. Mrs. McClung has won thousands of advo-
 cates for woman suffrage, and has been just as successful in converting the average passer-by as she has been with the intellectuals and lawmakers.
 The women of Alberta answered the old question: Now that you have tks vote, what are you going to do with it?" within A hours after they were erfranchsed last April, for no sooner
 had the bill passed the legislature thar
 Mrs. McClung called a meeting of the Alberta women at her home in Edmon- ton. for the purpose of drafting bills and amendments for proposal to the government concerning equal parenta I rights red light abatement and propor- 1 tional representation.

FUEL BOARD ACTS;
 RELIEF IS GIVEN
 EASTERN SECTION
Coal to Be Bought at Fixed Prices Not Subject to
 Change

F. L. Brown, of the Jefferson county fuel administration board and Secre- tary Duncan took active steps yesterday morning to relieve the coal famine at East Lake, Woodlawn and East Bir- mingham, after an inventory was taken and showed that the available supply of coal dealers in the East Lake sec tion amounted to only 10 tons.
 MT. Brown stated for the benefit of all retail coal dealers that the former ruling of the United States fuel admin istration board, through MT. Garfield, under which the prices fixed were only provisional, have been revoked.
 It is clearly specified in the new rul- ing, which becomes effective November 1e that consignments of coal hereafter shall be made on the basis of a fixed price, not subject to a revision on &C., count of subsequent regulations of price by the United States fuel administra- tion.
 The retail dealers, and through them the consumers, ill be able to buy coal fixed prices, which will not be subject to change and will thus place the coal deal- CTS in better position to know just what the proper basis for conducting their business under the new conditions.
 The Jefferson county fuel administra- tion board will hold it's regular meeting Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at the rooms of the board.

 School Boys and Girls
President Wilson Proclamation the Subject That Is Pointed-Detai]s of Plan Worked Out by Dr. Me Cracken of Vassar College Are Given to
 the School Children of the Land

try, was worked out by pr. Henry Noble McCracken, president of Vassar college, and pr. Anna Hodges Talbot of the New York state department of education. They will work during school hours and will be able to give definite service, the various schools deciding the amount of time to be spent in this work They will make clothing for the refugee children of our allies as well as for the grown ups, as we'll as rejuvenate stockings for the destitute French children who have gone barefooted through the winter. Each child will sew his own name in every garment he makes, so the children who receive them will know who sent them.
 Scrapbooks will also be made by the pupils for the soldiers in hospitals, as well as the children. while some will knit for the soldiers. Boys in the manual training departments will make boxes to ship the gifts in and they will also make splints, crutches and wooden knit ting needles. Soap molds. with the name of the schools cut in the mold will be made, while the chemistry classes will make the soap from surplus fats brought from their own homes. Jellies, jams and preserves will be made by the do- nestle science classes, but as shipping is serious problem, the Red Cross does not know just how much of this can be sent over. It will be welcomed in American cantonments, however, and the hospitals in Canada.
 Junior membership Is granted through the school auxiliary, when each pupil of the organization has contributed ?; cents to the chapter school fund or when the school is pledged to prepare Red Cross supplies or engage in other Red Cross activities. approved and super vised by chapter school committee.

A proclamation has been issued by President Wilson to the school children of the United States in regard to the of the American Red Cross, which is as follows:
 "The President of the United States is also president of the American Red Cross. It Is from these offices, joined in one, that I write you word of greeting at this time when many of you are beginning the school year. 'The American Red Cross has just prepared a junior membership with school activities, in which every pupil in the United States can find chance to serve
 our country. The school is the natural center of your life. Through it you can best work in the great cause of freedom to which we have all pledged ourselves. ''Our Junior Red Cross will bring to You opportunities of service to your com munity and other communities all over the world and guide your service with high and religious ideals. 1t will teach you how to save in order that suffering children elsewhere may have the chance to live. It will teach you how to pre-
 pare some of the supplies which wounded soldiers and homeless families lack. It will send to you through the Red Cross bulletins the thrilling stories of relief and rescue. And, best of all. more per fectly than through any of our other school lessons, you will learn by doing those kind things under your teacher s direction to be the future good citizens of this great country which we all love. And commend to all school teachers in the country the simple plan which the American Red Cross has worked out to provide for your cooperation, knowing as I do that school children will give their best services under the direct guidance and instructing of their teachers. Is not this perhaps the chance for which you have been looking to give your time and efforts in some measure
 to meet our national needs?
