 The fight occurred when MT. Stokey and David J Davis, attorney, were call ing on the commissioner. It is alleged that an old matter regarding a case in which the commissioner and the South ern Bell Telephone company were inter ested. came up. This, it is alleged, led to the difficulty.

Intending Applicants Advised to Stand Examination by Military Surgeon as to Physical
 Fitness

Close and extended order drills will feature the opening of the class who Will enroll tonight on the fourth floor of the Brown Marx building for preparatory work for entrance at Fort McPherson next August. A long hike is promised all the candidates for Sunday afternoon.
 Virgil Evans, local newspaper man, and G. Lewis Bailes, former assistant city attorney, who have recently under gone training at Fort McPherson, will have charge of the class, and the work will be supervised at weekly intervals by regular army officers. It is pointed out that only serious work will be undertaken by the officers in charge and that per- sons joining the class under the impress sion that it is pleasant lark will be rudely disappointed, as the strictest mil itary discipline will prevail at all meet ings.
 MT. Evans stated at the first meeting that it would be advisable for all candi- dates in the training class to be exam ined as to their physical fitness by mill itary surgeon, as there is no need to par ticipate in the drills if some disability will preclude acceptance for the training camp

RECRUITS SLOW IN RESPONDING ID CALL OF REGULAR ARMY
Call for Officers Meets Ready Response, But for Rank and File Showing
 Is Disappointing

The number of men who enlist in the regular army becomes less and less every day. A few weeks ago the officers could reckon on 20 or more men a day, but the average has dropped so low now that 10 is considered to be a good number Notwithstanding the fact that the regu- lar army is in great need of recruits for immediate service, all the eligible men seem to be awaiting the action of the conscription law. The officers have called for more men time and again, but it seems to have no effect. The need for 45,000 men is immediate and imperative. state the recruiting officers, but the re- sponse is slow and discouraging. The greatest need for men Is in the private ranks, and that is the place where the recruits are going slowest When the call for officers comes, there are plenty of responses but the really hard places, where it takes real patriotism and pluck to stick are not receiving any applicants.
 Photographic instructions were received yesterday from headquarters saying no more men should be enlisted for the quar- termasters' corps of the enlisted reserve engineers. The cavalry and coast guard are also full, but there are numerous va cancies in all the other branches where men are needed badly. Instructions have also been received that any subjects of Great Britain could be enlisted here and sent to their own army corps without expense They will be under the regu- lations of the regular English army. The men who enlisted yesterday are the fol- lowing: Eldred M. Lowry, infantry; Me ternich Bradley, infantry Judge Curry,
 infantry; Henry Strickland, infantry.
 The marines have recruited only two men this week. This corps is almost full, and the officers are being very careful to pick out only the very best men. Fig ures were received yesterday on the na- tional marine campaign week that was held recently that showed the campaign fell short everywhere Four thousand men were wanted during this campaign, but the south furnished only little over a hundred. The figures for the principal stations are the following: Atlanta, T: Birmingham. 10; Chattanooga. '; Knox vile, 8; Nashville, 35 Savannah, 16; post masters, 4. These figures cover the first 20 days of this month. The men received by the local office this week are Everett W. Gardey and James N. Baker.
 Five men were received by the navy station yesterday This station has been making a great record during the last week, having taken in almost 30 men. Or ders were received yesterday to receive no more landsmen electricians, but that radio teegraphers wer badly wantd. Wire telegraphers are also wanted. The men who were sworn in yesterday were: Thomas William Ellard. Joe Wheeler FL lard William Larkin Waters, Thomas Clay Roberson, George Wiley Boyer.
 The engineers regiment received four men yesterday. Captain Estes has re- turned from a trip to Tuscaloosa, where he received six men, Those who enlist ed yesterday were: Henry w. Suddeth, John c. Garner, Joe F. Riley. Anthony w. Snodgrass.

CROP CONDITIONS
 GENERALLY NORMAL
Railroad Official Says That There Is Much Improve
 ment in Southern Crops

''Sx weeks ago when I made tour through seven states, including Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Missis- sippi, Georgia and Arkansas. I was of the opinion that there would be very poor crops throughout these states" stated J. E. Hutchinson, general superintendent of the Frisco railroad, with headquarters in Springfield, Mo-, who was in Birming- ham last night.
 But on a recent trip, which l have just concluded find conditions so very much improved that I believe that those states that I have visited will make a normal crop. practically every one of them, and some of the sections will make better than a normal crop
 The statement of MT. Hutchinson will doubtless be very gratifying to Ala bamians, for the cold weather and lack of rains at the time most needed has done a great deal to retard the growth of food crops, and to make business men somewhat skeptical of the crop outcome this fall. In his official position MT Hutchinson is frequently making trips over the territory through which his line passes, and is in position to closely ob- serve the crop conditions.

BIRMINGHAM STILL
 HAS GOOD CHANGE FOR CONCENTRATION CAMP
Groom Beatty of Local Committee States City Is Still Considered
 in Location of Camps

That Birmingham still has a good fighting chance to secure an army concentration camp is the opinion of many who have been in close touch with the situation.
 While the decision of the war de- partment yesterday to place camps at Montgomery and Anniston decreases Birmingham chances to some extent, a vigorous fight Is still being main- tained to have one of the three re. maining camps to be located in the department of the southeast come to Birmingham.
 We have still a mighty good fight ing chance said l. Groom Beatty of the army concentration camp commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce, who has just returned from Washington. ''and we will be in the running to the very last. I am still hopeful that when the war department carefully considers Birmingham's report that we will be awarded one of three camps yet to be located"

 No one believes that men have yet reached such stage of unselfishnss that they are willing to perish while others prosper.
 The coming of great industries to our city should be fostered and encouraged Surely we should not arouse their ami mostly by insinuation of unholy purpose ere they have proven guilty

 As far as intimidation is concerned the hand of the assassin will be stayed by public opinion.

ENsLEY DIVISION CHEERED

The. Ensley division several hundred strong, headed by a banner bearing the Red Cross emblem and the words Ems ley division of Birmingham Red Cross chapter" carried by two beautiful young ladies, with United States sailor as escort on either side. made a decided hit with the spectators. and received applause from one end of the march to the other.
 Many little girls in one company of the great parade looked charming in their Red Cross veil and caused out bursts at every corner where they passed.
 Due to the rain the parade did not move from the Hotel Hillman until 4:30 o'clock a slow drizzling rain having held up the marchers. Colonel Cren- shaw refused to start until the rain ceased, on account of the ladies in the parade.
 When the parade reached Capitol park the members of the Red Cross proceeded to the pavilion where pr. M S. Barnwell, rector of the Church of the Advent, made one of the most eloquent addresses for the Red Cross, fund that has ever been made in Bir- mingham, on any occasion. Dr. Barn. well was frequently applauded, and though his remarks were brief, he was pointed in his reference to the duty of every American citizen, when it comes to contributing to the Red Cross fund. WARD INTRODUCES SPEAKERS
 The speakers were introduced by George B. Ward, president of the city comm ssion, and in a happy vein MT. Ward said If these splendid women were to all go to France, there would not be a man left in Birmingham. no matter how old. They would everyone go to the front.
 Dr. Barnwell said in part: ''This fund that we are raising in America for the Red Cross is the free, voluntary ex- |pression of nations nobility. It comes very near being nations re- ligion. We are now paying for living in the land of the free and the brave we are paying the debt we owe for this privilege, and though we may think that it is hard, it is good for us to pay our debts. It will make better men of us, and we will be glad of it. America holds in the hollow of her hand the destiny of 1,000,000,000 men for the next five years. The neutral is blood guilty. And when you keep back your dollars from this Red Cross cause you are doubly blood guilty"
 MT. Ward next introduced Sidney J.. Bowie, who made splendid speech. full of patriotic utterances, and an in dorsement of all that pr. Barnwell had said in favor of Red Cross.
 "The greatest mistake that the inn perial government of Germany ever made was to defy the United States and bring us into this war. which they are going to be sorry for for the next 150 years" said MT. Bowie amid tumultous applause.
 Following the two patriotic addresses the T. C. l. band played America and Dixie. which was the signal for ad journment.
