WILL NOT TAKE
HUN PROPERTY
Possessions of Enemies in
This Country Immune,
Says Palmer.

Property belonging TO German cit
irens or citizens Of her allies who are
now residing in this country will not
be taken over by the United States
government A Mitchell Palmer,
alien property custodian. made this
clear yesterday.
Mr.. Palmer said that under the
trading with Germany act' the sub
jects OF Germany, Austro-Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey now living here
were not included as enemies or al
lies of enemies"
However, It has been decided that
Austrians, Bulgarians and Turks liv-
ing in their own countries and own
ing property In this country may be
liable to have these possessions seized
and held IN trust
It II just here where the distinc-
ticn In the act comes in.
ne German living in his own land
and owning money IN an American
bank may have It taken over by the
alien property custodian. But the
German living here will not have his
property seized. So 1t Is with the
citizens of Germany's allies.
It In said that seizure of property
belonging to subjects Of Germany
may be regarded as q hostile act, and
so the authorities are undoubtedly
proceeding very carefully. Up to this
time the United States Is not tech
nicaIly at war with Germany's allies.
In Washington there Is the hope in
certain quarters that these countries
may make the declaration of war
without putting that onus upon the
United States. In other quarters,
however, Il is realized that a break
with Turkey, for instance, might en-
dspger the lives Of American mission
aries resident there at this time.
PaImer's Statement
Some Misrepresentation seems to
exist relative to the status under the
trading-with-the-ene act of citi-
zens or subjects OF Germany and its
allies resident within this country.
Such persons are not included within
the term enemy or ally Of enemy as
employed In the act. The moneys on
deposit IN banks in this country be-
longing to such persons are not liable
VIII not therefore be taken into the
possession OF the alien property Gus
todian-"
At the same time Mr.. Palmer said
he did not consider taking over the
German Embassy IN this city and
renting It for the benefit of this gov
ernment. The embassy rests on soil
actually owned by the imperial Ger
man government, and Mr.. Palmer
acts as custodian for It Mr.. Palmer
said yesterday that any disposition
of the property would rest with Con-
gress. The State Department also
said that the embassy and its ground
would be inviolable. The German
government also owns another large.
plot of ground upon which, up to the
beginning of the war, it had proposed
to build an even larger embassy.

Southern Road to Delay
 Refunding Bond Issue
 Until Market Is Better

New York. February 2o.-Fairfax Har- rison, president of the Southern Railway company, announced after a directors meeting here today that it had been de- cided not to create at once the proposed refunding and improvement mortgage or the plan for the exchange for the de- velopment and general mortgage per cent bonds which has been under con sideration. The directors concluded, MT Harrison said, that in the present con- dition of the investment market long term bonds cannot be sold on terms suf- fciently advantageous to the company to justify the assumption at the present time of the additional fixed charge con templated by the plan"
 The deposited bonds will be released on request it was announced. and nc further deposits will be accepted. A short term loan has been arranged to renew the maturing notes and to provide ad- ditional capital to carry on plans for the enlargement of the roads business, 1t was stated.

PRETTY MARY M'LAREN AT THE TRIANON

The Mysterious Mrs. M" is A Rlue- bird release and features pretty Mary McLaren. The Trianon offers this picture drama today and tomorrow as a snec,al programme.
 AS the title suggests, The Mysterious Mrs M" is mystery play. Young Van oeer' as ms name might suggest, is a thtrty-third idle rich So rich and so idle, in fact, is young Van Seer that neither the world, the flesh nor the devil has any further charms of interest to him. Nothing can give him a thrill or delight. Life to him is dull, dead and detestable. And so young Van Seer was not concerned when a dark-eyed fortune teller told him he would meet with an accident at certain time and place. He recalled, however, the prophetic words of the seeress when he received the injury she had predicted. Going again to the fortune teller, she raises the limit and tells him he is going to die at midnight on certain day. So Young Van Seer goes into the country to die, as the prophecies had prophesied, and there meets fair young girl. Being in the country and Phyllis Woodman being near and So young and so pretty, of course young Van Seer wanted to side-step the obituary But the seeress had spoken and dying shortly thereafter herself could not even take it back. So the fatal day came around and toward evening young Van Seer bade his farewelIs and sat down to watch the clock record the tragic hour of midnight. In terrible suspense and mental anguish he watched the hands creep toward the hour which marked his finish. m
 The rest you must see for yourself. "The Mysterious Mrs. NJ" is a picture that is certain to please. It is perfectly acted and staged and there is sufficient suspense to grip you throughout.

 THIS WOMAN WASN'T EVEN ABLE ID ST UP IN HER BED, SHE SAYS Gains 25 Pounds on Tanlac After Suffering for
 Fifteen Years

Ianlac has done me more good than all the medicines have taken for the past l5 years, and I have actually gained 2F pounds since taking it." said Mrs. J. J. Martin, a well known woman of Vine mont. Ala, few days ago.
 Yes, sir. for 15 long years I suffered constantly with a bad case of stomach trouble and nothing I could find would give me any relief" continued Mrs. Mar tin. Gas collected on my stomach and Just Kept mo in misery nearly all the time and sometimes this gas would seem 10 get over my whole body and I suf- fered until I felt like I couldn't stand 1t any longer. My nerves were all to pieces and kept getting worse and worse until | was almost a physical wreck. Finally I had to give up and take to my bed and from that day until I began taking Tam lac I was so weak I wasn't even able to sit up in bed.
 Tanlac had been 50 highly recom- mended to me that after a while I decided to give 1t & trial and after the first few doses l knew had found the right med icine at last. I began to improve right from the start and have gained in strength and weight ever since, until all my troubles are now about gone My stomach and nerves are in So much bet ter shape and I feel so good that I can't help talking about it. Tanlac did what nothing else would do for me and I just think it's the best medicine on earth"
 Tanlac is sold exclusively in Birming- ham by Eugene Jacobs drug store and by the Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ems ley by D. W. Morris Drug company; in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug com pany; in Pratt City by Gale Drug com pany, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company, under the per- sonal direction of a special Tanlac rep resentative.-Adv.
