 Dr. Jones reviewed the three alleged fallicies upon which it had been agreed that war was impossible. The first, by Nobel who declared that he would make war so deadly and so horrible that nations would refrain from it This hypothesis he declared was not secure.
 Another alleged fallacy was that of Dr. Bloch who declared that war was so expensive that nations would never enter into it with the great impending cost The present world war mocks this statement.
 The third alleged fallacy was that by preparing for war nation was mak- ing for peace. The psychology of the situation withered all good inten- tions.
 Perhaps his most vehemently empha- sized point was that when he resented the implication was necessary or justi fled in order to make virile our young men. This inference he termed "an insult to motherhood, a reflection on civilization"

MONTGOMERY PLAN ID UNITE SCHOOLS
 IS BEING OPPOSED
Proposition to Have County and City Work Together May Fail as Result
 of Schism
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, March 25.-(Special) Citizens of Montgomery have temper arily forgotten state politics to watch an unusual political game in Mont gomery which is day by day forcing the city board of education into tke hands of one political faction and which has already resulted in the abandonment of plan for the uniti- cation of the public schools of the city and county a plan which has been sue cessful in Mobile county from a time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary
 pr. B. J. Baldwin. who had been president of the city board of edu- cation for 2S years, suddenly resigned last month. Gustave F. Mertins, author and lawyer. was elected as his sue cessor by the city commission. Then George w. Jones. in harness for 15 years, resigned In the meantime. and before the date of Mir Jones' retire ment the city board decided to work with the county board in the unifi : cation of the public schools and se- lected William F. Feagin. now state superintendent of education. as head of the city school system, he having already been named county superin- tendent of education. MT Jones' E. d. Meyer and J. Kirk Jackson. who were named by the former city commission, favored the plan, while Mir Mertina and Lister Hill. who were appointed by the present commission. opposed it.
 Superintendent Feagin promptly de. clned to serve as city superintendent stating that a house divided with it. Itcf fo1J to carry on the work of county su- perintendent and to drop the idea of unification temporarily unless the two boards would work as a unit in per fecting the new system. q know the unification plan is success" said Mr. Feagin in discussing his refusal to ac- eept the position with a divided board. Tt has been a success wherever 1t has been tried. Mobile is one ex- ample, but I could name tens, scores and hundreds of points where 1t has revolutionized the school system and made it more efficient. But the high est degree of success cannot be reached With faction of a board opposed to the plans"
 When the plan failed E. J. Meyer one of the old members. announced that he would retire May 1 and had forwarded his resignation to the city commission. This will put the non- unification faction into power as the city commission will name a member who will work with MT. Hill and Mr. Mertins So Montgomery need not ex- pect unification long as the pres. ent city commission has the power to name the city board of education Re- ports are that J. Kirk Jackson will retire also and will turn the board over to the nonunification faction but he is being urged to remain member until the expiration of his term.

day when he and Mrs. Wilson called at Secretry Daniels office. It was not made public however, until details for carrying it into effect had been arranged The recruiting service has been running recently with redoubled energy and ac- complaining good results. Under the new order however, emergency funds will be employed to again redouble efforts to en- roll suitable men,
 The President found it necessary to take further measures to conserve his own time for official conferences in con nection with the. present national enIer- gency He instructed that hereafter only conferences of the most pressing nature be arranged for him. Tomorrow he will see Charles J. Vopicka, United States minister to .Rumania, Bulgaria and Servia, and later in the week will confer with Senate and House leaders prior to the converting of the special session of Congress a week from tomorrow
 The war department has nearly com pleted preparation of it's budget to be sent to the capitol on the day Congress meets. Accompanying the request for funds for various army purposes, will go recommendations for such legislation on army organization as may have been decided upon. President Wilson is ex- pected to talk these matters over with his congressional visitors and reac ha de- cision as to the system under which he believes the army should be mobilized, so that bills to carry out his programme may be prepared in advance.

In addition to the million and a half in actual cash. there were several millions more in stocks, bonds and checks with total of various forms of more or less liquid resources amounting to S2O.- GOO,OOO. Never before in the his- tory of Alabnma has such vast amount of wealth passed through the streets of one of it's cities and few cities in the south can equal the record.

 Promptly at o'clock yesterday morning. fhe moving began and the work did not stop until everything had been changed to the new building where business will go on today as usual. Not an hour will be lost from the regular conduct of affairs.

Declaring that peace produced higher heroes than war and that civil life de- veloped noble triumphs. Dr. Lloyd Jer- kins Jones. one of the foremost cham- pions of pacifism in the United States, delivered forceful address to a large audience at Temple Emanu-El last night He declared that the United States would disgrace itself should it join in the carnage which has drenche ed a whole continent with blood. Hc pleaded for the spirit of International ism in the diplomatic and military world.
 "Internationalism has been realized in all the realms of science. ethics ana morals he declared. Tt only halts in the diplomatic and military world.
 War is essentially bad, always bad. It can be understood only as the sur- vival of the brute. man. and this is slowly being eliminated. But it is disapproving slowly The battleships are nothing more than the old armed reptiles. The submarine is a human shark, a disemboweling instrument. The bayonet is nothing more than a glorified tusk.

LET THE RICH FIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY
 SAY RESOLUTIONS
Many Union Men Resent Resolutions Adopted By Trades Council-NOt
 LabOr's Sentiments

In the event of war, the rich should all be drafted into the service before those of moderate wealth come to the defense of the country, according to resolutions adopted at the meeting of the Birming- ham Trades Council yesterday afternoon.
 Then, continue the resolutions, after all those of moderate means have been eX
 hausted, those affiliated with union bodies and workers in general should prepare
 to assist the nation
 The resolutions declare that ? per cent of the people of the United States own 50 per cent of it's wealth and that 33 per cent of the population holds 35 per cent of the wealth of the country The
 claim is further made that 50 per cent of
 the people, those not listed in the two
 former classes, hold the balance, or per
 cent.
 With these statistics as a basis and de-
 claring that the war is brought about be-
 cause "the enormous profits of specula-
 tors and manufacturers are menaced ' the Trades Council, by resolution called on President Wilson to force the ultra wealthy and those of ordinary wealth to
 be exhausted in war before union bodies and workers in general are called upon to take up arms in defense of the coun- try. "The owners of property should do the fighting and dying for their country in the present threatened war they de- clare

They stated that 1 they knew nothing about the reso | tions. It was pointed out that the | Typographical union and other repre- sentative organizations had already adopted resolutions pledging their un- qualified indorsement of any step which the President might take Several well known union men were highly incensed at the tone of the res olutions, and declared that in the pres

committee, appropriations, was headed by northern democrat. Representative Fitzgerald of New York. His knowi- edge and ability for the place as- sures him of reelection to this chair manship, if the democrats organize the House.
 One of the biggest fights among the democrats is expected to occur on Rep resentative Webb of North Carolina former chairman of the judiciary com mfttee and leader of the House prohl- bitton forces. He incurred the enmity sof wet members of his party last session by his energetic support of dry" measures All prohibition meas ures go to the judiciary committee and Representative Webb is the author and champion of nationwide prohibition n resolution. N
 otbAr committees headed by south erners at the last session of Congress included: Military. Dent. Alabama 1; naval, Padgett, Tennessee; foreign af- fairs, Flood. Virginia; rules. Henry. Texas; ways and means. Kitchin, North Carolina interstate commerce. Adam son, Georgia; agriculture. Lever. South Carolina; banking, Glass. Virginia; postoffice, Moon. Tennessee and Dis trict of Columbia, Johnson. Kentucky Save for Representative Henry of Texas, all of these chairmen were re- turned and if the seniority rule should prevail they would succeed themselves, and representative Garrett of Tennes- see would be head of the rules com mittee.
 Protests against Representative Cooper of Wisconsin. ranking member of the foreign affairs committee, also are heard among republicans. While Representative Cooper has been op- posed for many years to the regular republican leaders, his anti-ally utter ! ances in the House during the last two
 years have caused criticism.

for the guard regiments through organ izaton of reserve battalions.
 TRANSFER OF WOOD
 The transfer of General Wood from the eastern to the southeastern department caused considerable speculation among army officers. No explanation was given, and Secretary Baker declined to com ment. The eastern department even as it will be after the new organization goes into effect, is regarded as the most important of the six, because of it's great economic development. As a general rule that department falls to the com. mand of the senior major general of the army available for such duty.
 General Wood is the ranking officer of his grade, General Bell, who now takes command of the eastern department. be- ing his immediate Junior. In some quar- ters it was suggested that the new south

eashern department might prove to be the center of interest should the pres ent international situation develop need for military operations in the south.
 Opinions tonight were that the admin istration planned to wait action by Con- gress before taking warike steps. Pres- dent Wilson has authority to direct that the regular army be brought up to full war strength at once and also to call out the remainder of the National Guard and the naval militia.
 CARE BEING TAKEN
 In designating state troops to be called out it is apparent that the war depart ment has carefully surveyed the field of private enterprises which might be as sailed in event of domestic disturbances. The number of troops from each state summoned to duty bears a direct rela- tion to the ship yards, intuition plants and other industries nthat state which may need military protection.
 The President, following his conferences with Governor Mccall of Massachusetts Friday night and yesterday with Secre- tary Baker, reached the conclusion that as the federal government is responsible for the situation which creates the danger of internal disorders, it also should as- sume the burden of providing adequate
