 RIGHTS SAYS WHITE

 for Human Freedom

Senator Frank S. White spoke to an audience that crowded the auditorium of the Young Mems Christian asso citation yesterday afternoon. He spoke of the national issues and tru. Americanism. The audience was with him from the beginning and frequently interrupted him with applause.
 Captain White discussed the causes of the great war and the entry of the various nations into it, and the devel- opment of the situation that now con- fronts the American nation. He sound ed the war note perhaps more clearly than it has been heard in Birming- ham, declaring that in his Judgement it was only a question of weeks be- fore the United States would be at war with Germany and her allies, and that we will not be able to keep aloof from the general conflict bu1 will necessarily join arms with Great Brit ain and her allies and with them fight the common cause of democracy and human freedom. He said that he be- lieved the American people would de- fend themselves and their rights with the same bravery and valor that have characterized them in the past. The war he said. in his opinion, would last another year. and end in victory for the allies
 He paid glowing tribute to the Judgement, strength, and bravery of President Woodrow Wilson. which was heartily applauded

ASK BIRMINGHAM
 TO AID COLLEGES

An editorial calling upon citizens Of
 Birmingham to get behind Howard and
 Birmingham colleges with view to put
 ting them forward in educational circles
 appeared in Thursdays issue of the How
 ard college.
 The following Is the editorial:
 For some weeks there has been agita-
 ton from some quarters seeking to have
 citizens of Birmingham inaugurate campaign for funds for Howard and Bir- mingham colleges. It Is expected that the move will come to a head within an- other 10 days.
 "The Crimson has viewed with consid- erablo interest publicity that has been given tc the cause, and 1t is prepared to believe that the city is indebted to the two colleges and should help in financ- ing them in this time of need. While the colleges would be able, no doubt, to go ahead with their work. 1t is certain that both are badly in need of physical equip ment and of additions in laboratories and departments.
 Both colleges have conducted their
  cut the aid of the people of Birmingham, except as they may have acted individ-
 ual,y or through the respective denomina- tions Howard and Birmingham are con- tributing something to the city, and they will continue to lend their best efforts. At the same time there Is much that could be done if the colleges were in bet | ter financial condition. Birmingham would like to have better colleges, and l 1t is proper that the City should help pay the price in the further development of her colleges.
 1 Howard and Birmingham are already
 well established and have good standing | in educational circles Birmingham
 should help to make them better If the l city would contribute generously it is safe to say that the denominations most I interested would feel more like increas-
 l. ing their gifts

 'Twenty-one aerial bombs will be exploded as a signal for opening the doors.
 The opening comes upon the same day and almost at the same hour as the inauguration of President Will son in Washington so that the oppor- tunity will be seized to lend mili- tary and patriotic aspect to the open ing of what is universally pronounced the greatest show of it's kind ever held in the south.
 Although yesterday was Sunday lot of the automobile exhibitors were busily

putting the finishing touches on their exhibits. The auditorium which is To- cated on the new postoffice site at the corner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street has been carefully inspected and made water tight and weather tight so that the interior will be cozy and com fortable no matter what is going on out side.
 "Everything will be ready on the dot, ." said Chairman Ted Brownell last night ''The boys have been busy getting the cars into place and arranging their ex- hibits and I want to say right now that the display is beautiful. It is a great show. and I hope it will be the success it deserves to be-
 This will be week of big events in Birmingham because the merchants have arranged Fashion Week to come at the same time as the automobile show Wis itors to the city will thus be enabled to kill two birds with one stone.
 The spring goods are in the stores for inspection, and the show windows are things of beauty. Shoppers will be amazed at the variety and attractiveness of the wares put on exhibition.

The following general work in the vegetable garden is recommended for the month of February:
 Late in the month the hotbeds should be under way but all preparations ought to be made earlier. The manure for the beds must be drawn in ample time. Fresh manure, containing at least one-third straw. is needed, and should be freely ap-, piled It should be kept under cover so that it will not burn, which condition IS shown by slate oolored appearance. IT slow in heating. fermentation may be started by pouring hot water over the pile Manure should not be soggy. USE CARE IN PREPARING BEDS
 When you place the manure in the hot bed, tread it down well. Be sure to put plenty Tn tho center of the bed so that there will be no sagging.
 SOWING THE SEEDS
 In the hot beds should be sown any large kind of globe onions for transplant ing outside, cabbage, lettuce, celery and rl nishes. The last two may be permitted to mature in the hot bed.

RIGHTS OF LIBERTY
 WILL JUSTIFY WAR Dr. Edmonds Breaches a Strong Sermon on Sixth
 Commandment

Thou Shalt Not Kill" was the sub ject of the sermon by Dr. H. M. Ed monds at the evening service of tho Independent Presbyterian church at the Lyric last night, being the sixth commandments preached by pr. Ed monds
 Tn his opening remarks, Dr. Ed monds spoke on war. stating that war could not be termed murder, whole sale killing as 1t undoubtedly is; that certain crises may appear in which it becomes necessary to kill; that the very primal instincts of man de- mand that he kill under certain terri ble circumstances. He held that war for greed and power was wrong. but where the sacred rights of liberty were involved, it was justifiable.
 In speaking of the crime of homi- eide. he stated that the hideous stail of blood upon the hands of him who takes another's life never fades away, and the frightful scene lives always in his tortured memory even when the deed seems justifiable
 He said the mark of Cain upon the murderer's brow is plain, the haunted look, the stealthy glance looking for some unseen, but to him. a real ever present enemy, making life a nightmare both day and night is all apparent The punishment lasts while life lasts, even though the law has been satisfied.
 Dr. Edmonds referred to the unen- viable record the county has in regard to the cheapness of human life. He said it was largely due to the large floating population, many of whom were of the idle class and the fact that often the crime went unpunished.
 Speaking of the responsibility of employers in the safeguarding of hu- man life. Dr. Edmonds spoke of the many safety devices that had been in- stalled in the large plants of the dis trict in recent years, making killing by carelessness much less frequent than formerly.
 the county but the state was gradually losing it's unsavory reputation for crime and murder. and made strong plea against the custom of carrying pistols and deadly weapons a habit he declared that was a prolific cause of crime, was cowardly and dam gerous and all together unworthy of a manly man.
 The Seventh commandment will bs the subject of Dr. Edmonds sermon next Sunday night.
