SENATE SHEARS
HOOVER OF BIG
PART OF POWER
Amendment Passed Creates
Board to Take Place of
Administrator

Washington, July. 20.-By vote of
sixty to sixteen the Senate has re-
pected the Presidents plan to make
Herbert c. Hoover the food dictator
for the nation. Wishes of the Presi-
dent for a centralized administrative
force to handle the food problems of
the country, unhindered by the con-
flicting opinions such as inevitably
arise on Government commissions and
boards. were set aside when the Sem
ate, by a vote of sixty to sixteen, put
into the food control bill a provision
for a food administration board Of
three men.
1t has been said that Mr.. Hoover
would not accept the position If Con-
mission, but IL is believed he would
do so if strongly urged by the Presi--
dent. Administration leaders declared
that if sufficient pressure is eXerted
by the White House on the conferees
of the House and Senate on the food
bill, the commi mission- -of-three plan
will be eliminated and Hoover be made
to be followed, at any rate, although
a group of Senator'S led by Reed, of
Missouri. might make a bitter fight
against 1t.
The President is directed under
Section / as now adopted to appoint
the three commissioners of food con-
I. oil at a salary of $500 a year, one
the time of appointment in the culti-
walton of the soil. The chairman of
the board is to be designated by the
President.

Young Officer Asks Shore
Leave to Protect His Job

New York, July 20.-A junior lieu
tenant walked up to Captain James
G.. Ballinger, of the National Coast
Defense reserve force.
II should like a days shore leave
to attend to some personal business,
if you please, SIR" he said, saluting
Captain Ballinger frowned.
You may fill out an application"
he replied. However, you are in
the navy now. Your private worries
are of minor importance"
Yes. SIR said the lieutenant, ut
it means good deal to me, how
ever. l worked seventeen years to
get the job l had and I would like
to straighten things up before going
to sea. Then, of course, if 1 come
back I'd like to have it again. It's
a very good job. But withdraw the
request of course, if you say so, sir"
He was turning away when Cap
tain Ballinger hailed him.
What is this job?" he asked.
"And what's your name?"
''Vice-president of the New York
Central Railroad. William K. Van
derbilt, Jr."
The application was made out. In
due course Lieutenant Vanderbilt
will be given or refused his one days
shore leave.

Toll Taken by U-Boats
Said to Be Exaggerated

New York, July 20.-Arthur Pollen
British naval expert, commenting on
a dispatch from London describing the
shipping situation as highly critical
because of discovery that ships are
actually being destroyed at a rate of
100000 tons a month" to-day said
those figures unquestionably involved
some big mistake.
For all that Mr.. Pollen sees a crit
ical situation, but more distantly.
There is a serious mistake in these
figures" Mr.. Pollen said. $50 far as
my knowledge of the situation goes
tonnage is not being destroyed at any
thing like that rate a month. The
situation is such, however, that any
thing the United States can send
cannot fail to be of help. Speeding up
of the completion of the destroyers
now building in the United States
would be invaluable.
THE problem we face today Is this:
The worlds tonnage is being reduced
at net rate of 100000 tons a year.
taking into consideration the fact that
the United States plans building o.
100000 tons in the next eighteen
months. In February, 1917. the world S
shipping aggregated 10000, 900 tans.
In February, 1919. it will therefore be
2S,000.000 tons. There is a certain point
below which the Allies must not fall
q they are to supply the civil popu-
Ation and carry on the war.

T. N. Echof, who was chairman of
the committee on entertainment, stated
yesterday that while over 1000 Invitations
were sent in to the headquarters at the
Civic association for soldier boys only
about 600 of them appeared to accept the
hospitality.
Birmingham certainly 'outdid' herself
on this Christmas entertainment" said
Mr.. Echoff. automobiles and hired
taxis were pressed into service to show
the boys the great residential part of
the city. Many Of them had never been
here before, and expressions of their
good fortune in being here yesterday
filled the air. Turkey dinners and all
that the name suggests were waiting for
them, and every effort was made to have
them feel that they were at home"
The Boy Scouts were again on hand
to maintain their reputation of always
lending a helping hand where needed
and rendered much aid in directing the
soldiers to the Civic association and to
the addresses OF the people who were
to entertain them.
The soldier boys were made to realize
the fact that Birmingham wants them;
that the invitation to come to Birming-
ham often was extended in all SINGER
Ity.

THE MAN WITHOUT 4
COUNTRY, . ALCAzAR
Patriotic Photo Drama i'm
Which Edward Eyerette
Hale's Story is Woven

''The Man Without Country one of
the newest Tannhauser productions, and
one of the greatest of the war time pic
lures that has ever been filmed, will be
at the Alcazar all next week. The pic
ture has a particular strong appeal at
this time for Edward Everette Hales
absorbing story of Philip Nolan, a lieu
tenant of the United States navy, who
was tried for reasonable utterances, and
banished forever from the shores of his
native land, is interviewer in the plot.
The Man Without Country" tells the
story of John Alton, a worldly young
American residing in New York just prior
to Americas entrance into the world S
war Alton, who is pacifist, is engaged
to Barbara Blair, whose father, Phineas
Blair, is head of the pacifist society. Bar
bara is intensely patriotic and when she
sees that Alton will not change his views
after her brother Tom has enlisted, Bar
bara breaks her engagement and sails
for France as q Red Cross nurse
Dr. Milton, a friend of Atoms father,
is spurned by the young man when he
tries to arouse in him patriotic feeling.
Oh the United States,'' says Alton.
Milton leaves after giving Alton a copy
of THE Man Without Country" which
lie had brought with hinl-Edward Ev
erett Hales story of unfortunate Philip
Nolan, lieutenant in the United States
army, who was on trial for treason in
1907
Oh the United States; L wish 1 may
never hear of the United States again. =
When Alton reads these lines he looks
at the book in Wonderment, saying:
why these are the very words | re-
Gently used at the club" AS he speaks,
his sweetheart, in the guise of Columbia,
the Goddess of Liberty, appears before
him. and tells him that in a previous in
carnation, he, John Alton, pacitist, was
Lieutenant Philip Nolan, y. S. A., and
leads him bach to all of the scenes in
which that unhappy officer figured.
Aroused from his vision, following No
lan's trial, Alton learns that the ship on
which Barbara went abroad has been
sunk by the enemy. Renouncing the
peace at any price attitude which he
has SO far assumed, Alton, patriot hur-
ries to the nearest recruiting station and
enlists for the defense of his country.
The report of Barbara's death, coming
from her brother Tom, proves incorrect
and the lovers are reunited as the world
war begins.
