ADJUSTMENTS
At Loew's Bijou

There were crowds every hour at Loews Bijou yesterday and in the late afternoon and again at night the house was almost tested to it's hold ing capacity, all of which information conveys to those few who have not gotten acquainted with the Loew pol icy the fact that there is a new state of affairs in Birmingham theatrical history.
 Incidentally, the quality of the shows Mr. Loew has been sending to Birmingham the last few weeks would draw crowds to the fairgrounds if staged there, instead of at the beau tiful, comfor table, convenient and very popular Loews Bijou. Theatregoers who have not until now cared great deal for the movies have been con- verted to the style of pictures MT. Loew books, and this part of the con- tinuous performance daily Is growing more and more popular. For instance, for the first three days of the week Franklin Farnum, the brother of the famous Bill Farnum, and the dashing Dusty Farnum, is the star of Bring up Home Father" one of the most interesting and entertaining comedy

New Corn Remover Causes
 Big Run On Drug Stores

Since the virtues of Ice-Mint as a corn remover became known in this country, druggists have been having an extra ordinary demand for this product. and it is predicted that women will wear smaller and prettier shoes than ever.
 The fact that this new discovery, which is made from a Japanese product will actually remove corns-roots and all-and without the slightest pain or soreness, is, of course, mainly respons- ible for its large and increasing sale.
 You apply a little on a tender aching corn and instantly the soreness is re- 1ieved, and soon the corn is so shriv- eled that 1t may be lifted out with the fingers-root and all. It is a clean, creamy, snow-white, non-poisonous substance and will never inflame or ir- ritate the most tender skin. Cutting or pairing corns too often produces blood poisoning and people are warned to stop it. Just ask in any drug store for a small jar of Ice Mint and you can quickly end your corn misery and make your feet feel cool and fine. There is nothing better.

Every incoming train from the south is swelling the throng, and today the city assumed an aspect never before pre- sented. Grand Army men were mingling with their old-tlme opponents in gray, and in addition Spanish war veterans and the men now training for service in France added a touch of color unique in American history. An escort of Grand Army men met Gen. George P. Harrison, commander-in-ch of the veterans, on his arrival today.
 IN FULL SWING
 Although the reunion will not be for mally opened until tomorrow, for all pur- poses it is now in full swing. In the camp, under the caves of the capitol, the veterans are busy renewing old &C., quaintances and Washington residents, congressman and senators are almost swamping the campgrounds to convince the one-time rebels" that they are now welcome to the goal they so threatened half-century ago. In cafes the strains of Dixie are given place along with the ''Star-Spangled Banner"
 All day today, as various remnants of regiments arrived and marched in mili- tary order through the city the old rebel yelp' fell on unfamiliar ears.

After cab aret patrons have reached that stage of ntoXication where they simply want to make a noise and might be thrown out if they indulged their fancy, the jazz band steps in and makes the noise for them.

Washington, June 4.-Prohibition legis- lation was approved today by the Senate finance committee as a new feature of the war tax bill.
 Prohibitive taxes upon distllation of whisky and other spirits for beverage purposes, with a ban upon their importa- tion, were agreed upon by substantial majority of the committee. Taxes fixed by the House on beer and wines were left unchanged, though they have not yet been finally approved.
 General suspension of beverage produc- ton by distilleries and use of liquor now in bonded warehouses probably would be the effect of the new tax section if en- acted into law.

 SHIP AFTER SHIP SUNK
 We saw ship after ship sent to the bottom-ships of mercy bound out of America for the Belgian starving ships carrying the Red Cross and laden with the wounded of all nations, ships flying the Stars and Stripes-sent to the bot tom hundreds of miles from shore, manned by American seamen, murdered against all law. without warning.
 We believed Germany's promise that she would respect the neutral flag and the rights of neutrals and we held our anger and outrage in check. But now We see that she was holding us off with fair promises until she could build her huge fleet of submarines. For when spring came she blew her promise into the air, just as at the beginning she had torn up that scrap of paper.
 We are fighting Germany because she violated our confidence Paid German spies filled our cities officials of her government received as the guests of this nation lived with us to brbe and terror ize, defying our law and the law of na tions.
 We are fighting Germany because while we were yet her friends-the only great power that still held hands off
 
 her aid Mexico, our southern neighbor. and hoping to lure Japan, our western neighhor, into war against this nation of peace.
 ''The nation that would do these things proclaims the gospel that government has no conscience. And this doctrine cannot live, or else democracy must die.
 We are fighting Germany because In this war feudalism is making it's last ;y,cr is war for democracy-the right of all to be their own masters. Let Germany be feudal if she will. But she must not spread her system over world that has outgrown 1t.
 with poison gas that makes living hell with submarines that sneak through the seas to slyly murder noncombatants, with dirigibles that bombard men and women while they sleep, with perfected system of terrorization that the modern world first heard of when German troops entered China-German feudalism is mak- ing war upon mankind.
 MUST PAY TOLL
 Let this old spirit of evil have it's way and no man will live in America without paying toll to it, in manhood and money. This spirit might demand Canada from a defeated, navyless England, and then our dream of peace on the north would be at an end. We would live, as France has lived for 40 years, in haunt ing terror
 America speaks for the world in fight ing Germany.
 ''We fight with the world for an honest world, in which nations keep their word, for a world in which nations do not live by swagger or by threat, for world in which men think of the ways in which the crneltl6S of nature instead of inventing more hor- rible cruelties to inflict upon the spirit and body of man, for world in which the ambition and the philosophy of few shall not make miserable all mankind, for world in which the man is held more precious than the machine, the system or the state"

Finance Committee of Senate Places tS5 to ,S9 Tax On Liquor

spirits, Chairman Simmons said tonight, constituted the dual object of the com- mittee in adopting the substitutes for House rates. Manufacture of alcohol for industrial, mechanical or medicinal pur- poses would be affected.
 In addition to the present tax of $2.20 per gallon on liquor, a tax of $20 per bushel (from $5 to $9 a gallon) upon all grain, cereal or other foodstuffs used in manufacturing whisky or other distilled spirits for use as beverages was written into the bill Senator Simmons said the increase would be prohibitive upon manu- facture while the law is in effect, or dur ing the war. Increased taxes of S5s per gallon upon molasses, syrups and subst tutes used in distillation for beverage pur- poses also was agreed upon. Permits for exportation would be given only for war purposes upon application by a nation at war with Germany.

BANKS AND THE LIBERTY LOAN
By HOLLAND

 New York, June 5-. (Special)-A remark which was perhaps inadvertently made by Frank A. vanderlip just after he spoke. as he said. confidentially, of sub scription of s75,COO,OOO to the liberty loan by bank which he did not name, was this:
 T hope my own bank will do even bet ter"
 This remark has tended to confirm the suspicion that the liberty loan is practi- cally underwritten. Not that Secretary McAdoo has received formal or authori- tative assurances that the amount needed to make good the total subscription will be furnished by banks or very wealthy men, but that there is, presumably, a sort of tacit understanding that should it be necessary banks-national, state- chartered and individual-will be forth coming with whatever amount will be needed before the subscription time ends to make good the loan.
 It is, however, the belief that assist ance of this kind will not be needed. Secretary McAdoo and all of those who have been cooperating with him campaign which has for it's purpose the popularization of the loan are persuaded that what they hope for will prove to be the event and that hundreds of millions of subscriptions, each one, perhaps for small amount-S50 or s100-will be made in the next few days.
 Very likely Secretary McAdoo himself does not know what the exact amount nf al raa1lV is The common estimate in the financial district is that it Is approximately four-tlfths Of the entire amount. On Decoration Day of last week the estimate was that nearly s1, 100000 had been subscribed.
 INITIATION ON EXPANSION
 One comment that has occasionally been made respecting this loan-and by men of high authority-is that there may be danger possibly that after the bonds are issued many thousands who hold them will be tempted to convert them through the agency of the federal reserve banks into notes which will pass as cur rency. Should that be done there might follow great imitation of currency, With it's attendant dangers.
 Nevertheless, it is the belief that the federal reserve board and banks. as well as national bankers, will have it within their power to prevent imitation of this kind.
 Mir Vanderlip and others have clearly defined the difference between the kind of imitation which is dangerous and business expansion That business expansion upon an enormous scale will take place when the funds received for this loan and for taxes become available cannot be questioned. For the money is to be used exclusively for the purchase in the United States of supplies of all kinds. That does not involve dangerous expan- sion of credit, for the business thus created will be in response to the law of demand. Tn some respects business will move in different channels from those which have floated it to great prosperity during the past two years. But the ulti- mate result will be the same, for there

A weekly news picture is filled with patriotic punches and wins round after round of applause.
 The vaudeville features are unusu- ally clever and meet with approval The star act is the offering of Dainty Rose Schmettan and Brother, who do some fine posing and some wonder full gymnastic work. Anderson and Evans offer a legitimate comedy play let that is nicely accepted. The story holds interest and wins curtain calls because both actors are clever and get all the meat the act contains. Jack and Annie Bowen register many laughs wonderfully rapid with their antics and eccentric dances, and Arthur Dem ing brings back the old days of the first part with his line of joke and some parodies on up-to-the-m minute songs. A feature that will please the children is the work of Jap, the bull terrier shown by Del Badie, who wears cowboy outfit. The dog is might ty smart and has been splendidly trained
