ASKS WAR DEPARTMENT
TO GRANT PERMIT FOR
BRIDGE TO LONG KEY
W. D. McAdOO Expects No Trouble
in Securing Authority to Cross
Nayigable Waters
(St. Petersburg Times.)

(St. PETERSBURG llmeS.D
W. D. McAdoo, who holds per-
NIT from the county commissioners,
has made application to the United
States War Department at Jackson
willie for a permit to build bridge
across Boca Ceiga bay 1t is expected
that the department will promptly set
date for hearing at st. Petersburg
to decide II the proposed bridge will
interfere with navigation
1t is not expected that there will be
any objection on the part Of naviga-
ton interests on this point, as there
is very little traffic on the bay on ae-
count Of the narrowness and crook
edness Of the channel When the ST.
Petersburg Investment company APP
piled for a permit last year some OPP
position developed at the meeting be
cause of the fact that the proposed
bridge crossed the channel at an
acute angle and at point where the
current was unusually swift The
route selected by Mr.. McAdoo does
away with this possible objection, as
it is reported that the route selected
by him crosses at a point consider
ably north of the old route and spans
the channel at right angles.
Mr.. McAdoo has bought all OF the
north end of Long Key except about
so acres on the extreme northern tip
Long Key is about four miles lone
and at this point is over half mile
wide. The bay channel runs yer.
CLOSE to the island shore and Blint
pass gives an opening to the gulf foi
shallow-draft boats. Mr.. McAdoC
thinks that these and other advan
tages justify him in developing a re
sort here. He intends to call his de
velopments st. Petersburg Beach.
Mr.. McAdoo, who is from Greens

FAR FROM OBJECTIvES

The military critic of the Journal makes
the observation that the German com
mand is far from having attained his
detectives. He writes:
The enemy is adopting, at least to all
appearances, the plan of limited objec-
tives. He announces the success of the
.hrst phase of the battle with a haste
Which does not precisely indicate an
overwhelming confidence in the venture
If we must take the Germans at their
word we have then the right to affirm
tina. at the end of four days they have
not reached the detectives which, accord
ing to their own plans, had been assigned
for the first day. In reality the line in
front Of which they would have stopped
would, If conquered, have been the first
great result of the action
Until now the result attained does not
exceed that which is practically inevita-
BILE in actions where such energetic meth
DDS have been brought to bear. We have
always attained the same and it is not
to be supposed that the enemy employ
ing enormous forces would not have the
same fortune. 1t is very difficult to
realize taht he has used up his divisions
in the west solely for the pleasure of
gaining a limited extent of ground of
the usual proportions in an operation of
this character"
MUST PAUSE SOON
The Petit Journal also gave a resume
of the military situation as follows:
'The Germans have in front of them an
adversary whose tenacity is well known
and who has at his disposal every means
and every resource to continue the strug-
gle VIGOROUSLY. On the other hand, one
must not forget that the Germans, for
the reason of their advance and in spite
of the fresh arrivals, will find it neces-
sary to pause and bring up their heavy
artillery to the new line of combat The
English then can count upon certain de-
lay to prepare for the new attack, which
they will have to met. To support them
the French are on their right, south of
Tergnier, ready for apy advance. Thus,
then in spite of the English withdrawal
and for reasons of the sanguinary losses
sustained by the enemy. the situation is
not of a nature to disturb in any way
our confidence in the issue of the battle
which has but commenced and whose de-
velopment in the near future we can
await without disquietude."

competent men. They knew how to bring
large business to the road. They knew
how to establish real economy which did
not degenerate into parsimony. Under a
new arrangement, however, desire
greatly to economic was made mani
fest and that resulted in the employment
of men who were willing to give their
services for comparatively small salaries.
The operators who we're in this way dis
placed We're not long idle. Other rail-
road managers who were broad-minded,
soon brought these men into associa-
ton with their own systems and paid
them large salaries. But the operators
who had been secured at much smaller
salaries were not equal to their RESPONSE
bilities. Business was lost. The cost of
opt ra ting was increased, and it was the
understanding that although new men
were secured at small salaries thereby
saving some expense the road lost in a
course of year. through inefficiency
in management. more than s1,ooo,o0A.
These are some of the contingencies
which Mr. McAdoo, who is predetermined.
will carefully consider before deciding
to cut down the salaries of capable rail
road operators.

CALL MADE

Birmingham Women Urged to Re-

asked to respond to this call and as
sist in making kits. There is scarcity
of both aluminium and celluloid soap
boxes in Birmingham, it is. said, and
as the call especially requests soap
boxes. any citizen willing to donate
one is requested to leave it at Red
Cross headquarters on the balcony at
Loyeman, Jospeh & Loeb's store.
Mrs Morris Marx, publicity chair
man of the Birmingham chapter,
stated last night, This call is an

upon, they will surely respond this
time and the required number of kits

Norma Talmadge Again
Captures Movie Patrons
by Right of Purchase" is Her Latest
Triumph, Now Showing at
the Rialto

Norma Talmadge has again captured
Birmingham theatregoers in her latest
triumph, by Right, of Purchase" This
picture now being shown at the Riaito
is playing to capacity audiences and the
announcement that it will be continued
for the entire week is received with
pleasure. 1t is said that Norma Tai
madge is probably the most popular ac-
tress in moving pictures with the Biz
,ningham public and from the manner
in which the crowds are fIoclzing to the
Ralto this seems true.
"I;y Right of Purchase" is the story of
loveless marriage-a marriage for
money and its accompanying pangs.
Norma Talmadge as the money-wife has
a strong emotional part and she really
lives the part. The production is well
staged and the photography is perfect.
In fact, Norma Talmadge in "By Right
of Purchase is one of the best offer
ings of recent date, according to unani-
nous opinion of Birmingham theatre
goers.
