Statement. December s1. 1917

Musician Mitchell, who has played in various theatres in Birmingham during the past three years, is the composer of the Dixie Division" song that has gained great popularity throughout this section of the south and it's sales have run up into the thousands although the song has been the market but four weeks. MT. Mitchell is a member of the 18th field artillery band, formerly the Second Alabama infantry band of Bir- mingham. He is director of the 116th field artillery orchestra and organist of the St. Pauls G,piscopaD church of Ma con. The music of Dixie Division" is catchy both as a patriotic number and as a dance selection. The boys of Camp Wheeler claim it as their own, and it seems that every soldier is sending a copy to his girl.

BIG DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CARS USED IN THIS TERRITORY

The Alabama demurrage and storage bureau has just issued demurrage figures which show decrease in the number of cars handled in this territory of 750s over those handled in the correspond ing month of last year. 7s.0s1, as conn pared with 66.oA The January report also shows a decrease over the previous month of 83,A5.
 It h believed that the work of the subcomrittee on car service. of which H. E. Hutchens is chairman. on capac- ity loading of the cars as handled in this district has decreased the number of cars required to move the tonnage. It Is pointed out that the shortage of locomotives and the congestion of freight is also . reason for the decrease in cars used.

One or two of the larger plants had mo- tices posted yesterday that any employe desiring to quit work would be given his time and wages due upon application. Quite number applied
 As the demand for cast iron pipe is not pressing at the present time there is not much anxiety felt over the shut down of the Bessemer plants, and apart from the spirit of discord that has been raised there appears to be no material damage.

the station and to remain there "a
see that it was not reconstructed.
The German saton was situated
on the estate OF a very wealthy and
well known Argentine about -
miles from Buenos Aires near Pol
mer. 1t was six miles from the rail
road station but its posts could be
seen from the railroad on clear
day.
Some idea Of the size OF the radio
station can be CLEANED from the
fact that the antennae were stretch
ed along 10 posts, set at equal dis
tances apart and covering two miles,
These posts were 70 feet high.
The eXperimentcrs had good
deal OF trouble with atmospheric
conditions. The operator, Richard
Metzler, stated that he had been
able to talk without difficulty with
Spain, which was relaying the
Nauen messages, and that ii would
not be long before he would be able
to talk direct with Nauen. His
station was dismantled a week ait
cr he made that statement, and
largely because OF his statement.
This enterprise was one OF the
most important, in the minds nj
local German officials, as this sta
ton was to have served for the re-
ceipt of the German propaganda
messages. Luxburg is understood
to have been personally responsible
for the enterprise and the station
was located on the estate of man
known to be his close friend.
Now the station is dismantled,
LuXburg has gone, and the local
Germans find their propaganda task
a difficult one, though they are still
doing the best they can with it.

On a 20-acre tract, the hospital,

GERMAN DREAM IN
ARGENTINE NOT REALIZED
Hun Sought to Maintain Wireless
Station, but Failed.

Buenos Aires, June 2.-(Corre-
spondcnce OF the Associated Press
The departure OF Count Karl Won
Luxburg. the deposed minister oi
! the German empire, eight months
after the Argentine government or
derei him out of Argentina, recalls
the failure of Germany's fondest
dream in Argentina-the establish
ment OF wireless station power
full enough to maintain direct COM
munication with the big German
station at Nauen.
The day after LuXburg was Civ
Ell his passports, this station was
dismantled by the Argentine gov
ernment which withdrew the tenn
porary concession under which it
was operating. Great secrecy sur
rounded this station.
Early last year, the Argentine
government issued a temporary
concession to enable a German syn
dicate to conduct experiments with
wireless station, on the promise
that the tsation would merely at
tempt o receive he Nauen dispatches
and would not be used for the trans
mission of messages. 1t later be-
came known that the station was
sending as well as receiving.
Some time before the LuXburg
scandal, the Argentine government
had put a representative at the sta
tion to keep it sealed. When it was
learned that the station was oper-
ating despite the presence OF the
government agent, the president
sent naval officer to diSmantle

in the felicity of triumph over the
evil that threatens to ovcrwhelm the
world. Were all other motives tC
fail this would fire our hearts and
steel our wills-the motive Of 10y
atty to the dead.
"lf prayer be the mighticst weap-
on placed in our hands, we dare not
restrict its power merely to the aid
OF the living. For the dead also are
still on the same great stream OF
life as we are. And they, too, need
the shepherding and shielding OF
God.
And the dead are as the living,
within the fold of the one envelop-
ing God. ii mothers prayer may
mean that a new inspiration can
come to her SON in the trenches,
and new resolve to follow after
God, surely a mothers prayer may
also mean a fuller sense OF God
coming to her son within the veil;
and ii he be far away, the resolu-
ton may rise in his heart; 1 will
arise and go to my Father
1--WE know regard;''r the dead
that they pray wing; for
we read OF + y 5, IS full OF
odors whi ,rc the prayers OF
saints. And this is so natural that
we instinctively know it to be true.
The mother who prayed for her
children on earth, goes on praying
for them in heaven. 1t is impos
sible that death could CONCEAL the
prayers of love on her lips. If
through their prayers there come to
us hope and vision and guidance,
how dare we cease directing the
forces OF prayer towards them For
they are not yet perfected. For
them, too, difficulties may emerge.
and stretches OF dim valleys may
have to he passed. If they be still
free (and we cannot think that
death can so pauperize as to make
men mere automata) they may still
have TO face peril. For heaven is
not a place where men cannot sin,
but rather place where they do
not want to sin. And we cannot err
in that--in asking for our beloved |
lead that they may never more want
,in.
Clearly this war is stimulating
hought upon the profoundcst
hemes; and in many hearts Will be
ound an echo to the declaration OF
God and the Soldier" That earth
nay again be made radiant for us't
With the glory Of immortality we
must open the windows of the soul
