 It was suggested that Birmingham should proceed at once in raising funds for the construction of means of access to the river, and of wharfage facilities at points to be designated oy engineers The Alabama delegation has received an intimation that if Birmingham shows real interest, legislation not only in creasing the Warrior locks from to s feet but authorizing the construction Of lock IS. would be recommended.
 It is pointed out that Tuscaloosa has raised $50,0O0 and that Birmingham could raise ten times as much.
 The director general has received tele- grams from civic organizations in Bfr- mnghah, Mobile and other points in Alabama indorsing his bill extending the governments contro; over railroads Tor five years. Similar inducements have also been received from cities of states through which the Mississippi flows. 1t Is singular. in this connection. that dem ocratic senators representing such states are tentatively opposed to the McAdoo proposal.

Amendment Providing for Refund to Those Who Have Suffered Net Loss in
 Business Retained

Washington, December 16. After Senator Shoot of Utah, republican, had delivered a prepared address criticizing the war revenue bill, the Sen ate today began consideration of disputed sections of the measure. On the first roll call taken on the bill, the Senate voted, 36 to 16, to retain the finance committees amend ment, providing for refund of taxes to those who demon strated that in previous years they have suffered a net loss in their business.
 Tomorrow it is planned to discuss the income tax section.

 provision had come from agricultural as

ing over of the wire systems, Mir. Burle- son said
 ITO establish and maintain means of communication Is as much the func- ton of the government as is the pro- vision for national defense. Moreover. it is essential to the do- velopment of the county and to the progress and prosperity of it's people. 1t Is defense of the national inter- ests as much in peace is in war. Extension of the wire service should be determined by the public needs, not the opportunity for private gain"
 The Postmaster General said he be. lieved that an effective plan should be worked out by which the waste of competition can be eliminated and the advantage of private initiative in re- search investigation and eperimenta- ton not be lost.
 Calling attention to the fact that under the existing law the telephone and telegraph properties will automat- ically revert to the private owners upon proclamation by the President of a status of peace, the letter says that many of the independent companies could not take back the properties without serious loss to the investors and great detriment to the service. Many of these companies, the letter says, were operating at a loss owing to waste incident to competition and diversity of state regulations, and as proper depreciation funds have not been set aside. tho properties were drifting into a condition where proper public service could not be rendered.

In support of the government owner ship resolution introduced in the House last week by Representative Moon, the Postmaster General quoted from the re- cent letter of Theodore N. Vail, presi- dent of the American Telephone and Tel egraph company. and from the annual reports of number of the Postmasters General since the civil war, all of whom or ownership would greatly contribute to the efficiency of service.
 "The economic importance of the propo- sition to acquire the properties by the government is very great MT. Burleson wrote Private capital is invested in public service enterprises with the ex- pectation of to per cent and often greater return upon the investment This, of course, the public Is expected to pay, while the government can borrow money at AZ per cent. The public, however. pays the charge in either event. The difference between Az per cent and per cent for the money invested in the wire systems of the United States would main tain and pay for the property in IS years and nine months. The government as owner would no more expect to charge for interest on the investment than 1t would for money invested in postal fa- cilities, navy yards or other public prop erty."

CONDUCTS STATE AFFAIRS

Paris, December 16.-During the in- tervals between official calls and visits today, the President was engaged in affairs of state much after the manner of his procedure in the White House offices. He did considerable business over the telephone just as at home.
 President Wilson has been insisting that the American peace mission or- ganize it's machinery so that the peo- pie in the United States can begin to know what is happening. Meanwhile, the mission is trying to get itself set- tied so as to begin preliminary work.
 Joseph C. Grew, formerly counsellor Iof the American embassy in Vienna, will take charge of the official an- |nouncements which would be ordinari- ly transmitted to the United States. He will have as assistants Ray S Baker and Maximilian Foster.

 Your greeting has raised many emo tions within me, the President began.
 Tt is with no ordinary sympathy that the people of the United States for whom I have the privilege of speaking, have viewed the susTerings of the people of France. Many of our own people have been themselves witnesses of those sufferings We were more deeply moved by the wrongs of the war because we knew the manner in which they were perpetrated.
 T beg you not to suppose that be cause wide ocean separated us n. space, we were not in effect eyewit- nesses to the shameful ruin that was wrought, and the cruel and unnecessary sufferings that were brought upon you. These sufferlngs have filled our hearts with indignation. We know what they were. not only, but we know what they signifed, and our hearts were touched to the quick by them. our imaginations filled with the whole picture of what France and Belgium in particular had experienced
 TWO CAUSES
 When the United States entered the war, therefore, they entered it not only because they were moved by a conviction that the purposes of the central empires were wrong and must be resisted by men everywhere who loved liberty and the right. but also because the illicit ambitions which they were entering ans attempting to realize, had led to the practices which shocked our hearts - much as they offended our principles.
 "Our resolution was formed because we know how profoundly great princi- ples of right were affected but ouy hearts moved also with our resolution
