WAS JESUS IA PACTEIST,
Rev. Dr. George w. C. Hill to Answer
 Question TOmOrrow

great many people have been much troubled over support of this war and their Christian beliefs and principles. They have wondered how they could be true to their religious faith and at the same time be out and out patriots in encoura 2ing and working for prosecution of the war. And they have thought that it must all go back to the Founder of the Christian faith. Was the Christ man Of peace always and without
 cond1tlo~ under all conditions or was He man sensible of a necessity at times for the struggles of war? How did he stand on this all-impor- tant issue? On the answer to, this question depends Christian mans and Christian nations attitude. To this query: Was Jesus Pacifist?' answer will be made in the sermon at the South church tomorrow morn ing. Service in the chapel at 10:45.

take business individually
 The people in the West and North, where copper is produced, cannot es- cape the feeling that their industry has been arbitrarily handicapped, and that of the South has been left free. Really there is far more reason for fixing the price for cotton now than there ever was for fixing the price for copper, Cotton is a commodity of seasonal production. The planting of this years crop was determined by the price for last years but before the real commodity price of last years crop could be determined there were many speculative adjustments and maneuvers. In situatoin like the present there would naturally be un- usual turmoil and great profits by some shrewd and lucky people at the expense of those less shrewd and lucky. Such situations seldom de- velop in commodities of regular pro- duction. like the metals-at least not to the same, extent-for they are never stocked up in the same way.

BRAVE MEN AND TiMiD DOLLARS

Never in the history of the world have men been braver than they are today Never has the Death of Bat ties stalked in a more hideous or more terrifying form. Men in thous- ands have braved the terrors of the sea-the dread typhoon-the obscur- ing fog-the iceberg and the hidden reef. They have fought battles, ship to ship when gun belChed into gun and sharpshooters fired from the fighting tops, but never before have they faced the unseen terror that sneaks through the dark blue depths of the ocean and launches its deadly bolt with comparative safety to it's own hull and crew.
 The very thought of falling from a height is terrifying to the average man. and yet our boys eagerly go up aloft until they are meres specks upon the sky, and there in Cockleshells of cloth and spruce, they fight like eagles for the mastery of the air.
 Men have gone down in mines to clubs and slings. arrows and swords, damp, but never has the air we must breathe been poisoned over areas bounded by miles, when the eyes smart with acid tears and every

COPPER AND COTTON.

The promise of large crop of cot ton this year has been blasted by un- favorable weather, and we are now confronted by the certainty of short ed by a further advance in price. as it was, although the latter was already high. But now the War Industries board proposes to step in and fix the price for cotton the immunity of which has heretofore been the sub ject of pungent comment. Immediate ly the Southern senators and repre- sentatives rose in rage and rushed to the White House to see about this iconoclastic idea of interfering with what has previously been sacrosanct It may be conceived that the White House was embarrassed by this sit uation, but the President seems to be meeting it manfully.
 However the immunity of cotton heretofore has been akin to scandal in our affairs. We compare it with copper. for the latter has been the chief scapegoat. Both cotton and cop per are essential elements in ammu- milton. Copper is used for making the cartridge cases, cotton for making the explosive that is put into them. Copper is produced in the North and West by companies that are largely owned in New York and New England. Cotton is produced in the South, chief ly by individual planters. In the eC- onomic policy of both the Adminis- tration and of congress there has been a mighty difference according to geo. graphy and a mightier one according to whether a group of. say 10000 peo- pie combine to do business together, or whether the same number under

 ID SUCCEED ''PR0S"
National "Sandlot" Circuit Will Step Into Shoes of
 Big Leagues

Officials of the National Baseball federation, of which all leading anna teur leagues including the one here in Birmingham. are members, will take immediate steps to place the organiza- tion on firmer footing with the view of succeeding professional baseball when the latter is placed in the dis card on September l. The sand lot" game may be played as long as the war lasts for 1t does not interfere with the essential occupations of those par ticipating and hence is looked upon with favor by the government
 The following statement, issued by President Cliff Martin of the National Baseball federation, will be of interest to all amateur and semi-pro aggresa- tions in the country.
 The National Baseball federation has always worked under the rules of professional ball and has working agreements with park owners in the different cities, where they play when the home club is on the road, and dur ing the month of September the inter- city series of the federations will take place so that when the big leagues dis continue September 1 the federation will commence it's big series and give the people of these cities the highest class of ball available outside of the big leagues.
 As long as the war lasts the federa- ton can continue, as the amateur class of players is the youth under craft age, and we are only making bet ter athletes for Uncle Sam later on, and the semipro class is made up of players not in draft age or men work ing in the industrial and war plants, playing on Saturday and Sunday only, So that Baseball can be kept alive :.l the different cities without in any way affecting Uncle Sam, but rather help ing him by producing more fighting men and athletes out of the sand lotters' and at the same time giving good, healthful recration to them and amusing the folks at home.
 The National Baseball federation is in position to go into the principal cities of the country on short notice and have an exchange of games be- tween cities that will help to fill the zap caused by the closing down of pro : fessional ball.
 'It is also the aim of the National Baseball federation to work with the commission on training camp activities cf the war department in arranging games in the different cities with terms in the camps, the proceeds to go to the commission for athletic pur- roses.
 "Dr. Joseph Raycroft and Boyd Com steck of he commission are working w,sh the federation to this end, and when they have completed arrange nehts games will be played"
