ALEXANDER'S STORE ROBBED BY MEN IN
 SOLDIER UNIFORMS
Vanderbilt Store Victim of Bold Rob- bery by Two Unknown
 White Men

TWO white men, wearing regulation uniforms of United States soldiers, robbed Alexanders store at Wander men entered the store pretending to purchase a soft drink and while be- ing waited on drew revolvers and or dered occupants to hold up their hands.
 When several of the people in the store hesitated one of the men fired two shots. The cash register was then ransackd of s16 by one of the men, while his companion guarded over the stores occupants.
 Police were notified immediately following the robbery and made d thorough search of the vicinity, but no trace of the men could be found They wore no masks and went about their work slowly and deliberately.
 In addition to the two men who work in the store, four men were making purchases there. The six men were lined against the counter ana one of the robbers stood on guard about six feet away with d cooked trigger to his army revolver His com panion, after firing two shots at d Greek. who was tardy in uplifting his hands, placed his pistol in his over coat pocket and proceeded to take all the money from the cash register in addition to several small articles.
 No trace of the robbers had been found at an early hour this morning. Sergeant Morland and Officer Burgess investigated.

to conserve and equitably distribute coal in Alabama that he feels con strained to give a little advice to the food administrators of the country.
 Hence MT. Kenned!- recently made the statement that the people of this state would b compelled to follow She plan of the Confederate soldier who ate green persimmons to contract his stomach to the size of his ration, and this remark coming from the state fuel administrator has been made the sub ject of much comment throughout the country.
 The fact that Anniston's population is at least one-third greater than it was one year ago, and the further fact that every room in the city is occupied, every grate and heater site is being used is partially responsible for the present coal shortage as faced by the people of this city.
 Virtually the same amount of coal has been shipped into Anniston so far this winter as had been received on January 1. year ago, and the addi- tional demands being made on the local dealers gives rise to a pancky condition at times, which is often with out foundation of fact. Local dealers dispose of their coal just about as fast as 1t Is delivered to them by the rail- roads. and with the steady moving of the fuel output by the railroads the coal shortage should be thing of the past.

Pennsylvania Negro
 Makes Charges Against
 Troops From the South
Claims They Try to Have the French Hold Black Soldiers in Contempt.
 Story Not Believed

Washington, January 4-(Special)- war department has a report to the eff feet that the delegates to convention of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, held in New York, were aroused to frenzy by declaration of w. J. Carter of Harris burg, Pa, that he had positive proof of an organized propaganda among south ern soldiers with General Pershing in France to induce Frenchmen to hold in contempt negro soldiers in the service of the United States.
 Carter is alleged to have stated further that this propaganda among southern soldiers has been exerted to induce north ern soldiers to hate the colored man in arms. The negro charges that the prop aganda was initiated among southern CTS by agents of the German government.
 Unofficial informat ton is to the effect that the boast of Carter that he possesses positive proof will not be investigated. It is stated, however, that if the Har- risburg negro makes direct representa- ton of similar import to the war de- partment proof might be demanded.
 Southern members of Congress, aware of the negros charge against southern soldiers, speak very freely and very pointedly and evidently do not care if the negro hears about it.

FREIGHT TRAIN AIDS OFFICERS IN MAKING
 ARREST OF FUGITIVE
Steve Clements Captured in Ensley After Lively Race Between Two
 Ford Automobiles

A brand new Ford, Ford of ancient vintage, and a freight train were the participants in a lively two-mile race at Ensley last night, first honors going to the freight train
 As Deputy Sheriff Lee White and Constable Will Kemp were hunting a German spy last night about 10 o'clock in the outlying section of Nineteenth street beyond Ensley, they heard the "chug-chug'' of a swiftly moving cal coming along the road behind them. As the two cars approached there was mutual recognition, the officers recog- nizing Cleve Clements, white man residing at Brighton, and Steve spotted the officers.
 He immediately threw on more gas and 'lit out toward Ensley, the of fcers immediately Tit out after him, and lively race for about two miles ensued. The officers put their 'tin liz zie' to the full test and despite the fact that she responded nobly, the pace maker in his new machine was rapidly increasing the distance between the two flyers" when fate in the shape of a huge locomotive and string of reight cars put halt to bis Barney Oldfield The race occurred on the Nineteenth road leading to the steel plant and the end of it came at the first railroad crossing near the steel plant, for jus as Clements approached the trail crossed the tracks and put an end tt his wild ride and enabled the officers tt catch him.
 The cause for the nasty departure iron the society of the officers by Clements was probably due to the fact that a five gallon jug of white lightning" was dis covered in the auto driven by him, ane the said discovery is responsible for hi sojourn in the county jail last night or charge of violating the prohibition law.

BRITISH ARMY HIGH COMMAND MAY BE CHANGED VERY SOON
This Is Intimated in Londor Following Recall of Sev- eral Ambassadors and
 Other Displacements

London, January "A topic that IS greatly interesting British officialdom and the public at the moment is the selection of an ambassador to the United States to succeed Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice
 Three thus far are being discussed those of Viscount Grey, former foreign secretary; Earl Reading, lord chief jus tice of England, and J. Austen Cham berlain, eldest son of the late Joseph Chamberlain, and former secretary for India
 The government today is engaged in re- tiring several of it's servants of high standing and reputation, notably in dip- lomacy and the army and the navy This does not mean they have failed. but it does mean that war weariness and the strain of nearly four years service under conditions of almost overwhelming responsibility and toll make fresh blood and less wearied men imperative.
 Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe was shining example of the necessity of re- tiring popular and able officer under such conditions, and the new shippers are speaking freely of the need of changes in the higher commands of the British army. Probably an important announcement of that character will be made soon. France has done this ruth lessly and consistently Although Mar shal Joffre was in the heart of the peo- pie and the foremost man of France the government placed him on the side track when they came to the thought the nations interests required it.
 Premier Lloyd Georges government is facing the same conditions and apparent ly is dealing with them the same way.
 London, January Alt is understood that Lord Reading has been asked whether he would be willing to become British ambassador to the United States. says the Daily News.

Pigs and Patriotism

Norway. a little Maine town of 5000 people, made such a remarkable show ing in all kinds of war work that Will liam Almon Wolff has written the story of it in Everybody's. One of the side- issues was a pigraising plan devised by Talbot Mundy. the novelist.
 You can buy a very young pig for $5-or could. last spring, in Norway. So Mundy evolved this plan: He got good many small farmers and families who had a little ground around their houses, to agree to keep a pig--if the pig were furnished. Again he worked along cooperative lines. Most of the people he approached either couldn't, or wouldn't spend $5 for a pig. And they were disposed to balk, too. at the prospective cost of upkeep-because even pig costs something for feed.
 If get the pig said Mundy will you pay half the cost of feeding and keeping him if I find some one to pay the other half? You look after the pig and pay half the cost-and own a half-inter- est in the pig. The person who buys him and pays the other half of the cost owns the other half-and you divide the pro- ceeds when he's sold. How's thatG
 Tt was all right. So Mundy, with his pledges tabulated, set out to find spon- = sors and godfathers for pigs. There are people all over New England, in New York, in Chicago, in Philadelphia, who own half a pig in Norway now! They clamor for pictures of them too-Mundy has sent dozens of snapshots he has talk en of pigs in various stages of growth, which now are being proudly shown by their various owners.
 "And-l3S pigs were raised in and around Norway last summer on Mundy' s cooperative plan.
 Next summer there will be more, many more. He has waiting list of people who want to own half q pig"

From the " ord Outlook
 When our soldier boys mingle with the soldiers of all nationalities and fight over strange and disease-soaked soil they may acquire many strange disease germs and, returning to America, bring them along.

But science is dealing with this problem with unprecedented vigor Sir William Osler sad: Never before history has so great host been assembled; never before in war time have armies been so healthy"

War Not Child,s Play

Henry Farrand Griffin. in Leslie's.
 During the past few weeks the Ameri- can people. for the first time, have awak- ened to the fact that we are engaged in a real war with an exceedingly danger ous and resourceful enemy. It was high time. Perhaps the greatest weakness of the entente allies has been the ten dency of their leaders. no less than their peoples, to underestimate the strength and staying power of the enemy, Until very recently we have been nursing the same illusions, and the awakening has come none too soon. Many factors con tributed to it--the Italian disaster, the threatening consequence of the Russian armistice, the startling repulse of the victorious British advance on Cambrai, and certain ambiguous newspaper dis patches. mutilated by the censorship in a manner that made many people sus- pect that the situation was worse than
 we were allowed to know But perhaps
 the greatest factor in driving home to
 the average man the fact that this war Is
 no child's play has been the disconcert-
 ing domestic shortage of some of the
 very necessities of life-such as coal,
 sugar, and the like When man in the
 midst of winter cannot buy coal at any
 price, it makes considerably more of
 all lHlpTeSSlOH OH nm tudH HcWspdpcl
 Stories of far-away battles In Europe. It
 brings the war straight home in a very
 cold and unpleasant manner As usual
 in such belated public reactions to the course of events, the pendulum Is likely to swing to the other extreme. The scat. ter-brains who few weeks ago were so positive the American fleet could easi- ly brush over the mine fields of Heligo- land bay and dig the rats' out of the Kiel canal, the people who talked so light -heartedly of American troops marching into Berlin by spring-these are the people who are now willing to give crcdence to every fantastic rumor If gloom and despair. They find it quite easy to believe that Zeppelins will be bombarding New York tomorrow or that a submarines periscope was sighted in the Hudson river last night. It Is we'll | indeed, that the American people should realize what a stern job we have un- dertaken, but needless panic can do quite as much harm as unreasoning, boastfu
 assurance of victory.
