CHERADAME'S GREAT IDEA

Andre Chcrudnmc, recognized au- thority on pan-GcrmaniSm, lays before the allies Il daring plan for organizing scientifically Il revolution against pan Germany within it's very boundaries. He is confident that GO,OOOOOO German hating people of Bohemia, Galicia, Herzegovina, Pennsylvania, Bukowina and Poland can be aroused to active rebellion and that they can be supplied with arms and ammunition by squad rons of giant alrplanes like the Ca pronis. This, says NJ. Cheradame, Is the sure way to end the war.
 When Andre Cheradame states facts about middle Europe and the Balkans he speaks as Il very high au thority on such questions. Also, when he suggests Ii practical course of ac ton based on those facts he demands most serious attention as n man whose previous foresights, enunciutcd in | minute detail through more than two | decades. have been Strikingly and | completely borne out by the course of | .

A. l.. REESE IS NAMED
 CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR CHRIS HARTSFIELD

Albert l.. Reese, one of the best known men of the city, has been named campaign manager for Chris Harts- field, candidate for the office of sheriff of Jefferson county, and has assumed active charge of the campaign. Mir Reese stated last night that an active campaign would be waged in every precinct of the county by a large num- Der of volunteer workers who will give their time to help elect Mr. Hartsfield sheriff. He stated that in a few days all plans for the campaign will be complete and the fight will be waged energetcally right up to the day of election
 We are going to win.' said Mir. Reese, "because we believe the people know that MT Hartsfield is by far the best qualified man for the race. from the standpoint of experience, ef- flciency and aightforwardness His many years record as an officer of known courage and fair dealing, his &C., quaintance with all the details of the sheriffs office and the sheriff's work Tn the field, make him an ideal cau- didate. Few men would send a watch 10 blacksmith to be fixed; he would not know what to do with it. except to pass 1t on to man with experience, Then why elect an inexperienced man to office so important as that of sher- lff Of the greatest county of the state. when an experienced man is available }"

PATENT MEDICINE MEN AND JEWELLERS
 OPPOSE TAXATION
Suggestions From Treasury Depart. ment Are Received by House Com
 mlttee on Ways and Means

Washington, July 10.-Members of the House ways and means committee today studied with interest the list of luxury taxations suggested by the treasury de. partment, but opposition was apparent to many of the proposals which some com mltteemen regarded as impractical The committee vii take up the list item by item when it begins framing the new war revenue bill
 The first protest against the treas,lrv, & suggestion came during the committed s nearing of representatives of the whole sale and retail ,jewelry trade. Meyer D, Rotschild and Robert B. Steele, both or New York, declared the proposed 50 per cent retail tax on jewelry was ruin ous and would force so many concerns out of business that the government would not derive nearly as much revenue from this source as it would under the 10 per cent tax
 William H. Hill of Detroit, who ap- peared before the committee to represent the patent medicine industry, proposed the Canadian plan of affiXing a govern Tment tax stamp on patent medicines the amount of the tax to be added to the selling price.
 While Mir. Hill was on the stand Repre- sentative Fordney of Michigan, ranking republican member of the committee, said the government actual war ex- penses this year, after deducting $6,o0o,- 100000 loaned to the allies, would be $1S,- 00,000000. The $S,0000 100000 which it is proposed to raise by taxation, he said, represented 40 per cent of the total actual expense and that he did not think that amount should be raised by taxation

Anti-Amendists Claim That Former Governor O'Neal Will Enter Senatorial Race

Montgomery, July Especial )-Anti- amendists claim to have information that former Gov. Emmet O'Neal will enter the race for United States senator against Senator John H. Bankhead and Frank S White within AS hours and that he will have the indorsement of the anti-amend- ment organization. It was no secret in Montgomery today that anti-amendists have attempted to sound public opinion during the past two days in an effort to determine whether or not a candidate against the amendment can be formida- able contender It was said that Govern or O'Neal had decided to come to Mont gomery for conference and that some
 thing probably would be made public after the conference.
 The announcement of Governor O'Neal will tend to establish the fact in all
 minds that the amendment is the main issue. It will leave little room for per sons who have contendOl that the amendment was no issue, except for mem
 bers of the legislature. If he enters
 the race it may reasonably be expected that one of the amendment candidates will retire from the contest. The amend ists are not in the habit of dividing their own house.

'PILLORIES ERECTED
 AT FIVE POINTS AND
 COURTHOUSE LAWN
Warning Given Pro-Germans and Loafers by Planting of Enemy Posts in Conspicuous
 Parts of City

A party of well dressed men rode up to the intersections at Five Points in two automobiles early Wednesday and planted an old-time pil1ory post The pillory bore the following in- scription in large letters:
 Enemy post for pro-Germans, se- ditionists, profiteers, slackers and loaf CTS"
 After the party had dug a hole and planted the post in the ground, they proceeded to the courthouse where they placed similar post on the courthouse lawn facing Third avenue. The party Of men did their work quickly and quietly, and attracted very little at tention.
 The pillories are made of white pine, are plainly seen, even at night The hosts have place for two victims al q time.
 The placing of the pi1lories is the first material warning to pro-Germar.s that has been erected in Birmingham, although "slackers' cage"s Twas placed Tn Bessemer last week The day aft CT the placing of the cage an allesc seditionist was placed in it for several hours. A few months ago enemy spies were hung in effigy on downtown elec- tric poles.

More Home Newspapers Are Wanted by Soldiers Oversea

London, July 10.-"More home newspa- pers is the constant appeal from Amer ican soldiers in the camps and hospitals in Great Britain," says an American Red Cross report made public today.
 The American Red Cross library com n.ittee in London is now furnishing reading matter for 25,0OO men weekly, the report states, but the supply con ssts largely of books.
 The supply of home newspapers is not equal to one-tenth of the demand fo. them.
 "Regarding books" says the report, 'the men ask principally for fiction, ana light fiction at that, but the American magazines and newspaper give far greater satisfaction than do books. The cry of men is continually for more home news papers,"

NO MANS LAND BIG
 SCENIC PRODUCTION AT LYRIC THEATRE
Five Big Keith Acts on Bill for Latter Part of Week. Screen Telegrams a
 Feature

No Mans Land" the gigantic scen- ] ic production that will head the bill for the last half of the week, will fur nish the biggest thrill of any of the war scenes and playlets that have been heretofore seen on the local stage. Manned in reality by a returned sol dier. Corp. Bob Commons of the Ca- | nadian Highlanders, who won both recognition and decoration for con- spicuous bravery on the western front, machine guns will be trained on Ger man airplane engaged in the despic- able work of bombing a home of non combatants, and they bring it down crashing to the earth.
 Coropal Commons, now incapacitated by wounds from further duty in the trenches, is helping to present to the people of America the most startling plt or war realism ever staged.

ALLIED A|RMEN ARE UNQUESTIONABLY
 SUPERIOR TOENEMY
Not Only Is This So As to Combat Planes, But Bombing Operations
 Are Greater

With the British Army in France, July 10.-superiority in the air, clean cut and unauestionable. rests with the British flying men today. There have been periods in times past when it seemed that very slight addition of strength to either one side or the oth- CT might tip the balance temporarily, but no such period exists now. British airmen are supreme.
 Not only have the Kings flyers been maintaining a decided upper hand in the intense fighting in the air, but the work of British bombing squadrons has far exceeded that of the enemy in vigor and results. In the more spectacular field of operations, aerial fighting, the British have bounded hostile pilots un- til the greater part of their battles have occurred east of the German lines, and in numerous engagements, staged every day when the weather permits, great numbers of hostile machines have been destroyed. One British aviator alone has sent 25 crashing to the earth in the last few months and others of his comrades are not far behind in their total.
 The work of bomb ing squadrons has been further into German back areas in search of military objeetives. There has been no let up. Day and night, squad rons of British planes have kept ur an almost endless bombardment of i'm portant positions and their accuracy in bomb dropping is testified to in scores of photographs of destructive hits.
 Not only have railways, airdromes and other vital objectives been effectu- ally bombed, but the loss of life among German troops in concentration camps has been exceedingly heavy. Captured documents bear testimony to this and prisoners admit it.
 The British have consistently con- ducted their raids from an exceedingly
