RAILWAY CHIEFS
WANT ROADS BACK
OPPOSE GOVERNMENT CONTROL
BEYOND TWENTY-oNE MONTHS
PERIOD DESIGNATED.
Fight for Prompt Return of Lines to
Owners After the Passage of
Remedial Laws Is
Decided Upon.

New York.-A definite program call
ing for prompt return of the railroads
after the passage of remedial federal
legislation was worked out at a meet
ing here, December 20, of the standing
committee of the Association of Rail-
road Executives, according to an off.
cial announcement. While provisions
of the plan were not made public, it
was said that they took into consider
alton every detail Of the program.
The program will be submitted next
month to the senate interstate COM
merce commission, if it is approved at
a full meeting of the association called
for December 80.
Whatever the cost, it was said, the
executives are opposed to extending
the period of federal control beyond
twenty-one months after the signing
Of peace, as prescribed by law. 1t is
understood that, rather than have the
time extended to five years, as sug-
gested by Director General McAdoo,
they would prefer return Of the roads
without the proposed legislation.
A hint as to what form the execu-
tives think this legislation should take
is found in the reasons they ascribe
for improved conditions effected by
government operation, which are ad-
ditional equipment, abolition of the
shippers power to route his own traf-
fic, increase in demurrage rates, de-
crease in time allowed for loading and
unloading, and strict supervision Of
shipments.

TIE HEALTHY KAISER

From the New York Times
 Film and myth maker Karl Rosner sees his Kaiser ''in radiant health, bronzed and brignt-eyed." The telephone tells the imperial ears that German bat talion is across the Aisne. The fast building Guglielmiana'-and where will old Napoleon be when it is published ?- is increased by an oracular, pompous "the victory is won, one of our great victories on which our strong future will rest.''
 Does this everlasting pose and prattle of the Kaiser nag a little the nerves ot honest Michael?" What a picture this health and radiance of the Kaiser make' By his act as truly as if by his hand. millions of men are dead. Thousands are blind Whole races have been almost exterminated after cruel suffering. Star vation is the normal lot of millions. Plagucs, typhuses, a legion of diseases. have ragged over the world. Multitudes of little children droop and die for want Of the scantiest foods and remedies. Even in his own empire robust health has faded from the crowd Europe and Asia are sick. The world is a hospital and a graveyard. And this poor strutting, ca botin of Kaiser is healthy as a horse and merry as a cricket.
 So death is healthy, staying but un- slain.

GERMANY,s TOBACCO

From the New York World.
 The German civilian body may eat chemical eggs and synthetized bread. 1t may endure paper clothes. It may scramble for the drug store compound that makes it feel as if it had had the square meal that was not. The German military body is made of more exactins stuff. We learn by way of Amsterdam of soldierly insides ravaged by the fumes of a near-tobacco supplied by the army administration.
 1t must not be doubted that the bogus weed was profered with the kindliest scientific intent. The German mind is as strong or psychology as on frightfu.- ness. Why should not that part of It which dwells under gray-green helmets be blessed and soothed by smoke" contrived in the laboratories of kultur. instead of in such green plantations as Cubas? Would it not be all part ana parcel of the commanded general faith in the fatherland and paternal em- peror?
 But when the test came with prepared beech leaves, even an inspired patriot ism failed to qualify. The barracks burst into agony. As described to the Reichstag later, the effect of the mock tobacco was worse than that of enemy gas. What the all-highest said We do not yet. know, Herr Rosner may report later his tears or his wrath. Meanwhlie, upon orc article of faith at least mili- tarism and democracy join hands. There is but one tobacco, and Madame Nico- tine is it's prophecies.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
How 1bey Cet Free Beer.

T heard a pretty good story the other day in Birmingham that you might care for, but, of course, that is for you to judge said c. D. Allis, Jr., of Pinson.
 T was talking to young fellow who said that he had just come home from Cincinnati, where he had been working in a machine shop on intuition work. Every evening he and some of his friends were in the habit of stopping at a small German saloon and getting a glass of beer One evening they told the saloon Keeper. German, that they were busy making shells for the Germans and he was at once interested, and said that if they were making shells for the Germans that they were welcome to all the beer thae they wanted.
 ''They drank the Germans beer for about week and one evening the saloon keeper asked them if they were still making shells for the Germans, and after being told that they were, he wanted to know how they got the shells to the Germans. The answer he received was that that was easy. We sell them to the British army and they shoot them across the line" Needless to say this cut out the free beers"

This Should Be
 Red Letter Week

E1T7H HE War Savings campaign is full
 4 of patriotic enthusiasm and the great drive on the 2Sth of this month will mark a splendid achievement.
 The Hive wire" canvassers in Ala bama are preparing to put the state lover the top" once more; and county and school district leaders will have the earnest cooperation of men, women and children i'll general.
 Let's make this a red letter week. Those citizens who have already in- vested in War Savings Stamps will be appealed to to buy more.
 The slogan should be, Buy all you can" Because the War Savings securi- ties are issued in small denominations, many a liberal patriot may think he has done enough in subscribing for a dozen Baby Bonds. But individuals are privileged to buy thousand dol lars worth of these bonds.
 No matter how many Liberty Loan securities you may have purchased, buy up to the thousanddollar limit of the War Savings Stamps all you who have the means. But whether you be rich or poor, do your part in swell ing the fund needed to win the war.
 In these days of high wages few there be who cannot subscribe for the War Savings Stamps. And the more sacrifices one makes in order to help the government in this crisis, the more far-reaching the effect for good.
 Remember the slogan: Buy all you can"
