LETTERS TO EDITOR
The League of Nations

10 the Editor Of The Age-Herald: The people of this country are looking with intense interest towards the meet ing of the peace parliament and waiting tensely the maturing of plans for apply ing the idea of a league of nations. A large number of us, I suppose. have a conception, more or less vague. of what this implies and if any one of your read CTS has concrete plan of how this idea is to be applied. I am sure the balance of us would appreciate it very much if you would encourage him to submit it through your columns. I have crude idea of what such plans would involve and submit it here with
 1. Disarmament in the sense that the several states of the United States are not armed against each other. although each has it's militia subject to the state authorities
 g. An international congress whose members shall be elected by the popular vote of the several countries-the basis of representation to be ratio of popu- lation."
 8. An international court, to deal with International disputes and interpret the laws of the international congress.
 4. An international navy subject only to the international congress through it's appolntee, who shall have been admirala His duties shall be that of chief execu- tive in the sense that the President of the United States is a chief executive
 5. A naval reserve for each nat ation equal to 1 per cent of it's population, and sub ject to the call of the international con gress
 6. An assessment against all the nations of the league, based on their available resources, for the administration of the international congress, the international court and the international navy.
 '. A militia to be permitted each coun- try, aggregating not more than per cent of the population, subject to it's own government only.
 S. Artillery construction, naval construc- tion and munition plants to be allocated to each country of the league on the basis of it's representation in the navy.
 g. Representation. allocation, etc, to be revised every 10 years to meet new con ditions. Yours truly.

ALLIED ABOLITION
 OF BLOCKADE IS
 DECLARED ABSURD

London, November 29.-The Times says
 the absurd story which the Germans are reporting to have spread semi-officially that the entente probably will consider the abolition of the blockade is abso- lutely unfounded. The allies have not the slightest intention, the Times con- tines, of throwing aside their chief weap- on for insuring the signature of a Just peace and the performance of its con- ditions, particularly in the present chaotic state of Germany.
 l After quoting evidence in an endeavor to refute Dr. Solf's declaration that Ger many Is starving, the newspaper says that German statements on this subject require careful examination. slhen the truth has been ascertained, the allies and the United States will allow the Ger mans from time to time during the peace negotiations such food supplies as hu- manity dictates, but the blockade must
 remain in force until definite peace
 has been ratified. Thereafter it may be kept in abeyance as the chosen instru- ment of the league of nations for en- forcing it's decisions
 Concerning the German attempts to draw a distinction between the allies and the United States, the Times speaks of the futurity of these efforts. With re- gard to President Wilson's coming visit to Europe, the Times says the allies look upon this unprecedented event as a great landmark in the worlds his- tory They rejoice that the President is to make the visit first because they desire to show the United States by the reception they give the chief executive their sense of the immense debt they owe for Americas assistance, and, sec ond, because they are anxious to have the personal aid of President Wilson in the task before them.

Allies Reported to Have Offered Negotiations for
 Peace Early in Year

Copenhagen, November 29.-The Hague correspondent of the Vienna Neue Freie Presse says that unofficial representa- tives of France, and Great Britain last spring declared that their governments were prepared to initiate peace negotia- tions. The correspondent gives the fol- lowing terms as those which were ac- ceptable to the allies in return for ces- sation of hostilities:
 Evacuation of Belgium. Germany to pay two-thirds of the damage done in the kingdom the question of Alsace- Lorraine to be referred to a referendum; southern Tyrole to be ceded to Italy; Priest to be made an international port; Serbia Montenegro and Rumania to be evacuated and Germany's colonies to be returned.
 Baron Burian, then Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, says the correspond ent, was prepared to issue an invita- tion for peace negotiations, but Genera! Ludendorff, the German chief quarter master, intervened, saying:
 tLet us conquer" A day later, the correspondent adds, Ludendorff started an offensive

No man in the entire history of pugi- lism ever acquired such undying fame
 by so few ring achievements as did John

 fought only three championship battles,
 yet one of themAthe historic clash with Tow Sayers-has perpetuated his name in ring history and will make it live
 through the centuries to come. He gained more glory by that one fight-the first
 battle with the heavyweight champion
 ship of the world at staks any
 man has gained in the generations that
 have followed.
 Heenan. born in Troy. N. T., May 2

 was husky fellow and when he reached
 maturity he was feet inches tall
 weighed 190 pounds and had prodigious
 strength. His readiness to champion the
 weak and the oppressed while working
 in machinist's shop of the Pacific Mail
 Steamship company, in Benecia, caL earned for him friendship among thou
 sands who affecttonately called him The
 Benecia Boy"
 1 After time the machinists trade palled upon Heenan and he worked in ] the mines in the far west for three years | There his skill as a fighter was tested | frequently in bouts with bullies and so successful was he in every clash that his I friends insisted that he take up a pugi- l listfc career. Heenan was fond of the l nghting game and when his admirers | drew wonderful pictures of the fortune | he could make as ringman, Heenan | quit mining, went to San Francisco and i hurled a challenge at Yankee Sullivan, | then one of America's greatest ring war 1 riors. But Sullivan baked at meeting l the giant Heenan.
 | Heenan went to New York in 1857 and
 succeeded in getting a match with John
 Morrissey for $5000 side bet. The bat
 tie took place in Long Point Canada on October 20, 1858. Heenan suffered a bad injury to his hand in the first round
 but fought on gamely until the 11th when l he went down under the merciless bat tering of Morrissey.
 "The Benecia Boy later challenged Morrissey but Morrissey refused to give l him return match One fight with | Heenan seemed to satisfy Morrissey. l Heenan tried to make matches With
 other American ringmen--but to no avail | The great battle which The Benecia Boy had fought under the handicap

 The fight betwSsn the two men stands out as a ring classic. It was staged 5S years ago and even to this day is talked about in ring circles. There has always been great argument as to who was leading on points when the battle was broken up by "a crowd of toughs whe were Savers men. No two men seemed to have the same opinion concerning it.
 Not so long ago 1t was my fortune to come into possession of an English news paper that gave a round by-round de- scription of the great battle in which the heavyweight championship of the world was involved for the first time. At the time I quoted part of the descrip- tion in this column, Because many of the new readers of this column did not see it, and because no story of John. c. Heenan is complete without it, I shall repeat the vital parts of it in this col- umn tomorrow.

Taboo Imperial Jefferson"

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I would be loathe to measure swords under any circumstances with so gifted and erudite critic as my, good friend Col. D. B. Grace, but in the matter of imperial" Jefferson, I cannot refrain from suggesting that his argument sus- tains the point I made.
 He says that the meaning of imperial is supreme" while peer means equal He will readily admit that peerless means without an Cor having no) equal. ergo supreme
 We sing the grand old coronation hymn because we recognize the supreme soy- ereignty of God, but 1t is because the imperial Kaiser (with his me und GotD arrogated to himself the first or su- preme place in the universe. that l thought we should divorce the word inn perial from association with this grand old county.
 Some one has suggested to me since that the use of the imperial idea in con- nection with Jefferson county had worked to our great disadvantage in the legislative halls at Montgomery in the past, and that would be another cogent reason for dscontinuing it's use. Yours respectfully. JOHN w. SHELBY. Birmingham, November 26 1918.

DIXIE DIVISION ID

Fourth" Alabama of Rain bow Will Finally Be De- mobilized at Montgom-
 cry, According to Plan
By HUGH ". ROBERTS.

Washington, November 29.-(Special.) ) The Dixie division, composed chiefly of boys from Alabama, Georgia and Florida, will be demohilized at Camp Wheeler, according to statements of General March. chief of staff, today.
 General March declared that every divi- sion would be demobilized at the place wherein it was organized and trained. In respect to the Dixie. which is now on the seas, according to report, he ex- plained that the utilization of Texans Floridians might necessitate the demobi- lization of a certain integral part of the division in the Lone Star state.
 In this connection it is understood in Washington that the Dixie division Is the Dixie division only. in name. II is reported that many of the boys of the south were withdrawn from the division and were brigaded with other units, their places being taken by men from New York and Detroit. many of whom with difficulty spoke the English lam guage.
 A captain of one of the companies told the correspondent of The Age Her aid that when his first sergeant called the roll he could not recognize a sim gle individual by the name called.
 In the statement of the chief of staff, however, there is one bit of consolation. The Fourth Alabama, an integral part of the Rainbow division after it has been drilled in many states of the union will be disbanded in Montgomery.

ASK FOR FURTHER AID WITH M 'ADOO
 IN WARRIOR PLAN Bankhead Not Surprised Director General Did Not
 Commit Himself
SENATORS TO MEET
 HIM ON HIS RETURN
Belief Is Now General That Fate of Warrior River Development De- bends on Action in Next
 Thirty Days
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November 29-(Special) w. G. McAdoo. director general of railroads, on his unexpected trip to Birmingham failed to give satisfaction regarding the further development @et the Warrior river, according to telegrams received today by Senators Underwood and Bankhead from A. c. Crowder, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and others.
 It seems that the members of the com mittee which met the director general in Calera asked him directly if he would approve the recommendations of his assistant, G. A. Tomlinson, who recently inspected the Warrior and suggested that in addition to what had 4 been done the railroad administration expend $1,75O,000 in equipping the river with new barges and towboats. In re- ply, MT. McAdoo spoke in such manner that he conveyed no commitaL This left the committee under the impression that the director generol was not fav- orably disposed to the commercial proJ- ect respecting the Warrior
 Senator Bankhead, in reply to these telegrams, stated that he could offer no advice until MT. McAdoo was again in Washington and had been interviewed. The senator, however, asserted that the attitude of the director general was sim- ply the 1itude of man who had gone to see and refused to commit himself before sec Ing.
 MT. McAdoo, sometime ago, promised to fulfill the Warrior dream. provided Judge Prouty, of his staff, after hearing testimony, would so recommend. Judge Prouty heard the testimony and recom- mended that the project-~be carried out to the letter. MT. McAdoo thereupon suggested that Dr. Tomlinson make an inspection of the r'ver and declared that if Dr. Tomlinson declared the plan feasible he would immediately act. Dr. Tomlinson made his inspection and de- cared that if inlaAd waterway naviga- tion should be attempted anywhere, 1t should be attempted on the Warrior h. stead of immediately acting following the report of Dr. Tomlinson, the director general demanded more detailed in- formation.
 While pr. Tomlinson was preparing this supplementary report the director general left Washington on his present southern trip. Senator Bankhead does not think that the failure of MT. McAdoo to commit himself to the Birmingham delegation is especially important. He believes that the secretary having been informed by every agent he has dis patched to Alabama that the Warrior proposition was entirely feasible and having promised that he would act pro-

 Reserves Feature

Chicago, November 29.The most dis astrous season. from financial stand point, in the history of middle west foot ball will close tomorrow, with chief in- terest in the Micfngan-Ohio State con- test at Columbus, and the intersectional tilt between the University of Pittsburg and the Cleveland Naval reserves at Cleveland.
 The grand wind-up finds the <defeated Minnesota team facing the pommelled Chicago eleven at Chicago, and Iowa meeting Camp Dodge at Des Moines. The undefeated Great Lakes Naval train ing station will play Purdue.
 Although Illinois claims the western conference championship by virtue of victories over Iowa, Ohio State, Wiscon- sin and chicago, Michigan has entered a counter claim and must defeat Ohio State tomorrow to keep its slate clean. The Wolverines, however, will only have played two conference elevens this sea son Chicago and Ohio State-and critics recognize the championship claims of Illinois as the strongest.
