MAReERY MAXWELL.

one of the six principals. with Amelita
Galli-Curei and Giacomo Rimini in
the cast. The following day In all Chi
cago papers the critics commended her
work most highly.
During the Chicago opera season
Miss Maxwell sang in ''Dinorah" sew
eral times and also in "Manon," 1.-THE
Jewels of the Madonna" "Lakme,"
francesca di Rimini" and Louise"
each time delighting the audience with
the unusual beauty and range of her
lyric soprano voice.
Nine. Galli-Curci Is most enthusiast
tic IN her praise of "the (Americaine
Mees) Maxwell's superb voice."
At the close of the Chicago season,
no one was surprised to find Miss Max
well among those chosen for the East
ern tour of the Chicago Grand Opera
company. The recognition given her
in the East was no less than she re-
ceived in her home city. The New York
Morning Telegraph used large pic
ture of her with an interesting feature
story the morning after her first APP
pearance and the Evening Mail, in
Saturday edition, published her photo
graph in a group with Geraldine Far
rar; Ricardo Stracciari and Gordon
Key.
Miss Maxwell is a pleasing, whole
hearted American girl. All her spare
minutes she spends In knitting and at
present she says one of her great am
billions is to go to France and sing for
the wounded soldiers.

Appropriate Name.

It is entirely proper that the
worlds most southern city, located in
forthest TERRA del Fuego, in latitude
SIS, should bear a name sounding as
much like winter wind as UshuaIa.
There is also an appropriate sugges-
ton of wailing in the word, and the
penal settlement of Argentina is 10
Gated there.

 JUBILEE MEETING A THRILLER.
 The jubilee meeting held Thursday night at the Tutwiler was most signifi- cant. Speakers representing the demo- cratic party in this state, the educa- tional forces, the suffrage association and the national suffrage party, meet ing on common ground and rejoicing in the first triumphant spirit in the en- franohisement of the women of Alabama, oould not help but thrill the large throng in the hall.
 The Susan B. Anthony amendment fight is dramatic episode in America s progress toward democracy. Fought for by women ready to sacrifice all, pleaded for by such statesmen as Lin- con and Wilson, hattering its weary self against an indifferent public wall for 40 years. to be passed at last in the exalted magic of a new earnestness and care for democracy found in the sacri- flee of war. it seemed at once a thrill- ing thing and a fine thing to be part of such a. fisht and a part of such a vic- tory as was rejoiced in at the jubilee meeting Thursday night.

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
'o the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The ASe-Herald:
 The suffragists in Birmingham have read with much interest the remarks of Ned Brace in Sundays Age Herald concerning Woman Suffrage and the Presidents Part in the Fight" We feel much pleased at the friendly spirit which animates the article and are grateful to Ned Brace for having given us so much space and kindly mention
 Although his article was most lucid and fair-minded as a whole, one para graph caught our attention as being sus-
 eral public, which already labors under
 misapprehension as to the true mean
 ing and practical working out of the
 federal suffrage amendment. In the
 paragraph to which we refer, Ned Brace says:
 "The wording of the amendment as passed by the House is unfortunate in that Congress shall have full power in enforcing the rights of the Women to vote in the several states. It gives to Congress the right to abolish the several state laws providing educational and property qualifications for the exercise 1 of the ballot. But the hope is that Congress will not exercise this privi- | lege. and will not interfere with the l laws of the several states providing the qualifications for voters"
 l The exact wording of the federal suf- frage amendment. to which the above | paragraph has reference, is as follows: ! Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-01-20

or abridged by the United States or byI any state on account of sex.
 Section ?. The Congress shall have power by appropriate legislation. to en- force the provisions of this article"
 It will be seen. by a careful and lit- eral interpretation of these words. that the amendment as passed by the United States House of Representatives is negative one. It does not provide that all women must be enfranchised. but that they shall not be disfranchised on account of sex. They may be denied the ballot for any other constitutional and conceivable reason that may occur to the lawmakers, because they are illit- crate because they are not taxpayers, because of anything you like. The only provision made by this amendment is that they shall not be denied the vote because they are women. It is obvious, therefore, that the two present qualifica- tions which now safeguard the male franchise in Alabama and in other southern states-the educational and property qualifications-wil apply with equal force to the female franchise, after the federal amendment has been passed by the Senate and ratified by at least S6 of the state legislatures. Just as at present. illiterate nontaXpaying male citizens (white and black) are de- nied the vote in Alabama, so under the
 
 will be denied to .illiterate nontaXpayng female citizens (both white and black). Tn no way will the existing franchise qualpifications of any state be super
 seded, overriden or altered by the fed
 eral amendment. except in the striking out, where it exists, of the word male
 as a necessary qualification for 8 voter. And in no sense does the amendment give to Congress the right to abolish the several state laws providing educa. tional and property qualifications for the exercise of the ballot" On the contrary the same qualifications which now ap- ply to male voters will apply with cqua' force to female voters
 Thus does the bugaboo of the ignorant negro woman voter. which is viewed with alarm, by so many southern poll | ticians, vanish when the wording of the | amendment is correctly construed. As l for section ? which gives to Congress 1 the power to enforce the provisions oi the amendment, it is a clause which is automatically attached to all amend ments to the federal constitution, and l has no unusual or special significance in i the case of the suffrage amendment. Il l applies only to section 1, and merely provides that Congress may, by appro- priate legislation, see to it that no citi- zen of the United States or of any state

Motor Industry in 1918

Harold W. Slauson, in Beslies.
 The trouble with the automobile bus mess has been psychological rather than actual It was fear; the industry feared the liberty loans, the draft and other evidences of a well-prosecuted war and their effect on passenger car sales; it feared the attitude of our lawmakers toward this absolute ne- cessity which for years had been mis- named "pleasure' Gar: 1t feared tho reports of a restriction of shipments of materials for passenger ear pur- poses; and it feared the rumors of a curtailment in the supply of gasoline to be used as fuel for such vehicles.
 The manufacturers are prepared to make cars and the public are pre- pared to buy them. but what will hap pen if passenger car production is seri- ously curtailed through the comman- deering of the plants for war pur- poses? We do not believe that will oc- cur, but even though it should, the industry is so vast that scarcely more than 30 or 40 per cent of the capacity of each factory need be utilized for the production of all the munitions that the government could require. Furthermore, as has been pointed out
 in previous article, such govern ment action would not prove disas- trous to the industry for it would mean that the vast plants and organ
 zations would be kept busy with work on which the government would allow fair profit and on business which comes without being sought-that is. without a large sales expense and oth- CT overhead charges which interfere seriously with the attainment of the desired results on the proper side ot the balance sheet of so many indus tries.

French Front, December 1o-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press.) The Zeppelin bogey has been laid. or. at least, the major part of its terrors have vanished, since reliable information shows the reported existence in Ger many of great armadas of these aerial dreadnaughts to have been absolutely mythical Altogether only just over 100 of these dirigibles have been constructed since the late Count Zeppelin launched the first one over Lake Constance.
 Up to August, 1914, the total of those built had numbered 25; since hostilities began the two great works at Friedrich shafen and Staaken have constructed between 75 and 80, probably nearer the lower than the higher figure. This means an average of two per month. As the mean period for the building of Zep- pelin is known with certainty to be two months, there must always have been four new airships on the stocks at the same time.
 Most of the Zeppelins launched into the air before the war came to grief, thus leaving in the service of the Ger man army and navy fleet of less than a dozen when fighting began. Since then nearly all the dirigibles, old and new, have been handed over to the Ger man navy, which has used them for many kinds of work, such as bombarding expeditions, protection of mine layers and small torpedo boats at sea, chasing submarines, searching for mine fields and last and most important, recon noitering for the high seas fleet.
 Disaster has attended the flight ox- al overwhelming majority of these ali

French Front, December 10.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press.)-Of-
 ficia1 recognition has been given by the German government to the practice oi German troops in France and Belgium or laying their hands on everything valuable they find in the houses and on the farms belonging to the civilians who have been deported from the invaded country to various parts of Germany to work Tor their conquerors. There has been estab- lished in Berlin war booty office,
 with depots at 20 Schoeneberger ufer, to
 which all such loot may be sent for sale
 Here connoisseurs may make selections
 from large quantities of ancient furniture
 pictures, fine porcelain, rare tapestries,
 jewelry, clocks and even clothing. Wheth-
 CT the price paid goes to the German government or to the officer or soldier
 who forwarded the booty is not aseer- tainable here.
 In the great sheds of the depot are also displayed for sale farm wagons, agri- cultural implements and other machinery and materials of almost every kind col lected from the devastated districts of Belgium and France. Official sales clerks appointed by the government are in charge. but. in spite of advertisements ot sales, purchasers are not always found, and then whole lots of goods are offered ! to charitable organizations or patriotic societies.
 | Advertisements are inserted even in | newspapers of foreign neutral countries I calling attention to the opportunities of | fered at the war booty office for obtain l ing bargains in useful goods and mate- rials and in souvenirs of the world war. French steel helmets are one of the most frequent attractions featured, and the government for fee of 9 marks offers | to supply with them a certificate of the authenticity of the trophy. Even in Ger many. however, the public has become l skeptical, it is said. as to the origin of 1 any of the war relics offered for sale 1 and the belief is gaining ground that
