CLAYTON APPROVES
 BIRMINGHAM PLAN
 OF HANDLING CASES

Montgomery, June 5.--At the open ing of federal court here today Judge Henry D. Clayton paid a tribute to the memory of his brother, Col. Ber- tram T. Clayton. killed in action yes terday in France. and then continued with the court session.
 He pleased to go into service in France, said Judge Clayton. He would not have it otherwise, and would not have it otherwise. He died the death of a soldier. It has been suggested that the court recess at this time but my brother would say, You are on the firing line--go on hold the court I hate pro-Germans more than l hate the devil.
 T hate the German assassin in the fighting fields less than the pro-Ger- man in America. I hope the authori- ties will not dictate after the war that we shall be overzealous to be forgiving. for Germany must pay the penalty I believe when Christianity asks us to forgive our enemies it means we are first to lick them, then forgive.
 T approve. of the organization of the 1900 men formed in Birmingham with the indorsement of the depart ment of justice, to aid the govern ment in watching for the pro-Ger- man."

Washington. June 5.vAdministration opposition to any attempt to stop tue manufacture of beer and wine so long as the sale ot whisky is permitted, was made certain today with the announce ment that Food Administrator Hoover opposed such step because he believed the evils attendant upon putting the Ea- tion on a whisky. brandy and gin basis would far outweigh the small food sayings that would result.

Washington. June 5.-The German submarine raiders again have disclosed their po- sition. An announcement from the navy department tonight said the Norwegian steamer Eidsvold was sent to the bot tom at 4 o'clock yesterday aft ernoon 40 miles off the Vir- ginia capes. The entire crew was rescued today by a naval supply ship. Details of the en- counter are lacking.
 That is the last word received by the department showing the raiders posi- ton. In 30 hours after the attack on the Eidsvold, nothing has come to in- dicate where the Germans were or what they were about.
 1t is evident that the raiders had been moving steadily southward from the New Jersey coast Presumably they were eack yesterday in the region where they first began operations against coasuns schooners.
