 Judge Prouty set date for the rehear- ing and committee headed by Henry De- Bardeleben. together with Senator Bank head, Representatives Oliver and Gray and committees from Tuscaloosa, Mobile and New Orleans went on to Washing ton to present the matter to him. Two weeks ago Judge Prouty prepared his re- port, and without giving out its exaos terms informed the Alabama and New Orleans delegations that it was favora- ble.
 Secretary McAdoo was absent from Washington at the time on account of ill health, bu. the report was forwarded to him and his approval followed
 It is stated that additional locks and dams will be built and the channel deep ened so that an eight-foot stage of water may be available the year round
 Information comes from Washington that the railroad administration will take over the river at once and that eithsf Henry DeBardeleben of Birmingham or M. J. Sanders of New Orleans will be appointed as manager in charge of oper- ationS.

 porting coal and other heavy commod . ties from the Birmingham district 70 Mobile and other gulf and south Atlantic ports, Henry DeBardeleben and H. t4. Mccormack have given the subject spa cial attention and for years have worked hard to make it an accomplished fact. During all this time they have had to face the strong opposition of certain in- fluences, principally that of high rail road officials, but they are now about to realize the thing they have so long fought for
 MILLION TONS ANNUALLY
 1t Is estimated that 1000, 900 tons of coal can be floated down the Warrior river to Mobile, and the gulf ports annually, or approximately one-third of the tota. coal shipments in that direction. It has been demoE strated in the recent past that coal shipped by the river reaches the gulf in about half the time required for it's transportation by rail, and that the water rate is considerably less than the rail rate, notwithstanding the report Of the special committee of railroad officials to the contrary.
 No intimation is given in the dispatches from Washington as to the date when the railroad administration will take over the Warrior river, but the impres- sion prevails that it will be immediately.

The utilization of the Warrior river for the shipment of coal from the Bir- mingha,n district to Mobile, New Or leans and other cities along the gulf coast, has been urged for many years by coal operators and other manufacturers and business men of Birmingham. Tus- caloosa, Mobile and New Orleans. The government has spent several hundred thousand dollars in the last three or four decades in deepening the channel of the Warrior river, but it was not until with in the last two or three years that it was made navig&ble to the coal fields of this district
 COMPANY ORGANIZED
 When it was possible to send barges loaded with coal down the river a few years ago company was orga nized to operate a barge line, and up to shorl time ago several barges were regularly in use between the upper Warrior and Mobile. Recently. however, the operat- ing company disposed of several of its barges to foreign government, and, il is understood, was on a deal to sell the others when protests from interests lTi this district, Tuscaloosa. Mobile and NeN Orleans filed objections with the rail- road administration.
 Prior to the sale of the barges a spe- cial committee, consisting principally ot railroad officials, had been designated to investigate and report on the feast- bility of further improvement of the river by deepening the channel and building whnrves, tipples and other ia cilities for the expeditions handling of coal. This committee made an unfavor- able report, among other things stating that it would cost s4 ton to ship coal by river to gulf ports.
 PROTESTS BRING RESULTS
 The publication of this report brought forth protests from the Alabama and New Orleans interests that favored the utilization of the Warrior river, and upor representations made by them and Sec- ator Banknead, Representatives Oliver and Gray of Alabama, and New Or leans business interests, resulted in Sec retary McAdoo reopening the matter and giving the river advocates an oppor- tunity to present further information and statiAics and facts in connection with the scheme. Secretary McAdoo then re- ferred the matater to Judge Prouty for further hea ring, stating at the time that he would te guided by Judge Prouty

the session again was thrown into a

finally restored order by compromis-

WHAT WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS WILL DO
Propaganda From the Government
Tells What Little Savings VIII
DO for Soldiers

1t is the patriotic duty of every
citizen who Is in a position to do so
to invest in the War Savings and
Thrift Stamps and thereby help the
nation to win the war. The pur-
chase of even a 25-cent Thrift Stamn
is a definite contribution to this end.
War Savings and Thrift Stamps fos-
ter the habit of thrift in small ex-
pendtures, make it possible for near
ly everyone to purchase what are in
reality small government bonds, and
offer a unique opportunity to the
people at once to help their govern
ment and to economize conveniently
for the purchase of the best invest
ment securities in the world
A single Thrift Stamp will buy a
tent pole or five tent pins, a waist
belt or hat cord, shoe laces or identi-
fication tags; two will buy one trench
tool or pair of wooden gloves. Four
Thrift Stamps will buy two pairs of
canvas leggings; six will buy five
pairs of wooden socks or three suits
Of summer underwear; ~ will buy
a steel helmet
One War-Sayings Stamp will buy
100 cartridges or a cartridge belt or
a scabbard for bayonet; two will pur-
chase two pairs of wooden breeches
or two flannel shirts; two and
half Will buy a gas mask. Three War
Savings STAMPS will buy an overcoat
or two wooden service coats; three
and a half will buy three pairs of
WOODEN blankets four will buy
rifle
