An interesting feature of the pa- rade was the banner carried by Mrs. Young, in Mrs. J. c. Carmichaefs unit, as it was the first Red Cross banner to be taken to Europe by Americans.

By the decisive vote of 2s to IA. the
 state democratic executive committee
 yesterday refused to submit to the
 democratic voters of Alabama the
 question of ratifying the prohibition
 amendment to the federal constitu-
 tion.
 The battle between the submission
 and anti-submission forces began im-
 mediately upon the assembling of the
 committee nnd waged throughout the
 day and until within five minutes of
 adjournment when MT. Arrington's mo-
 tion to consider no further business
 but the Troy mayornlty contest was
 adopted by an overwhelming vote.
 E. w. Pettus of Selma started the fireworks when he read lengthy res
 olutios providing for the submission
 of the amendment to the voters at the
 primary election to be held on Au-
 gust IS.
 He offered the resolution as an
 amendment to a motion of w. D. Nes-
 bitt of Birmingham to proceed with
 the filling of the vacancies in the com mittees Borden Burr of Birmingham
 raised the point of order that MT. Pet tus' amendment was irrevalent and not germane to the subject matter in
 MT Nesbitts motion. MT Pettus tried to debate the question, but point of order, sustained by the chairman, cut him off. He appealed from the ruling of the chair, but lost by vote of 24 to 12.
 FIRST TEST OF STRENGTH nut uroc first StranRth of the two forces. and from that time on it was only question of reaching the final vote.
 There remained no doubt as to the ultimate outcome of the tight that had been in progress since the mem- bers of tfr committee began arr1V- ing in Birmingham Monday afternoon. The anti-submission forces had per fected an iron-bound organization that could not be shaken and going into the meeting with 21 committeeman pledged to vote as unit on all ques- tions pertaining to prohibition, 1t held to it's course and voted down all mo- tions, resolutions and amendments or fered by submissionists.
 Early yesterday morning the mem bers of the committee opposed to sub mission went into caucus in room Tl2 at the Tutwiler hotel and remained in conference until within few min utrs of noon, the hour designated Tor the committee to meet. When they emerged from the caucus word was passed along that victory had been clinched Twenty-one of the 37 mem bers present had entered into an agree ment to kill all efforts to put the ques- tion of ratifying the amendment up to the democratic voters of the state. LED LOSING FIGHT E. w. Pettus of Selma and Palmer Pillans of Mobile led the fight for the submissionists and right valiantly did they battle for their cause, but they could not but realize from the start that it was losing battle The ma chinery of the opposition had been oiled and tested and found to be in first-class running order.

Mosquito Fleet
Patrols New York
In 4O-MiIe Radius

Apart from the statement that
abundant protective measures against
submarine activity are in force along
the Atlantic coast officials identified
with the task of patrolling these waters
declined yesterday to give any in
formation that would show the actual
strength or the nature of the patrol.
Although it is assumed that U-boats
are not likely to make any offensive
against this city the waters about the
harbor entrance for q radius of forty
miles are patrolled by fleet of fast
motor boats and armed yachts.
Certain vessels under special pro-
lection were permitted to leave port,
but others were detained pending re-
ports from the coast patrol. No re-
strictions were put upon inbound YES
sells, fourteen of them having entered
the Narrows between sunrise and sun
set
1t was learned that a special guard
was provided for nearly two weeks
ago when an American vessel came in
from Mexico with the information that
Germans in q Mexican port were then
preparing for the reception of a fleet
of U-boats, news of whose departure
from European waters probably was
sent TO Mexico by wireless
When the vessel arrived here her
master made long report of informa-
ton that had come to the men of the
crew who had mingled with the Ger
mans in Mexico. These Teutons, who
had fed from the United States, boast
ed of the advent of submarines and
1t is generally believed that base in
Mexico has been established for the
undersea raiders.

Hundreds of Machines on
Patrol From Canada

Aided by Many
Navy Patrol Boats
Search Will Be Kept Up
Until Enemy Craft Are
Accounted For

Aeroplanes and hydroaeroplancs, by
the hundreds, all armed with U-boat
destroying depth bombs, from dawn to
dark yesterday searched for the Ger
man undersea boats which have been
raiding commerce off the Jersey coast.
The search was most intense around
New York, and the two entrances to
New York Harbor. The main one, at
Sandy Hook, and the other, through
fleets Of aircraft.
What was done around New York
and vicinity was repeated in a smaller
but equally effective scale all along
the coast. from Canada to the Keys.
The aeroplanes were supplemented in
their search by naval vessels.
Before dawn yesterday aeropianes
were pulled out of their hangers and
daylight found the aviators aloft

enemy aircraft launched from the u

shipping. were in readiness to go aloft
a. the sound of a raid warning.
Many of the aircraft until yesterday
were not equipped with bombing de-
vices, but all that went aloft then had
bombing devices. which had been put
in place during the night.
The aeroplanes patrolled in squad
rons around New York Harbor, Long
Island Sound and the Jersey coast,
and their patrolling extended from
FIVE to twenty miles out at sea.
The greatest activity was at Camp
Mills. Mineola, where fifty aeroplanes,
all armed with depth bombs, went into
the air before dawn. A smaller number
left the aviation fields at Rockaway
Point, Huntington. Governors Island
and Sandy Hook, while number of
dro-aeroplanes left their base at Bay
shore while the stars were still in the
sky.
The same feverish activity was dis
played at the aeroplane and hydro
aeroplane bases at New London, Nan
tucket, Montauk Point and at Langley
Field, Virginia, and all down the coast
This patrol will be continued until
J-boats are known to be driven from
American waters.

danger exists where gas bombs are
used, containing heavy gas that sinks
to the lowest possible places, and in
case large numbers of persons were
taking refuge underground this gas,
penetrating the shelters, would do
great damage.
"On account of the lack of anti-air-
craft guns, aeroplanes could fly very
low over the city and pick out the
most vulnerable points for attack AL
most every form of frightfulness con-
ceivable has already been used, whether
of great military Importance or not;
and it is not too much to expect that
an attack upon innocent civilians

Central Powers to do so.

board of governors of the Aero Club
of America, said that raid could be
carried out by airplanes set up on the
decks Of the Uboats.
The precautions taken by the au-
thorities in view of the proximity Of
the U-boats are very important on ac-
count of the possibility of sending a
submarine equipped with an airplane
which could be set up on it's decks or
launched for the purpose of flying over
the cities near the coast and dropping
explosives on the buildings This
would be practical with the larger type
of submarine using small fast speed
scouts or airplanes especially built for
this purpose.
Warning signals should be prepared
so that they would be understood by
all citizens. Many lives were lost in
London and Paris because the people
did not realize the Importance of the
instructions which we're issued. A new
