BUSY SESSION OF CITY COMMISSION Visit of Civic Association Committee on Vice Con- ditions Failed to
 MaterialiZe

The request of the mail carriers of Birmingham to renumber all houses in Birmingham was yesterday refused by the city commission in view of the cost of such an undertaking. City En- gineer Julian Kendrick estimated the cost of the work. which would very likely consume the better part of two years before completion at between $I0,00o and $15.000. This amount, thu city felt unable to expend at this time.
 The city awarded the contract to take all old iron and tin away from the site of the burned Central High school building at Seventh avenue and Twenty fourth street to the Birming- nam Iron and Development company at S22 per ton.
 Commissioner Bcrruss' proposition .o motorize the garbage department part ly by the purchase of six Ford truck. at cost of between $500 and $900 each, was acted upon favorably, and the city purchasing agent authorized to make the purchase. The city ex- rects to receive enough money from the sale of the mules and wagons that tho trucks will displace to purchase tho trucks and to effect quite a saw inL in the operating expense. it beIng stated that two trucks will do the work of three wagons. and do away with one driver and the mule feed, which is $50 per head per mcntr..
 The arrival of the committee winch was to have appeared before the com mlssion with reference to further en- forcement of the city vice ordinances was looked for in vain, the committee failing to appear at either meeting of the commission
 The commission recessed long enough yesterday morning to issue to William C.. McAdoo. treasurer of the United States, a check for $40,000 of Liberty Loan bonds. the check being given to Colman Blach of the French army.

MARY GILLEN'S SONG TO BE PUBLISHED
 BY THE BOND SHOP

Mrs. Mary Gillen Boshwitz of Bes- semer, who has recently completed n sympathetic and exhaustive study of negro folk songs, will have made a permanent and worth while contribu- ton to art when II of her plantation melodies are to issue from the Bond sbop-Carrie Jacobs-Bond & Son--Chi- cago on or about the first of June. Tho words and tunes were obtained at first-hand on Alabama plantations ard the fact that Carrie Jacobs Bond sponsors the songs ensures ready and wide demand for them.
 The music was harmonized by Oliver Chalifoux. whose name will appear jointly with that of Mary Gillen (Mrs. Boshwitz) on each song. The collec- tion of II will be published with an artistically embellished cover. much in the style of Carrie Bonds songs. and 1t is understood that in anticipa- : tion of an unusual demand by music dealers throughout the country several of them will be issued separately.

ROPE ORDERED 'I have never had so much religion poured into me in my life as I have had here today by these two ministers, and want to say that the rope has been ordered, the bill paid, and the moose tied. and if Congress does not pass the right kind of law, we have an organiza tion that will take charge and that will sweep the Hun from our state" said Colonel Smith.
 When our young men are gone, then the old ones will step in, and when they are gone the women and children will fight. and when they are gone, the dead will rise Up and sweep the Germans into hell"
 TO HELL WITH GERMANS Frank Willis Barnett arose at this point and stated: T don't propose to let the Methodists and Episcopalians get ahead of me, and as Baptist preacher want to say To hell with the Ger mans
 T never have been as proud of Frank in my life as I am now.' said Mercer Barnett, who was presiding in the ab- sence of Field Marshal Rushton, flor that IS the best thing that he has ever said.''

"Parson' Barnwell fairly thrilled his audience, which consisted of 2es repre- sentative business men of Birmingham. His speech was declared to be the most patriotic, most eloquent and inspiring that has been delivered in Birmingham on the war. His hearers fairly rocked the room of the Tutwiler with applause, and chaos reigned for several moments following the conclusion of his address.
 CHANGES VIEWPOINT
 My point of view has changed since this war has been in progress. As a minister, I did not believe that it was right to hate any one. l mad been taught that it was wrong. used to say, fight the enemy for his deeds but to love him at the same time. But have reached a different conclusion now. I cannot see at this time how it is possible. knowing what I do of the German atrocities, to hate the deeds of those men without hat ing the hearts that they sprung from.
 America was buffe,ed on one cheek by Germany and she turned the other one. She was buffeted on that one, and then all scriptural law was fulfilled. And now, by God, we are going tn lick Ger many. I don't want to see any revolu- tion in Germany that will make them sue for peace-I want this war carried to the bitter end. right into the German empire, and I want to see those Ger mans made to stand and take the medi- cine that she made Belgium and other countries take, and is still ramming down their threats. Give them justice. just as they have given it to others. I want to see the bitterness of this war carried right to the doors of Pottsdam. Let them suffer what Belgium has sur- fered. You can't go into lions den and deal with them with kindness-you have got to kill them to make them be good. You can't appeal to these Ger mans through the virtue of our women, so I say kill them.
 AWAKE TO SITUATION
 'We are awake to the situation here. Tn Bessemer they handcuffed an alleged disloyal citizen to a post the other day, and to show how low they thought he was. they handcuffed him to the bottom of the post. And we have the number of every one of that kind here in Birming- ham, and if Congress does not pass a law that will deal with them properly, while we do not believe in mob law, we will take this matter in our own hands" ]"
 Dr. George Lang made splendid ad- dress prior to MT. Barnwell. and his re- marks reached a high level of patriot ism. He was interrupted with applause several times Dr. Lang is secretary of the state council of national defense.
 We have got to smash this German propaganda at home. We have it here in Alabama, plenty of 1t, and we will have to bring all of our power and sin-

SHORTAGE or WATER
TO Be RELIEVED.
Water Company VIII Have New
Equipment Working in rev Days
Pumping from New Wells.

Water from two new wells recently
sunk, one at the camp and one in
town, win shortly relieve the water
shortage at both places, according to
c. NJ. Cotton, PRECEDENT Of the United
Land 4 Water company. A c5nsid-
cradle amount Of new equipment or
dered some time ago is expectsd to ar
rive this week and will be installed at
once and put to work. This will end
the low water pressure for good.
The demand for water in town and
camp since the hot weather set in has
been tremendous, and it Is greatly to
the credit Of the company that they
have been able to keep up with the
demand as we'll as they have. The
pumps at present, Mr.. Cotton says,
are supplying about a million gallons
per day for the camp and a similar
amount for the town. This is about
equal to the amount used here in a
whole month before the camp came,
The shortage has never assumed
serious proportions, and the fire de-
partment has always managed to gel
enough pressure TO fight fires sue
cessfully, but it has been necessary
for residents to curtail the use OF
water on their lawns, something al
most unheard Of in former days,
Some difficulty has been experienced
W getting water from second story
faueets or from more than one faucet
at a time on the same service pipe.
