Dignity Bill

LONDON, SATURDAY., Nov 30
Discussing plans for bringing to JUS
tice former Emperor William of
Germany. the Times asserts that IF
we had TO single out one culprit for
punishment he would be he per-
SON" The paper adds that the ar
gument that he cannot be punished
because there are others who also
are guilty cannot be admitted.
"By that argument" the Times
continues. "a felon caught in the act
would escap pc punishment because
there are other felons who have not
yet been brought to judgment. and
neither law nor common sense
would listen 10 such a plan.
Besides. il is not proposed TO
punish the kaiser alone. There are
others who Will be placed on trial.
but he is the chief because most
highly criminal.
The one argument against doing
what we can 10 bring the arch Grim
inal TO justice is that at present he
is a mean and contemplate figure
hiding his head from the ruin he
briught on his country, and that II
we prosecute him. we may some
what impart dignity TO him.
con the other hand. how
can respect for interna tional law in
the future be based on the immunity
OF the principal offender against its
provisions in the west?"

FOUR YANKEES
D|SPERSE MOB
IN LUXEMBOURG
ESCh Merchants 0verCharge

Population Wrecks
the Stores.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION, Dec. -Four
American soldiers dispersed a mob
OF thousands at Esh after it had
wrecked twenty-eight shops in re-
venge for overcharging of Ameri-
cans. Most of these establishments
were conducted by Germans. The
loss estimated at between four
million and seven million francs.
The trouble began when a sol
der was charged two francs for a
cake of chocolate ard the same
amount for an apple. The Luxem-
burgers, who long have protested
AGAINST high prices, resented the
over-charge of their "deliverers".
They entered the shop destroying its
contents.
Some one raised the cry TO wipe
out all German establishments and
the mob soon grew to thousands,
who began systematic destruction.
A department store owned by a
Holiander was wrecked and he re-
ported his loss TO his government.
He was the only foreigner, other
than Germans, whose property was
attacked.
The antl-German spirit was sup
erseded by ordinary mob enthusiasm
and the restriction finally was ex-
tended TO the shops Of Luxembourg
ers themselves
Two American Heutenants, who
arrived while the campaign Of de-
struction was at it's height, called
upon for enlisted men TO arm them
selves with broken boards and dis
persed the crowd. The soldiers
shouted TO the excited men and
women to go to their homes and
they dispersed quickly, accepting the
command without question.

PAY ROLL ROBBERS
 ARE STILL AT LARGE
Special Officers Are Bend ing Effort to Locate
 Bandits

Robbers who made away with the $l200 pay roll of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company from the express agent at large Special officers from the Sloss company, the Southern Express company and the Alabama Great Southern rail- road and the sheriff's office are expend- ing every effort to run down the cul- prits.
 As the robbery was committed in broad daylight and the only entrance to the space beneath the station is in plain view of the town proper and a house directly opposite and not over 30 yards dis tant, there is much speculation on the manner in which the thief or thieves op- erated.
 Officials state that it is evident they were familiar not only with the routine work of the station agent but also with the exact location of the express trunk, and the location of the money in the trunk The hole bored in the floor of the freight room in which the trunk was To- cated, was directly under the place in the trunk where the money was placed, as was also the smaller hole bored in the bottom of the trunk. No other con- tents of the trunk were taken or dis turbed
 The identity of the thief or thieves re- mains complete mystery this morn- ing, not even a single clue other than that which shows the thief to be fa- miliar with the office, the placing of the money, and having knowledge of this particular shipment being made, being possessed by those at work on the case

Warning Is Issued That
 There May Be Another
 Coal Shortage in Country

Washington. April 2S.-Further warning of another coal shortage in the east, even more serious than that of last winter un- less there is an early readjustment of traffic on eastern railroads, was given today by the. National Coal association
 This is the season of the year when the mines should be working at top speed to produce stocks for storage against the needs of next fall and winter" said the associations statement. The mines, how ever, are not working at a rate eveA ap- preaching top speed In the face of the heaviest demand for coal in the coun- try's history, the mines have been so hindered by insufficient car supply that they have made little, if any, headway over last years record-a record which fell 50,000 tons short Of meeting the na- tions demands.
 Ut would seem that the time has come for the war industries board who ever is running the war to decide upon a readjustnent of traffic over the east ern railroads so that coal may be han died in sufficient tonnage to take care of the industrial and domestic require ments of the eastern states

THE LITTLE FOXES'' TOPIC OF SERMON BY .DR. H. M. EDMONDS
Pastor Independent Church Speaks to Large Audience at Lyric on Nonessen-
 tials in Religion

Dr. H. NJ. Edmonds, of the IndtsJenden,1 Presbyterian church, was at his best last ] night when he addressed an audience which completely filled the Lyric. "Thes Little Foxes" was the topic of a sermon that so evidently struck the popular note. { Little things that mar. tend after awhile to tear down the whole structure oe life, and leave us under their do4 minion,' said pr. Edmonds in the course of his talk
 "on the other hand, we are not to live in fear and dread of having some now failed in doing or not doing some little thing that is going to make d ship wreck of our whole fife. While it is true that the great mass is made up of small elements, and that the outside. shows clearly what the inside cont. aims. it is the down inside that really copints.
 Dr. Edmonds made use of nlmg Der Of proverbs in common use to show hsow little things count as in the case of t4he straw that broke the camels back N He drew telling picture of the many straws that had preceded the last un-S doing straw. as applied to lifa
 The straw that shows which way the wind blows is another way of say- ing, as a man acts on the outside, so is his real self; the courtesy and kind- ness that wells up out of d nature so disposed tells it's own story
 Taking up number of the little tech- nicalities that men so frequently stun- ble over in their seeking of the right interpretation of the Bible, and make such a mountain of, Dr. Edmonds brushed them aside as nonessentials, and unw orthy of consideration. The big outstanding thing in life is, how do you stand in your relation to God and man; not were you baptized or sprinkled, or do you subscribe to this or that God is not in any sense a technical God he does not judge upon technicalities but entirely upon essentials. He goes down deep, and there are no small ifs and ands' about it." he said.
 closing the preacher said, When our boys come marching home, with the marks of Jesus Christ in their bodies anc people alike, away with these forms they are going to say to the preachers and nonessentiais, give us Jesus Christ as we have seen and walked with him on the battefield,' and unless we can come up to that demand, we as church, peo. pie and pastor, had better step down and out and not let others, who are equal to the task, take our places
 "The world has reached the stage of intolerance with form and technical ob- servances in religion. The world wants the real thing, God, as He is, not as tradition and opinions have made him9
 At the close of the service Owen Gill; lespy sang 'The Call of the Red Cross,sf his sympathetic rendition of a theme that is ever uppermost in the thoughts of the people, touched a responsive chord, Mrs Turner's violin obligato adding to the effectiveness of the solo.

Mrs. J. B. Hayden and
 Children Are Injured

L. X N. Train Strikes Automobile on Railroad Crossing and Occupants
 Are Seriously Hurt

Mrs J. B. Hayden of 1720 Fourteenth avenue, south, was possibly fatally in- jured, her three children painfully hurt, and the car. she was driving completely demolished when it was struck by a Louisville and Nashville train yesterday morning about 1O:3O o'clock at the Ave- nue F crossing
 Hospital authorities at the Birming- ham infirmary, where she was carried, stated last night that the injuries were very serious. The children received only slight injuries and were discharged from the hospital after having their wounds dressed.
 The car is completely wrecked, the force of the impact carrying it many feet, and the escape of all the occupants of the car from being Killed is miraculous.
