No longer will verdant
 shoots of bermuda grass grow in luxurious abandon between
 the rails of Birmingham s
 street car paths if the schedule
 ultimatum to be handed down today by the city fathers is
 rigidly enforced.
 No longer will the weary commuter
 "homeward plod his weary way" or
 cling with ape-like tenacity to the hanging straps of trolley, grooming
 beneath its seething, jostling cargo | of human freight, if the "commish"
 means what it says.
 The "skip-an-hour' system on all lines is doomed, according to Commissioner J. Ellis Brown, and street cars will cease to be a curiosity to the children Of Jones
 valley suburbanites. All talk of an arnlis- tice must be abandoned, saith J. Ellis,
 unless the traction company agrees to accept in toto the 27 points laid down in our schedule note. Otherwise we shall demand unconditional surrender of their franchise, an indemnity of 100 iron men for each violation of the treaty and the exile of guilty parties for half year in the municipal lodging house, as pro- vided for in section 1Zl6. code Of Ala bama, 1907.
 The commission has agreed on sched- ules for each line and will ratfy them at its morning session today. The outline of these schedules as given above shows

ALDR|CH RETURNS FROM WASHINGTON
 WITHOUT RESULTS
On Account of Influenza War Industries Board Held No Meeting,
 Many Being HI

T. H. Aldrich. regional advisor of the resources and conversions section of the war industries board returned yesterday from Washington whther he was called last week for conference with members of that board and advisors from the oth- CT 19 regions In the United States. Op account of the influenza epidemic only three or four of the advisors were ,r Washington so the conference was moi held.
 MT. Aldrich said that It rained and was cold all the time he was in Wash. ington, With the exception of Wednesda, morning when heavy frost mantIed the national capital.
 The hotels of Washington were onIy fairly filled while 1 was there" said Mir -Aldrich, and the street cars were moi crowded. So many people had the in. fluenza and consequently had to stay al home that Washington bore the appea r. arces of deserted village compared with other times when I was there
 Business seemed to be at stand. still Peace talk apparently has hac its effect and the people at the capita apparently were suffering from a relaxa ton from the strain under which they had worked ever since the war began But notwithstanding all that the people there do not believe that peace is com ing any time soon.''
 Ou his return to his office Mr. Al drich found a letter from a firm of cop per and brass dealers asking if he coulo put them in communication with foun dries making castings of that materia and stating that they had searched the country for a supply without finding it ..Nothing doing" replied Mir Aidrich "Ihe government controls the copper ano brass supply of the country and only those shops working on government con. tracts can get any of it.

War skies have frightened but purse strings must still tighten. We have thwarted the Kaiser's purpose of mak- ing America suburb of Berlin but we have not yet driven him back onto his own soil.
 Shortening of sweets over here means more fleets for over there. A little less fuel for us means a more victorious duel for our boys. Less grease over here-more ease over there.
 The more we connive, the harder they can drive and the more of our boys will arrive.
 Shortening our needs lengthens their needs A Thrift Stamp bought here means a drift tramp for the enemy there The Kaiser scorned our national bird--thought it was mead ow lark-now he covers before the clawing, screaming American eagle.
 To keep the Kaiser covering, keep our resources showering on the boys in the game
 Big guns and little guns are smash ing and tearing into the steel-ribbed autocracy that Germany has been building for 40 years But the thing that puts the punch into the boys be- hind those guns is the kind and amount of food and fitments and encourage ment we send them.
 The motive force that will win the war starts at the kitchen table and the "hand that rocks the cradle" is the hand that can knock the Kaiser behind the prison bars.
 One slice of bread wasted in every American family today wastes ship load of wheat.
 The strips of bacon that you can do without will help to put the Stars and Stripes over Berlin.
 Save every bit of the hog that you possibly can-we'n send the squeal to the Kaiser-he'll need it.
 To make the Kaiser quit we must turn him east and kick him in the west, but don't let up on the kick just because he's on the way-spoed him along-keep up the kick

MUSGROVE IS VERY
 INDIGNANT OVER
 CASE OF PAINTER
Says Annulling of Commis- sion Is Fight on HObson
 and Himself

s'It's a d. outrage; the work of cheap politicians and should receive a sweeping investigation from the highest author- ties," said l.. B. (Breck) Musgrove, the well known Jasper prohibitionist. in dis cussing the case of Phil Painter, editor of the Advance who was honorably dis charged from the chemical warIare branch of the army after having ob- tained first lieutenant's commission.
 s'This case is attracting not only state- wide attention, but the comment of the eastern press as well. The New York Times, the Philadelphia North Ameri- can, the Washington Post and other big papers have condemned the action Of Alabama's senators in using their in- fluence to annul the commission of a young mari physically and mentally qualified and anxious to serve his coun- try The latter publication has suggested that the man who kept Painter out of the army should go to France in his stead
 T am not yet in possession of com plete information regarding the case. but when I was in Washington short time ago I was told that Senator Bank head had arrayed senator UnderWOOd against Painter and had carried his pro- test against the issuance of Fainter s commission to the highest military au- thority. So far as I know the objection of these senators is based on purely po- litical grounds and no question as to Painters fitness to serve has been brought up.
 "There's cullud person in the fuel stack and the fight is not on Painter, but on Captain Hobson and myself, who have opposed Senator Bankhead and his son. Congressman Bankhead, in all their political campaigns
 There has been considerable specuia- tion here as to the causes for Painters discharge and the theory has been ad- yanced that his commission had never been actually signed, otherwise nothing short of court-martial would have an- nulled it.
 According to MT. Musgrove. Painter was notified while in Birmingham that his commission had been cancelled and hurried to Washington to investigate the matter. He had previously heen or dered to report to Adjutant General Har- ris for immediate assignment

WOMEN DID FINE WORK

While all of the counties have not yet sent in their final reports enough are in to show that the women of Ala bama materially contributed to the sue cess. of the Fourth Liberty Loan cam paign in the state.
 Mrs. Mary l. Hoskins, writing from Florence, says the women or Lauueruaie county were seriously hampered and that she was very i'll during the cam paign. but when the campaign endeu the results attained by them compared fayorably with that of any other com mittee. She added that under the lead ership of Mrs Jacobs the women Of Ala bama had not and never would 1all 10 back up the boys on the western front
 Mrs. l. W Watson who managed the campaign in Bbb county for the women' writes that despite the many onstacles' such as sickness, rain ana other thlhss the women of that county by nara Worb and a house e-to- house canvass, accom- nlished great deal She says that near ly every subscription taken by them was seoured from housekeepers, farmers preachers. merchants and negroes m q house-to-hous canvass which fepreseht- ed hard work throughout the campaign. She expressed her pleaure at haVihs nau the opportunity of working witn Mrs' Jacobs and thanked her TOT the courtesy and cOnSldeTaLlOll oHcWh 'A>'
 other members of the committee or tna' county.
 From Clarke county Mrs. Ada G. Welch wrote that many of the township chair men or members of their families were stricken with influenza. but committees worked on, selling $14.o00 of bonds, while Mrs. welch sold s3e.O0o. making total of s50,0OO for the county.
 Mrs Earle Cochran of Dekalb says she sold s1ol50 of bonds in Fort Payne on the last day of the campaign, which is considered fine record to make In a town of that size.
 Mrs. Jacobs expects to have complete reports from all counties in hand by the end of this week, and she is con- hdently predicting that they will show total close to ss,oOo,ooO for the women of Alabama:

MORT JORDAN'S DEATH

 MORT JORDAN'S DEATH
 ''September 50, lylS
 My Dear Brother-I received your letter of August 22, enclosing the newspaper clippings with reference to Mort Jordans death. I was greatly distressed to hear about poor Mort's death, but such things are the fortunes of war.
 Tt does seem hard, though, that such a splendid man and soldier as Mort was should be the one to fall victim. There have been several times during the last few weeks when l wouldn't have given very much for my chances of not being hit but I am thankful to say that so far. with the exception of being slightly "eassed,' about which l have already W Nritten you, l have been just far enough away from the bursting shells not to be hit by a piece of shrapnel and the ma chine gun bullets have missed me. al- though on numerous occasions they have whistled by me pretty close.
 T have been wanting to write to you ever since the last drive in which 1 par ticipated, which was the first drive launched solely by American troops and about which I know you have read. refer 70 the St. Mihiel one.
 "Weu. as you know. it was great success and 1 only wish l could see you in ,erscn to tell you all about It, at least what 1 know rom my own opSer- vation ard experience.
 ITO begin with, We marched all night for four nights preceding the attack in order to reach the sector we were to attack. The attack started in the morn ing about o'clock and for four hours before the time to leave the Jumping off trench there was an artillery bom- bardment. which they say up to that time had never been equalled since the war began. When you take into consideration the fact that our front covered about 50 miles, with thousands of heavy guns shooting constantly for four hours, you can probably imagine the din. Of course. 1t is impossible for me to write you in detail, 1t would take me too long-so the only thing further that I will say is that our bat talion reached it's objective, about three miles from whence we started. where we remained for couple of days dig ging in and entrenching at that point. and then making anSther advance of about two miles we reached our final objective, where we had to remain for a night and day before we were re- ,lieved. The last night was something fierce; we could not dig in for fear of making too much noise, so we had to stay out in the open woods all night with the Hun shells bursting all around
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-25
GLAD HE WAS IN IT

'Tn both of the attacks my battalion ca aptured several hundred prisoners, nu- merous machine guns, quite num- Der of their Austrian 77s and lots of supplies, ammunition and other mate rial Well, I certainly am glad that I was in this drive and wouldn't take anything for the experience. tell you, this is pretty hard life, and surely will be glad when it is all over and I can come back home. For in stance, when we reached here this morning about 8 o'clock l went to sleep in a real bed Tor the first time in over three weeks; the other nights were spent either on the ground with noth- ling whatever under me or on the floor with little straw under me and no sleep at all. We are not allowed to have our bedding rolls carried for there Iisn't sufficient transportation facilities for this purpose, so our cover has to be carried in packs on our backs.
 The nights here in France are pretty cold and it is mighty uncomfortable, especially when you have to stand in trench In mud up to your shoe tops with the rain wetting you to the skin, as was the case the night before the beginning of our last drive"
