ALLEN SPEAKS Al
 LAWYERS LUNCHEON
Sedition and Es oiona0n Aet5 as Explained by Atom Y
 Gregory Discussed

Nassar l.. Allen yesterday al the law
 yers' luncheon at the Civic association. in
 discussing the recent interview given out
 by Attorney General Gregory, gave q
 brief statement of the conditions in refer
 ence to the authority of the federal gov
 ernment in dealing with acts of es- pionage and sedfton.
 MT, Allen drew attention to the fact
 that shortly after the close of the Civil
 war Congress repealed all sedition acts. evidently thereby seeking to restore good ! feeling in the south and in the border states, where feeling had been high, leav-
 ing the average citizen free to "cuss'
 the government The result was that when this country entered the war; said Mir. Allen. the
 government found itself with practically no statutes in force by which to punish the mischef-maker who desired to him
 der interfere and discourage The first efforts of the attorney general to secure the enactment of a strong statute were rendered almost ineffective by reason of fierce opposition in Congress and upon the part of considerable section of the press. Finally what was known as the espionage act was passed by Congress.
 This act improved the situation some what, but was limited in effect to utter ances and efforts in the presence of or upon men subject to the draft.
 Recently real sedition act has been enacted by Congress and approved by the President This act is broad in its scope and is armed with teeth and l claws so that the government is now prepared to deal vigorously. promptly and sternly with any man who flinders war operations in any way, who dscourages ] service for the government who seeks to lend aid and comfort to the enemy. or
 who asserts opposition to our form of government
 l The situation IS now clarified. with
 abundant power ayilable, and it remains | for good citizens to promptly hand over any man who offends, thus securing the preservation of our civilization"

HOOPER OF
 TENNESSEE MAKES
 LOCAL REALTY DEAL
Disposes of so Lots at Bev- erly Station to the Estes Agency-Consideration
 Not Made Public

Probably the largest real estate trans action consummated in Birmingham in recent months has just been concluded in
 the purchase of so unimproved lots in
 West End by Claude Estes, Of the Estes
 agency, in the Woodward building. Mir,
 Estes bought the lots of former Governor
 Ben w. Hooper of Newport, Tenn, who had owned them for several years. The
 consideration was not made public. Governor Hooper purchased about 15t lots at West End a number of years ago and later auctioned off all but the so he has just sold to MT. Estes.
 Governor Hooper has visited Birming' ham several times in the interest of his realty holdings, his last visit being ir l 1916 Since that time he was defeated fol 1 the United States Senate in Tennessee | by Kenneth D.

WORDS OF PRAISE
 FOR BOY SCOUTS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I want to inform you and the people of this great city that you have the great est body of Boy Scouts" of any city in this whole country. I travel all the states and Canada, and I have never seen their equal for the good work they have done and are doing for the people of your city and our country,
 am a travelling man and have been here three weeks, and when the third Liberty Loan was on these little fellows worked like heroes. They never over looked anybody or anything to make your city 'go over the top" and these little men put many thousands of dol lars to your credit this city would never have got if it had not been for these lit- tie men.
 You have the best organization Of Scouts in the United States and I know l can say truthfully they are the most polite, well-mannered boys I ever talked to and are heart and soul for the good cause they are working for. l also mo- ticed their police work during the line of march, and they had the crowd at bay from start to finish of the parade and no police could have kept better order than those little men. The people Of Blrmlng- ham certainly ought to appreciate these little fellows in their good work When I leave here on my trip to Canada l cer- tainly will boost" the Scouts of Bir- mingham, as l am an old Indian scout myself, under General Miles, in the Sew enth cavalry, from 1887 to 1890. when the Indians of our country were the worst to deal with of our time.
 I love a soldier, and it's a grand lesson to any man the way the Boy Scout or ganization has come to the front. It's wonderful to see what the boys have done and what nice little men they are. You can talk to them in every city you gu and you will find them polite clean and up and doing.
 The people ought to contribute more to these little men and my pocketbook is always open to help the Scouts any time and any place, and I hope the people of your city and other cities will appre- ciate the work of these little men a great deal more.
 Another nice thing of this organization is that money cuts no figure in their standing in rank. A poor boy is as good as a rich boy. A bad boy is made good bv the examples the other boys who are no,;te and good. So let us take off our hats to the Boy Scouts of Birmingham, and let's hope they keep up their good work. Very truly,
