OBEY PRESIDENTS ORDERS

The speaker also emphasized the inl- portance of every man obeying the orders of our President and cease criticism of our government Applause punctuated this statement: There isn't a man in Birmingham who is competent to criti- cize because for reasons of military neces- sity he cannot know what is really be- ing done by our government in the prose cution of the war"
 Dr. Barnwel ventured the statement that not per cent of the people of Bir- mingham realize how big a part local in- dustries are playing in furnishing war supplies He referred to marine engines, war material and ship materials and shells being turned out by certain con cerns as the Hardie-Tynes Manufactur- ing company, Cruse Crawford Manufac- turinfg company, the Ensley plant and other manufa cturers in the district

He said that after recent speeches he has made he has noticed that the laborins men and the masses generally, even the rural sections are being aroused to the real meaning of the war and are respond ing accordingly

MAKE IT CLEAR

Tt must be made clear to everyone, as it is certainly clear to you gentlemen of the bar who are subjected to much reasoning" said pr. Barnwell, that it is conscription itself. the conscription of all the man power of the United States, all the brains 10o,000,000 strong, that will itself make unnecessary a great standing army of the United States after the war. Indeed, the greater the con scription, the quicker armies can be mob ilzed under the selective system, the sooner every ounce of energy and every man is thrown into this world conflict, the more certain will the Kaiser be over whelmed and autocracy crushed from the face of the earth.
 Then. can't yod see that the motive and the necessity for any greater Ameri- can army will have disappeared and the only military forces necessary to main tain would be for police purposes. That is the reason that the more quickly we get behind and accept conscription with out murmur the more certain will we be able to avoid universal military serv trn

 Should Be Investigated
EPISCOPAL MINISTER MAKES ADDRESSES
 TO BAR ASSOCIATION
No Man in Birmingham Competent to Criticize and They Should Obey the Orders of the
 President


 Certain influences which are striking at the conscription of our soldiers in the Birmingham district must be given at ten by all patriotic citizens. They are already danger and unless stopped they will grow as still greater obstacle to the unity of our nation in this crisis, '' said pr. Middleton S Barnwell to the law yers at their luncheon in the Civic associ- ation cafe yesterday. The speaker5s elo- quent appeal was applauded frequently by the members of the bar and the cafe patrons generally.
 The influences working against con scription were described by Dr. Barnwell as a war also against capital. He said that rumors are being persistently cir culated that conscription was being en- outraged by capital in order that an i'm mense standing army might be created which would be continued after the war as strong arm to fight the battle of the capitaliSts-the money powers.

WAR AND RELIGION.

A great revival of religious interest
Is one of the results of the war, Hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers have
had TO listen to and associate with
chaplains and have found most OF
them to be mighty human, redblooded
citizens. Many of the chaplains, IN
turn have learned lot about how TO
interest men they could not reach be-
fore. And thousands of ministers, here
at home, have gone into picture shows
and all sorts of public gatherings ana
proved that they could say a lot worm
hearing in four minutes and willing TO
quit when they got through, All those
things will help.
But the big serious consideration

HOOKING MAN IS PENALIzED
Insulted Red Cross Solicitor and By
Evidence Produced Was Con-
victed Of Bootieeging.

Ottumwa, Aug. 27.--As the result
of his own testimony at hearing
before u. S. Marshal Reed, August
Auhrweiller of Hooking is held in
the county Jail, under $1,000 bond.
Auhrweiller is charged with violat-
ing the Reed Amendment, in trans.
porting liquor into the state. 1t was
for an entirely different offense that
he was summoned for a hearing be
fore the federal officers, however.
For ordering a Red Cross solicitor
from his home, when she asked a
25-cent contribution and for making
insulting remarks to her, Marshal
Reed penalized Auhrweiller. by or
dering him to pay 800 to the Hook
ing Red Cross chapter.
During his testimony. the evidence
was obtained which led to his being
held on the liquor charge. The time
for the hearing has not been set.

FIGHTING FOREST FIRES.

The President has authorized
loan of one million dollars to the For
est Service for fire-fighting expenses,
to meet the serious emergency condi-
tons in the National Forests of the
Northwest and the Pacific Coast
States. The loan was made from the
special defense fund of fifty million
dollars placed at the disposal of the
President by Congress. 1t is recog'
nized that the protection of the Ma
tional forests is an important and es'
sential war activity.
Forestry officials regard the present
fire season in the Northwest as in
some ways the most serious with
which the government has ever had
to cope. Early drOuth high winds,
electrical storms, labor shortage, and
depletion of the regular protective
force as a result of the war have com
bined to make the fire conditions un'
precedently bad.
Necessity for resort to the Presiden'
tial fund is due to the fact that the
appropriation bill for the Department
of Agricultural for the current year
has not yet been passed.
