RETURNING HUNS
 SNUB NEW REGIME
As Speech Is Being Made by Molkenbuhr Regiment
 Marches Away

Berlin, Saturday, December 14-(By ths Associated Press. )-Soldiers of the Fifth infantry regiment of the guards divi- sion, who entered Berlin today, admin istered direct snub to Herr Molken- buhr, who is chairman of the soldiers section of the workmen's and soldiers executive council. It is difficult to find any other interpretation than that the troops from the front have little respect for the Berlin soldiers council
 The assembled troops were addressed by Lieutenant General Lequis former governor of Metz, who closed with d cheer for the fatherland in which the troops joined vociferously. Mokenbuhr then mounted the tribune and began reading a speech. whereupon the regi- ment stationed directly in front of the stand shouldered arms and started to- wards the Brandenburg gate with it's band playing
 Other regiments followed, passing with in 20 feet of where Molkenbuhr was still making a valiant effort to finish his speech. When he brought his address to an end the square was half empty ana his voice was drowned by the sound of marching feet and martial music with an occasional boot.
 This Is not the first incident indicating that soldieres from the front do not think highly of the council which in cludes few men direct from the firing line.

B|G GAINS MADE BY LUMBER BUSINESS
 DURING PAST YEAR
Enormous Business, How ever, Did Not Yield the Net Profits That
 Were Expected

Montgomery. December 15.(-SpeciaD
 Probably no other industry in Alabama
 made usch gains during the year about
 to close than that of the lumber busi-
 ness, including sawmills wholesale and
 retail shingles and other manufactured
 articles. But judging from reports of llumbermen in the state there were few
 industries to make less profit from their
 products, due to the maximum and min l limum price fixed by the government when the United States entered the
 world war.
 1 The war brought Alabama among the leading states so far as the lumber bus
 mess is concerned. Mobile and Bir-
 mingham during the year made rapid progress in this line, and along rail-
 roads there are scores of large and
 small lumber mills. Notwithstanding the fact that there were 47 concerns 1 to file incorporation papers with the secretary of state from January i, 1918, to the present time the authorized stock of one concern in 1917 totaled almost as much as all of the corpora 1 tions this year.
 | The records show that in 1917 the | Winconsin-Alab abama Lumber company. | financed by foreign capital started in business at Sylacauga and near vicinity. Its authorized capital stock was $1.000,- 1000, and this is one of the largest mills in the south. The concern oper- ates it's own railroads and is equipped with the latest labor saving inventions. l The authorized capital stock of the | fiz x-pa iC l 5SS.2 200. Since the United States de-
 clared war new concerns, with approx | imately $4,000000 authorized capital,
 nave come to the state.
 | Reports from lumbermen over the ! state indicate there has been a de- Ipressing effect from the sudden" term | nation of the war, but conditions are
 gradually becoming adjusted and soon
 public improvements will be started.
 Many citizens of central Alabama are
 planning immediately to start work on tnew homes and improvements, and it Is believed that before the month is over
 building operations will begin. Short
 age of labor still prevents this work. 1 Some of the largest lumber concerns 1 to be organized in the state in 1917,
 with authorized stock, follow:
 l flick Lumber company Eufaula, $75
 coo; Turner Lumber company, Mobile, l $20c,000; Stevens -Daly Lumber corn
 pany, Millby, Washington county, $a0,

pARTICULAR PERSON SERVICE

"The particular person service is not discontinued but the rate therefor is so modified as to prevent these abuses and compensate the telephone service in part for the extra expense of laboi and plant involved, and a charge of "a per cent of the station to station rate is made for such service, when the par ticular person is secured, and report charge of 25 per cent of the station ID station rate is made when the house or office telephone is obtained and his whereabouts or refusal to talk re- ported.
 Tn many large sections of the coun- try the smallest toll rate has been not less than IS cents. Uhder the new scheme for short distances the rates are reduced to cents and 10 cents, and for the cheapest form of service the person can talk five minutes as com pared with three minutes now, or iii some cases only two minutes or ona minute.

ALL EURQFE CLAIMS
 WILSON II BE GREAT LEADER OF ,uvRLD
Newspapers in Rome, Paris, Madrid and Elsewhere Have Nothing But
 Praise for Him

Paris, December 15-The friendliness of the welcome given President Wilson and the cordial tone of the speeches delivered at the luncheon in the palace of the Elysee are dwelt upon by the newspapers today. L'Homme Libre declares that Sat urday's manifestation was a triumphant welcome to a great man.
 The presence of President Wilson in France, says the Petit Journal, Is an as- surance of the practical and assidious cooperation of two great democracies in
 ideals
 "The speech of President Poincare," the Journal comments, twas not only a magnificent piece of oratory, but also set forth the problems of the peace con- ference, asserting that peace demands justice and security. The reply of Presi- dent Wilson was tactful.
 French public opinion will be particu- larly grateful to him for the tribute which he paid to our long sufferings. Justice, of which President Wilson has made himself the champion, will know how to safeguard the settlement of all accounts"
 President Wilson, in full agreement with all the allies, declares the Matin, wants a peace of justice and security The welcome given him by the people of Paris, it adds, voted confidence in him for the future, while thanking him for the past.
 The Petit Journal quotes President Wilson as making the following remark to General Pershing: 'I expected a cordial welcome, but I never could have dreamed of the sincere welcome Paris gave me. I am greatly pleased"

 After praising the selective service act Mir. McAdoo discussed the soldiers and sailors insurance bill saying that the insurance money will be paid direct to the benefciaries, and there will be no neces- sity of going to Congress, hat in hand, begging for charity
