k'OR quarter century the Warrior river had it's dreamers. It was made navigable from Tuscaloosa to Cordova, and now is to be improved another fifty miles towards it's source
 The past two years w. D. Nesbett and Murray Brown and Key Miner and J. R. McWane and Charles Francis and a few others have dreamed of connecting Bl= mingham with the Warrior river, and that is soon to be done, Birmingam is to be put on the river, that is, corridor from Br- nlingham to the Warrior is to be opened and annexed to the city, It will be only half mile wide, but it makes of Birming- ham port of entry.
 Putting Birmingham on the Warrior gives her cheaper freight rates; gives her shippers the choice of rail and water routes.
 It is dream come true; a vision caught.
 What is the dream of Birmingham to- day? Forty years ago it was coal and iron; twenty years ago, steel; but recently, fab rication of steel and chemicals.
 What is it today?
 Birmingham has progressed almost to the limit on coal and steel. No longer can she depend solely upon these products to push her forward with the progressive cities.
 There must be something else. Atlanta has her office buildings and her boosters; Chattanooga her diversified small indus tries; Memphis her cotton and lumber; New Orleans her cotton and rice and sugar and lumber; Savannah her cotton and naval stores; Jacksonville her fruits and tourist; Birmingham iron and coal and steel
 Brmingham's coal and iron territory is being restricted. The time has come for. her citizens to cast about for something to add to coal and iron and steel.
 What dream of today is to be the reality of tomorrow? Who is the dreamer?
 Certainly not the agitator nor the dis turber, nor the malcontent
 Without dreamers the world would not progress; without dreamers Birmingham cannot continue to go forward
 Coal and iron and steel we have and make and will continue to mine and make if our friends at Montgomery don't load us down with burdensome tax bills But coal and iron and steel cannot alone make Birmingham into the great city that loca- tion and conditions and past history have worked together to make her.
 Whose name will stand out forty years from now for achievements as does that of the early developers of Birmingham? And what great industry will be associated with his name?
 Birmingham is just now at the critical stage of her existel.e. Coal cannot be mined as cheaply as twenty or ten or even five years ago, nor can iron be made at

AerObIane PrOpeHers
Must Be Bone Dry"
To Stand Shaining

Propellers OF aeroplanes such
as used in transatlantic flights
must be bone dry" in order to
stand the terrific strain to which
they are subjected. says the
American Forestry Magazine, in
a discussion OF the kinds of wood
that go into the makeup of flying
machines nowadays. Inasmuch as
the engines are geared to make
LOO revolutions a minute and
some as high as 1000 revolutions
a minute it is easily seen the pro-
pellers must be as near perfect as
humans can make them. At that.
the magazine points out. when
going at full speed the propellers

Spruce stands first in aeroplane
construction. Almost all the
frame work is spruce. Bamboo
may be used, in a supplementary
way, while metal tubing has been
tried, but does not give salts

women were thrown screaming into

I made no effort to get into a boat.

That filled me with horror. A man

MILITARY. CASTE IN
POWER IN GERMANY

ZURICH. May 25.-"Those who per-
sist in lying knowingly have no
rigor to complain of the peace terms,
when this right is the result of their
attitude" DR.. Richard Grelling de-
clared, yesterday. in discussing the
attitude of the German government
oward the treaty.
DR.. Greilling. who anonymously
wrote the celebrated books, "J'Ac-
cuse" and LIE Crime" which caused
a sensation early in the war, recently
returned from Munich. He criticized
the speeches by Count Brockorff-
RantZau at Versailles and Konstan-
tin Fehrenbach, at Berlin, in which
both refused to admit the RESPONSE
bility of Germany.
These men have not learned any
thing" he declared. Such decIara-
tions are false and have little weight.
Germans made a war to. conquer more
territory. The old regime had long
prepared it. The people believed it
was a war of defense. because they
were lied to. All this has been
proved"
Discussing the situation in Ger
many. DR.. Grelling made the follow
ing statement:
"A kind of omnipotent military
oligarchy is being formed. 1t is more
powerful than the Scheidemann gov
eminent which only remains in Of
fee with the support of the military
caste and mercenary troops. The
army created by the Scheidemann
government is well disciplined, well
fed. and well paid. The officers get
a fantastic pay and can do what they
like with their men. The govern
ment can no longer act as it chooses
1t would be impossible for the gov
eminent to do anything against the
will of the generals who tolerate the
present ministers for lack of more
suitable ones.
The situation in Germany is de-
veiOping in A dangerous way The
military caste is not yet thinking of
the restoration of the monarchy. but
who can say what will happen il il
perseveres in this course?"

excitement among a crowd that
quickly gathered in front OF the Dis

gathered in front OF the Eleventh
precinct as patrol wagons drove up
and the reserves from several pre-
cincts alighted.
When the police arrived at the
Eleventh precinct they were directed
to a house at Sixteenth and W streets
