 People of all ages came from every di- rection, the large majority of them carrying the beautiful silk flags of the color bearers. The Boy Scouts assem. bed early and assisted [ in handling the crowd. A large group of boys climbed upon a box car on u sldetrack, where they waited for the train to arrive The mayor and aldermen, and all of the city officials, were seen in the crowd. The ministers of the city were present as were the former men of Company D, whc had received their discharge
 Mothers, wives, fathers, sisters and brothers of the enlisted men mingled with the happy crowd Innumerable friends were there to welcome the boys home, and as familiar faces were seen in the great crowd by the men as they ar rived, greetings were exchanged.
 An oncoming storm prevented any ceremony or speech making to welcome the men, but they were, marched about two blocks with an escort of patriotic men and women, carrying huge flags of the allies, and the ''color bearer ban ners, and presented most inspiring sight

FIRE HAZARDS CRIMINAL

DiLahDO ARtNllAN AL
 "I am sorry, however, that 1 cannot say the same for the two, industrial schools. The conditions at the Alabama Industrial School for Boys are such as to bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of any state loving Alabamian. Two out of the three buildings are delap- idated and about to fall down, while the fire hazards as exist there are criminal. About 300 boys are cooped up there in woefully insanitary conditions.
 Conditions at the Industrial School foP Girls are little better. if any. and both institutions are misnomers. for while they are called industrial schools. there are no instructors there to teach either the boys or the girls the manual arts or other lessons that will fit them for usefulness in after life.
 'I do not blame these facts upon the management of either institution, but upon the people of the state, who have allowed them to be neglected. We must allow larger appropriations for these un- fortunates, but this cannot be done without more revenue. and I sincerely hope that these and similar facts will prevent any loyal Alabamlan from stand ing in the way of the financial legislation that will be asked of the next legislature. Alabama is rich state, and we cannot afford longer to conduct our state gov ernment in niggardly, penurious, penny wise and pound foolish way. We must go forward. in every respect. and espe- cially must we take better care of the young who have fallen by life's pathway from no fault of their own. The state owes them better opportunities

French public opinion is represent

PARIS FEARS NEW

Agitation Is Revived in Paris
to DenobiIize Army Of Ger.
many as Speedily as Posi-
ole to Bring Peace,
(By William Co0k.)
(spocial Wireless Dispatch to the


World and Albuquerque Journal)
Paris, Feb 16.-The warning said
to have been given by Marshal Foch
that Germany could muster 100000
men within three months against L.
10000. allied troops. has caused some
alarm and a certain amount of pes
simism in the French press. There
are also signs of apprehens. on in Of
fetal circles
Stephen Piehon, French minister of
foreign affairs when asked by for
eign correspondents about the Ger
man forces, said Il do not believe in
the resurrection of the German army,
because that army has never been
entirely dead. Germany has always
maintained powerful forces and,
though now weakened, she must be
very carefully watched"
In reply to another question as TO
whether there are only 500, 200 Ger
mans now under arms. Minister
Pichon expressed his belief emphatic
ally that the number s much greater.
lie also remarked that the allies have
not reached any decision in regard to
the rehabilitation of the entente
forces, and he said there has not been
any discussion regarding the occupa-
ton of parts of Germany other than
those now occupied. as a protective
measure against the renewal OF Ger
man aggression.
British Doubt German Strength
Members of the British delegation
show no sign of fear that Germany
VIII again attempt to face the allied
troops. In their view there IS no good
ground for the sensational reports
launched in Paris, to the effect that
Germany is considering the reorgani-
zatlon of her army and may refuse to
comply with conditions imposed by
the allies. 1t is thought such reports
nave been circulated to provoke dis
content among the people of the al
lies, but if that is the purpose it will
fail
In American official circles here
there is no evidence that any one is
disturbed by talk of German activi-
ties or by any of the exaggerated re-
ports that have been n circulation
American military advisers say there
Is no cause for alarm. for Germany
is absolutely down and out as mill
tary power. and that rumors of plans
to reorganize the military strength
have no foundation except possibly in
mistaken notion that the allies may
be bluffed by threats
The French press seems to be try
ing to incite fear by the assumption
that the members of the allied war
council do not appear 10 tic in ac-
cord in respect to the conditions to-
be imposed on Germany at the meet
ing OF Marshal I'och and the German
representatives.
There has doubtless been some di-
vergance in views in the council in
regard to the extension Of the armis-
tice. A French diplomat, thoroughly
acquainted with the attitude of the
council, SAYS everything will be-

members of the council has had to do
with German motives. II seems UNI

FEDERAL ROAD AID
MONEY LYING IDLE


Washington, Feb. 16.-Although
congress has appropriated S4S, 500 900
to assist the states in roadbuilding and
the government has approved 100
projects embracing a total Of 1863
miles, less than forty five miles of
highway have been constructed These
figures were made public tonight by
the department of labor as a part of
it's campaign to stimulate revival of
public works construction as an Off
set to unemployment,
Although federal aid for state roads
has been available since 1917, only
eight states report road projects in
volving federal aid completed the
statement said.
Admitting that road materials and
labor costs are high, the department
asserted that the expense to TIE states
will not be prohibitive because the
federal appropriations will cover one
half.
