OPPOSITION STRONG
 TO GENERAL NOBLE

Washington, January 19.-(Special. )-The indications are that if Robert l.. Noble, laha.maian with rank of colonel in the regular military establishment, attains promotion to the rank of brigadier gen. eral in the medical department, to which the President has nominated him, the chief executive will be forced to send his name to the Senate second time.
 This case has been reported in The Age-Herald. There is no opposition to Noble. There is great opposition, how ever, to the Presidents desire to pro- mote him over the heads of 11O other medical officers. Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military committee, de- clares he has no opposition to Noble, but admits that in his committee, where the Presidents nomination reposes, opposi- tion is strong. Virginia senators, Martin and Swanson, are especially bitter in their opposition, for it was the general suppo- sition that had promotions been made ac- cording to priority of rank, the post of brigadier would have been given Col. Randolph Kean of Virginia.
 From what Senator Chamberlain had to say, it is judged that the committee will not report the nomination to the Senate before March 4. In that event, it will be incumbent on the President to nominate Colonel Noble a second time, or send in the name of some other man. Should the President insist that the promotion be made he would precipitate fight in the Senate as bitter as that which followed the promotion of his personal physician, Dr. Grayson, to be rear admiral, over the heads of several hundred other men.
 pr. Noble is from Anniston. While Gen. eral Gorgas was surgeon general of the army, he rendered conspicuous service as prime assistant to that other Alabamian. IL was in recognition of that service that the President nominated him to be a brigadier general in the regular estab- lishment. In the emergency or temporary establishment, he acquired the rank of major general but with peace restored he will resume the rank of colonel

ALMON WILL REPLY
 TO LONGWORTH

Washington, January 19-(SpeciaL) Representative E. B. Almon has been chosen by his Alabama associates to reply to the attack of Representative Nicholas Longworth against the con- tinuation and completion of the gov ernments projects at Muscle Shoals.
 Longworth has not completed his att tack. He has asked for information from the war department in the form of answers to 55 additional questions When he receives his information and disgorges it, Representative Almon will make reply. His effort is expected to be notable one, one so convincing as entirely to put Longworth 'out of busi- ness"
 Senator Bankhead states belief that the republicans, when in control off Congress, will not be able to terminate Muscle Shoals undertakings.

BRINGS MESSAGE
 TO "WATCH GERMANY"

Washington, January 19. - Especially Philippe Bunau-Varilla, a colonel in the French army who gave a leg for free dom at Verdun who is part owner of the Paris newspaper, Le Matin; who, while a major in the French army, represented the Panama government in it's dealings with the United States respecting the digging of the Panama canal, has come to Washington with this message, del- ivered to newspaper correspondents. Watch Germany"
 Germany is still potentially dangerous. She is still capable of disturbing the peace of the world. She is still able to menace the liberties of mankind. She must be watched with care and the vigil lance of the associated governments must never be relaxed
 This was what he said. He added: DO not be deceived in believing the menace was destroyed when the armistice was signed or even when Gerr;any abjectly surrendered it's fleet off fae coast of Scotland. It still exists ank must be met and effectually dealth with by the as- sociated governments.
 An example must be made of the men who brought on the war. It is absolutely necessary that the Kaiser and his savage and barbarian associates be promptly punished. court should be established to try them. Evidence is not lacking and justice demands their execution
 The establishment of government by the people in Berlin is regarded by the distinguished Frenchman as "horrid joke"
 Look at the secularization of the Teu- tonic Knights in 1525. he said made under pressure of the Poles, by the grand master Albert Won Brandenburg. This was the first camouflage. Look at the creation of the united sovereignty for both Brandenburg and the dukedom of Prussia in 1619. This was the second cam ouflage. The third was the creation of the empire of Germany in 1871. The fourth was the creation of the democratic gov ernment in 1918. Consider these facts and you will understand where lies the oc- cult power to which Schleiermacher re- ferred when he said after the dismem- berment of Prussia by Napoleon that Prussia is always alive and it's occult power will ever remain untouched"

COLUMBUS, MISS.

Columbus, Miss, January 19.-(Special) l J. c. Sanders, engine foreman in the local yards of the Southern railway, was held up last night and relieved of S02 in cash and a diamond pin valued at
 $500, and within few hours Otis Rich ardson and Willim Perkins, two well
 known white men, had been arrested and had confessed the crime.
 The prompt arrest of the men resuse from efficient work on the part of Po- licemen M. F. Cook and J. D. Lawrence, who upon interviewing Mir. Sanders, ascertained that while the two robbers had worn masks he recognized Rich ardson from his voice. The officers then
 went to the home of Richardson. who re- sides at 2OO7 College street, and upon searching his clothes found $101, just half the sum that had been stolen, in , one of his pockets. After this evidence l had been secured he confessed and stated that the other man who partici- pated in the hold-up was Perkins, who he said, was preparing to take train l which leaves the city about a. m. The l officers hastened to the depot and nabbed 1 their man just as he was about to board | the train. The two men were tried be- fore Mayor McClanhan today, and each was placed under bond in the sum oi i $500 to await the action of the grand | jury.

The report made by the department of agriculture

ready held by the general public the injustice
of meat prices
It develops that there shortage of meat

cattle and sheep SO far production goes, beef
and lamb might almost be called a drug the
let. The packers evidently regard it so. for they
have lowered prices paid for livestock about 20
per cent since last March.
This should result, of course, in corresponding
reduction to the consumer. There has been such
reduction. Retail prices do not TO have been
lowered anywhere than 10 per cent. In most
communities the prices high ever, and in
some cases they have actually risen.
Wholesale prices have gone down but retail prices
remain at about the high level. 1t is charged
that the retailers prohteers in this in
stance than the packers their prices being in no
sense justified by the wholesale quotations.
The packers and cattle-men complain that the pub
lie is not eating enough meat How the public

AERIAL INTOXICATION.

Many people say that men must have some sort of
artificial exhilaration and if they get alcohol
they will take dope. But how about aviation?
Many aviatcrs have written of the joys Of sailing
far above the earth. striking account is given by
Major R. w Schroeder, in Popular Mechanics, OF a
fight in which he ascended nearly six miles He had
the usual pleasures of soaring upward for the first
two or three miles and then came unusual
ones.
The sun grew strangely dim He felt light headed
and began talking to himself Then he took few
vhiffs from the oxygen tank-fiers have to carry
oxygen with them when they rise TO great heights
because there is not enough Of it in the thin air
LAS soon as 1 started to inhale the oxygen the

with it, was no longer hungry. and the day seemed
to be a most beautiful one I field like singing with
sheer JOY as gazed about through the small por-
ton OF my goggies which had frost due drop
Of oil which had splashed on them from the motor.

I'O3TOFFICE SAFE BLOWN.

Springfield. S. c., Oct. 23.--The
postolfice safe at this place was
blown open during the early hours
OF yesterday morning and the con-
tents, consisting Of war savings
stamps, postage stamps and cur
rcncy, amounting to approximately
5000. was stolen. The postoffIce Is
located in the old bank building. in
the heart Of the town The robbers
made an easy entry by breaking the
glass door OF the building and ap-
parently disregarding everything
else. they applied themselves to the
small iron safe containing the
stamps and currency. After sealing
the openings surrounding the door,
they applied a fuse near the bottom
OF the safe, which blew the door into
the shape Of trampled hat The
town employs night watchman
who was on duty. but. like other
citizens who heard the dctonation,
he thought it was some wakeful citi-
zen shooting at a cat. This is the
first robbery Of this nature that has
ever occurred in this place. There
is absolutely no clew to the guilty
parties.

| was a sudden stop when the car
struck the sand pile, and the occu-
pants were thrown forward with no
small force. With Cantrell were Ed.
Snoad and Robert Rutledge, both Of
whom live near Walhalla. Snead was
sitting IN front with Cantrell, and
when he was thrown forward his face
struck against the windshield, which
was so turned that the iron frame
Of the shield made a deep cash on
Snead's nose, the bone being crushed
in so that the shield bar also struck
his eyes. Neither eye, however, Is Sc
riously affected. When physicians
were called to attend the young man
1T was found that the bridge of
Snead's nose was crushed to such ex-
tent that his breathing was being
done mainly at the bridge OF the
nose. Last reports from young Snead
were to the effect that he was getting
along pretty we'll, though he was,
naturally, suffering great deal at
times. The policemen who made ar
rests after the excitement incident to
looking after Snead had usbsided
stated that while they could not say
that any OF the party were drunk,
still there was that unmistakable
scent that always attends the un-
corking OF aromatic spirits Of the
essence Of corn" We would like once
again to observe, for the benefit Of
our young people who drive automo-
biles, that liquor and gasoline are
two very dangerous liquids,and when
used at the same time, there is al
most sure to be some misfortune.
