FLORENCE

Florence, January 25.-(SpeciaL)-J. w. Thinzey and company of Huntsville, have been awarded contract for the grad ing of Kirkman street in East Florence, in the vicinity of Muscle Shoals dam 2. This street lies between Huntsville road and Cole street, and when completed it will add greatly to the conveniences of vehicles going to and from the dam site The city has more street work than it can do with it's own forces and had to let contract for the building of this street.
 Harry l.. Hopkins, director of the south- ern division of the American Red Cross home service section, spent Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday in the Muscle Shoals district. This official has head quarters at New Orleans. On Tuesday afternoon he made an address at the rooms of the local Red Cross in Flor ence, and he also spent considerable time with the Red Cross workers at plant 2 and in Sheffield. He is in charge of the division that looks after the families ot soldiers and after the returning sol diers themselves. This reconstruction work is of equal importance as was the splendid war work done by this organi- zation.
 The Southern Methodist church has or- ganized campaign by which it expects to raise a fund of S35,000,000 for hom1 and foreign missions during the next five years. In furthernance of this move- ment, and as the initial one in the Flor ence district, a meeting was held on Wednesday of this week in the First Methodist church of Florence, at which there were delegates from practically every charge in the district. Three meet ings were held, morning, afternoon and at night. It was quite an interesting conference of good and patriotic church. men, whose chief purpose was to amelior- ate the hard conditions under which mill lions of people are laboring, in home as well as foreign lands. In a set of reso- lutions the Florence group iudorsed the great movement, Judge J. F. Koonce pre- siding over the meeting. The success Of the meeting was largely due to the re- markable activity and enthusiasm of -he presiding elder, Rev. Cumming.
 c. c. Morris of Brunswick, Cal, has ren ted the store in the Bliss block, for merly occupied by the International Ag- ricultural corporation, and will open a new jewelry store there. The store is being overha uled and will be handsomely finished in front with plate glass, tiled yestibule and otherwise. The work IS being done under the supervision of G. D.. Waller, architect.
 Work was begun this week on a new opera house building on Tennessee street which is to cost s50,000.

March Gives Reasons
 for Consolidation Plan
By Associated Prsss


 Washington, January 25.-Republican Leader Mann read to the House today a letter from General March explaining why the war department adopted the plan of demobilizing by disbanding units in- stead of by discharging soldiers in ac- cordance with the need of men in indus tries. The chief of staff said the latter plan had been discarded as impractical ble after consideration, because it would have involved the task of appraising the case of each individual soldier.
 "On the other hand he said, "disband- = ment of the complete military units could and was immediately begun. In this way the military situation was safeguarded and at the same time demoblization was accelerated"
 About So0,000 men and about 5000 off cers have been demobilized in the past six weeks. General March compared this with the British Rehabilitation and spoke or discontent in England because the dis charge of men had proceeded so much more expeditiousiy here.
