 WITH K|WAM|ANS President Barnett Urges All Members to Bring Keenest Competitor to Luncheon

Kiwanians are going to have Vlsltor each Tuesday at the regular weekly luncheon that will be bit out of the or dinary.
 Each member will bring as his guest his keenest competitor. President J. Mer- cer Barnett has mailed the following let ter to every member which explains Iuiiy how he feels about it:
 Dear Kiwanians: Competition IS the 'Wocopep' of our businesses. without competition we would die O. dry rot, and the dear public would never know the literal meaning of the word service
 "On Tuesday night. in my absence the secretary having planned the programme we are going to have competitors oay at our regular weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club I am glad that am back so that I can get my competitor and bring him down to real club, where real constructive things are put over fo-' the good of Birmingham as well as TOT the members of our club. l want you to meet me there with your livest competl- tor.
 Now. don't be piker and bring one new man in your line who has not devel- oped wallop that keeps you dodging- get the boy who keeps you awake at night figuring how you are going to put it over on him the next day.
 After all. competition is simply CO., operation The man who competes with you fairly in business is the best aid you have in getting line on your business He is your prodder your reminder your daily reiuyenator So why be other than friendly with this fellow? He is after the iron man for the same reason tna' vou are in the chase. He feels that this world owes him a living, and he has right to collect it. The final anaiysis IS is he going to collect 1t rom the pup'rt on merit. or will he make you pay part of his income because you are asleep to the fact that he is an asset to yoa instead of liability?
 Bring your competitor Tuesday.
 Greetings, Indians! Heres hoping see all of you on Tuesday al l clo.a The nroera anme will be the most interest ing YOU have ever heard-I am not solns' to talk. Kiwanisly yours,
 a. MERGER BARNETT. Presideht.

Local DatG
Bodeker Compliments
 Local Police Force

In speaking of the criticisms heaped on the local police and detective force last night, George H. Bodeker, manager of Bodeker's National Detective agency, and for seven years chief of the police departments. had this to say about the efficiency of the force:
 q have noticed some criticism in the papers regarding the efficiency of the polica and detective departments of Bir- mingham q have known the present chief of police, T. J. Shirley, for the past 30 years. I worked with him as patrolman, and he was police sergeant during the seven years I was chief. and wish to say that he is very effi- cient officer, and with proper support, will make one of the best chiefs Bir- mingham has ever had.
 "The great trouble with the Birming ham police department is that they nave only half the number of men they should have, and I think their work is very efficient, considering this fact. If the citizens of Birmingham would CO., operate with the police department in stead of criticizing them, 1t would be much better. It is the duty of every citizen to report any violation of the law to the police department.
 q have known Chief of Detectives George Lyons ever since he has been connected with the police department. and feel that he, too, with the proper support. will give every satisfaction, for he Is a very competent officer.
 T wish to congratulate Commissioner Taylor for the way he has handled the departments since he has been in of flee think the service he has given the public has been very efficient and that he has shown excellent judgment in selecting the superior officers"

GREGORY REPORTS
 ID PRESIDENT ON
 ESPIONAGE CASES
Says Those Convicted Not Political Prisoners and Will Not Recommend Indis-
 criminate Pardons
By AssooIstsd Press

Washington, March 2,-Attorney General Gregory has recommended to President Wilson commutation of the sentences of persons convicted under the espionage act, a review of whose cases by officials of the department of justice has revealed that the evi- law was too eircumstantial to warrant the carrying out of the full sentences fixed by the trial juries
 Officials of the department of jus tice, in making public tonight MT. Gregory's letter to the President, said communication had been recommended for several hundred persons now held in prison, but they were unable to even estimate the number. Names of the persons involved were not given out.
 Mir. Gregory said in his letter to the President that the reviewing commits sion in the department was examining the records in the eases of all the other convictions under the espionage law and that recommendations as to these would be submitted later. The Pres ident was expected to act on the cases now before him within a short time, possibly before sailing for France next Wednesday.
 Careful scrutiny and analysis of all cases now pending under the espionage act is now being made, Mir. Gregory said, In order that, as far as possible, "only those cases shall be prosecuted which have substantial merit and are clearly prima facie violations of law"
 With regard to the records in the cases of convicted persons thus far ex- amined, Mr. Gregory said he was sat- isfied that in most cases of convic- ton substantial justice was done de- fendants by the conduct of the trial, the character of the evidence, and the sentences imposed"
 He said, however, that in some cases where the evidence of wilful intent was indirect or circumstantial in character. injustice resulted to certain defendants because of the all prevalent condition of intense patriotism and aroused emo tions on the part of jurors"
 Referring to recent demands from in- dividuals and organizations that a gen eraI amnesty be granted all persons convicted under the espionage act, now that the wah has ended, MT. Gregory wrote the President that these persons were in no sense political prisoners" and that he could not recommend an indiscriminate pardon for them.
 He said they had not been convicted fer "mere expressions of opinion" but for wilful violation of 8 law the sole aim of which was to prevent deliberate Instructions in the prosecution of the war.

 His allusion to the league of nations aroused the most intense interest and
 great applause greeted his remarks re-
 garding Plume. His words were greeted
 with "Viva Fiume," all the members of
 1 the chambers clapping their hands and
 cheering.
 In his reference to Plume Premier Or
 lando said:
 we remain faithful to the spirit or conciliation which inspired the treaty upon winch Italy entered the war. but that does not mean that Italy can remain in sensible to the appeal reaching her from the Italian town on the gulf of Quarnero (Fiume), which for centuries has de- tended it's national character and which is now exposed to the loss of both it's nationality and independence"

WEEK OF PEACE CONFERENCE
 SHOWS ACTIVITY
Commissions Anxious to Have Something Ready for Wilson and Lloyd
 Georges Return
pv Afsoetatod prese


 Paris, March 2.-The eighth week of the peace conference opens with increased effort by the working commissions to get their projects ready for consideration when President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Premier Orlando return to Paris.
 No one is more anxious for prompt action than the French commissioners. who want to hasten not only the com pletion of the peace treaty, but the adoption of the league Of nations plan as an integral part of it. o
 An opening for revision of the plan that will not threaten the integrity of the league appears to be broadening. M. Pichon, French foreign minister, has in- dicated that he will offer amendments re- lating to an international force.
 It is thought that the conference may consider other amendments, such as may be regarded in America as necessary to remove the ambiguity of clauses that might affect the Monroe doctrine, the right of secession from the league and the methods of using force against re- calcitrant nations. The American dele gates, 1t is said, may consider the pres entation of such amendment, but are awaiting the return of the President De- fore defining their attitude.
 FRENCH APPREHENSION
 French apprehension is growing anx- ious over the strength of anarchy in Ger many and the French delegates, there fore, desire to hasten the conclusion or the peace treaty and incorporate in It measures for the protection which they have expected from the league of na- tions. M Pichon, reflecting this view said that everyone wants responsible government establishment in Germany with which peace may be concluded.
 M. Pichon regards of prime importance the decision of the supreme council to create financial section of the league. Some delegates have suggested that the supreme council has thus far trans ferred to the eventual league of nations the responsibility for handling the sun- ject of international pooling of assets and liabilities growing out of the war. which might otherwise have retarded the conclusion of the peace treaty
 Some immediately pressing work has been sensibly advanced, 1t is thought, by the creation of a committee on oound- aries, which will take up all reports on frontiers and get them ready for consid- eration by the end of the week as de- clared by the council of 10. This task will be facilitated. it is believed, by tns decision to deal now only with boundary claims growing out of the war, and not admitting retroactive discussions.

SEVENTH DAY IS
 BIBLE SABBATH, SAYS EVANGELIST

"rhe Christian Sabbath Is Saturday not Sunday, and I have repeatedly of- fered 5000 for single Bible text com manding the observance of the first day of the week as day of rest" declared Evangelist Irwin M Martin to a large audience at the Jefferson theatre last night. His subject was, The Christian Sabbath" and he said in part:
 q desire to produce certain reliable evidences that the Catholic church changed the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day of the week. This fact is frankly admitted by that church, and Is testified to by all the reliable his tories and encyclopedias"
 MT. Martin then read numerous ex- tracts from standard works that he claimed bore out his contention that the change was not made by Christ or His disciples, but by the Roman church, this side of apostolic days. He went on to say:
 There are many people who call the seventh day the Jewish Sabbath, but Christ said in Mark, il, z: The Sabbath was made for man. If the Sabbath was made for man, 1t is his duty to observe 1t. We find however, by a study of the Bible that the Sabbath was instituted over 20oo years before there was Jew so 1t could hardly be called the Jewish t1pDdth. III Lh0 SiA1ccHlH ChaPh0i Of Exodus we find that the Sabbath was observed before the children of Israel ever came to Sinai where the law of God was given. The fourth command says: Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy It seems as though the one command before which the Lord placed the word remember is the one the whole world Is trying to forget
 'There is not text in all the Bible tNn4 &~fx tl, f1r Ior observance. It is time that we take the Bible ,alone as our guide and obey it's teachings. The only change recorded in the Bible is of falling away to come in, the church of which Paul spoke in the twentieth chapter of Acts and also again in the second. Thess Ii, g. This falling away did come in the statement I have read of proof The speaker then read what he claimed to be the first Sunday law made, that of Constantine in 321 A. D., at the strong instance of the Catholic bishops He then read quotations from Catholic publications, such as their accredited catechisms, and to cap the climax, he read the 5000 reward offered by a Catholic priest for one Bible text for Sunday observance.
 The Catholic church, however" said the evangelist, fs consistent in the ob- servance of Sunday, as that church does not base its teachings upon the Bible alone, but upon the Bible and tradition, and of the two they claim that the tradition of the church is the more sure and safe to follow. Protestants, however, claim that the Bible alone is the sufficient guide, and that what can not be read therein or proved thereby shall not be accepted by any one as an article of faith and practice.
 "To have been 1000 years wrong will not make us right 8 single hour. A counterfeit coin is no nearer genuine on account of having, been considered so by honest men. The first day Sab- ba tn derives ,sanctity by having been observed for centuries. It is time that we cast away everything unscriptural and follow the Bible and our Savior"
