ABOLIsHING SUBMARINES

The proposal made at the Peace Con-
ference to forbid the use of the submar-
inc hereafter is typical of much of the
maudlin sentimentality that is being dis
cussed seriously in these days of the APP
preaching millennium. In all the world
there could be nothing more agreeable to
know or to believe than that the submar-
inc and every other weapon Of warfare
was to be scrapped for all time. But so
long as other weapons are to be used the
submarine will be used
Of course the only serious objection
against submarines has been based upon
its misuse, not its use. Precisely the same
argument might be made against the
aeroplane. The Hun aviators who bombed
the schools and churches of Paris were
merely following the creed of the sub
marine captains who sank the Lusitania.
Yet no one seriously believes that these
crimes can be used to prohibit the use of
aeroplanes hereafter.
In many ways the submarine is the
most valuable weapon developed in re-
cent years. 1t is the ideal weapon for
small countries. Its relative cheapness,
coupled with the ease and rapidity with,
which. it may be constructed, makes it in
valuable to countries which could not
hope to cope with the great powers in
constructing dreadnoughts or battle
cruisers.
History records two other instances in
which attempts were made to prohibit
the use in war of scientific developments.
Following the battle of Cressy, where
gun powder was used for the first time,
protests were made against the introduc-
ton of this diabolical instrument of mur-
der. The protests subsidized and warning
powers started the competition, which
continues until now, to perfect powder
and the weapon to which it is best suited
At the first Hague Conference deter
mined effort was made to prohibit the
use thereafter Of deadly gases. The plan

ANY INTERNATIONAL MATTER

This proposed League of Nations, says
the President, is not merely league to
prevent war, or to enforce peace, or to Sc
sure the peace of the world. Those OBJ
jects have been much exploited, doubtless
for the sake of commencing the thing to a
war weary world People are sick of wax.
They long for peace. They would like to
be ISSUED against recurrence of the great
war, against the occurrence of any more
wars. Therefore they instinctively turn
with desire for favorable consideration
to any proposal for attaining such ends.
Even if it required the abandonment of
long cherished doctrines and policies, and
required the amendment of the Constitu-
ton anything that certainly prevented
war would be worthy of attention.
But this thing gives no such guarantee.
The President does not pretend that it
does. The text of the Constitution of the
League makes no such pretence. On the
contrary it provides for the occurrence of
war. 1t contemplates the occurrence Of
wars between nations, while of course it
does not so much as essay to discourage
intestine wars within nations. But while
it thus fails to assure the satisfaction of
that great desire of the world, it is some
thing else. ut is" said the President, "a
League which can be used for cooperation
in any International matter" The Presi-
dent said that in Paris, doubtless with
the purpose and expectation of thus COM
mending the project to the favor of his
colleagues in the Peace Congress. But
what was said in Paris must be heard in
America; and we shall see whether that

national matter. 1t is a matter Of much

concern to some foreign nations to what
extent and under what conditions their
people are permitted to migrate to the
United States. 1t is also matter of vi
tai interest to the United States that we
shall regulate immigration according to
the needs Of our own welfare. Hitherto
certain countries have felt aggr1eved at
our refusal to permit unrestricted migra-
ton from them to us. Under the princi-
Piles of this League, as expounded by the
President, such nation would be able to
appeal to the League, and the League
would be able in order that we should OPP
en- wide our gates to unrestricted and UNI
conditional immigration from any and all
lands.
The tariff, for another thing. That is
essentially an international matter. 1t is
notorious that the American system of
protective tariff has initiated against the
interest of manufacturers and merchants
of other lands, and has been regrded as
something of a hardship to them. 1t is
entirely conceivable that some nation
might protest to the League of Nations
that the American tariff was interfering
with the freedom of trade with this coun-
try, that the League might take the mat
ter up as international in its bearings,
and might, by virtue of its overwhelming
non-American majority, direct that all
protective tariffs should be abolished and
that free trade should everywhere pre-
vail.
Extradition, for third thing. Certain
ly that is an international matter. 1t has
hitherto been dealt with partly by our
own domestic ordinances and partly by
treaty stipulations. We have always re-
fused resolutely to permit the extradition
of those who were charged with merely
political offences, such as conspiracy and
attempted revolution. But "a League
which could be used for cooperation in
and international matter" could require
the United States to amend its practice
in this respect, and to surrender on de-
mand any fugitive from any country who
had sought asylum here, on any pretext
whatever. I@AaHx
We do not think that the American peo-
pie are willing thus to deliver their inter-
ests unreservedly to the control of an or
ganization which would in composition be
overwhelmingly non-American, and on
which some points of vital Importance
might easily be anti-American. A League
which could be used for cooperation in
any international matter would be poten-
italy universal meddler and universal
menace-The Weekly.

MY DEAR FRIENDS:\


l didn't know whether you attended the
opening of the big new store of the Haverty
Furniture Company during the past week
or not.
imagine you did. for l didn't miss any
body; it seemed to me that the world and
his wife accepted the invitation so grac-
iously extended by the management to drop
in and see them at their beautiful new
home around on Fourth avenue.
Anyway whether you did or whether
you didn't attend the opening, | have a
word to say about this splendid new asset
to Birmingham's commercial word-a
magnificent furniture store, credit to any
city of five times the size of this, and
tower of strength and beauty through all
ages.
In the first place, the Haverty Furniture
Company is strictly furniture store; every
conceivable idea in furniture has been pur-
chased by this firm, from the simple little
rocking chair beside the sewing table
where the tiny lamp burns as the fond
mother darns the little folks stockings in
the wee sma hours of the night-up to the
most gorgeous mahogany bedroom suits
fit for the palace of king and queen.
Upon entering the palatial new store,
beautifully decorated and artistically ar
ranged, the first floor reveals stupendous
stretch of territory devoted entirely to the
display of handsome living room and draw
ing room furniture.
Superb divans, gorgeously upholstered;
handsome rockers, artistically upholstered;
elegant library tables; beautiful library
chairs; writing desks; standing lamps with
their silken shades gold trimmed and others
of Oriental design, casting soft lights over
the spacious rooms. These are only few
of the handsome pieces of furniture dis
played.
Arranged in artistic taste you'll find a
living room or library completely fur
nished; for instance, there will be a square
the size of room arranged with the Ii
brary table chairs lamps, writing desk, di-
vans, foot stools and everything to match,
and you can purchase the entire suit of
furniture if it pleases your fancy.
This seems to me very clever suggestion
and C3ves much time and worry.
have never seen more lovely furniture
than at the Haverty Furniture Company's
store, and it is all displayed so beautifully
it is easy to find just what you want, from
''tea wagon" to rocking chair.

; ;:s;:: 1912 IA, 4th Ave. . =::;:::

A portion of the first floor is reserved for
the handsome Display Rooms" of the Co
lumbia Talking Machine" which is shown
in many beautiful designs, from the mex
pensive instruments to the more preten-
tious and elegant.
Records including orchestral numbers
by the worlds most famous orchestras;
arias by the worlds most famous prima
donnas, as we'll as all the popular music of
the day, may be had here.
On the second floor the artistic woman
will fairly reve in the beautiful line of rugs
draperies, curtains and kitchen furniture.
The entire second floor is given over to
these goods, and again taste and judgment
in the arrangement of these articles is re-
marked, each having its own particular
setting" as it were.
The handsome line of rugs carried by
this big firm is of exceptional interest to the
woman who is furnishing her new home or
refurnishing her old home for there are all
sorts of Oriental rugs of exquisite TEXTURE
there are small ones, large sized ones and
medium ones. I've never seen more beau
tiful coloring, and right along this line let
me say that nothing is a better investment
than handsome rug. 1t lasts for years and
years and is a perfect joy to own. The
Christmas sale OF these beautiful rugs is eX-
ceptional, and if you are anxious to make
some friend happy, suppose you buy one of
these lovely rugs at the Haverty Furniture
Company and give it for Christmas gift.
You couldn't make more beautiful or
more practical gift to any one than just this.
Of course, there's not much romance in
stoves, but there is much practical good
sound common sense, and What Every
Woman Knows" is that the foundation of
the home is "cook stove," for no woman
can ever hope to improve on the old adage
that 'sthe best way to reach a mans heart
is through his stomach" and how can you
do that unless you have good stove on
which to prepare his food?
The stoves at The Haverty Furniture
Company actually look interesting. They
are so new and bright and shiny and they
are to be had in all sizes and kinds and de-
scriptions. There are big stoves and little
stoves and stoves Of every variety-"heat-
ers'' as well as cook stoves
AS the big elevators carry you to the
third floor you find yourself delighted
with the handsome display of dining room
furniture, for here you find the same beau
tiful taste shown in the selection of dining
room furniture which characterizes the
other departments of this big store, and the
dining tables, square and round, the chairs,

sideboards, buffets serving tables china
presses are all matched in beautiful suits
among the handsomest being the mahog
any suits in the William and Mary style,
the Queen Anne" and the beautiful Chip
pendale' things, which are not only eX-
elusive, but unique and different.
Usually women pay more attention to
their dining room than to any other part OF
the house, and, a beautifully furnished din
ing room gives more style and tone to
home than almost any other part of the
house, SO the most fastidious can go to The
Haverty Furniture Company with the eX-
pectation of being pleased, for greater as
sortment of beautiful dining room furniture
has scarcely ever been on display in this
cityA
During the past week The Haverty Fur
niture Company has embodied the idea of
the "Home Beautiful in the completely
furnished Bungalow" on the Fourth
Floor" which is one Of the most attractive
things that could have been devised for the
display of the furniture contained in this
big store.
Passing from the elevator to the rear of
the store on the Fourth Floor" bedroom
suits are displayed in mahogany, Birds
eye maple, golden oak, Flemish oak French
gray enamel white enamel and handsome
brass beds are also shown.
In the Bungalow" beginning with the
living room and going straight back to the
kitchen, the Bungalow is completely fur
nished even to the dainty window curtains
in the bedrooms, with the brightly lowered
Chintz draperies.
The Breakfast Room done in all
white enameled furniture, is unusually
lovely, and with the attractive little round
table and comfortable chairs the ensemble
gives a most attractive effect
There isn't piece of furniture which
might be desired for house that isn't to
be had at The Haverty Furniture Com
pany, and for those friends whom you wish
to remember at Christmastide with beau
tiful piece of furniture, rug, tea cart, tele-
phone set, desk, furniture or even an I'M
romantic but very practical cook stove or
"heater," you will find a most varied as
sortment at this big store which, during the
past week has removed to it's present pala-
tial quarters where the. goods are displayed
to a most artistic advantage.
With the best of Christmas Wishes,
Sincerely, .

Us during the year when the war
was strictly an European affair. has
come into It's own again. The two years
in which the United States was con
eerned in the struggle saw scarcely
any travel Of any description. The
means Of transportation were used in
moving troops and those persons who
were unfortunate enough to be left cut
of the great game, By force Of circum-
stance, were busy doing their bit in
their own limited sphere. However,
now that final settlement has been
agreed 10. the wanderlust is claiming
its victims once more. and with travel
in Europe almost impossible as yet,
Americans are making the most Of the
situation and becoming acquainted
with their own country.
A great number Of Salem people
have chosen interstate or trans-eOn-
tinental trips as their form of sum

friends during the various stages Of
their tours, all report excellent roads,
