PASSAGE OF FOOD RELIEF BILL TODAY
 HOPE OF ADVOCATES
 OF THE MEASURE
PenrOse and Sherman Lead Attack on Bill and HOOv- CTS Administration of Relief Fund in the
 Senate Debate
By Associated Press


 Washington, January 20. Debate on the administration bill appropriating $100,000,000 for food relief in Europe and the near east covered a wide range in the Senate today and again prevented a final vote on the measure. Passage of the bill is conceded by both advo- cates and opponents and demo- cratic leaders were hopeful to- night that this would be ac- complished before adjournment tomorrow.
 Attack on the bill and the administra- tion of the relief fund by Herbert c. Hoover was led by Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania and sherman of IT. linois, both republicans, while Senators Martin of Virginia. the democratic leader, and Lewis of Illinois. the demo- cratic whip, were the principal speak CTS in support of it.
 Senator Penrose said Mr Hoover had "insulted every republican cit- zenf by advising the American people to support the democratic party in the last congressional campaign and that he would offer an amendment to the bill requiring that the fund be ad- ministered by commission named by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-01-21
OFFERS AMENDMENT

The Pennsylvania senator offered an amendment requiring that the relief fund be used to purchase supplies in the United States
 Senator Martin criticized this pro- posal 'as proflteering stipulation on charitable fund,s and MT. Penrose finally modified it to read that wheat to be given free to the people of Europe should be purchased in this country as far as possible The amendment then was adopted
 Another amendment offered by Sena- tor Asharst of Arizona, democrat, would give every soldier, sailor and marine a bonus Of six Tnoaths nay and his -uni- form upon discharge, but it's considera- tion was deferred.
 Senator Lewis urged passage of the bill as necessary to sustain President Wil- son in his work at the peace conference
 Defeat of the measure, he declared, would 'dishonor'' the President and em- barrass him in future negotiations at Paris. He also charged that senators who are prejudiced against MT Hoover were injecting questions foreign to the bill and thus complicating it's passage.
 HOLDS HOOVER RESPONSIBLE
 In the course of his discussion of MT. Hoover, Senator Penrose called atten- tion to reports that the department of agriculture is drawing a bill appropri- ating $1, ,250.0 10000 which is necessary to meet the government obligation to buy the 1919 wheat crop at the fixed maxi- mum and said this was remarka ble situation brought about by MT. Hoover's administration.
 Senators Borah of Idaho, republican, Reed of Missouri, democrat, joined in the criticism of Mir. Hoover, declaring that the food administrations activities had resulted in large profits to the packers, while consumers paid high prices.
 Replying to criticisms of the packers Senator Sherman declared that the food administration's voluntary agreements had fixed and maintained high prices for live stock, while limiting packers profits on the edible portion of live stock to per cent of the invested capital
 Turning to the bill, Senator Sherman said that the sl00.000,000 fund would be placed%'in hands outside of those of the President for distribution He said the President already had selected MT Hoover, who probably would choose his own help.
 "The President" said Senator Sherman did so in the matter of arplane con structon of the appropriations for which SAC. 600 have never yet been suffiently accounted for. MT. Hughes in his report recommended court martial for certain gentlemen and the report of the (Senate) committee, without passing upon the merely civil liability, found many things that were not in accord with good busi- ness

The oath of office was administered at l2:30 o clock there Waving been delay of 20 minutes be- cause of the time required for the review of the parade. John C. Anderson, chief justice of the Alabama supreme court administered the oath of office.
 Swearing in of the new governor fol- lowed speech in which Mir, Klby gave a brief reference to many of the prin- ciples and ideas to be adhered to during his four years term. He sounded warn ing against the wasting of money by the counties and state in the road building programme. Money spent in building good roads is wasted unless some provision for the upSeep of the roads is made
 There was applause when Governor kilby touched briefly on the record the legislation made in enacting the prohi- bition amendment to the United States constitution.
 For America and for Alabama the days that are dawning will be days of exceeding brightness" said the governor in his inaugural speech. Let us put our house in order and be prepared to claim and enjoy our just sharelfo the blessings prepared by a gracious Providence for the peoples who deserve them.

 MOBILIANS ENTHUSIASTIC
 Many Mobiians, who came to the city to see the new governor inducted into office. were enthusiastic when Mir. kilby mentioned Mobile as affording the nat ural gateway to the Panama canal. The Mobile delegation believes that the new governor will do everything possible to further the interests of the Gulf City.
 In speaking of the harbor at Mobile Mir. kilby said: 'No state in the union Is richer in potential resources than Ala bama. Nature was lavish with the legacy she left us in fertile soil and ,nsur-, passed climate, combination affording truly wonderful possibilities for diversi- tication and rotation of crops. timber and mineral wealth untold. and rivers and water powers of enormous values Our harbor at Mobile. which is the natural gateway of the Panama canal. has direct water connection with the mineral dis trict where the ingredients for the manu- fracture of iron and steel lie in cioser juxtapostion than in any district in the world. Not orly must these wonderful material possibilities be realized but we must develop the power that lies dor mant in the untrained and uneducated brains of the thousands of our people

PRESIDENTS SPEECHES
BURNED BY WOMEN IN RAIN
Army Captain Leads Cheers for Mr..
Wilson Around "Watch
Fire"

Several women wearing seamen's
slickers stood in driving rain on the
sidewalk before the White House to-
day to keep burning in a metal wash
tub their watch fire." which they say
will burn until the Senate acts favor
ably on the woman suffrage amend
ment. Relays of women had attended
the fire since it was lighted in the tub
last night after crowd of citizens
and men in uniform had extinguished
one started in decorative urn in
Lafayette Square.
Half dozen women arrested during
the disturbance and released without
bond did not appear in the Police
Court this morning.
Yesterday afternoon the women
burned copies of speeches delivered
by President Wilson in Europe, and
"sentinels' unfurled banner bearing
an inscription denouncing President
Wilson as "a false prophet of democ-
racy." A dozen soldiers and sailors
instantly surrounded the banner and
shut it from the gaze of the crowd or
several hundred persons.
An Army captain then stepped IN
front of the spectators, and called for
three cheers for the president, the
worlds leader of democracy and the
best friend the women of America
ever had
The crowd gave the cheer with a
will, but there was no attempt then to
modest the "Sentinels."

Tankers who are the lucky few to

more of war than any other fighters.
Corp. Andrew B. Yeager of Chester,

in his left hand, said his tank, named
Asbestos, did the work cut out Tor

From $3.50 O'clock in the morning for
several hours his tank, with its two
big six-pounders and other guns.
wiped out German defenses that could
have been captured possibly in no
other way. His tank was caught in
German barrage, but a direct hit
was never scored against it and
casualties were from bullets that
came in the portfolios.
One of the first bullets smashed his
telescope sight. His cheek was cut,
but his eye did not suffer. After that
the fighting was at such close range
that he needed no telescope. His am
munition helper was wounded and he
had to load as we'll as fire. When the
other two tanks were blown up his
own machine and its crew of eleven
Pennsylvania lads took care of the OBJ
jectives intended for the others. Thus
a wide and deep area was made clear
for the infantry.

into the fighting again in October

PRESIDENT MASARyk
ON HIS WAY TO ROME|
To Confer With Mr.. Wilson and
Italian Statesmen on Jugo-
Slav Territory.

Thomas G. Masaryk, president OF
the newly created republic of Czecho-
Slovakia, is on his way from Prague
to Rome to confer with President
Wilson and Italian statesmen con-
corning the differences between Italy
and the states forming the proposed
Jugo-Slav republic. This information
was received here today from official
sources.
Some diplomats here regard this
dispute as one of the most important
growing out of the dismemberment
of the old Austro- Hungarian empire.
and they expressed hope that an
agreement satisfactory to all con-
cerned would result from the con-
ferences between Presidents Wilson
and Masaryk and Italian statesmen.
Italy, always has regarded posses
sion of the east coast of the Adriatic
by Austria Hungary as menace, and
it lays claim to the territory by
virtue of the provisions of the treaty
of London made just before 1t entered
the war.
On their side the Jugo-Slavs con-
tend that this territory rightfully
is part of their new republic because
of the preponderance of Slavic peoples
among the population, and that with
out this outlet on the coast their new
republic would be srifled in infancy.

FRANCE AND US. SEEN
ASSERTING SAME GOAL
London Times Argues That There
Is No Fundamental Difference
Between Two Leaders.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 2.-Comparing
the speech of Premier Clemenceau
before the French chamber of depu-
ties and President Wilson's address at
Manchester. the Times argues there is
no fundamental discrepancy between
the aims of the two men. The news
paper says:
"All that M. C1emenceau says Of the
Observation-Disclosures we may call it
between the positions of France and
America is simple truth. France sees
and feels what a German invasion
means. and demands absolute security
against recurrence of the danger she
so narrowly escaped and the suffer-
| ings she yet endures.
'Mr Wilson is equally determined
| to deliver her from those evils. Where
NJ. Clemenceau appears most marked
| ly to differ from Mr.. Wilson is in his
confession of a certain skepticism as
to the adequacy OF any means except
one to secure the just claims of
| France.
There Is no incompatibility be-
| tween Mr.. Wilson's ideal and the more
| prosaic immediate object which NJ.
Clemenceau sets before France. One
| is a necessary stage to the attain
ment of the other. A supremely i'm
portant fact is both admittedly desire
| the same INN ediate steps. and both
albeit one with confidence and the
other with hesitation-look forward
to the same ultimate goal. 1t Is
promising feature of the attitudes of
the two statesmen that neither affects
to entertain extravagant hopes"
The newspaper regards President
Wilson's suggestion as to the ma
chinery for subsequent readjustments
the most valuable and important of
his recent utterances, and contends
that only by some such methods as
those advocated by Mr.. Wilson and by
continuous conferences can 1.-The bur-
dens of the partnership between
America and Europe be discharged
and borne"

J rious places was most interesting and
worthy of the notice Of the world. For

law. and they also began very effec-
tive development of the natural re-
sources in that ancient land. Irriga-

"These Arabs are learning what it
is to be free and govern themselves.
The British are substituting for the
semi-barbarous conditions of the past
not merely prosperity in every direc-
ton, but also habits of order which
in the end will make that a free, self
governed country. The people there
are learning that in the end it pays
better to be orderly and law-abidiing

Persia we found to be in a pitiable
plight owing to the devastation that
had occurred there. There were star

The commission organized relief work
there and left it in operation. Ar

of the commission warn against the
menace of bolshevism. They declare
that America and the allies should

civilization of the world. DR.. Judson
declares himself to be in favor of
strong Polish, Czecho-Slovak and
Jugo-S1av countries as indispensable
barriers against bolshevism on the
one side and German aggression on
the other. The work of bringing or
der out of chaos by the conference is
as important as was the winning OF
