|0NE-F0URTH QUOTA | FOR MEMORIAL IS
 RAISED IN COUNTY
More Speed Expected as the Corporations Begin Con- tributions-People Urged
 to Double Their Efforts

Nearly one-fourth of Jefferson countv's s quota for the Alabama memorial to be erected to commemorate the deeds of the soldiers, sailors and marines who served in the world war has been raised by campaign committees and individual workers, according to Erskine Ramsey, county chairman, just returned from Kansas City
 strong effort will be made this week Tor the corporations to support the cam paign. All corporation committees have been called upon to make vigorous cam pa ign among the big business firms of the city, This is expected to aid materially in bringing Birmingham and Jefferson from It's lowly place to over the top. &C., cording to officials
 Mir Ramsey was highly pleased with the returns made by G. w. Connors, president of the Connors Weyman Steel company. in which subscriptions amount ing to S1o were turned in from organiza- tions he was interested in and expressd this as being the spirit upon which he hoped to find the corporation owners this week when approached by various committees.
 The Scottish Rite masons forwarded S250 to campaign headquarters yesterday to be applied to the building of the pro- pooSh IlOnulnenL to the veterans of the state.
 Miss Annie Lynch's committee of busi- ness women reported $5l0 to the fund yesterday. Mrs H. E. Pearce, county chairman of the womans division, an- nounced the allotment for their division was nearly raised and upon successfully securing their quota an effort would be made to help the various mems commit tees to complete the quota for Jefferson county
 Reports from Tuscaloosa county that the drive was clogged because of alleged propaganda that a "fat-salagied job had been provided for some one after the erection of the monument was flat ly denied at headquarters and nothing whatsoever of this kind has entered the minds of the promoters of the monument, stated officials. It is stated that this talk is purely selfish and should be squelched by those who served the colors if not by the patriotic citizens of the community.
 Campaign officials say this building is to commemorate the deeds of Alabama state in the world war and former wars and the people should heartily enter in to the spirit of the erection of such a tribute to these men who shared, even at times giving their all that their state might live forever in peace and pros- perity.

2.b BEER MAKING
VILE STOP. .MAY:1
Food Act of November 21.
1918, Becomes Effective
Next Thursday.

Brewing of beer will stop next
Thursday, May /. under the food con-
servation act of November II. 1913, 1t
was said today at the internal revenue
bureau. This prohibition will affect al
beer, including that now being produced
containing 2% per cent alcohol, for
which the internal revenue authori-
ties now issue revenue stamps with
out having decided specifically wheth-
er this production violates existing
laws and regulations.
Internal Revenue Commisioner Ro-
per today would not discuss the tan
gled status Of beer production, and
consequently the statement that pro-
duction Of all malt liquors would stop
on May l was not regarded as nnal.
Regulations heretofore issued by
Commissioner Roper provide:
1.-THE act of November 21. 1918. pro-
vides that no grain. cereals. fruit or
other food products may be used in
the production of fermented malt IL
ouors after May 1. 1919
Oficials stated that the 2x per cent
beer could hardly be- construed as
anything other than fermented malt
liquors"
Reports today indicated that many
brewers were rushing their output Of
beer SO as to acquire before next
Thursday stocks to fll demands be-
tween then and June 80. when prohi-
bition becomes effective.

Commission on Responsibility for
War Suggests Creation of
Trial Tribunal.

PARIS, April 24.-The Temps pub
fishes in detail the report of the COM
mission on responsibility for the war.
This report was presented some time
ago, but the council Of four has since
taken action differing from the
original draft.
The report as published contains
four chapters. The first reviews the
history Of the origin Of the war, and
formally concludes that Germany and
Austria Hungary were responsible.
The second presents thirty-two in
dictments for violations Of the laws
and customs of war, as formulated
in international conventions, and
concludes with the statement that
the central empires Turkey and Bull
gara, conducted the war by 'barb&r-
GUS and illegitimate methods"
The third chapter declares that all
persons belonging to enemy countries,
however high their station, may be
objects Of judicial prosecution. The
fourth demands the constitution Of a
high tribunal to Judge crimes COM
mitted during the wal: without, how
ever, excluding oompntent tribunals
Of the different nations from acting

diotion Of national courtA

officials have been unable to get q

pass them for tho police force.
