New York, March 3.The market today was quiet with not very much outside business and with prices around Satur- days level. the market finally clos ing at a small net advance. It is re- reported that one of the Belgian mills has reopened and this was considered encouraging as showing that business or the other side is making some prog ress toward the normal On the other hand the news from Germany was again disturbing and caused quite se- were decline in Liverpool before our open ing. The weak cables have only sma II influence here, however, as it is felt that the price of contracts has dis counted great deal when the differ
 ence of middling for the lower grades was taken into considerations There IS is report current this afternoon that the shipping board would soon receive ad- ditional tonnage released for commercial ,1se and it was hoped that this might afford freight room at the quoted govern ment price.

A picturization of David Graham Phillips greatest novel. '"rhe Grain of Dust" now being presented at the Trianon theatre, proved the hit of the photoplay season on its premier pre- sentation Monday. All day long crowds flocked to the Trianon and were loud in praise of the production. Birmingham theatre goers are finding this production just as entertaining as have theatre-goers in other cities where the picture has also proved a big hit.
 This production will be seen at the Trianon this week only and all ef- forts to keep 1t over for another week week have proven unavailing
 Millions have read 'rhe Grain CT Dust" which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post and later in novel form It has been declared one of the great est stories ever appearing in the Post It seems as though all who had read the novel tried to see the photoplay at the Trianon Monday, Crowds were in evidence all the time It is suggest- ed that attendance at the early morn ing performances will assure better opportunity for admission

with red tape, the former Reichstag hay ing adjourned before an investigation was concluded.
 A measure concerning the future of the German colonies was sponsored by the colonial minister, who declared that President Wilson in his IA points un equivocally had spoken for justice.
 The minister said that Germany was willing to submit the colonial question to any impartial and nonpartisan com mission on the basis of President Wlsons s IA points. The speaker protested against the alleged unjustfied charges of German mistreatment of natives in the German colonies. He said the accusations either were based on mistake or made with mal- ice. He then proceeded to laud Presi- dent Wilson.
 The assembly rapidly passed bills pro- viding safeguards against money going abroad, revising the 1917 law dealing with foreign securities and requiring that manuscript and printed matter and se- curities and cash be sealed before being sent abroad. The assembly also adopted a bill to reimburse the enemy armies in the occupied district of Germany.
 The features of the afternoon session of the assembly were a speech by pr. Helm, leader of the Bavarian peasant party in which he protested against the continual appeals for the raising of the British blockade and urged Germany to do what was possibly to feed itself by a little real work, and a lively controversy between Emmanuel Wurm, former food minister and Hedd Bauer, independent socialist labor minister.

LEE sHoRTNACY INJURED

Anniston. March 3-(Special. )-After fighting through all of the campaigns through which the famous "F1ghting Fourth" Alabama went during the great world war without injury of any kind' Private Lee Shortnacy, Company M, loith infantry, will probably lose one of his legs from an accident, according to private ad- vices which reached Anniston Saturday. The story which has reached the city describes the injury to Private Shortnacy as serious one, a 45-calibre pistol ball shattering his leg at the knee. The acci- dent is said to have occurred while Pri- vate Shortnacy was handling his own weapon.
 Private Shortnacy was with the army of occupation at the time of the accldent'
 and while the letter from the front did
 not state that amputation had already occurred, the belief was expressed that
 he would lose his leg as a result of the
 accidental pistol shot The local soldier was recently cited for exceptional bravery in the field and had been commended by Colonel Screws for his solderly conduct during times Of great danger. Lee Shortnacy enlisted in the Oxford company just before the beginning of the Mexican trouble, and has served with distinction in that organization since the early part of 1917.

OFFICIAL ORDER RECEIVED

Anniston, March 3-(Special. Mai. Robert E. Scott, the chief construction and utilities quartermaster at Camp Me Ciellan. is in receipt of an official war department order excepting Camp Me Clellan from the general order dismant- ling. abandoning and salvaging of the temporary camps in the southeastern de- partment The order also provides for the keeping of sufficient number of sol diers at the local camp to protect all the government property valued at several millions of dollars.
 The official information is believed by those interested in the permanency of Camp Mcclellan to mean that there is ample truth in the ,rumors. which have been in circulation recently that 12,0oo or more men of the regular army are to be stationed permanently at Mcclellan. The order issued several weeks ago designated Mcclellan as a mammoth stor- age, salvage and shipping depot for all the camp material to be salvaged in the southeastern department. gives Camp Me Clellan an important place in the scheme Of perina nent military posts.
 The salvage division at the local camp, which is under the supervision of Capt. M. J. Maloney, is one of the busiest places on the reservation, and this department resembles a small city in it's present ac- tivities. All Of the departments under Captain Maloney's supervision have their particular line of work to be done, and n,eny thousands of dollars worth of mil itary material has been assembled by the men under his direction.
 The population of the camp will not be materially reduced by removal of men during the present week. unless there is a change in the plans already announced. and tie oninion prevails in many quarters on tho reservation that practically all of the officers and men now stationed at the camp wal remain there for the next several months.

PERSISTENT RUMORs HEARD

Anniston, March 3.-(Special)-A per sistent rumor. coming from nobody knows where, has been in circulation in Annis- ton and Camp Mcclellan during the past week that the local camp has been desig- mated as training point for l2,oo0 sol diers of the regular army. and while there is no official confirmation that an order of this kind is to be promulgated by the war department, many officers and citizens believe that the order will s5on be forthcoming. T
 The work of demobilizng the artillery units, the trench mortar batteries ana the ammunition trains which made up the Ninth and Twelfth field artillery orl- gades, trained at the local camp last fall and winter, is going steadily forward, and before the end of another week noth-
 ing will remain of these organizations.
 The quartermaster department, emprac- ing the camp supply officers detachment the salvage division. the utilities and the constructions divisions are to be retained and the probability that re- mount depot will be established here adds no little interest to the question Of the perrnanency of the camp

 PLAN TO OVERCOME
 LEAGUE OBJECTIONS
sv Associated Prsss

New York March 3.-By dividing the world into three administrative areas in which the Americas would be one unit the objections to the drafted plan for a league of nations could be over- come, pr. Nicholas Murray Butler, pres ident of Columbia university declared in an address here today. This plan he said, would eliminate objections that the covenant as now framed would in- terfere with the perations of the Mon- roe doctrine. He proposed as the three areas:
 ..First, Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia nearest to Europe and Africa.
 Second, the American continents.
 Third, the orient, including China, Japan and Siam. Australia and New Zealand would be most conveniently made parts of the first named admin istrative area"

 The recent meeting of the American Bar association in Montreal, where Members met Lord Haldane, was de- scribed as another form of "insidlous propaganda" while Lord Northcliffe's visit to the United States during the war was held up as another example of propaganda
 He quoted from Andrew Carnegies book, 'The Gospel of Wealth. portions which he declared proved that Mir. Car negie worked and prayed for England first, last and all the time"
