 The hospital car, which was said to be the second of it's kind to pass through Birmingham, was one of the newest and most modern of it's kind, and contained 30 beds for soldiers too ill to sit up- In addition there was kitchen with very large stove, tables. pantries, linen closets and immense ice box. All of the 300 men on the train were fed from this kitch- en, and the stove, apparently heated by coal, was capable of holding food for 800 men. By o'clock in the morning five cooks were busy preparing dinner, while the pantries were packed with canned goods, jams, jellies, sugar and various goodies for the men. The ice box, a tw o-story affair and almost as large as room, had compartments where alll fresh and perishable food was kept. IT the linen closet fresh towels and linen foly the sick men is kept and the silver and' dishes were also neatly packed in. this closet. With the exception of the jarring of the moving train which cap only be partially remedied b a system of straps, which hold the patients body steady, but is most painful to wounded men, the car was as comfortable and spacious as hos pital ward. The entire car was spotiessly clean and all litter was removed at Camp Gordon, according to Captain Stearns, and with the exception of a few hope lessly crippled men all were able to be up and about.
 The canteeners took some of the men for a ride over the city, while all were givens cakes, candy, cigarettes, post cards and sandwiches and coffee. The men left Birmingham shortly after noon, enthusi- astic in their praise of the Red Cross can teen workers of this city.

 to Maimed Conditions
By Associated Press


 Washington, March 8.-Present es- inmates of military authorities put the number of Americans disabled in the war at 100000. Of this number, it is estimated so.ooo will be able to re- turn to their old occupations. leaving 10000 who need retraining for work suited to their maimed conditions.
 The federal board for vocational ed ucation, appealing to the country today for aid in the campaign to make dis abled soldiers independent by making themselves elf-supporting, announced that so far 13,000 injured men havo registered for retraining. The appli- cations of 1900 have been approved and 500 actually have started courses in re-education. The experience of France and England, that only 20 per cent of the men needing retraining taking ad = vantage of the facilities offered seems certain to be surpassed in this coun- try, the federal board believes, "in view of the greater generosity of this government"

He stated that the last time he saw this city he felt as if lie would never see it again, and he wanted to knock about and look up some of the boys.

Boston. March s.-The speaking cam paign in opposition to the league of na- tions plan in the form advocated by President Wilson and indorsed by former President Taft. was continued at meeting that filled Fremont temple tonight.
 As in earlier speeches, Senator Borah' republican, of Idaho. denounced the proposed league as league of diplomats rather than of nations with an execu- tive council in which Asiatic and Euro. pean members could outvote America on purely American issues.
 Senator Thomas of Colorado reiterated his conviction that the United States ought not to be committed to a new and far-reaching national policy in advance of a thorough knowledge of every detail involved in so momentous an undertak- ing.
 Former Senator Beveridge of Indiana, who was chairman of the progressive na' tional convention in 1912, presided. Tn introducing the other speakers, MT. BeV- eridge attacked the proposed interna- tional constitution as partnership Ill which Europe and Asia would furnish the liabilities and the United States SUD- ply the assets.
 '.We are told that we shall disappoint the world if we refuse" Cto join league of nations), he said. If any business house made contracts on that principle how long would it keep out of bankruptcy?

PLANT THINGS FOR THE chill
DREN.

If there are any children on your
place, plant some of the things that
children especially love to eat. | do
not mean by this just plain every
day field crops and vegetables, but
the "real GOOD things. Watermel
ons and cantaloupes lin abundance
for summer use. Popcorn and pea
nuts for winter. | would say berries
and grapes and orchard fruits and
nuts, if it were not now too late to
plant such things.
All of these things of course, are
worth growing for the satisfaction of
the grown-ups and for the profit
there is in growing them; but if there
was never a cent to be had out of
them, the satisfaction the children
would get out of them would make
them worth while. The farm with
out an orchard is only half home.
The farmer who has no vineyard or
strawberry patch, does not exactly
understand what farming is done
for. The place with no nut trees in
the woods or along the fences is a
sadly incomplete place The system
OF farming that fails to take childish
appetites into consideration is rad
ically defective system.
Make the farm real home for the
children-a place at which they will
be glad to stay when they are grown
up, or to which they will look back
with love in the after years if they
leave it. You can do no better farm
ing than this.-Southern Agricultur-
list.

TEXAS SENATOR
HITS OPPONENTS
OF PEACE LEAGUE
Sheppard Points Out League
is Without War-Making
Power.

Washington, June disappearing
the league of nations, Senator Shep.
pard, democrat, of Texas told the
senate today that objection to any
war making power of the league was
entirely groundless. The covenant
only pledges the member nations to
cooperate in repelling invasion. He
said, "but confers no powers on the
league" in that regard.
viewing the covenant as a whole, .
said the Texas senator, cit may well
be characterized as the most effect
i've instrument for the maintenance of
peace and the prevention of war the
heart and brain of man have yet pro-
duced. 1t has not attempted the
impossible; it is based on a clear
recognition of the fact that we have
not yet reached that state where war
may be entirely suppressed 1t makes
war remote and improbable however
by organizing the public opinion and
the moral force of civilization in one
great international unit pledged to
the peaceful settlement Of interna-
tional controversies.
"But we are told that the United
States should cot enter an arrange
ment Of this kind because our geogra-
phical situation and inherent strength
make us Independent of foreign broils
and they say this with $4,000 Amer
lean graves in foreign soil bearing
tragic testimony to the effect of an
European situation on this republic
"They tell us that if we subscribe
to this covenant we do so as a mat
ter of favor to other nations; that
they need US but we do not need
them. | tell you there was never a
time when it was more necessary for
the civilized nations to stand togeth-
er for the peace and liberty of the
world than now. 1t was either this
or the piling of ornaments on armam-
ents until the peoples are broken
from the strain.
1.-THE covenant offers the firmest
barrier against war humanity has
yet known. 1t builds fresher and
stronger foundations for the civiliza-
ton and progress of mankind 1t is
the mightiest advce toward a higher
existence and better day since the
cry of the angels in the skies of Beth
lehem for peace on earth, good will to
men,"
