For the Good of
 the Community
Continued from Yesterday

Continued from Yesterday THE third internal improvement prop A osition approved by the Alabama legislators and which the voters of the state will be called upon to indorse is that of river terminals on the Warrior near Birmingham.
 This is strictly Jefferson county prop osition, but before Jefferson county can embark on the enterprise the consent of the voters of the entire state must be ob- tained.
 Senator West introduced and put through the senate a proposed constitu- tional amendment which authorizes coun- ties having over S100,000,000 of taxable property to issue bonds for the purpose of building, buying, owning, operating and controlling river terminals and port fa- cilities.
 The Jefferson delegation in the lower house of the legislature put the proposal through that body without negative vote.
 The proposed amendment will be sub- mitted to the voters of the state at spec ial election some three months hence, and if it is approved by them, then the voters of Jefferson county will be called upon to authorize the county to issue the bonds necessary to build the terminals. There ishardly doubt but what they will do so.
 Alabama is awaking gradually from her forty-odd years sleep and is going to take her place among the foremost states of the union in the progressive march.
 When the white men wrenched control of the state from the footing carpet-bag- gers in 1876 they adopted new constl- tuition that prohibited the state from en- gazing in internal improvements. It was wise provision in it's day, but times have changed.
 In the march of industrial and commer- cial progress transportation and trade fa- cilities beyond the ability or inclination of individuals to undertake are necessity. The state must, therefore, step in and pro- VIUC CI1clIl.
 Good roads are essential to modern :, life, but their cost is prohibitive to the counties. The state or the nation, or both, must provide these. And this is what they propose doing now.
 Will the voters of Alabama let them do it?
 With these three programmes put through Alabama, iii ten years, will be one of the very busiest and most prosper ous state in the union, her industries and her commerce will thrive. It will be pos sible to travel by private conveyance from one end of the state to the other without falling into hole or rut great steamships will line the harbor at Mobile, and the port of Birmingham will be the collecting and distributing point of millions of dol lars worth of domestic and foreign ship ping.

FLEET
HAS BIG GUNS

drawing had been started. On April
%, 1918, a completed gun was rolled
or it's own wheels to Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds for long-range tests.
The guns, Secretary Daniels said,
originally were intended for the new
battle cruisers, but a change in design
of the vessels made the guns avail
able for land service.
The guns were mounted on car
riages which could be moved freely
over the French railroads. With them
went their naval crews. Twelve cars
were required for each gun-machine
shop cars, armored ammunition cars,
kitchen, berthing, crane and wireless
cars. The batteries were sufficiently
mobile that if an order came to move
while in action, they could be on their
way in an hour.
Greatest Range Of Mobile Guns.
The 14-inche-s had greater range
than any gun ever before placed on
mobile mountings. The German guns
which fired on Paris were freaks"
They were built on permanent steel
and concrete foundations. Their pro-
iectile was small and specially built
for long flight. This reduced their eff
ficiency and while they had moral eff
feet, their military value was small.
Because of their permanent position
their location was discovered by allied
aviators and the guns silenced.
The German 15-inch gun in Elan
ders also became famous for its long
range bombardment of Dunkirk and
other allied bases, but neither could
be shifted from base to base without
delay Of weeks. The American IL
inch gun could move from one end
OF France to another and had a range
of 80 miles. At range of $4,000 yards
