 FINANCIAL CRISIS War Debt Is Over Half the Estimated Wealth of
 the Country
By Associated Press

Sofia, Bulgaria, January 9.-Bulgaria is facing a financial crisis, it is asserted. The war cost the country over s1,5o0, ,o0o- co, while it's estimated wealth is only s2, 200 OOO, ,0O0 The national debt before the war was $160, ,0o0, 900.
 Of the national debt as Il now stands which was advanced in installments of $10 00O, 600, but last winter Germany dis continued this practice, and demanded payment for munitions in cash Germany, evidently was not in the business of helping it's allies for nothing, as the clearly indicated. For each mask it charged SIG and a sheepsl<in, as com pared with the cost of a similar article for the United States army in England of &5o
 Financial experts agree that the sol vency of the country can only be pre- served by the presentation of counter claims against Germany. Even if Bull garia's total indebtedness to Germany is outweighed by Bulgaria's counter claims, oppressive taxes must be imposed for a decade or two in order to meet the re- maining debt, say Bulgarians. The state revenues before the last three wars aver aged 900 per annum. Recent taxa ton added $20,000000 to this sum. To fill the gap between what is possible to raise by taxation and the needs of the nation it is now proposed to confiscate wealth illegally obtained in addition to drastic taxation of war profits.
 Under Germanys tutelage the financial policy maintained by Bulgaria sank the country deeper and deeper every year in debt It was the only beligerent coun- try which issued no internal loan, but contented itself with printing paper money to the total of almost $500, ,000, ,000 at the normal rate of exchange As a result Bugaria's currency has deprecia- ted more than one-half, while the ac- cumulation of private wealth ran par allel to the rapidly mounting state debt. More than 80 banks were floated, having a total capitalization of nearly S10O,000,- 600
 Bulgaria's sole negotiable article of ex port is tobacco, and this she must use in the world s markets in exchange for food, clothing, cotton, oils, medicine. etc. At present there are in the country the crops of the past two years, valued at about $500 900, 000

The contract stipulates that the city Is to furnish the money for the erection pf the model school on leased lands of the university and that the college is to furnish the teachers free from the edu- sation department of the university The school is to be known as the William c. Gorgas in honor of former Surgeon Will liam c. Gorgas, who is a native of the Druid City.
 This idea of a model training school bn the university campus has been pet hobby of Dr. James J. Doster, dean of education and director of the sum- ner school. Dr. Doster expects this fea- rure to be a drawing card for teachers In the future.

ton bureau without finding any way to follow them.
 q would like to know how many people in Birmingham know where Or ange street is, and how they would tell a. stranger to get there. Street signs are going to be the first item that must follow the information bureau and it may be if the information bureau be- gins to show itS practicability our traf- flee rules will be better observed and the GO and stop" signs worked with more regularity.
 Tn short, Birmingham has the pop ulation of a city and the manners of a country village. It is strange that g city can raise $445,000 when the Presi- dent asked for s169,50o, can make such a splendid showing for it's spirit and then make such 1amentable showing as self-advertiser. Birmingham has some place to go, and needs to get dressed up. I don't know just what the national committee wants us to do, but if 1t is something that will make Bir- mingham a better place to live in ana they will furnish the money, I am for it.
 And if this service is only going to be run for a certain number of months with national funds I think 1t ia nigh time we begin educating the peo- pie of the realization that Birming- ham has got to be prepared later on to Ioot the D1liS. As chairman of the committee which has been entrusted with the selection of site and the erec- tion Of the building, I can only say that speed Is the essence of this per- formance, and we hope to. have the building completed by the first of the month.
 MRS. W. J. ADAMS
 T am glad that there is another com munity effort being made in Birming- ham," said Mrs. W. J. Adams, chair man of the community sing commit tee, who was appointed vice chairman of the war camp community service Do you realize that until now the community sing was the only manifes- tation of an absolutely pure and gen eral community spirit in the city? Ev- erybody can come to the community sing and have good time Everybody find out what he wants to know, and the fullest use of either of these pub lie utilities.
 T am most enthusiastic about the information service. but I must con fess that having the establishment of this service definitely settled, I am beginning to wonder how war camp community service can help in the com munity sing. I know that community sing directors have been furnished in camp cities, by national headuuarters, and it is no secret that I have made very earnest appeal to MT. Brown, southern district representative of the war camp community service, to take

CROWD SEES PARADE

A large crowd was present for the military parade and exhibition of the students army training corps of the uni- versity Friday afternoon under the di- rection of Maj. J. T. Clemments and Lieut. Lewis H. Mattair. A parade was given, headed by the cadet band, through the streets of Tuscaloosa and later an exhibition and review was given on the campus. The exhibition consisted of such drills as wall scaling, guard mount, ex- tended order, bayonet fighting and physi- cal drill. The corps was inspected by Major Clemments pr. George H. Denny and other members of the faculty. A very successful dance was given at the gymnasium Saturday night

the matter up with headquarters to see
 whether Birmingham cannot be in cluded in the cities that are so favored.
 "Of course, our meeting last Thursday was only to organize and authorize the erection of the building, but at the next meeting I shall ask that the subject of community singing be brought up for discussion and recommendation made to national headquarters.
 MRS. W. D. SMITH
 'I am greatly encouraged over the es- tablishment of war camp community ser vice in Birmingham even in the sing, pie forna of an information bureau said Mrs. w. D. Smith, general of the Rain bow division of the allied armies in the united war work drive, and president of the Drama league, "and I am very glad to serve on the board
 T think it is natural that everyone who hears of this movement wonders how it is going to help the thing in which he or she is most interested, and I must confess that my mind turned at once to the Drama league. There is nothing that is more truly important to the life of the community than acting, singing, and play. If war camp community ser vice develops a community spirit, as it surely must, I know the work of the Drama league will be made easier, and a community theatre realized sooner.
 "I hope that the establishment of this service points toward a time when not only the Drama league and the commit nifty sing committees, but all the great civic and commercial organizations will become equally interested in things that benefit the community. After all sup pose the whole thing is commercial in a way because it makes Birmingham much better place to live in, but the inn pulse has to come from those who are

CHANGE NAME
IN HONOR OF
EX-PRESIDENT'

DEADWOOD, S. Oak, July Is (by
Associated Press) .-Within sight of
the country over which Theodore
Roosevelt as a young man ranged his
cattle and hunted wild game, and just
above the trails he followed while a
visitor in this district, mountain
one of the most lofty peaks in the
Black hills-became Mount Theodore
Roosevelt, in honor of the former Presi-
dent of the United States, ''The Great
American" on July 4. Two tablets
were unveiled.
To witness the ceremony thousands
of Americans from all parts of the
country came to Deadwood. Governor
Norbeck of South Dakota presided at
the ceremonies on the summit Of the
mountain, and Major General Leonard
Wood was the orator of the day. The
ARRANGEMENTS were under direction of
the Society of the Black Hills Pho
neers, of which Colonel Roosevelt was
one of the two honorary members.
The movement to provide the me-
mortal had it's inception at a meeting
of the Society of Black Hills Pioneers
last January, when a suggestion of
Captain Seth Bullock plan to change
the name of sheep mountain to that
iof Mount Theodore Roosevelt, was
adopted.
Sheep Mountain, one Of the highest
peaks in the Black Hills, and the high
est detached peak in the chain Of
mountains so designated, lies three
miles from Deadwood. 1t is accessible
to its summit by broad highway, suit
able for teams or automobiles, while
several trails, safe and convenient for
Ihorsemen or persons on foot, lead to
the top of the mountain. From it's
summit the neighborinig states of wy
oming and Montana are visible. The
view from the top is unsurpassed for
beauty in this section of the country.
The city of Deadwood is bearing the
expense entailed by the erection on
the summit of the mountain of a round
tower on which will be placed the
bronze tablet bearing the legends tell
ing a part of the life of Theodore
Roosevelt and his contribution to
Americanism. One of the tablets
