This great confer ence at this time surrendered it's inter est in Southern university to the Ala bama conference and founded Birming- ham college on a splendid campus of 6S acres, which is now the geographical center of Birmingham.

The history of Birmingham Southern college dates from 1856. During it's 60 years of service it has, in men and women of character and efficiency, con tributed much to the public service of both church and state, not only in Ala bama and the south, but throughout the nation.

Congress Success:

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 2.-The
second day of the Pan-American Aero
nautical Congress was marked by the
receipt of cablegram from Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels, expressing the
hope that the congress would prove a
success. Several meetings were held
during the day to take up matters Of
interest in connection with the develop
ment of commercial aviation.
W. w. Young of the Engineers Club,
of New York, declared that national
and international laws must govern the
operation of all aircraft. State legis-
lation, he said, was impracticable.
There will have to be a new set
of laws governing the operation of air
craft" said Mr.. Young Among other

Only IS P. C. of Original
Rainbow Men Return
Nearly All of $4,000 Back Were
Wounded; 10000 Re-
placements

WASHINGTON, May 2-Only about
35 per cent of the more than
$4,000 men comprising the AID Grain
bow, Division as it returned from
France, were members of the original
division as organized at Camp Mills, ~
T., to embark for the front. Prac-
tically all of these men, it was learned
to-day, have been wounded or other
wise incapacitated during the months
of service. They had been returned to
the division from hospitals and rest
camps, and when the division received
orders for home special effort was
made to get together all the original
Rainbow personnel who had survived
the rigors of the campaign.
The intense activity Of the division
during the fighting is shown by the
number of replacement troops which
passed through its muster rolls dur
ing that period. This number is placed
by officers of the division at approx
mately $1,000 men, against the full war
strength of 27,500. Each time it was
"ltndraWn Tor rest 1t was necessary
practically to reconstitute the divs-
IONS personnel because of casualties.
Toward the end of the fighting, how
ever, many of the men sent forward
IN requirements were original mem
bers of the Rainbow Division, who had
recovered and returned to duty. This,
officers say, accounted for the per-
centagc of its original rolls, which
came back with the organization.

Boat1nen Threaten
To Join Strike of
Freight Handlers
Strikers Urged by Leaders
Not To BE Dislleartened
by Presence of Workers
OH the Piers They Left

Thomas l.. Delahunty, president of
the Marine Workers Attiliation, told
mass meeting of striking freight han
dlers at Thirtieth Street and Tenth
Avenue yesterday noon that unless
some arrangement is affected by
Thursday next by which the private
boat owners will agree to meet repre-
scntatives Of the affiliation to adjust
wages and working conditions they
might expect the marine engineers,
masters mates and pilots and harbor
boatmen to be on strike with them.
"Meantime," said he, "you can bank
on it that strike breakers will not be
moved on any boat towed by union
men. Unionism will not be destroyed
III this port without fight"
f. Paul A. Vacarelli, leader of the
strikers, told the men not to be wor-
ried by the presence Of men on the
piers.
"They are not there to work" he
said, "and you know it and the rail
roads know it. If the roads can pay
them $3.50 for the hours you ask, and
feed them besides, they can poy you Sd
q day and let you feed yourselves"
According to Mr.. Vacarelli not more
than 1000 men are now engaged on the
fifty seven piers of the companies af-
fected.
"a. 7. Hardin, the assistant regional
director, told me before the strike" he
said, that on New York Central, Erie
and West Shore piers alone 2193 men
went to work at 7 in the morning, $500
at 8, IA at 1880 and 424 at 8, or nearly
$500 men. Less than half of this num-
ber are at work on all of the piers. In
all close to $4,000 men are out. They
are handling very little freight, for the
freight is not coming here to handle.
The men realize that sooner or later it
must como here, and they are content
to wait"
At the offices of the railroad admin
istration yesterday it was stated that
everything was running smoothly. There
were plenty of men at work, it was said.
1t was further stated that the strike
was nothing more than union fac
tional fight between Vacarelli and T.

The Aroostook Reaches
Newfoundland. With Sup

Commission Craft To-day
Final Tests Being Made
i'll Preparation for First
Leg of Trip Next Week

ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 2.-The ar
rival of the United States minelayer
Aroostook, with the beach crew of the
NC flying boats, at Trepassey to-day
placed the United States navy in the
position of real factor in the transat-
lantic flight.
1t became known to-day that the
navy was placing its meteorological
data at the disposal of the two rival
British contestants. This was done in
view of the delays to the British Air
Ministry's data, and also to lend a
sporting interest to the flight.
ABOARD TIE U. S. S. PRAIRIE AT
SEA, May 1.-The United States supply
ship Prairie, which will act as base ship
to the transatlantic flight, is nearing
the Newfoundland coast. The ship has
two ME' flying boats on board, which
will be used to test the air at Trepassey
and collect meteorological data. The
officers, men and equipment for this pur-
pose are on board.

to-day.

1t is expected that the first landing
after leaving Rockaway Point, Long
J,lo ~ @,.;o ;cl,+ 10
land will be made at the American
aviation base on the east shore of the
harbor. This was maintained during
the war under direction of Commander
John II. Towers, now in charge of the
contemplated expedition. The United
States cruiser Baltimore arrived here
day to act as base ship to the flight.
The three giant naval flying boats
of the NC Seaplane Division One will
be formally commissioned at II o'clock
this morning at Rockaway. This unprec-
edented ceremony will mark the last
stage in the preparations for their
flight across the Atlantic. According
to the best available information the
flight will start at o'clock Tuesday
morning should the weather conditions
be favorable. This will make the
United States navy a real factor in
the race across the Atlantic.
The NC-1, which has been undergoing
a process of reconstruction, is now COM
pleted and will be ready to fly to-day
This means that all three of the huge
aircraft arc practically ready for the
tremendous project.
To-day's ceremony at the Rockaway
naval air station will be one of the
most remarkable and impressive in the
annals of the navy.
The eighteen men who form the
three crews of the giant aircraft will
be lined up outside the NC hangar
There the seaplanes also will be placed
A bugle will sound a call, and the
Stars and Stripes will break out over
