Neu Slogan

Here in Birmingham
when anything out of the
ordinary is to be done in the
insurance line, they don't
say, LET George do it.
They say, LET Awtrey do
it" - meaning James H.
Awtrey, manager of the
Trustees System Insurance
Department.
And Awtrey does it.
Of course, Awtrey can't
insure property against fire.
Nobody can. Fires will
come, no matter what the in
surance.
But he can and does in
sure the owners Of the prop
erty, whether the property is
a business block, a home,
household furnishings or an
automobile - against loss
from fire.
And when the fire comes
and it's time for adjustment,
you're fortunate if you hold
an Awtrey-written policy, so
you can say, "Let Awtrey
do it."
Before the fire, when the
policy is first written, Awt-
rey protects the interests of
his companies. He is care
full about his moral risks.
After the fire, he protects
the interests of his policy
holders. He is careful to
see that their loss is paid
fully and promptly.
No one questions the wis
dom of fully protecting
everything they have against
fire loss and of having their
policies written by an agency
that knows how.
U n lie S s>everything you
have is fully covered, and
unless you have full conf
dence in the agency that
wrote your policies, it is
about time you were joining
the hundreds of other Biz
mingham people who 'Let
Awtrey do it."

GERMAN PEOPLE FAVORED
RUTHLESS WARFARE

Ambassador Henry Morgenthau
says in the Worlds Work that Won
Jagow told him in February, 1917.
thai the German government would
promptly fall If it should admit that
the sinking of the Lusitania was an
illegal act. Mr.. Morgenthau thus re-
ports the interview which took place
in Berlin:
But you must give definite assur-
ances that you are sorry for the act"
l said, Say that you regard it as an
improper one, and that it will not &C.
cur again. Unless you do this, the
United States will not be satisfied"
I'VE cannot do that" he answered.
Public opinion in Germany would
not permit it. If we should make a
declaration such Is you outline, the
present cabinet would fall"
But I thought that you had pub
lie opinion here we'll under CONTROL
I answered. "It may take a little
time. but certainly you can change
public sentiment so that it would ap-
prove such a settlement"
A far as the newspapers are con-
cerned," said voR~ Jagow, that is
true. We can absolutely control them.
But there r members Of. parliament
whom we can't control and they
would make SO much trouble that we

WILSON MADE
ROME CITIZEN
President Feels Highly Hon
: ored When Citizenship ,
is Conferred.

Rome, Friday. Jan. 3.-President
Wilson became a citizen of Rome to-
night. The ceremony took place in the
historic capitol, designed by Michael
Angelo and redolent with suggestions
Of ancient and medieval Rome. AS
sisting in the services were King Vic
tor Emmanuel Inc Queen Helena,
members of the Italian cabinet, men,
bers of the diplomatic corps, including
Ambassador and Mrs. Thomas Nelson
Page and municipal and military au-
thorities.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson, accompanied
capitol after the dinner at the Quirin-
al. At the conclusion of the ceremony
IN which he became a citizen of Rome,
Mr.. Wilson spoke as follows:
You have done me q very great
honor. Perhaps you can imagine what
q feeling it Is for a citizen of one Of
the newest Of the great nations to be
IS a distinction which Il am sure you
are comforting upon me as a repre-
sentative Of the great people for
whom I speak. One who has been a
student Of history can not accept an
honor of the sort without having his
memory run back to the extraordi-
nary series of events which have CEN
tered in this place.
But as I have thought today, I
have been impressed by the contrast
between the temporary and perma-
nent things. Many political changes
have conferred about Rome, from the
time when from a little city she grew
to be mistress of a great empire.
Change after change has swept away
many things, altering the very form
of her affairs, but the thing that has
remained permanent has been the
spirit Of Rome and the Italian peo-
pie. That spirit seems to have caught
with each age the characteristic pur-
pose of the age.
This imperial people now gladly
This people which at one time seemed
to conceive the purpose Of governing
the world now takes part in the liber-
al enterprise of offering the world its
own government. Can there be a finer
or more impressive illustration of the
indestructible human spirit and of the
uncomfortable spirit of liberty?
II have been rejecting in these re-
cent days about a colossal blunder
which has been made-the blunder of
force by the central empires. If Ger
many had waited a single generation
she would have had a commercial
willing to conquer by skill, by enter
prise, by commercial success. She
must needs attempt to conquer the
world by arms, and the world will
always acclaim the TACT that it is i'm
possible to conquer by arms; that the
only thing hat conquers is the sort
of service which can be rendered in
trade, in intercourse, in friendship
and that there is no conquering pow

Headed by Townley, League
I Leaders Confer in
Secret.
(By Staff correspondents

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. t4.-Although
the opening of the sixteenth legislative
assembly is blu three days off, very
little is known Of the program Of the
Nonpartisan League will attempt to
y across. A. C.. Townley. his chief
Howard Wood, lieutenant governor:
T.. L: Stair, the league floor leader in
the house two years ago; j. w. Brin-
ton, head of Townley's Consumers
United Stores Co.; Walter Thomas
Mills, socialist writer m speaker. and
under indictment for d%isloyalty, and
other members Of the inner circle are
here, holding daily and nightly con-
%ferences. B..
AS o o as they arrive, the dyed-in-
wool league legislators are taken into
conference, and evidently sworn to
silence. "None of them knows any,
thing" as to program.
Brinton volunteered information
Yesterday that the biggest gathering
of newspaper men in the state would
be on the job some time during the
session. When we introduce u news
paper program, they will be here he
said. When asked what they contem-
plated, he said that the proposed to
give the country newspaperman a
square deal. Corridor gossip is to the
effect that the league contemplates
\making one newspaper in each county
the legal paper Of the printed official
proceedings. The league papers of
course, would fare we'll under this
program.
Much interest is being shown in the
report of the budget board. The re-
port is not ready to be submitted.
The board plans to place all state
educational institutions on the same
basis so-far as maintenance funds are
concerned, as the board of control has
of the institutions. AS it is now, edu-
cational institutions receive mainten-
ance money from several different
sources, such as appropriations, tut
ton, etc. And no accounting is made
to the state auditor or treasurer as
ITO how much money from. some of
these sources is spent. The plan is to
make the state treasurer custodian of
all funds.
There is much talk of a. state bank
law and an employers liability act,
but no n seems able to give any in
formation as to the plans of leaders.
The question Of committee appoint
ments also is receiving much atten-
cation is available. Lieutenant Cover
nor Wood said tonight that the sem
ate committees probably will not be
announced until the Halmilton-McKen-
dali contest over the seat is decided.
Walter Maddox of Mountrail coun-
ty, is being doomed by many as the
speaker of the house. Townley is said
to favor Stair of But:ineau, his chief
lieutenant in the house Swo years ago,
but he is an unpopular choice with the
rank and file Of the legislators. Bow
man of Kuhn, also is being talked Of
but he is said to favor Maddox.

"FED UP" oN>EMPIRE BUSINESS.

Mark Sullivan in Golfers: Great
Britain is a little fed up" as the
English say, with the empire bust
ness. She is fed up with the poetry
of the farflung frontier and the land
that the sun never sets on. She Is
not sure that she wants to go on with
the world responsibilities she already
has, the governing of that large por-
ton of the worlds population which
composes her colonies, the work of
administration for the backward and
semi-civilized peoples Of the earth;
and she is quite sure that she doesn't
want to take on, alone, the additional
responsibilities Of the German col
onies. ;
That these colonies must not be
handed back to Germany she is quite
positive, as everyone is who knows
the circumstances. But she would be
glad to turn over her individual ma
tional responsibility to a trusteeship,
that trusteeship to I've so small as a
partnership of herself and her domin-
ion, like Canada and Australia, with
the United States; or so large as a
League Of Nations, whichever of the
two may be brought about. She would
have herself and US. or a larger
League of Nations, do Jointly what
she now does alone with respect to
Egypt, India, and the like.

ment, but merely to illustrate the
