been one of the notable weaknesses of the Kolchak government
 Admiral Kolchak still is at Novo Nj kolaevsk, where he is expected to re- main until the military situation clears up. At the present time the bolsheviki have advanced sixty miles east oi Omsk, the fartherest point of the ad- vance lying northeast of Tatarskaia.
 Efforts to reorganize the Kolchak armies there are meeting with some success. it is reported. Kolchak still has force of reserves which has not been utilized.
 Details from the retreat from Omsk show that the Reds captured approxi- mately 5000 railroad cars and eighty locomotives. Refugees experienced great hardships, being stalled for long periods in unheated box cars. The per sonnel of the ministry was 15 days or the road to Novo Nikolaevsk.
 A number of deaths occurred as a result of exposure. Locomotives run ming out of fuel and water stopped with several trains in the midst of the prairie where the weather was ex- tremely cold.
 The presence of approximately 20.ooo Czechs at Irkutsk is regarded as 2 guarantee that there will be no serious disturbances here over the political sit uation. This fact has impelled Ernest L. Harris American consul general who arrived today, to countermand or ders issued by Colonel George Emer- son of the American railroad mission directing the evactuation of Verkhni- udinsk of 40 American nurses still at Irlxutsk Thirty nurses already have left Orkutsk for the verkhnuidinsk

TREATY SITUATION
 SIMPLE, SAYSLODGE
It Can Be Passed Promptly If President Accepts Res
 ervations, Leader Says

Washington, November s0.-Senator Lodge, republican leader of the Senate, declared in a statement tonight he hoped to see prompt action taken on the treaty, but that if President Wilson still refused to accept reservations those determined to "Ame-icanize" it stood ready to meet him on that issue before the people.
 "The general feeling in Massachusetts is unnistakably one of great satisfaction that the treaty was not allowed to pass without the reservations put on by the Senate" Senator Lodge said. The sN- nation is perfectly simple. By declslVe rnaiorities the Senate put on IA reserva- tons. all designed solely to protect the safety, independence and sovereignty Of the United States. They did not nuili1y the treaty. They simply Americanized it. If the President had not interfered and issued orders against accepting the res ervations, the treaty would have been ratified with the reservations on Novem- Der 19 These reservations-the work of months-represent the views of the United States Senate and. in my judg- ment, of vast majority of the reople of the country. They constitute the ire ducible minimum. Tmmaterial verbal changes were both foolish and needless.
 If the President desires to have prompt ratification of the treaty with Germany he has only to accept the reservations as they stand. I hope prompt action will be taken, but if the President decides that he will not accept these reservations and insists upon carrying them over to the election, those who are determined that the treaty shall be Americanized stand ready to meet him on that issue before the people,

RECEIVE CAR IF REX ALL-SEASON
 TOPS FOR BUCKS

After a year of testing three Rex all season tops for Buick cars, the stamp of approval has been placed on them as being eminently worthy of upholding the good reputation of the Birmingham Mo tor company, and so there was little sur prise along auto row when Don Drennen, president and general manager of the company announced last week that a solid car load of these tops had been re- ceived and placed on sale.
 The Rex top is a semi-stationery closed car top, especially designed for all model Buick cars. Among the several features claimed for it may be mentioned two which stand out above all others; that it is so easily adjusted to the four seasons that there never arises the necessity of changing it, ard, that when applied to Buick none of the original beauty of the design is destroyed, but rather added lines of balance.
 With the coming on of winter, with all the rains, winds and snappy cold weather, there is little doubt that the car load of these tops will soon be ex- hausted, according to MT. Drennen.

New Buildings


 Birmingham sssSms1 ssss 5sss las sGas los9ss Florence 6 7,15o | 4Ooo Ms5a,:. Mobis s9ee 2os ls ,5s 5s's35 5as Sheffield ... 5375 In Birmingham scores of property own CTS are converting their homes, or other dwellings owned by them, into apart ments of from one to five or six apart ments each. The cost of these changes is small compared to the cost of new build ings, but they will relieve to a consider able extent the acute shortage of homes which has existed here for the past two years.
 Even at that, with the influx of new people who are coming here every day, the shortage cannot be materially lessened for long time. It is estimated that were there sufficient housing for all who want to come to Birmingham to live the popu- lation of the city at the census to be taken in January would be several thousand greater than it is likely to be under exist ing conditions
 Contractors and material men state that there is at present unusual demand upon them for the season with every pros pect of this condition continuing through the next year
 Property owners now probably realize that they did not act wisely last spring and summer in holding off new construc~ tion in the expectation of decreased wages and cost of materials Neither of these is less than year ago, and for some things even higher price has to be paid now than few months ago.
 Since the renewed building activities began in the summer 1t is estimated that several hundred dwellings and apart ment buildings have been erected and real estate agents state that the demand is just as great as ever.
 The number and cost of new construc- tion work in Birmingham almost equals the total number and value of that of the other seven cities included in MT. Cobbs' report combined, which shows that Bir- mingham is still setting the pace for the balance of the state.
 Since the compilation of the statistics reported by the federal reserve bank agent construction work has begun on a number of large new buildings in Bir- mingham, including two or three apart ment buildings costing between $50,0OO and $100000 each.
 Several other large apartment build ings are contemplated, reports recently current mentioning three or four to cost several hundred thousand dollars each.
 The year 1920 is likely to witness the greatest activity in new building construc- tion ever known in Birmingham, both in residential and business property. Sev- eral factory buildings also are mentioned as probabilities for the new year.
 And every new building contemplated or in prospect is badly needed to relieve the situation in Birmingham Several thousand new homes are immediately needed and as the population constantly increases the number of additional homes necessary to take care of them will in- crease.
 The plea put forward last spring that rental prices cd not justify the erection of new buildings does not hold today with rental values out of all proportion to sale values.
