Hamburg American line interests in this couetry, to visit Germany to investigate the proposition. Upon Mir. Sickels re- port contract was prepared between the shipping board and the Hamburg American line with the idea of reopen ing some of the trade routes formerly operated by the Hamburg in terests, but in q purely American way.
 After careful consideration, Chairman Benson concluded: The shipping board, while still favorable to the general idea, decided that it would be better in the long run if the agreement were made between the Hamburg American line and a private American company rather than the shipping board be direct party to such contract, but at the same time be prepared to assist the American end if such an arrangement could be con- summated."

ALABAMA SENATOR'S INVITED ID STATE HARBORS MEETING
Question of State Water ways Improvements and Furtherance of Seaport
 Campaign

The State Harbor Commission has in- vited Senators Oscar w. Underwood and B. B. Conner, Senator Elect J. Tom Heflin and all of the ten congressman of Alabama to attend the meeting of citizens that will be held at Montgomery September 16 for the purpose of organiz- ing the Alabama Waterways Association.
 Practically all of the members of the states delegation at Washington have expressed themselves as favorable to the development of the port at Mobile as a necessary part of the waterways develop ment for the entire state.
 The mass meeting at Montgomery will ways improvements, particularly with reference to present and future trans- portation problems, and at the same time will devise ways for the furtherance of the campaign now in progress to permit Alabama to aid the seaport with it's credit.
 Motion pictures now being taken of inn portant points on the Warrior, Coosa and Tennessee river systems, also at the ports of Mobile and New Orleans, will be shown at the Montgomery meeting, illus 5traing the need for modern seaport term inals.
 PHOTOGRAPHER ON JOB
 Sheridan McAuley, with the Hadcol Film Company, who was one of the fourteen motion camera men that got to fhe front line in France, is making the pictures, obtained excellent shots at the launching Saturday, when the steamship Montgomery City took the water at Mo- bile
 The commission has purchased two Ford cars, which will furnish transpor- tation and light for two of the TOUT reels now being made, and these VIII be shown in the smaller places, where there is no picture house. The other two reels will be shown in theatres over the state. Each of the Fords is being rigged with a new-type generator, which connects with the fan belt. A portable projector and a sheet for a screen completes the outfit.
 S C. Starke of Montgomery, who is or- ganizing the northern part of the state for the amendment, says that the peopie seem generally favorable to the plan, once it is made clear to them that the states credit and not the states money is desired that the control and develop ment of the seaport will not cost the tax payers one cent The following is the committee for the amendment in Blount county:

For the Good of
 the Community

BIRMINGHAM is an inland city, but it D has taken on sea legs. A ship bear ing it's name, made in Alabama waters of Birmingham steel, has carried six thou sand tons of Birmingham steel as far afeld as the limits of the earth allow.
 Sister ships of the same material and fabrication are taking Birmingham steel and south Alabama lumber to the con- tinent of Europe. The fleet is encircling the world and familiarizing the world with Birmingham and with Alabama
 Birmingham and Alabama products will travel with more economy, dispatch and in greater volume by means of ships made in our own waters of our own steel and issuing out of Alabama's port than by any other method. This is an American process from start to finish-from the ores and coal and limestone in Jefferson valley to the money that comes back to Alabama in return for her products.
 Hence all Alabamians rejoice that the American maritime flag is again on the high seas This small item under modest headline means more to America, to Ala bama, to Birmingham than the doings of all the politicians and the frenzied finan- ciers who occupy the limelight It reads thus:
 Over 60 per cent of the total cargo
 carried in vessels entering and leav-
 ing United States ports during the
 first six months of 1920 was in Amer
 ican bOttOmS
 Of 15,5 ,558 vessels aggregating 86,-
 931, 700 deadweight tons and carry
 ing 37, 1898, 1894 tons of cargo, Ameri-
 can ships numbered 9,550 with 51,-
 534,620 tons and carrying 22,724,-
 217 tons of freight
 This is the same as to say that Ameri- can goods are now being carried over the earth by friendly hands under friendly flag. Effort of Birmingham and Ala bama is to fit in with this world-envelop- ing march of American commerce so that it will receive it's full share of the benefit.
 It is to this end that Cordova, Birming- ham and Tuscaloosa have hitched on to the Warrior their outlet to the sea, and to this end that gallant little Demopolis is making a game effort to get on that stream Eutaw and Jackson have their eyes and resources looking to river terrni- nals. Up and down the stream it's poten- tialities are grasped by an intelligent people.
 These people not only descry the local advantage of tying to the river, but they look further to their common tide water entrepot and seek to make it the export and import gateway which nature has made potential, but which their energies alone will render practical and efficient
 The government spent S14,000,000 in converting the Warrior from an unruly succession of deep pools and shallow rap ids to canal four hundred and fifty miles long and navigable the year around. It gave us thirty feet of water at Mobile. It will have placed S3,000,000 worth of modern steel craft on the river and it will build $400,000 coal and ore terminal at Mobile.

In order to answer a large num-

emphasize that I have taken day
off from the Industrial conference in
Washington to come to New York
solely to attend pressing matters in
connection with the children's relief.
I want to say again: Have not

dency. I am not candidate. have
no organization No one is authorized
to speak for me politically.
GAS an American citizen by birth
and of long ancestery, am naturally
deeply interested in the present criti-
cal situation. My sincere and only
political desire is that one or both OF
the great political parties will ap-
proach the vital issues, which have
grown out OF the war and are now,
with a clear purpose looking to the
welfare Of our people and that candi.
dates capable of carrying out this
work should be nominated.
eff the treaty goes over to the
presidential election with any reserva-
tions necessary to clarity the worlds
mind that there can be no infringe
ment Of the safeguards provided by
our constitution and our nation old
traditions then I must vote for the
party that stands for the league. With
it, there is hope not only Of proven
ton of war, but also that we can
safely economic in military policies.
There is hope Of earlier returns OF
struction Of the world.
