MEET TODAY ID FORM ANSWER ID
 RED PROPOSALS Finnish, Lettish and Ru- manian Delegates Have Already Arrived in
 Warsaw

Warsaw. March "A formal confer ence to frame the answer of Poland and the border states to the soviet peace proposals will open Monday. but prelim- mary meetings already have been held by the military chiefs to consider thor oughly the plans made previously for de- fensive warfare in the event the peace negotiations fail.
 The Finnish, Lettish and Rumanfan delegates are here and the Ukrainians are expected soon. There is a possibil- ity that Lithuania and eventuany -s- thonia will participate in the conference, which, it is generally believed, will de- termine Poland's next move in her stand against bolshevism.
 Diplomats here say the opening of ne- gotiations between Poland and the soviet government hinges on the Polish de- rnands for restitution and damages since the partition of the territory in 1772. An unofficial dispatch from Moscow says the bolsheviki already have taken an at- titude intimating they have no desire even to open negotiations if Poland Ge- mands the frontier of 14S years ago, as outlined by the Polish Diets foreign commission.
 Should Poland insist on this demand and the bolsheviki refuse to- acquisce, diplomats nefe say IL would mean con tiruance of the present situation. The Poles are said to be determined to take scme definite action within few weeks.
 It is understood the peace programme which is to be presented to the confer ence Monday will be submitted to the al- lied powers for approval. The border states are said to be eager to reach a decision, particularly because of the ap- proach of spring, when the long adver- tised bolshevik offensive against them is due to commence.

TALLADEGA

Talladega, March 7.--(Special) )--What is believed to be one of the very largest deals in cotton ever made by a farmer in this county has been consummated in this city in the sale of 4t9 bales of coteon by w. M. Franke and w. D. Smally to John Wooten, manager of the Talladega Bonded Warehouse The cotton, which represents the 1918 and 1919 crops from the Franksdale farm four miles east of the city, brought approximately 50, 0o0. Mir Wooten has in turn disposed of the entire lot of cotton to Well Bros. of Montgomery, whose graders have been in the city the past two days receiving the cotton.
 Talladega county's first execution un- der the new dog law was made Friday, when a stray dog with no license tag was shot by Sheriff J. c. Cornett. While 50 cents is allowed for each execution, Sheriff Cornett says it is poor business since he is compelled to pay sirr>lar amount to have the dog dragged away and inferred. The sheriff declares, now ever, that he will perform his duty, even If there is no pleasure and compensa- tion attached, and that every unlicensed and tagless dog with which he meets will be annihilated.

Berger As Radical Aset

Samuel Crowther. in the Worlds Work.
 It is difficult to discover among the radicals an overwhelming love for Berger. They very generally dislike him because he does not seem to stand for anything in particular. Berger as a citizen is nothing. Berger, refused seat in Congress and then reelected is splendid advertising asset It is d peculiar tendency of the radical mind continuously to play with fire and then howl about getting burned, but after each burn comes bitterness that seems to shove man little bit farther along toward the extreme group which advocates violence.

For the Good of
 the Community

1.-TWO or three days ago attention was called to the apparent apathy to- wards the proposed auditorium. 1t was stated in these columns that although the voters had authorized the sale of S5OO,- 900 worth of bonds several months ago and that the sum of S250, 900 to be raised by popular subscription was proposed for the first ten days of March, they seemed to have been forgotten.
 Now Mr. Morris w. Bush, chairman of the composite committee made up Of representatives of the various civic and commercial organizations of the city, states that a great deal of work has al ready been done, and that it will be only a few days until the people of BTming- ham will be advised definitely as to the plans.
 Mir. Bush has been at the head of number of committees to put over big things in Birmingham. He is a successful business man, at the head of several big corporations, and the people believe in him.
 That he has been working on the audi torium proposition no one will question: and they know the work is being well done.
 All that Birmingham asks is that the auditorium be built, and this sentiment was but voiced in these columns.
 MT. Bush states that Birmingham peo- ole are public spirited-just as public spirited as are the people of any other community, and that they are now ready to undertake big things for Birmingham. There is no doubt of this. They just need a little spurring up, a little encouT- .agement and an active and energetic leader. They have the leader in this movement. Mr. Bush could not be inn proved upon.
 He is successful in his own business af- fairs, he has been successful in the man. agement of number of community mat ters and he will be notably successful in the auditorium campaign.
 In speaking of the auditorium project Mir. Bush stated a day or two ago that Blr- mingham people had been so busy de- veloping their own business that they had not had time to do anything really big for the city, but that they have progressed with their own affairs to the point where they are now ready to take up the big things for Birmingham
 There is no question but the business and professional men of Birmingham can achieve big things for the city. All that is necessary is to interest them; to get them to work together.
 Results obtained in the war activities demonstrate what they can do when they get together, pull together and set their minds on the accomplishment of some thing that counts.
 They will make Birmingham big and great; they will put her in the forefront of American cities and they will do 1t by uniting and cooperating and working under the leadership of such men as MT. Bush.
 The auditorium is coming. It will be built and ready for conventions. and con certs and grand operas in another year

Says Alabama Does
 Not Want McAdOO

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The cartoon in this mornings Age Herald accurately represents the situa- tion, if MT. Harper had only placed the 'blindfold' on the Alabama delegation, substituting said delegation for w. J. Bryan. The Alabama delegation at San Nrancisco imagine that it constitutes the democratic party in Alabama, when, as a matter of fact, only a lot of pap sucking pot hunters is represented some members of said delegation the writer can name, with specifications and proof, if desired, have sold the people of Alabama in the past, and will do so again, if the party is committed to W. G. McAdoo for President.
 I am inclined to think, however, that the gentlemen will not ask for informa- tion, as they are like the fellow who came home late at night and his wife informed him that he was drunk. He replied that her information was an eff fort of supererogation, as he was fully aware of the fact.
 Our delegation at San Francisco makes the same mistake as did MT. Will scA at Versailles. He imagined that he was the American people and his ipse dixit was law, but a majority of the American people do not agree with him in this opinion. The fact that we had a league of states, the population being of the same blood, did not prevent the bIoodiest war ever recorded, numbers engaged in battle taken into considera- tion.
 That MT. McAdoo has only the radical element of organized labor, with the politicians and demagogues behind his candidacy, is amply attested by the fact that the conservative members of the brotherhoods, together with business men and farmers throughout the state, say openly and above board that they xzyiI onf nnn fha 6or tia tnlr with MT. McAdoo heading the ticket.'' The writer is in touch every day with bankers, manufacturers, wholesale men and farmers and therefore knows how the people who constitute the democrat ic party think and feel.
 The party lash has no longer any terrors for the average man in Alabama, and throughout the south, and it is therefore not incumbent on the demos cratic party to ndorse MT. Wilson's at titude on the League of Nations MT. Wilson does not indorse. by large ma jority'' everything he has said and done in the past, as has been clearly demon- strated. It is possible that the world will continue to move. and altogether probable that it will have to. without a League of Nations according to Mir Wilson's specifications.
 There are some high-class, patriotic men on the Alabama delegation at San Francisco, but they are mistaken if they think Alabamians want McAdoo for President. G. T. MELDERRY.

 DEMOCRATIC HOSTS SEND GREETING ID PRESIDENT WILSON Praise His Achievements and Rejoice In Recovery of Presidents Health and
 Strength
By Associated Press

Auditorium, San Francisco, June 2S.- The democratic national convention today, on motion of Governor Gardner mings to send to President Wilson a message of their appreciation and greetings. The resolution was unapi- mously adopted by the convention
 The resolution, adopted just before adjournment, praised the achievements of the President in the conduct of the war; "rejoiced in the recovery of the Presidents health and strength" and deeply resented the malignant on- set" of the Presidents partisan foes.
 The telegram to the President sent by Chairman Cummings follows:
 Tn recognition of the fact that the mantle of Jackson and Jefferson has fallen on your shoulders as the unques- tioned leader of our party, the hosts of democracy in national convention assembled, have directed me to send you the following resolution of appre- ciation and greetings:
 'The democratic party, assembled in national convention, extends to the President of the United States its admiring and respectful greetings.
 For seven of the most fateful years in the history of our country, Woodrow Wilson has occupied, and his character, learning and power have adorned the highest office in the gift of his coun- trymen.
 He has initiated and secured the adoption of great progressive meas ures of immeasurable value and bene- fit to the people of the United States.
 As the commander in chief of the army and navy of the United States, he has led the patriotic forces of his country through the most momentous struggle in history, and without check, reverse or retardation. to an honorable part in the immortal victory for lib erty and democracy won by the free nations of the world.
 '.We hail these achievements, sir, and are proud that they have been accom- plished under your administration.
 "We rejoice in the recovery of your health and strength after months of suffering and affliction which you have borne with courage and without complaint.
 We deeply resent the malignant on- set which you have most undeservedly been called upon to sustain from par tisan foes whose judgment is warned and whose perceptions are obscured by a party malice which constitutes a. lamentable and disgraceful page in our history.
 At this moment, when the delegates to this convention from every state in the union are about to enter upon their formal proceedings, we pause to send an expression of cheer and admir- ation and of congratulations.
 We rejoice and felicitate you upon your speedy recovery from your illness and congratulate America that though temporarily broken in body you have been able with unclouded vision .and undaunted courage to press on for the great reforms which you have fathered for the preservation of peace Gthroughout the world in the interest of humanity and the advancement of civilization. Long may you live to serve Amereica and the world"
