PREDICTS FRISCO
 FORREDS TODAY
Former Lieutenant Saw Red Demonstration In
 France a Year Ago

"The Associated Press story carried by The Age-Herald today covering the May Day Murder Plot as revealed by the Attorney General. reveals a situa- ton so like that which prevailed in Paris just a year ago that it is remark able" says former Lieut.. G. Lewis Bailes.
 1.-TWO or three days perore Labor Day. which is May 1 in France, depart mental and municipal authorities in the larger cities were instructed that well organized scheme was on foot and would be sprung during the May Day and Labor Day celebrations. There were stories afloat that Clemenceau. President Poincare, Marshal Foch and others had been placed on the red list and were to be dispatched by the reds on that day.
 q left DiJon on April 30. just a year ago today, and arrived in Paris the same day My first thought next morning was to hurry out on the street to witness as much of the expected ex- citement as possible. It happened that the first acquaintance I saw down in the lobby of the Louve hotel was Maj. Walter Brewer. We hadn't seen eacn other before during our stay in France We celebrated the accidental meeting and the gala day by Joining the throngs wherever they were congre- gated on the streets and keepingx up with the paraders as they went here and there as close to the public build ings as the gendarmes would allow them and us. The reds wore small Dbows of red ribbon in their lapels. There were many street fights, a great deal of shooting and lots of knife work here and there, but in nearly every case iAwas by and between the reds themselves.
 "Of course. police and military au- thorities had taken every precaution to avoid the trouble which was promised. Cordons of police and soldiers abso- lutely closed many of the main streets and hedged public places about with lines of bayonets. Machine gun nests had been placed on the roofs of build ings and concealed in upper story win dows nearly everywhere. Fortunately it turned out that it was not necessary to unlimber these in any instance that day.
 "Doubless the same precautions will be taken in the various cities in Ameri ca today and that the red programme will fail of execution here just as it failed in France then. That today will be white May Day and not Ted one in peace-ls=ing America, is my predic- tiOn."

RAY OF HOPE FOR l THE INLAND CANAL Waterway Between Mobile and Pensacola to Be Con-
 sidered Soon
of Birmingham, Ala. Statement February 2sth, 1920.
 EcOITRCEQ

Advocates of the proposed inland ship lanai connecting Mobile bay and Fen acola bay have gained a point in thelr fight to have the canal built.
 General Manager Charles F. Wood or he Port of Birmingham Corporation, who has been taking a lively interest n the matter for some time past, re- &eived a telegram from Washington yes yerday stating that the board of engi- heers on rivers and harbors will hear . he advocates of the canal on May 20, in Washington.
 | The building of this canal has been agi- ; Zated for several years. Government Engineers, after surveying the route of she proposed canal and the trade possi- bilities made an adverse report, based bn their contention that the amount Of Shipping available would not justify the Expenditure of the sum required to build he canal.
 The engineers report estimated the cost # the canal at close to s2,0c0Oo0, and they Btated that it would have to depen1 largely. if not solely on Birmingham coal or it's revenues.
 Following the filing of the engineers eport a month or two ago, MT Wood, Tn
 written protest, asked for an opportu- lity ito be heard on the matter and the elegraphic notice received yesterday is in esponse to that request.
 It Is stated that several Birmingham pal operators are ready to ship bunker ge seoal to Pensacola and Tampa, just soon as barges can make those ports, ndg hat they have markets for the coal Ehensyer it can be delivered there.
 Theie are also number of manufac-
 rers Yin Birmingham who ship some or heir products to the Florida ports and Vho would like to use the Warrior river, hut the inability ci river barges to make he open sea trip between Mobile and fensacola and Tampa prevents shipping y the water route at present.
 NIr Wood is anxious to get in commit kcation with all such manufacturers and
 er shippers with the view to securing
 ystenfss. bling data to be presented to
 board of engineers at the hearing on
 ' 25
 11e already has in hand data sufficient b show that the proposed canal would be
 commercial success from the financial Viewpoint, but he wants to make the best possible showing and therefore he re- uests all who are likely to ship through he proposed canal to get in communica- lon with him at once.
