Mexico City May 11.-(Via Fl Paso Junction. May 16.)-In a statement att tributed to Gen. Pablo Gonzalez, the newspaper Fl Universal, In an extra edi- tion this (Tuesday) afternoon, says Con zalez practically recognizes" the plan of Agua Prieta."

, living has made it imperative that they earn more than their salaries.
 It is probable that Governor h.aoy will appoint successor to Judge Merrill
 as soon as he receives the resignation.
 The judge was appointed by Governor ONeal ten years ago and subsequently,
 was twice elected by the people His present term has three additional years
 to run. It is probable that dozen prominent lawyers of the Seventh circuit will apply for he vacant post
 Mir. Blackmon has served ten years Tn Congress and on March 4, 1921, will en-
 ter upon his Sixth term. His course ln Congress has been independent and con-
 servative and in consequence he has en- countered the opposition of political pro
 hibtionists and labor unionists, which opposition he has always managed 10 oVercome.f His most cohsplcuous ol many achievements for his district was his inducement of the government to purchase the large acreage on which
 Camp Mcclellan, as permanent post or the army, was subsequently, constructed. It is regarded as highly probable that to succeed MT. Blackmon at least one
 man from each county of the Fourth dis trict will immediately begin grooming himself In this connection it is said to be highly probable that Governor kllpy, himself will seek the honor.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE RENEWED
Local Committees Take the Field With New VigOr in
 Effort to Raise Quota

All committees in charge of the Sal vation Army home service fund cam paign will start out this morning with renewed vigor. Birmingham s quota of $40 0O00 hasn't been raised yet but it is going to be real soon if hard work has anything to do with it, mem bers of the committees promise.
 Plans for vigorous drive through out the week are being made, and the committees hope that by the end of the week the goal will be at least in sight.
 The Salvation Army is raising the money for service right here at home Officials of the army announce that so per cent of the money given by the citizens of Birmingham will be spent here in the city.
 If Birmingham reaches its quota of s40,00 it will mean that solocita- tion by Salvation lasses on the street for the worthy cause will be no more. Their time will then be taken up car ing for the sick and needy, and in doing good where they are most needed.
 The Salvation Army home service fund drive was first set back by the storm that swept Alabama and Mis- sissippi and other parts of the south. Members of the Salvation Army laid aside their plans for the drive and forgot everything for the time being in their effort to help the distressed people in the storm swept territories
 Then the election gave them an other setback, so it is just now tha they are beginning to start the drive in earnest.
 Big citizens committees and com mittees from the various civic organi- u. drive so as to make Birmingham proud of herself and glad that its citizens contri buted to the greatest cause in the world

 Hugh D. Merrill will immediately for ward to Governor Kilby his resignation as judge of the Seventh judicial circuit.
 Representative Fred L. Blackmon of the Fourth Alabama district, who was renominated May 11,( will not resign his seat in Congress, but there is no ques- ton but that he will not ask for an- other term.
 But for the pendency of several matters of great importance 10 his district and state, it is probable that he would mol await the conclusion of his term. The announcement of the above facts, which will cause great interest through
 out Alabama, was made today in Wash irgton by Judge Merrill, wbo, en route to New York, stopped here to interview MT. Blackmon.
 Judge Merrill stated that he and Mir

 era wherein shall dwell righteousness and peace.
 God does not raise up nation to go strutting and selfish forgetfui of the high interests of humanity. Ma tions can no more live to themselves than can an individual We are bound UP together in the big bundle of human life, and every day that comes and sees binds the world more closely and more intimately in enc great family of peoples.
 "The nation that walks the path of selfishness is nation that shall finally be doomed. The nation that asks the old murderous question of Cain, Am I my brothers keeper? the question of the profiteer and the ques- ton of the stacker, that nation is marked for decay an1 death.
 Tennyson believed in a League of Nations. And a League of, Nations, if 1t does not come today, will as mex crsbly come tomorrow as that God is on his throne"
 DAY OF WORSHIP
 Convention business was suspended today and the Sunday was devoted to worship. Baptist preachers, by invita- tioii. occupied Protestant pulpits of all d. nominations throughout the city. but the principal event of the day waa the mass meeting on the east front of the capitol of the United States Thousands were gathered in close knit throng to hear pr. Truett speak.
 Baptists have always been in the va of the fight for religious liberty nr. Truett declared, and their prin- cll1es have always demanded the tol2 eration of the beliefs of others. Each ri1n's salvation mus come through Christ he said.
 Tracing the history of the battle for religious freedom, Dr. Truett told the long story of religious prosecutions that it began in the old world and came to the shores of America. where 1t was finally overcome by the separa- tion of church and state. one of the Fundamental principles of the Baptist denominat tion.
 This separation must go on forever, he asserted.
 Baptists must keep up the strug- gle with the forces of liquor, he said, though "the American salodH has gone au6 gone to stay.'
 Sessions of the seventy-fifth annual convention are expected to be brought to a close tomorrow and the work of the messe ngers completed until they ritet again in Chattanooga in 1921.

 Senate omission of the House pro- vision making the resolution inopera- i've as to Germany unlesss that coun- try formally gives to the United States all rights and privileges that might have accrued to this country had It ac- cepted the peace treaty.

It's Not All Gold
That Glitters
BY c. o. HALL.

Its not all gold that glitters.
Nor all diamonds that sparkle and
shine;
For many poor hearts have been
broken
By the things that seem so nne.
There's lure in the lights on Broad
way.
There's a thrill when the band goes
by;
Then when the music is ended
There's heartache. a tear and a
sigh.
SO why do we crave the bright lights.
Why not take them iust as they
come
For we find they stand about equal
When we figure them up in a sum.
No. IT'S not all gold that elitters,
Nor an diamonds that sparkle and
shine:
Then why let your heart be troubled
Over things that seem so fine.
