KILBY DECLARES NOVEMBER Il 4
 STATE HOLIDAY
All Citizens Asked to Take Part in Celebration to Show Appreciation of Deeds

 Montgomery. November b.-(Spe- cial) )-Governor Kilby Saturday is- sued public statement. declaring Armistice Day. November II. a gem eraI holiday in Alabama and calling upon all citizens to take part in a celebration which will show the sol diers and sailors living that they ap- preciate their defense of the nation and will indicate their gratitude to those who gave their lives.
 Governor Kilby's act was in con formity with the general law enacted in 1e1a which provided that Armi stice Day should be an annual holi- day. His statement said that no true Americans could recall the trying days of the war and the wonderful result without showing spirit of thanksgiving as the anniversary of the end of the war approaches
 Governor Kitbys armistiee day statement follows:
 "As November n approaches there comes into the minds of all loyal Americans an indenble impression of the same date three years ago when the enemy of American institutions and the enemy of great majority of the nations of the world hodsted the white flag of surrender. placed his arms and ammunition at the feet of his conqueror and admitted fof the first time after four years of battle that might must bow 60 right.
 NO true American can ever forget the events of the world conflict, the days when American men were bat ting against heavy odds in land far away from native soil. the days when Americans gave their lives in defense of loved ones at homo and in defens of the principles upon which their country and their all had been builded for the future. the days when every report from the battle front. be it truth or rumor. brought sadness to many homes. brought joy to others and brought feeling of gratitude to kind Providence for His protection of great majority of American sol diers aud sailors.
 No true American can recall the thrill winch came with the reports from the battle of St Mihiel without saving again q word of thanksgiving. No American can recall the exploits of other Americans in the Argonne and at countless battle fronts with out paying tribute to those who pre- sented themselves for sacrifice on the altar of freedom.
 Now comes the time when all pa triots shall again pay tribute to the American dead and shall again give ] to the thousands who were permitted i to return an expression of an appree citation which cannot be said in words and which must come from the an nual demonstration In celebration of the end of the war.
 "In heartfelt remembrance of those who gave their lives and in grateful recognition of those who defended , America, and all democratic nations of the world, I, as governor of Ala bama, call upon all citizens of Ala bama to participate in the fourth celebration of the signing of the armistlee and, as provided by the law of Alabama, do declare November II. 1921, general holiday In Alabama"

BRYAN, THE ANTI-CLIMAx

From Henry Morgenthau's story of
 his experiences as American ann
 bassador to Turkey, in the Worlds
 Work
 I found the period of preparation (for his ambassadorship) intensely in- teresting. It was to be crowned In October, upon second visit 70 Washington, by an official call on the Secretary of State. l looked for ward to this visit with great expec- tations. Alas. for the. illusions which day can wreck! William Jennings Bryan was the Secretary of State. He knew no more about our rela- tions with Turkey than I did. The long-looked for instructions were an anti-climax. They were in full, as follows:
 'Ambassador,' he said. when l made my trip through the Holy Land, l had great difficulty in find ing Mount Beatitude. I wish you would try to persuade the Turkish government to grant a concession to some Americans to build macadam road up to it, so that other pilgrims may not suffer the inconvenience which I did in attempting to find it."

B|G FIVE THREATEN STRIKE UNLESS ALL
 AGREEMENTS KEPT
Circular Sent to Members Says Railroad Labor Board Will Be Held Strictly to
 Promises
By Associated Press

Cleveland November 5.-The big five railroad brotherhoods will revive the strike vote~snd use 1t If necessary if the promises of the railroad labor board made to the brotherhood chiefs just before the threatened general railroad strike was called off last week are not carried out, Is state ment contained in a memorandum which has been mailed to all general and local chairmen and members of the five organizations,
 The circular was sent out to mem bers of the Brotherhood of Locoino- tive Engineers Brotherhood of Loco motive Bremen and Enginemen, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, order of Railway Conductors and Switchmen's Union of North America. It Is signed by Warren s. Stone, pres ident of the engineers; W. s. Carter. president of the firemen; w. c. Lee, president of the trainmen; L. E. Shep- pard, president of the conductors, and T. c. Cashen. president of the switchmen. It was adopted at meet ing of the five chief executives here last Saturday following their return from Chicago.
 The threatened strike was called off, the memorandum asserts, when 1t became known thatg unless that action was taken not only the eXecI- tive officers of the brotherhoods, nut the general chairmen and local chair men, would be arrested on charges of conspiracy.
 Due to the memorandum of the la bor board (asserting that working rules and disputes would be disposed of before any further wage reduc- tions were considered). and the flr ther fact of the imminent arrest of the leaders, 1t was deemed best that the strike be called off" says the clr- cular.
 We think you can readily under stand what the effect would be If a strike were put on and all the ex- ecutive officers. general chairmen and local chairmen were arrested and no one left to direct the movements of the men or to advise them," the circular reads.
 Tt may he claimed by some that the promise made by the labor board will not be carried out" the circular continues. due to influences, and, in case this should come to pass, we would be in exactly the same posi- ton that we were in after the enact ment of the Adamson law in 191e. and the strike vote, which Is called off at the present time, will be revived and used if necessary"

HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN HAWAII

By Howard D. Case, Science Service
 Correspondence from Honolulu.
 Evidences of prehistoric glacial ac- tlvlty on Mauna Kea. the highest island mountain in the world, which towers 1s,S75 feet above sea level on the island of Hawaii, Hawaiian group, have been discovered by a party of scientists and laymen who recently climbed the mountain and spent two days looking for traces of glaciation among the valleys on its slopes. These traces were found in abundant measure.
 pr. Herbert E. Gregory of Yale university. director of the Bishop museum at Honolulu, and A. O. Burk= land of the United States Geological Survey were the scientists with the party.
 Doctor Gregory says that the party found the whole top of Mauna Kea to have been glaciated-that is, cove cred with ice--durlng the glacial period of the worlds history, roughly about 100, 900 years ago. He says the evidence lies not only In the boulders and other signs, but that the best proof is in the topography of the valleys around the summit. Ridges and valleys cut by moving ice have certain we'll defined characteristic distinct from those formed by the action of streams.
 'We went up one valley. over the summit. and spent the night the scientist explains. After that we went down into another valley. Both were well glaciated. We intend to follow up the study of the mountain from time to time until we have ex- amined all of the valleys. To make 6 complete picture and map show ing the extent and size of the gla- eiers. we will have to await the conn pletion of a topo.graphis survey which MT. Burkland will make on top of the mountain. When his survey Is finished we will then be able to con struct map which will restore the old glaciers and will show them to have been formed of ice a couple of hundred feet thick and from two to three miles long"
 For many years, he points out. sci- entists hay been curious as to whether the Hawaiian islands and other groups in the Pacific took part in the. glacial priod. If they did the climate of the entire racific area must have been much colder than ot present--so cold. in fact. that no coral could grow in the sea at that time.
 "1f there is any place in the Pacific where glacial traces exist" Doctor Gregory continues, "Mauna Gea must be 1t, as the mountain Is 13.S75 feet high, exceeding any other peak in the Pacific. Away back years ago this question was agitated. Tn 1908 Prof. Reginald Daly of Harvard came out to the islands to make a Study of coral reefs. He climbed Mauna Gea and saw what he thought were traces of glaciation. When he went away he asked me to look into this de- tail In an effort to determine what the field was and how far 1t ex- tended. Prof William A. Bryan. for merly with the University of Hawaii. also noted evidence of glaciation when he made study of Mauna Kea several years ago. We went up a few days ago and found that the eh 7 tire top of the mountain has been glaciated from the 13,000-f foot eleva- tion down to about 11.2o0 feet"

SYNOD|CAL MEET
 AT AUBURN ENDS
One of Outstanding Addresses Was That of Dr. Spright
 DoWeIl

Auburn. November .-(SpeciaI)- The fourteenth annual meeting of the Alabama Synodical auxiliary came to close at the local Presbyterian church here Friday. after being one of the largest attended and the best ever held. Prominent speakers from Alabama and other states appeared on the programme and various re- ligious topics. with special attention to religious education, were dis cussed by different people.
 Perhaps the outstanding address of the entire conference was delivered during the Friday session by Dr. Spright Dowell. president of the Ala bama Polytechnic institute. with Re ligious Education" as his subject.
 The addresses by pr. c. H. Og- den, for many years in ministerial work in Mobile, were very timely and helpful.
 Since foreign missions was one of the main topics before the delegates, the lectures by Miss Esther B. Mat thews of Mokpo. Korea, and Mrs. w C. Winsborough of St. Louis were of special interest. because of their acquaintance with Oriental condi- tions.
 At the college convoeation hour Saturday morning Miss Matthews and Mrs. Winsborough addressed the stu dents and faculty on "Orieutal /Op- portunities," urging at least a few of the students to prepare themselves for work in the Orient where oppor- tunities, according to the speakers. surpass those of any other place in the world.
 Prior to adjournment Friday Mrs. I. G. Snedeco- was reelected presi- dent and Mrs. J. S. Alfred of Troy recording secretary. Mrs. John B. Knox of Anniston is honorary life president
