is THE WORLD ON THE BRINK
OF ANOTHER BLOODY WAR?

The press dispatches in the daily
press the past week lead one to believe
that the chances are that Europe will
be engaged in another bloody con-
tlict unless the catastrophy can be
5yolded by diplomacy. Tho Turk has
ben waging war on the Greek and he
has been victorious and now is pre-
pairing to capture Constantinople and
the Dardcnclles, and England has Civ
en- notice that this shall not be done.
The chances are that Russia will Join
hands with the Turk in the new con
flict developing, and unless it is
checked it is hard to say Just where
it will end and which of the nations
of the world will be involved. 1t does
not iook as though Europe at present

5O,OOO TONS OF BIRMINGHAM SLAG
 FORFLOR|DA ROADS
Southern States Road Building Schedule of 1922 Calling For Large Quantities of
 This By-Product

Florida has begun a $5,00o,o0o to ss, s,oOO,ooO road building program for 1922 by purchasing 50,0Oo tons of Bir- mingham slag for foundation of 33 miles of standard asphalt highway.
 C. F. Ireland of the Birmingham slag company has just returned from Florida, where he landed the contract. The roads are located in Alachua. Putnam and Orange counties, in the vicinities of Palatka, Gainesville and Orlando.
 The southern states road building program for 1922 is big one" said Mr. Ireland, and indications are that Birmingham slag will go far afield in much larger quantities than in 1921. In that year we did a bushes sof 75o.- 900 tons. compared with 1.OO0,0O0 tons in 1920 and 1,25o,OOQ tons in 1919. It is too early to count the chickens, but we feel very much as though we are to get back to the record of 1919."
 Goes Far AfieId
 MT. Ireland was asked how far afield Birmingham slag travelled. He replied: Birmingham slag for road building and other construction work goes into the states of North and St uth Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi, and into portions of Louisiana. We have even exported 1t, shipping a cargo of 1900 square yards to Cuba last year"
 Birmingham siag is dug from the slag piles at the blast furnaces by steam shovel machinery and crushed into sizes to suit.

cation of the ;25,oo0.O0o state high way bond issue:
 Reports from practically all pre- cincts in Jefferson county indicate that for the second time this county will cast an overwhelming majority for this important measure. Nearly two years ago this county rolled up a majority for thIs amendment of ap- proximately IS to 1. whereas the state vote was but to 1 in favor of the amendment.
 "The last week of the campaign just closed, witnessed great advance in the explanation of the amendment to various precincts outside of the city of Birmingham. In some quarters because there had not been an under standing of the issue, there was some opposition on the ground that voting for the bonds might result in raising taxes. In the several metings held during the past week the solemn as- surance was given by President John A. Rogers of the state highway com mission and author of the amendment that the issuance of the bonds would not increase the taxes either on prop critics or on vehicles.
 No Tax Increase
 Tt was made clear that the legis- lature has already fixed the motor vehicle license tax on every class of automobile sand truck and that this being ample to pay each year the in- terest and retire the bonds at ma turlty, not only would there be no need for levying an extra tax or rais- ing the valuation on land or real es- tate but there would be also no occa- sion for increasing the privilege tax or license on motor-driven vehicles.
 "The people of Jefferson will de- clare in their verdict Monday that so far as they are concerned Alabama shall go forward and not backward and that this state along with other progressive states of the union shall not forfeit the millions of dollars of federal aid now allotted to Alabama but which will be lost to the state un- less the amendment carries. Let every friend of the measure go to the polls and remind every other voter within his knowledge to do likewise. The important thing to do is to get out the vote.'

TEAMS WILL PUSH CAMPAIGN FOR
 JEWISH RELIEF
Committees to Take Field This Morning-Chairman Burger Says City Must
 Raise Its Quota

Every committee in tho drive for funds for the sufferers in central and eastern Europe will start out this morning at s.se s'oIock to push tho work Of getting in contributions be- ing raised in Birmingham and the Birmingham diatriot.
 Jacob Burger, chairman of the gen eraI committee in the Birmingham district announced Sunday evening that at e meeting held during the afternoon there was 6 determination expressed to get busy during this week and every man on the list will De Rolicited and asked to contribute, snd some of those who have already contributed will be asked to increase their donations
 Birmingham and the Birmingham district must go to it's quota, said MT. Burger, and to accomplish this 1t will be necessary for those who have not been called upon before to go to the limit of their capacities, and some Of those who have already contributed must stretch a point and come across. 60 to speak.
 Advicoa from the general head quarters fc New York are to the of- feet that Encouraging reports are coming in from all parts of tha country and that Alabama ia looked upon to do its share. From the head quarters of Alabama, in Montgomery, the reports come in that the expeota- ttons are that Birmingham Is ex- pscted to do the greater amount of the work towards the general con tribution, and for that reason Jacob Burger, chairman of the Birmingham committee. expects everybody to come across to their fullest ability during this week. .ss
 The drive wiu not be extended be- yond Friday of this week. There are q number who have been liberal in their contributions and there are number who have not been seen at all
 There are 90 many people in Bir- mingham who know of actual oondi- that they will be liberal in oontrt- buttons" said MT. Burger Sunday. I'll behooves Birmingham to make the largest contribution in the state. I am expecting the several committees. who will start out st e.s0 o'clock Monday morning, to report greater contributions than ever before. I realize the fact that there have been many drives, but the call in this case Is tho most urgent of all, and l am sure that tho contributors feel con fident that practically every cent contributed will go towards the end that has been described"
