said to be the finest French produc-
tion ever brought to America.
OF this photoplay, Pete Harrison,
admittedly the most reliable Of all
New York film critics, says:
1.-THE picture was produced abroad.
Many of the exterior scenes are mar
vels of beauty, the ones taken in the
mammoth cave, especially, being opt
ical treats such as are seldom af-
forded to moving picture patrons.
"The story deals with the attempts
of a wealthy young Englishman to
take possession OF a Mediterranean
island, which he has acquired by
right OF purchase; but the natives
bitterly resent the prospect of what
they consider foreign invasion. a
double dealing scoundrel incites the
islanders to rebellion by attributing
false motives to the new owner. The
uprising is finally quelled and the
new LnBllSn owner with his pdA ~
reaches his yacht in safety. The pic
ture is a novelty and far superior to
the average feature. 1t should prove
highly pleasing to American audi
ences"
The above Is quoted from a private
report furnished the theater owner
by the New York critic. and are for
his personal information.

pressive ever selected by a French

 The spot and fourth quarter mar kets seem to be converging 50 far as price is concerned. The s25 base had not disappeared yesterday. two makers still quoting it, but 1t seemed to be retreating in the face of gen eral advances over the country. All makers agreed that the tendency is still upward.
 It Is asserted that the wage in- creases effective September l will increase cost of iron making in Ala bama $2.50 to s3 a ton.
 The increase in price of Iron has been reflected in perssure pipe. which has advanced to base of $40. com pared with 337 few weeks ago.

HIGH RECORD
 NV FREIGHT MO VED
 BY WARRIOR RIVER
19,743 Tons Went South and 14,421 Tons Came North During August, Which Rep- resentS Annual Movement of 4O9, ,968 Tons

Freight moving up and down the Warrior river in August made a new high months record. The total was 34,164 tons, of which 19,743 tons went south and 14,421 tons came north. The proportion of north bound freight is increasing.
 The August movements were at tho rate of 4o9,s6s tons per annum. Chief item of southbound tonnage was coal, which amounted to 16.ss5 tons. Next came manufactured steel and iron products. which amounted to 3,sso tons. Most of the latter was for Pa cific coast and export trade.
 Among the leading northbound ship ments were 6,Ss4 tons of manganese ore from Brazil; 2,ss5 tons of sulphur from Texas, and 4s6 tons of nitrate of soda from Chile.
 Partly Due to Strike
 The incerase of tonnage on the Warrior in. August Is due. in part. to the rail strike. The Warrior has been offered more than twice the business which 1t can handle with present equipment.
 The Warrior Is now an eight-foot stream the year around. two feet hav- ing been added by placing timber to that height on top of the 1T locks.
 The Chickasaw steamer Atlanta City Is now in Mobile waiting on a cargo of steel rails and plates from the mills of the Tennessee company for the orient
 The steamer Lake Shore Is in Mo- Birmingham iron and steel products for the Pacific coast
 Manganese Cargo Arrives
 The steamer stornest with 5000 tons of manganese ore from Brazil for the Tennessee company has arr rived at Mobile and will discharge cargo into the federal coal and ore terminals there, which will transfer to barges on the Warrior river.
 The rail strike, which has prevent ed other gulf ports from maintaining g supply of bunker coal has brought dozens of ships usually coaling at New Orleans, Pensacola and other gulf ports. to Mobile. Mobile is sup piled by river coal coming from Ala bama mines In barges on an aii- water haul, hence has a dual means of keeping a coal supply on hand. Mobiles federal coal terminal alone has a capacity of 10000 tons of coal
 Having realized Mobiles strategic position as a bunker coal provider, the present thrush of vessels to se- cure bunkerage coal there Is regard ed as forerunner of a continuous in crease in that business at Mobile.

MOORE SAYS PUBLIC
 COOPERATION CAN STOP CRIME WAVE
Public Opinion, Boldly and Openly Expressed Most Potent Influence to
 Stop LaWIessneSs

'Ts 1t not about time for the best thought of our citizenship to awake, unite and bestir themselves to stay the present-day crime wave which threatens the deterioration of our civilization and the subversion of our constitutionT asked Walter Moore yesterday.
 Look at the present picture at home and elsewhere. The situation Is grave. It is full of peril. Cur rents and commencement of disor- der and lawlessness are rampant here and elsewhere, with daily increasing force and menace.
 Not day passes that we do not hear or read of law violation by the spirit and practice of the mob, the sound of the lash upon the bodies of human victims and the crack of gun shot which means death to the vic- tim, capital punishment for perhaps imaginary offense without process of law.
 "Is 1t not time for the spirit of pa- triotic inquiry to get in motion? That spirit which impresses the truth that this Is and must remain a govern ment of law and not Of force? While the strike by railroad men and the general discomfort which pre- vails in their ranks Is not primarily | responsible for this season of law lessness, yet the idleness thus pro- duced and the agitation following &C., celebrates the evil tide with which the community Is confronted. This crime wave arose before there was a strike. Midnight marauders and blood-seek- CTS have piled their avocation, spat upon the law and with masked faces l assumed the functions of judge. jury and executioner.
 Victims of the unlawful wrath nd fury of this mob spirit are objects of lawlessness, regardless of sex, color, social or political status. and recital in the press and on the streets of crimes committed Is a daily morsel upon which the public is feasted. There seems to be no open viola ton of law enmasse that could be met by the strong arm of the states | military force, but an exercise of that evil spirit, under cover of darkness, where the lash driver and the gun man can ply their baneful occupa- ton unseen by the eye of the public and beyond detection by the present legal forces.
 
 the lawful authorities of the state or community need the active cooper ation of the lawabiding citizenship, to | add vigilance and force to the func- tions of the courts and to those of ficials who sometimes seem helpless without the potent influence of pub | lic opinion. boldly and openly ex- | pressed. Here In Birmingham, more than once expressed public opinion has stayed the hand of lawlessness when the courts seemed helpless. Is it not now time for a public ex- pression of alarm to be sounded and active cooperation by our law-loving and law-abiding citizenship. making l known its purpose and determination | to stop this crime wave and to re- store peace and order to this com | munity?
 'Is there not now q crying need for leadership for aggressive defense of law and order in our midst?"

 If President Harding has an idea that he can do the same as they did, and are doing. in Russia, he will find out he is in the wrong country and is incapable of being President of the United States" Mir.

He further accused the money power of Wall street with placing Harding in office, declaring that they couldn't find some one else that they could boss, so they elected Hard Ing" stated that the recent h. functions directed against the labor organizations was merely for the purpose of taking the heart out of the strikers and declared that re- gardless of Harding and the rest of the powers, the strikers will not go back to work until their demands are met.
 Hnrrison's Views
 Following MT Busby's speech, City Commissioner w l.. Harrison spoke on the issues involved in the rail- road strike. He stated that the all important question at the present time is whether labor will be crushed down or will rise In a glorious union. He declared that the union man Is the industrial slave of the country and that the injunctions which have been served are the last resort of the railroad companies. All you have to do is to sit steady In the boat and you will win tho fight" he declared.
 John W. Altman, attorney for the State Federation of Labor, next spoke in bitter denunciation of tho propa ganda and methods used by the railroads against the strikers.
 Children Presented
 In the midst of MT. Altman's talk three children were brought upon stage and displayed to the audience as the children of a Denver, Col. shopman. The children, 1t Is stated, In June, came to visit an aunt in Montgomery. They were returning to their home In Denver, by way of
