Woodrow Wilson Is Head of Immortal
 Fiue, Say Students

What five men living today in America would deserve a place in the hall of immortality, if only five could be placedT was the question asked by E. M. Henderson, instructor in jour nallsm at Birmingham Southern col- lege before his class last night.
 MT. Henderson warned his ciaas to seriously think over the great Amer jeans now living and name them for what they had accomplished and not for their popularity
 The way the class voted was as fol- lows: First place. Woodrow Wilson; second place, Thomas A. Edison; third place. Jane Addams: fourth place. Henry Ford; fifth place, William J. Bryan.
 Woodrow Wilson was unanimous for first place in the balloting, while Edison ran up q large majority In the second placing. Jane Addams also received heavy vote. Henry Ford won fourth place by slight majority.
 Sharp dissension took place in the choice for fifth place. Herbert Hoover. Charles k. Hughes and Will liam J. Bryan were tied for the final place. In the second balloting. how ever. Bryan took the chptce over Hoover by one vote.
 In asking why certain men were given various choice. the question was asked why MT. Ford was given fourth place. The general sensus of the class seemed to be that Mr. Ford deserved the place because of the sound working condition that ex- isted among his employees as well as the cheap product that he manufac- tured.

SOUNDS TOCSIN QF
 INTERNATIONALISM. PINS FAITH IN RUSS
Easing Address on Experience on Continent, Harte Hints at Suggestion of Free
 Democracy

Some form of an international state is coming sooner or later and it's up to AngloSaxon Christians to take ths lead in it's formation said Dr. A. C. Harte, general secretary of the Young Mems Christian association, of Jeru- salem. in a lecture at the Rotary club yesterday
 pr. Harte stated that all Asia and parts of Europe are in confusion and that if Christian nations do not take advantage of their opportunities, in- ternationalism is coming in the form of bolshevism and disorder. The United States, he said can play great part in establishing "democ- racy of free nations"
 His remarks on international af- fairs was based on Is years of ex- perience in Y. NJ. c. A. and war re- lief work in India. Palestine and the various nations of Europe.
 The heart of the Russian peasant is sound. he has common sense and means we'll" said the speaker. The time has come when the business men of America must see that both Rus sia and Germany get fair play" He explained that Russia has more to give us In the way of raw resources and we have more to give her in ma chinery and tools than any other na- tion.
 The real problem in Palestine ac- cording to Dr. Harte is political. The country which Is small in size has 900, 900 persons of which 100000 are Arabs and less than 100000 Jews. Both races, he stated, claim Palestine as their home and spring of their re- ligion.
 One of the big tasks of the Y. NJ. c. A. in Jerusalem, he added. was to coordinate the prejudices of the Jews, Mohammedans. Christians and other races and creeds. The "Y" he stated was succeeding in this work better than any other organization.
 Dr. Harte who is former Ala bamian and at one time general sec retary of the Mobile Y. M. C. A. was introduced by Dr. Henry Nj. Edmonds
 J. w. Donnelly, president of the club, E. H. Andrews and J. C. Hodges were elected by ballot as delegates from Birmingham to the National Rotary club convention to be held in Los Angeles June 5-10.
