GARTER AGAIN
 l IS RECOVERING
Alabama Cheer Leader Has Less COma-Like
 Periods

For the second time since he was admitted to the hospital on October IS after being knocked unconscious during a free-for-all fight between student rivals at the Alabama -Sewanee foot ball game, l.. N. "Slim" Carter, Ala bama cheer leader, the past several days has showed signs of recovering, phy- sicians at Birmingham-Baptist hospital said Wednesday night.
 Carter, who is said to have been struck terrible blow on the cheek by V. G. Blood" Miller, former Sewanee gridiron star, during the fracas, had unbegun to improve rapidly after re- covering consciousness several days fol lowing his admission, hospital author ities said. Then followed period in which his condition became worse, it was said, causing attending physicians to fear the youths mind might be permanently affected by the injury. His condition at that time was character ized by semi-conscious state.
 Last Saturday Carter began to inn prove and his mind is becoming clearer each day, authorities said. The coma like condition, during which he can- not speak coherently, appears at less frequent intervals and the possibility of his complete recovery soon is much brighter, it was said.
 Miller's hearing on a charge of as- sault and battery had been postponed pending the outcome of Carters in- juries.

WAR THREATENS
 PEACE CONGRESS
Session Thrown Into Tur- moil By Mexican's Plea
 For Revolt Of Youth

BUFFALO, N. T., Nov. 12.-Denun. citation from the floor of speech made before the peace congress of the Ameri- can council of the world alliance for international friendship through the churches as "socialistic, un-American unpatriotic and bolshevistic," threw to- days session of the congress into pan demonium for several minutes.
 Herbert M. Sein of Mexico, in de. livering an address advocating revolt of the youth of the world against war declared the churches during the World war had ''sinned when they prayed for victory" and characterized as ''bar. barious" the placing of the flag beside the Bible in church pulpits. He pictured the nations about to engage in another conflict when suddenly and in unison there breaks forth around. the world a revolt of fighters and workers-the great refusal to fight-thus making the war stage collapse"
 The speaker had concluded when Will liam E. Otto, Buffalo delegate, leaped to his feet, denounced the speech and demanded whether the congress was going to stand for such a spectacle ' A mingled chorus of 'yes" and mo drowned out both Sein and Otto, the furore being further increased by at. tempted impromptu speeches from other parts of the floor.
 At this afternoons session, Samuel C. Inman, secretary of the commission on cooperation in Latin America, charac' terized as the supreme test facing the nation the question of whether it will be able to resist the temptations that come with riches and power and will be able to carry out its ideals of democ racy and rights of small nations.
 Other speakers today included Pro- lessor William I. Hull of Swarthmore who declared the church must take def mite stand either for war or peace Kirby Page, author and student, who urged a policy of ''non-violent resis tance" and sounded a warning of wal between this country and a group of na tions including Japan, and Captain w I. Pollock of the United States navy.

WATER SHORTAGE BRINGS NO FEAR FOR INDUSTRIES
Birmingham Plants Have Adequate Supply, Off,
 ficials Report

There is no danger of Birmingham industrial operations being closed from the lack of water, according to authentic information obtained Wednes- day. Due to the incessant report that some operations were to be shut down on account of the scarcity of water, occasioned by the protracted drought, inquiries were directed to the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company and to the Woodward, the two com panies most involved in the rumors. The water supply of both companyies is adequate to care for operations indef- initely, it was explained. 7,
 Frank H. Crockard, president of the Woodward O., said operations were going ahead on the same basis as for many weeks and officials felt no ap- prehension. He said the present dry per- iod was the most protracted the com pany had ever experienced but the situ- ation did not warrant any fear that operations would be hindred.
 Tennessee company officials are not at all uneasy over the situation, it be- ing explained that its reserve of water is far from being seriously drawn upon. This company has even permitted the Woodward to tap its mains for domestic service at some of its operations.
 There is quite a different feeling however in coal mine circles. Some of the companies are said to view the situ- ation with no little alarm. It is stated that the supplies near the various mines are being conserved as much as pos sible and requests that waste be elimi- mated have been made, mine operators in many cases believe they will negotiate the dangerous period unless the pres ent drought continues great many days longer.
