the total of the right-ltand column is

Had Withdrawals of 81 each been

. NEW ALUMNI REGISTER
More Than 5000 Names Of Forme, StudeMfA At Rirmin rha n m- SnmA hAru

More Than 5000 Names Of Former
 Students At Birmingham- Southern
 Names and addresses of more than 5000 former students are included in the almni register of Birmingham- southern college just prepared by J. M. Malone, roster secretary. for dis tribption to all alumni. This Is the firsy attempt ever made to compile list of non-graduates of the institu- tion, MT. Malone said.
 Former students whose names are in the register include those enrolled between the time the college was known as Southern university and Bir- mingham college, two distinct institu- tions in different parts of the state prior to the consolidation in 1918, and June. 1923. The two instutions of which Birmingham-South is com :, posed had a total of 20 presidents, all of them ministers. pr. Guy snave- ly, the present president, is the second since the consolidation. his immediate predecessor being Rev. Cullen Cole man Daniel.
 No students were graduated during the Civil war, as the college halls were practically emptied by the call for volunteers; but many students who served in the war were presented with their diplomas afterward AL though the enrolment was small dur ing the period of reconstruction fol- lowing the Civil war, several promi- nent citizens of Birmingham and Alabama were students at that time, including ex-Gov. Thomas Seay, Capt, Richmond P. Hobson. and Lee c. Brardley, co-receiver, of the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power com- pany.

FLOOD |S DRIVING. MANY FROM HOMES.
Estimated More Than 10,- 900 Must Leave Suburb
 Of Paris

PARIS, Jan. 3.-Authorities esti- mate that 10000 people must be evacuated from the Paris suburb of Alfortville. where waters of both the Seine and the Marne. overflowing their banks. are submerging an area of about 15 square miles.
 But while elaborate preparations are under way to prevent further ties do not believe that the situa- eion here warrants alarm.
 Representative of the subway lines. electric power houses, gas works and railroads conferred with the ministry of public works Thurs day night, and later announced that they felt no uneasiness regarding the possibility of a fool disaster here.
 It is announced that waters of the upper Seine are receding.
 In suburbs of the city, however and along the Seine waterfront ethe flood has already caused considera- ble damage. The situation is grav- est at Alfortville, where about 15,000 persons make their homes. Soldiers and sailors worked desperately Thursday,.r taking families from flooded houses. It was expected that 5000 families will have been evacu- ated by Friday morning.
 The rivers have broken through their dikes, and the water was rising at the rate of two feet an hour.
 The dikes broke unexpectedly people were still marooned in houses where they had been trapped by the rushing waters. Scores of women and children stood at upper windows, screaming for help, shouting that they must be supplied with food, or demanding aid for sick relatives within.
 Half-naked soldiers struggled to rescue the flood victims, plunging waist deep into water to pick IT women and children swept down il quitting their homes. An order has been issued that aid be given firs1 to women and children, together with the aged and the infirm. Rescue workers were unable to respond to pleas of men struggling to save household effects from flood-threat- ened houses.
 Army engineers worked to con- struct dikes on threatened streets while sailors manned the relief boats. The refugees were taken to city buildings, halls and schools in nearby suburbs.

HUGHES GIVES OUT MORE SOVIET DATA
Resumes Aggressive In De-
 lending Administrations { ... Campaign

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Secretary Hughes resumed the aggressive to- policy of refusing to deal with Soviet Russia, while that government continued to direct revolutionary propaganda in the United States. The state department, by MT. Hughes direction, made public a translation of a long communication "to American communists" signed by "G. Zinoviev." and which appeared in. the issue of December IA, 1923, of including, the following note carried by the Moscow paper in explanation of the article:
 Written at the request of the American comrades for the first num- Der of the daily communist news paper in English Daily Worker. which will appear from January l, 1924. in New York;
 Zinoviev is identified in the state departments announcement as "President>-of the Petrorad Soviet "President of the Petrograd Soviet nationalet member of the All-Russian Central executive committee and member of the Federation Central executive committee"
 The article translated halls the ad . vent of a communist daily news paper in America as a great event not only for the American labor communist internationale."
 "The American workers, whose thoughts and ideas for many years have been dominated by Gompers and Hillquit, are beginning now to bestfr themselves and rally around the young American communist party" the translation continues.
 The writer declares that impor- tant as the work among trade un- ions in America has been, "yet more important is the fact that American communists are able, among the first, to raise and bring forward practically the question of work among the peasants (small farm ersl:"
 continues. "to aid the communist zation, defending only the narrow class interests of the proletariat. but party of proletariat, such a person must, after having establish ed 8 workers party, direct its at tention also to the conquest of the peasantry."
 Tn this respect the American path. The American communists have founded the labor farmers party (preserving, to be sure, their communist proletariat party as an independent organization).,
 'The essence of Bolshevism consist in just this-that it has begun to transform into actuality the hege- mony of the proletariat in the revo- lution.
 Let the American comrades with still greater energy labor to con- quer before all the heafts of the American proletariat, to snatch the American working class and its labor unions out of the tenacious, dead embrace of Gompers and other agents of capital. But let the fore most American workers with un- wavering energy labor at the same time to win over to the side of the workers the small farmers. At the first possibility the American com rades must establish a special mass communist newspaper for small farmers-a newspaper which will count its readers by hundreds and hundreds of thousands"
