There is an undoubted desire gen.

that idea through it's very active
Latin-American bureau, which from
time to time sends campaigners

Inference was clearly drawn that he
was a candidate who would main
tain peace Nor was there anything
tangible in the declaration OF the & re-
Hughes, to indicate that he would
plunge the United States into war.
Mr.. Hughes confined himself simply
to general declaration OF MS 1nten- :
tion, should he be elected. to assert
American rights and protect Amerl-
can interests everywhere.
Irrespective Of Mr.. wilson's own
part in the campaign of 1915, the
west certainly had the idea that Mr..
Wilson's action in the past was a. an
ture Since those momentous days,
especially in view of the fact that
within six months after the election
of 1916. the United States was en-
gagged in war against Germany. there
has been a tendency to regard the
democratic campaign of 1915 as a de-
ception and Mr.. Wilson's part in it
as an acQuiescence at least in the
program Of peace.
Hoped to BE Peacensaker.
The truth of the matter is that
Woodrow Wilson feared that the
United States might be drawn into
the war against her will but never
cherished the idea in 1916 that Ger
many wovld be so foolish as to drag
America into the conflict Mr.. Will
sons hopes were that the United
States might be mediator and peace
maker. For himself, he craved the
privilege of intervening and giving
the basis of peace to the belliger-
ents. He made speech in which he
spoke of the possibility of peace
without victory" and it was widely
misconstrued abroad as a desire on
the part of Mr.. Wilson to deprive the
allies of the fruits Of their ultimate
triumph by a premature armistice,
1t was derided in America as, an
empty phrase. But what Mr.. Wilson
hoped for was that the deadlock
might enable peace to be made on a
basis that would not kindle the fires
of revenge or SOW the seeds of an
other war. He meant a peace with
out revenge.

SAY W. [. T.U. PUT MUSGR0vE IN RACE
Statement By Alabama Body Points Out Action Resulted
 From Legislative Statute

State and county officers of the Women's Christian Temperance union Thursday issued statement to the effect that their organization, after earnest solicitation prevailed upon L.. for the presidential nomination against Senator o. w. Underwood and calling upon prohibitionists Of the state to support him in his race. the statement also sets out that the action of the W. c. T, U. was due to the statute of the Alabama legisla- ture which deprived them of oppor- tunity to express their convictions in an open primary. The communica- tion is signed by, Mrs. Mary T. Jeff fries, president; Mrs. Chappell Cory, vice president: Mrs. W. T. Renfroe, recording secretary; Mrs. Claude M. Clayton, treasurer; Mrs. ]. NJ. Ham kins. president of Jefferson county W. C.. T. U.; Mrs. F. M. Jackson, and reads as follows:
 "The Woman's Christian Temper ance union of Alabama, at it's con vention in Attalla October Is passed, unanimously, a resolution opposing Senator Oscar W. Underwood for President of the United States. for the reason that he had consistently op- posed prohibition state and national, dnu ndS ELOOQ SOlluly dSdlHSI all measures presented to Congress with prohibition in view. his organizes . tion, after having given nearly 40 years of devoted service to the cause of temperance and prohibition in the state, feels that it has taken the only consistent step that could be taken at this time.
 "The recent session of the legis- laturs passed al law giving them no
 Nf e-tv fhni nn n- victions at the polls, followed later by a ruling of the state democratic committee which will disfranchise many citizens of the state with the same convictions as ourselves. Feel ing that this ruling is great 1n- justice to the women of the state who have been life long prohibition ists with no offices in mind and no political preferences to sustain, feel also that we must in loyalty to our cause, have a candidate who would represent OUT principles. Believing that Col. l.. B. Musgrove, leader Of prohibition for many years man or unquestioned loyalty to prohibition was the logical man to appealN to Tn this difficult situation, representa- tives of our state executive commit tee called upon Col. l.. B. MusErove. on his return from New York few days since. The situation was pre- sented to him at a private coh1erence and of our earnest solicitation he con- sented to enter the race and oppose Senator Underwood. The W. c. T. U. deeply appreciating the very great sacrifice which Colonel Musgrove IS making to enter this race. Is calling upon the. prohibitionists of the state, both men and women, to stand by this organization and the cause or prohibition by going to the polls March Il and voting for Coionel Musgrove."

Facing advertisement of their prop erty to satisfy past-due public im- provement assessments, Birmingham property owners Thursday poured into the city comptroller's office by hundreds and "squared" themselves with the city.
 Comptroller c. E. Armstrong esti- mated that the $94,000 in overdue as- sessments was cut to something like $6O.OOO. He expected delinquents to wipe out practically all of the bal ance before next Wednesday, the date on which the first advertisements will appear.
 City property valued at moro than s2,000,000 Is involved, the comptroller said. The properties on which as- sessments for improvements are un- paid will be'sold at auction January 31. according to present plans.
 From the way things look now, there won't be much of a sale." the comptroller commented. The people are paying up, because they don't like to see their property advertised. Under the law, this must be done, and the first of these advertisements must be inserted next Wednesday. January g."

Annual Election Held Thurs day-Pennington De-
 scribes Analysis Clinic

.J. L. Yancey of the Yancey Real Estate and Insurance company. Thursday was reelected president of the Birmingham Real Estate Board at the regula: weekly luncheon of the board held in the municipal market cafe.
 Other officers elected were Robert Jemison, first vice president; E. S. Allen, second vice president; John D. ner, treasurer. HI. Estes. Claude Nelson. S. E., Garrett and S. D. Meyer were elected directors. J. B. Dryer. c. F. Manly and M. P. Messer were elected to the vacancies on the ap- praisal committee.
 Establishment of a free clinic in Birmingham was the subject dis cussed by pr. Julian Pennington. psychological analyst. the principal speaker of the occasion.
 sThe Travellers club Is very anxi- ous to establish in Birmingham b free clinic; my object here is not to sell the idea. but to tell you some- thing of what we are doing in Texas" said pr. Pennington.
 Under the auspices of the Travel CTS club numbers of prominent peo- pie have been examined and have testified to the efficacy and pos ready come when ,nere can be no more question in Birmingham as to the feasibility of this method. I have the permission to use the names of a number of the prominent citizens as believing in it.
 "A psychological clinic is a place where we can take an examination hi iaI, ,.ri1I clr alr ,,1 ,tr parts of each of us, thus paving the way to the building up of these parts. This will be particularly interesting and instructive work in connection with the juvenile court. public in- stitutions and the disabled veterans
 "The proposed clinic will especial ly help the veterans. who are taking receiving money from the govern nrent to learn other employment and 1t Is to their interest to see what they are fitted for.
 Ben Lindsay. the noted judge of Colorado, has instituted for himself a private clinic and a private ex- aminer and each boy and girl. before he or she Is tried, IS thoroughly examined. When they come up be- fore him he knows their thoughts and emotions: their temptations and their line of strongest resistance.
 "A psychological clinic would help real estate men by showing them their weakest points and aiding them to build them up. It would also ana lize their employees. Roger Babson. the statistician, tells us that over 90 per cent of the people of the United States chooses their employment by guess work"
 pr. Pennington said proposed clinic for Birmingham would cost less than $10.00e. He stressed his interest in corNts and vocational training.
