Passage of $2,500,000,000
War Tax Bill Late Today
First Item of Adjourned
Programme
Washington, September 9.—Passage of
$2,500,000,000 war tax bl\J late tomorrow
by the Senate, after a month's conten
tion, is the first major item of an ad
journment programme being framed by
congressional leaders.
The adjournment fever is In the air,
with general acquiescence in a speeding
up process. Leaders are endeavoring to
reconcile the widespread desire at the
capitol and the White House to close the
session next month, with the President’s
legislative programme, with the soldiers'
and sailors’ insurance bill as the priiv
cipal stumbling block.
Chief features of the programme be
fore Congress are:
The war tax bill, which will go to con
ference this week and probably to the
President within a fortnight.
The $11,500,000,000 war credits bill,
which will be taken up Tuesday by the
Senate finance committee.
The $4.SOO,OO^t>0 deficiency appropria
tion bill before the House.
The insurance measure, due to pass
the House this week.
The administration trading with the
enemy bill, which has passed the House,
and is awaiting Senate debate, Tuesday.
As usual the preadjournment conges
tion is on the Senate side. The war tax
bill is definitely set for passage to
morrow. While it is in conference the
Senate hopes to pass the trading with
the enemy and $11,000,000,000 credits bills,
possibly within a fortnight, leaving the
insurance measure and the mammoth ap
propriation bill as the final features.
Senate leaders are endeavoring to se
cure agreement of administration lead
ers to postpone enactment of the insur
ance bill until December, on the theory
that few if any American soldiers will
be actually in the trenches by that time.
The President and Secretary McAdoo,
hov, ever, are urging its prompt passage.
This may upset hopes of a vacation be
ftro the regular December meeting.
Several more changes are expectd in
the war tax bill tomorrow. Strong fights
are awaiting the consumption taxes on
sugar, tea, coffee, and cocoa; the 3 per
ceut tax on freight transportation; the
second-class mail rate increases; pro
posed repeal of the sugar “drawback”
and the provision taxing corporations’
undivided surplus 10 per cent.
Agitation for a general discussion of
peace after passage of the tax bill ap
parently has subsided.

Generous Response to
Tobacco Fund for Our
Soldier Boys in France
Generous response to The Age-Her
ald tobacco fund for the soldier boys at
the front and in the trenches con
tinues and quite a number of contribu
tions were received yesterday. The
Age-Herald’s campaign to provide the
boys with tobacco is attracting much
attention and contributions are coming
in from every section of the state.
Every 25 cents contributed will send
a 45-cent package of tobacco to one
of our soldiers at the front in France
and the name of the person sending
the tobacco will be placed on a post
card and included in the package.
The fund last night stood as follows:

the high seas in order that Hi© sink
ing of Argentine Bhips by German sub
marines should leave no trace which
| would make their crime known in Ar
gentina and so make an enemy of that
country.
NO SINGLE INSTANCE
"This is no single instance. 'Spurlos
Versenkt' is a consistent policy which
[ is deliberately carried into effect in
an attempt to hide from neutral coun
tries the results of unrestricted Bub
marine warfare and other nations than
Argentine, such as Norway in par
ticular, know It to their cost.
“A further point of Interest is the
assurance apparently given by the Ar
gentine government that Argentine
ships will in future only clear as far
as Las Palmas. In other words, the
pretended immunity for Argentina
ships, accorded with a show of mag
nanimity by the German government
is a pure farce. In reality the Immu
nity is secured not by Germany re
fraining from sinking Argentine ships
in the war zone but by the Argentine
goverment undertaking to arrange so
that no Argentine vessel ^hould be
found In that zone.
“It will be interesting to hear what
Argentine public opinion will say
when it now learns at the real na
ture of the 'diplomatic victory' which
the Argentine government claims to
have gained.”
Buenos Aires, September 9.—'"I have
cabled to my government to clear up
matters,” said Baron Lowen.
“In the United States they are very
excitable."
The official announcement issued by
the state department at Washington
that the communications from Count
Luxburg, German charge at Buenos
Aires, had been sent to the Berlin
foreign office through the Swedish le
gation here in cipher caused a sensa
tion and was the principal topic of
discussion throughout the city. That
the situation is regarded as serious
was evidenced by the fact that the
populace, usually g'ay on Sunday, were
remarkably quiet and sober faced.
Dancing girls, waving Argentine flags
and bedecked with American and Brit
ish flags, were greeted with silence at
tho matinee after being wildly ap
plauded all week.
The government offices have been
closed since Friday evening, but when
the officials return from the week
end tomorrow the revelations from
Washington will be the first matter
considered. The President of the re
public has called on the foreign min
ister for explanations.
NEWSPAPER COMMENT
The Buenos Aires newspapers refer
to the exposure as an unusual and
sensational diplomatic scandal. La Na
clon says:
“This sensational revelation, which
comprises the faith of the German for
eign officers, must modify many opin
ions regarding the situation. It clear
ly shows the contempt with which the
two diplomats involved regard the Ar
gentine foreign office.
“Diplomacy in this war has given us
many surprises, but none so grave
that has occasioned consequences so
difficult to foresee in their far-reach
ing effects as this from the United
States, the involvement of the fair
name of our country. Imposed upon
because of its excessive good faith, in
a complicated plot which must arouse
universal comment of all kinds, claims,
fears and suspicions."
Every paper today said the report
was so sensational and unusual that
it could not be believed except for
the fact that it had been made public
by the department of such a great
country as the United States.
NO OFFICIALS IN CHARGE
At the present time there are no
responsible officials at the German le
gation. Count Luxburg has been tak
ing a vacation in the Andes foothills
since the arrival of the American fleet
at Buenos Aires and has so far not

the Associated Press to make a state
ment.
Baron Akerhlelm, charge d’affaires
of the Swedish legation lrt thp United
States, who arrived here today from
Washington, has requested the Asso
ciated Press to make public the fol
lowing statement:
"The statement I made yesterday to
a representative of the press has not
been quite correctly stated in the pa
pers.
"The main point, as far as Swe
den is concerned, has been entirely
lost.
“I especially wished to have point
ed out that when I saw the Secre
tary of State Saturday I was told that
the telegrams that were forwarded by
the Swedish minister resident at Bue
nos Aires for the German charge
d’affaires were In German code. This
is sufficient proof that the Swedish
minister resident did not know thi
contents."

AI ranON MILLS
MAY BE SOLVED
Six White Men and One
Woman Arrested In Con
nection With the Mur
der of Watchman
Charles Tumlin, Earl Tumlin, Louis
Canterberry, Bill Gothard, Ida Steward,
Son Everett and W. H. Sudduth, all
whlnte, have been arrested by city de
tectives and confined in the city jail on
charge of murder. It Is believed that
these persons were implicated in the
murder of Watchman Bush, who was ap
sassirated at the Avondale cotton mills
last summer while on duty at night.
Son Everett was arrested by Chief of
Detectives Shirley at 10:16 o'clock Sat
urday night and the otherp were arrest
ed by Detectives Goad and Macke yes
terday morning.
The murder of Bush at the cotton mills
last summer puzzled local authorities.
Bush was killed while making his rounds
before 9 o’clock, ajs was shown by tbe
last time box on his rounds which was
punched. He was found with a big gash
in tho back of his head the next morn
ing. His pistol belt wap cut and the
pistol taken, but whether before or aft
er the murder wap not known. Those
who knew Bush said that if he had an
enemy no one knew of it. It was said
that nothing was missed from the mills
and the reason for the murder was not
understood.
Since the time of the tradegy the de
tective department ha^s been seeking for
a clue. The evidnce implicating the per
sons arrested yesterday and Saturday
has not been made public.
WEDDING FEAST
THEME OF SERMON
BY DR. D. S. BAYLEY
In his sermon last evening at the
Lyric theatre, Rev. Dwight S. Bayley,
associate pastor of the Independent
Presbyterian church. compared the
five foolish virgins who, attending the
wedding feast, had failed to take with
them a reserve supply of oil, to men
and women neglect character
building until death or the “crisis of
life” is already at hand.
“The crisis of life,” Mr. Bayley de
clared, “is not to be feared in itself,
but our failure to prepare for the
crisis; to be ready for entrance Into
the kingdom. It will not suffice to
postpone this preparation until tfie
crisis is at hand. Character alone wnl
survive the test—go through the fire
—and character is not transferable or
substitutionary. The five wise virgins
coulu not lend their oil to the five
foolish ones—a very significant fact.”
In closing Mr. Bayley referred to
the doctrine of the atonement, Dr.
Henry M. Edmonds’ view of which, he
stated, is that:
“Christ lived, suffered and died, not
instead of, but in behalf of, men.”
“Seeing and Serving’’ was the sub
ject of the morning service, held at
Temple Emanu-El. /

■ IS TOLD BY
CANADIAN SURGEON
London, August 20.—(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)—A graphic account
of war as an army surgeon sees it is
given in a series of articles by Capt.
Robert V. Dolbey, a surgeon from Brit
ish Columbia, who enlisted in the Brit
ish medical corps early in the war. De
scribing a sharp bit of fighting on the
Britsh front in France, he says:
“All day long the machine guns ham
mered and shrapnel swept that unhappy
regiment. By evening they had 400 cas
ualties, including 16 officers. So light
was the field of fire—the brewery behind
them was ablaze—that the doctor could
not get to all his wounded, and they lay
out that night. When morning . broke
and the fire died down only the slightly
wounded were alive; the cold rain and
exposure effectually robbed the rest of
their chance of life.
“Here then, was an instance of the
value of warmth, tea and a sheltered
dressing station. Of one thing one can
be oertain, that severely wounded men
will not stand the exposure of night on
the field and survive. Wounds associated
with much shock, compound fracture of
the hip and shoulder Joints, and frac
ture of the thigh, chest wounds, will
often do quite well, and rapidly recover
from the initial shock when the soldier
is kept warm and morphia given."
Here is his description of a busy night
In his field dressing station:
“Very busy were we in that little house;
60 wounded for morphia and dressings.
They were most grateful for the warmth,
for wounded men suffer acutely from
shock, they are so cold, so sweaty and
so thirsty. When the morphia acts and
the tea and the Inevitable cigarette, that
incomparable sedative for shaken nerves,
arrive, the whole aspect of the dressing
station alters. Unless a man Is wounded
desperately he soon becomes quite cheer
ful and very talkative. Morphia stills
the pain without having a great nar
cotic effect in times of excitement like
this.”
Dootor Dolbey gives the following ac
count of the work of an army surgeon:
"How does a regimental medical of
ficer do his work and what is his equip
ment? This X was curious to know; for
I had not been a surgeon to a battalion
in the field for 13 years.
"The doctor to each regiment is now
provided with a light, two-wheeled Mal
tese cart that carries the medical and
surgical panniers. These contain a com
prehensive selection of medical and sur
gical instruments, medicines, condensed
milk, and beef extract; all as complete
as It is compact Lacking only rubber
gloves and storilizable surgical gowns,
there is hardly an operation of an ur
gent character that an adaptable sur
geon cannot do in an emergency. Given
a house, a stove, and a regimental doc
tor’s equipment, his trained noncommis
sioned officer and he will have all the
essentials of a temporary hospital."

“KIDDIE” PICTURE AT
ALCAZAR DELIGHTS
CAPACITY CROWDS
“Jack and The Bean Stalk” Proves
Wonderful Production With
Many Beautiful Scenes and
Climaxes
The Alcazar theatre was crowded to
the sidewalk yesterday whe* "Jack
and the Beanstalk” was showed there
for the first day. Special music was
furnished by a four-piece orchestra
and the applause which the crowds
made during the presentation of the
great Fox productioh, on the screen
could be heard across the street.
The picture which comes to Bir
mingham directly from New York and
which will be shown here e'Very day
this week, is a stupendous produc
tion, costing a half million dollars
to produce. In it are seen 1300 Juve
nile movie actors and immense walled
cities built solely for the wonderful
production. The well known story of
"Jack and the Beanstalk" is depict
ed on the screen. Jack, as the story
is handed down from the earliest Eng
lish to the children of every country
and age since then goes, sold his moth
er's cow for a bag of beans. His mother
became angry and threw the beans
out of the window. The next morn
ing 'she was surprised to look out the
window and see that they had sprout
ed and that an enormous beanstalk
reached from the ground to the sky.
Jack, filled with the spirit of adven
ture, climbed it and landed in a coun
try above the clouds where dwelt an
awful giant and a beautiful princess.
After many adventures Jack killed the
giant, married the princess and all
lived happily ever afterward.
While the picture play is one of
children. It has an . appeal for men
and women Ttlso. There are many beau
tiful scenes and the acting of the
little folks is most entertaining.

2000 IN LEFT IN *
Squadron of First Alabama
Cavalry Departed For
Camp Wheeler, Macon,
Ga., Yesterday
Montgomery, September 9—(Special^
With the departure of a Bquadron of
the First Alabama cavalry for Macon
Sunday morning 2000 men were l^ft ^
in the Alabama brigade for movement
when Camp Wheeler at Macon has
been made ready. Two thousand were
taken from the cavalry and the First
and Second Infantry regiments by the
old Fourth, which became a part of
the "Rainbow” division. The ranks of
the brigade probably will be filled by
selected men.
The squadron leaving Sunday was
commanded by Maj. Ed. L. Anderson
of Birmingham and was composed of
Troop E of Dothan, Troop F of Mont
gomery, Troop G of Elba and Troop H
of Mobile. It has been assigned the
duty of establishing a remount sta
tion near Camp Wheeler for use of
the division and will be In charge of
the station until relieved.
No one knows when the remainder
of the brigade will depart but officers'
and enlisted men believe it will be
only a few days. Camp Wheeler has
been reported ready but final orders
for entrainment have not come from
the southeastern department. General
Steiner is anxious to place his bri- -
gade at Macon as soon as possible as
the best work cannot be done with
expectation of orders at any moment. ^
However, he has given instructions
that all the units shall work without
ceasing until the order to strike tents
is issued. All organizations at Camp
Sheridan had a day of rest Sunday. No
work was done with the exception of
formal guard mount in the afternoon.
Many visitors called at the camp, be
lieving it would be the last Sunday the
Alabama brigade would be in camp.
MaJ. Gen. C. G. Treat notified the
central department at Chicago Sunday
afternoon that Camp Sheridan has been
made ready for the Fifth and Sixth
Ohio infantry regiments and a bat
talion of signal troops, and they are
expected to entrain during the week.
The Third artillery regiment'B site has
already been reported complete and
by the end of the week the four units
will be in camp here.
Carpenters and laborers worked
throughout Sunday in an effort to
complete the camp so the training of
the division may be started within two
weeks.
Two hundred commissioned officers
of the reserve corps who were trained
'in northern training camps arrived
Sunday afternoon and will be assigned
to the Ohio division.
Two hundred officers from Camp
Gordon, many of whom were Alabama
citizens, reported to General Treat
early in the week for service, but they
probably will be recalled and assigned
to the division which will be trained ^
at Camp Wheeler, Macon, and will be
composed of, selected men fropi Ala
bama, Florida and Georgia.

week. The first case to be called is
that of Will Hale, charged with the
killing of a. man named Williams. Hale
has been tried twice and mistrial re
sulted each time.

Try Barley—
Help Save the Wheat!
Barley was the first grain turned to when
wheat became scarce in Europe, for barley like
wheat is one of Nature’s wonder grains.
Malted barley mixed with wheat produces a
really superior food.
Barley is famous for its high protein value, ex
cellent flavor, and its self-digesting qualities.
Always in the making of the famous food
Grape-Nuts
a considerable quantity of whole barley flour,
has been blended with whole wheat.
This constitutes a great saving of wheat for the
government and results in a far more pleasing,
nourishing and digestible food than if made of
wheat alone.
The wonderfully pleasant taste of Grape-Nuts
is largely due to the. processing of Wheat with
malted barley.
