PokED FUN At VOLUNTEERS
Pitts Slap At the Amateur soldiers
~ England Quoted BY Or.
Simon FIexner.

DR.. Simon Texner, the distin-
guished physician At the head Of the
Rockefeller institute, said at a dim
ner in New York, apropos Of GER
tain mooted legislation against med
ical research:
"Our friends would surround
medical research with SO many re-
strictions and hindrances as to make
it ridiculous. They would, in fact,
put it in the position Of the English
volunteers.
"When England, you know, was
threatened by a French invasion in
1902 there were a great many vol
unteers enlisted. But the articles
of incorporation Of these volunteers
guarded them very carefully against
too much fighting. The volunteers
were not to take the field except in
case of actual INVASION They were
not to be put on war rations except
in case of actual INVASION They
were not to be drilled hard except
in case of actual INVASION
"When Pitt, who was then war
den of the Cirque Ports, read these
articles he frowned and pished. Fl
nally, on towards the end of the
document, he came to a provision
that under no circumstances were
the volunteers to leave the country.
Here he lost patience, and, selling
a pen, he added to that provision the
clause:
"'Except in case of actual inva-
sion.'"

ARTISAN WATER IN
 MONTGOMERY LOW

Montgomery, September 16 6-(SpeciaD.- Much of Montgomerys vaunted glory has been dragging on the ground during the past few hours as a result of failure Of the electric water pumps of the city to furnish sufficient of an artesian supply of water for the city's wants. Several days ago one of the pumps got out of commission, and haste was made to rem edy the wrong, but even this haste was not commensurate with the draught on the reservoir. The water level In the reservoirs had been reduced from IS feet to two feet between Friday noon and Sat urday afternoon, at which time river wat er filtered by the best agencies and meth ods, was allowed into the tanks.
 It has been the boast of the citizens that the artesion water supply of Ala bama's capital city has been the best in the entire United States, numerous chemi- cal analyses revealing the fact that the water is not only exceptionally free from germs, but that 1t is as healthful as any water in the country. No fear is mani tested as result of the river water, but the citys vanity has been hurt.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Miss Johnston's Book

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 If you would like to get some Idea of what real war is, read Miss Mary John ston's last book, "The Long Roll It will make your hair rise on your head, and you will wonder how any soldiers could stand such hardships and make such marches. Somebody that was there has told her all about it. and she has given this to the public. l thought knew good deal about Stonewall Jack son and his army, but she tells many things that I never heard or read of, and they were told her by his own soldiers
 Wilcoxs Alabama brigade was sent to reinforce him at Harper's Ferry, and we went with him into Maryland and fought the battle of Sharpsburg under his direc- ton. We also saw him and his troops during the seven days battle around Richmond, at Fredericksburg. and several times on the march. This certainly was one of the most remarkable military gen. fuses ever known to man, and all of the American people should be proud of him and study his military career.
 Many people do not understand what f, meant by the north and south sides when we speak of the battles around Richmond and Petersburg. Let me ex- plain: The city of Richmond Is on the north side of the James river and Peters burg is on the south side; Lees line of battle from the north side to the south side was at least 25 miles in length. While there was a great deal of heavy fighting on the Richmond side during the last year of the war, the great struggle of a,ms was in the seige at Petersburg.
