GERMAN MINISTER
 ASKS PREPARATION
The Revolutionists Forced Engineer Franz Ritter to Act as
 Servant
EEgTM N Il


 Mexico City June 26.-Because a group of revolutionists. entrusted with the work of maintaining order at Vega Dementizilan in the state of Hidalgo, forced Franz Ritter, a civil engineer, to remove his shoes and then barefooted wait upon them like an ordinary ser want, the German minister, Admiral Paul Von Hintze, has demanded re- paration from the Mexican government lie also has demanded indemnity for losses incurred by the company for which Ritter was working. The gov ernment has ordered an investigation of the charges,
 Ritter was engaged in carrying out an irrigation project in Hidalgo. Ac- cording to his story, he admits asking the little band of Maderists to retire. believing that their presence would re- suit in disorders. His suggestion was not well recelVed and he alleges he was then subjected to numerous indignities which culmin- ated in an effort to shoot him. That he was not killed he ascribes to poor craftsmanship. Another man was killed by the volley fired at him, he says. The warehouse of the company Is said to have been sacked and then burned.

as he Is BABY, you have sacred duty toward him, and the first thing that you owe him, Mrs. Mother, is to keep him WELL.
 You say you haven't the money to buy the proper milk for him or to have a physician to see him?
 You admit that your house is hot and uncomfortable? 4
 You say that you are doing the best you can for your baby under the circum- stances?
 No. you are not.
 If you haven't the money to get your baby the proper milk-if he is a bottle fed baby; if your baby is sick and gasp- ing tor air and comfort; if your baby is wasting away day by day, and you don't know what to do for him--you ARE NOT DOING YOUR BEST FOR HIM.
 I don't see how a woman who has ever held a pink baby in her arms could ever get over losing it. To come back empty handed after loving and nursing that precious little bit of umanity-no-there could be nothing worse.
 Please, Mrs. Mother of a Sick Baby, listen to the story I bring to you today, won't you?

 If I came and knocked at your door and told you that your baby had been left a great sum of money you'd listen. wouldn't you?
 Well, that's precisely the nature of the message that I have for you today, ex- cept that the inheritance left you rbaby is a great deal better than money-for it's the opportunity to get well.
 Health is better than wealth, after all, and when you, Mrs. Mother of Sick Baby, refuse to put out your hand and claim for your little child the inheritance bequeathed it by little band of kind hearted men and women-you are not doing your duty to your child.

AFTERNOON TEA" DAY
 AT COUNTRY CLUB

Again this afternoon the Country club will dispense it's hospitality from 6 to ' o'clock at one of the teas that are bring ipg such cheer to the men and women lingering in the city during the heated term. Arrangements will be made as usual for an outdoor function, but as it is well known that even in the month of red roses the whims of the weather often thwart the best laid plans, the club yeranda will be prepared for the guests in the event of showers.
 F Unlike most large cities Birmingham possesses few places adapted to outdoor fetes. Advantages has never been taken of the Country cvlub lawn for this pur- pose until this season when it has caught popular fancy to motor out and spend the hour before dusk on the club green. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur- days of each week the club lawn is dot ted with daintily gowned women fitting about from table to table. coming up the long walk from the entrance or descend ing from automobiles. On such occa- sons the club seems in festival array the attractiveness of the women who are its guests giving its a gala air. Every one gives voice to admiration of the place and there are frequent expressions of wonder that one or another has not been to the teas before.

In this pleasing role of club hostess have been seen during the several weeks of the tea Mrs. Frank Fowlkes, Mrs. John w. Tomlinson, Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr., Hrs. Bruce Brewer. Mrs. William S. Lowell, Mrs. J. D. Kirk patrick, Mrs. William H. Kettig, Mrs. Shipman and Mrs. Felix Drennen. The last three were hostesses the past week and will continue during the present one, a fact which promises much for the en- joyment of those who join them. They made the most pleasant arrangements last week, dainty ices which were evil dence in their attractiveness, of the art of one of the most capable hostesses in society-Mrs. Kettig-adding to the pleas ure of the surroundings.
 Among those noted at the teas rurfng the week were Mrs. John M. Caldwell Mrs. Nathan L. Miller, MT. and Mrs. E. w. Barrett, MT. and Mrs. Felix Dren- nen, Mrs. James Bowron, Mrs. Will Jor- dan.

BANKER MORSE'S
 PLEAS BASELESS

New York, June 26.-United States Dis trict Attorney Wise, in whose jurisdic- ton Charles w. Morse was convicted. de- clared tonight that he knew of no sound basis in law for either of the pleas ad- vanced by counsel for the convicted banker In applying for habeas corpus at Atlanta Morses sentence was for fifteen years. The maximum penalty or any one count is ten years and there was no specification of counts in the sen tence imposed.
 'The gross sentence is constantly em ployed by judges" he said. Morse was convicted on fifty-two counts He might have been sentenced to 520 years, or ter years on each count. Now if any two of these f1fty-two counts hold good, the sentence is legal. is 1t not?"
 As to the legality of imprisoning Morse convicted of a misdemeanor. in a prison where felons are imprisoned Mt Wise said that was a matter of federal stat ute, and statute that he had never heard questioned.

r The theatrical event of last winter which probably stands out most viyidly in the minds of the local theatre-going public was the coming of Sarah Bern hardt. Her play, her appearance on the stage, feeting glimpses of her as, accom- panied by two maids, she shopped down. town, have been inspiration for an occa- sional bon mot in every discussion of the etrical happenings. She attracted a packed house here as everywhere, for where is the community into which the immortal Sara has come nnheralded as the supreme artiste? And here as else where her art, maybe, but her fame most of all, proved the attraction. In his humorous, keenly critical style, the edi- toriai writer in Town and Country, tells of the recent appearance of Bernhardt in New York city.
 Sarah, the divine, the wonderful, the immortal" he says, returns to New York in the heat and humidity of the early summer and plays Sister Beatrice in French to full and perspiring house. The New Theatre company,s with the charming Miss Edith Wynne Matthison produced Sister Beatrice in English in the height of the New York season and drew thin houses which sat huddled up in frozen gloom. Who shall say then that the plays tine thing? In America, at least, the play is not and never has been, the thing. It is the star first and last and all the time. Not all the scenic magnificence within the resources of the New Theatre could draw the public to this rather dull play of Maeterlinck when the part of Sister Beatrice was in the hands of an intelligent and praiseworthy but uninspired young woman. Along comes Sarah Bernhardt with her 60 or 70 years and no stage setting to speak of, and the public crowds to see her; just as
 it crowds to hear Caruso sing, whatever the opera may be.
 Doubtless a great tribute Is paid to Sarah. But do not imagine that Maeter- linck has anything to do with her sue cess. To begin with the lines are in French and therefore unintellgible to at
 least three-fifths of the audience. One critic thought they sounded more beauti- ful in French. Maeterlinck's lines gener- ally do; one can then invest them with all manner of meanings and significances which they do not possess. If Sarah re- cited the alphabet the result would be beautiful. Indeed. good deal of Maeter-
 inck has the simplicity of the alphabet It will be noted that the short play which preceded Sister Beatrice was just as suc- cessful, although 1t is palpably an old fashioned and amateurish affair. Sarah played Jean Marie 40 years ago and 1t was no better then than 1t is now. But why bother about the play when it is a question of the greatest star of the the atricaI heaven? This may be a melan- choly thought for those who are en- deavorlng to uplift the dramatic taste of theo public, but 1t Is one that canont be evaded. There is a report, by the way. that MT. William Gillette is the first choice for manager of the new New Theatre"
