Turkey will be able to put 40 per cent more men in the field and these men will be full of fanaticism, and re- cent German training. Turkey, too, is stronger than her assailants in ar tillery, and this holds true so far as mounted soldiers are concerned. It is impossible to see-on paper-how the allies can whip Turkey on her own ground.
 Turkey holds Adrianople and Salon. ica, and her armies will from the very start operate defensively on interior lines. She will endeavor to hold against all corners both Adrianople and Salonica. The forces of the allies will at the start be widely scattered and they cannot be quickly concentrated by means of existing railroads. One road from Constantinople extends through Bulgaria and Servia into Aus tria, and another starts at Salonica running northwest through Macedonia to Noribazar. These two lines will help the Turks more than the allies, and the east and west connecting lines are chiefly in Turkish territory.
 In other words, Turkey will have  at the outset an advantage in men, in position and in communications Much depends upon her efforts to crush the Bulgarians. Should that be accom- plished, she could whip the other al- lies in detail without difficulty. War is pretty sure, however, to develop unknown problems. and Turkey may

From Current Literature.
 The other day we were asked by the kind of person you would expect to pro- pound such a question; "Why is an Irish man?" We did not stop to hear his an swer, but the question put LIS to think ing. Just why is an Irlshman? During the next six months a large per cent of the inhabitants of the. United States might answer, For political reasons, of course" Six months ago, when one of our theatres afforded twice the amuse- ment it advertised the quieter portion of the audience therein assembled might have answered ITO interpret the Celtic Movement D
 In seeking the humor of life, the Irish mans highest reason for being is the oftener with him than against him.
 Here are some words concerning the Hibernian spoken by a New England preacher, Nathaniel Ward, in the sober year of 1600--a spark of humor struck from flint: "These Irish, anciently called 'Anthropophagi,' maneaters, have a tra- dition among them that when the devil showed our Saviour all the kingdoms of the earth and their glory, he would not show him Ireland. but reserved it for him self. It is probably true, for he hath kept it ever since for his own peculiar

Centennial Anniversary

The scope of the proposed centen- nial celebration in 1919 will be dis cussed and presumably determined next Wednesday in Montgomery. If the exposition that all have in mind is to be statewide only Montgomery is perhaps the true place in which to hold it, because Montgomery is the capital of the state.
 But if the exposition is to be broad ened until it represents the southeast, and possibly the entire cotton belt, then Birmingham is clearly the better location. Birmingham will by that time contain 1000 people-perhaps more and it's hotel accommodations and railroad facilities will be un- equaled in the sonth.
 A broadening of the scope of the exposition in 1919 is certainly ad- visable. More money would be need ed in getting it ready against the opening day, and good half of this money would have to be guaranteed by the citizens of the city that is des- ignated as the scene of the eXposi- ton. The state and the federal gov  ernment could perhaps be induced to bear portion of the expense, but one half of it surely would have to be borne by the people of the chosen city.
 A big exposition is the thing, and needful preparations should be begun at once. Under no circumstances should less than the great southeast be covered by it, and it would doubt less be better still to extend it's scope until it embraces every part of the cotton belt. A great southern exposi- ton is what Alabama and Birming- ham need and they should demand this when they celebrate the first cen tennial anniversary of the central cot ton state.

The Ad Club

In the brief space of one year, the Birmingham Ad club has done splen- did work. It is preparing to continue its course of progress, its improve ment in conditions, and it's general uplift in local business affairs.
 The club has done great service for Birmingham. It has advertised the city of it's birth from corner to corner of the United States. At the Dallas convention of the Associated Adver- tising Clubs of America, the club, through its small delegation, gained for Birmingham certain and enviable prominence which has already re- dounded in much good.
 In direct or tangible sense, the greatest work of the club has been in protecting the merchants of Bir- mingham from those who in the past formed the habit of selling advertis- ing space on any pretext or excuse. As a result of the work of the club, the merchants of Birmingham, when now requested to buy space of ques- tionable value, refer the solicitor to the protection" committee of the club. The indorsement of that committee is not acquired unless the proposition offered is of sterling quality.
 A conservative estimate places the sum saved the merchants of Birming- ham through the protection" com mittee at $25,000. Twenty-Five thous- and dollars is large sum of money, but in comparison with the principle which the club has established, it amounts to little.
 The club has done and is still doing a great work. It deserves the com mendation of all the people.

Fees in Jefferson County

Chairman Altman does not speak mechanically when he discusses the fee system in this county. He knows whereof he affirms. He is the man on the spot. It is, he says, "the poor man, the man without influence, the man without friends, who is first cast into prison for some trival offense and carted from the prison to the peniten- tiary." Mir. Altman goes on to relate how this has been done in the past. Deputy sheriffs have employed negro spotters," he says, "who not only went about to find crap games in progress, but who also worked up games so that the participants in them could be ar rested and jailed. These deputies were paid on a sliding scale according to the business they brought in. Eleven separate cases were docketed against an Italian WOIldn WIO hhu INV oi""'A children. and Judge Greene's sense of justice is all that saved the woman from being sent to the penitentiary To the man who swears out warrant one dollar is paid and this has become in this county a regular branch of business.
 Our criminal judges are doing their best to minimize the evils of the fee system. In the month of June 1000 cases were dismissed in the criminal court, but every one of the 1000 cases yielded fees to the fee brigade in this county. The taxpayers pay those fees.
 Will not the people of all the other counties come to the relief of Jeffer- son in this matter? No other county will be affected by the pending con stitutional amendment but Jefferson. may not this county expect the aid of the other counties in this important matter? Aid us to rid the county and the state of this great scandal.

cultural sections should gain great number of small farmers within the next two or three years.
 It used to be that cotton was the Alabama farmers only money crop. The south was large buyer of corn and other food stuffs. Today this state is growing enough corn for it's own use and it may be safely predicted that within the next two or three years Alabama's corn will be very important money crop This progress in agriculture has been due in a great measure to the improved scientific methods that are now applied to the cultivation of the soil. The govern ment demonstration work has been a great thing. The good the boys corn clubs have done cannot be over esti- mated. Alabama is coming to be known as an exceptionally favored truck farming state and it. will soon be second to none in the volume of its marketable fruits and vegetables.
 Alabama is known far and wide for it's coal and iron, but it is only in very recent years that it has been exploited as a state of varied and profitable agriculture outside of cot ton. The Alabama Farm Land con gress, which meets in Mobile next month, should be largely attended. The more that Alabama farming is discussed the better it will be for all. Hundreds of homeseekers are expected to settle on small farms in this state during the coming winter so as to be ready to make truck crops for the spring and summer of next year. And a year hence new comers should be counted by the thousand. Alabama's in 1920 should show gain over 1910 of fully 5OO,O0O.

Physicians and Surgeons

"I noticed in the group cut of physi- clans and surgeons treating Colonel Roosevelt, or in consultation on his case, that of Dr. John A. wyeth, the noted surgeon of New York, and 1t gives me an opportunity to correct an error (met- onymic gymnastics) in certain allusions I

The New Traffic Manager

"The Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan tic railroad did a good thing for itself when it induced J. L. Edwards to accept tine position of traffic manager" said a well known railroad man.
 For about four years MT. Edwards was commercial agent of the Southern railroad with headquarters in Birming- ham. A year ago he gave up that posi- ton to become Atlanta manager for the Bonnyman- Norman Coal and Iron com pany of Birmingham. He made suc- cess of his coal business, and as he is one of the best freight men In the south he will do much to increase the traffic of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic. Mir. Edwards is a man of energy. busi- ness judgment and good address; and combined with experiences these qualities will make a high class traffic official"

. .uoosIER POET. STORY

From the Christian Herald.
 One day many years ago Gen. Don Piatt encountered a local constable In the act of gathering in a seedy looking individual who appeared to be terribly i'll. Refining up he asked, What are you going to do with that man."
