Germans Oyerrunning Belgium

The general engagement between the Germans and the allies apparently will be again delayed unless the op- erations around Namur, which was partially invested yesterday, brings on collision in force.
 The Belgian army has retired on its base, Antwerp, one of the strong est fortified cities in Europe. Troop movements of Germans yesterday in- dicated that they intended to overrun the whole of Belgium before advancing into France, realizing the danger to their right flank from Antwerp, occu- pied by the Belgian army.
 If the Germans propose to take Ant werp, they have a gigantic task ahead of them. The town can receive succor at any time from the sea, swept clean by British memo war, and judging from the defense at Liege it will be next year before the city falls-if it ever does.
 In the meanwhile, the allies have ample opportunity to concentrate a superior force and themselves execute flanking movement.

As to an American Pone

Twill there ever be an American pope? Is question that has been frequently asked in recent times" remarked lay- man.
 Ut is possible, but not probable, that within the next 50 years an American may be chosen. It Is an interesting fact that one of the cardinals prominently mentioned as the successor to Plus x is naturalized citizen of the United States -Diomede Falconio-but being a native of Italy and now living in Rome. he is set down in the list as an Italian. As A young priest Cardinal Falconio was sent to the United States, and as he was to remain sometime he took out naturaliza- tion papers. Several years ago he was commissioned as papal delegate at Wash ington Few foreigners have been so thoroughly Americanized.
 My guess is that Cardinal Merry del Val, who has been secretary of state ever since the accession of the late Plus x to the papal office, will be the next pope. While there have been a few exceptions to the rule, all the popes in the recent centuries have, l believe, been Italians. Should Cardinal Merry del Val be chosen he will be an exception, for he is listed as a Spaniard, although on his mother s side he is Irish.'

ToLsroY,s WONDERFUL VISION

The late Count Tolstoy's vision of the war. as it found expression as far back as 1910' was published last year, but 1t attracted little general attention then. Now, however, as the large outlines of the tragic drama are staggering the world, the message of the famous old seer is being reproduced and will be eagerly read. According to the New York Sun the words of Count Tolstoy were taken down by his grandniece The German Emperor is said to have been profoundly impressed by this prophecy. Tolstoy said
 This is revelation of events of universal character which must shortly come to pass. Their spiritual outlines are now before my eyes. I see floating upon the surface of the sea of human fate the huge silhouette of a nude woman. She is-with her beauty, her boise, her smile, her iewels-a super-venus.
 Nations rush madly after her, each of them eager to attract her especially. But she, like an eternal courtezan, f1irts with all. In her hair ornaments of dia- monds and rubies is engraved her name 'Commercialism. As alluring and bewitch- HE as Sut Ste1lS lfluCH ueStfuCtlOii anu agony follow in her wake. Her breath, reeking of sordid transactions, her voice of metallic character like gold. and her look of greed are so much poison to the nations who fall victims to her charms.
 And. behold, she has three gigantic arms with three torches of universal cor ruption in her hand The first torch rep resents the flame of war, that the beauti- full courtezan carried from city to city and country to country. Patriotism an swers with flashes of honest flame, but the end is the roar of guns and mus ketry.
 The second torch bears the flame of bigotry and hypocrisy. It carries the lamps only in temples and on the altars of sacred institutions. It carries the seed of falsity and fanaticism. It kindles the minds that are still in cradles and follows them to their graves.
 ''The third torch is that of the law, that dangerous foundation of all unauthentic traditions, which first does its fatal work in the family, then sweeps through the larger worlds of literature, art and states manship.
 The great eonfagration will start about 1912, set by the torch of the first arm in the countries of southeastern Europe It will result in destructive calamity in 1915.
 Tn that year I see all Europe in flames and bleeding. l hear the lamentations of huge battlefields. But about the year 1915 a strange figure from the north-a new Napoleon-enters the stage of the bloody drama
 He is a man of little militaristic train ing. writer or journalist. but in his grip most of Europe will remain till 1925. The end of the great calamity will mark a new political era for the old world
 There will be left no empires and king doms, but the world will form a fedora ton of the United States of Nations. There will remain only four great giants the Anglo Saxons. the Latins, the Slavs and the Mongolians.'

ToMoRRow-TRIAL OF DON PANTALEoN sA

putting on weight right along and grow- ing taller with a rapidity which has never been observed before. And. according to all indications, it seems that in the some- what distant future the females of the species" will be much taller than the male" One of the main reasons ascribed to this development is the growing love of sports and outdoor exercises on the part of women. They have more time to devote to sports while the men are busy pursuing their business interests.
 Careful investigation by the British as- sociation spread over lengthy period shows that girls of IS nowadays are tall CT than the boys of the same age. The, most striking development of the girls takes place between the eleventh and thirteenth years. Before that the boys and girls are generally about equal. ]. The late Dr. Forbes Winslow, a spe- cialist in mental diseases. held that tho increase in lunacy was so great that we would all be mad race in 300 years or so. But he also thought that it was pos sible that the mad world might give way in time to a race of geniuses-a state of affairs however. which. in some peoples minds, would be just as mad as the mad era preceding it.

yirginia's Prohibition Contest

There is less excitement in the yir- ginia state wide prohibition campaign than had imagined" said w. W. Dris- coll of Philadelphia.
 'l spent several days in the Old Dominion in the spring, and many SUD- porters of local option seemed to think then that the statewide proposition would carry. Not a few of them ap- peared to take prohibition for granted but when I was in Richmond a few days ago there was an undercurrent of hope, if not confidence, that the state would remain in the local option col umn. l do not know what percentage of Virginia is dry; but few local op- tion states, l understand have so many towns where the sale of liquor Is pro- hibited, The fact that there is so much local prohibition in the state led many people to think that the state widers would have sweeping majority; but other states with similar conditions have. voted against state wide prohi- bition. Texas was a notable example. and the same may be said of Alabama Nearly all of Alabama is dry, but still it is a local option state. The Virginia election takes place in September. and the returns will be awaited with much iptaroet,

FUTURE FORESTS IN AMERitA

From Farm and Preside.
 It is just possible that goodly pro- portion of the future forest products will. come from the Atlantic coastal rlain-7 ,ooO. .ooo acres of which are in the state of Virginia. It is mostly suited to agriculture but not third of it is cropped yearly. The forestry prospects of this area lie in the ease with which 1t may be used for the growing of trees. In the first place 1t tends to rlant itself. though artificial seeding. service says: "Various native pines spring up readily and thrive" Mark tsi of timber are close. Water transpor- tatioris available. The cost of keeping
 up a forest is insignificant. chiefly fire protection. One of the best pines known is the loblolly pine-otherwise
 known as the "Oldfield," rosemary" or slash" pine, which grows natur- ally in these regions. The forestry peo-
 pie are of the opinion that owners
 of farms in this region would do well
 to dedicate portions of their lands to
 these trees. It takes from 20 to 70 ytars to make crop. but it can be shown that without counting on ris- ing prices for lumber a return of from , to 10 per cent can be expected on an investment of from s to SIT an acre. Mer who plan for long time ahead should be interested in this.

 A woman planes living expenses on what her husband eats. A man planes them on what his wife wears Lots of good people who wouldn't think of touching liquor think nothing of going on a gossip jag.

Keeping Level Headed

That was reasonable and whole some message which Congressman Heflin sent to the Farmers union in session at Birmingham Few men in the south understand the cotton situa- tion as well as the congressman from the Fifth Alabama district. MT. Heflin and other prominent men conversant with cotton market conditions urge the farmer to hold until the govern ment's plan, now being worked out to aid the cotton farmer, is perfected and in operation. "I am certain that something will be done at an early date" said MT. Heflin He then tells of advices which have been received in Washington that in spite of the war, England will take 3,O00,0 bales.
 There is no reason why this crop should sell below .12 1-2 cents per pound" said Mr. Heflin. q expect to see some of it sell for 15 cents before this time next year The war will give to American cotton mills new markets and greatly increase their business abroad and thus enable them to pay a better price for cotton than they have paid for the last five years"
 MT Heflin concludes his message by telling the farmer if he will keep a level head and not allow himself to be stampeded, this cotton situation will be taken care of in a satisfactory man her.
 The farmer is keeping a level head. Hold cotton for better prices" is familiar advice, and has been urged often in years past. It is not always convenient for the farmer to hold his cash crop: but this is one of the times when he will be able to do SO at least most farmers will be able to hold their cotton until a market is pro- vided and adjusted to war conditions. As MT. kHeflin says: "The greatest factor in this fight is the farmer him. self,' and it is safe to assume that the farmer will come out of 1t successfully.

 His Books in Demand

Joseph H. Parsons of Talladega and Birmingham is registered at the Molton. He spent the greater part of the sum- mer In Talladega but came to Birmingham early in the week to spend sometime. Mr Parsons is the author of work in two volumes: Historical Papers Upon Men and Events of Rare Interest in The Napoleonic Epoch"
 While MT. Parsons contribution to his toric literature Is of especial interest to those readers who never tire of Napo- leon, the work is brought virtually down 10 date and in 1t the author discusses many burning questions of the present time.
 There was a very good demand for my work when it was first published several months ago, and now in view of the European war there is a marked in crease in the demand" said MT. Par sons. These two volunfes are finding their way into all the public libraries as well. and the favorable reviews that nave been printed have naturally been gratifying to me.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF ARBUTHNoT AND AMBRIsTER

the woods. It was then shown by the| prosecution that Arbuthnot had in his pos Il session 10 kegs of powder.
 Although offered the services of coun-I sel the prisoner spoke in his own defense| He said that the letter to his son was| only to enable him to save his propertyl and to warn the Indians to submit to thej Americans; and as to the powder, he said | it was no more than new supply that was needed for his trading and hunting| with the Indians.
 The court then ruled that whatever the purport of the writer when sending the letter, whether for innocent purposes or not, it nevertheless had enabled the Indians to escape annihilation. Also that if he had sold the 10 kegs of powder % the Indians at this time it would make a great difference in the attitude of the hostiles.
 The courtmartial then sentenced thu prisoner to death by hanging. Although his fate was undeserved, it would not have overtaken a man of prudence
 The same court. consisting of Brevet Major General Gaines. six officers of the militia and six officers of the regular army, then tried Ambrister He pleaded not guilty and showed that in his defense, his escapades were not for the purpose of wrongdoing, but more for the love of adventure. He was the nephew of the governor of New Providence, and was about to return to England, where he ex- pected to be married, but love of adven- ture had led him to the Indian trouble in Florida. He was first sentenced to be shot, but the court seeing that he had had no sinister designs, reduced this sem tence to one of ''50 lashes on the bare back and to one years imprisonment al hard labor.'
 But Jackson was not to be robbed of his revenge. he ruled that the court had not the power to pardon and conse- quently had not the power to reduce sentence, therefore the original sentence was carried out on April g. On the same day. Arbuthnot was hung from the yards of his own vessel.
 This execution later caused much inter- national dissatisfaction. and nearly led to war, but Jackson and Secretary Ada ms successfully showed that they vert in the right and although the sentence had been brutally stern. it had not broken the ip- ternational relations.
