Regarding Anti-Kaiser Sentiment

"The sentiment in many parts of this country seems to be against Germany in this European war" said R. $. Henning of Chicago.
 Judging from expressions I have heard frore men who live in different sections of the country, sentiment is strongly on the side of France. There is no feeling against the German people as a whole, but the Kaiser and the German govern ment had much to do with bringing on a general conflict at least that is the way it strikes me.
 If the war were confined to Austria and Serva, and Germany and Russia, then sentiment would probably have been pro-German. It certainly would not have been so strongly anti-German But as between Germany and France and Ger many and England, sentiment is decidedly on the side of France and England The German Emperor has many fine quail ties. His weakness is his ego I really believe that he felt that he could whip the whole of Europe combined against him. He has made great mistake and the best thing for him to do is to accept the good offices of the United States and have this war ended speedily If it con tinueS several weeks Germany will be badly whipped and the German empire will, I believe, fall to pieces.'

Birmingham to Chattanooga

T have received from Mr. Houston R. Harper, the enterprising manager of the Hotel Patten of Chattanooga, interesting literature sketching the scenic beauties and historic parks around the Tennessee city; also, in leafiet form, An Ideal Au- tomobile Tour-Birmingham to Chatta- nooga, Y" said member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 A trip by automobile in the open air is most invigorating and helpful for the entire body and nerves says the leaflet It is better than medicine or a week S stay at home. The trip from Birming- ham to Chattanooga combines all condi- tions to make it an ideal tour-with enough excitement to keep up interest, yet with all the elements of safety The roads are good, and the scenery through Wills valley and for 80 miles along the foot of Lookout mountain, is picturesque, historic and delightful. The distance from Birmingham to Chattanooga is 15l miles, and the trip can be made in 10 or 12 hours
 The leafiet was prepared and published by the Chattanooga Automobile club A map accompanies the publication, giving two excellent routes-one direct from this city by way of Attalla, Collinsville and Rising Pawn, the other diverging at Ashville and going through Gadsden, Center Cedar Bluff. Gayiesville and Raceoon Mills"

The First Air Battle

The imagination is stirred by the ntory in the newspapers of the first conflict in the air, which was waged over the little village of Foul, oil the Franco-German border. Silhouetted against the sunset sky, whose crimson stains were fitting background for the fatal termination of the struggle, a French aviator in flying machine attacked a huged Zeppelin airship and riddled it with bullets. After sending the airship to the earth wreck the gallant Frenchman lost control of his monoplane and was killed.
 We may exepect more engagements of this sort in the general war by which Europe is now confronted. They will be more thrilling than any writer of fiction has ever dreamed of and they will try mems souls as facing a heavy cannonde could not do. The hov- ering airship that created panic among the villagers of Toul, because they feared it would destroy them by dropping bombs, is merely the fore runner of many other aircraft which will doubtless play an important part in the struggle, particularly in spying on the enemy's Qualifications and ill dropping destructive bombs.
 It is conceivable that aviators will be able to do tremendous amount of damage, although the price of such service will be the lives of the men who enter it. With the air craft of the enemy to contend with and the danger of being destroyed by well-aimed saots from below, there will be little hope for the airman to escape after his deadly work is done. Even scouting will be far more dangerous than such duty would be on the land or the Wa ter. The aerial spy will not have those means of concealment and evasion possible to the spy who merely enters the enemy's lines His ability to gather valuable information will be greatly augmented, but so will be the risk of his undertaking.

From the Bennington tVt.) Banner.
 The news dispatches varry the impress sion that the tower on Stratton mountain which was dedicated a few days ago. is on or near the place where Daniel Web ster made great campaign address in 1S40. As a matter of fact, the places are miles apart, though in the same town. The tower is on top of Stratton mountain, one of the finest peaks If the Green noun tair range, while the scene of Webster s ac6ress was on gentle rise of ground near Grouts pond and alongside the road from Arlington over the mountain pass through Sunderland and Stratton to Wardsboro and Jamaica. To the present ger eration this old road through Strat- ton seems strange place for 6 political rally. The farms. which were probably cultivated there 75 years ago, have grown up to forest and the buildings have dis appeared.

Ogden of the Alabama Merchants association, in an official letter to the merchants an- nouncing the convention says: We wish to repeat the successful meeting of last year and on larger scale. Your presence is needed to aid in bringing this about" MT. Ogden gives an outline of the programme, in which he says that educational and recrea- tional features are well balanced ? The Chamber of Commerce Is supple menting President Ogden's circular by cordial letter of invitation, which will be mailed to merchants and others throughout the state.
 These annual affairs which bring the merchants together in Birming- ham are not only pleasant socially, but they can but result in good in a business way. The local manufactur- CTS and wholesale merchants get well acquainted with their out-of-town merchant friends, and this acquaint, ance is, of course, of mutual benefit.

No gathering held here last year surpassed in interest the convention of the North Alabama merchants. The attendance was large, and the visitors expressed themselves with much en- thusiasm in the matter of Birming- hams hospitality. Members of the Chamber of Commerce vied with each other in making the merchants feel "at home," and in view of the great success of the convention, it was de- cided to extend the scope of the as sociation to the entire state.
 The second annual convention will be held August 26-27. It is expected that several thousand merchants will

Young Naff is son of w. H. Nan of Birmingham and was born here about 90 years ago. The Naffs have re- sided in Birmingham since it was a vil- lage, and Professor Nan taught many young men who have achieved success here and elsewhere.

The Hague Tribunal

As President Wilson prefaced his Gender of the good offices of the Uni ted States to the European powers now at war by calling attention to The Hague convention, public interest will be drawn anew to the worlds peace tribunal.
 The Hague court is a permanent in stitution for international arbitration, and was founded as result of the in- ternational peace conference held in 1899. The conference met in response to an address issued by Emperor Nicholas of Russia. Its object was to consider the problems of universal peace, especially through the inter- national "dimunition of armaments of land and sea and the prevention of armed conflicts by pacific diplomatic procedure.'
 The Czar's invitation was accepted by all the governments to whom it was rendered. Emperor William hesi- tated, however. Germany seemed adverse to the peace conference prof ect; but finding that all the other great powers were to be represented the Emperor finally accepted and his government became one of the sigma. tories. Each nation was represented by distinguished diplomatists, states men and soldiers. Among the Ameri- cans accredited to the conference was Andrew D. White, ex-president oi Cornell university, who was at the time ambassador to Germany.
 Three committees were formed tc deal respectively with mediation anc arbitration, disarmament and regula. tons of warfare. The first and mos, Important of the conventions embody.

Mediation in Order

With most of Europe in state of war, the situation has become top heavy. So thorough has been the preparations for bloody conflict that it might seem as if several decisive bat ties would have to be fought before mediation were in order, but the very magnitude of the war plans has caused rapid specialization of sen timent throughout Christendom that the billigerents should without hesita- tion submit to arbitration.
 There was bloodshed in Belgium yesterday. At Liege the Germans were repulsed, and unless reports be exaggerated several thousand lay dead or wounded on the field. The Belgians were on the defensive, and acquitted themselves with valour. It has been remarked ever since Austria Hungary declared war on Servia that all the great powers of Europe were well prepared for the conflict. The mobilization of armies proceeded with dispatch, and now that the fighting legions are ready for the firing line, military observers are expecting some momentous battles before the end of the week, for while the fight at Liege resulted in a long death list the carnage that will follow, unless the war be soon terminated, will reduce the preliminary action to a skirmish.
 President Wilson's message, cabled to the powers tending the good offices of the United States and suggesting The Hague peace court as proper tribunal, was timely and impressive. The head of no nation has a more potential personality than President Wilson, and his tender, although ex- pressed in a few words and in diplo- matic terms, contained note of sin cerity which cannot fail to compel consideration on the part of those to whom the message was addressed.
 While it may be that the war will continue until the powers in conflict have dealt few crushing blows to the enemy by way of trying out their modern armament, hostilities cannot last long. Mediation is more in vogue today than ever, and Presi- dent Wilson is the person above all others in high position to set the ma chinery in motion.
 All lovers of peace are ready to unite in earnest prayer for a truce. The principle of mediation once ac- cepted war is at an end. Austria Hungary's grievance against Servia; Germany's grievance against Russia; Frances grievance against Germany, and so on, will be calmly considered and properly adjudged by any board of arbitration that the powers in con- flict may agree upon.
 If there was ever time when medi- ation was demanded by an enlightened public sentiment surely that time is now.
