at a gathering of coal and iron men on the top of Red Mountain some 70 years ago. It is brief and in some what homely language, but much to the point. He told of the vast stores of raw materials that kind providence had placed so bounteously in our midst, and of the wonderful prosperity that would come to this district through them. He was singularly prophetic and predict ed the great steel mills that we have at present.
 ''Of course 1 am aware that the re- sources of this district, as to raw ma terials, are known to a great many of the steel ma gnates that will attend the institute. but it will certainly serve the purpose of giving further wide publicity as to the proceedings of the institute are printed and read all over the world wherever the iron and steel industry is known.
 "I consider the institute big thing for Birmingham. It shows that Bir- mingham is on the map so to speak, "f the iron and steel world. We can take much encouragement from the fact that it points to further developments of this great district Colonel Johns, in his speech of nearly a score of years ago. in commenting on the future possibili- ties of the district stated "the half has not been told Since that time great in- dustrial developments have been made. yet I do not hesitate to repeat at this day and time. in regard to the future development of the district the half has rot been told and the meeting of the institute in this city strengthens me Tn that statement"

in the republican ranks and in the House also. Until his recent militant utter naces in support of Germany in the war, Bartholdt has been regarded as a prom ising candidate for the Nobel peace prize and practically all the members of the House had signed a memorial asking that |. be given to him. Also, he is cham pion of Gambrinus, whom he places on a pedestal one inch lower than that on which he enshines Emperor William.
 In addition to these, who soon are to retire are several who have gone their way. this contingent being led by Henry D. Clayton, who was lifted by the Presi- dent from his seat in the House and was placed on the federal district court bench. ]. Harry Covington of Maryland has been made chief justice of the supreme court of the District of Columbia and Walter |. Mccoy of New Jersey an associate jus tice of the same tribunal Andrew J.

Cossacks' Terrible. Attack

frOIn 1lt oltS.
 The Russian Cossacks, who have al- ready wrought havoc amongst the Ger man and Austrian cavalry troops with whom they have come into contact, owe their success mainly to a form of at tack which is peculiarly their own. It is known as the lava" Cossaek horses are specially trained to carry out the maneu- yer. The leading sotnia (squadron) spreads out to right and left, and the others, at full speed. form upon either side of it in semi-circular half-moon. Every man with a lance is attended by d man wearing a sword and all the officers are in front of the men of each sotnia. The other souadrons do not wait for a special order. but at once adopt the same formation, endeavoring to surround the enemy from another, side. With loud shouts. reminiscent of the Red Indian war-whoop the Cossacks rush down CT the foe, and even though the first assault be repulsed. another lava pours dowr on the shaken enemy. This system of at tack takes its name, of course, from the liquid products of volcanic activity.

GARRISON PRAISES WAR RELIEF WORK Great Work Done by Ameri- can Committees in War
 Zone, He Says

Washington, October 13.-In a letter to Assistant Secretary Henry Breckin- ridge, made public by the war depart ment today, Secretary Garrison praises the work of the American relief expe- dition in Europe:
 "Our fellow countrymen were scat tered over the entire continent of Eu- rope" the letter says. Unparalleled events produced unprecedented condi tions. All customary ways of life were dislocated. Transportation and credit facilities were interrupted or de- stroyed.
 The Congress. recognizing the unique and unprecedented situation, charged the executive with the duty of relieving our people.
 "In pursuance of the plan adopted, you and the officers associated with you were sent over with funds to do whatever could be done to aid our dis tressed countrymen. How well the work was done is attested by all those who had opportunity to observe it. Our am- bassadors, diplomatic agencies have written their appreciation and praise. From our own citizens and from for eigners who were brought into contact with the work comes the same appre- ciative commendation. I, who was in constant touch with it all, unquali- fed1y add my own. This is intensely gratifying to me. because it demon strates again what has been so often demonstrated before-that the charac ter. training, experience and ability of our officers peculiarly fit them for eff fective work in any emergency. When ever called upon they display a grasp readiness, discipline and efficiency which insures good service and justifies our pride in themi
 T ask you to make known the con- tents of this letter to each Of the of fcers engaged with you in this work and l shall cause a copy of it to be filed with the efficiency record of each of them.
 ITO you personally, as the one in inn mediate command. I have said 1t all when I say that you fully lived up 10 my confident expectations as to your efficiency" At

Fallen in Battle

Every nation has it's own particular method of identifying it's dead in wa. times, says Tit Bits. Each English sol dier has a small oblong card Cknown of ficially ss Army Form B. 2067), which is stitched inside the tunic. On it are ertered particulars of the mans name and regiment. next-of-kin, etc. Besides this. every article of the mans clothing is stamped with a number which core spends to one written opposite his name in the regimental records. as well as the county depot of his battalion.
 Our method is a little more elaborate than that of Germany, whose soldiers carry a metal disc bearing a number. which corresponds with a number at the Berlin war office. After battle numbers not names. are telegraphed and verified And the effectiveness of this system may he judged by the fact that after the fight ing around Metz in 1870, when the casual ties exceeded 4o.0oo, complete lists were posted in the capital two days later.
 The Japanese system is very similar

PAYING UP DEBTS
 WILL HELP GREATLY

Charles E. Thomas of the Wimberly & Thomas Hardware Company: Tt would be unreasonable for people engaged in trade to expect brisk business all the time. Yet in the commercial world human nature is peculiar. When business ceases to boom or becomes a little depressed people start to complain. That is all wrong. With my concern business is fairly good. If 1t is not as active as we would like to see 1t. I feel grateful that
 it is up to it's present level.
 How best to promote prosperity? One way is for people to pay their pills promptly. There are hundreds of men who are able to pay what they owe, but who hesitate and put off simply because of some excuse such as the European war, which does not effect them in any way whatsoever. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the good which would result from prompt payment of small debts.'

PAYING OF DEBTS PUTS
 MONEY INTO CIRCULATION

M. V. Joseph: Business is getting bet ter.' said MT. Joseph "A great many persons have followed the advice of the local papers and have started paying their small obligations. This enables us to pay our debts and gets the money circulating.
 Birmingham is all right. We have v'eathered storms before and we will get through this one Let us all stop talk ing hard times and get down to busl- ness. It Is all psychological when boiled down to the last analysis. Birmingham is going to show the steel and iron men here this month that we have a great town and we will impress them im- measurably. I am in favor of giving them the time of their lives as they are men of national importance and can do a great deal for this district"

 When the American Iron and Steel in
 stitute comes here we must show them our wonderful district and what it has already done. We must convince them that this is good place to live, among
 hospitable folks, and otherwise interest them. That will make us friends and bring us more wealth. I am glad the newspaper men are to entertain Judge

w. w. Crawford, president of the Amer ican Trust; Stop talking" said MT. Crawford. "Rumor, which usually means a ceaseless tongue, does much damage if unrestrained We must play the game. The business situation here is better and is growing better.
 "The thing to do is to attend to our business and let the other fellow tend to his. We have no cause for excessive pessimism. Play the game and hit the ball. Let us brace up. Show Judge Gary MT. Schwab and the other steel magnates when they visit us during the latter part of this month that we are do- ing business at the old stand. Let us show them our magnificent resources, our incomparable residential section and give them taste of our hospitality. We must make these men our friends. Let us get about it. ''

Otto Marx: "We must be patient said MT Marx. We cannot change the whole commercial fabric in day. Things are not so bad here. They could be a great deal worse The thing to do. as Ned Brace so aptly said some weeks ago, is to pay our small debt, help thereby to keep the wolf away from the door of the merchant Stop talking pessimism and everything will come out all right.
