Joy Riding al, the Front"

An article in the London Daily News of recent date says: 'It is too early to comment on the interesting activity within the region of fire of very many private persons with self-imposed mis- sions, and on the work of unofficial ambulance corps, now grown so numerous that the military are falling over them everywhere. It has been evident to any one who has travelled lately in France and Belgium that the authorities would soon have to deal with the unauthorized and useless busybodies, many of them in khaki and the rest in some sort of attrac- tive uniform, met with everywhere on the lines of communication. The war being so near home has proved more attractive to the normally idle class than dubious problem plays or notori- ous novels. Joy riding in the zone of fire is a form of mental excitement in these days, when laws have gone to the dogs, which has naturally at tracted its enthusiasts, and if any one has private car and Red Cross badge it is not at all difficult to in- dulge."
 Imagine the sort of people who would even risk their worthless lives for the sake of morbid craving for excitement, or the silly desire to as- sume an air of importance to which their abilities in no way entitle them! In spite of the tremendous upheaval that has shaken Europe to it's founda- tions and the scenes of horror which, to use hackneyed phrase, "stagger humanity" these human sparrows hop and twitter about in the war zone, getting in the way of people who real ly have something to do and are doing it, or else merely exposing themselves to the ridicule that is their normal portion in life.
 Perhaps there is some excuse for the activity of unofficial ambulance corps. Those who do such work are doubtless actuated by humane motives and are trying to be useful, but per sons with good intentions are notori- ous for blundering and the presuma- bly, haphazard work of these people may do more harm than good.
 As for the joy riders, one can only hope that sooner or later they will meet the fate they so richly deserve.

Enormous British War Loan

Nothing could demonstrate more clearly the confidence which the peo- pie of Great Britain have in the ability of the allies to come out victorious in the war than the fact that the loan of e35O, 1000, O,0OO-$1, ,750, ,OO0, ,00O-has been largely oversubscribed. There was a great rush on the part of all we'll to-do subjects who were glad of the opportunity of attesting their loyalty.
 Chancellor Lloyd George pointed out that notable feature of the sub- scriptions was the vast number of in- dividuals applying for small allot- ments. He was elated

but very large increase. This is par ucularly notable locally where orders for war material have greatly stimu- lated trade, and there have been ex- cellent sales. The whole situation looks better, in spite of the fact that prices are still as low as ever. It would seem at prevailing prices as if consumers could not possibly make mistake in buying all they could handle.
 One reason why the agricultural inn plement men have had small sales is the bad advice of the country bank CTS. These have been unduly alarmed and have been making a campaign of Keep close to shore'-'don't buy a thing keep your money in the bank and walt etc. If the whole country Followed this plan and stopped all kinds of purchases except food enough to keep alive, business would be par alyzed. Immense harm has been done by this kind of authoritative advice. It now looks as If we were returning to a saner viewpoint and were begin ming to realize that holding back would never get us anything and that the real solution of our troubles will only be found in pushing forward

GERMAN INITIATIVE

The German soldier has sometimes been charged in the newspapers with a lack of initiative. So general is this idea that a reviewer of General Bernhardi's book on Cavalry recently expressed surprise that this German writer throughout insisted on the development of initiative. The point Is taken up in discussion in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, of the German training of officers. Contrasting 1t with the British methods the Britannica says:
 'The Germans attend more closely to detail-being even miscroscopical-and 1t has been said that little grit in the German military machine would cause a cessation of its working. Unfortunately for this argument, the German army has not yet given any signs of cessation of work. 90 few deviations from the smooth working the military machine being per- mitted that the introduction of grit Into this air-tight easing is practically impossi- bls.

Immigration and Farm Settlers

l One of the results of wars, revolu- tions or social depressions in Europe has been a large tide if immigration to the United States. Immediately following the present war foreigners will begin to land on our shores in greater numbers than ever before. While considerable percentage of the immigrants may not be of par ticularly desirable class. the majority | of them will be such as this country has been seeking. There will be among the newcomers many industrious arti- sans and they will settle for the most part in the large cities of the east and the middle west. There will be thousands of common laborers who will find their way to industrial dis tricts, but the class that should be especially welcome in the agricultural south will be made up of small farmers.
 Every state in this section has great areas of untitled land and a systematic effort should be put forth now to bring colonies of farmers to Alabama. It may be year or more before the war is over; but just as sure as it must come to an end some day, just so certain is it that the immigrants will come by the million. The thing for Alabama to do now is to get ready to participate in the benefits of the immigration movement.
 In the meantime thousands of home seekers in the northern states can be induced to settle in Alabama. There has been much talk about the desir- ability of filling up the waste places with sturdy farmers who would like to exchange the rigors of the north for the mild climate of the south, and something has been accomplished.
 The time has come when there should be greater practical results.

The Starving Belgians

t That was a most distressing state- ment issued by the American commis- sion on the relief of the Belgians on Thanksgiving day. It told of seven million starving persons "in war swept Belgium crying out for bread and only half enough to appease hun- ger"
 It is stated that three thousand tons of food are required each day to feed the destitute. The United States has furnished less than half the quantity of provisions needed thus far, but the relief organization in this country is working energetically and it is be- lieved successfully to meet the situa. ton.
 In every community in America many wage-workers are out of em. ployment and have been for some. time. In the large cities men, wom- en and children by thousands are with. out the necessaries of life. There ii some distress every winter, even il times of prosperity; this winter thers will be more destitution than usual, il some quarters, at least. Yet, condi tions in the United States can b. handled by the organized charities, st as to prevent anything like starva ton.
 The Belgian situation is exception ally narrowing.

BAD TEETH CAUSE CANCER

From the Journal of the American Medi- cal Association.
 Constant irritation of any part of the
 body is now well recognized as an impor-
 tant contributory cause of cancer One
 of the forms of irritation which has been
 repeatedly observed to result in this dis
 ease is the constant friction of the sharp
 edges of bad teeth or of imperfect plates against the sides of the tongue. To be
 sure, sores on the tongue caused in this
 way do not always become cancer. Neither
 are wounds from toy pistols always fol lowed by lockjaw. But there is danger in both cases, and it is as easy to avoid it in the one as in the other.
 "A bad tooth should never be tolerated in any event; and the danger of cancer is
 it attended to. Cancer of the tongue may
 occur at any age, but it Is most common between 40 and 60. Statistics show very few cases under 30. The majority of
 these cases occurred in females, while in
 later years males were found to be more
 frequently attacked.
 Cancer of the tongue in young subjects
 Is especially fatal. Out of 30 cases there
 were only two recoveries The others died
 within 10 months or could not be traced. As one-third of all the cases investigated have been shown to be definitely asso- ciated with jagged or decayed teeth or i'm perfect plates it would seem that here, at least, is one method of preventing cancer It is probable that other conditions oc- curing in combination with the bad teeth increase the likelihood of cancer of the tongue as a result, but the removal o1 this form of irritation is so simple mat ter that deaths in cases of this kind must be mostly charged to pure neglect. Where a. sore place caused by Jagged tooth does not promptly heal there is real danger of cancer. If the removal or treatment oi the tooth does not relieve the situation
 and the ulcer continues. prompt operation
 Is necessary, for this form of cancer is
 quickly fatal

UNDERWOOD, THE UNRUFFLED

Art Young in the December Metropolitan.
 When Oscar Underwood arises in the House there is a stiffness so still you can hear the electricity crackle as Alfalfa Bill' Murray strokes his mustache. A stranger expects that this much adver- tised leader with the tightly combed swath of black hair is going to say some thing big, something to thunder down through the ages. Calmly, with the boise of one who has mastered tine most pro- found problems of state, he drawls his wisdom across the stiffness as follows:

Frances Algerian Troops

A reader of The Age Herald in Ala
 bama City writes:
 Please advise me whether or not it is fact that the allied armies are using African or negro soldiers in the present war against the Ger man-Austrians."
 It is not fact that France is using negro soldiers, but it is fact that France is using troops from Algeria in northern Africa. They are usually spoken of as Turcos because they are Mohammedans.
 Strickly spaking these Algerian na- tive troops are Berbers-descendan
 of the Libyan branch of the Hamitic
 races in north Africa. They have dark
 skin, straight hair and are closely re-
 lated to the early Egyptians who were also of the Hamitic race. It has been customary to refer to practically all of the north Africans as Moors, because throughout Span ish history the word Moor has been
 used interchangeably for Arab and Saracen.
 Strictly speaking, however, the
 Turcos of French Algeria are de- scended from the early Berbers with an admixture of the blood of the
 Turks, who were long in the ascen. dant in this part of Africa.

The submarine mine was first proved practical in the civil war. Federal off cers were inclined to scout the effective ness of the torpedo as it was. then called, but after no less than 22 vessels had been lost and a number of others had been badly damaged, with a consequent heavy loss of life, the submarine mine be- came formidable instrument of war, During the Russo-Japanese war it was very destructive and in the present Euro
 pean war is playing an important part
 Many experiments were made by the Con- federates in submarine mines, and while their work was crude, 1t proved surpris- planted the powder that Was used in the past and has given to the modern mine g destructive power four times as great with the same number of pounds oi
