World Must Wait for News

The world might just as well settle down and await as patiently as it may until the war offices of the belligerent powers deem it expedient to let the public get a glimpse of what is going on behind the wall.
 Reports yesterday indicated that the long expected general engagement mad begun. If this is true it will prob ably be seven or eight days before the result is definitely determined, and in the meantime the censorship will be even more rigid, if that is pos sible.
 Reports of minor engagements and skirmishes will be permitted to trickle through to satisfy the cravings of a clamorous people, but that the public will be kept informed of the progress of the battle from day to day is not to be considered.
 If the Germans win, reliable reports of the battle will be even more de layed as the British censor will stor the dispatches from Berlin in London as long as is thought wise. Should the allies be successful, the news vii be given out piecemeal in order tt further stimulate the patriotic ardo of the people.
 Viewed from any angle, the situa tion, aside from the humanitarian as pect, is not satisfactory to an cage public seeking the latest news.

American Business

T find that people have stopped guess ing on how long the war would last, " said Lewis j. Warrington of Philadelphia.
 When Germany and Russia became in volved the situation looked bad, indeed but even then I thought mediation would succeed in localizng the war between Austria Hungary and Servia. Now. how ever, since so many nations are in the conflict, the war will probably last for sometime-two or three months, anyway.
 Business in the United States is being rapidly adjusted to the disturbed foreign conditions, and this country will profit by the war in the end. When hostilities are ended there will be great reflex sentiment on American capital. and we will see the biggest boom in the his tory of this country. With enormous crops as basis for trade activity all we will need is peace abroad to bring about record breaking prosperity.n

Birmingham has many visitors who come to look after business matters, and who only see the business district" said a club man; but our beautiful residence sections are now so much talked about that not few business men who come for a day or two find time to do some sight seeing.
 "A northern friend of mine who was here for the first time about a year ago, said that he thought Highland avenue was an exceptionally beautiful drive. We spent two hours one afternoon this week in an automobile and as we rode along Highland avenue he said he could hardly recognize it, so many and so great had been the improvements. I took him up on Altamont road. and before we were through with our afternoons automobile ride we had been to Glen Iris, Norwood, Fairfield, Inglenook and Tarrant City. My friend was simply amazed

Pope Plus X

Among the. modern popes there may have been more brilliant statesmen than His Holiness Plus X, but none of greater piety or more passionate zeal in the spiritual exercise of his exalted ministry. Other popes have been distinguished for their admins trative ability and their acumen in dealing with complex problems; but Pins x. while lacking in none of the essentials of ecclesiastical statesman shin. was first of all man of sim gular sanctity.
 Of humble origin Giuseppe Sarto- that was the pope's name-aspired only to be parish priest. He pro- tested against his preferment to a bishopric. and it will be recalled that he was "prostrated by his election to the papacy,' accepting it only through a sense of duty. In his first encyclical issued two months after his access sion Pope Plus declared that we have no other programme in the su- preme pontificate but that of restor- ing all things in Christ, so that Christ may be all in all." It was not long after his investiture when he began to be known, in a very especial man. ner, as the Pope of the Eucharist. While other popes appreciated the great spiritual benefit resulting from frequent reception on the part of the faithful of the sacrament of holy com munion it was left to Plus X to urge in season and out of season daily com munion. His frequent encyclicals, read in all the Catholic churches throughout the world, dwelt upon the spiritual needs of Christendom, and in that connection he never failed to plead with his spiritual children" to approach the sacraments with great CT frequency than had been the habit of laymen in former years.
 Pope Plus was tender hearted man, and when he saw Europe plunged into bloody war he became sick in soul. Despite his advanced age--he was in his eightieth year-he had been apparently in good health. But the war grieved him beyond expression and hastened his end.
 Men of all church affiliations and of all shades of opinion in religious matters held Plus X in highest venera- tion and Catholics everywhere re- garded him with sincere affection. The whole world will miss such a pope. Who his successor will be it would be hard to venture prediction But the Roman Catholic church will be blessed, indeed, if it has in the papal chair a man of the broad charity, the sanctity of life and the tender solici- tude for those in his charge that characterized Plus, X.

Back from the East

After an absence of about two weeks, Oscar c. Turner has returned home looking the picture of health Accom- panied by his wife, he spent part of his vacation at Atlantic City and from there went to New York for a short visit. On their way east MT. and Mrs. Turner stopped for day or two at Warren. O., not far from Cleveland, where MT. Turner at one time lived. It is not a very large city as cities go these days, but it has one of the largest electrical industries in this country. As all styles of lamps are manufactured at Warren. it bears the soubriquet of Lamp Town" Speak ing of his trip MT. Turner said yes terday:

Gathering of Alabama Farmers

"The war staff of the farmers of Ala bama have met in Birmingham to confer on momentous questions. chief of which is the marketing of the fcotton crop said Percy Clark.
 q listened with interest to Harvie Jor- dams speech Wednesday afternoon, which was short, well delivered and clean-cut in the presentation of the question of holding a good portion of the crop.
 MT. Jordan is probably the best equipped and most thoroughly informed planter in this country on the large phases of the cotton question. He has visited the principal cotton spinning coun- tries of Europe and has conferred with the representatives of cotton spinners of the world at some five conferences. He stressed one point that l regard as high ly important, the elimination of the mid dleman in the matter of the handling of cotton. The warrant warehouse system on the lines l have proposed in my ar ticles for The Age-Herald will accomplish this to a degree. Always there will be merchants. however, who would buy and sell cotton as long as it is commodity of intrinsic value that the world must have."t He s4f

Muskrats In Bohemia

Nine years ago a Bohemian noble- man liberated 10 pairs of muskrats on his estate in Bohemia for the purpose of having his gamekeepers trap them and sell their skins. Today, thanks to the muskrat's high birth rate, there are 2,0O0,000 of these little animals In Bohemia and the citizens of that coun- try are much alarmed both by the eX- tremely rapid increase of the muskrat population and also by their destruc- tive habits. Like the rabbit pest in Australia and the English sparrow in this country, muskrats have taken pos session of Bohemia and will be hard to dislodge. They are spreading all over the fruitful regions of the prov ince, according to reports, and have evep entered the houses in Prague. Doubtless the shortsighted prince who first introduced the muskrat to Bo- hemia has lived to segret his foolish act and there is no Telling what male dictions have been heaped upon his head by the farmers of Bohemia.
 Having made their caves in streams of water where the artificial breeding of crayfish is carried on and near the ponds where carp are bred, the greedy muskrats contrive to vary their vege- table diet with the spawn of fish, thus making another inroad on fruitful source of revenue. Bohemian carp and crayfish are delicacies deemed en- tirely too good for a muslrat's meals.
 The muskrat, like his cousin, the beaver, is a smart fellow and is not easily captured. He scorns to walk into trap and his ability to recognize all kinds of poison makes him immune from that form of attack. Except for his unsuitable appetite he is not a bad neighbor, but in a small country If sui ficiently numerous he can doubtless do a great deal of damage.
 The Bohemian minister of agricul- ture has been appealed to and has of- fered large reward for any effective means of destroying the muskrat. It is to be hoped that the mistake will not be made of introducing some ami nal. to destroy the muslSrat that will in it's turn become an even greater pest.

Regarding a New Postoffice

Tt seems that Birmingham is not to have a new postoffice for sometime to come" said an old citizen.
 According to letter received by Post master Aldrich from the treasury depart ment the architects office will not even consider the proposed postoffice building before next year, and it was intimated that the work of construction will not begin until 1920.
 Birmingham needs a new postoffice building. great deal of money has been spent on the old building in exten- sion and in patching up At present the quarters may be ample for handling the heavy mail including the parcel post; but it will not be a year before we hear again of serious congestion and in two or three years the government will have to rent one or two additional buildings in order to facilitate the postoffice busi- ness.
 'Tf it is so that ground for the new building will not be broken before 1920. I would suggest that MT. Underwood, senator to-be. ask the government for a IttOilSlutidllOfi Witl d NlcW or making a fresh start. Congress has already ap- propriated sl, 100000 for Birminghams new postoffice. Of this sum about ss75,OOO ha s been paid for site In 1906 or 1907 there was active local agitation in favor of a new postofgee but congressional leaders and the treasury department intimated that Birmingham must wait until the i 1910 census was taken. It was stated that Birmingham's population enumerated | by the census bureau would form some. | thing of a basis for the appropriation | Shortly after the census which gave Bir-
 mingham population of 1s26S5, Congress man Underwood began to work with a | view of securing the needed appropria.

 much larger appropriation. We should
 have s2,5oo,OO0 or $sOoO,OOO instead of tho appropriation now to our credit. The
 census of 1920 will show Birmingham witt a population of something like 250,000

ToMoRRow-TRIAL OF MONTHLY

900. So it will be seen>that the warning na- tions of today represent just little more than half the worlds population, as they also do of it's area.
 These figures include in the German empire 100000 square miles of African territory The continent of Africa is al- most wholly included in the figures, be- cause so much of 1t is held by the powers now at war. Great Britain's Asian and Australasian possessions are included These far-away possessions are not partic- ipants in the war and will probably figure in it only as the subjects of the remap- ping of the world that will follow the European struggle. Half of the world. from one point of view, is at war. But the geographical limits of the war upon land can hardly be expected to include more territory than that which lies with in the boundaries of the United States. The theatre of the atcual fighting will be-. of course, very much smaller.

The Farmers Union

The annual meeting of the Alabama Farmers Educational and Co-opera- tive union which was called to order at the Jefferson theatre yesterday morning was not as largely attended as usual, although many representa- tive men were present. The compara- lively small attendance was due to some hitch in the reduced railroad fare which should have gone into effect Tuesday, but which, as a matter of fact, was not effective until yesterday. As a consequence many active mem- bers of the union postponed their trip to Birmingham until yesterday even ing.
 Today's meeting will, it is believed, be attended by 500 or TOO members. The Farmers Educational and Coop erative union, as its name implies, is a very important organization. It is maQe up Ol HIGH WlO SiCdtS WSdish oue of the ground, and the progressiveness of those engaged in husbandry in Ala bama issno proverbial. Many of the best farmers in the United States are found in this state. Within the past seven or eight years they have done wonders in intensifying production. It is quite common thing now for the Alabama farmer to produce bale of cotton to the acre instead of bale to three acres as in former years.
 The members of the union are natu- rally concerned about the financing of this years crop. But for the Euro pean war, cotton this fall would be selling for 13 1-2 to IA cents. Those who were inclined to take a gloomy view week or 10 days ago thought

south. The beef cattle exhibits will be of exceptional interest.
 Diversified farming in Alabama has been attracting much attention in the recent past and has been of great value from many aspects. The fact is that no class of diversification promises such rich returns as stock raising.
 It has been demonstrated that beef of choicest quality can be produced in Alabama at lower cost than the beef in many of the famous cattle states, and scores of farmers have turned their attention this year to the cattle growing branch of husbandry.
 The splendid beef exhibits that will be seen at the fair will naturally stimulate the stock raising. industry. Within the next two or three years Alabama will rank near the top as a beef producer.
