- Washington, October 4: Ambas-
sador Morganthau at Constantinople,
was instructed by cable today to in
form the Turkish minister Of foreign
affairs that public sentiment In the
United States was so stirred by the
reports Of the Armenian atrocities that
unless the massacres ceased friendly
relations between the American peo-
pie and the people Of Turkey would
be threatened. Officials made 1t clear
that this message, though its i'm
portance was by no means minimized,
did not threaten a break in diplo-
attic relations. Turkey already has let
it be known that she will not permit
interference by any foreign power
with her so-called Armenian policy"
AS American life or property has not
been affected the United States gov
eminent without submitting an Of
fetal protest, merely informed Turkey
of the effect continued Armenian
atrocities would have upon the Ameri-
can people. Secretary Lansing said
today that no representation had been
made to Germany regarding the treat
ment of the Armenians by the Turks.
1t was learned, however, that Ambas-
sador Morganthou had reported that
the German embassy In Constantinople
had filed a protest on this subject
with the Turkish foreign Office. An
announcement some time ago stated
that the state department had asked
Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bassador here, to bring the matter to
the attention Of his foreign Office.

The French claim that the Germans

the Germans represent the loss Of the
French at 100000 and the British at

that all Of the losses have been heavy

able to give it's own figures better than
the figures Of the other side.

Roumania will take sides with the
Russians. Roumania has much better
railroads than are to be found in the
narrow strip Of Servian territory be-
tween Bulgaria and Austria, and 1t Is
assumed that If Servia joins the quad
ripple alliance, Germany will go AFTER
her. 1t is thought quite possible that
the Germans and Austrians may go al

The Greek army is mobilizing and it
is expected that the Greeks will go

CONNECTS IN THE MINES

can wreaN upon our fellow creatures all the savagery and cruelty in the worst of our race, such as are generally placed in charge of them. Young white boys con victed of what might be termed frivolous offenses, mere misdemeanors, are sub jected to these cruelties hardships and de- privations. There does not seem to be a single element in their treatment looking toward their reformation.
 An important feature of the letter we quote from is the mention of a society formed some two years ago by Judge J. ,. Ray, Hon. William c. Davis of Jasper and MT White for securing better treatment of conviets and removal of the convicts from the mines and lnmper camps of the state. 1t is a small society and without means to make a great fight against vested interests and the thoughtless citi- zens who are willing to commerciaIize their unfortunate brothers in order to make revenue for the state; but it is at work and it deserves encouragement Is it not possible that there are great souls in Alabama that will undertake and sus- tain this very much needed reform? In every era of the world there have been men and women equal to their oppor- tunity. Certainly there are some, possibly many, in our own day.

ought to prove the most important infiu- ence in shaping values. Notwithstanding the recent advance in prices all reports from the south strengthen the belief in a drastic acreage curtaiiment.
 Tn regard to consumption, new ele- ment has developed. In the current issue of Commerce and Finance. it is claimed that the increase in the re-e of cotton for the manufacture of smokeless powder is astounding According to this authority the capacity of the powder plants of America previous to this year has called for the consumption approximately of SO,- GOO bales of cotton. Now, however, the Du Pont plants alone have been so ex- tended that they are consuming at the rate of 240,O0O bales per annum. New plants have been established in this coun- try, and the extension abroad, according to some estimates, is putting the consump- ton of cotton for the manufacture of smokeless powder between 100000 and ,250, 600 bales. All in all it looks al if the great gulf between supply and demand is surely being bridged over, and that with a small crop from the next planting, as now seems indicated, normal conditions will be restored"

Anyway, It Sounds Good

Out of Mexico's gloom and gore comes a pretty little romance-a story carried by press dispatches telling how, in true Pocahontas style, a bevy of tinted, languid-eyed senoritas saved the life of an Ameri- can mining engineer from Fl Paso, Tex, who had been doomed to be shot to death at sunrise.
 This story sounds good, and by generous allowance of poetic license it may pass critical public, even if it fails to stand the test of close logi- cal analysis.
 First of all, the sunrise date is a glaring inaccuracy, for be it written here and now that Mexicans are not in the habit of doing anything at sun rise, except it be to keep on snoring, or to turn over for a new grip on slumber.
 Then again, while the senoritas of olive-tinted complexion might be tender-hearted enough to wish long life and happiness to the American under sentence of death, it is not a part of their nature to display either the heroism or the energy necessary to the Pocahontas act, for be il known that the Mexican senoritaS are proverbially lazy.
 The average senorita might be willing to do life-saving stunt manana-but not today.
 As to the olive tint, that part is possibly correct-entirely correct, il olives are greasy and black. Did you ever see a Mexican senorita?
 If not, you can't understand the wonderfully flattering power of fife ton.
 With due respect to the veracity of press correspondents in Mexico or possibly safely anchored in some Fl Paso hotel-it is suggested that adventurous young Americans wish ing to be saved in a romantic man ner, would do well to apply else where-not in Mexico.

Important Matter for Birmingham

l
 This city should send strong dele gation to Chattanooga next Saturday to appear before the meeting of the governors of Illinois, Kentucky, Ten nessee, Georgia and Florida which will determine the southern route for the Dixie highway from Chicago to Miami.
 From the reading of the Asso- ciated Press dispatch from Chatta- nooga, in which the object of the meeting was explained, it would ap- pear that Alabama was to be ignored. It was evidently the purpose of those directing thes southern end of the project to locate the route direct from Chattanooga to Atlanta and thus cut out Birmingham. Governor Tender son should at least have been invited to the Chattanooga meeting, but it I is understood that he was not The | absence of his name from the list was significant at any rate.
 This Dixie highway is to be the southern extension of the Lincoln highway, the greater part of which has been completed. A movement to construct macadam road from Chi cago to the gulf was started in Ala bama several years ago. The name selected for it was the Lincoln-Jack- son highway. The plan was backed by the Daughters of 1912 and it was enthusiastically discussed in season and out of season.
 After Miami, Fla, was decided upon as the objective point to be reached the name was changed to the Dixie highway. In view of the fact that Tall the agitation" emanated from Birmingham, it would be shame for this city to be 'left off the map The route should be from Chatta- nooga to Birmingham and from Bir- mingham to Miami by the way oi Atlanta. There is already much first class roadway between Chattanooga and Birmingham and between Bir. mingham and Atlanta; more thar there is between Chattanooga and At lanta direct.
 Let the people of Birmingham be- stir themselves. The Chattanooga meeting is only four days off.

Poultry Farming

During the past four or five years there has been an appreciable increase in the percentage of Alabama eggs and poultry sold on the Birmingham mar ket, but poultry farms producing fowls exclusively are still very little known in this state.
 The chickens and eggs that are brought to market are merely by products Just as in old times the chickens are raised by the housewife. She feeds the poultry and collects the eggs and the money they fetch "helps out" materially. But after all, in the majority of cases, it comes under the head of pin money"
 Poultry farming on a large scale re- quires capital, but the men who have tried it in other states find that it pays well. Great volumes of poultry farm products are shipped here from Tennessee, Missouri and farther away Let the crop diversification committed in following up the recent campaign
 give attention to the poultry indus try and endeavor to induce some of
 the progressive young farmers to spe- cialize on chickens and eggs. The industry as commercial proposition requires not only capital but some scientific knowledge, at least a
 knowledge of scientific economy. A thousand poultry farms in Ala
 bama successfully managed would add greatly to the wealth of the state.

Tripping blow on the cheek which stunned him.
 After the rescuer got a firm hold of Snellings the two men went under the surface together. There was a hard struggle under the water but Flippen finally got complete control of the man he was rescuing and swan with him 42 feet to the pier
 Snellings was completely exhausted and Flippen's strength was almost gone, but men who had gathered at the pier gave them attention and aid ed in resuscitation.
 Another particularly exciting mar rative is that which gives the par ticulars of the heroic act near Oak land, Cal, of Philip L. Stickel, bar tender, aged A, who saw little girl standing on railroad between the tracks as a train was approach ing, and was within only eighty feet of the bewildered child, made a dash and, without stopping, grabbed the girl and cleared the track with her, two seconds before the train thundered by.
 In nearly every act of heroism re- ported by the Carnegie Hero Fund commission the rescuer ran the risk of losing his own life. Even when the hero failed in his effort to save a life which he saw was in jeopardy, an award was made to him just the same for he imperiled his own life in trying to rescue fellow being.
 Of MT. Carnegie's many benefac- tions in which vast sums of money are disbursed none has so appealed to the imagination or so readily touched sympathetic cord in the hearts of the people as his founding of the hero fund.
