The National pefense Proeramme

q think the vast majority of the people of this country, regardless of party, are with the President in his national defense programme" said W. F. Seibert of Philadelphia.
 q have always voted the republican ticket and yet I have the highest ad- miration for Mir. Wilson. think he has made the country great President and as for his army and navy pro- gramme I am sure most republicans think it all right.
 One may expect to hear a few fault finding people say that the Presidents $ plea for a larger army and a larger navy and for a large and definite mili- tary policy is in the interest of big of munitions and all sorts of equip ment. But such remarks will make no impression upon right thinking peo- ple Of course, the adoption by Con- gress of the administrations pro- gramme will be an immediate stimu- Jus to the iron and steel trade; but that would be only an incident.
 President Wilson is patriotic man; no American is more high minded. He is urging the strengthening of the national defense from patriotic motives and because he has good common sense and brtadth of view"

Lloyd- George to be made prime min ister, regardless of whether the con- servatives now in the cabinet like it or not?
 Lord Kitchener, as secretary of state for war, is doubtless doing his utmost to redeem Great Britain as a military power; but he is plainly dis appointed over the Balkan situation.
 In MT. Asquith's recent depressing speech he referred to Great Britain's financial crisis and intimated that an- other heavy tax would be levied. He said the war would be fought to a finish, but his only cheering remark was when he reminded the public that the British navy had Germany's boast ed navy locked up in the Baltic, where the latter dare not show it's face.
 Lord Kitchener is tenacious or noth- ing. Adverse critisim will never cause him to retire from the war of- flee; but unless the British govern ment is reorganized or unless London can brace up and overcome the panic habit, things will go from bad to worse. The effect is unquestionably demoralizing in the faithful allies.

A CommendabIe Spirit

' 'I was an interested spectator of the Birmingham college-HowarG football game at Redwood Field Saturday after noon and I enjoyed it immensely" said Roy Baker. q want to commend the players on both teams for their sports manship and clean playing.
 "As every one in Birmingham knows, the rivalry between Howard and Owen ton is intense, as keen approximately as that between Alabama and Owenton in the old days. The Methodists would do anything in reason to win and the Baptists likewise. Rivalry Saturday aft ernoon was particularly keen because of the fact that the game last year ended in a to 6 tie and both teams were deter mined to settle the question of supremacy by the battle Saturday.
 ''Now despite the feeling of both teams, I did not see an evidence of unsportsman- like conduct throughout the hour of play ing time. It was one of the most cleanly played games ever saw and l have seen every contest in Birmingham in years.
 'sWhen rivalry between colleges is pur- sued with such a feeling it is an incentive to hard work instead of to anything wrong You Howard and Owenton boys, you have something precious in the sportsmanlike spirit which pervades your colleges. You don't know how precious it is Don't ever let it degenerate to where you are willing to go any lengths to win"

A Remarkable Operation

The Associated Press correspond ence from London contains the account of an operation performed for the re- moval of a bullet from the heart of a British soldier, under the influence of only local anesthetic and while "Tommy Atkins" calmly looked on. The patient felt no pain and no dis comfort, because in the first place the anesthetic prevented pain and in the second place the soldier was evidently not at all squeamish about seeing his heart freely handled by surgeon.
 Eucains and adrenalin were injected into the skin and muscles of the chest wall. The heart was opened with a knife, probed with heavy forceps and closed with row of stitches after the bullet had been removed. Although no wound could be seen, the surgeon located the bullet with his finger at the back of the heart. While the oper- ation was being performed the only noticeable effect was that the mans heart occasionally missed beat, oth- erwise there was no deviation from the normal
 In the effort to find out what is at the bottom of the tremendous struggle in Europe and to keep up with the various moves made by the belliger- ent nations, one is apt to lose sight of the wonderful achievements of army surgeons, who perform miracles every day that would cause sensation in times of peace. Modern surgery and sanitation have kept pace with the development of death dealing instru- ments, and while the cities of Eu- rope are filling up rapidly with maimed men, they are an astonishing 1y cheerful lot and their good spirits are probably due to the fact that they consider life, even in their condition, infinitely better than death, from which the efficiency of modern sur gery has saved them.

Prosperity in Mississippi

After spending several days in Mis- sissippi looking after railroad traffic, I am glad to be able to say that pros perity in that state is now very evil dent; at any rate in the portions I visited" said w. w. stine, general agent of the Gulf Coast lines, with headquarters in Birmingham.
 "Hattiesburg is the center of won derful activity in various branches of business. In the first place there is a great demand for lumber. The lumber trade has not been as good in a long time as it is now.
 "The canning of sweet potatoes has grown to be a large and profitable in dustry at Hattiesburg. An unusually large amount of canning has been done this season and still the canneries can not supply the demand. Telegrams were coming in every day urging ship ments. Hattiesburg is one of the thrift est towns in the south. but I have never seen it with such a boom as it has now,'

Yesterdays Age-Herald

Yesterdays Age-Herald was again notable for the variety of it's features, for the wide range of topics treated and for the fullness and completeness of it's news service. Practically every page gave evidence of the large staff of men and women writers who show their genius every Sunday by present ing articles on the subjects of most vital interest to the people of Alabama.
 Even those who advertise in the Sunday Age e-Herald add to the infinite variety of topics of interest treated, for in yesterdays issue there were 626 sep arate and distinct advertisements, oc- cupying 2700 inches of space.
 Especially in the Rotogravure Sec ton did the advertisers contribute to it's interest, for what could have been more interesting to women readers than the rotogravure reproductions of gowns by Kaufman and Loveman, Jos eph & Loeb?
 The Rotogravure Section maintained its reputation as the greatest newspa- per feature now being published in tho south and the artists who prepare it have the happy faculty of choosing photographs which have a timely in- terest for every member of the family.
 Every Sunday The Age-Herald merits it's distinction of being the best Sunday newspaper published in the south.

Gloom In England

England has had many wars on its hands, but not one of modern times has had So depressing an effect on the country or has filled London with such gloom as the present terrific con- flict.
 British statesmen are usually reso- lute and resourceful when facing a crisis. No Britisher has ever faced a crisis such as this. A panicky feeling seems to pervade all official classes, but the great leaders, especially MT. Asquith and Lord Kitchener, remain cool.
 Asquith is an old political warrior and he is the last man in England to become faint-hearted or show any lack of resolution when disaster threatens or troubles come in pillows. But the burden is proving too severe strain for his physical strength. He feels that upon his shoulders as premier the responsibility for the conduct of the war rests; not as it affects Great Brit ain but in it's moral effect upon the entente powers, for the allies naturally had right to look to the British gov ernment for leadership.
 Until the coalition cabinet was formed Lloyd-George was in posi- xion to give his chief all needed as si6tance. The two men were team- workers together; but one of the con- servatives, on entering the cabinet, did so upon the condition that Lloyd George be subordinated. Therefore it is that the plucky and masterful Welshman has ceased for the time being to be force in the high coun- eils of state. But in view of the de- moralization that has set in, would it not be best for Asquith to resign-ill hsalth is always a good excuse-and

The Continental Army

It may be regarded as somewhat singular that not few people who are opposed to heavy expenditures for the national defense seem more disturbed about the proposed continental army tian about any proposed increase in the regular establishment.
 The administrators programme calls for standing army of 140,OO0. It totals now not quite 90,000 With 10000 enlisted men, fully 100000 would be stationed in continental United States.
 The continental army should have not only popular appeal, but it is highly approved by military men. A

Sprinkle Third Avenue

q would like to point out to the city fathers place where without the expen- diture of nickel they could increase i'm measurably the comfort of some 10000 people next Saturday afternoon" said Morris Feinfeld. Tt is by sprinklfng thoroughly Third avenue leading to Rick wood Field.
 '.Conditions have been deplorable out there during the football season. Com ing in after the game the dust is so thick one can hardly see or breathe. Automo- piles follow one behind the other while the street cars sweep up an immense amount of dust. Whether you are in an automobile or on street car the dust gets you just the same. and 1t Is ex- tremely unpleasant. Besides the dis tasteful features of it there is the ele- ment of safety. With the dust thick enough to cut with a knife one naturally cannot see and is much more liable to collide with another automobile.
 q was especially impressed with the horrible conditions last Saturday after noon when Howard college played Bir- mingham. It was terrific. Now think what the conditions will be next Saturday when Vanderbilt plays Auburn. There will be countless machines and cars out there and returning things will be fierce The city by the expenditure of a little could sprinkle the streets Saturday morn ing and have the dust at least ameliorated if not done away with entirely by the afternoon"

AN AUTUMN PILGRIM

By Clinton Scollard.
 He takes the open path at dawn. With golden lures to lead him on The truant winds low murmurings. The surge of southward sweeping winf He sees the gentian by the brook Cast back at him an azure look. And marks above the soft green sod
 A pirouetting butterfly,
 Like a blown shred of goldenrod.
 Go drifting by.
 He tastes the brew that Robin Hood Once Quaffed within the ancient wood The aromatic essences
 Of beeches and of balsam trees; And feels an ardor run along His veins and stir his lips to song simple strain of ready mirth,
 Echoes of airs Arcadlan. Full of the ecstacy of earth
 The joy of Pan. He thrills to hear the crickets croon Beneath the arches of the noon. When teh red harvests promise smilea From all the fruited orchard aisles; And gleans more glory from the huee That on the hill slopes flame and fuse; Senses in them stronger spell Than in the rad1and dyes that glow On canvasses by Raphael

bill providing for something of the sort passed the House of Representa- tives in 1912 and came near passing the Senate. It was known as General Upton's plan. In the bill that failed the proposed reservists were called federal volunteers. It provided for 100000 men.
 The continental army embraced in the Presidents national defense pro gramme is to be limited to 400,0 ,000 men, to be raised in annual "incre- ments" of 133, 3,000. After serving two months each year for three years with the colors, the "continenta1s" would be on furlough for three years, subject to orders to return to the colors in case of war. These continentals would be thoroughly drilled and, roughly speak ing, the United States, if the admins tration measure passes Congress, would have at the end of six years 100000 soldiers ready for defense. This would include the national guard, now with 129,OO0 men on the rolls.
 A continental army of 100000 would be comparatively inexpensive. It's maintenance would cost less than half the amount required for maintaining the present small regular army. It is a good measure and should be adopted.
 If Congress does any shaving of the proposed army appropriations it might be deemed advisable to restrict the regular army increase to 120,000 or 125,000 But the plan for a continental army should remain unchanged.

Crowds in Woods Yesterday

T knew the beautiful Sunday weather was taking thousands of people out of doors,' said Sidney E. Hitler, 'but was surprised to find them wandering so far from home.
 Take the rock house out on Red noun tain, for instance. It must be a couple of miles over there from the car lines, and yet there were literally hundreds around the rocks, in the woods and at the rock house falls this afternoon. There were old people, young people and little chi dren. Many of them had taken their lunches. The youngsters swarmed through the woods hunting nuts and some of the boys must have been very suc- cessful for number of them had sacks containing about all they could carry.
 But it was an ideal day and I don't blame anyone for wanting to get out into the country"
