FRANCE REGARDS
HER VICTORY AS

(Ston Correspondent United Prsss.l
PARIS, July 30--One year ago to-
morrow. the general mobilization
order was posted In France calling
the men to the colors. This was

the crisis passed and that victory
is only a question Of time.
The minister of war, M. Alexander
Millerand. has announced that the
German offensive II broken and that
the defensive soon will be. Prime
Minister Rene viviani. In an in
terview granted me. declared Ger

Victor Augagneur. minister OF the
navy, has told me that Germany's
submarine war cannot have any ef.
feet on the final issue.
France, therefore,. Is confident,
but not over-conndent. She realizes
that there Is yet much work to be
done. She argues. however. that IL
Germany, with her flying start and
an army In the pink Of condition
and at It's maximum strength, could
not shatter the French army, caught
of its guard by a "brusk attack"
the kaiser's forces are helpless now.

from that sudden first blow when
she stood alone to receive 1t, but Is

up baseball, the home folks will be

The first battle against the, Car
dinals was so soft that it did not give
the West Siders an opportunity to
display the fighting spirit Manager
Bresnahan is supposed to have in
stilled into them. Everything came
the way of the locals without exer-
ton.
One or two things, however, stuck
out prominently and encouragingly.
Foremost was the element of speed,
big factor in the scoring of some
of the Cub runs. Bresnahan's peo-
pie ran around the sacks as though
they realized what they were doing,
started at the proper times, and, once
they were in motion, they moved
with quickness and dispatch.
First games are never grounds on
which to judge any ball team. There
is a sense of strangeness among the
players, they have not been tuned up
to actual combat, and there is also
a certain amount of excitement and
nervous tension which does not ap-
pear in the later ARRAYS.
Fisher looms large as factor in
Cub success. His bat was important,
and he swings confidently, as though
he expected to do some damage to
the opposing pitching. In the field,
advance reports said he would be off
color, as his arm was weak, and could
not wing the ball to first base fast
enough on slow-hit balls.
Fisher disproVed this prediction
when he caught Glenn, the Card
backstop. The ball was hit slowly,
caroming off Vaughn's hands. Fisher
scooted in, grabbed the sphere, and
sent it over to Safer from stopping
position.
There was no remarkable play
around second base. Phelan dis

Ambassador James Watson Gerard. who has acquitted himself brilliantly in the diplomatic correspondence between Der lin and Washington growing out of the submarine controversy, Is still compara- lively young. He was born at Geneseo, N. Y., in 1867. He comes of family affairs of New York and has himself won numerous honors. The ambassa dor s father and grandfather were noted mem- bers of the New York bar. He was grad uated from Columbia in 1890, and a year later received the degree of A. M, and in 1892 was graduated from the Columbia Law school. Shortly afterward he en- tered the law firm of Bowers X Sands, becoming partner In 1899. He was high ly successful In his legal practice and conducted some of the most famous cor poration cases of recent decades. MT. Gerard served as an aide on the staff of General Butt during the Spanish American war Before being mustered out he was New York brigade, with the rank of major. The ambassador was active in politics and for several years was identi- f1eG with Tammany Hall, but his personal integrity and independence have never been questioned. In 1907 he was elected for a term of IA years, expiring in 1921. He proved himself an exceptionally able jurist, but his services as ambassador to Germany have been the crowning work, so far, of his public career.

thorough and has been of very de cided value to the business world.
 In regard to the statistics of popn- lation the bureau has calculated the percentages of increase for the larger class of cities, based on the growth in the preceding decade. But as inter- esting as the official estimates may be, local conditions make the basis upon which the calculation is made uncertain, and therefore unsatisfac- tory.
 This Is progressive and an eager age in which we are living and it is but natural that the demand for ex- act information concerning the coun- try's resources and population should be in hand as often as every five years, instead of 10. And to that end the government is making a start.
 Birmingham's population today is supposed to be close to 100000. The school census of 1914, taken under a state law, showed that this city's pop ulation of school age was then 4S,258. Some statistical authorities multiply the number of children of school age by four to ascertain the entire popu- lation. Other statisticians, to be very conservative, use three and one-half as a multiplier. Others still multiply by 3.S0. This is the multiplier used in a great many cities. Birmingham s school population, as ascertained a year ago, multiplied by 3.SO, would have given 1s3,3sO, as the entire pop ulation.
 Should arrangements be made to have the government count us this fall it would be safe guess that the to- tai would cross the 100000 mark.
 Let's have a quinquennial census. If the city is not able to bear the ex- pense the Chamber of Commerce, as matter of local pride, would find a way to raise the necessary fund.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-23

suppose they would tolerate anything like statutory prohibition even as a war measure. And now at time when every Britisher is called upon to make sacrifices and pay heavy taxes on the necessities of life liquor is exempted.
 Political prohibitionists who have been hoping to see their cause world wide will have to strike Great Britain from the list of probabilities. The English and Scotch have a way of threatening open revolt when it comes to restricting the drink traffic. And when "the country" had been heard from in the way of clamant protest, prohibition became at once a dead issue-so dead that Chancellor McKenna did not propose even a mite of tax on beer.
 But the commodities that are taxed will yield a stupendous revenue. The people will groan, but they are in titanic war and they must endure the hardships and the cost that such a conflict brings.

Henderson Acts Courageously

The wise and courageous action of Governor Henderson in rebuking the legislature for failing to do that for which it was elected will meet with the approval of every Alabama voter who has followed the course of that body during the two half-sessions.
 The legislature was elected to bring the expenditures of the state within the receipts. Instead of doing this, it has made additional appropriations, but has failed to increase, even pro- portonately, the income of the state.
 Governor Henderson has been sorely tried by the failure of the leg islators to live up to their promises and has preached economy to them since the beginning of the session.
 That they have failed to heed the wise protests of the governor on the raids on the state treasury shows them as cratic in fiscal as in sumptuary legislation.
