Cunningham Replies
 to Coach Pritchard

The letter below was received by The Age-Herald yesterday from W. r. Gun ningham. timekeeper in the Central High in Attalla, in which Stowers of Etowah kicked a field goal in the last 15 seconds of play that defeated the local warriors. The time was seriously questioned by Coach Pritchard of Central High, who al- legged that four plays, including punt, were completed in the 15 seconds. The question of dispute has not been settled tempting to schedule another game with the Etowah boys.
 Following is MT. Cunningham's state ment:
 'I did state that there were l5 seconds to play. but made this statement after the penalty had been made for the punt. Then on the first down Stowers kicked zeal and the time was up.
 There are two reasons why Coach Pritchard did not and could not have kept the time so accurately One is. that I was using his stop-watch; the other. he was entirely unnerved. because the Etowah boys were seriously threatening Centrars goal.
 "The game was one of the greatest that has ever been played at Attalla. It was a clean game and hard fought. Since Etowah the State High school champion ship Central High would naturally hunt something to complain of

A Literary "Find" of the War

From the Boston IranScrlpt.
 One odd result of the war may be the addition of the name of General Joffre to the list of celebrated authors. More than 20 years ago, when he was a lieu tenant colonel, he led the expedition which completed the French conquest of Timbuctoo. That was after Colonel Bounnier had been driven out of the sacred city, and slain. Joffre wrote a plain, unvarnished story of the expedi- ton, based on the journal he kept, and published it. The book was but an in- different seller. Those who read it de- clared it was just the words to be ex- pected of lieutenant colonel of whom nobody knew much, and who was more expert with the sword than with the pen. My March to Timbuctoo' slumber- ed in public libraries and in second hand bookstalls until this spring. Doubtless 1t was among that interesting collection
 of unappreciated literature that is found along the Paris auais and gives employment to rummaging talent. Those
 bookstals on the quais are. or used to be, delightful places for literary tourists re- sort. the stallkeeper sitting hard by un-
 der his umbrella ready to assure mon. sieur that the dusty pamphlet he had just picked out was find and at the price positive sacrifice
 In 1915 Joffre Is the same man as in 1894. but circumstances are different. His little book. revived and re-edited, and translated into several languages, is meeting with tremendous success. The English are buying it eagerly in cheap editions. If Lieutenant Colonel Jonre could have received a quarter of the present proceeds, he might have been tempted to retire from active service
 and pass the rest of his life in the charm ing role of "rentier." Fate ruled other wise. and Joffre remained unknown to the world of letters.

Probably one of the most unique institutions ever started in this coun- : try or perhaps in the world today is the Sing Sing alumni" The gradu- ates of Warden Osborne are planning outside mutual welfare work and us- ing the moral and physical training of the prison days as an asset. The man that comes out into the world will not be ashamed to face the world for fear of losing his job but will ac- knowledge his real self and show that even with this stain he is still man capable of the greatest possibilities and also capable of surmounting them even with the acknowledged truth that he has been ''jailbird."
 The charter members of the unusual society held banquet at New York hotel about month ago in honor of Warden Osborne, invitations having been sent out to all graduates of the institution whose addresses can be found urging them to affiliate with the newly formed association and to share its benefits and social advant- ages.
 ' the plan to be adopted and the ben efits to be derived through this most unique alma mater.
 The principal one at the outset will be the alumni employment bureau The alumni committee in charge of this feature of the association's work will be called upon to keep in touch with manufacturers and business houses generally to find positions for new graduates" as they leave Warden Osborne's institution and, in case il proves necessary, for older graduates who lose their jobs. If the demand for the "graduates" is greater than the supply the would-be employers will be urged to wait for new ones.
 Because of the wide variance of training and adaptability of the Sing Sing graduates" 1t was explained, the employment bureau committee will have it's hands full to find just the right job for each man. it Is also rec ognized that numerous problems will confront the committee. For example a number of the present members of the Mutual Welfare league in Sing Sing, out of which sprung the idea oi an alumni association to keep the members in touch with one another and Warden Osborne after their de-
 parture from their Ossining "alma ma
