be some ultra-conservative thinkers and advisers, but the men who do big things will be in the lead
 At the end of all great modern wars rehabilitation of territory laid waste has begun almost immediately. Those who are inclined to think that Europe will be too poor for sometime to come to purchase our products in large volume, have only to recall the rapid business recovery of the north at the close of the civil war and of the sub stantial development of the resources of the south after the reconstruction period ended. Also the complete re- covery of France shortly after the Franco-Prussian war. Every country with natural resources and peopled by resolute and industrious millions quickly overcomes disaster In few months after the present war Ger many and Austria will begin to re- establish their industries and their commerce, while the other nations of Europe will be fully able at once to buy American commodities in unlim- tied volume.
 Business in this country has been on the mend since the first of the year and some industries are being operated now at nearly normal capaci- ty With the announcement of peace an era of prosperity will set in that will surpass any period of good times in the history of the United States.

Intervention in Mexico Inevitable

Intervention in Mexico Inevitable
 A new crisis has arisen in Mexican relations with the United States and the thinly-veiled ultimatum dispatched to General Carranza indicates that President Wilson has recognized that the first chief is another Huerta and that by force only can he be brought to his senses.
 Property of foreigners in Mexico has been devastated by all sides alike since the beginning of the present troubles. Millions of dollars are ir- revocably lost. And now arises this petty chief with an overweening sense of his own importance to menace the lives of the aliens in his power.
 Present conditions in Mexico, and particularly in Mexico City, are ln- tolerable. They are such as to make intervention by some civilized power inevitable. The Monroe doctrine de- nies this right to European nations even should they desire to act, and the obligations to do that which must be done and which it is forbidden for others to do devolves with the greater weight upon the United States.
 
 When a nation runs amuck and in the madness of it's frenzy destroys all semblance of law and civilization, other powers step in and play the physician until the insane regain their reason. Such was the action of the powers in the march to the relief of Picking during the Boxer troubles of 1900, and the situation today bears close resemblance to conditions which then confronted the allies.
 Mexico City today is completely isolated. The foreign inhabitants tremble in fear of massacre and the accredited representatives of Euro pean powers find themselves not only ignored but insulted and in imminent personal danger. Only vague hints of rioting by lawless soldiery and mas sacre by inflamed guerrillas trickle through to the United States. The true state of affairs is suppressed by censorship as rigid as that holding the armies of Europe in it's grasp.
 Under these conditions intervention is not only inevitable but imperative.
 President Wilson will find the American people solidly behind him in the new and more peremptory tone of his communication to the revolu- tionary leader at present giving the most trouble; it will be welcomed as an evidence that he cannot longer close his eyes to the obligation of the United States to perform that which she denies to the European nations the right to do.
 The action of this country in invit- ing the mediation of Argentina, Brazil and Chile in the late Huerta unpleas- antness did more to disarm Latin American suspicion than all the Pan- American congresses ever held. Here is another opportunity further to win their regard.
 Invite their cooperation; and if it becomes necessary organize a joint expedition and march to the relief of Mexico City as did the allies on the opposite side of the globe in 1900. The Mexican capital is as badly in need of such relief as was the For bidden City. s

WAR ECHOES

New Republic: Nothing, perhaps, better demonstrates the fashion in which the world is changing under our eyes all most hourly, nothing more thoroughly emphasizes the greatness of the time In which we are living, than the struggle now going on at the western sea gate of Constantinople After five centuries the sands of the Osmanli are running out, the Eastern question, which for two cen- turies has kept the world by the ears, is approaching a final liquidation, and dimly. through the fog of the tumultuous present it is possible to perceive a time when Russia may fulfill the forecast of the great Napoleon, may dominate con- tinental Europe with one hand on the Dardanelles and the other on the mouth of the Vistula. All the British states men see, have long seen, but they had to choose between the Russian and the German, and wisely or mistakenly they have chosen the Slav and must hence forth abide by the consequences of their decision.
 New York Tribune: The sinking of the German submarines operating in the British war zone'' shows that a bold at tack is the best way to meet the sub marine peril We said a few days ago that the undersea boat was too vulnera- ble to be depended upon as a blockader It may do a great deal of damage if pitted against huge battleships or ocean liners. But if vigorously pursued by small craft or by hydroplanes it has to turn tail because it Is more in danger than they are.
 Some British destroyers surprised and destroyed U-S off Dover. the submarines crew being made prisoners. French de- stroyers are reported to have sunk an- other submarine off the French coast. Moreover, the captain of the steam col Her Thordis claims that he rammed an undersea boat on February 2s, and the injuries to the collier, is inclined to credit the captains assertion.
 If the "war zone'' is thoroughly pa- trolled by hydroplanes and small armed craft, the activities of the submarines can probably be greatly restricted. The most important thing at present is to dispel the uncanny terror which has been 1n- spired by submarine operations. After a few more have been destroyed the morale of the counter attack will be raised and the commanders of submarines will lose the overweening confidence acquired through easy feats like dispatching the Hogue, the Greasy and the Aboukir.
 The undersea boat has still long way to go before it establishes mastery of the sea.

 q had the pleasure recently of being host at a most enjoyable dinner in the club cafe.'' said Dr. Howell T. Heflin. My two guests were Judge c. w. Ferguson and MT. F. I. Monks. Of course, every one will remember Mr. Monks and his late departure for Ireland to claim a bride in the old country. with the romantic circumstances which were well played up by the Birmingham press.
 This affair was in the nature of farewell dinner to the 1ove-sick' swain and the conversation became quito 'spoony.' Judge Ferguson seemed dis. posed to thoroughly sympathize with the feelings expressed by the good-natured Irishman; and it leaked out toward the end of the evening that while on trip to Europe last summer his heart had also been touched in soft spot. It seems that the object of his honor's affections was a London maid. In fact, would not be at all surprised if something to this ef- feet were announced in the not far dis tant future.
 After supper the three of us repaired to the first floor of the club and listened to the strains of numerous love lyrics un- til late hour. Wasn't it lovely even- ing?"

 "A voice came from the audience:
 You seem to know lot, sir, about farmers difficulties. May ask ques- ton about a momentous one?
 Certainly replied the candidate with some degree of trepidation.
 How can you tell bad egg? went on the merciless voice.
 After the laughter had in measure died away, the candidate replied:

Too Much Speed

John W. Anderson, advertising mana ger for the Pizitz store. likes to listen to a good story, and is exceptionally fond of telling one himself This is his latest one, and he delivers it with 42- centimeter effect at every opportunity.
 "A young negro preacher from the city happened to be out in a backwoods negro settlement one Sunday morning and was requested to preach the ser mon.
 Now, the most devout member of the church and senior deacon was Uncle Ben, an ignorant old negro. who had never seen an electric light or ridden in an automobile. Uncle Ben sat in the front pew and was much impressed with the sermon.
 "The preacher started the closing prayer in the following language: -'Oh Lord, this world does move, and we thank you for this age of progress in which we live and move and have our being. (Uncle Ben says Amen.) Oh Lord we thank you for the horses and car riages that carry us over the country at the rate of eight and 10 miles an hour. (Uncle Ben says, praise the Lord). Oh Lord, we thank you for the express train that carries us on steel rails from city to city at the rate of 35 and 40 miles an hour. (Uncle Ben says Amen). Oh Lord, we thank you for the automo- bile that carries us up the mountain sides and down tlrough the valley at the rate of 80 miles an hour (Uncle Ben says, Amen; praise the Lord). Oh Lord, we thank you for the aeroplane that carries us over the tops of the trees and houses through the heavens at the rate of 800 mile an hour Uncle Ben exclaims G. D-D."

Remarkable Vitality of Alabama Vet

'In very interesting editorial in The Age-Herald of yestelS>y I observed that the number of living Confederate veterans is place at 45,O00," said an old soldier yesterday.
 'It is probably 5O,0OO, hardly more Isn't it strange that of these 50,000 old soldiers, 5000 of them are now on the pension roll of Alabama? Such is the truth. In addition to these 5000 veterans there are in round figures 1000 widows of Confederate veterans on the Ala bama pension roll
 These are startling figures and if any reader doubts their accuracy he has only to call at the auditors of- flee in Montgomery and he can verify CT disprove the statement. At the be- ginning of the war in 1861 the white population of Alabama was little over 5O0,000. It Is a large estimate to say that one out of 10 of this population was sent to the army of the Confed- crate states, or about 50,000 men. It is safe to say that at least 15,000 were killed or died during the four years of the war. Let us say that 40, 900 of them survived and were alive in 1865.
 "The average age of these veterans was 25 years According to all the nor tality tables not more than a fourth of these would now be alive, say 10, 900 men. Is it not remarkable that of these 10000 men, 5000 are on the pension roll of the state? Admit that veterans have moved in from other states. It must be remembered that very many of the Alabama veterans have moved away from this state and their relative nun bers have not been materially changed" :"
