Allies Latest Move

With a practical deadlock existing in both the eastern and western war zones, and being unable to make any appreciable headway against the Turks on Gallipoli peninsula, the allies are reported about to make the only move left to them in the war game. Their projected drive through Bulgaria, if successfully carried out, will not only save Servia from com plete disaster, but will considerably improve the complexion of affairs in the Balkans, so far as the allies are concerned, by taking the starch out of the cocky Bulgarians, checking the Austro-T -Teutonic drive in that region and preventing direct railway con- munication from being established be- tween Berlin and Constantinople over the Orient railroad.
 Roumania is said to be considerably impressed by the proximity of large body of Russian troops, and if the allies begin strong offensive the political effect on Roumania will be very great.
 The rumor that Berlin is worried over the situation indicates that Ger man diplomacy, having failed ir Greece, has met with little better sue cess in Roumania. Earl Kitchener has arrived in Rome. His visit to Greece was very brief, but bore i'm mediate results.
 The allies have been deplorably slow, but they have an opportunity now to strike a decisive blow and re- deem their pledges to Servia, who has made a gallant, though futile, stand

shipping they had a right to do with their submarines, without visit and search" or even notice of attack. Be cause they want to prevent the allies from getting supplies they have right to burn and blow up American factories. Because they want to destroy ships car rying cargoes for the allies. and are un- able to do so on the high seas, they have a right to do so in the neutral har- bors of the United States. Such reason ing can be convincing only to those who have been brought up to regard the will Of the Kaiser as the supreme law. tranS- cending all other laws of man or God. It will never be acceptable to Americans.
 As to the fear which the government has been under of the German vote. WI can only say that the taunts addressed to it by the Fatherland and other Ger man papers as the result of the recent elections have evidently worked the wrong way and have had the effect to brace the getic action. Attorney General Gregory is quite Justified In protesting. as he has done against the inactivity of the state authorities in connection with the local outrages Most of these acts are essen tially violation of state laws. They come under federal Jurisdiction only when tho conspiracy which guided and inspired them passes the grounds of state. Ii the state authorities of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York are too much afraid of the German vote to institute prosecutions in the case of these viola tions, the people of the whole country will want to know it.

pameron welcomes Friend

 ham to a total stranger.
 '1rhe gentleman in question made ms appearance at the club this morning. He was evidently under the impression that the Birmingham Newspaper club was an Organization formed for the specific pur-
 pose of advertising Birmingham. At any rate, he told me that he wanted to see the city.

reappointment stress the rapid growth of civil service sentiment. But so long as the postmasters of the first, sec ond and third class are outside of the nonpartisant classified list-and they must remain so until Congress enacts a law abolishing the Senate's right of confirmation-the question of civil service need not be considered.
 President Cleveland carried out the civil service spirit when he allowed republican postmasters to continue their four-year term. And President Wilson has pursued the same course. It is unreasonable to ask more.
 Scores of postmasters in large cities are to be appointed within the next month or two. In many cases, no doubt, the republicans who are about to step out, and who have made high efficiency records, could get up peti- tions signed by citizens in general, asking that no change be made. But if the President were to retain the New York postmaster, he could not consistently refuse to act likewise in some other cases.
 The New York problem may have the effect of hastening the day some what when all postmasters will be placed by law under civil service rules, but that day is not in sight. In the meanwhile the old political "pie counter" has all but reached the van ishing point, and those members of Congress who are in the statesmen category and who therefore devote their time to large issues are not sorry.

 A astonishing revelation in the mat ter of German conspiracy against Amer ican industries and American neutrality.
 Beyond doubt the propagandists will be very much surprised that any such ac- tion is threatened They have all along proceeded on the double assumption, first, that they had somehow right to com init "acts of war; on the allies upon our territory, and second, that the gov ernment was too much afraid of the Ger man vote to do anything about 1t. As illustrating the first assumption, the plea of Paul Daeche, who was indicted at Newark, N J., for bomb plotting, is an interesting case in point. Daeche's coun- sel intimated that while he might have committed the acts charged, he had not violated the law. He was simply en- gagged in this country. in plotting and ar ranging for the blowing up or other destruction of vessels leaving American ports laden with arms and ammunition for the allies. Those vessels were car- ryluB COulIdpdnO OA wei, oAAo e'teesSA>A' upon and destruction or them were mere acts of war, and were, therefore, entirely lawful.
 It Is not easy to determine whether such utterances are the result of ignor- ance or effrontery. That the acts in question were in a sense acts of war is not to be denied. But we nave yet to hear of any legal authority which bel ligerent power or it's agents can have for committing acts of war against an- other belligerent on the soil or within the waters of a neutral. A German may sink a British ship, if he can, on the high seas, or in British or German Wa ters. With that we should have noth- ing to do. But he most assuredly may not sink it in American waters, or com init within the limits of this country any act which will cause it's destruction, with out violating the law in the gravest manner. So a German may shoot
 Frenchman as an act of war. in France or in Flanders: but the ''act Of war plea would scarcely secure him immunity if he did the shooting in the streets of l Boston.
 1 The case affords another example of the amazing national megalomania from which too many Germans seem to be sui fering. They think that they have 3 right to do whatever they please, wher- ever they please. and that the simple l fact that it is they who do it necessarily
 makes it legal Because they wanted tc 1 invade France by way of Belgium, they
 had right to violate Belgian neutrality,

Opportunity for College Graduate

In no large field of practical opera
 tion is there a greater demand for
 technically educated young men than
 in railroad service.
 1 All the great transportation com- panies are reducing their everyday economies to a science The time was when only few men near the top were supposed to have a scientific turn. But that time has passed. In all departments the man who rises IS one who has the initiative faculty, and in no department is more lm- portance attached to practical experl- ence, combined with technical knowl- edge, than in the operating or the maintenance of way branch.
 On the best managed lines skill derived from overall service will not alone suffice any more than college education without severe apprentice ship will meet the requirements. If an ambitious man starts in the yards or on track work he must have first
 of all brains and trained mind and then he must learn the practical side bv working as a common laborer. The Southern railway, whose presi- dent, Fairfax Harrison, is at once a man of rare culture and past master in railroad economies, furnishes a good example. The distinction which MT. Harrison and his co-officials have achieved results, in some degree at least. to the thought they devoted to the principles of organization and to the encouragement they give to as- bring collegians who are willing to begin at the bottom and are deter mined to do their very best.
 Such being their "policy" the South ern railway has issued circular in which it is stated that the company seeks to enlist in the service of it's maintenance of way department young men of technical training who were "born and bred" in the south, and that it has maintained during the past two years and has now success fully established a school of student apprentices made up of graduates of the leading southern universities.
 This is in effect "a postgraduate course in overalls" The men are carefully selected and the course en- braces duties: First, as section la borer; second, as laborer in yards and terminals; third, as laborer i'll extra gang; fourth, as assistant foreman on extra gang or in the yards; fifth, as foreman; sixth, as assistant super visor, and so on up.
 The Southern has now in it's en- ploy thirteen student apprentices of whom seven have been promoted to assistant supervisor. That is the modern way and it is obviously the most thorough way of making high class railroad officials.
