Thus, slowly, from day to day, through the first week which has passed since the appeal of the Creche was made, grows the annual Thanksgiving Age-Herald fund which the children are contributing to help their less fortunate fellow chil- dren in the Mercy Home.
 These loving gifts of the children are gratefully acknowledged, and if they could but see and understand what their gifts really mean, they would better realize the blessing which must go with them.
 But the needs are great ,and the dire necessities for which the fund was origi- mated and for which it is likewise the sole dependence of those 54 little boys and girls are not yet half provided for. let alone anything more than their actual needs.
 So today the appeal Is again made, and as earnestly as mere words can convey It. The children's fund for the orphans and less fortunate children who are in need Give from every family something, whether they i've in Birmingham or out of it. It may be in the form of check, money order or money itself, and it may be sent to The Age-Herald Greene fund or addressed to Mrs. Charles E. Thomas, treasurer, 2155 Highland avenue, Birming- ham.

of Bagdad, and the city atsthe CLOSE
Of the year remains safe for the Teu-
tons. Nevertheless, during the years
fighting, the British have captured
the Garden of Eden and other terri-.
tory between the Tigris and Euphra-
tes rivers greatly desired by Germany.
# the German dream OF "a Teutonic
empire in the Middle East is to come
true, the district between Bagdad and
the Garden of Eden, $50 miles to-
the south, must either be won by a
new military offensive, or purchased
in the peace conference after the
war. X -......- ....- -.. ~
The military developments of the
year make it certain that the Rus
sian bear will not be able to take his
drink of warm water at the Persian
Gulf, and little less than miracle
must now happen to give the czar
Constantinople for an outlet to the
unfrozen seas. The British effort to-
enter Constantinople by way of the
Gallipoli peninsula has failed during
the year, and Great Britain is now
reluctant to undertake. second cost
ly experiment in southeastern Europe
for Russia's sake. The ease with
which the Teutons and Bulgarians
have been able to overrun Serbia ap-
parently has been due to Great Brit
aims disinclination to risk wasting
her strength in a major Balkan often
sive. The odds all favor the Teu-
tonic allies in the Balkans because
of their unimpeded lines of communi-
cation.
British interest in the Balkan
campaign is primarily due to it's bear
ing on the security of Egypt. Lord
Kitchener's visit to the rLevant dur
ing the latter part of the year and
his quick return, seem to have Gre
ated belief in London that Egypt
can be better defended along the Suez
canal than in the Balkans. The ad-
vantage of communications, which
the Germans possess in the Balkans,
would pass to the British if the Teu-
tons and the Turks were to attempt
an offensive by crossing the desert
to the east of Suez. ).
The Russians, however, are urg-
emily pressing Great Britain to pur-
sue the Balkan campaign. Other
wise, the czar will probably be the
wars principal loser. His own
troops, waiting, as the year ends, to
invade Bulgaria by way of Rumania,
can hardly prove equal to the task
unassisted. The Teutons, Bulgarians
and Turks have certainly 100000 men
available for Balkan operations and
this force might possibly be increased
to million. Unquestionably differ

New York, Dec. 27.-Germany has
won the overland pathway to her
place in the sun, as the close of the
fighting of 1915 merges into the Sec
ond winter of the European war. But
the seas still remain shut to the
Teutons and economic distress and
food scarcity are exerting more pro-
nounced pressure for peace in the
central empires than among the other
belligerent nations.
The primary cause of the war has
been lost this year to both of the or
iginal participants. The conflict be-
gan over the irreconcilable Balkan
differences of Russia and Austro-Hun-
gary. Each power wanted to be SUI
preme in southeastern Europe. The
end of the fighting in 1915 finds Rus
sia held in check beyond the Balkan
border, while Austro- Hungary is play
ing minor military part in Serbia
under the direction of Marshal Won
Mackensen and the German general
staff German influences are now dom
tinant in the Balkans. The kaiser
has wrestled the first prize of the wal
from the Slavs themselves, and from
his own southern ally as we'll.
Bulgaria's entrance into the con-
flict on the side of the Teutons has
been the years most important de-
velopment. The military conse-
quences which have followed Bulga-
ria's action, have given to the Ger
mans clear road from Berlin to Bag
dad. The Messopotamian metropolis
has long been marked by German
statesmen to become the Berlin OF
the Middle East and the center of
Germany's place in the sun. The
years events having opened for Ger
many the rear entrance into Bagdad,
the kaiser must continue to fight to
the point of exhaustion for perman-
ent posses ion of this precious right
of way. The British fleet can pre-
vent Germany from expanding over
seas, but it cannot block the road to
the new empire in the east. This Is
the dominant reason for Germany's
interest in Bagdad.
An Anglo-1ndian expedition, after
twelve months toll northward
through MesOpOtamia from the Per.
sian Gulf, is now trying to enter Bag.
dad by the front door. But the Turks

fhls PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN
ADVERTISING BY THE
BIRTH OF A YEAR OF WHAT?

With the birth of the new year the
question will naturally arise, what
will it bring us?"
Will it be peace, or war? Will it
be plenty, or what?
No human being can answer that
question today, though some may
make a ludicrous bluff at doing so.
At no time in the life of the pres
ent generation has the birth of new
year been fraught with so much un-
certainty with regard to the world
in general and our own country in
particular.
We all hope and pray that the war
may end and that the world may re-
turn to some semblance of sanity and
commercial stability. But there is
no certainty-only an intense long
ing for something that is not.
We are pinning our faith to the
ability of our country to keep free
from foreign entanglements, but
again there is no certainty-only an
abiding faith that may be founded
upon the phantasies of our dreams.
We are looking and longing for
the day to come when men will cease
to butcher one another and return
to the more humanizing pursuits of a
peaceful life. But our longing re-
suits only in more looking and long
ing. There is no peace.
We anticipate year of great COM
mercial prosperity for the people of
our own country, and it will be theirs
if no unforeseen combination of in
cidents overturn the tranquility of
the nation. But in this, too, there
is an "if," and the if is not of our
making.
We are promised a year of unex-
ampled activity among the factories,
and in the fields, and in all of the
marts Of trade, but much of it will
depend upon the actions of other ma
tions than ours. And we are today
a government and a people without
friends among other peoples of the
earth.
We have grown and expanded and
developed until we are the richest
of all the countries of the world, and
yet our great wealth is today of ac-
tual menace to our peace and Sc
curity Of the future, for the nation
that is hungry for gold will not be
choice in it's mode of attack when
the time for invasion comes.
But let us face the future with
optimism and with faith, with eyes
open to every essential fact, and with
firm determination to persevere
and to conquer in the face Of all OBJ
stacles.
Let us dare to be just and right
in all of our dealings with nations
and with individuals, and when san
1ty returns to the world we will reap
as we have sown.
Let us put our own house in order
by placing the country in a state
of defense sufficient to insure us from
attack from without, and then let
us give the world to understand that
we are just and righteous people,
that we seek to do harm to no man
or collection of men, and that we
have nothing in our hearts but good
will towards all people,
The new year will bring us some
thing, but what that something is
to be will depend greatly upon the
course we ourselves pursue.
Never in the history of our coun-
try has it been put more plainly and
emphatically and squarely up to us.

GEORGIA'S ONE CHANCE.

Georgia will have hard time liv-
ing down the disgrace some of its
citizens brought upon it by the lynch
ing of Leo NJ. Frank.
The Georgian, convicted of the MUIR
der of Mary Phagan, had been perse-
cuted beyond measure. Convicted by
a mob-awed jury. he was nearly the
victim of the wrath of the mob as he
was taken to the prison farm al Mil
ledgeville. At the farm, he was near
ly assassinated by a fellow convict
who was inspired by the mob spirit
which prevailed in Georgia at the
time
Now the mob has got" him at last
They not only lynched him, but they
wanted to mutilate the body.
AS his mother said, Leo is through
his troubles" but the state of Geor-
gia will have to suffer now. Even if
the officers are able to find and con-
vict some of the lynchers, this last
disgraceful act of Georgia's citizens
will only be partly atoned for.
The investigation. which is now be-
ing started, must be conducted i'm good
faith, or Georgia will stand forever
disgraced in the eyes of her sister
states.
