TO the Editor of The Age Herald;
 The resignation of Secretary of state William Jennings Bryan to President Wilson will be similar to the resisna- ton of Secretary Blaine to President Harrison The result was the election of Grover Cleveland in 1892 against President Harrison. Students Of pcls- tics fully understand that Cleveland beat Blaine in 1884. In 1888 Harrison beat Cleveland. In 1892 Cleveland whipped Harrison. Blaine, like Bryan, bolted the cabinet and caused the de- feat to his party.
 But the American people are more intelligent now than then. This coun- try does not desire war because we are too mixed in blood and population ana I think that President Wilson and the democratic party have sense enoush to pilot the old ship of state to sais- tv It is needless for me as negro 70 refer to my reputation as an educator and democrat in Alabama for third ot a century. I beg you to publish the remarks of A former newspaper editor.

ITALIANS FROM
 AMERICA ARRIVE

Rome, June 11.-(Via Chiasso and Paris, 11:50 D. m.)-Several thousand Italians, recalled to the colors or vol for army service, arrived to- day from America and Canada and were received with outbursts of enthusiasm from the crowds. Some of the new corners wore badges on which the Italian and American colors were en- tw1ned and this gave rise to cries of "Viva America" mingled with Viva Italia"
 Some of these recruits, although Italian subjects according to the Ital- ian law, were born in America and do rot speak the Italian language. Others already had been here to fight in the LIbyan war and are anxious to utilize the experience which they acquired -theul Many, more are sexpectads

Site for School for Blind

To the Editor of The Age -Heraldi
 l notice in your paper of last Sunday about wanting a site for a school for the blind. I offer a site of one acre. I only have Il acres, but will give one of them for the site if the school will locate here. I am station agent for the Frisco railway. and want to build up our little town, although I can i'll afford to donate to anything. Adamsvile is located 13 miles from Birmingham on the Frisco railway: one mile from Blossburg on the Southern railway; on good pike road, Bir- minsham to Jasper. and believe an ideal place for the school We have fine train service, good rates, both passenger and freight not too close In or too far out
 You can let me know what you think of lit, as to locating school here, anyway. Yours truly. M. w. SCOTT AdamsviIIe June 6, 1915,

Bryan the Fakir

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 That was sure enough opportune cartoon in this mornings Age Herald I differ with the persons who say this was an inopportune time for Bryan to resign the office of Secretary of State. It was a most opportune time for the President to get rid of an ignorant clerk who was wholly incapable of aid ing the President in the preparation of state papers. The President long ago perceived the shallow mind of his Sec retary of State and so undertook work that properly belonged to the state de- pa and Bryan resigned because he realized he was the laughing stock of statesmen and not because he dit- fered with the President. From what high peak do Peter B. Olney, Philander C. Knox and Elihu Root view this pigmy below? Bryan wants to become the Dernberg of America as the tickets of admission can be easily increased one-third since he resigned.
 He isn't true American even, or he would not have tried to hamper the President at this most trying time. He could have resigned in courteous manner without giving any reason But no. the opportune time for him to re- sign with profit to himself had come nd he snatched 1t. Like the jackass, he stood in front of Newspaper Row and prayed 1t to the world. In Lansing the President now has the genuine scholar and legal mind and there will be no war with Germany either
 The American people will stand right behind President Wilson and his cabi- net-always excepting of course the Hon. Josephus Daniels.
 In this mornings paper Bryan asks the American people to consider him honest in his intentions. Do the presi- cents and cashiers of the Birmingham banks go around the streets asking cur citizens that question? No don't need to. GEORGE Fl. ROGERS.
