MAsrER oF sTRATEGY

Walter Prichard Eaton in Harper's Mag
 azine for November
 The woodchuclz shows strategy. not only in his fighting. but in the construction of his defensive works. his burrow. If you will take careful note next summer, on your walks, of all the woodchuck holes you come across, you will probably be sur- prised to find in how many cases the animal can secure an outlook of consider able radius either from the mouth of the hole or point conveniently near it. It may be in the open pasture, when it is more likely to be on a slope than in a hollow, thus securing both outlook and better drainage. It may be among rock1. but within easy distance of some peak which commands a prospect. It may be in the woods. in or under fallen log, but the chuck can climb the log to look about. It may be among the scrub growth by an old stone wall, and you will say. "IIa, here is an exception!" But do not be too hasty. Some day. passing the spot, you will see Q shrewd face and fat body up on the wall The woodchuck digs in'' like modern army. But, like an army, he also puts his trenches where they can command the approaches.

Richard Harding Davis In France

The Age-Herald Sunday will score another big exclusive feature when it begins a series of articles from France by Richard Harding Davis, probably the most widely known war corre- spondent in the world. The Age- Herald believes nothing is too good for it's readers and with this idea in view the greatest newspaper features in the world are continually placed at their disposal.
 MT. Davis first article from Bor- deaux is but one of the great features of next Sundays issue. The Rotogra- vure Section will be superb, with it's views of some of Uncle Sam's sea fighters, European war scenes, a striking view of the greatest irriga- tion dam in America and the unique fashion display.

THE NEED FOR EMPHASIZES

From the November Worlds Work.
 The British navy has succeeded in de- stroying between GO and 75 German sub- marines. This fact strengthens the opin- opposed to Sir Percy Scott in his assump- ton that the submarine has scrapped the battleship.
 In the first place then, in determining what we ought to have now as a. naval programme, 1t Is of interest that the gen. eral navy board-with the exception of it's presiding officer, Admiral Dewey, al- most totally different in it's makeup from the board of 1903-said, in November, 1914:
 "The general board remains of the opin- ion 1t has always held, that command of the sea can be gained and held only by vessels that can take and keep the sea in all times and in all weathers and overcome tho strongest enemy vessels that can be brought against them. Other types are valuable and have their par ticular uses, all of which are indispensa- ble but limited in character. But what has been true throughout all naval wars of the past and what is equally true to- that can command the sea consists of the strongest sea-going, sea-keeping ships of it's day, or of its battleships The gen. eral board therefore recommends that four of them be authorized"

Back Home" a dramatization made from the delightful volume of stories by Irwin Cobb, bearing the same title, was presented for the first time in New York this week. The critics gave unstinted praise. to the play and the actors. Bayard Veiller, who wrote within the Law" dramatized Back Home" and succeeded admirably in retaining the tenderness, humor and quaint characteristics of the persons who figure in MT. Cobb's stories. Judge Priest is played in capital style by John ". Cope and Willis P. Sweatnam, whose negro impersonations are famous, shares honors with MT. Cope as the judges black servant, Jeff. No better short stories have ever been written by an American author than these master pieces of MT. Cobb. Readers who enjoyed the stories in their book form will now have the added pleasure of seeing MT. Cobb's characters delightfully."- portrayed on the stage.

Anniston Rejoices

The announcement that the works of the Illinois Car and Equipment company at Anniston will be con- verted into munitions plant was joy fully received by the-citizens of that town. The car plant has changed hands number of times and has met with many vicissitudes. It was found impossible to manufacture box cars at profit and the huge enterprise, with it's costly equipment, seemed doomed to remain idle permanently.
 Now, however, there is good reason to believe that highly remunerative venture has been undertaken, with success practically assured. Some new machinery will have to be installed, to make the manufacture of shells possible, the principal need being an electric furnace for turning out high grade steel. It is estimated that the furnace will cost about $60,000, com oaratively . small sum. considering

Safety On Railroads

Only 265 passengers were killed on American railroads in 1914 out of 1,6OO, ,0OO,0O0 carried. Ninety-three principal systems and about 200 smaller lines, operating 250,000 miles of rail, made this excellent showing. Last year the Union Pacific railroad carried nearly 1O,0O0,000 passengers without a single loss of life. During seven years the Southern Pacific has not had a fatality among nearly 300,- 900, ,OOO persons transported by this system.
 A writer in Leslie's Weekly says the "records show that American railroad management is today the most eff cient in the world" Not only have American railroads contributed vastly to the comfort of their patrons when travelling and established service un- equaled in the world for speed, but by adopting safety devices as soon as they were made practical have reduced the loss of life to minimum.
 Doubtless the time will come when even fewer lives will be lost among the millions of people who travel in trains, but the possibility of being killed is already so remote that only the most timorous traveller ever gives the matter thought.

THE OTHER END

Chatterton lived meanly upon bread a water. but he lived gloriously upon spiration and upon hope when he succeeded in getting his stomach of bread. And he drank the hemlo no doubt. with bolsrerlng feeling u he was the lt ser. The self love of you is not vulnerable to the 1eaden bullets stupid criticism. if, indeed, to the sil, bullets of accurate appraisal.

BRIEF DECISIONS

From Judge.
 The most regrettable feature of the av- craze auto accident is that the driver es- capes with few bruises.
 Everybody knows just what widow is going to do next, but no one can be sure just when.
 Politeness doesn't cost anything. It wouldn't be worth anything if 1t did.
 Some people sell out for money, while others let money give them away.
 There is plenty of room at the top, but there isn't any place to sit down.
 A pessimist is a man who doesn't know anybody who cares to know him.
 It isn't what man knows that counts, but what he is reputed to know.
 When there isn't anything to talk about, woman alone can do 1t justice.
 He learns most in the school of experi- ence who loves his teacher best
 All things come to him who waits-if he gets there in time.
 A man is always in hurry to marry the wrong woman.
 Prosperity has ruined many man for his own good. There isn't any trouble going to waste.
 Some men are married to hush money.

JAPAN'S POPULAR DRINK
London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 There are not many establishments in London where customers can procure sake. This beverage, whisch should be drunk warm to appreciate the full flavor, Is of a clear. light yellow color, and tastes like highly sweetened sherry
 It is made of steamed rice, treated by a process which converts the starch into sugar; fermentation then sets up, and sake is produced. The character of the water has definite effect on the spirit that results, and for the best quality only the purest water is employed.
 An excise duty equivalent to shilling a gallon is levied on sake, the amount thus raised in 1912 totaling f2S,00o 900. The name is said to be derived from the town of Osaka. which from time immemorial has been famous for sake brewing, and it has been suggested that the name of Falstaff's beloved sack came to us from Japan by way of Spanish or Portuguese traders.

States Greatest Asset

"Alabama rivers are the greatest asset the state possesses said Henry A.. Bradshaw, Florence lawyer and mem- Der of the legislature, who spent yester- day in Birmingham.
 Senator Bankhead said some days ago that the rivers in the future would be found to be far more valuable than the rich deposits of coal with which this state is enriched. And I agree with him. If we can harness Muscle Shoals. our sec tion will bloom with new industries. The open Warrior hass reduced the cost of transporting coal from Birmingham to New Orleans 60 cents per ton.
 T am en route now to Gadsden, where will serve as delegate to the Ala bama-Eoosa River association The meet ing will be well attended, am informed. These two streams are of great value and deserve the attention of Congress. I pre- sume the members of the association will be content with the passage of the gem eral dam bill which permits corporations to construct dams and develop power and improve for purposes of navigation, the streams, at the same time"

the initial cost of the car works. A total of $250,0O0 will, it is said, put the munitions plant in operation.
 That the new undertaking will mean a great deal to Anniston there can be no doubt. In days gone by prosperous times were reckoned by the years when the car works were in operation. The city is no longer de- pendent on a single industry, but the munitions plant will nevertheless be welcomed with general satisfaction.

 The struggles of Thomas Chatterton, who wrote upon a diet of bread and water, and poisoned himself at the ten- der age of IS. when he had been with out bread for several oays, are not at all the lyrical experiences of capable young authors nowadays. Anyone who can write literature can sell it without long wajtrG. The market is keen and aggressive. Anyone who will write for the press as Chatterton did, in the in terim, may get more than enough bread to so with hts drinking water. But there are many traeical features of the other end of the story of authorship. Not all authors of the period arc prodigal. Many of them ale as shrewd bargainers and as careful savers of dollars as anyone who works in bank and learns to ap- preciate the beauty of the theory that money should work for man, as well as man for money, and that the story of compound interest Is of more human interest than a whole sneaf of human documents so-called. But there are au- thors, not few. who live royalty upon royalties as long as their books sell. And there arc many sellers" which by no means outlast the life of the man or woman who pens them. As result there are hack writers who nave survived the public's favor and arc glad to turn an honest penny at any work that offers. There are physically stricken writers be- ref. of their ability to do a days work, and authorship is quite as hard work as digging potatoes. There is the added difficulty that for the average author there is not a potato in every hill. to say nothing of hatful of them.

HOW FRANK NORRIS WROTE

From the New York Telegram.
 Frank Norris, the well known author of 'The Pit" '+rhe Octopus" and ''van- dover and the Brute" once sent a letter to Ward Macauley. the Detroit book seller. in answer to certain general ques- tions about Norris writing.
 Don't believe fiction writer should shut himself up in his profession" the letter says, in part Novels can't be written from the closet or study. You've got to live your stuff. Believe novelists of all people should take interest in con temporary movements, politics, interna- tional affairs, the big things in the world.
 T write with great difficulty, but have managed somehow to accomplish 70 short stories Gall published in fugitive fashion) and five novels within the last three years, and lot of special unsigned arti- cles. Believe my forte is the novel. Don't like to write but like having written.
 Hate the effort of driving pen from line to line. work only three hours a day, but work every day. Believe In blunt, crude Anglo-Saxon words Some times spend half an hour trying to get the right combination of one-half dozen words. Never rewrite stuff; do all hard work at first writing, only revise-very lightly-in typewriter copy"
