Army Promotions

Everybody will be glad to know that Congress rewarded with high rank Col George w. Goethals, the builder of the Panama canal, Brig. Gen. w c. Gorgas, surgeon-general of the United States army, who cleaned up and made sani- tary the canal zone and Lieut.. Col. W. L.. Sibert, one of the ablest engineers as- signed to assist Colonel Goethals in the construction of the canal,'' said a mem- Der of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Just before adjourning Congress passed bills and the President signed them cre- ating the rank of major general for Goe- thals, the rank of major general for pr. Gorgas, and the rank of brigadier general for Sibert. General Gorgas and General Sibert are Alabamians.
 Gadsden is General Siberts home and he has a speaking acquaintance vtth nearly every man in Etowah county His jump was as unusual as it was merited. It will be only a question of time when he will succeed to the position of chief of engineers

WHAT THE BULLET sANf,

WHAT THE BULLET SANG By Bret Harte. o joy of creation
 To bet o rapture to fly
 And be free Be the battle lost or won, Though it's smoke shall hide the sun, shall find my love--the one
 Born for me! shall know him where he stands
 All alone, With the power in his hands
 Not oerthrown; shall know him by his face, By his godlike front and grace; shall hold him for a space
 All my owni It is he--O my love.
 So bold! It is I-all thy love
 Foretold! It is I, O love! What bliss Dost thou answer to my kiss? O sweetheart! What is this
 Lieth there 70 cold7

BEGINNING THE DAY-God, keep me from getting out of step with my world. May I consider myself wrong rather than accuse all men else. May I look well to sec if have not offended; to see if I am not peculiar; to see if | am not causing the lack of harmony. For Christ,s sake. Amcn.-H. M. E.

BE AGGRESSIVE.

He made the best of what befell
 And always wore a smile; That sort of fellow does quite well.
 But one who's more worth while Gets mad as blazes now and then
 And hits some good hard blows, And won't take jeers from ether men
 Who don't know half he knows.

Better Conditions in Bushes. World

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati cir cular, just issued says:
 What evidences of business activity the week disclosed were generally in the di- rection of improvement. Reduction of un- employed in many lines continues Our remarkable export business goes on and is bringing about not only actual value in trade balance, but is effective in mak- ing for enthusiasm and better feeling which is an essential part in expected enterprise.
 "The week has seen brightening, both as regards sales and generous inquiry, in the local territory Purchases have cov- cred many varieties and grades among which charcoal iron has predominated.
 There is no change in prices, although good sales and shipments in the south have presumably strengthened the feel ing at that point. In all directions re- ports indicate nothing of startling in terest, but continued slow upward trend in all associated lines.
 Buying of steel products during the week was fair. but gives indication of increase in structurals and rails. Rail- road buying was light in both rolling stock and equipment.
 'It is reported that some round ton nages of foundry iron for export were closed including basic, low phosphorus and foundry grades.
 ''It would appear that the average melt of the jobbing foundry and machine shops is increasing. slight though the increase is and the percentage of operation among this large class of consumers is gradually climbing.
 While the operations improve in the Connellsville district, there has been no change in the current market in either furnace or foundry coke"

The Living Church: We need not be too sensitive over the threat of each of the belligerents to starve out the other. It is wholly unlikely that either party can full fill this desire. Germany has large agri- cultural and manufacturing resources of it's own, had undoubtedly made large i'm portations in advance in anticipation of the war and can supplement her home produced supplies very considerably through her open access to the marnets of neutral Switzerland. Great Britain has her navy to give protection to her ample merchantmen, and though there may be losses through the threatened at tacks of German submarines and mines,. it is hardly within the range of possibility that an effective blockade of her coast can be made by the enemy sufficient to exclude the importation of supplies. Even If it were otherwise it Ehust be remem- bered that the principle of the siege has always been accepted as legitimate in war. But so far from famine being imminent in either land, it appears that foodstuffs are actually cheaper thus far in both the besligerent countries than they are in the United States, and, apart from the problem OF refugees, there is probably less suffering tfrom unemployment and consequent poverty in either England or Germany than there is in our own coun- try. Our few ocean craft do not need to sail over these war zone" seas, nor do the interests of humanity require us to transport supplies to belligerent coun- tries in American vessels. If we are to make vigorous diplomatic representations to inc bel.igerent nations let them be in the interest of humanity of the protec tion and care of refugees of saving non-- combs tants from peril from aircraft and submarines, and not in the interest of the American dollar.

WAR ECHOES

John Reed in the March Metropolitan: The direct war contributions in Lille amounted to more than 100000 francs a month The Germans had confiscated all the food supplies. and there were notices posted on the house walls requiring every slabltant to declare to the governor the pitiful little amounts of flour, corn sugar, coffee, etc. in their kitchens, so that even these could be scraped together when they were needed.
 For three months the Germans have been systematically combing the country; food, leather, rubber, cloth, copper-even down to the copper street car wires. For instance, the bakers had no more four to make bread and stormed the Maire when u cir shop fronts were smashed by the mob. The harassed Maire appealed to the German governor, who sold back enough condemned and decayed flour to feed the population for two weeks for the sum of S00000 francs in gold and notes on the Bank of France. Now there is no bread to eat in northern France, except bitter black bread, made half of bad flour and half of potatoes The poverty is ter rlb,e. At the outbreak of the war the city had guaranteed to pay "chomage' to people out of work, and also allowances to the wives and families of soldiers serv- ing in the army. These things, munich pal official tcld me with tears in his eyes, tnu city could no longer do.
 If help does not come in month" he said, trembling, we will all starve."
 At the cafe where I took my aperitif. men and women crawled about under the tables like animals. picking up scraps of food. A coal wagon passed along the street, tnrong of women crouching un- derileath with outstretched aprons to eaten the dust that filtered down-for it was January and cold.
 The city police in uniforms paced their beats-to keep order among the popula- tion. The maire sat in his office in the Hotel de Vile. When the German com mandant wanted to confiscate anything, he sent the requisition order to add his authority to the seizure. Sometimes the Germans did not know where to find the things they wanted; and soldier would bring a rote which read, q want 800 pairs of shoes by 2 o'clock;" or, Please deliver all the copper in the city to me by Wednesday noon. You are responsible for the complete execution of this or der.'' Ie|
 And the maire's son was, one of the 12 hostages who slept under German guard inf th } citadel.
 Sc you see the official contributions of war were a small art of the ransom of Lille.
