The Snake of Silver Lake
From the Louisville Courier-Jour'

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 A reader of the Evening nedger of Philadelphia writes a letter to the ed- itor begging to refresh the memory of Walter F. Eaton, who misquoted a well known rhyme as follows:
 As I was going to Salt Lake"
 MT. Eaton's ear should have told him, thinks the contributor, that the line be- gins: ,
 "As was going to Silver Lake
 Wishing not to be too hard upon MT. Eaton, his critic says:

Auburn, October 7.-(Special )-The vic tory over Marion was a costly one for Auburn, as it meant the disabling of DuCote for at least a month, and the temporary laying up of Hairston. While DuCctes injury is not serious, still the fact that he will be out of the game dur ing the first month when ne should be getting the experience he needs to make q capable back is a severe nanc.cap rc Auburn in the games which come later.
 This experience was about all he need ed to become the best "frst-year'' full back that Auburn has ever had He is away above the average prep school man in all the departments of the game, in- terfering, tackiing and driving. His work in the Marion game was a feature along with the stellar work of Hairston. Cough man and Prendergast. tla.rston's injury is not serious and tSF9re is a possibility of his getting ill the Florida game. Cap tain Bidez is now back in the game, and with the aid of Shorty" Wren. who also showed good form in the Marion game the fuilback position will be well cared for in case Hairston is not able to get iii the Florida game. Steed will be moved from end to the back field and his place taken by Jones and Williamson.
 Steed is about the most valuable per former on the squad when 1t comes to raising the teams efficiency He has played center, guard, tacxi- and end and fits in nicely in the back field This sea son when Auburn is not overstocked with reserve material he will be especially val uable as substitute can be placed at his end position, and he can play the position which needs filling, regardless of it's char acter. He has shown excellent spirit ir peing moved from one position to the other to strengthen the team, even wher
 it lessens his possibility of becoming a star in one position.

 a. Gas rates reduced 5 per cent with agreement for additional reduction which is now about due and negotiations pend ing for additional reductions"
 Other cities obtain gas at as low a. price as 10 cents for 1000 cubic feet of gas, of 1900 British heat units. While Bir- mingham now pays % cents per 1000 for gas, of only 575 British heat units. If the commissioners had desired to favor the consumers of gas In Birmingham, they could doubtless have contracted for by product gas and had it furnished to our people at a cost not exceeding 10 cents per 1000 cubic feet. By the way, it has been extensively rumored that consumers are now getting a low quality of by product gas in lieu of the higher quality for which they are supposed to be paying.
 "A. Secured passage of bill grant ing power to city to regulate telephone rates"
 Yes, but the legislature has wisely passed a bill, undemocratic as it may be. which takes the regulation of all matters pertaining to public utilities out of the hands of the city commis : sioners. evidently influenced to do so by a knowledge of the outrageous con duct of the commissioners in former telephone transaction, which I may al Jude to later on in my comments, as well as by the knowledge of two for mer contracts made by the commis- sioners, the one with the Birmin gham Waterworks company and the other with the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company, which were so outrageously unjust to the citizens oi the city that the people rose en masse and by public election rescinded and revoked.

Venizelos' resignation seems clear in stance of the reluctance to let unpleasant facts reach the public. The intelligence was sent from Athens in plenty of time but the people of this country were de- prived for many hours of news which was fully at the disposal of both their allies and their enemies.
 "The disposition to interfere with the circulation of news for the sake of the political effect. seems to find even more deplorable modes of expression than such weak and senseless measures of delay. The Times tells us that the censor struck out of one of it's dispatches words re- cording the high fighting qualities shown by the Germans against our recent ad- vance, while corresponding tributes to our own troops were not interfered with. This, perhaps, is the gravest, most shame ful charge that has been brought against those who hold the custody of public in fcrmation It is hard to distinguish it from virtual Justification"

AS RESULT OF MARION GAME DuCote and Harston Will Probably Be Out of Florida Game
 Saturday Otherwise Team in Good Shape

The line is rapidly rounding to form, though rain has interfered q great deal with practice this week. Last week the practice was devoted to developing nlaxs of the open" variety. and they were used with good effect against Marion. This week Dorahue is deveioping tho drive and charge which is usually characteristic Of an Auburn team.
 { Campbell is being developed as a substitute for Robinson and is com ing along nicely. Fricke seems to be just the man for right guard, as he has the necessary weight and Is becoming more aggressive. The tackles with Sample and Wynne are | we'll looked after. but both are ex- tremely light compared with the men | they shall have to go against. Pete

 | The Florida game. which will be
 played here Saturday, is looming up as something of "bGgaboo," as they | have the strongest team in their his- tory. and reports from their camp in-
 dicate that they are firmly convinced
 of their ability to smear it over Au-
 burn. Their team will probably out

 any considerable difference. If Hair | ston returns to the game Auburn
 should succeed in winning with few points to spare.

 "25. With revenues about half of that of other cities of same size and nearly all departments undermanned, the tax payers have received a dollars worth of service for every dollar of taxes ex- pended" E Not hardiy-let us not forget that the commission spent a great deal of the peo- ple's tax money in their campaigning for a bond issue to influence the people to vote for more bonds to further in- crea SC their taxes.
 However. that little pink circular failed to say anything about the commission CTS employing a corporation lawyer to lobby for their special bills in the re- cent legislature. Nor did that pink circu-
 lar state the fact that Birmingham re- ceived only 1k of 1 per cent of its reve-
 nue from the public utilities. while other cities in our class receive from 20 to 60 per cent of their revenues from like
 sources. No, but there are lots of other
 things the pink circular did not mention
 which the people yet remember. O. T. DOz1ER. Birmingham. october !. 1915.

The Horrors of War

This story was written by man of 70.
 veteran captain of the Franco Prussian { war.
 Is war so very horrible? Young soldiers
 seldom think so. I mean young men
 who have no other ties but father and
 mother. Reservists and landwehrmen
 who have families, their position is a diff
 ferent one. but when they hear the
 trumpet call, they go, perhaps with a
 heavy heart: nevertheless, they go to do
 their duty
 When the army gets molilized and war
 as declared, of they march to the field of
 honor, cheerfully as they would go to a
 picnic. Each one cheers the other up on
 his often dangerous errand. At first 1t
 is certainly hard for the young recruit,
 continuous marching day after day with
 heavy pack on his back, besides being
 loaded with necessary implements for use in the fiesld. He soon gets used to it,
 however, and he does not feel the bur
 den any longer, and onl ylooks forward to being brought face to face with the enemy.
 At last the morfent has arrived, the dance has begun. From a distance we heard the cannons roar, nearer and near CT we march to where our leaders lead us. and a wide plain opens to us where the advance guard is already engaged. We are on the battle line and the en- agreements become general. It is astonishing how these young men | fight fight for their lives and their country. You see no one waver, though his comrades may fall around him. On they go until the battle Is won or lost
 War 50 years ago was different from war carried on today. In former days battles were fought In the open field, the battle lines miles long, and fighting last | ing from the early morning until even l ing. as it was at Koniggratz on July ,. 1 1866 or at Worth, Wessenburg and Gravolette in 1870. The lives lost in those battles were appalling; soldiers at that | time had not the friendly shelter of the | trenches.
 l Today the loss of life Is great, but the l loss in the present war Is not as great in
 proportion to the number of men en- eaged as in 1866 and 1870
 1 Tn 1866 Prussia s army in the field was about 500,Oo0 officers and men to fight against Austria and the south German states In 1870 Germany marched against ! France with 412,0OO infantry. 47.S00 cavalry and 1630 guns, divided into three arms under the command of General Stein-- metz, Prince Frederick Charles and the crown prince of Prussia. Of course, the
 army was later augmented and swollen 1 to 1,250,OO0.
 l At the present time millions oppose l each other. Comparing the losses ir l killed and wounded in former wars with 1 ths present losses. we will find that the :, losses in former wars were by far great CT as the losses of the present day. Why! 1 Battles were fought in the open field trenches were not known.

Be seen IN ACTION HERE TOMORROW

In addition to Bresnahan as q
catcher the Cubs have the man who
10 conceded to be the best receiver
In the game. His nam is Jimmy

position behind the batter Archer
can whip the ball to any corner Of
the diamond with equal speed and
facility.

lege Of seeing them by Aocking to
the park in great numbers. The
fans here are the only ones who will
