Encouraging the Stork

That versatile man, the German Elm peror, who finds nothing that concerns his people too trivial or too great to engage his paternal attention, has far surpassed our own T. R. in offering en- couragement to the stork. Colonel Roosevelt did a great deal to popular ize the bird in this country and it came to be looked on as almost as in- separable from him as the shy peace dove is from MT. Bryan. However Colonel Roosevelt was merely Presi- dent of the United States and his powers were somewhat less limited than those of the Kaiser
 In order to boost the birth statistics in Germany, Emperor William an nounces that he will be godfather not only to the seventh and eighth sons born in succession, but also the sev- enth, eighth and ninth sons born with a daughter or daughters intervening. Here is an opportunity for parents to enjoy the distinguished services of their Kaiser at innumerable christen- ings, the more. presumably, the mer- rier, although the Germans are such an obedient lot that the Kaiser is apt to find more engagements of this sort than he can attend to.
 In case the stork responds readily to the invitation of the Kaiser and candidates become too numerous, it may be that some other member of the royal family, the crown prince, for instance, will share the burden of god fathering a constantly increasing crop of sons.
 The Kaiser knows what he is up to. The more boys there are in Germany, the more soldiers there will be for his armies. The stork in Europe has come to have a sinister significance. Boy babies are potential cannon fodder"

Barber Succeeds Lane

Tomorrow Arlie Barber will succeed Judge A. o. Lane as commissioner of public justice of the city of Birming- ham.
 Judge Lane retires after having writ ten his name high on the local roll of fame. He was great practitioner at the bar He proved himself to be a splendid executive officer when he was mayor of Birmingham. He was a splendid circuit judge-one with whom the desire that justice be meted out impartially was passion. As a com missioner he was faithful, hard work ing, efficient and above all. merciful.
 MT. Barber is young man. He ie yirile and vigorous, and anxious to serve, He is aggressive. He will. it is very probable, prove himself to be ef- ficient.
 The Age-Herald is confident that MT. Barber will disappoint those of his political enemies who, during the cam paign, took an apparent delight in prodding him with the finger of rid icule, and stinging him with the tongue of unlindness.
 It is evident that he appreciates the fact that his future will be of his own making. That he will prove to be highly efficient is the desire of this newspaper.

What Is the Difference?

The old view of the atonement wrought by Christ was that man by his sin deserved death; that this pun ishment must be visited either on man or on some substitute; that Christ took mans place, and thereby satis- fled the justice of God, by rendering to Him the equivalent of mans eternal death.
 This was not the first theory ad- vanced as to how Christ saved men, but it was the most reasonable up to that time. Another theory is now find ing acceptance among a great many wise and good men. Indeed Mir. F. w. Beecher, clergyman in the Episcopal church and gentleman, who for years has been in close touch with Protest ant thinking, has recently said in the public prints that only one denomina- tion in his knowledge would exclude a minister for holding this newer view. Other prominent men of several churches have made similar state ments. One minister said there were not fifteen men in his denomination who now held the old theory.
 The new view is difficult of state- mept, nor can any man state it fully; for the more we deal with God the more we realize that He refuses to be imprisoned within mere human words.
 Christ came into the world as a revelation of the holiness and the love of God. He came as God Himself to win back . shining world. He came to make men hate their sins and realize the terrific cost of transgressing Gods
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-31

suddenly to become heir to millions, as because he has found parents who will rear him lovingly and teach him to wisely administer the fortune that will be his, and to estimate wealth at it's true value, in comparison with other considerations in life.
 Helen Gould Shepard has stood as a model of American womanhood, her benefactions being as broad as her sympathy is deep.
 The adoption of child by this wom- an of wealth has created much sur prised comment. But, after all, in the light of Helen Gould Shepard's warm hearted womanliness, isn't that just what she should be expected to-do?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-31

law. He came to win men to a love o1 holiness as seen in Himself. And He came to reveal to us that God loved us with mighty love and longed for reconciliation; that if we would only come to Him with repentance He would freely forgive. The old view emphasizes the justice, the new the love of God. It is written, God is love, not God is justice. It is written, God so loved the world, not God was so just.
 The old view speaks of reconciling God to man, the new of reconciling man to God.
 The old view looks on God as judge, the new embracing God as Father.
 The old view is, through the spec tacles of the middle ages, when men were hard; the new is through the spectacles of now, when men have grown tenderer.
 The old view propitiates God by the sight of bloody victim, the new pro- pitiates God by the repentance of sin ming man.
 The old view pictures God as me dieval king who demands blood; the new pictures man as a sinner whom only blood will call back.
 The old view has no analogies in the present world, the new has an analogy wherever there is unselfish sacrifice.
 The old view proceeds on a concep- tion of law that the criminal must be punished, that an eye must pay for an eye. The new view proceeds on con- ception of law that the criminal must be reformed. Which now is more near ly in keeping with the ultimate con-. ception of law? In either case society must be duly warned, but in either case it is done by the sufferings of Christ and the abiding scars of sin.
 The old view, it seems to me, sees the Bible through glass darkly, the new face to face.
 But be it understood that we would quarrel with no man for not accepting our view. We asked only the privilege of holding it ourselves.
 Be it also remembered that theories about Christ may change with chang ing years, but that He is the same yesterday, today and forever; it is not the theory that saves but Christ Him. self

Navy to Build AerOplane

Secretary Daniels has signed orders for the construction at the Washing ton navy yard of powerful aeroplane which will rival the giant aircraft of France and will be the first aeroplane built by the government. Experts in the navy department have been work ing for months on the designs of bi- plane that will be exceptionally speedy and powerful. This work has been done under the direction of the bureaus of construction and repair and of steam engineering Naval Constructor H. C.. Richardson, who is a qualified air pilot and close student of aeronautics, has had immediate charge of the details.
 The new aeroplane will carry abou. 2200 pounds, with speed of from 50 to 80 miles an hour, and maximum range of seven hours at full speed. It will be equipped with two 160-horse power motors and special three-inch guns are contemplated. The total weight carried will be made up of pas sengers, fuel and weapons. It is thought that the new craft will be ca pablo of doing long range scouting over broad field and making a rapid ascent for the conveyance of eXplo- sives. It will not be quite as large as the fighting aircraft used by the French so successfully, but will ap- proximate the type both in size and effectiveness.
 The United States government has been deplorably backward in develop ing an arm of the military service which the war in Europe has proved to be of incalculable value. For fighting purposes the aeroplane is still more pr less of an experiment, although it has done efficient service of this kind, but for reconnaissance it far surpasses my other device used in modern war fare. European nations have developed their aerial craft to point which leaves the United States far behind. In fact, we have done almost nothing h this particular field, although Americans were the first to develop practical, heavier-than-air flying ma chimes.
 However, the army and navy depart- ments are waking up and their present activity is encouraging.

"A Child Shall Lead Them"

~John Doe No. 1O4," they call him at the "home."
 Now he is Finley Jay Shepard, Jr., adopted son of Mrs. Helen Gould Shepard. Two years ago a winsome little boy was found on the steps of St. Patrick's cathedral in New York city. The infant was sent to St. Chris toLher's home at Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.
 There the child remained and at tracted the attention of Mrs. Shepard, who frequently visits the home. Final ly, last February, she decided to take the little 5-year-old to the Shepard home for a visit. About the time the visit was drawing to a close the lad was taken ill with chickenpox and had to remain. By the time he had recov- cred Mrs. Shepard and her husband, Finley J. Shepard, an official of the Missouri Pacific railway, had decided they could not give the boy up. So, promptly they adopted him.
 "He is such a dear!" Mrs. Shepard b quoted as saying in recently pub tished interview. "He is such manly little fellow. We took him because he is. such lovable, teachable boy and because we have a big place up at Irvington and it seems to me every time look around that children should bo running over it all the time."

NEW YORK OF THE FUTURE

In the November Popular Science Monthly and Worlds Advance appears an attractive description Of the New York of the future This article. based on a re- port by a prominent engineer, says:
 Apartments will be lighted by elec- tricity. Heating and cooking will be done with inexpensive gas. Interborough mail will travel through pneumatic tubes. Gar bage and ashes will be conveyed swiftly through pipes in the ground High-pres- sure water mains will protect the city against fire, and pure drinking water will be brought from the mountains through the CatslSill aqueduct. Central refrigerat- ing plants will pipe cold air to refrigerat- ors and. not least in importance from under the streets will come telephone wires which play so important part in everyday life Much of this is already accomplished, and the remainder is by no means an idle prophecy.

Busiest Town: in the south


 Birmingham is now the busiest and altogether the most prosperous town in the south. as far as my observation goes, and have recently visited near ly all the larger class of cities" said R. S. Mccardle of Philadelphia.

 "optimists said that business in this country would soon adjust itself to the conditions precipitated by the Flu ropean war; but I doubt if any prophet Of better times hoped to see business recover as rapidly as it did.
 "A marked improvement was in evil dence early in the spring and with summer came bumper grain crops and big prices and prosperity. The wheels of industry were soon going at full clip The pay rolls have increased rap idly since August and every iron and steel center is boom

 He was young and handsome, an excellent dancer and always dressed to the minute. The women were only too glad to get the chance to dance with him. and he made many appoint ments of which their husbands or parents at home knew nothing. He did things on an elegant scale, and would escort his admiring dance part ner home each night, using a taxi of course.
 At the door he would take the night key of the lady and open for her. Gem erally there would be chat on the front stoop, and at it's close the admir- able dancer would depart. taking the key with him. If the robbery of the house promised good loot and the lady was thoughtful enough to ask for her key he would return 1t. but on the next night of appointment he would make a quick impression of the key In soft wax.
 Tn evening clothes and opera hat this burglar-dancer would ride up to the house in taxi in the early hours of the morning. and before the very eyes of the cop on the beat enter the house and proceed about his business of collecting the family silver and cash. He robbed dozen and more houses and apartments in the Westside be- fore he was trapped He put up fight and was shot twice before he surren- dered.
