RECRUITING IN BRITAIN
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
King Georges Appeal and Execu-
ton of Miss Cavell Are Rea-
sons Assigned.

LONDON, October 2S.-There has been
Il great increase in recruiting through
out the country during the past week,
according to a number of newspapers.
The Manchester Guardian says re-
cruiting is now going on at a higher
rate than any reached since the early
months of the war King Georges
proclamation and the execution of Miss
Edith Cavell in Belgium both have been
the cause of bringing many into the
ranks. The increase, it is noted, is
despite the fact that Lord Derby's
scheme for calling men by sections,
drawing first the unmarried and those
not engaged in work connected with
military production, has not yet been
put into operation.
One of the chief obstacles confront
ing the authorities is the attitude of
many employers, who. instead of urg-
ing their men to Join the coiors, are
not only refusing to grant them allow
ances as was done in the earlier stages
of the war. but will not guarantee that
employees who enlist shall be rein
stated in their positions on their re-
turn. This matter is being investi-
gated by labor leaders, who probably
will make & report to Lord Derby.

Defending the GalIuses

Justice, somewhat belated, but none
the less emphatic, is at last about to
be melted out to the much despised
"gallus."
Comes now DR.. w. J. Mayo, world
famous surgeon of Rochester, Mimi,
with the statement that appendicitis
has increased from 800 to 400 per
cent because of the increased use of
belts instead of suspenders.
Time was when the average man
was as proud of new pair of sus-
penders as the old-time schoolboy
used to be of a pair of red-topped
boots. But along came a tyrant
named Fashion, decreeing that sus-
penders were bad form as part OF
up-to-date masculine toggery, and the
belt came into popularity as sub
stitute.

his consequent Endorsement of the
suspender is attracting much atten
ton not only in medical circles but

Bright Outlook for Summer


After the acute business depression
of last year, recovery has come earlier
than many bankers and Industrial
leaders had predicted.
That an era of genuine prosperity
has begun is now admitted by even the
most conservative observers. II
started months ago, but its progress
was slow until recently. April has
witnessed a rapid improvement in in.
dustrial operations and the outlook for
summer activity In all branches of bus.
mess Is bright indeed.
In the Birmingham district many of
the large plants will be operating at
full capacity within the next few
weeks. The railroads of the south,
which have felt the hard times as
much as any of the industrial COM
panies, more than some of them, are
now reporting increased gross earn
ings. On several of the lines both
freight and passenger traffic has i'm
proved very appreciably this month !;
and with the increase In railroad traf-
fic the coal trade and the iron trade
will be markedly benefited.
The railroad business Is a good ba-
rometer of general conditions and 1t
is safe to say that every interest In
the Birmingham district will enjoy a
substantial increase of prosperity
throughout the rest of this year. And
all of us will say, so mote it be!

learned that late planting is better
than early planting.
Last fall there was a consensus of
opinion that the smaller the crop the
better it would be for the farmer and
for the south in general. Bumper
crops were good for ordinary times
when prices were profitable, but they
brought about depression in war
times. Such was the reasoning of
everybody few months ago.
But the cotton market has improved
to such an extent that those who
have held a good percentage of their
staple are so optimistic that they will
endeavor to raise as much cotton this
year as they did last.
The crop diversification campaign
has been great thing for Alabama.
Reduced acreage was insisted upon.
One of the slogans has been, "Less
cotton and more of everything else."
But much cotton will be planted, and
while the 1915 crop will not be as
large by several million bales as that
of last year, which was a record
breaker, it will probably reach the
11,500,000 or $4,000, 00O-bale mark.

Nelson Was a Builder

eff must quit this world, want
to go with colors flying"
Thus spoke Col. William R. Nelson,
founder, editor and owner of the Kan
sas City Star, just before he died at
his home in Kansas City a few days
ago.
It was strictly typical of Colonel
Nelson to long for flying colors on
his journey to the great beyond, for
during his long, active and exception
ally useful career in Kansas City his
colors were always kept flying. Many
a battle for civic and moral uplift he
fought and won.
Colonel Nelson made the Star From
four-page, insignificant little sheet,
back in the sos the Star developed
into one of the foremost newspapers
of the United States. Every line of
it, every day in the week, every week
in the year, literally breathed the per-
sonality of Colonel Nelson. In fact,
Colonel Nelson was the Star and the
Star was Colonel Nelson.
Colonel Nelson was more than an
ordinary publisher. The Star was and
is more than an ordinary newspaper
it is teacher, leader, developer
and community guide to better
things in all the essentials of life.
Colonel Nelson is dead, but his spirit
will live on and on, his unseen hand
will continue to guide the Kansas City
Star.
Colonel Nelson's policy called for
concentration of energy upon the edi-
torial department of his newspaper.
1t was his theory to first of all make
the right kind of newspaper and
that having done so, the business
would automatically take care of it.
self. It is interesting to note, with
the passing of Colonel Nelson, that
the remarkable success of the Star
has proven the correctness of his
theory. Colonel Nelson's death is a
loss not only to Kansas City and the
tributary region, but to the whole
United States.
