"GRINGOo AGAIN

F IOil LLo DOSLOH I1GTdlu.
 The correspondent of the Herald who traces the Mexican use of "Gringo," as applied to Americans, back to the Green Grow the Grasses, O. that our troops are said to have sung during the Mexican war, is in line with many others who have written on this subject But the trouble with that interesting explanation is that 1t does not go back far enough Long before the Mexican war the very same term was in use in South America as a nickname for both Englishmen and Amer jeans. Travellers in both Chili and Peru tell of it many years before the soldiers of Scott and Taylor marched into Mexico City with their Green Crow songs.
 Scholars tell us that the word is found in old Spanish dictionaries as meaning "gibberish, and so was applied to for eigners whose tongue was not understood. In the same spirit the Greeks used the term "barbarian" for all foreigners-a term that meant 'babbler." Every race, our own not excepted. feels something akin to contempt for the person who speaks in an unknown tongue. And yet this older use of the word "Gringo" does not wholly upset the pretty tale of the Mexicans and the song of the northern soldiers. Perhaps they purposely made the pun, and applied the old word for "gibberish'' to the song and thus to the singers

Germany Looks Far Ahead

The immediate object of the batte of Euope with its ordinate offensive all fronts put Austria Hungary out the and thus incidentally cut Germany off also from Bull garia and Turkey the other allies of the central empires
 And the startling information that Germany poets to profit from dismembement of AusraHungary German newspapers point out that the separation of Hungary and Austria will naturally throw the German speak ing portions the Hapsurg empire into German hands It IS stirring outlook for the German imagination The empire would then extend through central Europe from the North the Adatc It would have outlet to the two sdes It would make the German empire greater by far than at the beginning of the war; though she is compelled the end to give up Belgium Poland and Alsace- Lorraine.
 But will the allies stop with simply cutting Austria Hungary out the assuming that the object the present offensive lis ultimately attained? The inference is natural that the intent overrunng the grain fields of Hungary indirect by the allies of trying by the starvation method to bring Ger to her knees The object yet long from attain men but the purpose plain. If the allies succeed 1t be assumed that they feel that further German expansion toward the Mediterranean will be subserved if Austria Hungary be forced out of the conflict
 And yet Germany looks far ahead It is easily conceivable that Russia might be able Hungary the east while the allies might be able to get foothod Austrian territory It would require than superman ore what the map Europe will look like when the great ends.

DAY DREAMS

From the New York Herald.
 If his views are as represented in a news dispatch from Baltimore, MT. The odore S. Raworth, a Georgia business man, has acquired the unique belief that solid south.' Mr. Raworth bases this as- sertion upon discovery that the business elements of the southern states are strongly for the republican candidate.
 Probably very many business men of the south would be republicans If local conditions permitted free expression of political opinion. It Is true also that not toward MT. Wilson. However, assump- ton that these conditions seriously jeo- pardize the "solidity'' of the south Is just about a foolish as is assumption on the part of those republican leaders up this way that MT. Hughes is going to have "a walkover" in November.
 It is safe to say that MT. Hughes is not indulging in any of these political day dreams. He must know that the election result is going to be determined. in the last analysis, by the great independent vote in states outside of the south.
 Independent voters care little about po- litical parties but much about efficiency in government. This has brought them to a good deal of thinking concerning some members of MT. Wilson's cabinet It will not hurt MT. Hughes to have this thinking continue, but would he not strengthen his cause by intimating that oI fod ho Ixyin ir,h i,,.t ,,<,t, men as MT Roosevelt, MT. Root and MT. Choate?

HINDENBURG's HOBBY

From the London Times.
 Marshal Von Hindenburg. who at the beginning of the war was overwhelmed with letters of congratulations on his victories, seems to be much engaged al present in correspondence about bee keeping.
 The newspapers publish a number o1 his historic epistles. In one of them he expresses to a schoolmaster his thanks for friendly advice on bee keeping anc for the present of a swarm of bees. IT another he thanks the wounded men 1T "Hindenburg hospital' for the present of bee hive and hopes that this gift will promote interest in bee keeping among the men in his armies and among the population of the occupied Russian territory.

Tribute for EIae

T greatly enjoyed a recent vacation trip through the east and into Canada ,'' said T. P. Patterson. bailiff of the cir cult court. Tn Toronto was especially struck with the general air of the peo- pie. Everyone appeared to be extreme ly busy and recruiting for the British army was progressing rapidly. The British flag f1oated from every residence and everyone was enthusiastic in their belief in the ultimate victory of Britain.
 The American Legions being organ ized in Canada appeared to be quite popular, and I observed that the re- cruiting stations were crowded.
 One thing that struck me in Buffalo was that when the band in theatre, or anywhere else one happened to be, began playing the national air every one within hearing distance stood at at tention with head uncovered. It strikes me that this Is a pretty tribute, and l think the practice should be more generally followed in the south. The Star Spangled Banner is wonderful spirit or forwardness. Our people of the south should not only stand at att tention while it is being played. but I believe everyone should uncover when in the presence of the stars and stripes. It certainly would make for patriot ism"

WAR IN THE JUNGLE

E. D. Slosson in the New York Inde- pendent
 The complaint that war has lost It's picturesqueness may be true of Europe, but it does not apply to the African campaign. Here nature provides the strongest contrasts of climate and con tour, and here primitive savagery Is allied with modern science in the art of destruction. This is the last of the worlds great game preserves. The ultimate survivors of tho grotesquc mammals of the Cenozoic era have found refuge in those forests and plains where they greet the shrapnels shriek with the moriturd salutation of roarings, bellowings and gruntings.
 Campaigning in German East Africa must seem like fighting in Hagenbeck' s menagerie Here Is recent dispatch from the front:
 General Shuts and his staff were held up by lions near Kilimanjaro, Ger man East Africa. They were obliged to SlL III IAOtOI CdAS dAA AASht III iiA D revolvers"
 The invaders have difficulty in keep ing up their lines of communication, for the giraffes break down the tele- graph wires by using them as neck ,scratchers, and the elephants pull up the poles out of pure mischief. As the troops on either side advance they drive into the enemys lines herds of wildebeests, gemsbok and springbok, elands and buffaloes. zebras and os- triches.
 The soldiers complain that they can not sleep because of the bowling of the jackals, the laughing of the hyenas and the grunting of the wild pigs. Naval combats on the lakes between the Brit ish and German motor boats are made extra hazardous by the crocodiles and hippopotami which lie in wait for the castaways.

CoRoNACH
By Scott.

By scott. He is gone on the mountain,
 He is lost to the forest. Like a summer-drted fountain,
 When our need was the sorest. The font reappearing
 From the raindrops shall borrow, But to us comes no cheering,
 To Duncan no morrow The hand of the reaper
 Takes the ears that are hoary, But the voice of the weeper
 Walls manhood in glory. The autumn winds rushing
 Wait the leaves that are searest But our flower was in flushing
 When blighting was nearest Fleet foot on the correi
 Sage counsel in cumber. Red hand in the forav.
 How sound is thy slumber! Like the dew on the mountain,
 Like the foam on the river, Like the bubble on the fountain.
 Thou art gone: and foreverl

A NAPOLEONIC NOTION

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 The great French military academy of St. Cyr, about which so much is heard <; these days, was, of course, founded by Napoleon. One of Napoleon's chief military difficulties was to obtain off, ce-s for his new armies, and it was mainly with view to overcoming this difficulty that he organized the great military college at St. Cyr-L' 'Ecole. He specially wanted to secure good cavalry leaders. and convinced of the necessity of such leaders being of good family he issued the curious instruction that those who fulfilled requirements in this respect should be examined with indulgence as regards knowledge of arithmetic and geometry"

GubernatoriaI Race

T have been very much surprised within the past few weeks to find the general interest the people of the state are taking in the gubernatorial race two years hence." said J. M. Kyser of Montgomery. member of the state con- vict board. who was here yesterday. "Everywhere I have been recently, l have found that question to be one of | the principal topics of discussion. The primary in 1918 does not occur until August, more than two years from now, yet the attention of the voters seems already to be turned in that direction. Many names are being discussed in connection with the governorship, and | it is generally conceded that Lieutenant Governor Thomas E. Kilby of Anniston l is certain to be in the race. Others who are mentioned as possible candidates are Judge w. w. Brandon and Walter l D. Seed of Tuscaloosa, former Gov. w. D. Jelks. Sydney J. Bowie and E. D. Smith of Birmingham. and many others are more or less discussed
 l MT. Kyser reports that everywhere he
 | has been great damage has been done to crops. On a plantation he owns in Wilcox county, several hundred acres
 of fine corn were inundated and abso- lutely ruined "The loss to crops in this
 state on account of the recent rains
 and floods will run into enormous fig- 1 ures," he said. "The people do not re- alize how great the losses are. for they
 were scattered over the state. This IS l the worst disaster our state has sui

 Many ambitious actors must have felt a pang of envy when they read that in the piece at the New Theatre Dion Bouci- cault has speech lasting nearly 20 min utes.
 Modern stagecraft does not provide for such large quantities of fat" in many instances. There has been nothing like this since "The Three Musketeers" at the Lyceum, when Lewis Waller used to hold the audience breathless with descrip- ton of the musketeers ride from Calais to Paris-and even that did not extend to 20 minutes.
