 It may be long time before the United States has to defend itself against a powerful attack, but a req sonable degree of preparedness will make war less likely than if this coun- try continued wholly unprepared. And the best of it is Congress is wasting no time in responding to the admins tration's national defense recommen- dations. The army matter will be en- tirely disposed of before the naval measures are reported, probably some time in May, and while $500,000,- 900 five-year programme will be sure to arouse debate, it is reasonable to expect that Congress will have com pleted it's preparedness legislation by July.

actively for delivery during the first half of 1917 in several districts, and one good sized sale of foundry iron is reported for delivery into 1918. Foun- dry coke contracts for delivery July l, 1916, to July l, 1917, were closed as early as the opening weeks in Febru- ary and this contracting has gained such impetus that producers are be- ginning to raise prices further.
 While a few advances in the price of pig iron were. made during the week, surprise is expressed that more have not been made in the face of the continued active demand. This hes itancy appears to be due to the fact that there is not yet an acute short age of pig iron. The very rapidly in- cleasing domestic demand for steel and cast iron, added to the constant de- mand from abroad, is decreasing the stocks of pig iron throughout the coun- try, so it is thought that a shortage Is a real possibility and that when it comes iron will reach unprecedented heights"

Real Estate Exhibit

The Birmingham Real Estate ex- change has assembled for the ispec- tion of visiting real estate men to- morrow highly interesting exhibit of Birmingham and Alabama. This eX- hibit is located at the Tutwiler and is entitled to visit by every citizen of Birmingham because of it's educational value.
 A large relief map shows the loca- tion, height and contour of every acre of land in the district. Another artistic plat shows Fairfield in miniature. A black belt exhibit contains specimens of soil and products of this rich Ala bama section. Striking drawings show the water power possibilities of the state and a specimen of the first cleo tric steel ever made in the south is shown.
 Individual real estate dealers have contributed informative maps, photo graphs and data about their proper ties, and the whole constitutes a dis play from which any citizen can se- cure profitable information.

The Ad Writer

Advertising within the past few veors has become an art. The modern advertising expert is apt to be quite as familiar with the classics as the average professional man, and per haps more so. It no longer suftlces to say that John Jones has the cheapest goods in town and it will pay the pros pective purchaser to investigate the truth of his claims.
 With remarkable skill and clever ness the ad writer first endeavors to arrest public attention, and once that is accomplished, he presents his case in what is frequetly a fine literary style. In fact the written word, as used nowadays by the most successful advertising men, is superior to the slipshod English that appears in many popular novels.

"LIFE'S LITTLE IRONIEs"

From the Kansas City Star.
 The story of Frank Clayton, whose legacy proved ephemeral, reminds one of a ''Wessex Tale" It is typical Thomas Hardy touch of realism.
 Clayton is an actor that William Faver- sham calls good" He has few un- fortunate habits. He falls professionally. When his former friend seeks him out, he has just left the municipal farm. Learning of an inheritance of $S0,0O0, he resolves to begin anew. Then (and here is the perverseness of circumstance that impresses Hardy, and seeps inevitably into his novels and stories) the inheri- tance fades to $70O Clayton, two days later, is taken to the general hospital. The doctors say it is acute alcoholism
 Of course, you have your own pet the ory of it. Perhaps you call fit heredity or the social system or that peculiar psy- chological trait called lack of will pow er."
 But Thomas Hardy would scoff at your theories. It's fate, he would say That's all. For
 Like flies to wanton boys are we to the
 gods;
 They kill us for their sport

Reunion Hotel Rates

The Birmingham Chamber of Com
 merce committee on finance for the
 Confederate reunion becomes a bit nervous now and then as to the out. come in the greatest event in the his | tory of the south.
 There is no reason for thinking that the finance committee will be short of funds, Eight years ago the Con- federate reunion was held in Birming- ham and 1t was one of the most bril- liant and one of the most enjoyable ever held in the south The commit tee appointed to raise the money nee essary for entertaining the reunion worked diligently, but before the re- union dates it was feared that there might be a deficiency. Philosophical citizens then subscribed double the amount of the funds in hand.
 And so it will be this time. The Chamber of Commerce fixed $25, 1000 as the amount to be raised for the re- union. There is not broad-minded citizen of Birmingham today that does not rejoice in the coming of the re- union in May; and whatever the amount required for the entertain ment of the old vets and the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy will be promptly and whole-heartedly pledged.
 But the best feature of the reunion from local viewpoint is the assur- ance on the part of Eugene L. Brown and his committee that hotel rates will not be showed up above normal. On the occasion of most big conven- tions the. hotels "figure" a harvest and make their schedule of rates ac- cordingly.
 But in Birmingham May 16, IF and IS hotel rates will be the same as they are today. And in this connection it will be of interest to remark that Bir- mingham has nine or ten more hotels than it had in 1908 when the last re- union was held here.

The Predicament of Greece

One of the most vulnerable coun- tries on the globe and by no means the strongest, Greece has been com pelled to play humiliating role in the present war. Her neutrality is a mere figure of speech, despite the fact that Greece has every reason to remain strictly neutral. She is proba- ply more at the mercy of the allies than of Germany, although menaced by the Teutons through their Balkan allies, who may yet demand reckon ing from the unhappy kingdom.
 Richard Harding Davis contributes to the April Scribner an amusing ac- count of the quandary in which Greece finds herself and in which she bids | fair to continue until the situation in the Balkans is radically changed. Be- fore the allies returned to Saloniki, says MT. Davis, there were between that port and the Servian front 110,- 900 French and 6O,oO0 British troops. At Saloniki both armies were under the local Greek authorities, but this of course, meant nothing whatever. It gave the harassed Constantine at least shadow of neutrality to hide behind, although the Kaiser could not be de- ceived by any such pretense.
 If the allies administer a decisive defeat to Germany--one that will put an effective end to her dream of world power-Greece may have no cause to regret the equivocal position in which she is placed, except for the blow to her pride, and should certainly be en- titled to some recompense for the aid she has given the allies, even though l it was much against her will.

sTOPFORD BROOKE

From the Boston Herald.
 English literature has lost one of it's most notable figures by the passing or Stopford Augustus Brooke, The brilliant young Irish scholar who left Trinity col lege Dublin, with the prizes for divinity and English verse, fulfilled the prom ise of his youth. Ordained to the An glican ministry at the age of 25, his char acter and ability, were quickly recognized and his preferment to London benefices was rapid. After a time at Berlin as chaplain to Empress Frederick (the Eng fish Princess RoyaD, he returned to Lon don, where his sermons, at once rich Tn thought and graceful in literary form, soon made him one of the most attractive and influential preachers. For five years he had been chaplain to Queen Victoria and was evidently marked for advance ment to bishopric when, in 1880, he se- ceded from the Church of England be- cause of conscientious agreement with the Unitarian position on certain matters of theology. He made his sacrifice, but, It may be doubted if he sacrificed a friend He was so gentle and lovable, so truly an apostle of sweetness and light, that none could quarrel with him. In the literary world he had already won a place with his biography of F. w. Robertson. his thoughtful little book on theology in Eng fish poets, and his primer of English lit erature; and thereafter he increased his reputation by his two histories of Eng fish literature and his studies of Tenny- son, Milton, Browning, Shakespeare and of hi 1,yy,,n nc are known in every church. Stopford Brooke was essentially man of letters, with a natural perception of the beauti- ful and the true. and the gift of a fine spiritual sympathy. All who ever met him felt the charm of his companionship, and after his S4 years of life it may be said that those who knew him best loved l,;,,, ,,oct

LEARN AS A CLASSICIST

French romanticism. Rather than that
 let us award him distinction as founder
 and leader of new school. sui generis. | Probably nothing to do with this is the ] fact that Hearn was a Greek-Irishman,
 born of a Greek woman of Chirigo, in the Ionian Islands. He was young and unlettered when his father, a surgeon in the British army, took him to Ireland. He did not absorb the spirit of expression of the largest truth in the most direct and frank way" from his mother and place of nativity.
 It was by the hardest kind of study In this country based upon some education in Europe; by constant and reckless use of eyes at times threatened with total blindness, always under the whip and spur of ambition, that he brought himself to that wonderful command of words, that magic of the pen, to which many of us yielded ready and delighted thralldom- He won us in the days of his youth as a writer for newspapers in Cincinnati and New Orleans, and he held us as contribu- tor to magazines from tho West Indies, and, finally, as author of many books written in Japan, where, while a professor of literature, he became Y. Kozumi by adoption into his wifes family, and where his body is buried.
 Melancholy myopic Hearn, restless ad- venturer in the squalor of daily life. but luxuriously basking in the bright places of literature, devoted student and pro-
 ducer of delightful reading! Those of us
 who have bathed in the light and perfume of your splendid imagery may readily call your work classic.

Julia s. TutMiler

Miss Julia s. Tutwiler, who died yesterday in Birmingham, was one of the south's great women. During a long and useful life she labored most for the cause of education, but she was in the fullest sense of the word a humanitarian whose influence ex- tended far beyond the halls of the Livingston Normal school, whose des- tinies she directed for many years. She assisted materially hundreds of young women struggling for an edu- cation, she was a friend to the con- vict and in fact to the needy and suf- fering wherever found
 Miss Tutwiler was greatly honored in Alabama, where she had been a conspicuous figure for many years, but she had indeed national reputa- tion. Her studies both in various parts of the United States and abroad increased the powers of a naturally brilliant mind. As some of her poems and other writings indicate, she had the literary gift, along with the keen, searching intelligence of the ideal teacher, constructive ability and which made her universally beloved.
