Greece Between Fires.

Greece Between fires.
London, Jan. 2S.-The fact that the
Rome censor passed the dispatch of
United Staff Correspondent Wood at
Rome, indicating Italy's decision to
risk Austrian occupation not alone of
Montenegro but of the entire Adriatie
seacoast as far as Avlona, caused as
tonishment here today.
The dispatch is considered one Of the
most important coming from Rome
since the Balkan struggle began, mas
much as it contained the first intima-
tion Of the course that Italy intends
TO pursue.
With the central powers forces
massed on the Albanian.G frontier,
King Constantine will be threatened
with attack along all his northern
border. This fact might influence his
decision on important diplomatic ques-
tions, and turn the scale one way or
the other regarding an open alliance
with the entente or central allies.

"sIx FOR THE FEET~'

 From the Chicago Herald
 'six for the feet" yelled William the waiter
 Coming up,' came the echo from the kitchen.
 smilingly, Jean the chef placed half a dozen hard, inedibles objects in the oven. Thirty minutes later he opened the door and, wetting forefinger, tapped one of them. There was sizzle and a little puff of steam.
 Done to a turn,' he unused.
 The front door opened and six merry misses from the Monroe telephone ex- change entered the restaurant.
 William disappeared in the rear and re-entered, struggling with heavily laden tray, broad grin on his, face, which was red with exertion.
 Beneath each small table he placed two hot bricks, which chased the chills from neat feet resting comfortably upon them.
 Some service,'' said the owners of these extremities, beaming thanks.
 Williams grin grew, and his whistling would have drawn caustic comment from Jean-if Jean hadn't been whistling himself

"The Christmas spirit seems to have been into the bones of everyone this year." said Guy Redden, assistant solic- itor of the Ninth judicial district, who was at the Burt yesterday. "The condi- tions throughout the United States are so much better than they were year ago there is reason for rejoicing
 "One cannot help but think how lucky this country is in comparison to the bel lgerent European nations, who are daily seeking one another's blood on the bat tIefield. I suppose the opposing armies will declare a sort of informal truce on Christmas day, so that they may enjoy a brief respite from the smoke of battle. Of all the things this country should be thankful for, it is peace"

The lad who uses curling iron on his mustache always thinks it funny that a girl should want to powder her nose every now and then.
 A wagon makes most noise when it is empty. But a man makes most noise when he is full.
 This will make the princesses laugh. But the way things look now, they had better quit fooling with the chafing dish and learn how to make brown gravy and cornbread if they expect to cook for their husbands after they get married.
 Of course it is none of our business, but We can't help reflecting that the term, dressing a chicken" has taken on new meaning in the past 10 years.

OFFICE BOYS RISE

From the Chicago Herald Thirty years ago a boy was given a minor position with the N. K. Fairbanl1 company. He was tireless and from the first took as much interest in the business as If he owned it. It has since been said
 that the only time he ever was heard to complain was when they wouldn't let him work 12 hours a day That boy was Joseph Dixon Lewis His rise was rapid. He went from one job to
 another, always higher twill he never stop?" his friends asked, and the reply came in promotion after promotion.
 He finally was elected vice president and general manager of the concern, in which position he achieved such success that recently he was unanimously chosen the president of the corporation in which he started as an office boy. He also was made president of the
 American Cotton Oil company and the
 Union Seed and Fertilizer company, sub- salaries of the Fairbank company. The capitalization of the three companies az gregates s150,0000O0.
 1 Asked his recipe for success, MT. Lewis said: "Eise early, work late, play hard, be merry, don't worry and be good"

PASSING OF INAUGURAL BALL

From the New York World.
 Once again a President of the United States is to be ,inaugurated without the ceremonial accompaniment of an inaugu- ral ball, but as to whether the omission involves any serious social loss is an open question.
 No doubt at an earlier day in the his tory of the Republic, when inaugurations and everything else were on smaller scale, the ball formed fitting enough link in the ceremonies inducting a new
 President into office. It was a function which made an especial appeal to Wash ington trade interests. But what essen tial relation an inaugural ball has borne recently, under the new and expanded order of things, to an inauguration has not been apparent. Except that it at tracted a crowd and offered exceptional facilities for women to have their gowns torn and for men to be spattered with salad dressing, it was without distinctive character. There was not even the satis.
 faction of dancing under federal auspices with the government acting as host to the governed.
 If precedents count for anything in the
 matter, the inaugural ball has probably
 now passed into history. It was long a national institution, a quadrennial cele. | bration of a combined social and pa | triotic rite. but it has passed with the growth of the country and with the pass
 ing of the sentiment which sustained

Amnsed at outbreal1

John Sarver, a wel-known tonsorial art ist, stated yesterday that he was very much amused at the talk inspired by the aldermanic form of government. Naturally, I cannot be quoted on either side,'' said MT. Sarver, "as in business there are adherents of all political ques- tions and I could not afford to air my views promiscuously. However, from the prominent men who sit in my chair and who freely criticize the existing state of affairs at the city hall, it is easy to un- derstand that there must be something wrong. Personally, I have no preference for either the city commission or the al- dermanic system, as it is my impression that the people will be done good either way, and the taxpayers will have to bear the freight. However, it is amusing to hear folks talk"

] ~RESIDENT WILSON and Secretary IU Lansing are apparently lacking a bit in team work
 Secretary Lansing seems to have made bad error in attempting to explain the Presidents recent note to the warning na- tions in Europe.
 The Presidents note was very plain and written in a characteristic style, which could not be misunderstood. At the same time, Secretary Lansing. in attempting to explain what the Pres ident meant, came very near getting this government into serious foreign compli- cations.
 The Secretary apparently acted without conference with the President.
 Secretary Lansing attempted the same thing when the President made his speech The President is apparently impulsive at times and does err occasionally. But it would be we'll before the Secretary of State attempts to define the meaning of the Presidents messages in the future, for him to have a personal conference with MT. Wilson.
 MT. Bryan, as Secretary of State, erred at one time; Secretary Blaine did like wise, and such occurrences have been more or less frequent in the history of the American government.
 However, this matter has been ex- plained, and the allies now understand this governments position. Germany also understands it. So. there will be no harm resulting.
 <
 The indications are that the European war will continue until there is definite victory on one side or the other.
 Either the British nation will be dis membered or Germany will become sec ondary power in future. The result must be as clear as that which occurred in this country in 1865 when the confederacy

Health of City Good

with the exception of the recorder s court and the public library, no other branch of the city offices will be open Christmas" said Commissioner Ward yes terday. The first session of the commis- sion will be next Tuesday morning.
 Birmingham has much to rejoice over this year, despite the agitation about commission government. The health of the city was never better and, with F1e added appropriation for this branch of the city's service, Birmingham will soon have a unique record for health. While the finances of the city are not in tho best of shape. owing to the numerous handicaps that have been thrown in the way, it is, nevertheless, living within its income and making steady progress each day"

MANNERS OF AUDIENCES

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 MT.

Those who have attended the recitals of the first of pian- ists should know by this time that he is sensitive to extraneous influences. But is he to blame?

Jim Davis Is Worried

James Davis, assistant solicitor, was evidently worried last night at the man ner in which the prisoners at the county jail would spend their Christmas.
 You know" said MT. Davis, "a man is a monkey to commit a crime that will keep him in jail during the Christmas holidays. Just think of the bunch that's in the 'hows-gow' at the present time, and just imagine their mental state as they sit in their cells today, contemplat- ing that everyone with enough money is celebrating Christmas with good cheer, while they are inside in the midst of vermin, iron bars and bitterness of heart It sure must be tough on the prisoners and it worries me to think of those poor boobs behind the bars"

Christmas Shopping Heavy

"The late Christmas shopper probably wished that he had adopted the shop early slogan" said B. H. Mooney. 1T was in one or two stores yesterday, and have never seen such crowds of shop pers. There was constant stream of people going into and another coming out all the time. I understand that shop ping has been heavy for several weeks and that the shop early slogan was more closely adhered to this year than ever before. If this is the case Birmingham must have spent some money for her Christmas I don't believe anybody can have the heart to say hard times again after the demonstration of prosperity that has taken place."

Yet many nowadays think it makes no difference if they arrive late and with noise, depart early with more noise, slam ming doors or holding them open for drafts and distracting lights and echoes, and in the meantime converse and are as fussy as they please, when the argument in speech or in music is something that the thoughtful majority desire to consider without disturbance. When one on the platform makes stand for the dignity of his art he is also defending the peace of mind of all who are before him. However desirable courtesy may be in private. in public it becomes indispensable. Those who obtrude their own lack of good man. pers and thus inflict their minority selfishness upon the long-suffering ma jority deserve the censure, and the vic- tims of their misbehavior are glad when any has the courage to read them the sorely needed lesson in department.

INNER BRIGHTNESS.

What rare and radiant vision Delights the secret soul Of that disfavored brother
 Who pays a bitter toll To fate, yet still keeps smiling His weary journey through? We have no way of knowing, And yet, it must be true That hope paints fairer pictures Than life's dull round reveals, And quickened aspiration
 His wounded spirit heals.
