ALABAMA GUARDSMEN PROVE
 REVELATION TO WHOLE STATE
With Wearing Off of Rough Places the Boys Real Soldiers Parade of Alabama Brigade One of Inspiring Sights Ever Wit messed in Alabama

Montgomery. July S.--(Special)-The
 Alabama brigade is rapidly being ham | mered into shape. The several regiments
 batteries and corps are beginning to lose
 their amateurish appearance and to look
 more like the real thing. The officers
 and men are rapidly getting used to their duties and responsibilities and are get thing to be something of the nature of soldiers.
 To say that they are really soldiers
 this early in the game would be the
 rankest flattery. No one who knows any
 thing of the matter whatever would be
 foolish enough to claim that soldiers can
 be made in a week. No one could ex- pect such thing, and certainly no one in this camp does expect it. But the
 Alabama brigade is making soldiers
 about as fast as could be expected, and
 that is enough to satisfy anyone.
 The difficulties in the way of getting
 ready for the field have. been many and
 various, but they are just exactly what
 the wise ones have been predicting for years. To the man in the street it seems a simple matter to call few regiments into being, and to send them on campaign with a days notice. But to those earn est ones who have toiled in the National Guard all these years for the mere pleas ure of toiling, and for the love of the game, know better and are not surprised. They are now seeing their predictions | coming true.
 STRIVING FOR YEARS
 1 For years a few of us have been striv- | ing, by every means in our power, to put the guard on a firm foundation and to get it ready for the call. The amount of encouragement received has been hard | ly large enough to attract notice. The amount of discourageme and opposition and ridicule encountered has been noun tain high It is a wonder to all the knowing ones that the guard has lived at all Surely a thing that clings to l life in the face of adverse circumstances as long as the Alabama National Guard

!, cers can possibly do so. Many unfortu- mates are being rejected for various ail- ments, for only those who are in perfect l physical condition will be accepted. The | chief cause of rejection seems to be lack
 of the required weight. Many otherwise strong and hearty men cannot tip the scales at 120 pounds, and these are almost
 invariably rejected. Many go down pe- cause of defective eyesight and a few from bad hearts.
 The boys are being gradually put into | uniform and as a consequence they are losing something of their outlandish ap- pearance There are not so many weird combinations of civilian clothes and uni forms. When the new equipment is is-
 sued we will have fairly decent look
 ing bunch of soldiers.
 PARADE ON FOURTH
 The Fourth of July parade was some- i thing for the boys to remember for a long time. It was the first time most of us had ever seen a brigade together, and few realized just what a big crowd | 5000 men can make. The brigade turned | out, taking only the uniformed and fairly | W ell drilled men along The average in- 1 fantry company was trimmed down about | 50 men. The Fourth infantry, not finding | sufficient transportation at hand, hiked 1 all the way to town, went through the ! parade and then hiked back to camp. As | one of the boys expressed it, i've marched right in and turned around and marched | right out again.
 | It was a blistering hot day, but the boys stood 1t without trouble. To the | onlookers it must have been an inspiring | sight As the companies swung into ! Dexter avenue, marching toward the cap- l itol it seemed as if the whole street was choked with marching men in olive | drab. Each regiment hiked back to camp 1 as best it could, the Fighting Fourth" /" l in spite of the four miles 1t had already covered, doing it's other four back to camp as spry as the rest Thus the reg- ment, though made up of unseasoned | troops, covered some to 10 miles in the l heat and the dust, and came in smiling Surely there is good stuff in these young fellows.

Port in England Means
 Wine From Portugal

London. June 25.--Hereafter the term port" without any other qualifica- tion, can be applied legally in this country only to a particular brand of wine certified by the Portuguese gov ernmen to be the genuine product of the Douro region and exported from Oporto. The Portuguese government would not ratify the commercial treaty signed at Lisbon in August. 1914, unless their definition of port wine. were ac cepted and the British government, wishing to conciliate Portugal. agreed.
 Of course. other kinds of port wild not be excluded from the British mar ket But the designation will have to be qualified by the name of the coun- try of their origin, such as "Californ- ian" port, Australian" port. Algerian" port, and so on.
 Apart from the considerations O. commerce" comments the Lancet "the new measure is a good one. By a prop CT extension of accurate definition it encourages the principle of honest trading"

necessarily follow from one construo- tion, that fact is strong to show that such construction is not according to the true intention of the grantor. Jus tice Vaughn once said. Where the law is doubtful and not clear. the judges ought to interpret the law to be as is most consonant to equity and least in- convenient" Sir E. Coke went so far as to say, "Nihil quad est inconven- iens est lcctum."
 In the celebrated English case of Pike vs. Hoave. ? Eden 184, the court said: This argument ab inconven- ienti, moreover. is. under many circum- stances valid to the extent that the law will sooner suffer private mis- chief than a public inconvenience"
 President George Ward has already published to the citizens of BirnMng- ham, to the citys bondholders and to the world at large what must happen should the above question be decided adversely to Birmingham
 The lay mind of Birmingham has framed the question a little differently. It is asking: Shall, not only the con- venience. but the life itself of the city be preserved. or shall the whim of one individual be subserved?"

MCDONALD VS. BIRMINGHAM
By G. LEWIS BAILEs

In the very nature of the case, more outcome of Birmingham's injunction suit than has been manifested in any single legal question that has arisen perhaps in the city's history.
 Commissioner Hornady has aroused the people of the city and brought them face to face with the problem of physical equipment for the public school system. Dr. Cunningham's res gnation, and it's attending circum stances together with the present ty phoid fever epidemic. has forcefully shown the crying need for money to be spent in improving the citys sani tation and hygiene. City Attorney M M. Ullman has electrified the thinking contingent of the local citizenship by a remarkable recital of retrenchment measures that have already been made necessary in all departments of the city's government.
 The attitude of the electorate and it's hope for a remedy for the situa- tion were abundantly expressed by the vote cast on June authorizing the S3,000, 900 bond issue which one dis gruntled citizen now seeks to enjoin
 To enjoin or not to enioin-that is the question. The older members of the bar remember an ancient and time honored maxim of the law which they believe the court will give great weight in resolving the above question, viz "Argumentum ab inconvenienti valet in lege," which being interpreted is, an argument from inconvenience is forci- ble in the law.
 For instance, if there be in a deed or other written instrument euuivocal eX- pressions and great inconvenience must

of dust in it's passage from bakery to shop?
 We need not discuss the cleanliness of the hands of those who do handle the loaf, or even the gloves of the driver as he passes from reins to loaf; but we are wondering why our city officials do not see to it that the bread that is served to the public be wrapped in oiled pa per IS it is taken from the ovens. I'm agine the relief of the housewife as she unwraps it and prepares it for her fam fly. As far as I know, only two brands of bread in Birmingham are so wrappec. Is not this a matter worth the attention of those interested and of those in position to see that every possible safe- guard is exercised at this time when many lives are being needlessly sacrificed to this terrible plague that has thrust itself within our borders?

WAR EVENTS OF THE WEEK
By EDWARD G. MAKAY

forced into the open country and per haps then a decisive battle will take place, when infantry will contend OH even terms without the aid of concrete trenches and dugouts from the compara. tive safety of which a few machine guns can break up an entire infantry attack
 With these great offensves progressing successfully and apparently going to con- tinue, the next few weeks should reveal whether the allies can bring the war to an end before another winter sets in. Perhaps Kitchener's promise that the war would begin in May, 1915, was pre- mature, and is now being fulfilled at this late date. At any rate, the world should soon know if the Teutons are invincible The past week has been the most hearten- ing for the allies since the battle of the Marne, and perhaps may really represent the turning of the tidC in the great war.

has done, must have much good in it.. That the guard survived and prospered in spite of everything, and has lived long enough to turn some 400O vigorous young citizen soldiers over to the United States, is sufficient vindicaton for those who nave had the honor to grow gray in it's service.
 Now that the call has come, and Uncle Sam has announced to all the world that he needs soldiers and needs them quickly the only ones to be had are the much ridtculed and despised National Guardsmen And now the tickle public suddenly finds that the militia" is a pretty good thing, after all.
 There is one especially encouraging fea- ture about this mobilization. It has shown that this country need never lack for trained and efficient officers. From all over the union certain gallant ones have deluged the various adjutants general with generous offers to accept commis- sions. It is said thar there were some 500 of these offers on General Hubbard $ desk here in Montgomery within "A hours after the mobilization order was issued. And the cloud of applicants that gathered to those organizations that happened to be short an officer spoke volumes for the military efficnecy of our people, That each of these applicants is worthy of the trust he seeks goes without saying. They dll duIlit IL. III IaCL, they nave not neS- itated to recommend themselves most highly. If the regulations allowed it, we could recruit a regiment of lieutenants tomorrow
 Unfortunately these would-be officers came too late. The time for getting a commission in the National Guard was when the guard needed officers and men, not when the officers needed the guard All these years these applicants have had their chance, and let it pass Now, thosa vacancies that exist will most probably be filled by men who have seen service and who have helped to bear the burden

Yellowstone Train

From Ouung.
 The Yellowstone Trail is one of the wonders and one of the curiosities of the west. It starts somewhere east of St. Paul, and it ends somewhere west of thf Yellowstone National Park. At intervaHs along the route there are places where the trail forks. and the innocent wayfarer will have to do some thinking and make some inquiries as to which is "the really truly Yellowstone and which is the sids track. This uncertainty, however, is 2 part of the joy of the trail and adds greatly to the attractiveness of a trip over it.
