COMEDY FOLLOWS TRAGEDY

some gifts, others stared fxedly, as if fascinated by the contemplation of death. Finally a young officer picked out four men to carry off the shining pieces of polish metal With white faces they reached for the handles. If there had been a German counter attack at that moment, the hands of the onlookers could have been tied without waking them from their trance.
 The bombs were carried off to the heart of the woods For 12 hours they rested there. In the late afternoon visiting colonel of Cossacks declared for an in vestigation out of devotion to military science. As no one else volunteered he approached the mysteries. unclamped lid and threw 1t open. rich smelling steam arose. It was from a. very good quality of soup. Those caldrons were the new German "ever-hots"-and double lined with some sort of nonconductor of heat
 But, also, imagine the surprise of those four German cooks upon finding so sud- denly that Ivan Ivanovitch was waiting for F'ritz's breakfast. L

OSCAR WELLS, BANKER

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Birmingham has got hold of a banker who Is Tive one" He is Oscar Wells president of the First National, and he is turning over few wheels that were not turned much before his arrival. He is taking most active interest in agri- cultural development and before he has been in Birmingham long he is going to wake up some of the people, and incl dentally the other banks, to the impor- tance of developing agriculture along the like stock route. He is now getting out monthly magazine that Is full of good sensible boosts for progressive things.
 We'll Birmingham needed such bank er-every town needs one. Such a man in an influential bank sets a pace that other banks have to follow or get out ot the running and settle back on their oars. We dare say that Oscar Wells in fluence will extend considerably beyond Birmingham.
 We venture to state that he Is the kind of banker who will extend every courtesy and accommodation to the smaller bank that is really doing something for the live stock industry in it's territory And we venture to guess that he is the sort ot banker who has not much patience with the smaller bank that is asep to its opportunity to get under the live stocB industry in it's section.
 Oscar Wells will do a big work, nc doubt, for there is certainly lots ol chance for the live banker to do big work in Alabama.

AIfaIfn Beats Cotton

The boil weevil has caused many farmers in Alabama who never thought of anything else but cotton to plant crops just as lucrative" said Winston Thomp- son of Lowndes county, who has a plantation which comprises 5000 acres 90o0 of which Is in cultivation For my part, I do not attempt to raise an ounce of cotton.
 Most of the planters in Lowndes county realized that the activity of the greatest cotton pest on earth would de- stroy their crops, and accordingly went in for other crops. Alfalfa Is one of the crops that is being planted by the ma jority of the planters of Alabama, who have soil conducive to the growing of this plant. With alfalfa one can get five cuttings a year.
 Corn is another product that we are raising in abundance and we are getting good price for it. I sold a number of bushels few days ago at 97 cents per bushel. At this price the raising of corn is equally as lucrative as cotton. At the present time cotton is so high that scme of the farmers wish they had at- tempted to raise a crop even if it had been reduced more than half by ths Weeyil"

A CRIPPLE'S OCCUPATION

Well, they leave their cars here and
 ain't exactly our fault if it gets banked behind another bunch of cars is it? Then those fellows have to get out by them selves or get us to do it. So they don't come back very often. Excuse me a min- ute"
 He hobbled down the long line to a big touring car into which party of five were clambering. There he was joines by his helper, who tugged and hauled at other machines until a path was cleared The cripple pocketed a coin, denomination unknown-and returned.
 Been at it seven years" he explained as he wiped his forehead with a blue bandana. Built up regular trade hero. Didn't do nothing but most starve before that. Amt no one will take a cripple to work. My name? Mansfield-straight Irish. What do you want it for? Re- porter? Oh, Lord!''
 Gently as possible, Mr Mansfield was told of the telephone accusation.
 Some crank" he calculated But, say, we don't force fellows to pay Couldn't stay here a minute if we did. The cops'd get after us. Bring that fel- low down to see me, will you? Tell your editor there aint nothing to 1t. Tell him I say it's lie.'

Highway in Bad shape

The erstwhile Montgomery highway that was looked upon with pride by citi- zens along this route is no more," said Ernest W. House. T had occasion to go to Calera last Sunday and never had the displeasure of travelling over such rough, bad roads. The immense rocks in the road literally tore up one cesing and caused three punctures
 A lot of money was spent on this road few years ago-two years, be- heve. At that time it was one of the most excellent highways in the state.
 The casual observer who happened to try trip on this road today will see the folly of building good roads and then let ting them go to ruin. It is high time for the taxpayers of this community and other communities through which a high way is run to know that a road once built soon goes to ruin if it is not kept up in the proper manner"

UNDERWOOD EXPOSES IT From the Mobile Register.

Senator Underwood exposed the falsi- Underwood tariff in his speech at Gin cinnati Friday night when he said that the customs receipts fore 1914 showed that the revenue was coming in largely under it and this was before the war
 broke out. For six months prior to the
 opening of hostilites the country was prosperous and beginning to recover
 from the period of depression that had set in before Taft went out of office
 There is no reason to doubt that the
 prosperity would have continued had
 there been no war, for the records of
 the department of commerce show that
 war material constitutes just 15 per icent of the six billions of imports and
 exports of the country.
 One of the most remarkable things about the Underwood. tariff is the heavy increase in imports of raw ma terials under it. This has gone up 15C per cent. Most of this raw material
 comes in duty free, and it goes to ou, mills and factories for transformation into the finished product. Here Is where the transportation companies get theil share of prosperity and where the la. boring people get theirs Protective duties on raw materials have kept then out of this country, lessening the coun- | trys prosperity just that much
 I With trade balance in our favor O. nearly two billion now and the pros pect of its being two and a half billior 1 by the end of the fiscal year, the part, | of protection has all the logic taker out of it's argument in favor of tha
 tariff system.

 FOR 24 hours the shelling had been
 ISI heavy. Then the wire cutters ano S the bomb throwers slipped out into the gray mist. After a few long mo- ments came a signal and then a Ger man rifle spoke and then another until there was a pumping rattle. The Rus sians were out of the trenches and run ming with the speed of heavy men, SC deceptive by it's lack of grace.
 The enemy machine guns had unlim- bered. The muzzles moved the advanc- ing ranks but in the darkness the toll was uncertain. No one could afterward remember exactly what did happen in the
 barbed wire tangle. When the wire was passed. 1t was passed and was crec- ited up in the list of all miracles. But the men were through, some Of them, and were swarming into the trenches. hand grenade answered for the mos' troublesome of the machine guns. Bayo- nets silenced the others. There had beer is minutes of it, and the first German prisoner was under escort toward the rear Then came d udll HUI oi SAeeAAS AeS~~- the right about facing of the trench by the first light of the dawn.
 There was a shot. Shoulders straight ened. Was it the counter attack? Yes there were the Germans, but there were only four of them, They were coming from nobody ever knew where and they were carrying, slung on handles, two huge bombs of a new and utterly strange variety. It seemed that the ap. preaching men must have been drugged into madness, for they laughed ant shouted to the Russians. Was 1t gas attack? Or some new invention nor, devilish even than anything Teuton in. genuity had yet brought into moderr war?
 Men who had been facing machin, guns few minutes before were now go. ing into panic. The Germans came 1 nearer. Not a hand was raised agains them. But suddenly those four German: shrieked and dropped the great polished | iron mysteries and took as suddenly tt their heels as they had suddenly ap peared in the first place. Shots followed their retreat, but wildly.

THE DRAMA oF GossIp

From the Cincinnati Times-Star
 The late Jose Echegaray won fame as mathematician and as a statesman, but it was in recognition of his plays that Echegaray was permitted to share in the Nobel prize for literature in 1904 with Mistral
 And yet Echegaray's international fame as dramatist is founded on one play. "El Gran Galeoto," in which he realized the dramatic possibilities of gossip Mariana" is a melousama of too much blood and vengeance for our subdued taste. The Son of Don Juan is an Iberian echo of Ibsens Ghosts" Saint or Mailman is too Spanish to have a cosmopolitan appeal. But "Il Gran Ga leoto" lent itself as gracefully to pro- duction in Berlin, Paris London or New York as in Madrid. It's excellent char the ability of gossip, by attributing sin to two innocent persons, to bring about eventually the sin attributed, made 'sIl Gran Galeoto" play capable of being transplanted wherever the drama was appreciated. When the Echegaray drama was played in this country by William Faversham, under the title of 'The World and His Wife," the Spanish environment merely gave 1t a mildly exotic atmos-, phere. But for the names and few ref erences to things Castilian the characters might have been moving to their des- tiny in a Washington or Cincinnati en- vironment. The dramatist had succeeded in portraying an ubiquitous phase of so-. ciety.
 Of course. the success of "El Gran Galeoto" on stages other than the Span ish does not definitely give it a place among the greatest plays. The fact that Pillars of Society,"" as produced by Mrs Fiske few years ago, was the most romantic performance of Ibsen we had ever seen, did not prove to us that this first play of the Norwegian's later man. ner was as great as "Hedda Gabler" or 'The Wild Duck.'' But "El Gran Galeo- to- must remain one of the most pleas ant dramatic invasions of the past two decades, play of delightful memory like Herman Bahr's "The Concert"

people, as anyone can see by merely glancing over the nearest billboard when one of these enterprises is about due, are true cosmopolites. In the big circus family there are people from all parts of the world, including orien- tals of many sorts, to whom the ciga- rette is as the breath of life.
 With this particular circus, one of the largest, there are Turks, Japs, Hindos and Egyptians who carry along with them large quantities of their favorite cigarettes in the cir GUS sleeping cars. The village author ities warned the circus management that the orientals must obey the law. The train section in which they were travelling was accordingly halted at the city limits. They were told to de- stroy their cigarettes and pandemon- ium broke loose immediately. There was wild gesticulation, the sort of profanity that would have done Kip ling good, and threats of violence.
 A hurry call for interpreters was sent out and the orientals agreed to arbitrate. They gave their cigarettes to the circus mail man to keep until they had shaken the dust of Fayette- vile from their indignant feet. And, like good sportsmen, they performed as zealously as if nothing had hap pened to ruffle the oriental calm in which they move and have their be- in0

GREAT ARMIES OF HISTORY

forces were composed of feudal tenants of the several kings, who left their peaceful occupations at the call for troops, and went back to them when the war was over. But with the invention of gunpowder a great change came, and standing armies in the services of the kings began to arise, with the result of overthrowing the rude system of popular control of kings and princes, which the feudal system had preserved. But still armies were numbered by the ten or at most by the hundred thousand, and millions disappeared from military arith- metic Even the wars of the French revolution did not engage such vast num- bers. At Wagram some 100000 were en- gagged, and Leipzig the allies alone num- bered as many. This was the maximum
 We get back to the millions with our civil war, as more than 1000, GOO soldiers were under arms in the national service when the struggle came to an end. At that moment America was the greatest military country of the world, and the knowledge of this fact lent force to our demands for the evacuation of Mexico by the French, and for the payment of the Alabama claims by the English.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Wants Golf LinIkn

Solicitor Hugo L. Black. who is an ar- dent golfer, is enthusiastic over the idea promulgated by The Age-Herald for a municipal golf links at Green Springs park.
 Tt is one of the most progressive ideas put forth in Birmingham in years," said Solicitor Black, "and l sincerely hope that it is carried to successful conclu- sion
 There is no question In my mind that a municipal golf links will meet with popular approval Of course few will complain about the cost and that empty civic treasury. but that should not deter The Age-Herald from pushing the project. The younger element is certain t. approve of a municipal golf links, and 1t is always to the younger generation that we should turn for progressive ideas. Let us have the golf links. It will help to make the younger taxpayers and voters forget about the troubles of their city,"

For Selma Amendment

Judge Romaine Boyd is heartily in fa- vor of the Selma amendment to the state constitution, and he hopes that it will carry in November.
 Tt Is only a matter of justice to the city of Selma" said Judge Boyd, that the remainder of the state should vote in favor of its amendment to the con stitution. It is purely a local matter for the Selmians, and does not add one cent to the taxation of that ely. It merely reapportions the distribution of the taxes.
 "Selmlans are vitally interested in the adoption of this amendment and it is to be hoped that the remainder of the state will vote to relieve Selma of the old time laws that is throttling its progress. In fact, if the Selma amendment wins it means more funds for educational pur- poses in that city and every citizen should favor the attaining of the means for the further spread of education in Alabama"

The Army and the
 Federalized Guard

TT HE war department will be kept
 N busy during the next six months
 reorganizing the army according to the provisions of the law enacted a short time before Congress adjourned
 as part of the preparedness pro- gramme. The liberalization of the National Guard is included in the new enactment and it is this feature of the law that will be regarded in the ex- perimental stage for some months to
 come.
 Certain close observers of military
 affairs opposed the measure placing the state militia on footing with
 the regular establishment in time of war or threatened war, and not few experts who thought the federalizing plan, reported by Chairman Hays
 committee, worth trying are now
 ready to advocate an amendment that will practically eliminate the guard as United States troops. Officers of the general staff and officers prominent in the war college never thought well of the federaliza- tion project and several members of
 the Senate committee on military af- fairs only agreed to it as an emer-
 gency measure. The army had to be largely increased for immediate serv- ice and it was the National Guard or
 nothing. But now that the reorganiza- tion law has been studied by the de- partment and is being worked out with delibcration, the first considera-
 ton should be given to practical

Increasing Interest
 I'm %Thn Amnamdlnnemt

IF the shool tax amendment to be U voted for on the Eth of November fails to carry by an overwhelming majority it will not be because the people are uniformed as to its pro- visions or needs of the public school system in Alabama. The friends of education have conducted well or ganized campaign, with view ot arousing the entire electorate.
 If the election were held tomorrow the education amendment would be ratified, but the vote in its favor should be practically unanimous. The large percentage of illiteracy in Ala bama has been of incalculable injury to the national interests of the state, and the way to reduce the percentage and bring illiteracy to the vanishing point within the next two or three years is to amend the constitution so that each county and school district may have the right to levy special tax for school purposes.
 There are several other amendments to be submitted to the electorate in November, but next in importance to the education measure is that which seeks to protect the savings deposi- tors of state banks. Under the con- stitution as it now stands checking depositors, in case of banks failure, are preferred creditors, while the de- positors in the savings department have to wait and take what is left, which is usually nothing, or next to nothing. This is great wrong. The amendment puts the open account de- positors and the savings depositors on the same footing when it comes to liquidation. Every voter should cast his ballot for the bank amendment.
