ILL HEALTH FORCES
 GALLIENI TO RETIRE
Strength Exhausted by Devotion to
 Duty, French General Seeks Rest
in Private Life.

Paris, March Is, 11:15 D. m.-Gen- eral Gallieni sent his resignation to Premier Briand in a letter dated Yer sailles, March 16, a translation of which is as follows:
 MT. Premier: As I explained to you last week, my strength which I have devoted exclusively and unir- terruptedly to the service of the country, now fails me. The doctors consider that I am not at present in a. condition to perform with the ne- cessary activity the duties of the high office entrusted to me. They de- clare that to make it possible for me to resume active work, a complete and lengthy rest and careful treat ment are indispensable. I, therefore ask you to accept my resignation as minister of war.
 With great respect,
 Sincerely yours,
 "GALLIENI.'
 M Briand replied as follows, under date of Paris, March 16:
 My Dear General I can only ac- knowledge the receipt of your resig- nation and at the same time express to you the grief with which I receive it--a grief which is shared by all your colleagues in the ministry. I wish to tell you how much I regret that the state of your health should deprive the government of services so precious in the work of national defense. I hope that, cured of the ill., ness which for the moment forces you to forego active work, you may be able soon again to take a prom inent place in the service of the country.
 Relieve me, my dear general,
 sincerely yours,

Why We Need the NAVY

From THE Progress of the World" in
the American Review of Reviews.
Never at any time since the founda-
ton of our republic have American rights
been so flagrantly disregarded by the
maritime powers of Europe as during the
past two years. We have made protests
in words, but Europe has not thought
we meant what we said because we have
taken none of the obvious and simple
steps that would have secured the respect
for the rights of neutrals. The leverage
that we might have used to secure recog-
milton of the rights that we have as
serted will soon be gone 1t will not
be great while before the military
and maritime powers of Europe will be
released from their present absorption,
and terrific strain. The most fatuous
people on earth are those Americans who
say that the end of the war will leave
Europe exhausted and helpless, while
leaving us vigorous and invincible. Cana
da alone, if the war should end within
six months. could thoroughly defeat the
United States long before our ill-pre--
pared country could find rifles or anmu-
milton for it's recruits. Never at any mo-
ment in their history have any of the
European powers been as strong for war
as today; and it is perhaps within bounds
to say that they have never been as lit
tie regardful of the rights of other ma
tons as now. In the early weeks of the
war they were all rather sensitive as
to what was called 1.-The public opinion of

money, the more hardened they become
and the more contemptuous of such abb

METHODISTS HAVE
GREAT PROSPECTS

list Followers Planning to
Accompany Team to
First Game
nx GUY NATIONS

Coach Charlie Brown of Birming-
ham college has developed good
strong team to represent the Old COLD
and Black this season. He has had an
abundance of good material and will
use several different styles of play.
Early indications were to the effect
that the backfield would be very light
but this has been removed by the APP
pearance of Logan and big" Caps
These two men are huskies and are
well experienced. They were a little
late in reporting but are in good con-
dition at the present and will, without
a doubt, be in splendid condition by
the erd of this week.
Iogan's most noticeable work was
during the three years with the
Blount County High school, He has
also done good service for Birming-
ham college several years ago. This is
expected to be his best year and FOL
lowers of the Old Gold and Black are
putting a great deal of faith in the
"bis fellow" He will probably be used
as a tackle on account of his exper-
fence and weight.
Capps will easily be remembered for
his gallant service in 1915. Last sea-
son he played with Southern univer-
sity at Greensboro, but did not nave
very much support. He has DECIDED
to cast his lot with Birmin CHAM again
and students and friends are expecting
much from him this season. He is an
exceptionally fast man for his weight
and is a terrible p1unger. He will PROB
ably he used mostly as fullback. lie
will be in good condition by the end
Of the week, as he has been playing
ball all the season.
John Warren, who played fulloack
on the fast A1bertville team last sea-
son, is mixing a splendid showing Tor
the same position here. He is a very
light man but has wonderful driving
ability. lie will probably assist Capps
as there will be two sets of backfield
men all the season.
Coach Brown does not worry about
a quarterback, for he has three de-
pendable men in Scott. Cook and Gill
lam. All three are old men ana are
running the team in nice fashion.
The line will be exceptionally heavy
this season and will be composed by
the following men: Neill, Norton,
Neese. Levie, Bailey, T. Sessions, who
are old men. Hatcher, Haynes and Ma
lone, who were on the scrub team last
year and West, McPhail, who are new
men, Scott can be shifted to an end
anytime.
Scrimmages have been the pro-
gramme for the past week and the
SQUADS are in good shape. Hard work
and daily lectures have developed the
teams wonderfully and this is to be
glorious year for the supporters OF the
Old Gold and Black.
A great deal of interest has already
been manifested by the large crowds
present each evening for the practices
and scrimmages.
Hard work and plenty of it is In
store for the boys this week in order
to be in the best condition to meet
Alabama Saturday in Tuscaloosa.
Arrangements are being made to
secure a special train for the occasion
as a large body of students and sup
porters are intending to make the trip.

Atlanta, September 24.-With the open
ing of the football season in the south

various squads this week are prepared
to put their charges through a course of
strenuous workouts. Scrimmage practice,
which for the past ten days or two
weeks has been INDUCED in sparingly,
will be started at most places.
Trials of aspirants to fill holes left by
graduation and development of new ma
terial are occupying most of the coaches.
McGugin at Vanderbilt is endeavoring to
build up backfield around Captain Cur
ry, while at Virginia much attention has
been paid to finding a punter to replace
Thurman, now reported to be in the
trenches in Europe.
At Auburn especial efforts are being
devoted to fullback candidates in hopes
of getting someone who can take the
place of Bidez. Alabama coaches are de-
