Illiteracy in Alabama

The illiteracy commission, of which ex-Governor w. D. Jelks is chairman, is striving earnestly to reduce the num- ber of illiterates in Alabama and to re- move ultimately the blight altogether The commission was created by the legislature only year ago. In this short time appreciable results have been reported, and without any cost to the state But the greatest work the commission has before it is to assist the department of education in the campaign for the school tax amend ment to be voted upon in the regular election in November; for without 8 vigorous campaign even so popular measure as this amendment is sup posed to be will go by default.
 There is more illiteracy in the south as every one knows, than in any other section of the country. This is ac counted for in considerable degree by

 he play is one of skilled workman ship, dealing with French society, but handling the characters in an unusual and original way. Bulletins from play-gong committees of New York Boston, Phfla- delphia, Chicago, Washington and other centers have been issued commenting The Hawk and prasng the acting, not only of MT. Faversham but of the entire company.
 Particular mention is made of the charming work of Miss Orleen Hackett. Birmingham should, and I believe will, fill every seat in the Jefferson theatre on this occasion. Members of the Drama league would like to see such an audience as greeted Sir Johnston Forbes R Robert son.

THE INN OF EARTH

Sara Teasdale in Rivers to the Sea (Macmillan).
 came to the crowded Inn of Earth, And called for cup of wine, But the Host went by with averted eye
 From a thirst as keen as mine. Then I sat down with weariness
 And ask q a bit of bread But the Host went by with averted eye And never a word he said. While always from the outer night
 The waiting souls came in With stifled cries of sharp surprise
 At all the light and din. Then give me bed to sleep I said.
 For midnight comes apaces- But the Host went by with averted eye And I never saw his face. Since there is neither food nor rest
 I go where I fared before" But the Host went by with averted eye And barred the outer door.

THE KNIFE PISTOL
a Ne1,r York World.

From the New York World.
 The smallest breech-loading cannon in
 the world is now being made for pocket
 use It is not toy, but takes 22 cali
 bre rim-fire cartridge and fires bullet
 that would infict a nasty wound at close range.
 It is in the form of a pocket knife, no larger than the usual knife, and has two blades of fine steel. But at one end is a hole. Any one asked to examine the ar ticle and say what it is will be most likely to guess that it is some new-fan- gled pencil sharpcner or cigar cutter. In the end of the knife is a steel block that turns out on a swivel, being held by a spring that is released with the thumb nail and reveals a hole straight through the block The cartridge is inserted at the base of this hole, the block is swung back into place, the trigger on the side is opened, thus cooking the pistol, which is now ready to fire. It is held in the hand and the trigger pressed down with the thumb

the large negro poFllation, but there are more white illiterates in the south ern states than in the states north of us.
 Only two states ill the union have a larger percentage of people who can not read than Alabama-Louisiana and South Carolina. According to the fed eral census of 1910 Alabama's illiteracy was 22.9 per cent, as compared with Louisiana's 29.0 and South Carolina's 25.7. Mississippi was only five-tenths of one per cent less illiterate than Alabama, and Georgia only two per cent less In the United States the total illiteracy is only 7.7 per cent. The New England group as a whole has an illiterate population of 5.3 per cent, the middle Atlantic group 5.7 per cent, the east north central 3.4 per cent and the west north central only 29 per cent.
 The illiteracy of the entire south is stated at 15.5 per cent. These statis- tics for 1910 are based on the number of persons of 10 years of age and over.
 No matter how many volunteer teachers we may have in Alabama who give their services in instructing adult illiterates during the summer season, Alabama will make very slow progress in reducing the percentage of illiteracy unless the amendment auth orizing the people of each county and school district to tax themselves for school purposes be ratified in Novem- Der.
 The campaign to arouse interest in this vital question cannot be launched too soon

From Harper's Weekly.

From HarperS Weekly.
 La Panne is a small town on the Bel
 gian coast, now few miles behind the
 trenches. Formerly known only as a
 bathing resort, today it is the true capital
 of Belgian hopes and sorrows The grave
 referred to is that of Madame Marie De-
 page, who went to the United States in
 behalf of the Belgian Red Cross, and, re-
 turning, was lost on the Lusitania. The
 La Panne hospital was largely founded
 on the contributions she collected.
 @N a leveled sand dune, Joking out
 over the tossed-up pillows of sand
 W and beyond to the breaking surf
 and the gray expanse of the ocean, deso-
 late, profound, big with life. there stands
 wooden chapel, constructed much like
 the temporary hospital wards now
 abounding in this region congested with
 wounded At one end rises a modest
 tower, surmounted by the cross. On the crest of each dune, silhouetted against
 the sky. are the figures of Belgian sen tinels in their sand-colored coats and metal sacques, each with his rifle watch ing and guarding On the beach the beau- tiful, smooth plage of gay summer days are the soldiers soldiers marching, sol diers playing football, soldiers strug- gling to wash their poor clothes in the cold salt water A troop of cavalry gal lops by. At the far end, where the black hulls of deserted fishing smacks lie half buried in the sand, with children swing ing in play from their disused halyards, companies of soldiers are drilling. A row 1lo eo1x tI1fa along it's entire length, ungraceful. ill- built meretricious, redolent of illicit as- sociations and cabbage soup, now serve as barracks, their windows often broken, I their floors covered with straw. Toward 1 the center stands a large hotel. The Red Cross flag shows that this has become | a hospital and shelters hundreds of wounded, lying in their cots within it's staring white walls and in the group of low, gray, corrugated iron buildings closely surrounding it. These are emer- gency wards which were hastily called ! for in the summer.
 l Here in this little summer town of pleasure beats the heart of free Bel gium. Here in an unassuming villa like the King and Queen. Here a group of refugees and of Red Cross doctors and
 nurses have formed together to carry on
 the work of the hospital, to care for the men to whom their country must look for the re-establishment of it's independence. The administration of the hospital, and of it's laundry and storerooms, the order | ing of supplies, the pathetic attempt at 1 the education and care of the little chil- | dren of the ruined countryside and much of the arduous nursing are carried on l by a little band of Belgian women. Their husbands dead or in the trenches, unac- lcustomed to work, they devote themselves for long hours to these prosac tasks, and have done this not for a few weeks or months, but for full year. with the ex- 'certion of continuing until the end of the
 war.

Value of Trained Leaders

One of the most vital problems con- nected with the enlargement of the United States army is that of provld- ing enough officers with military training to command the additional troops. Efficient leadership is of first importance and the greater part, if not all, of Germany's success in the present war has been due to her able generals who have carried out their plans with highly disciplined and well trained troops. A modern army is the most unwieldly thing imaginable and even if the troops are well knit and closely co-ordinated, seasoned veterans who can be depended on in every emergency, their efficiency can be set at naught by the stupidity of their officers. England has suffered greatly through her incompetent military leaders along the various battle fronts, and so has Russia. France had the great good fortune to find in General Joffre a man who was able to perform the stupendous task set before him and as result the Kaiser will probably never make 8 triumphal entry into Paris.
 In a recent paper Capt. Henry J.. Reilly contributed to the Chicago Tribune he points out that the war between the United States and Mexico was fought to speedy and successful conclusion by the Americans largely because of the experienced leadership of General Scott and General Taylor, although efforts were made, for po- litical reasons, to supplant these eff cient generals, whose military train ing had been extensive by men of the military tactics. Fortunately for this country, Congress refused to carry out the plans of politicians.
 After the war General Scott de- clared that had it not been for West Point graduates, the campaign in Mexico would probably have lasted four or five years, with more defeats than victories falling to the Amer jeans. As it was, not battle or skir- mish was lost. To be sure the Mex jeans were rather poor adversaries, but against we'll trained foes the need of experienced leaders would have been correspondingly greater. Prac- tically all the officers of the regular army at that time, below the rank of major, were West Point graduates The record they made in the war with Mexico was a vindication of West Point. Although General Scott was not a graduate, both he and Gen. eral Taylor had seen long service as regular officers of the army.

FANCY PULLMANS PASSING

From the Springfield Mass) Republican
 The Railroad Man for February says that Pullman cars are to lose their prin- cipal decoration--the 'mirrored Gothic v or ornamental glass over the windows, which has long been used, in varying de- signs, to impart grace and beauty to the cars.
 The introduction of steel cars has unfor- tunately eliminated all distinction from the design of ordinary coaches. Will the public object to having Pullmans made as severely plain as a box car? Or will the public be entirely indifferent? It has long been rumored that the change was coming, and, indeed, many cars have al ready appeared in the new style, but there has been no positive indication that all standard sleepers and chair cars were to be denuded of their decoratic--
