would have been madness to have dis regarded the summons, and when the moment of saner thought comes none will be so ready to admit it as those editors who are now sneering at Cap tain Harrison for want of courage.
 If the summons had not been needed and the Appam had been sunk, which would undoubtedly have been the case, as witness the destruction of the Clan MacTavish, which attempted resistance. Captain Harrison would have deserved severe censure for so heedlessly riskmg the lives in his care.
 Captain Harrison need not worry about his owners. He has been ac- quilted at the great bar of public opinion, which is unanimous in declar- ing that in his recognition of the dan ger and his duty he showed the high est kind of courage.

TuscaIOosa,s Centennial

"The centennial at Tuscaloosa, which will he held at the same time as the university commencement, bids fair to be one of the biggest events in the his tory of Alabama said c. w. Taylor, a well known attorney of the Oak City who was in Birmingham yesterday. 'Tus- caloosa realizes that she has laid out big task for herself and the entire citi- zenship has united in the effort to make the affair a pronounced success.
 Within recent years Tuscaloosa has done many big things, but it is planned to make this outclass all her previous ef- forts. The committees in charge of the details has been busy for several months and from now until the last week in May the centennial will occupy a large share of the thought and atten- ton of Tuscaloosa.
 "The university is planning for the largest attendance at commencement i'll it's history and the institution ana the city of Tuscaloosa are working in perfect harmony to make the two events epochal"

New German Air Craft

According to advInces sad to nave been received by the French military authorities. Germany has lately per facted half dozen different types of .aronlanes that are far superior to any air craft previously in use Both as fighting and reconnoitering ma chimes they are said to be highly ef- ficient and are expected to play an imnortant part along the allied line Tn the spring.
 A great deal has been written about the Fokker, which was thought to De the greatest achievement of the Ger mans in aeroplane construction. The Fokker is chiefly noted for its great speed, but is reputed to be rather hard to handle. What is known as the L. N' ..G. biplane, recently developed by the Garnans. is machine of 160-horse mower. with speed of 100 miles an hour at a height of 5000 feet. It Is able to climb 1000 feet in 15 minutes and 12.OO0 feet in 40 minutes. The biplane is fitted with electric lights, bomb throwers, flash signaling de- vices, star lights and machine guns.
 The Germans have also turned out other types of improved planes and have apparently devoted themselves assiduously to making their aerlal craft superior to those of the allies. With their fleet bottled up and their armies practically checked on all sides. what may be termed the psy- chology of aerial warfare in it's et- feet on the Germans is apparent. With their Zeppelins they can raid London, which they are unable to reach other wise, and inflict damage on Paris, al- though the soldiers of Papa" Joftre have effectively and permanently halted their approach by land. The heavens are still open to them, and it is doubtless a comforting, as well as an encouraging thought, that In the air. at least, the allies 'ring of iron can be set at naught.

for upbuilding in this countrys sea- fighting equipment.
 The Harrison administration con tinued the larger navy" programme, and MT. Cleveland, in his second term, with Colonel Herbert as Secretary ot the Navy, had the satisfaction of see ing a naval establishment that was considered at the time distinct credit to the United States. Cleveland was never an alarmlst.
 He said little about foreign invasion. He opposed warlike attitude toward Spain over Cuba, and had he been
 President four years longer Cuba
 would probably have gained it's inde- pendence without this country's hay ing to fight a long time friendly
 power. But no President was ever
 more impressed with the necessity of this country bettering it's national de- fense than was MT. Cleveland; and
 this significant utterance of his IS singularly apropos of present-day con- ditions: "The nation that cannot re- sist aggression is constantly exposed to it. Its foreign policy is of neces- sity weak, and it's negotiations are conducted with disadvantage because it is not in condition to enforce terms dictated by the sense of right and
 justice"
 Could any argument or suggestion fit better into President Wilson's preparedness discussions than Grover Cleveland's wise saying?

MACH SUEZ

The Teuto-Turks, on the contrary must bring their troops, guns and munitions over the Taurus mountains and over the Amanus by road. Since the tunnels on the Bagdad railroad are unfinished, they must transport them for 125 miles over the barren Sinai desert, with only few wells to furnish water and no other roads than desert trails. Finally, they must draw upon distant regions for food. for neither from Palestine nor Syria can they
 derive food or forage for any considerable army.
 The British and their allies can put al- most any number of troops on the canal
 line, whose restricted length calls for not more than 250,000 even accepting the standards of western warfare and these are certainly not applicable to this region.
 At Ypres less than 1500OO British bore the weight of German attack made by numbers estimated at 500,000. For days they held lines that they never had the time to fortify. They were then destitute
 of any considerable amount of heavy es- tllery and lacked high explosive ammuni- ton. Now they have heavy guns and they have also the fleet batteries and unlimited ammunition.
 i As to nsurrections in the British rear, these are unlikely because the area in which men can live off the country in Egypt is exceedingly restricted and there 1 is lacking any considerable military pop ] ulaton. Egypt has always been con quered and held by smy forces. In case
 of peril the whole allied army could be 1 transported from Salonilli far more
 quickly than could the Turks send new forces from Constantinople.
 1 In sum, while there is probably no req
 son to doubt that the attempt to force
 Suez will be made, nothing but criminal l folly on the British part could have left i it open to successful attack and there is
 no real possibility that the Turks could acquire the guns or transport to main- | tain an army sufficient to prevail on the
 narrow front, long ago fortified and pro- tected alike by the desert and by tSs fleet.

NAMES

From the Kansas City Star.
 An interesting phase of human nature was disclosed in the recent story of Jack" Thompson, the Texas newsboy, hotel clerk and chorus man, who went to New York eight years ago, changed his name to Jean Harald Edward Saint Cyr "of France married two rich widows in succession and thus became a millionaire.
 Could he have done it had he kept the name of Jack" Thompson of Tex as? Probably not.
 The Detroit Times told the other day of a man named Billie Bedee, who was almost starving as a dancing teacher He hid out for year. changed his name to Guillaume Le Bedee, opened the Elite Dancing academy, and got rich
 It told, also, of a real estate firm that had a hard time selling it's lots in Elm street. It changed the name of the ad- dition to Sierra Vista" called Elm street "Rhododendron Terrace raised the price 30 per cent, and sold them all
 There's magic in the right kind of a name. The great trouble is that in most cases if there is nothing behind the name people are so apt to find it out.

Birmingham's Prompt Response

Birmingham Prompt Response
 Birmingham's fund for the relief of the Polish Jews grows. Some weeks ago the Jews of this city had con- tributed among themselves about S400O. This was before an appeal was made to the general public.
 In response to the recent call as the outcome of the Majestic theatre mass meeting upwards of $10,000 has been raised. The canvassing teams, under the leadership of Robert Jemi- son, Jr., found their task easy.
 The Birmingham people have al ways been quick to give of their means to every organized relief cause, and they have been proverbially generous in this instance, when the Jews, for the first time, have asked for our help.
 Fully 15,000 will be sent from Bir- mingham to the treasurer of the gen eral relief fund, including the money raised among the Jews alone. There are many men and women who are

Interesting Political Figures

Maybe, if the tenderfooted democrats who, with fear and trembling, see the ghost of the bull moose leader approach ing, will study the figures on the last presidential election they will conclude that democracy is in the saddle and that with Wilson to handle the reins victory will be certain again in Novem- ber" said Frank ", Evans.
 Here are the figures: The electoral vote of 1912: Wilson, democrat, 43o; Tatt, republican, s; Roosevelt, progressive SS' Wilson's majority of electoral votes over Taft and Roosevelt combined 939 Will son carried 40 states and two electoral votes of California. Taft carried two states and Roosevelt carried i've t') states and eleven QD electoral votes or California. Popular vote, Wilson over Roosevelt 2,173,512. Total popular Vote' 15, ,O36, 542

From Sea Power and the War" by
 Frank H. Simonds in the American Re-
 view of Reviews for February.
 MT is characteristic of the German
 genius that it builds for itself one CO., U lossal dream after another. and the collapse of one only inspires greater faith in the next. Thus Germany has belleved' since the war began, that France could be abolished by six weeks campaign and the struggle won; that the successtul advance to Calais would bring Britain to heel; that the submarine would accom- plish the same result; that Russia could be eliminated in summer campaign; that the advance to Constantinople would coquer the will of the allies and insure peace.
 Now the German mind has seized upon the Suez as the key to the British em- pire England's Heel of Achilles. The whole British empire is to be under mined, overthrown by a successful Teuto- Turk drive at Egypt Mach Suez" has replaced Mach Paris and Mach Ca lais' as a German watchword. Yet there seem to be grave doubts as
 
 lthat the Teuto-Tul'k armies actually pass the canal and enter Egypt How can this shake the British empire? It will not ln- terrupt, but merely lengthen the voyage ! to India, and India was conquered and ! held when only sailing vessels were on the water and the east was reached by way of the Cape of Good Hope. or itself, Egypt is not essential to British exist ! ence because it neither furnishes men nor produces material necessary for Britain l It is a more valuable colony than any German overseas possession, but Ger
 many has lost the use of all her colonies without losing he war or any real ad- vantage thereby As for India, Japan is bound by treaty to defend that, so it does not enter into the question.
 It is hard to see on what the German i conception of the importance of Egypt is based but what chance have the inva- | cers of passing Suez? An army of 25,000 Turks was heavily defeated before Suez 1 a year ago and the British have had 12 nontrs to prepare. We all know that a shorter time was sufficient to enable the Turks to fortify Gallipoli. For a whole year the British have been busy preparing 100 miles front. Indeed, they lave reduced this front by a third by l flooding the east bank of the canal near the northern end and perhaps another third by filling the other lakes along the | route. Certainly there is not more than 50 miles of front available for Turkish | attack.
 ] Behind this front and parallel to it is a railroad. The canal was defended last year by warships, as well as by forts. | All the resources of sea power are avail
 able for the transport of munitions men and supplies and Cairo and Alexandria are available as bases, as well as Port
 Said and Suez.

Unpreparedness and Foreign Policy

George Washington, realizing the importance of military preparedness, advocated well trained militia and advised that the government encour- age the development of an efficient citizen soldiery.
 He was lover of peace, but having prophetic vision he saw that the coun- try's safety depended to large extent upon it's preparedness to resist inva- sion.
 Grover Cleveland, like Washington, thought and wrote as statesman, and in his messages to Congress, published in collected form, will be found great moral truths and deal of political
 wisdom. In both style and content
 President Cleveland's state papers always bore the hallmark of original 1 itv and constructive force. He, like
 the illustrious chief magistrates of an earlier period, was distinguished for his clear thinking and the impress siveness of his deliverances. It was his earnest belief in the na- tion's need of strong navy that led him to make his naval policy as prom inent as it proved to be in both ad ministrations. With the assistance of William c. Whitney as Secretary of the Navy and Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama as chairman of the House naval committee, MT. Cleveland's first administration marked turning point

WHEN THE MAGICIAN QUIT

From the Detroit News.
 Prof. Presto Change, the world famous magician had entertained the people in the theatre for half an hour. He had taken a pair of rabbits out of his assistants coat pocket; he had taken flock of doves out of a crum- pied handkerchief; has had taken a cluster of flowers and potted plant out of the folds of fan. The climax came when the gaping crowd saw him take a horse out of hat.
 As the deafening applause subsided little Professor Presto Change walked his hand for silence.
 "Ladies and gentlemen he an nounced, this is not really the close of my programme I will now do any trick or set of tricks that you may suggest Simply tell me what you want me to do Speak up, somebody"
 Near the center of the house a gray haired man with a long, white beard arose.
 There's somethin l want to see done young feller,' he said Ever since was boy We wanted to see It uoHe But I'm afraid you can't do it. It's a hard one"
 Prof. Presto Change smiled.
 "T like the difficult tricks he said What is it, Uncle, that you wish to sec me do, that you have so long wanted te see done?'
 Well" the old man cried shrilly "what I want is to see yoil take the tar fir out of politics. Attendants led the writhing professor from the stage.

HELEN KELLER, sYNDICALIsT

From the St. Louis Dispatch.
 A most interesting article in recent Post-Dispatch was the interview with Helen Keller, the blind-deaf genius, an- nouncing her conversion to syndicalsm, the political faith of the Industrial Work CTS of the World.
 After stating that she became mem- Der of the I. w. w. because the socialist party is too slow to bring about her ideal of economic justice, Miss Keller 1n- weighs against the Boy Scouts because they are taught to shoot-as a matter or fact they are not-and makes a peace plea The right kind of education and the general strike, she believes, will win the day for the workers.
 One can sympathize with Miss Keller in her impatience with conditions as they exist. It is the mpatience of the youth ful enthusiast But she is in bad com pany Possibly she may not have read the article on "Syndicalism-The Creed of Force'' by Giovannitti, which appeared in the New York Independent of October 30, 1913. In that clear-cut statement of l. w. w. principles, the revolutionist leader says that 'the question that sym dicalsm bravey confronts is not one of right and justice, but one of force, talk ing the word in it's broader meaning"
 And again: We are going to do what we need and intend to do simply because we have the power to do it." And, call ing attention to the battering of skulls and other violence by police against strik- CTS, he says the other side was justified in using such methods because it had the power. But whether right or not we are going to do the same because you have taught us that these tactics are the only ones which bring results.
 The I. w. w. is above all things, an appeal to force, as it's leaders do not hes itate to admit. Does Miss Keller really believe that, in this country where the peoples ballots rule, force Is necessary? :? Cannot the desired progress be made without bloody debacle?

RESPECTABILITY TRIUMPHANT

From the Chicago Tribune.
 No matter how hard man tries, re- spectability always gets him.
 Cyclone Davis, who went to Washing ton dressed as a man of the people, in soft shirt, has already succumbed to the seductive linen collar. In another two months or so visitors from his ma tive state may find a frock coat adorn- ing his lanky body, and in year he may be wearing a silk handkerchief up his sleeve.
 No one, not even Cyclone Davis, can down propriety. No one is original enough Besides it is not safe. The day dreams of the most rebellious and am bilious youth lead eventually to the silk hat and pew on Sunday, or some such insignia of accomplishment. It is the harbor which achievement steers for
 It makes one sorry for the poor an archist or for the criminal who has a grudge against society. Whatever his principles or his desire for revenge on society, the moment he is successful he is seduced He is working all the time for precisely those indications of re- spectability which he finds so irritating in others.
 Eddie Mack, who has been indus triously engaged in picking pockets for living. has ideals as respectable as q curate His apartment, as his wife some what proudly admits, is better fur nished than those of their neighbrs, and his little daughter is photographed with a lily in her hand, just like other little daughters. They are thoroughly conven- tional people.
 If Eddie is successful, if he writes ( best seller or buys sufficient bonds, we shall expect to see his name in the SO ciety columns as the leader of lodge cotillion or announcing the engagement of his now youthful daughter. Doubt less he dreams of the day.
