THE WARS STAKE TN ASIA

 The earlier events of the war all were favorable to the consolidation of the Ger man plans. While England was battling to keep the Germans from the channel ports and Russia was confronting Hin- denburg in Poland. the Turks. not yet ac- knowledged in the Teutonic alliance, were free to strengthen their position in Meso- potamia. to hasten the building of the Bagdad road and to prepare an offensive against Egypt which should greatly de- lay the British expedition to the east when the time came.
 Thus the third year of the war is al- most come before the results of the con test in this far removed theatre are be- | coming apparent. After an initial re- verse the British have swept up from the Persian gulf through and probably be-

From the north and east the Russians after penetrating the Caucasus and taking Trebizond and other Black sea and Armenian strongholds, are converging on the Tigris to meet the ad-
 
 vancing British. Their juncture will mean | the complete conquest of Mesopotama and bring them to Turkeys back door in Asia. It can mean little else than the destruction of the Turkish power. Thus has the war first uncovered and then defeated, 1t may be believed. the far reaching Teuton ambition of an empire more gigantic than either Alexander or Napoleon had vsioned. From the North sea to the Persian gulf, linking up Ger many, Austro-Hungary, the Balkans. Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia, Mesopotamia and Persia, covering the Hanks both of Egypt and India!

but most of them have deservedly per- ished. It is said of Hanby that he did not copyright his song and the publishers made fortune. while he spent the rest of tls life in desperate effort to make another hit and failed.
 A good. many of us can remember 40 years ago, when Silver Threads Among the Gold' was one of the particular great favorites. Nowadays we are so highly de- veloped that we will not have sentiment tality at any price, or else demand that it will be of a rather racy, cynical or farcical order. We are so superior to our ancestors that we have to keep hustling all the time in order to be up to the minute in our musical psychology.
 Oh, very we'll We must be much su- perior to the past, because we so readily admit it and that makes argument use- less. Still some of us can remember sweet faced mothers and pink faced girls who never knew what paint and powder were; women who weren't ashamed to know how to cook and sew and keep house and at the same time made most delightful companions. At the risk of being called old fogies and hopeless re- dictionaries, we say unreservedly that if life is more sophisticated in these days it isn't much more enjoyable nor are people moro delightful than in the days when we used to gather around the melo- deon at night to sing sentimental songs (not without tears) and afterwards resals ourselves on cake and lemonade. Those orgies were not the worst that this coun- try has known, and out of them have conoe some ather decent men and women

Would Respond If Necessary

Alabama certainly looks good to me, , said John Roberts, member of the Ma tional Guard, who has been on the border since last October and is now quartered in Montgomery prior to being mustered out of federal service. The nine months of army life has cured me forever.
 "I had rather own one small lot in Ala bama than the whole state of Arizona. The weather is almost intolerabIe. The prices of foodstuffs are three times high CT than here. Matches sell for 10 cents a box and bananans sell for nickel each. Coal is SIP a ton
 ''The majority of the Alabama troops are exceedingly glad to get out of the army. The experience will no doubt do us great good, but there are very few who are ready and willing to go through the same ordeal again. The entire crowd would respond to the nations call for men, however, if war with Germany is declared''

 Between now and midsummer the government may locate it's $20,000, 900 nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals and it may be Birmingham's good fortune to secure the governments $11 ,00O,- 900 armor plate works, and that pres ently, with these things coming to pass, all the booms of former years would seem small in comparison. But whether or not the government elects to come in this direction with either or both of it's projected industries, this will be great year for large expan sion.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 @UT in westerville. O., a celebra- lO ton has just taken place to com memorate the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Benjamin R. AHamby. We are informed that great crowd was present and that copious tears were shed at the grave. We wonder if there is a single reader of the Inquirer who can connect the name of this man with any thing of importance. Possibly some of our oldest readers may recollect that he
 was the author of Darling Nellie Gray"
 once the most popular song in America,
 although we doubt if the present genera
 ton knows anything of it.
 The incident is worth mentioning simply
 to show the difference in popular taste in
 songs which has taken place in two gene- rations. Our fathers and grandfathers, and more especially our mothers and grandmothers, were much affected by the l, upersentimentality of the songs of their period. It is hard to believe that a na- ton could weep over Darling Nellie Gray" or "Lorena" or .Anie Laurie
 These are merely typical of thousands of songs which had their day and have passed. These were the days of crinoline and "Godey's Lady Book and of senti- mental novels which are forgotten and
 are unlamented.
 In these day we get our cut to popu- lar songs very largely from the vaude- vile shows or from the light operas. In that day the only public performances where such songs had vogue were at the negro minstrels, from which came "Dixie'' and other songs which still live

THE LOYALTY OF THE JEWS


 From the New York Herald.
 < America has been kind to the Jews of the world. To those who have come to these shores from the lands where they had been oppressed 1t has been haven of refuge, a veritabls new Jerusalem. To those who remain abroad in the coun- tries where religious and intellectual free dom are withheld from the Jews America has been and is an inspiration. beacon of hope whose rays have frightened tho lives of countless thousands.
 Since America has done 70 much for the Jews 1t Is pleasing to note that again they are among the first to express their fealty to this country when 1t faces a crisis. we shall be among the first to- come forward prepared to make our p4f sonal sacrifices for American national interests" says the Maccabaean. official| organ of the Federation of American| zionists.

From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star. 1A NAPOLEON at the time of his Egyp- QN tian campaign saw the star of his empire in the east. Syria had touched his imagination at that period more than France or Europe; he would be an Alexander rather than a Charle- magne. To what extent German vision had been turned in the same direction was not realized outside the whispering galleries of diplomacy until the great war it's breath to see how ambitious had been the German design of 8 Teutonc empire, or at the least Teutonic alliance that should stretch from Hamburg to the Per sian gulf
 The world caught it's breath, too, to see how nearly that design had been realized. A German railroad was building from the Bosphorus to Bagdad. It had actually been completed except for a few stretches along the Tigris and in the Taurus noun nance through the Balkan peninsula and Turkey This overland route to Persia and the east, dominated by Germany, would have been challenge to British political and commercial supremacy in it's own eastern empire.
 As it happened, the war opened in an- other theatre and that theatre has largely held the attention of the world. But while the war in Europe has been mere spectacular and has brought greater armies and more desperate battles to the public view, the struggle for Mesopota- mia far off, hidden and more obscure in details and results, has been for one of the greatest stakes for which Europe has ever fought.
 The British expedition to Mesopotamia and that of the Russians to Armenia were in the nature of vast flanking move ments which would bring them into posi- tion to attack Germany m the rear. Of this general movement the expedition to Salonfki may be taken as a part. The grand strategy of it all was to cut this Teutonic belt, sever Turkey from the central powers and thus destroy the de- sign of the so-called middle empire. In this England and Russia were equally in-

Broad Scope of

1D IRMINGHAM has had many bril- O liant music festivals but the bi- ennial convention of the National Fed eration of Music Clubs, to be held here April 15-21-an entire week-is of larger scope and of more varied in- terest than any affair combining ar tistic, educational and social features ever known in the south.
 The two orchestral concerts will be of most popular appeal, perhaps, especially since southern piano vir- tuoso and composer of distinction and international fame will appear with the orchestra; but every day will be enriched with gems of music.

Clever Introductions

There were two rather clever jokes tolasSaturday by Oscar Wells and Sydney J. Bowie during the course of their speeches introducing ex-President Taft to the Birmingham audiences said Frank L. Jenkins. MT. Wells said that he felt very much like the speaker who was interrupted. A man in the rear of the meeting called out to this speaker with the exhortation of Louder. louder!' To this another man in the background added, Yes, louder and funnier"
 Tn introducing the former chief execu- tive to the audience at the High school, MT. Bowie cleverly expressed the atti- tude of some citizens in regard to the impending war by relating joke in which two negroes figured. One negro remaked to the other that 1t looked pret- ty bad with the Germans blowing ur American ships, but the other darky re- piled that he didn't care. This caused his companion to explode. You mean to tell me that you wouldn't fight for your coun- try?' Sure, nigger I'se been living in the city so long that I don't give d. for the country was the response he got to his query.
 From the manner in which the au- diences chuckled, it was obvious that the jokes had made hit.

From Milwaukee Times.
 The rooms were beautifully deco rated with ferns and lilies of Jerusa- lem. At 6:30 p. m. an elaborate coursed dinner was served, after which time Henry Fischer gave brief rect tation of Poes great masterpiece, "The Raven"
 Standing in the center of the draw ing room he recited those wonderful lines in the most melodious of voices; gradually becoming more and more enthused with his theme. he for got time, spectators, his personal identity. as the wild hopes and re- pressed longings of his heart found vent in the impassioned words of the poem.
 To the listeners came the sounds of falling rain and waving branches; the raven rapped his dusky wings above the bust of Pallas, and the love ly face of Lenore appeared to rise be- fore them.
 So marvellous was his power as a reader that the auditors were afraid
 to draw breath lest the enchanted spell be broken.

NEGRO PROBLEM TN THE NORTH

From the Providence Journal.
 Of1HE north now has negro problem,
 according to New York's deputy
 = commissioner of charities, William J. Doherty, speaking at & business mems meeting in that city few days ago. He said that industrial changes caused by the war had resulted in 150O00 ne- groes leaving tho south, that they were unprepared and unsuited for the colder climate of the north and that their chil- dren are now taxing the capacity of the threo negro orphan asylums in New York of $S,0OO,000 year.
 A short while ago physicians appointed by the city authorities of Philadelphia to investigate conditions among the 2O.- OoO negroes who have located there dur ing the last three months reported that fully 2o0O of them are dying of pneumo- mia and tuberculosis. Weather conditions, to which they were not accustomed, over- crowded houses and lack of sanitation and proper nourishment were the causes given for the trouble. :, This does not mean, however. that Philadelphia is no place for negroes, for that city not only has more negroes than any city in the south, but it's negro population in the past has been composed of an orderly, pros percus-appearing, well-dressed class of wage earners, quite able to take care of themselves. But 1t is charged that they look down upon their shabbily dressed klnsman from tho south seeking employ ment among them. neither extending him a welcome hand nor offering him word of encouragement, but, on the contrary, inclining. to treat him with contempt when they do not openly do so.
 Reports from the south indicate that the negroes. are still Hooking northward and that labor agents are still active in several of the states Southern news papers complain that they are being lured away with the promises of higher wages and greater privileges than they have whore they are. and the newspapers seize upon every report published in north ern paper detrimental to the negro in this part of the country in order to dis courage his fellow black from leaving his southern home. The bugaboo is raised of what will happen whsn thcusands oi these negroes are taken from "dry terri tory" into communities where saloona flourish. Alcohol. it Is alleged. has been tho greatest curse to the negro race in the south.
 The latter statement is not true. The greatest curse to the negro in the south has been the cities. in which they gather l the low dives. resorts and slums Take the negro, as q whole. on the farms and
 plantations. and in the smaller villages

The Beginning of the End

Great events are moving with lighting rapidity. Russia has ben reborn; Ger many is visibly weakening; the allies are strengthening; the United States is pre- pairing for war; the railroad strike passed into history, and the supreme court has sealed the constitutionality of the Adam son law" said Henry Clews in his weekly Financial Review. All of these events are of first importance. In ordinary times they would have commanded the most intense attention, accompanied perhaps by considerable excitement As it is, this rush of developments has been taken with comparative calmness, and there was notable absence of agitation, ex- plained by the fact that Americans are prepared to face these crises and Will continue to face them as steadily as other nations have done. Unless all signs fail, we have reached the beginning of the end in the worlds greatest tragedy. Turkey is practically beaten; Austria is almost impotent; Germany is retreating, and her submarine and Zeppelin meth ods of warfare are a practical failure

where he has ample outdoor life, and as rule he is~ a pretty well behaved and self-respecting citizen. The planter or dinarily prefers him to the white man, and in proof of his naturally good char acter, is the fact that during the civil war, when wives and children were left on plantations and in villages surrounded by. their negroes, no such thing as an outrage was committed by one of them.
 To sum the situation up in a few words, the city is no place for the negro inn migrant. His place is on the farm or in the village, where he can have healthy. outdoor exercise and abundance of man. ual labor at fair wages. Under these conditions, he is usually a valuable ac- quisition to any community, and it Is for this reason that the south does not want to part with him.

Tuscaloosa is just now. beginning to grasp the real importance of being To- cated on the banks of the Warrior river,' said W. T. Edmundson, news editor of the ham yesterday. The people of our city worked and hoped for the opening of the Warrior for 50 years before it was finally an accomplished fact and they now see that their work was not in vain.
 Already many good things have come to us in the way or industrial develop ment from the river, but they are as nothing to some of the important things now being projected. The future of Tus- caloosa and the industrial development of that district is certain to be very rapid and as our resources become known, will be even greater"
