sLIGR. CORRECTION

From the Montgomery Advertiser,
 The Associated Press is the newspaper worlds Bible; but even the A. P. makes mistakes occasionally For instance: Ut was the Colonel's first visit to the White House since the day in 1909 when he said good-by to President Taft Among the first things the colonel did on returning from the river hunting trip in South America was to call on MT. Wilson and have a lemonade with his fellow author.

how best to go about assembling a big army and getting the men ready for action. But much time has been spent in planning and everything will work out as well as could be expected. The spirit of patriotism is now domi- nant. Recruiting was never so brisk as it is today. But this country's mill itary policy will never be settled right until universal training becomes law.
 The proposed measure is fair; it is democratic. Had the Chamberlain bill been adopted by the Sixty-fourth Con gress when it first came up this coun- 1 try would now have large army al- most, if not quite, ready for the field. Congress will endeavor to make up for lost time in legislating for ade- quate preparedness. The people of the United States are standing by the ad- ministration nobly. There are only a few traitors and "slackers" are few. What is especially needed at this time is old-time enthusiasm and sustained enthusiasm among the masses for re- cruiting activity.
 The British people can't understand when new victories are being reported every day The explanation is quite. sim- ple The leaders know a great deal more about what Is actually happening than the people do.

Must Be on Guard

Every loyal citizen of the United States should be on his guard now" said w. M Sorrell, a well known lawyer, yesterday. With the constanF exposure of German plots and the traitorous acts of some of our own people, it behooves us to keep our eyes open. We have more to fear from enemies within our country than from the Germans across the water.
 q do not think we have any more dis loyal citizens than the other countries engaged in the war, but due to our demo- cratic government, the disloyal Amer jeans do not hesitate to do and say things that would cause their imprisonment or death in any of the European nations. We allow many liberties in this country but when we actually get into war, I be- lieve that the government will become much stricter We may practically de- clare martial law in certain districts where trouble starts

 Ar1mual Bird Day
 In the Schools
 THE Alabama Bird Day Book, 0 1917, just from the press, is a distinct acquisition to literature. Like the little volumes of former years, it is beautifully illustrated with colored plates.
 If the department of fish and game did nothing more than provide us with the Bird Day Book it would be worth while. John H. Wallace, Jr., the com missioner, who collects the material for this publication, is known far and wide for his love of nature and espe- cially as an authority on song birds and game. Many of the charming essays in the book, although unsigned, are from his pen. They are prose poems and are as humanizing as they are informative. And the verse is se- lected with rare taste. Everything in the book-and flowers are included suggests the coming of spring, and some of the tenderest and most deli cate sentiments are found within it's covers. But the sketches of our feathered folk, as MT. Wallace calls his bird friends, have doubtless most direct appeal to the people of the south.
 w. F. Feagin, superintendent of ed ucation, in a foreword, tells us of the high esteem in which the publication is held. He says it is eagerly sought not only in our state but throughout the United States. Requests from va rious sections throughout the country testify to the value of the book
 MT. Feagin "sets apart and desig- nates' the birthday of Audubon, the south's great naturalist-F'riday May 4-as Bird Day. He urges teach CTS in the schools to make use of the information which the work presents from year to year. "This agency is doing much" MT. Feagin says, "tc conserve our birds and to preserve ir our children the sympathetic instinct toward Gods creatures which laws and statutes are powerless to incul- cate"
 This years Bird Day Book contains as usual, suggestive programme which may be varied by the teachers to suit conditions and surroundings Nothing could be more appropriate for programme recitation or reading than any one of the essays in the book ---the "Goldfinch," the "Plea of Bob White" i" "Wood Magic" the "Carolins Wren" are of ready interest.

of the air brought into form by plumes," said Ruskin in his fantasy "The air is in all it's quills, it breathes through it's whole frame and flesh, and glows with air in it's flying, like a blown flame; it rests upon the air, subdues it, surpasses it, outraces it.
 "Also, into the throat of the bird is given the voice of the air. All that in the wind itself is weak, useless in sweetness, is knit together in it's song.
 "Also, upon the plumes of the bird are put the colors of the air; on these the gold of the cloud, that cannot be gathered by any, covetousness; the rubies of the clouds, the vernillion of the cloudbar, and the flame of the cloud-crest, and the snow of the cloud, and it's shadow, and the melted blue of the deep wells of the sky-all these,  seized by the creating spirit, and woven intofilms and threads of plume; with wave on wave following and fad ing along breast and throat and opened wings; infinite as the dividing of the foam and the sitting of the sea sand; even the white down of the cloud seeming to flutter up between the stronger plumes, seen, but too soft for touch."
 Of all the Bird Day Books, the one for 1917 is perhaps the most attrac- tive.

Steel Corporation
 Liberal In Wages

&N the United States Steel corpor- ation for the generous way it treats it's employees. Last year was the cor poration's most prosperous year. It not only witnessed new high records but nothing in the history of output or earnings ever approached it. As the Associated Press stated in Wednesdays Age Herald, up to 1916 the voluntary increases in wages and salaries were granted, equal to about 33 per cent.
 The annual pay roll was increased from $176,8O0, 1864, in 1915, to $263,- 3S5, 1902 in 1916. There are now ap- proximately 250,000 employees on the pay rolls of the steel corporation's subsidiary companies and fully 90 per cent of them will benefit by the higher salary and wage schedule.
 As every advance in wages means a larger amount of money in circula- tion the Steel corporations latest raise" should tend to make the Bir- mingham district flush with money. Alabarma Great Southern
 Wins EIarriHnam Medal 1.-THE Alabama Great Southern N railway has been awarded the E. H. Hartman gold medal for 1916. This medal is given each year to the railroad with the best record for pro- tecting it's passengers and employees.
 Not one passenger was killed on the Alabama Great Southern last year and no employe lost his life in train accident. But two men, out of about two thousand employed in the railroad shops, were injured.
 The new record established by the Alabama Great Southern, an impor- tant link in the system of the South ern railway, is the lowest ever made, and the officials of this line are re- ceiving deserved congratulations Ac- cording to the system of scoring, the Alabama Great Southern received 39.79 adverse points" The nearest competitor for the medal received 11230.
 The increased safety on practically all American railroads is reflected in the confidence of the travelling public. The steel coach has been factor of no little importance in saving human life, but greater efficiency of operation and the installation of modern safety devices have been chiefly responsible.

Help The Children.

Some one has said that the cheapest
thing in the world is human life.
| When war comes, human life becomes
| of the greatest value-aS it should be
at all times. In the great cities thous-
| ands of children will die this summer
| for want of good air, good food, good
surroundings.
George L. Jones of the Henry Wat
son Children's Aid Society, Mccoy
Hall, Baltimore, believes that if people
who live in villages and on farms re-
allied how they could help prevent this
waste of child life and at the same time
serve their state and nation, in other
words, do their bit" they would write
to him on this subject.
''There are three classes Of these
children" he said. First, those that
are not sick but delicate; they need
proper food which is impossible in the
city because of the high cost of living
there. Second, those whose widowed
mothers must be away at work all day
in factory or shop. Third, those whose
fathers have enlisted in the navy or
army. There are other classes, of
course, but if we could place these
three in homes in the country, either
for the summer or permanently, it
would help US tremendously to solve
one of the pressing problems the war
has laid upon our society.
1.-The children range in age from 2
to IA years. Some were baptised in the
Roman Catholic faith and these we
prefer to place in Catholic families.
Others are Protestant children and
these should go into Protestant homes.
The society is non-sectarian, but it en-
deavors always to permit the children
it serves to remain in the faith their
parents would wish them to follow.
We have photographs of many of these
children and we can supply exact in
formation of their pareEtage. l am
sure that many families in the state
would be glad to welcome one or two
of these children. for it means saving
them to become useful citizens; where
as if they are not removed from their
present surroundings, many of them
will not survive the long hot summer,
and those that do will be less able to
fight their way to future positions of
usefulness. We are especially anxious
to save our children now that war has
come. With the sending away of great
armies of men, everyone should help
conserve our children to become strong
healthy men and women"

three score or more proprietors of sa-
Ioonsjand hotels throughout the county
Most OF them had anticipated the en-
actment of dry law of some kind, but
until Friday had felt certain that it
would not Ce effective until next May I,

Mr.. J. H. Blandford, Jr, author of the

made effective by placing the county in
the dry column at the time Washington
becomes dry city. Anti saloon forces
throughout the state aud Washington
backed him in his efforts, and at no
time were any of them in doubt about
the outcome, Large delegations from
