will grow callous and indifferent and re- fuse to make the necessary sacrifices. Here is the test to which we are put and here is where we must not fail Ours is not a trial of virile capacity in the field, but of strength to endure at home and will to suffer and sacrifice for the men woh are doing the actual fighting.
 God keep our people here at home from seeking to hide their sloth and seifish- ness or cowardice behind the cheap phrases they have picked up. '.Why should I care for my country? I don't own any of it, it's rich mans war, any, way. Let them do the fighting" I fear that there is a dangerous and damnabe propaganda going on engineered by sinis- ter If not German influence to poison the minds of our people,.
 The war, it is said, sooner or later sep arates the goats from the sheep. Let's do all in our power to hasten the separa- tion by making 1t as uncomfortable as possible for the coward. the loafer, the shirkers and the self-seekers.

WITH STEVENSON AT sARANAC

From the diary of Thomas Russell Sulli-
 van. who dramatized Dr. Jekyll and
 MT. Hyde" for Richard Mansfield. Pub-
 lished in Scribners Magazine.
 Of George Eliot he (Stevenson) re- marked: "She has a light hand at being tedious!'' Then he passed on to a pet idea of his. viz, that of collecting into one small volume certain Masterpieces of English Narrative" II have already tinued. And what do you think I chose first, as the finest thing of all?' guessed in vain even after his hint that the book was by one of my own country men. Then he told me that it was Rich ard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast" And after this we must have Wandering Willie's tale from Red gauntlet. the opening chapter of Great Expectations'-'Bor Journey into Finistere-one of Napier's battle scenes something from Washington Irving, the scene perhaps, from which took hints for Treasure Island." And what from Thackeray?" I asked. Something, of course but have not decided upon 1t yet"
 He praised the work of Quiller-Couch. then known only as e." also Edward Knights Cruise of the Falcon," and in the course of this talk I was struck by his use of slang expressions which were unfamiliar to me. One book he called "gaudy good,' and of one living writer he said: That fellow can write like Billy'-meaning extremely well. But do not recall to whom these phrases re- ferred. "All Sorts and Conditions of Men' and "The Unsocial Socialist" he placed on the list of his favorite modern books I asked about his own way of working.
 -Four hours day are enough" he said. and it is better, believe, to write without smoking-but I can't. Almost all my stories have been written with a break in the middle of two months or so. In this way I wrote 'Olalia 'Markheim' and The Treasure of Franchard.' 'Jekyll and Hyde was written very slowly, and much material was discarded In Treasure Island stuck fast at chapter XIV, and. after waiting a long while, finished it in hurry" How about Will O the Mill? " inquired. "Ah, that was one of my earliest things and went with great difficulty. I had not learned to write then He broke off abruptly in his talk and went back to his room. I stayed to talk for few moments with his wife, and presently we heard his flageolet. You will come to dinner, won't your" said Mrs. Stevenson. Louis will not get up he never dimes with us-but you can see him in his room afterward.''

 The Tennessee company has recently purchased several hundred lots in Fair field and is to construct thereon modern homes, with every convenience, for its employees The employees will have the right either to rent or to purchase on monthly installments.

 In the olden days, when the miners union was recognized in the Birmingham district, there was continual turmoil and strife. Walking delegates were every where and in many instances were largely in politics and wanted to deliver the union miner vote whenever there was an opportunity.
 The wages then were very low, com pared with what they are today. The miners then were housed in shacks with out sanitation, and there were but few school facilities and no amusements for the families of the miners. Today it is entirely different There are schools and guild halls and sanitation, and the miner and his family have all the facilities for enjoying life that are furnished the resi- dents of Birmingham proper.
 * *
 The Tennessee Coal, Irons and Railroad company probably employs something like one-half of all the miners in this district It furnishes them and their families with the best houses, the best doctors, the best school facilities and the most pleasant surroundings.
 This company is owned by the United States Steel Corporation. which corpora ton employs several hundred thou sand miners, furnace men, steel men and mechanics. It does not interfere with it's employees as to what church they belong to, what lodge they affiliate with or whether or not they belong to union. But 1t does refuse to recognize anyone outside of it's em- ployes and it deals with it's employees as individuals. It does not recognize what are known as union officials. The rules of the United States Steel Cor poration apply to the Tennessee Com pany; and it is a known fact that this company would close down every mine and every plant in the Birmingham dts trict before it would recognize a union organization as such. Fights have been made on it in Gary, Chicago and Pitts

Books and Magazines
 for the Soldiers

ID IRMINGHAM may we'll be proud @O of the response which has been made to the appeal for books and magazines for the boys who are go- ing into the training camps.
 The literature has been assembled at the public library and Director Carl Milan reports that they already have on hand 2500 volumes of good, clean, high-class books, and approx imately 10000 magazines, nearly all of which are of the current year and in good condition. It was a magnifi- cent response, but the need is great and further gifts will be gladly &C., cepted.
 The books and magazines are to be placed in the libraries which are to be established at Anniston and Mont gomery, and reserve supply will be kept on hand so that they can be for warded to the point most urgently in need of them.
 Good books and magazines will be a great comfort to the boys in training, and Birmingham is doing her full share toward supplying them.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE PRACTICAL
 SETTLEMENT OF THE STRIKE SITUATION HERE

iN pop news indeed is that from IGI Washington announcing that
 there will be no miners strike in this district on Monday.
 Secretary of Labor Wilson is coming to Birmingham to consult with the miners and, incidentally. to talk over matters with the mine operators
 This means that there will be no strike and that activity and industry will con tinue in this district The mine owners who are now prosperous, will undoubtedly deal squarely with their men and the na- tive and sensible miner will deal squarely with his employer.
 Much of the strife here has been stirred up by foreigners, who have come more for the purpose of creating discord than a desire to benefit the real working miners of the Birmingham district.
 The miners here are better housed, bet ter paid and surrounded with more com forts than they have ever been in the life of this district. Their living facili- ties camp surroundings, educational ad- vantages and amusements for idle hours are as perfect as in any industrial dis trict of this country. The Tennessee com pany has led the movement in this re- spect, and has made living conditions for it's employees about it's suburban mines and mills as attractive as would be a residence in Birmingham proper.
 The miners of this district now earn more money per month than almost any other class of labor, and there are as good men working in the mines of the Birmingham district as can be found in any industrial section of the country.
 
 The practical settlement of this coal miners strike will mean not only declaration of patriotism on the part of the people of the Birmingham district but 1t will mean renewal of prosperity and plenty hereabouts. It means that the people of this district propose to get to- gether and work together and share in the prosperity which other districts of this country have been taking advantage of for more than year past.
 
 The great work of construction which the Tennessee company has started here will soon mean real estate activity. Thou sands of new men of all types must come to build and operate these plants, and a large number of them will live in Bir-
