I've written gooey gobs of stuff About most everything Of politics and babies, The war and wedding ring;
 I've sobb ed out soulful stories
 Of poverty and love;
 I've written of the soil beneath And of the stars above. There's been no limit to the line Of stuff I'v handed out,
 Nor have I been particular Of what I wrote about.
 But, never in my widest dreams, Have I thought of such thing That 1 should e'er be called upon To write an ode to spring.

WHEN WILL WAR END?


 When do you think the war will be over?"
 A hopeless flash sweeping his coun- tenance was the result of such a query, for it seemed that he was of the opin- ion the writer should have asked God Almighty this question instead of him.
 T could tell you," he chuckled. But lit would be scoop over the other boys, and I couldn't do that" MT. Taft has the greatest of consideration for newspaper men, for he was once a re- porter himself, having served as law reporter for the Cincinnati Commercial when he was 23 years old.
 Don't you think that the war will see the overflow of the Hohenzollern dynasty?"
 T do think that Germany will be defeated, and that the overthrow of the Hohenzollern dynasty will mean peace for the world. It would seem that its retirement will be one of the demands made upon Germany when the ulti- mate settlement comes. But the defeat of Germany has not been accom- plished."
 Do you think that the United States Is preparing industrially for war, or that 1t Is awake to the seriousness of the situation?" "The United States is not prepared in hardly any manner do think that some industries are awake to the situ- ation, but suspect that the majority of them are not" "When you were Secretary of War, did you make an inventory of the in- dustries which would be available in event of war;" "No. I did not make such an inven- tory. But am of the opinion that the United States will make it's entry into the war felt by the central powers. It must not be our part to take passive Interest in the outcome of the war. Ours must be more than naval war fare"

DIFFERENT METHODS. .OF ORGANIZATIONS IN SUFFRAGE WORK l
Mrs. Jacobs States National Woman's Suffrage Asso- citation Disapproves of
 Militant Methods

The policies and methods of the two organizations of woman suffra gsts are entirely opposite, states Mrs. Pattie Ruff ner Jacobs in a letter to the editor Of The Age-Herald, explaining the differ ence between the two associations.
 The conservative group with which the Alabama suffragists are affiliated does not approve of the militant methods of the womans party headed by Miss Alice Paul, according to the letter. The heck ling of President Wilson, the picketing suffragsts which have been more or less severely condemned throughout the coun- try were committed by the group headed by Miss Paul and were condemned by the National American Woman Suffrage as sociation Mrs. Jacobs states.
 The letter follows:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In your editorial columns of March 25,
 The More or Less Militant ragists of America are taken to task, through the medium of the official organ of the Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage
 In justice to the vast majority of suf- fragists, who are doing quiet. construc tive work, permit me to call your atten- tion to the following facts:
 There are two distinct and separate national organizations of suffragists in America. One is the National American Woman Suffrage association with afil- lated branches in every state in the union and locals in every congressional dis trict; the other is the woman's party, consisting of comparatively few women. so-called militants The policies and methods of the two associations are dia- metrically opposed to each other, al though both are of course, working for the same end, namely, the enfranchise
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-25
TWO MILLION MEMBERS

The national associa ton has 1000 OC0 members; is the old "conservative' group, whose officers are pr. Anna Shaw and Mrs. Carrie C.. Catt. This associa- by both the state and federal routes; is absolutely and consistently nonpartisan. and is the organization with which the Alabama suffragists are affiliated.
 The womans party is a small group, headed by Miss Alice Paul. It advocates only the federal amendment; is partisan in practice. and is entirely responsible for the banner being displayed in the House of Representatives during Pres ident Wilson's address; for picketing the White House and numerous other in- stances of discourtesy. The womans party also toured the west, campaigning against the reelection of MT. Wilson, with what lack of success in influencing the level-headed women voters of the west, the public is already acquainted.
 This brief explanation seems to me to be especially timely, as the Alabama suffragists have been informed that the woman's party expects to come into Ala bama and other southern states during April. for the purpose of organizing branches, so it is. greatly to be desired that the public understand our differing methods.
 "GETTING SOMEWHERE"
 In spite Of certainly not because of the woman's party, the suffra gists are get ting somewhere Mrs. Dodge and the antis to the contrary, notwithstanding. In the last three months four states have made substantial gains. Ohio and North Dakota legislatures have granted pres idential suffrage to women, which are scarcely less significant victories than in IT. diana.
 When Indiana women go to the polls to vote upon their new constitution, women will be voting on their own enfranchise- ment for the first time in the history of the world. That new constitution is to contain a woman suffrage measure and under the provisions of the presidential suffrage bill just passed women have right to vote on constitutional amend mentS.
 But to us the most significant and far reaching victory yet recorded is that Arkansas, on March S. conferred what is the equivalent of full suffrage on her women. The bill empowers Arkansas women to vote at party primaries, after paying poll tax and swearing to support candidates of their party; they must also meet all suffrage qualifications required of male voters.
 The sold south is broken, so far as suffrage is concerned, and while Alabama suffragists rejoice greatly over the fact they are regretful that Alabama will not go down in history bearing the proud distinction of being the first southern state to recognize the ability, loyalty and consecration of It's women

 But does not the United States need leaders well as men?"

 'In event of war. don't you think that it would be necessary to conscript an army?"
 T would not like to say, but I do think that there ought to be universal military service"
 What measures do you think the United States should take to bring about the fall of Germay?"
 "The United, States cannot conduct an artificial war. The enemies of Germany must be our allies. We must give finan- cial support, strengthen the credit, and aid in every way the entente powers. The allies already are fighting our fight. We must ally the forces of the United States in such a manner that they will be most instrumental in de- feating Germany. But before our sol diers go in the field they should be trained and seasoned for the effort"

night, at the First Baptist church.
Mr.. Evans knows more about the
war than the majority Of war lectur.
ers. He has been on the battletlelds.
in the trenches, in tho hospitals. and
he has had excellent opportunity to
study the popular sentiment regard
ing the war in various European
countries.
In November, 1916, Mr.. Evans was
a member of the famous Henry Ford
peace expedition which went to Eur
ope for the avowed purpose Of get
ting the boys out Of the trenches be-
time: Mr.. Evans felt convinced that
1t might be possible to stop the war
comparatively soon. But when he
came TO Europe. and when he saw the
conditions prevailing throughout the
continent, he felt that the war must
be fought to the bitter end II a last
ing psace was TO be the outcome Of It.
This 10 tho viewpoint Of Mr.. Evans

peace now would be premature and
would sefve only to increase the
