Must Protect Our Own People

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Amid the many calls for funds on be- half of patriotic enterprises at this great historic crisis, there. is serious danger that our local undertaking for protection of our people may suffer to the point of defeat.
 I beg most respectfully to remind the people of Birmingham and Jefferson county that however severe the need elsewhere, the need at home must not be forgotten, but we must live in these days by a most thorough-going sacrifice. It is well to remember that our European allies, under uneXampled taxation for war purposes, have given with magnif- cent generosity not only for aid of Bel gan and French civilians, the relief of wounded soldiers and war orphans, but have more than maintained their gifts to carry enterprises such as thelr churches and their Bible society and their foreign missionary work. Our re- sources of sacrifices have hardly been tapped.
 By way of example, however, I would like to acknowledge the gift yesterday from a public school teacher in a strictly wage-earning district of $20 toward our open-air school; also the receipt of $90 raised by Rev B. Lambrdes, the Greek pastor here toward the expenses of a Greek patient, and $1 today from Fl. F. E. and generous aid from Conners-Wey- man and MT. Watts.
 The endowment of individual beds at the sanatorium by lodges, churches and business organizations to the extent or sl daily would be a great and practicable service which allow me to commend to the wide circle of your readers.
 Thanking you for the courtesy of this publication, yours cordially,
 GEORGE EAVES, Secretary.

National Research Council

From How Men of Science Will Help
 in Our War" by George Ellery Hale,
 Chairman of the National Research
 Council, in Scribner's.
 Let us see how the work of the re- search council is conducted dur1Sg time of war. The military committee brings into active cooperation the men most closely concerned with the scientific and technical problems Of the government, including those of military nature and others occasioned by the interruption of foreign com merce Questions calling for scientific research are constantly arising. They are formulated in cooperation with the secretary of the committee, who is in daily contact with the work of the military bureaus. Here is typical showing how an import ant problem is attacked.
 If vessel on the surface could de- tect the presence of a submarine or submarine mine at a considerable dis tance, her safety might be assured. This is a physical problem in which the experience of the physicist in de- vising new methods Is directly .applic- able. Several interesting possibilities suggest themselves at once. and a si- attack is accordingly launched in several university and in dustrial research laboratories. pr. Rob- ert A. Millikan of the University of Chicago, charged by the council With the correlation of researches bearing on the national defense, keeps in touch with the various investigators and brings them into contact with the secretary of the military committee and the army and navy officers inn mediately concerned, thus securing the necessary for the most effective work. Freedom of itiative is encouraged, and the participant tion of a number of competent workers, ap- preaching the problem from different points of view, is welcomed In fact, the research is conducted exactly Us large cooperative investigation in astronomy or in pure physics would be carried out. The indisputable ad- vantages derived from experience in research, from personal Knowledge of the cooperative methods of modern science, and from an acquaintance with the numerous and revolutionary advances of physics in recent years, are utilized to the fullest extent

Why Read Fiction?

John A. Sleicner, in Lesie's.
 The most exciting pages in the world s history are now being written in blood, and spread before the newspaper reader every day. They are full of pathos They tell the struggles of great nations war ring against each other-some for suprem- acy, some for human rights, and some to avenge wrongs.
 Each day before the eyes of the reader, the newspaper spreads a new chapter of
 a story of absorbing interest It is the saddest story told since that of the cru cifiXion. It is a true story. Why read fiction? Deeds of heroic achievements surpass- ing the ina gnation, written on no other pages in all the history of the world, death and slaughter, sin and suffering l beyond conception, make up story SC sanguinary that in later years amaze ment will be felt that such things could happen in the twentieth century of civil ization and progress.
 And this story, from day to day, is being read, not by a few in their libra res, not by the millions in any state or nation-but by the thousands of millions that make up the population of the globe. It is story stained with blood and tears, but it marks the progress of a new, great world movement for the bet terment of mankind, for the deposition of the despots and the transformation of oligarchies ruled by few into magnfi- cent republics ruled by the many. This wonderful page of history, this record of events surpassing all fiction, will stand immortal.
 The hope of peace of the world rests
 on the foundation that the people shall rule. When they do rule, no czar. nc
 kaiser, and no king asserting his divine right to rule, can. at his whim or caprice declare war on his neighbors and sum- mon millions of faithful followers tc march upon the field of slaughter, while he rests in security on his throne. Those who live in this epoch will have
 something to remember. II is an expert ence never to be forgotten. Follow the story from day to day and bear in rllint that the most impressive lesson it teache. | is that the people must and shall rule.

FOUR CLASSES OF
 MEN ARE FIGHTING
 FOOD REGULATION
Enemies Within Gates and Gamblers Aided by Fa- natic Theorists and Pa
 cifists, Says VrOoman

! Washington, June 9.--Assstant Secretary Vrooman of the department of agrlcul- l ture, who has returned from tour on which he observed the food situation, de- clared in a statement today he had seen much hardship and suffering, especially among the poor because of the 'crime being perpetrated against the American people by the control of food prices by disoyal food pirates"
 Everywhere l have found a growing feeling that there must soon come reck- oning with the manipulators of the nation $ food supply" he said Four classes of men are vainly trying to postpone that day of reckoning
 GLASSES ARE NAMED
 First, the impractical theorists, who on principle are so opposed to any in crease in the authority of the federal government, however temporary, that they would rather risk the safety of the nation than to sacrifice their theory on the altar of national efficiency. Secondly, the fanatical pacifists, who are unwilling to take any steps that will make this government into an efficient war machine, even after war has been thrust upon us by the greatest and most relentless military power the world has ever seen.
 Thirdly, those sordid, interruptions denizens of the business jungle who in this decisive world conflict between dem ocracy and despotism, are intent only upon filling their own pockets with the price of economic treason to the republic, and the blood money of hungry men, women and children.
 ENEMY WITHIN GATES
 "Fourthly, the enemy within our gates, dsoyal citizens who, with treason in their hearts and a lying pretense of loyal ty on their lips are seizng on every trifiing detail of proposed defensive leg islation as a pretext for a bitter opposi- ton to everything that will help us to a quick and decisive victory.
 "The other day in Chicago a Polish priest told a government official that dur ing the past two months five women mem bers of his congregation either had gone insane or had committed suicide because of their inability to feed their children. stand in wonder and admiration before the patience and forbearance of the American people. Fortunately they feel that the federal government at Washing ton which has done so much for them in the recent past, is going to take care of them now. Out of confidence that Congress is going to give the President power to protect the people from spoila- ton from food sharks is born calm tolerance under injury such as none but a lenient people like ours would ever evince This is the sort of tolerance that led Germany to believe that it had no limits.
 Woe to the food gamblers and their champions if they make the same mis- take.''

SLAYER OF BROTHER PARoLED

killed his brother while intoxicated, and never knew that he had taken life was granted a parole by Governor Henderson Saturday Bridges had served since 191 on 20-year sentence. He contended that he never knew he had killed his brother and has never been able to remember any thing of the time when he fired the shot.
 Solicitor F. Lloyd Tate of Elmore, who prosecuted the case, asked for the parole on the ground that Bridges earnings are needed to support his own family, the family of the brother whom he killed and the family of his father

FEDERAL AGENTS
 LOOKING ASKANCE
 AT ALABAMA TOTAL
Registration of State Falls 34,967 Short of Estimate and Many Slackers
 Are Suspected

Washington, June 9.-(Special) )-Ala- bama is one of several states which must prove itself innocent of having failed to do its duty on Registration Day. At the present time there is black mark against the name of the state. Senator Underwood believes, however that as soon as the department of justice looks carefully into the situation. it will be found that Ala bama's record is good. At any rate, the department of justice has instructed it's agents to seek out slackers in Alabama. The government estimated that PA, 795 reg istrants would be produced in Alabama whereas the total, as certified today by Governor Henderson, was 1l9,S2S, or 34,967 short of expectations.
 GOVERNMENTS CONTENTION
 The government contends that it could not be wrong to such great extent. When the argument was advanced that possibly the exodus of negroes accounted for the discrepancy between figures be- fore and after registration, the govern ment retorted that according to reports, in certain white" counties, negroes de- ported themselves with more patriotism than the whites. According to these un- official figures, in the city of Birming- ham and the county of Jefferson, where the whites are greatly in excess of the colored population, negro registrants out numbered white registrants.
 ESTIMATE UNFAIR
 If these figures are verified, the gov- ernment will assume that something, somewhere, is wrong" Alabamians in Con- gress contend that 1t was absurd for the government to estimate how many men state would register and expect the state to justify the estimate.
 One state, Wisconsin, exceeded the gov ernment estimate by Il 900, thus indicating the doub tful accuracy of such estimates. Just one state among those which have reported total figures failed to a greater degree than Alabama to meet government estimates. That state was Mississippi, which was more than 3S0O0 short.
