From the Pittsburg Post.
 OT1HE little daughter of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette was only Il S years old when the French revolu-
 ton took place, but she was old enough to fully realize the awful experience
 of those days In all her after life
 she suffered from the hideous memories
 of the fate of her family, and was
 always melancholy.
 The little Maria Theresa Charlotte
 was with her family in the temple till
 December, 1795. She was then exchanged
 for some French deputies who had been
 given up to the Austrians by Dumourer.
 Her heart was torn with anguish when
 forced to leave those so dear to her
 but she was sent to Vienna.
 One of the relatives of her mother
 had bequeathed to her the sum of sS0.0OO, she lived through her girlhood. When
 she was 21 she was married to her
 cousin, the Duke of Angouleme. Two years later the political conditions
 in Russia made 1t necessary for the
 Bourbons to escape from the country,
 and they went to Warsaw for a time.
 But the Emperor Alexander allowed
 them to return to Mittau, where they re-
 mained till Napoleon's conquest forced
 them to seek safety In England. They settled at Hartwell. and from there
 went to France when called again to
 the throne
 Then came Napoleon's return from
 Elba, and at this time the duches and
 her husband were at Bordeaux. She took a strenuous part in trying to keer
 Bordeaux faithful to the King, so much so that Napoleon admired her. He saio aftcrward that the Duchess of Angou- leme was the only man in her family Forced to seek safety in flight they went again to England. then lived fol a time in Ghent. Belgium, and when Napoleon's downfall came. the duchess went back to Paris with the Bourbon
 King.
 The reign of Charles x ended in revo- lution, and Louis Philippe became the citizen King. Again the family went into exile. first to England and then to Austria. where they spent the re- nainder of their lives.
 The Duchess believed firmly in the d. vine right of Kings. She was forced tc realize that certain concessions must be
 made to the people, but she felt that those concessions must be made by royal decree. It Is strange that her point of view changed so little through years ot experience and trials.
 The duke, her husband, son of Charles 1 x, was of little service during her fath- | CTS reign He believed his one duty as heir to the throne was to obey the King and not suggest measures in opposition to the royal judgment He lacked force of character and the necessary firmnes. | to aid in directing public matters. l Few lives have been so stormy as tha of this daughter of Marie Antoinette
 She had her mothers imperious wnl without the singular charm that ofter
 softened the effect of this in the Quee. | When the conviction was forced upoi | her that the Bourbons could no longe

Vants Moral Army And Will Have It

N ECRETARY OF WAR BAKER is g determined to have as far as pos ible an army of good morals. His
 fficial letter to the governors of tates asking their earnest co-opera- ion in keeping training and mobiliza- lion camps free from immoral sur roundngs has the right ring. As the great fighting force of the United States will be made up of young men, a large percentage of them with habits Ap the formative or plastic stage, the
 r department is particularly desir-
 of keeping them out of the way of

TOGETHER

From the New York Times
 In January, 1902 there was printed in the Independent, and reprinted in the Times, the following verses by the late Alfred Austin, then poet laureate of Eng land. They have new interest at this time.
 Who say we cherish far-off feud,
 Still nurse the ancient grudges? Show me the title of this brood
 Of self-appointed judges;
 Their name, their race their nation, clan.
 And we will teach them whether We do not as none others can,
 Feel, think, and work together! Both speak the tongue that Milton spoke,
 Shakespeare and Chatham wielded, And Washington and all his folk When their just claim was yielded. Tn it both lisp, both learn, both pray.
 Dirge death, and thus the tether Grows tighter, tenderer, every day,
 That binds the two together. Our ways are one, and one our aim, And one will be our story,
 Who fights for Freedom, not for fame, From Duty not for glory. Both stock of the old Home, where blow Shamrock, and rose, and heather, And every year link arms and go Through it's loved haunts together. Should envious aliens plan and plot 'Gainst one and now the other They swift would learn how strong the knot Binds brother unto brother. How quickly they would change their tack And show the recreant feather, Should Star-and Stripe, and Union Jack, But float mast-high together.
 Now let us give one hearty grfp, As by true men is given, And VOW fraternal fellowship That never shall be riven; And with our peaceful flags unfurled. | Be fair or foul the weather Should need arise. face all the world,
 And stand or fall together

Steel Corporation [ and This District


 G NICE the United States supreme AU court has determined to have the so-called trust suits reargued be- fore handing down a decision it will be a year or more before the status J of the Tennessee company in it's rela- tion to the Steel corporation is finally settled. It is understood that the question of dissolving the corporation will be in abeyance until after the war. That may possibly mean several years. In view of the enormous de- mand for steel products it is believed that Chairman E. H. Gary and his associates on the executive committee ofthe corporation will proceed in the 2 near future to extend their plants in , this district on a large scale. It is 5 known that in the event the decision of the Trenton court had been af- firmed by the supreme court, which was in favor of the defendent, the cor poration had it's plans perfected to begin new era of construction here. The producing capacity of the plants now in operation would have been rfeatly increased and several new lihes of manufacture would have been undertaken.
 \ These things may come to pass without further delay. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Baltimore Manufacturers Record, in an open correspondence with Chairman Gary, is urging such policy. As MT. Ed monds says in telegram to Judge
 ary of recent date: "An announce lent by you that your company would immediately begin the spending f s25,Oo0,oO0 for the enlargement of 2 your Alabama plants would be hailed with great delight and be worth to your company and to the country many times the investment, even if }. you never got dollar out of the money thus expended"
 Judge Gary in his last message to fMr. Edmonds says: "We have not yet 1fully developed our plans, and are not Eready to make any public statement. EIf, and when we may, it would be only flair to give the same to the public generally. We realize fully our pa- triotic duty to the government and also we have sincere desire to ac- commodate the wishes of the people of Alabama so far as we consistently can."
 This is significant and gives en- engagement to those who have been
 rirTg and expecting to see the cor
 ration add many new units to it's
 lendidly managed properties in Ala

Small Industries Welcomed

"The Chamber of Commerce Is on the right trail when they begin to go after small industries. and this will prove a master stroke for the cham Der, as eventually they will have enough of them to amount to more than anyone would think, when they compare the small ones, and what it takes to get them, to the bigger things that the Chamber has fought so hard for, and then lost on account of some unforeseen obstacle, over which the Chamber has had no control" said Murray Brown.
 '"The Buster Brown hosiery mill was abolished here a few months ago, largely on account of the Chamber. Now they are going to try to locate a plant here to manufacture clothing for the government I understand they are advertising for experienced labor and I believe there is enough to be had here in Birmingham to operate the plant. T. hope and believe their venture will succeed"

Reisgtratiom Day
 A SoleHram Occasion

10 BIRMINGHAM will observe June 5 D in the proper spirit. This day will be momentous in American his tory. It is fitting that the citizens of this country be impressed with the sacrifices we must make in the war with Germany.
 We have entered upon the greatest struggle the world has ever known and it is apparent now that America will play a decisive part in it. The hope that the war will be ended be- fore we can exert our full strength should not be entertained. The war may continue for years, and if the allies are victorious it will be due solely to America. We have given our millions, but something more precious than dollars will be needed to win. The young manhood of Amer ica must be sent to the firing line. France and England have already done their utmost. At what seems to be the eleventh hour America has come to the rescue. Thinking men know what that means. Even if Rus sia can be depended on to support the allies with all the resources at

Rural Impressions

People who live in towns and in the more enlightened rural communi- ties, those who take daily and weekly papers, and thereby keep up with the momentous events of the world at the present time, cannot realize what abject denforalization has taken place in some of the real 'backwoods sec tions since the United States entered the war" said Hardy Burt. manager of the Florence hotel
 "A friend of mine brings a wonder full story from Biloxi When there a few days ago, lone woman drove an OK team into town for a load of provisions. She said her menfolks were afraid to come, as they had heard that Uncle Sam was nabbing everyone that wore brooches and send ing them directly across the water to fight the Dutch'''
 'In this same community two years ago. says my friend, a report was current that all the fish In the At lantic ocean were dying because so in on the European side.
 Tt is hard to believe that any of our people in this reading age are so ignorant. and it is great blessing that these backwood comunfties are very scarce and do not by any means represent the state, or even any coun- ty of the state"

Street Tax n Burden

T think If the city commission IS at all interested in aiding the labor situation in and around Birmingham at this time they should relieve the poor white man and negro who has to work for daily wage of the burden of s5 per year for street taxes" said Roy Huffman.
 This is certainly 9 hardship on all the negroes, to say nothing of the poor white man with family, who Is not capable of making more than $2 day at the best, and I think that some act on the part of the city in the premises at this time would certainly be ap- preciated by the men who are depend- ent upon labor for the success of their business. as well as for the laboring man who absolutely has not the money to spare"

BalGour Has Good
 Word for Congress

M J. BALFOUR, the British for 1No eign secretary, who headed the war mission to the United States, said in his farewell address to the America people, after his visit of six weeks, that what had been "accom- plished in these forty days was most remarkable" He had a good word for Congress, too. Referring evident ly to some of the sharp criticisms of our lawmaking body for not moving faster, MT. Balfour said: "It is quite true that the executive government has been delayed by the fact that cer- tain measures placed before Congress took time to pass-some of them have not yet passed-but who is it that supposes that representative assem- plies are going to make great and new departures in public policy solely at the waving of wand?" What made the British statesman's remarks ali the more striking, perhaps, was the fact, as he pointed out, that he had lived with representative assem- plies all his life and thought the work of Congress on this occasion had been done with commendable speed.
 The New York World summarizes the most important things accom- plished for the allies during the six weeks stay of the British and French envoys: Loans totalling $745, ,OOO, ,O0O; decision reached to send division of United States regulars, a regiment of marines and nine regiments of engi- neers under command of Major Gen. eral Pershing for service in France as soon as possible; expediting of the American ship-building programme; the turning over of seized German ships to the French, Italians and Rus sians; joint allied buying commits sion, with headquarters here; full CO., operation with the British blockade system, including employment of United States consuls in Holland and Scandinavia to oversee the rationing of those countries; definite under standing between the United States and Canada for controlling the wheat market.
 Many important things were tenta- lively agreed upon, including diplo- nlatic arrangements for the future. Among the subjects virtually agreed upon was the freedom of Bohemia as an independent slavic kingdom. It is now a part of Austria.
 Balfour returns home not only heartened himself, but prepared to make speech in the Commons that will hearten all the allies.

tering the military service are to be safeguarded against all kinds of evil The army is to be no place for a youth to SOW his "wild oats" or man of mature years to indulge in vicious pleasures.
 It should be easier to maintain a wholesome environment in the army now than 1t was in the civil war. In the first place the Young Mems Chris tian association and other institutions of religious utilization are now highly organized. The leaders of the army branch are thoroughly trained for their work. In the next place chap lains are believed to be more zealous in looking after the spiritual welfare of the men being equipped for the fir ing line. And finally young men themselves are less given to evil ways than was the case fifty years ago. Moral standards are higher.
 The time will never come this side of the millennium when everybody will be good. There will always be some badness. But there has been a great improvement among young men.
 Parents of boys who are becoming soldiers can but feel grateful to Sec retary Baker for his solicitude for the habits of the men in camp and for the steps he is taking to conserve character and good habits.

Great Community Gatherinr

Perhaps the most democratic gather ing that has ever gotten together in Bir- mingham for the purpose of enjoying music (unless 1t was the community sing ing at Capitol park during the bienniaD will assemble at the Jefferson theatre Monday evening, when the combined choruses of the Euterpean and Lyric clubs of the Central and Ensley High schools will for the first time give com bined concert at downtown theatre D said Miss Virginia Handley.
 Tn previous years each club has pre- scented individual concerts in it's own high school. thus limiting more or less ties.
 This year patrons and friends of both the high schools will have easy access to the Jefferson theatre, which will un- doubtedly be packed to it's capacity. With such beginning it will not be long before an auditorium will be abso- lutely necessary to meet the growing de- mand for community concerts Perhaps few schools in the country get more CO., operation in gathering a big enterprise than do the Birmingham high schools, through their splendid superintendent, Dr. J. H. Phillips.
 "In speaking of the concert Monday evening, Dr. Phillips said; Tt is the best thing the schools have yet undertaken making music the mutual tie to bind the interest of the entire community to- gether.'"
