BIRMINGHAM's GROWTH

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 A revised United States census esti- mate gives Birmingham population of PIP, ,436 making, as the Mobile Regis ter remarks, "Alabamas first city the second city of the south, and taking from Atlanta her proud position of Elm pire City of this section.' The people of Alabama take no little pride in the remarkable growth and promise of the states greatest city.
 When 1t Is remembered that the census of 1910 gave Birmingham population of only 1s2eS5, we can begin to grasp the immensity of the Magic City's growth in seven years.
 And Birmingham is just now finding her gait. The Steel corporation re- gently authorized the expenditure of s1l GOO, ,o00 in the Birmingham district on development projects And other invest ments are in contemplation all the time in Birmingham.
 The war gave Birmingham great lift but Birmingham's growth is as- sured even in the days of peace.

Red Cross Payments


 T find there is still considerable in- quiry as to how and where the Red cross payments should be made" said W. H. Manly, treasurer of the fund.
 The very large number of subscrip- tions and the consequent large ex- pense of communicating with them by mail, as well as the enormous amount of labor and time involved, makes it de- sirable to reduce as low as possible the number of special appeals to be made for these payments
 If you find it consistent to again call on the public to show their patriotism and interest in this work by prompt payment and consequent elimination of expense of postage. it would be quite de- sirable. It would also be important to emphasize:
 'First-That subscriptions are pay able in four equal instal1ments, due on the 1st of July, August September and October
 'Second-That all checks should be payabzle to Red Cross War Fund. ''Third-Remittanees should be sent to w. H. Manly, care Birmingham Trust and Savings company. Birmingham, Ala

STRETCHED BEARERS EASY JOB

By Patrick McGill, Irish writer serving
 with the Irish London Brigade.
 1T ONDON-The battalion was resting
 in a village far behind the S trenches, and Fenton, newly out discovered that a rest is period of sweat and hard labor. The sun shone as only the sun of France can shine, and, of course, Fenton roasted. He got up in the morning at o'clock, brigade time, and formed up with the other men outside his billet. These men were gen. orally inclined to take a gloomy view of things at that hour, and vowed that brigade time skipped two hours at night and found them again when on parade. That was the beginning of day which might be called fairly strenuous, and Fenton, who was still new to things, wondered what it was all for-since it wasn't fighting-and whether everybody worked as hard as he did.
 Now, among others who lived in his billet there were two men, and these men seemed to labor little. They had no bayonets to burnish, no rifles to clean, no ammunition to carry. When other men were out they stepped inside, and they were in when Fenton returned from parade. Once when he was en- gagged in mimic attack on a wood he came across these two men in company with several others, and all were lying in the shade of trees smoking cigar cites and listening to an address which the M o. was delivering Fenton had been hard at work all morning. His legs were tired, his shoulders ached, the sweat poured down his face in tiny rivu- let's He had no time to lie in the bearers!
 It was Fenton's first spell in the fir ing line and the trench in which he found himself was a comparatively quiet one, but in bad repair; so no end of work had to be done there. Parapets had to be built, saps had to be strengthened, wire entanglements had to be laid, and so on In addition to tasks like these, there were ration fatigues. water fatigues and fatigues for carrying up ammunition and tools. Fenton was a good, willing worker, and while he labored he watched the two stretcher bearers and decided that they had very quiet life. One of them was a thick set man of medium height, who seemed to be alwaysElaughing and smok- ing cigarettes. His name was Rogers
 An easy job yours said Fenton to him on the afternoon of the second day.
 Not so bad' said Rogers with smile Next time there's vacancy I'll let you know"

tackled, captured a German trench and held 1t. Some men, a few of the most reckless spirits, went bit beyond the trench, but were forced to fall back again leaving number of wounded be- hind them on the ground. It was then that Fenton, ensconced in the trench, saw the stretcher bearers at work, saw them going out into the open field of danger, tending the wounded and carrying them in, not only to the trench, but back to the dressing station at the rear.
 The way was one of peril, but the men, Knowing their duty, never hesitated. Once, twice. three times, Fenton saw Rogers and his mate pass across the trench carrying the limp figures of the wounded on their stretchers. And Rogers always bore on his face a good natured smile. He seemed to be enjoy ing his job.
 When darkness fell Rogers came into the trench, but his mate was not with him.
 I've lost him. he said, and want somebody to take his place, volunteer There's only one more wounded man out in the front now, so I want to get him in. Who'll come with me?"
 "Fll go," said Fenton, and he went.
 Rogers seemed to be very weary On the way out he came to a halt several times and once, even, he sat down. I'm a bit tired" he said. But I'll soon buck up. This mans the last; then I'll have rest"
 They reached the wounded man and in the dark it was impossible to distinguish his features He was breathing heavily and his face looked very white.
 Hes unconscious" said Rogers. He's on the stretcher; my mate helped me on with him, then he got hit"
 .'Is he dead, your mater" asked Fen ton.
 Rogers pointed at something dark which lay on the earth near the stretcher
 My mate," he said in a low voice. Then. You take the head, Fenton, and I'll take the legs; they're lighter, and I'm a bit weak
 The journey in was tortuous. The bull lets whistled round the mems legs and once or twice the handles of the stretch CT slipped from Rogers hands. Then both men would halt for a second, draw breath, and without speaking a word continue their journey.
 They got into the dressing station about midnight, and then Fenton discov- cred two things which caused him 10 open his mouth in wonder The man on the stretcher was a German. They had risked their lives to succor the enemy. And Rogers was woundeA. When his mate got killed he himself had got hit in the shoulder with a shrapnel bullet.

NN 2 ASHINGTON, July 13.-(Spe- WNW cial)-Spandau, the munitions
 v v factory center of Purssia, and sometimes characterized as the citadel of Berlin,' is described in the following geography bulletin of the National Geo. graphic society:
 Ut is, of course, impossible to sur,nise as to the extent of the damage caused by the recent explosion in a hand d-gren- censorship on news of such disasters is very rigid. There are few richer fields for explosions in the German empire, however, tha nat Pandau, where, prior to the war, there were more than 200 acres of government arsenals, gun fac- tories, and powder plants, employing more than 5000 workmen. The extent of these military works has, of course, been vastly increased since the summer of 1914.
 When the war began Spandau had a population of more than S5,000, having nearly trebled in size since 1885. The town is situated on naturally swampy ground, at the COHlluellCS Ol tHC iiNCiS oPiCO and IIavel, the latter having been greatly improved for navigation in re- cent years. The distance by rail to Ber- lin, which lies to the southeast. is seven and half or Il miles, according to the railway station in the capital at which the traveller detrains. As a matter of fact, the two cities are practically con- tinuous, Charlottenburg forming the connecting link. Both the Berlin-H Ham burg and the Berlin-Hanover railway lines pass through Spandau
 "Sandau's history begins far back in medieval times It received it's civic rights during the first half of the thir- teenth century, and was strongly forti- fled in the sixteenth century. but was unable to withstand an attack from the Swedes in 1885. During the Napoleonic era 1t succumbed to the French. After the war of 1870 the Germans thought it advisable to strengthen the fortifica- tions, but subsequently, many of the de- fences were razed.

 -Four or five miles northeast of Span dau is the famous castle of Tegel, the family home of the Brothers Humboldt Alexander the great naturalist and trav- eler, and Karl Wilhelm, the diplomat ist, philologist, and man of letters-both of whom are buried in the castle grounds.
