THE UEVGlEINTLE READER

thus 'purchaseth his own peace" after the manner of militant pacifism, by a jargon of objuration, at once so pie turesque and so comprehensive that, con- pared with it's mouth-hlling bombast, the curse of Ernulphus seems a monitory most lurid invectives of up-to-date par tisanship, a wet-feathered clucking Be- fore the ungentle reacor can open his supposedly poisonous lips, he is dubbed ''an envious windsucker," "a mad dog raging against all men," "a squint-eyed ass,'' "a swollen toad;" and the unhappy race of reviewers becomes in turn ''the swinsh crew of railing Zoilus and houting Momus, to whom it is easier to deprave all things than to amend anything them selves," "a dungy, muddy scum of ab- ject thoughts and envy and raging hate" "a crab-faced cankered carlish chuff, within whose hateful breasts malice bides, rancor broils and endless envy wit to the rack, whose noses are ever like swine, spelling and roofing up the Muses
 gardens, and their whole bodies like moles, as blindy working under earth to cast any hills upon virtue" The last phrases are sturdy Ben Jonson's own; and with the like scurrilous revilements of the critic rail other Titans--Chapman
 Marston, William Browne and their peers. Anticipatory abouse of the critical reader soon hardens into a literary tradition.

Must Have Quick Action

George Huddeston, representative of the Birmingham district in Congress will leave Thursday for Washington He wants to arrive there in sufficient time to consider various pressing matters and to aid the democrats in reorganzng the House.
 q hope that it might be possible for the democrats to organize the House so that there may be no delay in consider ing matters which the President will pre- sent to Congress-" said MT. Huddleston yesterday. Whether the democrats will be able to do this or not rests with five so-called independents. I feel that we are reasonably sure of two of them, but lit is matter of conjecture how the others will ally themselves.
 T am sorry to say that three of the five have always sided with the repub- licans on almost every issue They have been roundly abused at times by the democratic section, and it would be sur prising to see them change,
 However, they may look at the situa- tion from patriotic viewpoint and SUD- port the democrats. The nation is fac ing a crisis and action must be quick and patriotic"

Not Lacking in Patriotism

T was very much surprised and in- censed at the resolutions regarding service for the country adopted at the alleged meeting of the Birming- ham Trades Council Sunday" said j. R. Stanley, member of the Typograph- ical union, yesterday. "The charge that the rich and the prominent people would not respond to the call of their country is certainly not backed up by history either of the past or the pres ent war
 Tt will be recalled that the first to respond in England were the flower of their country, and they had vol unteer system then as we have now. Almost to man the graduates of Oxford and Cambridge went to the front and maty of the leading fam lilies had practically every young man of the family wiped out during the first year or two of the war The same was true of our own civil war
 If the United States is called on to raise an army of million men or more there need be no doubt that the response from the leading families will be quite as general as from those who make these demands that all people of means be wiped out before others are called to the colors In every crisis of every nation, of course. there are men uhpatriotic enough to endanger their country in an effort to iniure someone against whom they have an imaginary grudge."

HARDING OF ALABAMA

speech of MT. Harding made deep inn cles of the country, for the course the government and the banking interests of the country are to follow.
 Congress" said MT. Harding, "can provide very speedily the surest means of defense by enacting law enabling the who are fighting for the same cause. It is my personal opinion that the govern ment, in this contingency should extend to the allied powers, credit of 1,000 000,- 000, taking as security their own obliga- tions. That would be an effective method Iof defense It would protect us from foreign invasion and from a premature peace to which we were no party. If we secure that measure of protection we can look the future in the face. Everything else has been discounted. No shock can arise for which the public is not pre- pared"
 There Is in this suggestion the soundest of judgment and common sense The al lies are struggling under the financial burdens of this war; they do not need men as much as they need money. A bil- lion dollars would erect wall between us and nvasion until we could prepare that army which should have been in the course of preparation two years ago. The remarks of MT. Harding aroused enthusiasm among the members of his large audience of bankers. They had heard a notable utterance and they felt that the policy of the President had been guardedly revealed. They approved it heartily, and the following day the New York bankers began to take steps to sup port the administration and to support ithis particular policy.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

If you want to get a man excited tell him that you saw his name in the paper one day last week.
 One bad thing about credit is that it Is hard to like people when you owe them for things that you have bought and used up.

 There is always hope for the man who feels like an ornery skunk when he is guilty of a mean trick
 A husband Is usually brute who be-
 ieves that his wife can get sick every time the doctor needs xne money.

FASHIONS AND WAR

From the New York World.
 The embattled ladies of the Hughes alliance, with no notion of being left out of the hurry of preparedness, have be- gun a spring drive on gowns and milll- nerv. In critical times they urge women to keep dress economical, to frown on ex- travagant changes in the wardrobe and devote the money thus saved to the needs of the nation.
 All this may presently be done on far
 wider scale than the alliance plans. The way to keep people from spending their
 money foolishly during war is to take lit away from them by taxation. What inc government overlooks in this direc- tion the heightened cost of living will, for a time at least absorb. Ladies who now prefigure themselves or others as weakly hesitant between love of hat and a fraction of a federal bond may find bread and cheese putting into the debate Another thought might urge caution No matter how thoroughly the nation may rake the taxation field, there are al ways some people who have money tc 1 waste. The Hughes alliance should be- ware it's possible influence upon the lucky ones. If it's ringing appeal succeeds as
 did it's efforts to carry California for the republican party, we may be in for wilt
 and wilfull wallow in the most ostenta.

Recruiting For
 Army and Navy

THE urgent appeal for men for
 J the United States navy should meet with immediate response. In time of peace and quiet recruits are needed for both army and navy; but the need is not pressing then. It is only when the country is facing a crisis that special efforts are made to fill up the ranks.
 The President, through the Secre- tary of the Navy, is calling for a full enlistment in our sea fighting estab- lishment, up to S7,000 men, the maxi mum authorized by Congress. The number in service now is only 67,000. As Secretary Daniels says the navy offers exceptional advantages to young men of "stuff and ambition D
 Patriotism is a characteristic of American men, young and old, and able bodied young men should hasten to make their way to the nearest re- cruiting station and offer their serv- ices to the country. The full quota should be enlisted within the next ten days.
 The moral effect of a prompt and eager response to the Presidents call would be worth a great deal to the United States. It would be a splen- did inspiration. These are times when every manly man is on his mettle. The country will always be proud of it's patriotic youth, and it will have cause to be especially proud of them now.

EverybOdy's Loyal

I believe there is very little pro-G Ger man sentiment in the United States" said Richard Fries yesterday. T have spent the past several weeks in the east, in Washington, New York and other large cities, and I found very little exhibition of such sentiment. While people every where seem to think that there will be war, they do not belive that there will be much interior trouble Citizens every where are loyal to the Stars and Stripes and to Woodrow Wilson. There is a strong broadly sentiment first After that the people are sorry for the German people, but bitter against the German government"

Fine Food Fish
 and Many Recipes

 0NHE sablefish, alias "black cod," O is we'll worth knowing about.
 The department of agriculture and the United States department of com- merce vie with each other in con- tributing useful knowledge to the American public, and especially knowledge that has to do with food values and the cost of living. The agricultural department, in it's earlier days, concerned itself only with large problems of husbandry, but now noth- ing that spells food is too small for it. The kitchen garden as we'll as the big farm receives it's eager attention.
 When the department of commerce was first established it dealt chiefly with manufactures and export and im- port statistics. It maintained bureaus of interest to vendors of food, but they were not well to the front It is diff ferent now and the department pre- sided over by Secretary Redfield is fast rising in general esteem.
 Economic circular No. 23, brochure written by Deputy Commissioner H. F. Moore and sent forth by the de- partment's bureau of fisheries, should have wide circulation, because it tells of one of the finest of food fishes, un- til now little known, and a great va riety of recipes. This attractive little pamphlet will catch the eye of every cook and caterer and likewise the family that appreciates good living , at moderate cost. This sablefish
 which Mir. Moore fully describes, has a venerable pedigree in the old world
 but it was not discovered in the west
 ern hemisphere until 1911, when i
 was making itself at home in tn,
 waters of Alaska. But it is only nov
 that its quality has been approved by hotels and restaurants and b,

 Only comparatively few people ol the. Pacific coast had been eating tn sablefish. Why the masses did no

Havoc Wrought by
Germans In France


 TNHE devastation wrought by the N Germans in their retreat through territory evacuated in north ern France is appalling. Their con- duct is like that of barbarians infuri- ated by the failure of their plans, who are wreaking vengeance, not only on the old men, the women and children of ruined villages, but all objects, ami mate as well as inanimate, that they ]. can damage or destroy.
 Blowing up bridges, entrenchments and points of vantage is eXcusable. Even the destruction of buildings that might serve an enemy could be con- doned, but the German idea seems to be to leave behind wilderness, turn ing one of the richest and fairest sec tions of France into veritable desert.
 According to protest recently made by the French government to all neutral countries, "No motive de- manded by military necessities can justify the systematic devastation of public monuments, artistic and his torical, as well as public property, accompanied by violence against per sons. Cities and villages in their en- tirety have been pillaged, burned and destroyed; private homes stripped of all furniture, which the enemy has carried off; fruit trees have been torn up or rendered useless for fu- ture production; streams and wells have been poisoned"
 To add to the distress of the inhab- itants who were not taken away into captivity to toll for the Germans, a limited food supply was left behind, while food provided for the war vic tins by neutral countries, among them America, was seized for the German army.
 The stock plea of Germany is that she is fighting for existence, but that plea will not excuse her in the eyes of the neutral world. Her ruthlessness on land and sea has been too great, too far-reaching. She is not matching say agery with savagery. Her misdeeds are greater than those charged to all the other belligerents since the wal started.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 N LABAMA contributed one of the
 IA\ best assets to the Wilson admin S e@ istration when w. P. G. Harding, the Birmingham banker, went to Washing ton to accept place on the federal re- serve board While he was widely known and while his talents were appreciated In his native state, MT. Harding was not recognized as a national figure, when the President summoned him to Washington to assist in establishing the federal re- serve bank.
 MT. Harding has now become one of the outstanding figures in the Wilson administration. He has been put forward on practically every occasion, when the administration needed a spokesman on it's financial and economic policies. His sound reasoning, his clear understand financial business and the ability with which he puts forward his conclusion have won him now a national reputation. The financial circles of the country have come to look upon him as one of the ablest and one of the most valuable men, that has dealt with the nations finances.
 MT. Harding spoke Tuesday night before the Quill club of New York and his au- dience included some of the most power full and influential men of the country. While no direct statement was made that MT. Harding spoke as the financial rep resentative of the government on the out break of war, there is no doubt but that he was selected by the administration to present it's views to the country on the lie would play in financial way in help ing to bring the war to a close The

ture and manufactures, mines and quarries. And between decades the bu- reau makes special statistical in- quiries.
 Liberal appropriations are called for, and it will be well worth Con- gress considering the question of making a quinquennial count of popu- lation, as it already takes an indus trial census every five years.
 In order to have correct basis for mortuary statistics ten states take a complete census in the middle of each decade. If the government were to ex- tend it's operations and take cen sus every five years, those ten states would be spared the expense and the whole union would have the satisfac- tion of knowing just how each state, county and city stood, as to the num- Der of inhabitants contained in each unit.
 In the last decennial census the bu- reau, for the first time, made correct tabulation of industries-large and small-by districts known in popular terms, such as the Pittsburg district and the Birmingham district. It may be assumed that this plan will be con- tinued. And it would be we'll if the government provided for a larger force of experts to do this work, so that the data could be gathered and assembled within a year of the gen eral census. It was in the fall of 1912 when the Birmingham districts in- dustrial figures were published.

Congress and the
 Census of 1920

M s the Sixty fifth Congress will GN have to provide for the taking of the next decennial census-the fourteenth--it is of more than ordi- nary concern that the census commit tee of the House be made up of rep resentatives of breadth of view and constructive tendencies. The impor- tance of the census is greater now than ever before.
 The first cesus was taken in 179O "under the supervision of the Presi- dent" Subsequent censuses to and in cluding 1840 were taken under the supervision of the Secretary of State. Since then census bureau, at first a branch of the interior department, later transferred to the department of commerce and labor, and later still the department of commerce has been < in charge of the work. It was in 1902 that Congress passed a bill mak. ing the census office permanent bu- reau of the government.
 In the early days of the republic about all the census bureau did was to enumerate the population every ten years and gather statistics about place of birth of each person counted Tho work gradually expanded and to- day 1t includes population, agricul

Does Right Thing

If anybody doubted that the gov ernment intends to do the right thing by the members of the National Guard convincing proof to the contrary was furnished in this offiee," said Post master R. B. Smyer. "One of our car riers, John w. Sorrell. was given leave of absence from his post here to go to the Mexican border with Battery A, of which he was member When he returned to Birmingham we wrote to Washington, asking that he be rein stated. And when we received the or ders for reinstatement 1t was at an advance of $1O0 in salary. This was done entirely without any solicitation on my part or the part of this office, and was a complete surprise to us. However, it demonstrates that the gov ernment wants to do the right thing by the boys"

Ready for Service

T believe the entire Alabama bri- gade will be kept in federal service, ' said Sergt. Miller Kelley of Company l. who is in Birmingham on a visit Although the troops are now in Mont gomery awaiting to be mustered out, 1 believe we will be ordered to an- other destination within a few days
 The Alabama troops are glad, of course, to be back on home soil and would like to be mustered out Nine months of army life will cure almost anyone who had not been accustomed ] to real hardships in every day life.
 The boys enjoyed their stay on the border to certain extent. but very few would be willing to go through the same experience again, unless it Is necessary to do so The Alabama boys are ready to fight for the coun- try, however. and there would be no 'squawk' from Montgomery should or ders be received for us to join the reg ulars' ranks

reasons and the edible quality of this fish it should no longer be neglected by the consumer.
 It is found in deep water off the coast from San Francisco to Alaska, and is particularly abundant from Oregon northward."
 The sablefish averages about if teen pounds in weight, although it grows much larger. MT. Moore says that on account of it's firm texture it "ships" well, and is therefore avail able fresh as far from home as New York or New England. "Barbecued" sablefish is said to be one of the most delicious of sea foods. The various recipes-some thirty odd in all-pub- lished by the commerce department are contributed by specialists in cul- linary art. living in Seattle. Any one of these recipes is enough to whet a mans appetite.
 The bureau of fisheries is ready to supply any inquirer with copies of circular No. 23.
