Washington, d. c., May ALL Of
ficial Washington is today looking
forward to May as the day that may
seal the kaiser's doom and mark the
coming of the. end. Ii
May day-the labor, day of Euro
pean revolutionists, always set apart
by the reds for turbulent outbreaks
this year carries the threat for Ger
many of actual revolution, which may
not be as sweeping as that of Russia,
but is none the less a dire menace to
Germany's power of resistance
Every dispatch from Germany, ac-
cording to an authority close to the
American state department, contains
a more or less yelled recognition of
this menace
Most significant as expressive of
the imperial governments dread of
May 1 is the sudden adjournment of
the reichstag on the very first day
of the new session until May 2.
Equally significant is the fact that
this session, called specially to re-
ceive an address from Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, heard not one syl-

precipitately dissolved when Lede-

In all history no great strike OF de-
termined, starving workers has ever
been suppressed BY bloodshed.
If the MAJ day strikes of the Ger
mans run true to form the blood of
the strikers will be the signal for
widespread revolt that will tax Prus-
sian militarism to the utmost.
The Russian revolution began as
series of food strikes and did not
reach the stage Of popular revolt un'
til strikers were shot down.
What the outcome will be. depends
on how far the German private sol
der has been brutalized by Prussian
militarism.
If the German soldier is still as
human as the soldiers of Russia, he
will not fire into the mObs OF his
starving brothers and sisters, espe'
cially when he too is starving; but
with the evidence of Belgium as wit
ness of the brutality to which Ger
man privates may. be driven under
orders of their officers, no one dares
predict that even the mothers would
be spared if the order to fire should
be given @Ee.

the fate of Germany and the hopes
for early peace.

Apparently he did not leave any copies for the principals. place a Bible in every dressing room in the city. The idea is an excellent one; it has already been put into practice in the case of hotel bedrooms. Perhaps it would be uncivil as well as inaccurate to as- sume that the ballet girls need Bibles more than other persons. There are good. bad and indifferent among them, as among any other class in the community; you can no more indct profession than you can indict a whole people Even the worst is doubtless kind to her mother. But it must be admitted that, moral or religious considerations aside, the Bible is a much-neglected book in these days, though no one can be considered we'll read who is ignorant of 1t.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 YNOR many centuries before treaty
 a days" Shanghai was' II not S great city, certainly great port. Lying, as 1t does, on the west bank or the Hwang- Pu river, some 2 miles rom the point where 1t empties it's waters into the mighty flood of the Yangtsze-klang' Shanghai has always been the principal mort for Central China. The looms of sncbow. the plantations of Ngan-hui. and the garden of China, that rich alluvial plain some 45,0Oo square miles in extent which stretches away to the west of the city. all poured their produce into Shanghai and filled the heavy junks which strained at their moorings along the river bank.
 And vet Shanghai, that is the nativo city, prosper as it might always was' apparently, what 1t is today. place sin gularly lacking in attractiveness. It's heavy walls, three and half miles in length and pierced by seven gates, in close a city which, as to streets and thor oughfares presents all the most sorry features of the Chinese cities. The native town is now, however, entirely overshad- owed by the vast new city which has sprung up on the foreign concessions. The United Kingdom, France, and, the Tinted States have all, for well over half A century, been developing great trade here, and the new city, withs It's handsome bund running along the river frontage of the three foreign settlements, it's fine public buildings, well paved streets, and air of prosperity, presents startling contrast to the old town.
 And yet all this has been accomplished in about 70 years. It was in 1S42 to be exact, that, by the treaty of Nanking the port of Shanghai was included amongst the four new ports which were then thrown open to trade. At first, cu- riously enough, foreign merchants seem to have looked askance at the place. Ac- cording to one authority, at the end of the first year of its history as an open port Shanghai could count only 23 for eign residents and families. one consular flag, Il merchants houses, and two Pro- | testant missionaries, whilst only A for
 
 l eign vessels had arrived during the 12 months. With the advent. however. of Captain afterward Sir George Balfour, as British consul. matters began to de- velop more rapidly. Captain Balfour saw clearly enough that, if the British settle
 ment was to grow and prosper. 1t would have to shake itself free from the native city It was on his motion that the site
 of the present British settlement was se-
 from the native city by a narrow strip
 of land. which was subsequently, selected
 by the French as the site for the French
 settlement; whilst. later again, the United States established settlement
 on the other side of the Suchow creek
 on a piece of land fronting the river.

 west is taking drastic action, as Cleve- land has, and Detroit, and dozens more of eastern cities. It may be sacrificing a little of sordid romance, surrendering the right to provide themes for COW camp songs and all too realistic novels, but it's gain is genuine.

BALLET GIRLS AND THE BIBLE

be used mainly for argument or denuncia- tion. The Old Testament is a library of ancient Jewish literature, filled, not only with moral exaltation, but with poetry and philosophy. There Is nothing in the Greek dramatists more wonderful in it's way than the Book of Ecclesiastes, though some regard it as purely secular, and hold that it's note of pessimism should have excluded it from the canon- ical writings. Any ballet girl or other ex- plorer after a good English style should devote nights and days to the study of 1t. Then there is the Book of Job-a magnificent drama, despite the flaw of the happy ending, a concession by the writer to the Philistines of his time. It is somewhat difficult to consider so in- partially the New Testament. Yet this Is after all primarily body of early Chris tian literature, of transcendent impor4 tance because it contains four biographieA of Jesus. as wela as the writings of St. Paul, the first and greatest of Christian theologians. Even so it is quite as much testimony to the authenticity of the church and its teachings as a touchstone of doctrine
 Surely the whole world should read the Bible, and become familiar with 1t The too general ignorance of 1t has already had deplorable effect upon our younger writers, who have not the charm of their elders largely because of the lack of dis tinction and elevation of language which they drew from searching the Scriptures.

"CREOLEs"

From "The City of the Creole and Mardi
 Gras," by Julian Street, in Golfers
 Weekly.
 Harris Dickson, who knows a great deal about New Orleans, declared in an article published some years ago, that outside lower Louisiana the word Creole" is still misunderstood, and added this definition of the term: "A person of mixed French and Spanish blood. born in Louisiana 7
 Between the dialect of the Louisiana Cajun (Canadian) and that of the French Canadian of Quebec and northern New York there is strong resemblance; the Creole negro language Is a thing entirely apart. being made up. itl is said partly from French and partly from, African word sounds, just as the "gula"s or the South Carolina coast is made up from African and English.
 Much of the temperament. the gayety, the senstiveness of New Orleans comes from the Creole. He was Latin enough to be a good deal of gambler to love beautiful women. and on slight provoca- ton to draw his sword.

THE SHANGHAI OF TO-DAY

which here makes sharp turn to the east.
 Thereafter, the history of Shanghai Ia the history of the settlements. By de- grees the natural advantages of the port attracted merchants of all nationalitiea and, within very short time what had been a reed-covered swamp was con- verted into one of the finest cities in the far east. The place became more and more cosmopolitan in it's character; large numbers of foreigners other than British took up their abode in the British set- clement. and, as the advantage of liv- ing under foreign protection became ap- parent, the Chinese, too, began to flock in. The United Kingdom and the United States joined in the formation of one mu- nicipality in 1868, since which time there have been two municipalities at Shang- hai, the French and the amalsamatsa British and American settlements. Tho area of the latter has been extended steadily, uptil today it embraces some nine or ten miles square. The section has. however largely lost its original British and American character, and has become entirely cosmopolitan.

 Saturday Week

 THE Alabama Sociological con- q gress, with the child welfare committee, the committee on prisons and the Alabama Anti Tuberculosis league, which will convene here Sat urday, March 10, and remain in ses- sion until March IA, inclusive, will be of distinct public interest. A large and varied programme has been ar ranged and all the topics to be con- sidered will be discussed by persons , of recognized authority.
 Several years ago when sociological
 aetings began to attract attention 8rsons of conservative notions were Sn lined to look askance at them 6 ciology had long been recognized as \ ycience. One of Herbert Spencer's \ ,foundest treatises in his Syn

 led Sociology" but only students of metaphysical turn and broad vision could grasp it. It did not appeal to the practical mind, being chiefly theoretical. But practical thinkers have taken Spencer's principles and applied them to the affairs of life and questions calling for practical treatment. Social problems are multi plying rapidly and no one now ques- fIons the good that comes from organ ized sociological activities.
 This forthcoming congress will be largely attended, but what will give it chief distinction will be the national prominence of some of those who will take part in it.
 The programme of the Anti-Tuber- <culosis league in conjunction with the Pathological congress will have to do with the great movement of building and maintaining county hospitals-a hospital in Jefferson and other coun- ties-under the law enacted by the last legislature.

 A Philadelphia dentist had the nerve to publish picture of Washington, with this statement underneath:

 I assume that the dentist knows moro about teeth than he knows about history. Washngton's teeth were his one physical defect. They amounted almost to a facial b2-mish when he smiled, and one sour critic of our first President. who knew him well, said the reason he so rarely laughed was his dislike to showing the ravishes of decay in his mouth.
