Birmingham to Atlantic Water Route
Company It's plan is to canalize Bon
Secour river through TO Pensacola

posed by Congressman Park The OBJ
ject is to connect with practically
every navigable stream in the United
States and complete an inland water
route from Maine to the Rio Grande,

According to figures compiled by Arthur Henderson of the British War Council, the kaiscr's ambition has already cost seven million lives and forty-siX million casual ties. the latter including not only the killed but also the wounded and missing. These figures are not likely correct, but probably as near so as can be obtained However, on man for man basis, the outcome cannot be other than disastrous to Germany. Thus far it is almost certain that Germany has lost two men to one lost by the British the French and Russians having lost more hcav- ily than Britain. Also it is certain that Britain can keep the enemy engaged until
 am American army is sufficiently trained to go to the front, and even if the man for man ratio must be followed, it will be sui cidal for Germany to continue the conflict for the reason that her overthrow will be accomplished through the meXhaustible re- sources m.thc way of both men and money of those arraycd against her. Munitions of war can be produced in a few days, but from seventeen to twenty years are requir- cd to produce soldiers.

 for participation in the Haymarket riots. At that time she was making speeches from a hanson cab in the streets of the city, and across the back of the cab in big letters was her motto, Bread or Bloodl Let the Voice of the People be Heard" From that time to the present Emma Goldman has been agitatng and otherwise devoting her life and energies to stirring up dissatisfac- tiou among the people. She has been in jail
 in most of the larger cities of the country, but all attempts to entirely suppress her have been futile It is not to the credit of the United States of America that Emma Goldman, for more than a quarter of cen tmy has been permitted to openly advocate defiance of the laws of the country.

IN GEORGE wAsHNGToN's DAY

The war history of the United States shows that conScription has long been the accepted manner for raising am army, the Spauish-Amcrican war being the only one in which the conscription method was not used. In Batavia New York, during the early period of the Revolutionary war; a notice was posted some time before con Scriptiou was rcsorted to and there is but little doubt but that the notice was the ere ation of no less a parsonage than the immor- tai George Washington, for it reads very much as do many of his other productions which have been handed down to history. Al any rate, we commend it's reading at this time, and for that purpose it is here with given:
 'To all brave, healthy, able-bodied and we'll disposed young men in the neighbor- hood who have any inclination to join the troops now raising under General Washing ton for the defense of the Liberties and In- dependence of the United States against the hostile designs of foreign enemies, take notice that Lieutenant Reading with his music and recruiting party of the Eleventh Regiment of Infantry will be here April 3 for the purpose of receiving the enrolment of such youths of spirit as may be willing to enter into this honorable service.
 "Thc encouragement at this time to en- list is truly liberal and generous, namely a bounty of SIP, an annual and fully sufficient supply of good and handsome clothing, a daily allowance of ample ration of provis- ions, together with $6O a year in gold and silver money on account of pay, the whole of which the soldier may lay up for himself and friends as all articles proper for his Isustcnancc and comfort are provided by law without any expense to him.
 "Those who favor the recruiting party with their attendance as above will have the opportunity of hearing and feeling in "a more particular manner the great advan Itages. which these brave men will have, who shall embrace this opportunity of spending a few happy years in viewing the different parts of this beautiful continent lin the honorable and truly respectful char Iacter of a soldier, after which he may, if Inc please, return home to his friends with his pockets full of money and his head cOv- cred with lamels"

Tense guard, to interest young men in
Joining some branch Of the United
States military service and to be pre-
pared to take up any other necessary
public duties that may devolve upon
the company in the future.
That the organization is meeting
with success is shown by the fact that
out of its membership thirty have been
selected for the officers training camp
at Fort Smelling.
The next drill will be held Saturday
and a new president and three mem
bers of the executive committee will
be named at that time to take the

Charles S. Whitman welcomed Mar
shall Joffre, member of the French wal
mission to New York state when the
hero of the Marine today visited the
headquarters here of Gen. Kashing-

This place, peculiarly precious to
Americans is not without French asso-
Citations and memories" said the gov
ernor. Here, giving counsel to the
leader of our armies, lived for many
weeks the great son Of France, La
fayette. ts,r
Again, the French and Americans
are found in Washington's head
quarters. Again a stubborn and AFRO
giant ruler has plunged this nation in
to war. Despotism has filled the world
with terror. But the Frenchman and
the Englishman and American are not
divided now. We realize our allies in
Europe are fighting for civilization, as
truly as were our ancestors. -
