Germany Offends
 Her Own Allies

M ESPITE the Kaiser's recent visit lO to Sofia and his efforts to con- ciliate his disgruntled allies, Bulgaria is making tentative offers of peace to the entente. There have been indica- tions for sometime past that the Bull
 garians were losing interest in the
 war and were incensed by the treat mene given them by Prussian military Headers, who showed characteristic arrogance and Teutonic pigheaded- ness in regarding their Bulgarian al- lies as interiors. Nothing could be more senseless than such conduct, yet
 the Prussian cannot get it out of his head that the common run of humani- ty is no better than the dirt beneath his feet. He lacks even the tact to con- ceal his opinions, when it Is vitally necessary for nls Iuture WeiIare that he do so.
 King Ferdinand is reputed to be one of the craftiest politicians in Europe and it is quite conceivable that while he was extending the hand of well come to the Kaiser in Sofia his agents were trying to open negotiations in entente capitals. The Bulgarians are sturdy fighters, and like most war; like peoples they set independence above all other things. They have no desire to remain under German domi- nation after the war is over. They have already seen enough of German tactics to convince them that they are

VISIT TO CAMP MCLELLAN-By Frank Willis Barnett

half a mile away unless his attention had been called to them, so perfectly did they fit into the scenery.
 Although I had been over the grounds a number of times accepted an in- yitation from my cousin, John B.

I missed him, but lett word at headquarters for him, and hope he will come, as he Is always so cour- teous to those who call at headquarosrs. But what I started out to say was that at each visit I was more than ever impressed with the magnitude of Camp Mcclellan and wished that every man in the state might see it and know how well this government was getting pre- pared to do finished job with kaiser ism.
 I called to see Major Chain Light ming" Dulin, but missed him. but got to see Major Stevenson. I missed my friend, Charley" LaBarre, the New Dr. leans politician, who left the state legis- ature to become the purchasing agent for the Chisoln company, and who has been a wonder in his line, but I got to ride all the way with him back to Bir- mingham, as he was taking a weeks vacation, and was en route to the Cres- cent City. They say that Major Dulin is famous for getting work out of men, but that LaBarre was always up to the scratch, and at 1t night and day, helping the major and the firm of government contractors to make a worlds record.

DOG HERO AT ARMENTIEREs

From the London Telegraph.
 To one of the casualty clearing stations at Armentieres was brought boy of IS who had ben gassed. He was a lifelong paralytic. and wizened like an old man. and deaf and dumb. Nobody knew where he had come from or to whom he pe- longed, but he had one creature faithful to him. It was a small dog, which came on the stretcter with him, sitting on his chest. It watched close to him when ne lay in the hospital, and went away with him, sitting on his chest again, when ne was sent further away to another clear ing station This dogs fidelity to the paralyzed boy who was deaf and dump and gassed, seems to men who have seen many sights of war and this agony III Armentieres the most pitiful thing they know.

 q am not an I. W. W. said James IT. Maurer, president of the Pennsylva- mia Federation of Labor. at the Mad ison Square Garden meeting Sunday night "but will say this for them Their only crime is that they are class conscious and consistent. and they fight for their convictions.'
 The "convictions" for which the I. W. w. fight are that every agreement with an employer is a scrap of paper" and that workmcn must follow the policy or sabotage; bomb the churches; flood the mines; burn the crops; fire the forests and the sawmills that turn out spruce for airplanes: poison the soup as in fa- nous Chicago case; resist the draft, and help the Kaiser. This is not crime; it is class consciousness.
 And what a convenient theory for otn- CTS than the I. w. w.! Cocchi was merely class-conscious when he murdered the daughter of respectable man and hid her body in his cellar.

Great Britain. The latter's pastorate
 continued only five years, but in that time he had won his way into the hearts of his congregation and was
 easily recognized as the foremost Presbyterian divine in New York. While MT. Sunday is regularly or dained minister, he has never had a
 pastoral charge, and has never shown any desire to exchange his field of free lance homiletics for the more
 conventional work of his profession.
 Sensational to the last degree, he
 draws vast crowds and makes count
 less "converts" every year. Thousands
 of goddess people have been drawn to
 his services by curiosity, but under
 the spell of his wonderful personality
 have Init the trailY and afterwards re- formed their lives.
 But Sundays eccentric methods would hardly appeal to the sedate and scholarly worshipers in the Fifth avenue church. The congregation as a whole, however, might be glad to give MT. Sunday trial. Even thigh brows" sometimes enjoy broad humor
 and original slang in the pulpit. While it is safe to say that the evangelist
 would be slow to consider "call," he might after all yield to well organ- |ized demand and surprise his old friends and admirers.
 He knows how to drop rough lan- guage and put aside what many peo- ple regard as irreverence. When filling pulpit in a small town something rare of course-his man. ner has been dignified and his d'ction chaste. But if the Fifth avenue church were to succeed in securing him he would go right ahead in his usual style and proceed to "clean up" New York on every Lords day.

Liberty Day and
 It's True Spirit

M1EXT Wednesday, which President G N Wilson sets aside as Liberty Day, will be observed throughout the country as a general holiday. In Bir- nningham preparations are being made for the largest parade ever seen here.
 It is expected that soldiers from Camp Mcclellan at Anniston will par ticipate. Civic organizations will turn out and all the children from the public schools will be in line. The banks will close at noon and the com mittee in charge of arrangements has asked all the merchants to sus- pend business in the early hours of the afternoon in order that their en- ployes may have an opportunity of joining in the celebration. Already some of the merchants have agreed to close, but the committee reports that not few are hesitating. This should not be so.
 President Wilson is especially de- sirous that Liberty Day be observed in it's true spirit. The vast majority of American citizens have given abundant evidence of their patriot ism, but no matter how loyal they have been to the government, public demonstration will have most whole some effect and will be, indeed, far reaching for good.
 The second liberty loan dragged at the start, but the bonds are now in active demand, and it is the expecta- tion of the administration that fully five billion dollars will be subscribed for by Wednesday.
 Birmingham IS making splendid record in the sale of bonds, but even if indications point to large oversub- scription, Liberty Day, nevertheless, should be made memorable in the an- nals of Birmingham. Let's have a grand patriotic outburst from one end of the city to the other

 Recently it was necessary to remove the German submarine base from Pola because of sanguinary fights between German and Austrian sailors. If the truth were known, the average Aus trian probably has no more love for the Germans than we in America.

Emper- or Charles is no great admirer of the Hohenzollerns and their ways. Aus tria- Hungary is exhausted and suffer- ing acutely. The Austrians have let it be known that peace can't come too soon to suit them, and while Bulgaria has fared much better since throwing in her lot with Germany, she too sees the handwriting on the wall and would be glad to extricate herself from an entanglement which humiliates her pride and threatens her future inde- pendence.
 It is a sad commentary on German diplomacy and German character that in addition to alienating four-fifths of the world Germany has also contrived to engender so much i'll feeling among her allies that the exigency of their situation alone keeps them under con- trol.

 Although the ex-ball player is reck- oned the most successful evangelist of modern times, there is little probabil- ity that he will be "called' to minister to the most distinguished Presby- terian congregation in this country.

CANNING AND PRESERVING
DENOTES EFFICIENCY


Nationl President Associated Clubs
Of Domestic Science
Housewives of America:
Don't work "hit or miss" and
say you can't afford to fill the store
closet with fruits nd vegetables for
winter consumption this year be-
cause of the cost and the need for
practicing economy, but put your
housekeeping on an efficiency basis.
"Count the cost" Of your canning
and preserving, and see how little
this really is. Fruits are plentiful
and reasonable in price-usually no
higher than for several years past
while as regards the sugar cost,
this has increased less proportion
ately than most other foods in ev-
eryday use.
The following table has been
carefully worked out and shows the
sugar cost of finished quart jar
of each Of nine different fruits at
present sugar prices, which caves an
averge cost of Az cents for sugar
for quart jar of fruit. These
figures are based on standard for
mulas as to the density of syrup
needed to preserve the natural
flavor of each variety of fruit:
Peaches-5 ounces; cost 2%
cents.
RGspberries-S.6 ounces sugar; ;
cost, % cents.
Blackberries-S.5 ounces sugar
cost, % cents.
Strawberries-7.3 ounces sugar
cost, cents.
Cherries-14 ounces sugar; cost
Z 2-3 cents.
Plums-5 ounces suger; cost,
"a cents.
Pears-5.6 ounces sugar; cost,
cents.
Grapes-10.7 ounces sugar; cost,
5 As cents.
Currants-10.4 ounces sugar;
cost, 52-3 cents.
Average-8.3 ounces sugar; cost,
Az cents.
These figures should dismiss the
erroneous idea that the cost of
canning is prohibitive and every
housewife should make it her duty
to can every bit of fruit she can
secure.
