Millions of Men
 Are Ayailable

1.-THE New York mayors committee 0 on national defense, which re- gently made close study of this country's military resources, esti- mates that nearly 18,000,000 men would be available for service in the event the United States were involved in war. "There are now physically fit for service in the field 10,535 $40 men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years. But in addition to these men several millions of able bodied patriots above forty-five years could be counted upon in an emer- gency.
 The enormous total of nearly 18,- 900, ,00O" is on paper, however. If necessary fully 10,0O0,000 men could be conscripted, but to make soldiers of them would take time-two or three years at the lowest. England was two years in making an army of the "raw recruits" that the late Lord Kitchener planned.
 Any clash in which the United States might be involved would be over and forgot before an army of millions could be got ready for action. What every nation needs in time of war is a strong first line of defense.
 Our millions of men will not be called upon to fight for long time to perhaps not in this century, but this country does need a some what stronger army than is now in sight. We need a bit more prepared ness of the practical sorts

Civic As We'll As
 Musical Affair

THE biennial Convention of the Ma
 9 tional Federation, of Music
 Clubs, which will come to Birming-
 ham for an entire week in April
 the 18th to the Fist, inclusive-will
 be a great civic as we'll as a great
 musical event, and that being so the Chamber of Commerce is naturally expected to cooperate with the Bir-
 mingham Music Study club, in charge
 of local details, in the matter of fi-
 nancing the affair.
 This convention will bring visitors
 here from every section of the United States. Chicago and the middle west will be particularly well represented. The lowest estimate of the crowd is ten thousand, and among those in att tendance will be many distinguished Ai6oASAAio, CNuSdIOlS anu UdCh6TS Ol large musical movements.
 Birmingham has been the host city to several national bodies that were entertained on an extensive scale. The biennial will not require large sum for entertainment, but whatever is deemed adequate should be forth coming without any hesitation.
 The biennial is already widely ad- vertised. The railroads will offer spe- cial rate tickets and Birmingham will be called upon to "take care" of one of the largest throngs in it's history.
