SILVER THIMBLES HELP
 ENGLAND WIN WAR

A writer in the September Woman's Home Companion says:
 ..one day an English woman who. must understand her own sex very we'll had a beautiful, thrilling inspira- tion. Perhaps in her strenuous sew ing for the soldiers she had to discard a punctured silver thimble for one of brass or composition. Perhaps she just stumbled upon a battered, for gotten thimble which had served another generation of nimble fingers. At any rate, she decided that proba- bly, every home in her town could boast a thimble in or out of service. Now, if all these silver thimbles were gathered up, sent to a silversmith, melted and refined, they would come North from the process - money! Money with which to buy amoulances and equip hospitals.
 "She began by collecting thimbles from friends and neighbors. Thimbles came rolling in from every direction The richest and the humblest sent them. Then there wereswomen, hun | dreds of them, who had no silver 1 thimbles-and were sorry for 1t. They
 wrote, asking whether they might
 send other bits of silver or gold-an
 old silver spon or two, a napkin ring, ! a cuff link, a, watch charm-old i fashioned, even bent or broken, but
 wrought from the precious metal.
 s"The answer to such queries was always the same: Nothing too large. Nothing too small.
 s'The heaps of discarded thimbles and trinkets grew. The Mint melted
 them and then returned them, ingots
 of silver and gold. In a year, The Silver Thimb1e Fund was able te dispense the following splendid chari. ties:
 Seven motor ambulances, Five motor hospital boats fol Mesopotamia,
 "One disinfector, "f2,0OO @o Navy Emp1oymen 3 Agency for Disabled Sailors, "f2,25O to the Star and Carte s Fund,
 "f1o,ooo for disabled soldiers an' q sailors,
 "f222 in small grants to hospital 4 l and supply bureaus, "f15,oo0 sterling, or $75,00o. ha been raised by gifts from those wh q thought. they had nothing worth sell S ing.''

Failure of the Submarine

From the New Republic.
 By far the most encouraging piece or news which has come from Europe in many months is that of the steadily de- creasing success of the German subma- rine attack on commerce. For the first ,time since last winter the losses of mer- chant shipping are being reduced to man ageable limits. Improved methods of con- voying and arming merchant vessels which have been successful in rendering the all-important maritime communica- tions of the allies comparatively safe. In- asmuch as the operation of these meth ods will be still further improved during the winter and the spring 1t seems as certain as anything can be in war that the submarine offensive Is by way of be- ing defeated. Within a few months the gross tonnage controlled by the allied government will begin to increase and the handicap of deficient transport which recently has been impairing the success of their military operations. will be less costly. Germany's only chance of vic- tory will have vanished. Even though she were capable next summer of placing largely increased number of subma- rines in fthe water, their construction would constitute a waste of valuable re- sources. They will not be able to get at the faster, more heavily armed and more carefully conveyed fleets of the allies.

DIR. EAVES TELLS
 OF PATHETIC CASE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: Our very devoted nurse, Miss Bertha Clement, brings to me the completion of sorrowful story: Last night came an excited call to me from lady whom do not know, insisting upon tremen- dous crisis that needed nursing atten- tion immediately. It happened that both the nurse and the assistant were both out on their rounds. and I promised that in the morning she should call. An other nurse was secured by friend of the distressed family.
 In the morning our nurse went to the address and found a former resident of the sanatorium who had died during the night, and who had been persuaded to leave our sanatorium last September in spite of our most strenuous protests. backed by those of the Catholic father, who had visited the poor girl frequently Our visiting nurse had followed up the case and called twice, when the girls sister refused our prophylactic supplies and generally impressed the nurse that she resented her interference. I need not say that we only attempted to serve this case because the patient had no home, for we knew it to be quite help less and suspected that if any partial restoration could be brought about, the girl would return to the more or less nomadic life which she had followed up to that time For we had already ac- quired experience of the case in the sanatorium two years ago, and had lost her chiefly because the discipline had been sadly invaded. She left in May, 1916, and was in condition to continue her cure under favorable self-manage- ment Presently she passed out of our knowledge except that we knew her to have no continuous place of residence
 When she applied this last time, May, 1917, it was because she had reached the last limit of friends and strength With deep misgivings I accepted her. and car ried her out and visited her as did her priest She became somewhat better as compared with her ghastly condition on this second admission, and, as stated above, she left over our protest, which was based upon the peril she would carry into any place of residence < Of course, we do not look for thanks, though only a few moments ago there came to my desk sout girl of about the same age to thank the association and to offer her services free during the seal sale. She was 9S pounds when ad- mitted and gained splendidly. It is not all thankless. Indeed more happy lot of girls than those who are patients of ours it would be hard to find. The more grief is ours when child like the dear dead girl is made source of criticism and sorrow.
 Because this case is likely to reach the ears of some friend and supporter of the sanatorium, I give these facts, which are a matter of record on our files. Yours sincerely.
 GEORGE EAvEs, Secretary.

men have agreed to each build house at once, and other people will build both houses and apartment houses.
 The society ladies of the city nave taken the matter in hand of making the government and other people comfortaoie and have canvassed the city and se- cured a list of over 100 rooms and apartment houses that are available. At first the people objected to taking new corners with, children, but the ladies told them that these are extraordinary tunes and they must do extraordinary things. The result is that the kiddies and all are cared for in short order and made at home.
 As your correspondent stated in previ- ous correspondence, the big nitrate plant is separate from the experimental plant and it's building is wholly separate from the other projects. When the big dam is completed and the power from it is available the same will be used by the nitrate plant, but until then other power will be used, probably power from the Alabama Power company and also from a steam plant to be erected on the site.
 The special correspondent of the Man ufacturers Record gives some new infor- nation this week in regard to the great project and it is stated that Frank s. Washburn, president of the American Cyanamid company, will be the chief ad- visor Of the government in the conStruc- ton of the nitrate plant which the war department has decided to build. Secre- tary Baker of the war department has finally given his approval to the con struction of the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, it is stated. This is considered as official in Florence.
 The Manufacturers Record also states that it is probable that as the result of the development of the enormous ni- trate business at Muscle Shoals there will be busy times in all the surrounding ter ritory.
 People who are on the ground know this to be true and that there are already busy times in the Muscle Shoals section and that the proposition is big one.

NITRATE DISTRICT TOWNS BOOMING LIKE MINING CAMPS Florence Working Hard to Care for Inflow of
 New Citizens MANY ATTRACTED
 BY BRIGHT FUTURE ~vssiea of City Have Been Drafted to Aid in Finding Homes for
 Those Moving in From
 Everywhere"
By MABEL RANDOLPH

Florence December S.-(Special)-Let- ters are pouring into Florence asking about the nitrate plant. The whole coun- try wants to know what is doing at Muscle Shoals-wants to hear that things are being rushed to save the country from the sad results of shortage of nitrate.
 The government at this writing has not made the announcement to the general public and your correspondent would not give out news that should be kept out of the papers, but feels free to tell what is being done in a general way, and things that are generally known by the citizens of this section who are daily made aware of what is being done to make this great seat of government works.
 The railroad track being built over the site of the great plants is now nearly completed and the work is being rushed daily. The site which is at the south end of the Florence bridge and extends along F1orence's river front for nearly two miles covers over three square miles.
 It Is stated that materials are being secured as fast as possible and that it will not be long before thousands of workmen are engaged in the work.
 A representative of a great New York constructing company was in Florence yesterday to secure house for the man ager of the company and arrange for accommodations for a corps of engineers who it is understood will have charge of the construction work.
 In speaking of the army of workmen that will be needed the representative stated that houses for 10000 or 12,000 peo- pie would be constructed and that the whole proposition would be on a tremen- dous scale.
 Realizing that there will be thousands to care for the Florence Chamber of Com merce called a meeting and 25 business

Indians In the Great War.

Indians have been volunteering for
service in the United States army since
1861. In 1892 Lieutenant Scott, later
chief Of the staff, organized and
trained a troop of the Seventh caval-
ry. which was highly commended by
the inspector general of the war de-
partment.
The Indian is trained as the Swiss
train their boys, so that they may be
able to fire gun accurately and earn
a living. He has all the qualities Of
a good soldier-endurance, patience,
courage and an instinct for scouting,
London Tit-Bits says.
The Canadian government recog-
nized the great fighting ability Of the
many Indian nations and tribes who
volunteered their services for king and
country at the outbreak of the war,
and there are hundreds Of Indians en-
rolled In many of the different Cana
dian regiments at the front. Many
have made the supreme sacrifice,
among the first to fall being Lieut.
Cameron Brant of the Six Nations In
dams, who was a lineal descendant Of
the distinguished colonial warrior,
Capt. Joseph Brant of Revolutionary
fame.
