MOTHERS DAY NEXT SUNDAY. MAY


 oi' Monoay morning it is a good idea to begin thinking about next Sunday morning, which will be Mothers Day. 1t VIII be most appropriately commence rated in all of the Sunday schools of Birmingham, but that is not the ques- ton that is up to you as an individual as a mothers son.
 A letter to the mother at home, box Of candy, some flowers, make it as strong as you can afford, just like you always do for your best girl; that is what mother IS enutled to from you; no matter whether your hair is gray, or whether you are a stripling of a youth away from home. The older you are, the more log ical and reasonable will be the appeal to you to remember mother.
 You will get all of the pleasure you can stand out of such a remembrance. if you will just sit down and shut your eyes ana dream for a few moments; picture the old mother reading that letter, fon- ding the flowers, or munching on the chocolates, and try to picture any other woman on earth enjoying your thought fitness even half as much as mother.
 You may wear a white flower, that will let your friends know that you have thought of mother. but the real idea for you is to send mother that knowledge in some form, so she will have 1t next Sun day morning. May IS. Let this hit you about three inches below your collar bone on the left-hand side.

 And then broke the mold;
 Then gave you to me

reminder of the fact that the United States is now q belligerent and is earnestly engaged in preparing to join actively with the allies There is to
 be no parade; that is, there will be none unless the plans of the committee are changed at the last moment Ap-
 parently advices have been received from Washington intimating that there might be grave danger were the commission to take part in any parade. Furthermore, it would be almost inn possible adequately to protect for the distance those who took part in q parade.
 Probably there will not be many visitors to New York for the reason that the arrival of the commission is not to be made public. The line of the
 Pennsylvania railroad and the Penn sylvania station in New York are to be guarded by detectives, secret ser vice men and soldiers. So, also, the city hall, where reception is to- be rendered to the commission, will be guarded by regular troops at the time the commission is in the hall; precau- tions will also be taken to prevent any secret approaches to the building
 before the hour of arrival
 If present plans are carried out the Chamber of Commerce will entertain
 the commission at luncheon, but, the Chamber of Commerce building, which
 is symbolic of peace and trade, will
 be thoroughly guarded by troops and police, so that notwithstanding the courtesies, there will be revealed the spectre of war.

 of honor, but as soldiers who are upon military duty. Probably there will be a large banquet at the Waldorf As- toria. but that building will be so Thoroughly guarded as almost to sug- gest that it is an arsenal
 WHAT IT WILL COST
 The entertainment will probably cost about $100.000 and there is no doubt
 that what is needed over the city's appropriation of $50,000 will be easily raised, whatever the amount needed may be. It has seemed to some if the expenditure of so much money may be regarded as extravagance and an opinion of that kind would be justi-
 fled, if it were not that the real pur- pose of this visit is a very serious one, as in fact will be the case of the visits
 of one or both of the commissions to other cities. For it is believed that a demonstration of this kind. in which the English and French commissions participate, will serve to bring home to the people of the United States the vital fact that war is here and that this country must make use of all re- sources and employ every energy as

How the Bagpipes Won a Battle.

Twas at the Verdun battles where the bullets fell like
ram,
Amidst the din and rattle of the siege guns wild
refrain!
Charge after charge struggled on and whole bat
talions fell;
The way brave boys fought that day. they'd charge
the gates of hell!
The Germans slowly losing ground contested every
inch;
And ere the day wa; done they found the Tommies
In close formation, like wedge they tried to break
line:
With every fellows edge, the spectacle was
fine
When suddenly whirr was heard and sailing in the
Zeppelin, like some huge bird rained ruin from on
high
And as the field strewn with dead, we heard the
hated cry:
"For-wartzl Hoch the Kaiser the victory is won,"
What could do but save our men? They had us
on the run;
The Teutons, reenforced swept thru the breech and
up the hill;
When with blast the bagpipes blew, in screeches
loud and shrill;
While forty-two "braw kty lads" were blowing loud
The Forty-second Highlanders were bracing up the
rear.
And all were fairly well braced up on Scotch highbals
and beer!
The way they, blew those bagpipes with the screech
and skrl and weeze
Made the "Boches- drop in punches, and fall upon
their knees
As the agonizing moaning in volumn rent the sky,
The Ieutons fled in terror "Vossloss?" we heard
them cryl
And they beat il back to Berlin where we hope the
