Two Kinds of Warnings


HE AGEHERALD and it's cartoonst Blackman have re
 celved several warnings to 'le up aliens In car oons and otherwise this has continually pointed out the danger of having aliens official posts and in other places where they may be dangerous to the public welfare
 Efforts have been made to consue these attacks aliens covert blows at the great Jewish race o peo pie for which The Ageerad has always felt and expressed its admiration No longer than last Wednesday this news published letter from Max Roseman calling attention to the fact that The Age Herald the only newspaper in Br mgham which had shown its sympathy with and cooperation in the Jewish relief fund being raised for the benefit of members of this who have been thrown into great distress by conditions abroad.
 The Age Herald is not deceived in the of these ngs up aiens They from pro Germans; they from those who would do anything to embarrass The Ageerad any other great nstrumenta for arousng and keeping fervd the patriotism of the people of this great state
 Furthermore The AgeHerad knows who they The only effect of warnings that these aliens will be kept under still closer surveillance and be that of them will yet be given free trip the detention camp in Atlanta until the end of this

habits, so far as his associates could learn, and what became of his own fortune, estimated at several hun dred thousand dollars, and the $300,- 900 that he stole will forever remain mystery perhaps.
 A few days ago the fact that bank clerk in Brooklyn was found short in his accounts to the extent of 20,000, was published, but before he could be arrested the guilty man had de- camped. He was forty-three years old and lived quietly with his wife and child His friends say he had no bad habits.
 While the number of defaulters seem to increase, especially in the great financial centers of the coun- try, the percentage of dishonest men is exceedingly small. Most men are honest and are above temptation. In the majority of instances the men who steal large sums are found to have led profligate lives after nightfall. The exception to the rule is always baffling.

 So, too, the chemists have shown th& government and the people how to utilizS products of coke, not merely for explof sives. but also for dystuffs.

Wider Interest in
 the State Fair

7 T is said of circuses, See one and u you see them all" Whether or not that be true, it is very different with state fairs under progressive management. The exhibits are more varied each year and as for the amuse- ment features, worth while novelties are always presented.
 The bills at the Alabama Fair are changed each year, as rule. The live stock exhibits are not only fresh and worth seeing, but they are of large educational value-larger this year than ever before.
 Those persons who attended the fair year ago are waiting eagerly for this years event, with its horse show, its cattle display, its fine hogs, its fine poultry and everything fine produced on the farm. Great atten- tion is being given to dairying, and the dairy demonstration, under the direction of experts from Auburn, alone would be worth trip to Bir- mingham from the remotest section of Alabama for anyone especially inter ested in the cream and butter indus try. Nothing equal to it has ever been seen in this part of the south.
 The woman's department will be unusually attractive, and there will be many acts in front of the grand stand that will entertain men, women and children.
 President R. A. Brown has been en- thusiastic over former fairs, but never so much so as now.
 The active demand for season tickets is significant. Orders come from many quarters and this fact, of course, indicates a. very large at- tendance The crowd that passes through the gates at the fairgrounds will doubtless establish new high record. Certain it is that no visitor will be disappointed.

LIGHT IN DARKNESS

By Horace Greeley. 0 God! our way through darkness leaA But thine is living light Teach us to feel that day succeeds To each slow wearing night; Make us to know. though pain and VI Beset our mortal lives. That i'll at last in death lies low And only good survives. Too long the oppressor's iron heel Ehe saintly brow has pressed; Too oft the tyrant's murderous ste Has pierced the guiltless breast; Yet in our souls the seed shall lie Till thou shalt bid it thrive; Of steadfast faith that wrong shall d And only right survive. We walk in shadow; thickest walls DO man from man divide, Our brothers spurn our tenderest call Our holiest aims deride; Yet though fell craft with fiendis
 thought
 It's subtle web contrives, Still falsehood's textures shrink
 naught
 And only truth survives Wrath clouds our sky, war lifts on hig His flag of crimson stain, Each monstrous birth o'erspreads E
 earth
 In battles gory train; Yet still we trust in God the Just. Still keep our faith alive, That meath thine eye all hate s',a

 And only love survive.

Picturesque Warfare
 Waoed by Italians

1T FILING and other less famous IN war correspondents have writ ten graphic descriptions of the spec tacular warfare being waged by the Italian troops in the Alps, but the most able writers acknowledge that they cannot find words to portray adequately the wonderful panorama of battle at night in those snow clad peaks, as viewed from a neigh boring eminence.
 Motion picture producers have never been able to approximate the weird beauty of shell-fire, with the reflec- tion of the snow to intensity and bring out the various colors of the shells as they explode, and certainly no mechanical device has ever been perfected that could equal the tre- mendous roar of the guns and the de- tonation of shells; as the sound is taken up and volleyed from peak to peak. Besides the artillery fire and the ceaseless splitting of rifles, there are innumerable searchlights and sig nals flashing all through the night.
 In The Age-Herald's Rotogravure Section last Sunday appeared some striking views of the Alps where the Italians are now at grips with the Austrians It is almost inconceivable that man has been able to surmount the obstacles presented to modern warfare en this battle front. Yet, nothing has been able to retard the slow, but sure, advance of the Ital- ians. Their engineers have proved themselves little less than wizards, and many of their works, such as mili- tary roads, will survive for all time as monument to their skill.
 While attention has been centered for the most part on the western front, where the British and French have held the Germans at bay so long, the fighting there, although at times thrilling and spectacular, can- not compare with scenes daily and nightly witnessed on the Italian front.
 Better still, the Italians have con ducted such successful offensive against the Austrians that not few observers believe the war will be de- cided by the gallant troops of General Cadorna

KERENsKY KNEW THE MoB

Hamilton Fyfe, in Golfers Weexlv
 Kerensky had learned by addressing tba uneducated and elemental, the workers With their hands, how to appeal to the mob instinct. He had watched how strikes were engineered. He possessed the dramatic gift which gives a man the power to charm the crowd into listening to him. He had not the business abilitv or Prince Lvoff, or of Guchhoy, or of honovalov; he had neither the knowledge of Milliukov nor the financial ability of Shingariev. But he was leader of men
 Notice how quickly he developed as all leaders of men have developed before him. At first he made his appeal to the mob by the usual arts of the demagogue He barred his breast and bade the man who believed him false to the people 5 cause to plunge knife into his heart He did not argue; he exhorted.
 He is not without a certain biting humor. He knows exactly when to pick up an interruption and answer it: when to let it alone. Like Briand in France he often makes his happiest hits off re- marks flung at him from his audience He can transfer an attitude of criticism and suspicion into a roaring expression of confidence and enthusiasm quicker than any man I have ever heard speak, not excepting even Lloyd George
 So Kerensky played upon the sensitive Russian temperament with the same mastery of the instrument that De Pach- mann shows over his piano or Kreisler upon his violin. So he gained his influ- ence, and so he became the one outstand- ing personality in the Russian drama. For when once you have become per- sonality, you are secure with the mob "A legend grows lip around you. Your name is upon all lips No limit is set to what you can accomplish.

 Apparently MT. Florenz Ziegfeld, orig inator of the classical Anna Held milk bath story, has been paying little per- sonal attention to the department of pub licity at the Century theatre. With regard to the engagement of Tortala de valen- cia, the famous Spanish dancer, as fea- ture of the new Century show, the fol- lowing announcement is promulgated by the Century theater press department:
 "Senorita de Valencias vitality is so marvellous that it is known to impart the most exquisite lustre to pearls. She was asked by the French government to wear the famous necklace of Mme Thiers, which is rapidly losing it's color in the Louvre. But the curator was dil- atory and before he completed arrange ments the dancer had been called to Pe- trograd to wear the famous collar of Catherine the Great and bring back it's color"
