SOME COMEDY IN RUSSIA
rom the Pittsburg Post.

from tue IlttSpurS POSt.
 A bit of comedy has appeared un- willingly in the Russian situation in the form of an order by Bolsheviki leaders 10 their motley troops to as : sail the revolting Cossack forces and give them no quarter. It is on a par with attempting to set a 'merciless' rabbit upon bulldog. What a small company of fiery Don Cossacks could do to the yellow ragtag of the Trotz- kys and Lenines would be a shame to tell. Even now comes woRd of the Trotzky troops shivering in their boots at the thought of 1t. The rest of the story is told in the advancing of tie Cossacks. seizing railroads, cities, mu- r.itions and supplies of coal and pro- .-isions.
 Signs are multiplying that Germany has still a considerable distance to 50 to effect separate peace with tilc Russians, and with the prospect that it will not get there.

Must Learn to Obey

Our life in this country is made ur of conventionality.' said President J M Shelburne of Howard college, who is now doing Christian and social work at Camp Wheeler under the Army Y M. c. A, and the present war is bring ing us back to the use of common sense and rsason, and is developing new con- science. Ministers are exempted, not be- cause they are considered too good or too pious to fight, but because they can be of more service to their country by keeping up the work at home. I am trying to drive it home to the college boys that no man Is fit to command men until he has first learned to obey. The great need of Americans is to learn the necessity of discipline if we are to win this war.
 'The war department discriminates in favor of college students and advises them if they can be of more service to their country in the future by com pleting their course, to remain in col lege. This applies to volunteers who do not come within the draft age"

You made great many rash prom ises when you were trying to persuade me to marry you," said Mrs. Dubwaite, who was in one of her fretful moods.

Passing of Barnabee
 .AWakens Old Memories

nSS11LS OI Dd1 udDcS
 AWakens Old Memories lHIENRY CLAY BARNABEE, who U H died at his home in Boston Sum- day in the eighty-fifth year of his age, had been not only an operatic come dian of nationwide popularity, but the refinement of his humor and the finish of his acting entitled him to rank among stage celebrities with w.. H. Crane and the late Joseph Jeffer- son.
 His passing will awaken pleasant memories in the hearts of two genera tions, for only the older amusement goers reach back in time to his monologue days, or even his first ap- pearance in opera-"P "Pinafore" and the other Gilbert & Sullivan productions.
 Barnabee had bass-baritone voice and acquired the art of vocalization, and for many years was member of a church quartet in Boston, which concertized successfully between Sun days. But it was his natural bent for comedy and his rare talent for mimicry that brought him into promi- hence as an entertainer.
 Born in Portsmouth, N. H., Barna- bee received his education in the pub lie schools of that city and started on a business career there, but at the age of twenty-one he moved to Boston. While clerking in a wholesale dry goods house in his new home he took up music and funmaking as an anna teur, but gradually developed into a genuine professional.
 For several years after quitting mercantile life he confined his efforts 1 to lyceum art. In 1879, while "Pina- fore' was the rage, Barnabee ap- peared with the Boston Ideals as Sir Joseph Porter, and made an instan- taneous hit. Others had filled the part successfully, but he excelled in it. In 1887 he, with Tom Carl and W. H. Mcdonald, organized the Bos- tonians, and no company presenting light opera was ever quite so popular.
 Barnabee created many leading roles, but his most notable triumph was as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood;" and this brought him down to the present generation. Having achieved lasting fame in opera, MT. Barnabee was finally in duced to conclude his professional ca reer by appearing in vaudeville. That was in 1904, but yearA were climbing up on him and it was not long before he retired to spend his remaining days in the quiet of his home. Few men in public life could num- Der such great host of personal friends as MT. Barnabee. There was scarcely city in any part of the country in which he had not enjoyed the hospitality of private homes. Some comedians are mirth-provoking before the footlights, but are disap- Ipointing at the banquet board or in a social group. Henry Clay Barna- bee was just the opposite of that type. He loved his fellow man, his wit was lspontaneous and he bubbled over with ;good humor; yet with all his rollicking fun he had true sense of dignity and his ideals were high.
 A typical New Englander, he felt at home in every section and no southerner was more at ease in south ern company than he. Although he had attained to an advanced age and was no longer in touch with the ac- quaintances of other years, his talk ing off will be sincerely regretted, nevertheless, by thousands whom he had delighted.

southside Boys at Front

"One of the most impressive ways to remember the boys at the front was devised and made by Dr. R. E. Net tles," said B. II. Hartsfield.
 Tt is big frame about eight by ten. covered by an American flag. Un- der this. tackled on slips of card board in good size letters are the names of the 40 or more men who have gone from the Southside Baptist church Bible class to the war; Then Our Splendid Mem At each service as the flag is being withdrawn they sing America and then after tn names are called they sing the song which is a prayer in song for the boys at the front. In this way the boys names are kept fresh before the class.

Alabamians Everywhere

"You never can tell where Alabama an old Alabama boy now in Atlanta.
 Ion Saturday J. Kirk Jackson, vice president of the American Trust and Savings bank, Birmingham, dropped in
 on yours truly for a visit He had just
 been down to have chat and some of the federal reserve bank board, who
 comes from Anniston, and we went over to lunch at the Piedmont hotel, run by James E. Hickey, former lessee of the
 Exchange hotel, Montgomery. Lunch over, we went to a picture show, where we saw the Alabama contingent of the famous Rainbow division played upon the screen. Smiling "BilI' Screws, col onel of the Fighting Fourth, came on the screen, and gave us bow, while be-
 hind him couple of Pell City boys were shown doing wig-wag. Two fellows from Birmingham played with a com pany mascot, a little squirrel and an other carried companion about on his shoulders. In the official reviewing party was United States Senator Oscar w. Underwood, beloved of all Alabama and 1 the south, while a lot of handclapping l indicated that there were many Ala l bamians in the audience. Coming out
 of the theatre we ran into Tarleton Col | tier, formerly tutor at Auburn, and a i staff man on the Montgomery Advertiser,
 and by going bit further we might okhave seen Major Mike Screws, aforetiime judge of one of the Montgomery courts. Earlier in the day Kirk had had business
 with Hon. Joe McCord, governor of the l federal reserve bank, who is an uncle of Judge Leon McCord of the Montgom- cry city court

"cold, Instead of Coal Deal


 l think MT. Lowell is right in wishing that the householders should have Monte- vallo coal instead of the Southern rail- road, said A. l.. Barham.
 It seems to me that the coal distribu- tion is getting to be something of a farce. I know it's difficult situation, but the average man in the street, as well as the laborer, somehow feels that the little fellow insnt somehow getting what he had expected. When complaint is made to the local dealer he begins to pour out a tale of woe concerning government restrictions, and before he gets through you feel sorry for him. If you happen to talk to an operator he relates how he is up in the air and doesn't know which way to turn. If you get next to the miner he soon shows that he isn't pleased. In the meantime the dear peepuP get the hot end of it, only it's cold deal instead of coal deal"

 After conferring with the directors al the meeting Saturday l feel confident that the Southern league will have. a good season in 191S," said Robert H. Baugh, the circuits chief executive. The majority of the magnates had nc Idea of cutting the expenses, as was shown by their action in upholding the player and salary limit
 The reduction of the schedule was a wise move. The weather during the early part of April is always indictment, causing a number of games to be post poned. Double headers must then be played later in the season, and many times games thus lost are never played. some of the owners think the season Will be better one than in 1917. They base their opinion on the attendance at the theatres in the south, which has been unusually good for the past season.
