NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE EUROPEAN
 WAR AND THE PART EXPECTED OF US

R1HE burden of this worlds war
 seems now to be upon the people
 of the United States.
 The now Russian government admits that it is in a state of more or less chaos, and that It's people are not prop erly equipped for It's part of the fight ing necessary to victory.
 On the Italian front the gains of over two years have been lost In two weeks. France is weakened and is dependent upon the United States. Her gallant ar1nies have done wonderful work, but her losses in fighting men have been tremendous.
 Germany seems to have been able to provide herself with ample arms and fighting equipment and apparently is prepared to hold her territory and sup port her people for many years to come
 
 So tho burden is upon the army and navy of these United States to end this war.
 Already current report is that we have some three hundred thousand men in France training in the trenches and for the drive to bs made upon Gcrmany's western front.
 The best informed military authorities predict that we will need two million men in tho fighting lines, and not less than one hundred thousand aviators properly equipped before we can make such inroads upon Germany as to cause & peace which shall be lasting.
 When VIC see the moving pictures of conditions at the front in eastern France. we realize the horrors of the war and what Is expected of our people to end it. Already thousands of Ala bama boys arc among the American troops in France, and there will be thou sands more there before next spring. And in the time to come. tho boys now in the high schools and in the grammar schools of Birmingham and all other cities of this country. may be called upon to go to the front i We have one satisfaction in knowing now that they will be safe in ocean transportation.

 But there should be men. and many of them in AIabama-men who smoke themselves and appreciate the comfort and luxury of smoke-who should give ten, twenty and one hundred dollars to this fund If they would cut off few cigars a day, and send this saving to The Age-Herald, they would provide great comfort to the men in the trenches and to the wounded. Usually the first thing that slightly wounded soldier wants is a cigarette.
 The Age-Herald's tobacco fund. mainly in twenty-fiye-cent subscriptions, has reached more than eleven hundred dol lars. There should be ten, and twenty and hundred-dollar subscriptions this week, quadrupiing this fund These can be sent to The Age-Herald and the money will be sent to the several to-  country who are furnishing the pack ages and delivering them free of charge, with the governments gid, to tho American boys in France.

 There are disappointed politicians hereabouts who are prepared to throw obstacles in tho path of this new com mission, and others who are advising that some men be kept in office.
 It Is the duty of every good citizen of Birmingham to aid pr. Barrett and the members of the new commission in every possible way. This commission is made up of men of high type, of energy and of ability. It Is made up of men who go In to work and to accomplish results- But results can only be ob- tained through cooperation and support of the good citizens of Birmingham.

 Another and great work which we at home can do Is to provide the boys al the front with cigarettes. tobacco. cigarette papers and pipes.
 The Age-Herald has already received subscriptions from nearly two thou sand people in Alabama, and it has sent more than four thousand packages of to- bacco and cigarettes to the boys in France. In proportion. however, this Is very small amount

New City Fathers
 Take Office Monday
Take {

ID IRMINGHAM's newly elected ID commissioners will take the oath of office tomorrow and enter at once upon the discharge of thelr duties. Dr. N. A. Barrett, chosen by the people as president of the com- mission, will take up his new work with an open mind, and his long ex- nerience as mayor of the former mu- nicipality of East Lake and his strong common sense will stand him in good stead. It will be his purpose to give the city the best that is in him ana which is as much as to say that hls presidency will be marked by ability ! Dr. Barrett will guide the proceed inps of the commission with boise and dignity and will always have in mind \the interests of the people.
 As associate commissioners four .axcellent citizens have been elected IT. Ellis Brown, J. R. Hornady, the only old member of the board re- elected; John H. Taylor and Henry Page Burruss. While the assign ments to the respective departments cannot be made until the new com mission is organized, it is understood that Mr. Brown, being lawyer, will Lake James Weatherly's place, which will put him in charge of pubic utlities. MT. Hornady will remain in charge of health and education; Mr. Tavlor will have charge of public safety, and MT. Burruss will have charge of streets. That programme IS not likely to be changed, and 1t IS hard to see how it could be improved upon.
 One outstanding fact about the new .coaan 9ssion will give very genera satist lion. Harmony will be the rule in and year out. And Tn z

 much. It makes for efficiency ant insures the respect of the entire com
 munity.

the people o1 prosperous these poor souls. The Jews of the United States are noted for their tender sympathy and generous acts and have been active in contributing to all patriotic causes and war reiler funds for which the country has been canvassed. A goodly sum was raised early in the war for the relief of the Polish Jews. The campaign which is under way in the United States to raise S10,Oo0,000 for the suffering Jews of all parts of Europe has ap- peal for everybody. As it is 8 Jew ish cause and for the benefit of their race gentiles will not be solicited for aid, but any contributions which non- Jews may feel like making will be gratefully accepted; and that the rentile donors will be numerous goes without saying.
 One Jew alone, Julius Rosenwald of New York, makes contribution of $1, 900, ,o00 to the fund-one-tenth of the whole sum sought. And in a telegram signed by Woodrow Wilson the President pays the philanthropist one of his most eloquent tributes. He couples deeds of this kind with democ- racy in glowing terms, and few gems 1 from MT. Wilson's pen will be more highly prized than this brought forth 1 by the occasion referred to. Of the $10,o00,0oo to be raised in this country $20,000 has been allotted to Birmingham. The local campaign is to be opened by Dr. E. N.
