 Possibly our stock is running down in these degenerate days.
 "Of course we can appreciate the de- sires of the mothers of our boys in want ing to have them sent home, but cannot indorse their action in petitioning the war department to demoblize. the brigade The writer of this article has but one child living, a lad of 19 and he Is a member of the First Alabama regiment He hasn't wanted to come home, boo hoo!" so far as we have heard. When the agitation for the return of the brig ade first started we advised him as fol- lows: ''Of course, we would like to sec you home again, but we would sooner see you come back in a pine box than to know that you were one of these mol lycoddles who want to go home, boo-hooi You went there of your own volition, now take your medicine like a man, and do your duty like a soldier" And we'll bet our best mule he's doing it.
 "The statewide agitation for the re- turn of our soldier boys has given Ala bama considerable undesirable advertising and 1t is more than likely that hereafter we will be referred to in the sisterhood of states as the "Boo-hoo State" In this connection it might be well and proper for the Montgomery newspaper which has been responsible in bringing the unpleas- ant notoriety on the state to circulate a petition to the next legislature to change the motto of Alabama from Here we resi- to T want to go home, boo-hoo!'

Copper Trolley Wire
 Stolen at East Lake

Trolley wire, the property of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany. was cut down and stolen sometime early yesterday morning by unknown parties along the Rugby car line in East Lake. The wire was cut down on Fifth avenue from Eighty-third to Eighty fifth streets. The police department was notified of the theft about o'clock yes terday morning and Sergeant Morland and Officer Burkett detailed on the case.
 The city's bloodhounds were taken to the scene and followed trail for sev- eral hundred feet in the woods. The police are working on the theory that the robbers carried their booty away in an automobile or wagon.
 The value of the wire is placed at s250 by the company officials. It is the first robbery of this kind, and police and de- tectives are puzzled by the crime.

Rio de Janefro, February s.-The Jornal do Commercio will publish Brazlps note to Germany tomorrow, apparently having received it from an official source. The note will be published after it has been sent to Berlin. Several AmerIcan c~'n- tries have already been informed of the attitude of Brazil.
 The Jornal says that the note will de- fend with firmness the principles of inter national law and the interest of Brazil. The paper adds that the Brazilian gov ernment will act with prudence and with no intention of provoking a conflict.
 "Brazl,' concludes the Jornal do Com mercio, "has never entered and will never enter such a struggle, unless it is forced into it by the actions of another"
 According to the Correio de Manha, the Brazilian note to Germany states that the action of Germany in regard to sub marine warfare not only Is in contraven- ton of international law, but is men ace to Brazilian travellers on the seas. At a meeting of the council of minis ters, Dr. Lauro Muller, minister of for eign affairs, is reported to have said that President Braz did not consider inter vention by Brazil in the war to be ex- pedient. The naval minister made a re- port on the present naval situation of the country and various military measures relating to the neutrality of Brazil were adopted
