THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

flies before given the reprieve of death.
 Mr Mcclure is anything but a sen- sationalst or extremist. Before our declaration of a state of war with Ger many he was an active pacfist. Lat terly. with exceptional facilities for investigation, he has made personal visits to the belligefent countries and the information on which he now speaks is first hand If he is right as to the intention of the entente allies to inflict upon the individual perpetra- tors of these unspeakabe crimes the penalties prescribed by the laws, of civil lized peoples they. will be but serving the ends of justice. The Germans in prosecuting the war have contenptu- ously and avowedly repudiated the laws of nations, and if those laws are to be properly vindcated their. volators must be properly punished.
 And if the victorious allies adopt this policy it cannot be consistently exc cuted without striking Straight at Pots dam. The monster who began his car reer by attempting in cold blood to rob his father of his crown-God- given though he held it to be-and who has deliberately made of his country's part
 in a great war bestial orgy of mur- der, rapine, arson and loot, should first of all be compelled to pay the penalty of the crimes which have made his em- pre stench and a horror to all nor maj mankind.

 There will be- he said, "the great est judgment day the world has ever known when the perpetrators of the crimes of this war are brought to the tribunal of the nations. For, he ex- planed, it is the determined purpose of France and Great Britain to seek out wherever possible the individual per petrators of the crimes, concerning which documents are now stored in France, and evidence that has been gathered is now in England.
 Among the crimes of which the abso- lute proof is held are the burning of whole villages, with their inhabitants; young girls held in trenches by Ger man soldiers, later found, murdered in the trenches, when the allied armies took them Belgian women who were outra ged and then covered with petro- ieum and burned to death; old men crucified: women who were forced to witness the murder of their entire fam

To Improve Conditions
 at Camp Wheeler

NNTHILE it is stated that health WV conditions at Camp Wheeler, Ga, where large number of Ala bama troops are quartered, are not alarming, there arc more than l4O0 cases of measles in the camp and a number of deaths from pneumonia have occurred.
 The army medical authorities are taking vigorous measures to protect the health of Camp Wheeler's soldiers. The situation there has been called to the attention of the surgeon general and the quartermaster general. Strict orders have been issued to prevent any further spread of disease. The men are required to wear warm clothing when exposed to an outdoor tempera ture and to sleep with the flaps of CnelT teHlS up, tO lliSuAc plSHty VI fresh air. Overcrowding in tents will not be permitted.
 A certain number of deaths from natural causes should be expected in the various cantonments and training camps. Aggrieved relatives are prone to blame the government for some thing that could not be prevented, but there are reasons to believe that Camp Wheeler should not have been located where it is. The ground is low and swampy. Dampness is doubtless responsible for the large number of pneumonia cases.
 It is announced that any shortage of warm clothing that may have ax- isted is being speedily remedied and the government will do everything in its power to conserve the health of the soldiers at Camp Wheeler. These boys deserve and should receive the best of treatment.

 T have had some funny experiences, said R. o.

Monday afternoon I was walk ing down Fourth avenue, when very affable young man stopped me and asked: Is this Frank Willis Barnett2 Sure I replied, what can I do for youT
 We'll, said he, I am 'on the adver- Using staff of the Ledger, and I want to get you to run that Tamworth hog advertisement you had in this morn ing's paper in this afternoons issue. Alright I answered. I hadn't thought about it, but since you are so enterprise ing you may just copy it. like to see young men who are on to their job. Give Jim Smith my compliments and tell him l say raise your wages He started away all smiles. 1 let him get about half block and called him back.
 T hated to tell him I had been kid ding him, for he seemed so happy, but didn't have the heart to let the boys in the office guy him, so told him I wasn't newspaper man, a lawyer and preacher, but simply Broyles, the cut price furniture man. He was sport and admitted I had put one over on him."

THE FOX ON UNIVERSAL PEACE

THE FOX ON UNIVERSAL PEACE From F. w. Howe's Monthly. < One day fox was trotting along and saw rooster sitting on the limb of tree.
 Have you heard the news?" the fox asked the rooster
 The rooster replied that he had not.
 Well" said the fo.i, "a universal peace has been declared. Hereafter dogs, foxes and chickens will play together, and love each other. So come on down and we'll celebrate the great event..
 But the rooster was suspicious, and said:
 II see dog coming this way. When he plays peacefully with you. I'll think 1t over.'
 70. it's true the fox replied, nervous y, and if you want to play with me and celebrate. you must hurry, as I an compelled to be on my way"
 But" returned the rooster. If uni versal peace has been declared, and foxes, dogs and chickens are to play with each other hereafter why not re- main and play With the dog?'' Il am afraid, returned tho fox. as he made off, that that fool dog has not heard the news

pm the St. Louis Republic.

From the St. Louis Republic
 The story told of the 19-year-old Amer ican corporal who was stationed in a lis- tening post in NoEMans Land on the night of the first raid on the, American trench shows that the long years of peace have not taken courage and coolness out of our national character.
 lie sent the men with him back to safety when the bombardment began and stuck to his post until he was surround ed by oncoming Germans. Then he picked out three of them and gave them all the shells in his rifle. When a grenade hit him he was calmly reloading for an other try at the enemy.
 It is that sort of resolution. presence of mind and devotion to duty that in the long run will win the war.

Lloyd Georges Able
 Leadership Triumphs

IF not all of the British premier's 0 critics have been silenced the disouieting rumors that collapse of the ministry was probable have been completely set at rest. MT. Lloyd Georges vigorous speech Monday, de- lending his stand for unity of plan and control on the part of the allies in the further conduct of the war, won spontaneous applause in the House of Commons and the unqualified ap- proval of the thoughtful public.
 The resolute and masterful Welsh man never makes a commonplace ad- dress. He is always outspoken and what he says on momentous occasiors is full of common sense and dramatic fire, but in his latest effort he sur passed himself He was convincing
 
 with his speech it became evident that as the responsible head of the govern ment he was stronger than ever.
 Former Premier Asquith, an inn pressive orator and man of poise and ripe experience in parliamentary debate, led the opposition in the House, but Lloyd George was too much for kini. The latter's contention that only by unity of control could the allies achieve permanent victory was of ready appeal to all chronic fault finders. When the premier made it plain. that he had the backing of both the United States and France even members of Parliament who had been lukewarm supporters of govern ment measures, became convinced that the unity plan was the only feasible plan.
 What some of the opponents of Lloyd George feared was that the gen eral staff of the army, which must always be responsible for strategy and the direction of military opera tions, would be ignored. They natur- ally felt that civilian control of field activities would spell disaster. But 1 Lloyd George is too sensible states man to think for a moment of usurp- ling the prercgatives of the staff. As 1 he said in his speech, he had never proposed anything affecting the army in connection with the war without first consulting the authorities charged with military administration. Unity from his point of view meant counsel of representatives of all the allies-both military and civil. One good effect of Lloyd Georges parliamentary achievement of Mon day was that the bonds of patriotism were strengthened. England, like the United States, has been considerably handicapped by obstructionists. There will be fewer of them in the future, while the outlook for speeding up" of the war will be growing brighter. And to Lloyd George, the greatest l of all Great Blitain's war premiers, i is due most of the credit of whatever progress his country has made in mobilizing it's industrial resources and in arousing the people to the danger of apathy or overccnfidenca-

 "Crawfofd Johnson, who has been appointed state director of the treas : ury department national war sav- inss work, will surrender his private business and devote himself exclusive iy to his new duties, which carry with them no financial compensation whatever.

He is now formulating plans for the cam : paiSn in this state, which will be conducted simultaneously with those in all other states for the purpose of educating the masses of the people in thrift and inducing them to invest in war savings certificates.
 The government attaches great importance to this work and the value of 1t Is generally recognized by bank CTS and fnanciers.

 Against Negro Exoous

F1H HE annual report of Principal
 ~ R. R. Moton of Tuskegce insti- ute to the board of trustees for l916-17 appears in the institute bulle- tin just received. As usual, it pre- sents interesting information and timely suggestions.
 Nothing done by the principal dur Ing the year has been more appre- ciatcd, perhaps, by the white people of Alabama than his efforts to check negro migration from the south. He has made speeches in farming sections with view of cementing "more firm ly the bond of mutual cooperation between the races" His aim has been sboth to encourage the colored man to stay in the south and fight out his salvation as far as possible, and to enable the white man to realize that faircr treatment of the negro means economic prosperity for our common southland
