New Liberty Bonds
 Being Sold BrisklX

1.-THE second liberty loan promises
 Jl to be as popular as the first. That issue was for two billion dollars, bearing interest of 31a per cent. The new one is for three billion dollars, bearing per cent interest. Large sales of these bonds have been made already, although the campaign is not in full swing. In Birmingham the campaign organization is just about to start off and the good women will take an active part in the canvass.
 A great deal of educational work was done for the two billion dollar issue and as result there was pa triotic outburst and an oversubscrip- lion of 50 per cent. One might sup pose that no further education on the liberty bond question would be needed, but Secretary or the lreasury MY Adoo is taking no chances. He will be assisted in promoting the bond cause by many able and patriotic cltl- zens in various walks of life-bank- CTS, lawyers, farmers, business men and leaders of organized labor.
 The government needs money, and vast sums of it, to carry on the war,
 and every man and woman who IS making a living should feel it a
 privilege to subscribe. There is a special appeal to Americans of mod
 crate means. The rich are subscrib- ing for large amounts. They regard the 4 per cent bonds as particularly
 good investment, but the government is endeavoring to place a large pro lportion of these securities with the

By Sir Walter Scott. On came the whirlwind-lilze the last But fiercest sweep of tempest blast On came the whirlwind-steel gleams
 broke MEL Like lightning through the rolling smoke; The war was walked anew, Three hundred cannon mouths roar'd
 loud,
 And from their throats, with flash and

 Their showers of iron threw. Beneath their fire, in full career, Rush'd on the ponderous cuirassier, The lancer couch'd his ruthless spear, And hurrying as to havoc near,
 The cohorts eagles flew. Tn one dark torrent broad and strong, The advancing onset rolld along, Forth harbingerd by fierce acclaim, That, from the shroud of smoke and

HIDEous WAKE OF JUNxERDoM

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
 The Berliner Tageblatt of Berlin, sum- ming up the cost of the war to date, says the war loans aggregate $s7,0oO oOo,00O, that 100000 men have ben killed, that the loss In dead and wounded amounts to "A, 900 men, and that 100000 have been crippled for life.
 We do not know how near to the actual truth these figures hew. but we do know that, whatever they should be, the ap- palling record of entries may properly be charged up to Kaiser Wilhelm and the junkerbund of Prussia.
 Eighty-seven billion dollars would pay for 26S Panama canals> A funeral cor tege for the 100000 dead. if composed of hearses each given 40 feet of linear space, would reach around the earth twice and lap over for a distance equal to that from New York to San Francisco.
 If the 100000 cripples could hobble an hour every day from sunrise to sun set, the last battered line would pass a given point sometime after March 1 next. The war is not over. Unless the. men responsible for this carnage and this waste repent of their sins and cease their iniquity the cost will be still incon- ceivably greater in human life and ir material wealth.
 What monstrous diabolism these men ! have to answer for at the bar oi I humanity and at the judgment seat of | heaven

THE KAISER GRIEvEs

From the St. Louis Republic.
 Why do the French bomb undefended cities of no military lmportance?" the Kaiser plantively asks Tt Is barbar- ous," he claims and his soul is wrapped in grief at the thought of such wicked ness.
 He might take his inquiry to grave yards where French and English babies killed by German shells are buried and get an enlghtening answer. But there is no occasion for arguing the matter. Everyone, including the Kaiser. knows why bombs are being rained in no very discriminating way on German cities. The whole thing shames humanity, and perhaps the most hopeful fact in connec- tion with the bombing of open towns is that the Kaiser has been moved to declare that the practice is barbarous when the towns happen to be German.
 It is but one step more to the conclu- sion that the practice is equally barbar- ous when the towns are Belgian, French or British Perhaps the Kaiser will at tain this frame of mind if he continues to think hard and logically.

Alabamian to Be
 First Lieutenant General


 TIT will be several months, perhaps, U before the President names any lieutenant generals, now authorized by Congress. They will not be needed until there are enough soldiers in France to form a corps, but it is un- derstood that Maj. Gen. w. L. Sibert of Alabama will be the first to be honored with the high rank referred to since the Spanish-American war.
 General Sibert's promotions in re- cent years have been rapid, as pro- motions go in time of peace. A grad nate of West Point, most of his serv- ire has been in the engineers corps. He has performed several notable feats in engineering, the work as- signed to him by General Goethals as chief of construction on the Gatun
 
 dam bringing him great distinction.
 But he has proved himself excep- tionally capable as line commander. When he had completed his engineer mo task on the Panama canal he was transferred to the coast artillery ana nlaced in command at the Presidio at San Francisco.
 In 1904 Sibert was only major. He was lieutenant colonel Tn l909, was promoted brigadier general and in 1915 received the thanks of Con- gress for his distinguished services as an engineer Soon afterwards he was made major general.
 At General Pershing's request he was sent to France and was placed next in command to the commander of the expeditionary force. When he is promoted to lieutenant general he will be one of the few men of the United States army who has risen to that rank.
 Major General Sibert was born in Gadsden and still calls that city hls home. He has many friends in Blr- mingham and everyone here who mel him on his return from the Panama zone will recall him as a singularly modest gentleman. When he leads his corps to battle he will add to hi' laurels and on reaching the age ol sixty-four-he is now fifty-seven- Congress is likely to promote hlm t' the rank of full general, retired.

Birmingham Welcomes
 Confederate Veterans

170 IRMINGHAM welcomes the Con- lG federate Veterans of Alabama. This city is glad of another opportuni- ty to entertain these survivors of the Lost Cause. It is always pleasure to entertain the old soldiers who belong to the past, yet hold first place in the hearts of the present generation who, while bidding Godspeed to our de parting boys in khaki, cannot forget the sacrifices made more than half century ago by the fathers and the grandfathers of the soldiers who are going abroad to fight for democracy.
 Coming during the State Fair, there will be many opportunities for the veterans to enjoy themselves. There will be more for them to see and more to do than is usually the case, although they have never yet held a convention in Birmingham which did not tax their strength by the numer- ous forms of entertainment provided.
 The parade Thursday will be a notable event. Fair weather is prom ised and an enormous crowd will gather in the downtown district to honor the veterans who will form but a small part, it is true, yet the most conspicuous and touching part of the long procession, which will be en- livened by five military bands from Camp Mcclellan at Anniston and other musical organizations. The ever faithful Boys band will also be in line.
 Birmingham has never failed to make the Confederate Veterans feel at home, it has never been lacking ir the warm hospitality to which the old heroes are so justly entitled, nor will the present occasion be otherwise than thoroughly enjoyable. Birming- ham hopes that for little while al }, least the veterans will forget sths flight of time and be as boys again.

Natural Gas of
 Incalculable Value

A DDED to the Birmingham dis AA trict's vast mineral resources we now have in prospect natural gas In sufficient quantity to supply the city with light, heat and fuel. The recent discovery of rich gas sands in the Aldrich dome, eight miles from the courthouse, and the bringing in of . great we'll only 230 feet below the surface came as q joyable reward of scientific prospecting.
 Deeper down are other gas bear ing sands and the company developing the property will continue its drilling with dispatch. As oil is always found under gas sands, it is believed that there will be enough of it in this dome to be commercially profitable.
 Certain it is that the gas. even if useo without limit, will last for long years to come. Natural gas as one of Birmingham's assets will immedi- ately heighten the industrial prestige Of this already great manufacturing center. It will prove far-reaching sdv6rtisement for the city and can but enhance realty values in every part IF Greater Birmingham.

After all, it is possible that woman ac- quired her reputation for lacking>a sense of humor from the fact that she refuses to laugh at the old gags her husband tells at home. It may be that we are unjust.
 Modesty demands that woman wear clothes. And fashion demands that the clothes she wears be immodest.
 A barber's contempt for man who uses a safety razor is akin to farmer contempt for man who can't harness 9 horse.
 The old-fashioned man who used to call them ''unmentionables' now has a son who writes half-page ads for depart ment store describing the garments in detail.
 And what has become of the oid-fash- toned girl who wore rat in her hair?
 Isn't it funny that girl doesn't have to move an inch to keep man running after her?
 We don't know whole lot about medi- cine. But we do know that when a small boy eats only at meal times jt is time to take him to doctor. When a man calls himself professor nowadays, it is hard to tell whether he is d member of the faculty of uni versity, chiropodist, or a pool shark.

A FLOATING ISLAND

From the Palm Beach Post
 Deep sea fishermen report that they re- gently saw a floating island in the gulf stream off Palm Beach. The island was about 25 feet in diameter and the fisher men say it was composed of mari and muck held together by tangled roots and routed seaweed that there were several trees and mangrove sprouts growing lux uriantly on the island The fishermen landed on the island and found thou sands of small fish on it which sea birds were greedily eating. This is the first island of the kind known this far north. It is said that they are very common among the Bahama Islands. and it is pre- stunned that this miniature continent be- came detached from some lagoon by the high winds that have prevailed lately.
