"ATTABoY, THE BATTLE CRY

From the Brooklyn Standard Union.
 There is one purely American cry which
 was heard on the battle fields of Europe
 before our first troops arrived there. It
 is the baseball yell, 'Attaboy,'' which Is
 the brief and sharp way of saying that's the boy"
 This word may become the battle shout.
 the rallying cry, the yell of the charge
 when our boys go into action. Certainly it has been frequently used along the western front from the Channel to Switz- erand, and also on the Italian front
 Carried abroad by English. French and Italians who lived in the United States,
 but who returned when the war broke out.
 this distinctly baseball expression has often echoed in the trenches.
 American newspaper correspondents visiting the front in Flanders and in the
 snow buried Italian Alps have time and agani been greeted by this woord. It was like message from home and was intended to let the visitors know that someone from home was there doing his bit. It has been cry of recognition and welcome.
 All baseball fans are familiar with this word made famous by Hugh Jennings, and doubtless a majority of them firmly believe he coined the expression. Per l.aps he did, although 1t is stated on fairly good authority that it. came into
 use in the days of Pop" Anson. But 1t was Jennings who fastened it upon the
 public mind, and Jennings always will
 be associated with popularlzing it.

Music Study Club
 Makes an Appeal

II AST season the Music Study club @l1 had an associate membership of about HOO, and the dues being $3 a year the revenues of the organization amounted to enough to enable the club to present many great artists. The season of 1917-18 opens next Wednes- day night with famous virtuoso in recital.
 In December the new star from the Metropolitan opera house -one of the greatest lyric sopranos ever heard in this country-will be the attraction.
 At least two other dates have been scheduled, and if the membership is equal to that at the beginning of the 1916-17 season several more bril- liant attractions will be announced.
 Remembering what the Music Study club has done for the development of musical art in Birmingham, any ap-

A Shelby County Case

 An illustration of this occurred the other day when a drafted man from for their living a wife. four children and a sister, brought to the dispen- sary his wife and sister who both had developed cases of tuberculosis. Because there was nothing that we could do, seeing that they were not the nurse to visit their home and get local cooperation. Already I was aware of one good man there, the chief merchant apparently of the lit- tie town, who met our Miss Clement and visited the home with her, which in one room, two of them tuberculous and four of them young cildren The townspeople are now interested and vigorous steps are being taken to get the drafted man exempted, and to provide adequate out door accommo- dations and care for the two sick wom- en.

House of Lords to
Be Reorganized

NNTITH the onward march Of de-
 WV mocracy in Great Britain there is an interesting demand among the English people that the House of Lords be still further reformed or re- organized entirely. As it is now the upper house of Parliament Is little more than fifth wheel. It has no useful function and if it were abol- ished altogether the British govern ment would be the gainer.
 But a two-chamber legislature is needed in. Great Britain just as it is in the United States. Viscount Bryce, as chairman of the parliamentary com mittee recently appointed to consider the reorganization of the House of Lords, will lean strongly to body modelled on the American Senate.
 Great Britain has no greater pub licist than the former ambassador to the United States. When it comes to a man who combines ripe scholarship, practical statesmanship, diplomatic experience, and broad knowledge Of the history of constitutional develop ment, he is in a class to himself. His ideals touching government may be traced to his study of American insti- tutions He has expressed his ad- miration without stint for our gov ernmental machinery and he has spoken and written in especially strong praise of the Senate. He con- siders it the greatest upper branch of any legislative organization in the world. He thinks more of it, indeed, than some of our own publicists, to say nothing of occasional fault-find- CTS.
 Law-making bodies in other repub- lies having bicameral system have modelled their Senate on that of the United States. If Lord Bryce suc- ceeds in transforming the House of Lords into a Senate of the American type his achievement will greatly en- nance his prestige already unsur- passed among the democratic states men of Great Britain Certain it is that the House of Lords, as now con- j. etituted, is doomed to go.

peal it might make should meet with ready response. It is an important civic as well as musical asset, and instead of HOO members-the num- Der reported last season-it should have 1900 or more. The number en- rolled at present is said to be less than 800. The canvass being made to increase the membership should re- suit in new high record for the club. Let everyone who appreciates fine music help to make it so.

All France Mourns
 Loss of Guynemer

~ UYNEMER, most noted of M French airmen, is missing and believed to be dead. A mere lad, with all a boys zest for adventure, he was
 utterly without fear and is credited
 with having sent down 52 enemy
 planes during his brief career, which
 began in May, 1915. Recently pie ture of Guynemer' appeared in the TO- togravure sections of American
 newspapers. The face was character ized by the mobility of the French man, lighted up by an engaging smile. It had the alert, though youthful, ex- pression that might have been ex- pected of an airman whose exploits have given him undying fame. In February of 1915 it is stated that Guynemer had never flown an air plane. He was a delicate youth, whose friends feared he would fall an easy victim to tuberculosis. He had never followed sports to any great ex- tent and was preparing for en- trance examinations to the polytechnic school when war broke out. Guynemer displayed such adaptabil- ity and eagerness to learn that after
 three and half months of training
 he was sent to Squadron No. 3, near Soissons. He used type of machine
 called the Morane Parasol, which is difficult to manage, but Guynemer soon mastered it and showed aston ishing audacity in attacking German aviators. His first enemy machine was brought down in less than
 month after his arrival at Soissons After that victories and honors came
 to him rapidly. He was idolized by
 the French and was favorite among American aviators in the French serv- ice, not only because of his great
 bravery snd skill, but because of his
 amiable qualities.
 Guynemer discarded the Morane
 Parasol when the Nieuport appeared,
 monoplane armed with fixed ma i chine gun. He may be still alive,
 wounded and a prisoner in German
 hands, but it is more likely he is dead,
 leaving the heritage of his fame to
 France, which he loved so we'll and for
 which he fought with superb gal lantry.
