The board of equalization of Jefferson county about to be- gin the really serious part of its work for the year It is about fix the assessments upon which the persons firms and porations of the county shall pay taxes
 1t IS highly important that the board shall approach this task in the proper frame of mind It is vital that this board remember that it is 'equalzaon board and that equal zation may the lowering of tax assessments we'll the increasing of them.
 This particularly true in the of the mercantile inter- ests of Birmingham The merchants of this city have been through very trying period since the began and since the Alabama floods of last year destroyed the crops It only within weeks that they getting back to normal ditions This not the time the occasion appropriate impose burdens place of those from which they have just emerged
 There to raise the sta county and city taxes of the merchants of Birmingham They patriotic who do their full part helping meet the greatly increased federal taxes.
 Ii will be act of patriotism for the members the county board approach their task with the idea uppermost of seeing how much they raise assessments but rather how onderate they be of taxpayers who at this critical and
 trying time for the nation want be free to do their full part for the country.
 We economze in state county and city expenditures if necessary.

 WINSTON CHURCHILL BACK

From the New Republic
 For IS months before the publica ton of the Dardanelles report, MT. Churchill
 vas, most unjustly, under cloud. He
 had not made fast friends with any one
 section of politics. The conservatives did not trust him because he had rated from the party on the question of free trade;
 the liberals because they suspected him
 of "unsoundneSs'' on some blanks in
 the party platform and because they had
 like Mr. Churchill gave them shivers.
 Those who wanted to ginger up the war
 were cold towards him because his name
 was connected with the Dardanelles, the
 greatest failure of the war, and the mod crates, because they remembered phrases of his about digging rats out of their holes Quite a number of people who admired his abilities thought him un- lucky and .fey," as the Scotch say. The result was that when MT. Churchill dropped out of the cabinet he nearly dropped out of politics altogether. On army policy since his fall he made not only the best speeches but the only speeches that meant anything in particu- lar, but they were very generally ig- nored. The publication of the Dardanelies report has changed all that. MT. Churchill is back in politics and before long may be power again in the country.

HISTORIC YPRES

dral had been completely restored only a year or two before the outbreak of the great conflict in the summer of 1914
 "The introduction of the cloth making industry into Ypres toward the end of the eleventh century gave great impetus to the town. It continued to grow in wealth and power until the middle of the thirteenth century at which time 1t had a population of more than 100000 and was accounted the weaithiest and most powerful commercial center in Flanders. Popular uprisings and the great plague of 1888 made terrible inroads upon It. however, and the weavers, on whom the prosperity of the community largely de- pended, began to migrate. The popuia- tion dwindled amazingly until at the end of the sixteenth century there were not more than 5000 people residing here.
 During the seventeenth century Ypres was four times captured by the French, and it belonged to the latter country until 1715. Tn 1885 the old Qualifications were dismantled and the ramparts were con verted into boulevards and promenades.
 "One of the red letter events in the history of Ypres was the great battle of Courtrai, fought beneath the walls of the city from which the struggle derived it's name in 1902. This was the first im- portant battle won by infantry after the battle of Hastings, and 1t was the red coated contingent of Ypres citizens, armed with spears, cleavers and fails. which joined with the people of Burges and Couratrai to turn the tide of battle against the French under Count Robert of Artois. After the battle 700 pairs of golden spurs were taken from the slain knights whose heavily accoutred mounts had floundered helplessly in the marshy land which the foot soldiers had wisely selected as a battlefield''

ssKEEP GOING AHEAD".

dustry, throw wage earners into idleness confusion which would seriously impair the ability of the country to deal with the great emergency which confronts it. They urge that it Is better for each person to go ahead in his accustomed way and with his usual expenditures than to run the risk of disturbing the orderly move ment of trade by encouraging a general change of peace.
 It should be understood that what is wanted in the way of economy is not boarding, which would bring about ces- sation of industry, but an intelligent adaptation of private policies to the pulp lie needs There is not going to be less work to be done in this country. There is more work than ever in sight. Indi- viduals must turn a large part of their incomes over to the government, not for hoarding. but for it to expend among the industries. The expenditures will merely be shifted to new channels. This is the main fact to be kept in mind.
 We do not think the pressure of high prices and high taxation should be the only influences to deter an individual from unnecessary expenditures.
 If the expenditure is unnecessary and the article or service requires labor which is needed elsewhre the expenditure ought not to be made. The rule, of course must be applied with common sense and along with it should go an organized ef- fort to utilize whatever labor Is released in industries where 1t Is needed. Our problem is to so organize our forces that not only will there be no unemployment but that every worker will be employed in the manner most serviceable to the country

MS[ Y HASHINGTON, May 11.-(Special.)
 WW The historic Belgian city of
 Ypres. around which the tides of battle are again swirling furiously, is described in the following war geogra- phy bulletin issued by the National Geographic society from its Washington headquarters.
 devastation have suffered more than the quaint city of Ypres situated on the banks of the Yperlee river, tributary of the Yser, some 9s miles south of Ostend
 At the beginning of the war there were few more picturesque towns in Bel gium than this thriving industrial com munity of i7000 inhabitants, a major ity of whom gained livelihood from the production of Valencienne lace. They were among the earliest sufferers, how ever, for the Germans occupied the town on October 3. 1914 A month later the enemy was forced out by the British, who have held this section of the line ever since, g. fact which has encouraged the despoliation of the historic landmarks of the place by German shellfire.
 t"The great cloth hall of Ypres was the most considerable building of It's kind in the kingdom of Belgium. It was be- gun in the year 1900 by the famous Count Baldwin TX of Flanders and was under construction for moro than cen tury. Within 8 stones throw of the hall stood the famous thirteenth century cathedral of St. Martin, which during the last two and one-half years has been reduced to & shell of crumbling stone above the grave of it's famous bishop, Jansen. father of the great religious re- vival known as Jansenism, that spread through this part Of Europe during the first half of the seventeenth century

THE DIME NOVEL

From the Christian Science Monitor. N VAST amount of transformation N\ with regard to that peculiarly Ss eS American literary institution, the dime novel, has recently been given cur rency. It is being confounded with an entirely different kind and class or nc- ton from that issued by the Monroe ana Beadle concerns, anywhere between 50 and 50 years ago. Sensational stories of comparatiyely recent date are being styled dime novels, when, as matter or l fact, there is nothing whatever in com mon between them and the dime. The
 dime novel was what it's name indicates, a novel in book form, published at ID cents It was neither a serial nor perl odical publication, although the principal
 dime novel publishers. originally Beadle and Monroe, and later Street x smith,
 brought out the little books at more or less regular intervals.
 The stories were neither written nor published for boys, although boys read them. They were condemned almost en- tirely because of their adventurous char acter. It was charged against them that they induced boys to seek the wild and woolly west" to "go out after Indians | to become immature hunters, trappers, gold diggers, and so on; but there IS nothing to show that they actually ex- ercised this influence to any great ex- tent The real dime novel was con- densed J. Fenimore Cooper or Captain  it contained more adventure to the page than the longer stories. It pictured the wild west It dealt with heroes of the Kit Carson type. The hero was always on the spot at the right moment When | the interest was at its tensest point, when the Indians, conventionally painted and feathered, were just about to do some thing the reader did not want them to do, the crack! crack. crack! of the hero's ! trusty rifle was sure to ring out, and the situation was saved,
 That was one very fine thing about the idime novel. It never failed in the mat l ter of bringing about rescue at the moment when all hope had seemingly taken flight In it's time it saved count less thOu6andS or settieIS rom lHo clutches of the hostile red man. If all the people 1t had saved on the plains. and
 in the mountain passes, had remained in the west, that section of the country would have been overpopulated before the construction of the Union Pacific railroad. why they did not stay. and where they went after their rescue by the owners of the trusty rifles, has never been revealed. 1 Everybody read dime novels In the days of their popularity. although everybody
 was not willing to confess 1t. Privately, nobody could see any particular harm in Buntline. if there was no particular harm | in Cooper or Reid. Yet people who did not hesitate to extol-"The spy." the Last
 of the Mohicans" or 'The Red Rover, by Cooper, or The Rifle Rangers. or I "The White Chief" or "The castaway. iby Reid. would give no countenance to adventures, in paper covers. with impos- sible wood cuts, by Buntline.
 The Impression is very general that
