Mir. Carle was born near Parkersburg, W. Va, in 1878 and grew up on farm There is a rather romantic incident in connection with his education. His mother was left motherless at the age or 15 with little brother to look after. This brother was Seth c. Price, who when he became grown, went to Mexico and prospered greatly. Later he removed to Iowa and wishing to do something for the sister who had done so much for him he asked for the privilege of sending her son through the university.
 It was thus that J. F. Carle went to Iowa City to the University of Iowa, where he graduated with the degres of bachelor of science. After short stay in Kansas with relatives after gradua- tion he returned to his old home at Parkersburg and became superintendent of school of williamstown. W. Va, suburb of Parkersburg. This position he held for four years. in the meantime pur- suing special courses of study at Mari etta college in Ohio, which institution. by the way. is the alma mater of pr. J. H. Philips of Birmingham.
 PURE AMERICAN STOCK
 Many Of MT. Carle's friends refer to him as "Fritz" z"-probably because that is not his name. At any rate if Fritz has any special significance to the American public at this time 1t certain ly has none in the case of MT. Carle. He is a direct descendant of one of three Carle brothers who came to America before 17oo. Two of them settled in New England and the third in the south. While MT. Carle is modest in referring to such things it may also De worthy of noting that on his mothers side his mothers great-grandmother, who lived to be 104 years old. was the daugh. ter of Elizabeth Johnson Bonham, who was the half-sster of Mary Ball, the mother of George Washington.
 On his mothers fathers side, the fami- ly is descended from the Fairchilds and Prices of New Jersey, one of whom was Lady Cartwright, for whom Elizabeth town, N. J., was named. His mothers immediate family were all from Culpep- per, Va.
 In the family are many traditions of revolutionary and onary days many of which center about the father Of his country. One of them relates to heroine of the revolution, at whose home Washington stopped one time when things looked most blue for the revolu- tionary forces, and she sent him away

In the mean time, he had taken the Scottish rite de- gree and became wise master of Birming~ ham chapter Rose Croix in 1916 and in 1917 became commander of the Council of Kadosh, which position he still holds.

FORNEY JOHNSTON GROUP

If Forney Johnston should announce as an anti-amendment candidate, some political dope might be upset, but the future must speak for itself Forney Johnston is not disposed to do any speak ing. But there was talk, much of it, this week that he would be the candidate of the anti-amendment organization Some gossip went so far as to assert that his announcement would be before the voters within 10 days and that he would go into the campaign with the in dorsement of the campaign committee created at the anti-amendment meeting here April 4. But no one has been found who could vouch for the truth in this gossip.

 But all this is of the long ago. MT. Carle is a lifelong democrat and while he has never held public office. he has always taken a keen interest in public questions. It seems to run in the fam fly. Both of his grandfathers were demo- cratic judges. His uncle was member of the legislature and sheriff in West Virginia. His fathers first cousin is now Governor Stewart of Montana leader of the democratic forces in that state.

 who have made the appeal. HOW TT WORKS

Mir Brandon's friends are the only ones who have made the appeal.
 HOW IT WORKS
 voter is not required to mark a second choice. He may mark his pref erence and cast his ballot But if he does vote a second choice it will be counted for the second choice candidate, provided this candidate has run first or second in the race. A second choice for candidate who has run third or below will have no effect. The law says that in the event no candidate receives ma jority of first choice votes, the second shall be added to their first choice votes and the one who has the greater num- Der of first and second choice votes shall be declared the nominee.
 Friends of MT. Brandon, believing that he will be first or second in the race. seek the second choice votes in the hope that the two sets will give him the nom- ination. They evidently are acting on the belief that no candidate will have majority of first choice votes.
 DISCOUNTED IN PAST
 Up to this time candidates and even the voters have discounted the second choice votes and have declined to exer- else the new privilege Second choice votes in the last election were of a negligible quantity and even the candi- dates insisted that their friends should not vote a second choice, as this might defeat their favorites.
 If great interest is manifested in the second choice votes, the amendists will urge, according to their present view, that those favoring the ratification of the amendment should not cast second choice votes or should cast them for candidates who are considered out of the running As Thmas F. Kilby is the only candidate favoring the ratification of the amend ment. a second choice vote cast by one of the supporters would do harm rather than good to the amendment cause.
 ANTI-AMENDIST ADVANTAGE
 Second choice votes might mean much for the anti-amendment cause. If the leading anti-amendment candidate could obtain practically all second choice votes of all anti-amendment candidates, he might obtain the nomination. At least, the percentage of chance would be great ly in his favor as it would be hard for one candidate to obtain a majority with five men in the field

SECOND POINT IN SUPPORT

And the second point in support of this impression is that each candidate now in the race has received sufficient encour- agement to keep him in the running. Of course, Thomas E. Kilby has the amend ment organization and the amendsts He IS Tn to the end. And each of the four antl-amendment candidates figure that the political winds will favor him and that as the days carry him toward cleo ton day he will be recognized as the strongest man against the amendment and great majority of anti-amendists will center on him as the person to lead the fight against the amendment

tary MeAdoo has publicly compliment
ed them for their activities in behalf
of the liberty loans.
The war Is growing, and American
troops, white and colored, are cross
ing the Atlantic in increasing force
steadily. War news has the right Of
way in all American newspapers, and
is read by everybody. Trained men
are busy collecting it. AL war fea-
lures are covered by them. All faeili-
ties for doing their work are afforded
by the military authorities. It is one
of the most difficult and comprehen-
siye tasks ever undertaken by modern
journalism.
While the war lasts, therefore, the
task should continue to be executed
with due consideration for all printable
details, and due appreciation Of the
performances of all participants.
Americans on the firing lines are de-
scribed as doing their best, and are
eulogized by their European allies, not
only for courage but competency.
Hence, the more complete the stories
that come to us about what the Ameri-
can troops abroad are doing, and how
standing the strain of the conflict, the
better the reading public-the whole
public, of both colors and all condi-
tions-will be served.

Preparing for the Fourth Loan.

In another week the fourth liberty
loan campaign will begin. Prepare
tions are now being made for it, com
mittees are being organized, speakers
are being assembled and instructed,
statesmen are being grouped. In short,
the machinery that has been SO eff
fective in the other three loan cam
paigns is being oiled for readiness for
action.
There is no doubt of the success of
the loan. That is assured in advance.
The people will take the bonds, re-
gardless of the terms. The important
point in this fourth campaign is to put
the bonds into an even larger number
of hands than before, to make bond
buyers of those who were not sub
scribers to the other three issues. The
real success of a war loan lies in the
size of the subscription list, not the
aggregate of the takings.
The full power Of the bondselling
machinery, therefore, will be brought
to bear upon that fraction of the peo-
pie who have not yet become bond
buyers, who have not taken a stake in
the government in the most important
work in its history, the winning of the
war. And at the same time every
holder of bonds of the first three is
sues should be made to feel that it is
his duty, to himself as to the govern
ment, to add to his holdings.
This will be the task of the speakers
and the statesmen of bonds, to demon
strate to the people that they are in
vestors in going concern, and that
those already IN should go in deeper
as matter of patriotism and to pro-
tect their earlier purchases, while those
not yet in should subscribe as meas
ure of citizenship.
During this ensuing week the peo-
| pie of Washington should thought
fully consider the matter of the bonds
they Will take, so as to be prompt in
their subscriptions. The capital has
gone over the top in all three preced-
ing issues. 1t undoubtedly will exceed
its quota in this, the fourth loan. 1t
will be highly to the credit of the
District if this result is attained in
the first week. 1t can be done.

Pinching the Foe.

Foch's pineers are closing in upon
st. Quentin. The French are advanc-
ing upon the southern flank, while the
British are pushing forward on the
north. The former are now on the
line directly running from st. Quentin
to La Fere, while the latter are close
to LIE Catelet, which is on the st. Quen-
tin-Cambrai line. La Fere itself is in
the grip Of an development, but is
desperately held, as it is necessary for
the retention Of the st. Gobain bastion,
itself buttress at the bend of the
general German line. IF La Fere falls
the st. Gobain position becomes unten-
able. If St. Quentin falls simulta-
neously the line must be withdrawn a
considerable distance eastward.
Down in the scissors sector Gen.
Nfangin is pushing ahead, not rapidly,
but with effect. The German positions
there are exceptionally strong. The
soil is honeycombed with caves, which
form an ideal defensive ground for the
enemy. His machine gun squads, upon
which he chiefly depends for resisting
attack, are hidden in these excavations.
The terrain is thickly dotted with vii
lagos, each of which becomes strong
hold. Farm buildings are minor forts.
But bit by bit the French are pressing
onward, taking one position after an
other and throwing the enemy back
to diagonal with reference to the
Aisne, which thus becomes increasing
" menace instead Of a barrier Of de-
Tense, even as the Disc will become if
the Germans are forced out of st.
Quentin and driven into q retrograde
movement eastward.

Sorrows of Revenue Raisers.

Pity the sorrows of the House reve-
nue. raisers! Their work is completed,
and they are todd that they have raised
along with revenue a good deal of an
article spelled with fewer letters. Con-
slider.
At the outset the problem was to find
eight billions of doHars-a record and
a staggering sum. The raisers plunged
into the work, and Immediately en-
countered record difficulties. Taxation
always develops a disposition to pass
the buck. Everybody expresses a de-
sire to pay, but wants deciding voice
as to his own assessment.
A question arose as to prohibition.
The threat of bone dry was hanging
over the country. The Senate was
soon to vote on it. If the PROPOSE
tion carried, no revenue could be ex-
pected from beverages. But as the
Senate had not voted, and as other
sources of supply were full of pro-
tests, the revenue raisers put bever-
ages down for an enormous amount.
And the House has ratified the COM
mittee's action.
Then arose the tariff question. In
the extremity, should not imports pay
a sharei The leading republican
raiser thought they should, and made
the motion. But he was outvoted. The
democratic raisers would not have it.
Then arose. questions. about war
profits, and excess profits, and huge in
comes, and other things involving q
large knowledge Of the details of bust
ness, and about which the average reve-
nue. raiser has small knowledge.
And, to cap it all, at the last mo-
ment came the new Army estimates,
calling for revenue in excess of the
eight billions the raisers were then
wrestling with.
Taking one consideration with an
other, elot-of . Iegen1e laiser ID
