the truth of her assertion. One soldier at hospital had been writing home regularly, but a disorganized mail service delayed his letters or sent them astray. He received letter from a member of his family which made him cry for two days. The wife of another soldier wrote him such dis dressing letters that he finally de- serted. These cases might easily be multiplied many times, with disas- trous results to the stamina and fight ing qualities of our troops.
 We might we'll hold our personal grievances and discomforts in abey- ance until the war is over. This is certainly no time to harrow the feel ings of men who have gone abroad to fight and die for us with petty com plaints. When you come to think of it, the least that we here at home can do for our men in France is to write them cheerful letters.

M LTHOUGH it would seem that 6A enough has been written and spoken about the kind of letters we should write to soldiers, this matter, which is of the utmost importance in maintaining the morale of our troops abroad-keeping them cheerful and fit to fight-has not yet been suffi- ciently impressed on the American people, particularly the wives and mothers of men who are now in over- seas service.
 A young woman who has been a canteen worker in one of the large Y. M. c. A. huts in France for nearly eight months is incensed at the tone of letters coming from America. She says, "It is more than criminal to write depressing letters to soldiers" She. relates several instances to prove

~ HAIRMAN EDWARD N. HUR- lS LEY of the United States ship ping board, in seeking to arouse pub l lie interest in shipbuilding and our
 merchant marine, has issued circu- lar letter for the purpose of present. ling various aspects of the situation. | It is at once informative and stimu- lating and is well calculated to
 quicken the nations commercial spirit
 and intensity industrial expansion. "Much of our thought on the United
 States shipping board," says MT.
 Hurley, lis now directed to the opera tion of ships and the arousing of the
 American people to the significance
 of ships. This does not mean that we are neglecting shipbuilding, of course.
 That is being carried on with even greater energy, and will never be per mitted to lag. The faster we build
 ships, however, the more attention must be paid to operating them. So, in devoting attention to our marchant
 marine, we are simply working out lbroad, sound policies"
 Former neglect of American ship ping, it is pointed out, was due to in
 difference and lack of information on
 the subject by the average citizen. If
 we are Ito keep the flag flying oyer
 the worlds trade routes we must put ships and the sea back into the daily
 thought of every American, as they
 were in the days of the Yankee clipper"

 T had always thought my eyesight was as good as anybody's until along came an itinerant vendor of spectacles who made the little hotel where boarde ed his headquarters.
 One night he said to me You need glasses, and I want to fit you, and will sell them to you at cost I let him try a pair and l was astounded at the i'm provement in my vision. A little while after 1 went back to Louisville on a visit wearing glasses, and told my mother why l was wearing them. She immedi- ately carried me down to pr.

Alaba1na's Tribute to
 Senator Bankhead

II T is highly gratifying to those who H have Alabama's best interest at |heart to see the splendid vote given to Senator J. H. Bankhead and to know that he has been so cordially land so generously accorded this tribute of confidence and esteem by his native state. No one in touch with political af- fairs had any doubt of the outcome from the beginning. Alabama had no idea of changing senators at a time like this, especially in the face of such lservice as has been given by the Jas per man. In spite of his years Sena- tor Bankhead seems to be at the height of his usefulness and there is no senator in Washington who is do- ling harder and more exacting war work.
 Alabama is proud to honor one who
 has been so faithful to duty and so
 heroic in achievement.

Renewed Activity In
 War Savings Campaign

THE commercial travellers drive 9 for the sale of War Savings Stamps this week promises large re- isults.
 Next week three important confer |ences will be held for perfecting the Organization among the merchants of the state for pushing the stamp sales. The first of these conferences will r be held at Mobile, the next at Mont gomery and the third at Birmingham, each city being the center of zope of merchant representatives.
 Hundreds of merchants have aided in the Savings Stamp cause and have made excellent records, but at the
 ccnferences referred to the scope of the activities will be broadened. It ! is hoped to enlist every mercantile concern in the state as Savings 
 Stamp sales agent. Alabama's quota is forty-eight mill | lion dollars, but it can be reached if | all patriotic individuals and all inter-
 ests cooperate earnestly in the work
 of canvassing.
 1 Let's make August a month of ex- lceptional achievement and keep up the enthusiasm through the autumn season. Those who have bought Stamps in liberal amounts will be
 urged to buy more. With all pulling together, Alabama will surely go over
 the top before Christmas.

NEMESIS
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 Lieutenant Commander Schweiger, who commanded the submarine that sank the Lusitania, has gone to his own death in circumstances that will give certain de gree of satisfaction. This man, who was decorated by the German Emperor for his murder of over a thousand people, was destroyed in his own submarine. doubtless by a British mine, according to reports that state that the German admiralty has admitted Schweigers death. The destroyer of the Lusitania had been sent to his death with even less chance Tor escape than he gave his v,c- tims of the great liner that he torpedoed. Retribution was just in this case. Schweiger, of course, was only obeyirg orders when he sank the Lusitania, but he was proud of his achievement. He wore his decoration joyously. He was a popular hero and he gloried in his dis tinction. He was a Hun of the Huns, a fair type of the "blond beast that has for four years ravaged Europe, but IS now at last getting his punishment.
