PERHAPS.

The former crown prince on an isle Near Holland will remain while. The place Is lone and desolate-- A parsonage, the papers state
 Will sheter him who ne'er before Found time to seek a parsons door. A tiny roof above his head, A room or two, lowly bed, And doubtless somewhat frugal fare Will be his lot while he Is there. If reared in that environment,
 With which he now must be content, Upon simple, godlike plan,
 Fritz might have been a better man.

 T # # wATTERsoN EPITAPH FOR KAISER From the Fourth Estate.
 When the news of the Kaiser's abdi- cation was received in Louisville, Ky, the Courier Journal sought an interview with it's editor emeritus, who, as early as September B. 1914, proclaimed the Iu- ture slogan of the war, ITO hell with the Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs!' although the war was strictly in Europe and only 30 days old when this great exclamation appeared in the editorial columns of the Courier-Journal. Col Henry Watterson, then it's edt- tor, foresaw that the Kaisers must go and that the United States must inter- vene to accomplish their elimination I MT. Watterson was at his home. Mans field, near Jeffersontown, when the news was telephoned to him, says dispatch to the New York Herald. .eYou started it. the Courier-Journal said to him. 'The Hohenzollerns have now followed the Hapsburgs into the hell of abdication on the Courier-JournaFs fiftieth anniversary. Will you make some comment upon it?' He replied: .',rhe Courier Journals adjuration touching the Hohenzollerns and the Haps- burgs has been answered sooner than ! exnected. It's prophecy that in S5 years there will not be crownde head Ill Europe will also come true. It has been for long time obvious that autocracy was on the down grade. This is poor era for Kings, Kaisers and other ilg- ureheads. The world is moving toward self-g government.

Join Community
Sing Association

Sing Association
 THE community sing has been one
 A of Birmingham's best civic as- sets to say nothing of it's musical value; but it cannot be established on permanent basis without organ ized cooperation.
 It is not an expensive institution, but the musicians who make up the band or orchestra employed to render a concert. programme every Sunday must be paid, and in order to raise the needed revenue the Community Sing association has been formed with an annual membership charge of five dollars.
 Mrs. W J. Adams, chairman of the community committee, is now leading an association campaign for one thousand members. It has started eff we'll and within the next few days the number sought should be enrolled.
 The Philharmonic orchestra, which rendered choice music at all the sings last season, gave delight to the masses and reflected distinct credit upon the city as cultural center.
 But the war dislocated bands and orchestras as it did business. Many of the best musicians were called to the colors. The Philharmonic dwindled in consequence, and finally ceased to appear. The orchestra should De re- yived. With the mastering out of the soldiers, orchestra players will be numerous here again. We should not only have an orchestra as large as that heard year ago, but larger and better in every way. z
 With community association of one thousand members the income would be ample to maintain an or chestra of not less than thirty pieces. While this would not be symphony organization, strictly speaking, it would be good nucleus and would in time, under Philip Memoli's baton, develop into symphony band equal to many that have gained wide dis tinction.

Let Donations Be Large to the Mercy Home

M s we approach Thanksgiving Day GsaA with hearts full of gratitude for the victory of allied arms and the triumph of truth and justice in the world, we should not let these larger things blind us to the responsibilities we owe to the weak and helpless about us. It should be joyous task for the people of Birmingham to make tomor- row memorable at the Mercy Home, where 53 orphan children are given shelter and loving care.
 No doubt few residents of Birming- ham arc aware that the home is now entirely dependent on free will offar- ings. Financial aid formerly given by the county and the city has been with drawn. There is certainly no object more worthy of our tenderest solici- tude than this refuge for little chil- dren who have no homes of their own, an institution whose admirable man. agement has never been at fault, giv- ing to these unfortunates a sympa- tLetic environment which is of the ut most importance in character build ing.
 No one who has ever visited the Mercy Home can have any ,nisgivings regarding the good work being done there. The faces of happy, contented children tell their own story. Checks and other donations may be sent direct to the Mercy Home. Generous Bir- mingham is asked to give. The appeal will not go unheeded

War Savings Pledges
 Being Redeemed

S NAMPAIGNS for raising money NJ for war purposes are at an end, but the financial needs of the govern ment as a result of the war will con- tinue for sometime to come.
 The War Savings Stamp drive, therefore, is still in order. Itxs pro- gressing quietly, but earnestly. The encouraging announcement is made at Alabama headquarters that the War Savings pledges are being ie- adoemed rapidly. Many who pledged subscriptions have not only pur- chased Stamps and Baby Bonds in the amounts for which they obligated themselves, but have been generous in making additional investments. When the nationwide War Savings campaign was planned a year ago the sum sought was two billion dollars. Population was the basis. The vast majority of Americas hundred million or more souls were able to invest something.
 The appeal was chiefly to persons of small means. Men, women and children were asked to practice self denial. if necessary. in order to aid

Herman Hagedorna in the Outlook. And there came fiddler, whose name was Truth.n Night, and black pail over the city, Mist, and the winds cry, shrill and

 shakes Like hands the high windows where misery wakes, And, faint as breath on a bubble, breaks The dying lamp on the stair. Winds, and blown fogs oyer the city. - Lo, the white faced, huddled throng Who is he who goes in pity, Fiddling his terrible song? The babes in their mothers arms Hear it, wide eyed! And the children come in swarlns And run at his side. Hearing the silken, sad refrain Of the fiddler's magical, tragical strain Warm as the wind and soft as the rain And terrible as the tide.

Airplanes Need Castor
Oil; Scouts Growing Il

The Boy Scouts of America are also
raising the castor oil bean. This is
by government request.
Their enthusiasm in increasing the
available amount OF castor oil in the
country was awakened when 1t was
found that the government needed IL
for the army airplanes which some
day will be flying by thousands over
the German lines.
w. w. Stockbridge, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. says 1t is hoped
to secure a large crop Of castor beans
to be used in the production of oil
necessary for the airplane service.
Castor oil appears to be the most
satisfactory lubricant which has yet
been found for certain types of air
plane engines, and for this reason the
War Department finds it necessary
to secure much larger supplies OF
castor oil than have hitherto beer
available.
The Boy Scouts are interested in the
castor bean plant because of the great
service which 1t can render to our
aviators. and are already confident
of producing a large crop.

Boy, IS, Follows Fathers

Real romance attaches to the re-

tale of the sea without any halo OF

George Barnett, commandant Of the
United States Marine Corps, Andrew

mother, Mrs. Edith N. Long. at 1S4l
Monroe street northwest, has Joined
the soldiers OF the sea-" and been
sent to its training station on Paris
Island. S. c., where his father is a
captain in the Marine service.
1t became necessary for the young
man to have this waiver, because the
Marine Corps as a rule does not
accept boys OF his tender age, he
having been born February 16, 1913,
consequently is scarcely more than Is.
while the age limit is Is.
Thereby hangs an interesting tale.
