 American Reviews of Reviews
 Elwood Mead is a direct actionst if there ever was one. Here is a college pro {. lessor without a trace about him of tha. emasculated material out of which tre academic mind too often builds it's ob- jective world The classroom, an agri. cultural college classroom at that is q place where those truths may be taughr, or those facts presented, which may 9 say spiritual benefits to the race.
 Here is q civil engineer who has mads a new profession, that of irrigation CT i. gineer, and who has compiled the basic materials for such a profession. This man created-ont of the welter of con flict. chaos and custom, into which .he use of water in the west had fallen-a water law, first adopted in Wyoming. which has done more than any other single agency to make the west what 1t is today. Going to Australia, he ere ated there in eight years, even in tha | country of forward looking ideas, new agricultural civilization. Today in the United States he is mapping a new order of rural organization which state gov. ernments and probably the federal gov ernment, ate being forced to adopt. just as the vest was obliged to adopt a law. and Australia a new form of settlemei. by the logic of circumstances and force of obviously superior human benefits.

France Wins Plaudits Everywhere

From The Progress of the World'' in
 the American Review, of Reviews.
 If Americans were gratified over the tributes paid to the Stars and Stripes in England, France and Italy on the Fourth of July, it is not less true that French men were elated by reason of the adop- tion of Bastlle Day, July 14 for celebra- tioE in America, and it's wide recognition everywhere outside of the countries un- der military control of the German gen. eral staff. The French revolution was one of the great moral and political steps necessary to the making of the modern world. France will continue to be French England will remain English. and we shall go on with our work of developing a real and distinct American nationality on our side of the Atlantic We are not going to maintain "a poly glot boarding house." We demand that the American children of naturalized par ents shall te not hyphenated persons. but full fledged Americans, thinking in Eng fish and not hampered by reminiscent group associations. But we expect to cultivate ever closer relations with the free nations of Europe, and there is req son to believe that the generous and chivalrous attitude of America toward France will be both permanent and of great value in world that is trying to learn how to live on honest and neigh borly terms. One of the best practical ways of expressing friendship is that of our numerous American colleges which are now giving scholarships to represen- tative young French women, so many of whose fathers and brothers have lost their lives since 1914. Paris has named a street for President Wilson, New York proposes to name one for General Joffre, and meanwhile thousands of American women are working for the relief of French orphans.

BELL ISSUES FIRST APPEAL

Anniston, September 7.-(SpecialD
 Charles F. Bellp recently appointed
 chairman of Anniston for the Fourth
 Liberty Loan campaign; W. H. Weath-
 erly, zone chairman, and Maj w F.
 Johnston. county chairman, have re-
 turned from Birmingham, where they
 met with the zone, county and city
 chairmen of the Sixth federal reserve
 district
 The Anniston men were much bene-
 fitted by their attendance upon the
 meeting of the various chairnen, and
 return to their home tasks with a
 determination to carry the banner of
 Anniston, Calhoun county and the zone
 in which they are located to d double
 barreled victory against Kaiserisni by
 selling two or three times as many bonds as have been allotted to them in
 their respective positions.
 MT Bell. the new city chairman, calls upon his neighbors friends and fellow
 patriots to lay aside all other in terests which conflict with the ulti- mate chances of winning the war, and he wants everybody to come together in a spirit of real service that will make sure inc 100 per cent American ism of the Anniston people exhibited in every other phase of war work and civic interest.
 The new chairman expects to rer- feet an organization along the lines of the one which carried the three first drives to such an abundant sue cess, and in the furtherance of this task MT. Bell pays a high compliment to the effective workers, both white and colored, who have already shown their patriotism to such a remarkable extent.
 Jt is the intention of MT. Bell to reach every nook and corner of the city. He intends to appoint chairmen, captains and committee members who are active in their own affairs, and who will be willing to make any req sonable sacrifice for the success of the Fourth Liberty Loan drive. It is the desire Of Mr.. Bell that all branch industrial plants in Anniston whose offices are located elsewhere subscribe their allotments through the Anniston offices in order that the al- | lolment for this city may have the ben i eft of such subscriptions.
 l MT. Bell is arranging to give his en- ! tire time to the affairs of the govern ment during the next drive. and he 1 feels sure that the people of Anniston | will not be found wanting when they are weighed in the balance for the 1 fourth time in about year.

 he will win out by decided majority,
 but his friends here declare it will be a miracle if he does. Students of the

Head of German Spy System

John c. Klein, in Leslie's.
 All German spies, in whatever coun- try they may be, report as often as the occasion offers to their chief, Steinhauer, head of the German secret police at Eerlin and one of the most
 important men in Germany As spies go he is said to be a worthy successor to the famous Stieber, king of sleuth hounds, who died in Berlin in 1892, full of German ''honors' It was this man who. under Eismarck's orders years before the war with France was declared by Germany, had 4 French departments. that it was known would be visited by German troops, sown with 3o,000 spies, in the guise of gar- deners. vine growers laborers. domes- tics in families. and hotels. clerks in business establishments and profes- sional men and women. When the War came, Germany knew the weak spots in France better than did the French themselves. Doubtless the German SPY system in the United States has dona as well in the present war.
