the bolsheviki attacking her new ally, whom she intends to put to good use, is expected to help the Ukrain- ians with arms and thus contribute further to the dismemberment of Rus sia, on which she is determined. How ever, it may be necessary to reopen hostilities against Russia herself and resume the interrupted campaign to capture Petrograd.
 Yet, even if the foolish bolsheviki, lured into the German trap and re- alizing when too late that they have been duped, attempt resistance, what kind of army could be put in the field? Who would lead it? How could it be provisioned and equipped for service? The 'bolsheviki seem to have plenty of pluck, although slow in showing it, but they have made such a hopeless mess of things that their country stands defenseless, quite un- able to repel the invader if it suits his purpose to take their capital.

GRAVES IN SCOTLAND

does not make him less loyal as an American than otherwise he could be-
 The first American dead--at least the first Americans who died under arms, after many noncombatants had been murdered at sea by German pirates-were buried in France. which gave to America Rochambeau and La- Fayette. The graves of the victims of the Tuscania are in a country which gave America an element of popula- ton that always has been an element of moral strength and of military strength. Those graves are where many of those who pauses reverently before a mound marking the last rest ing place of an American soldier will find a family name, Scotland gave much, in blood and in the courage of council fires, to the freedom of Ameri- ca. In the death of the soldiers who were lost when the Tuscania was tor- pedoed America makes a return which serves to cement the more closely the friendship of the Americans and the Scotch.

Sloss- Sheffield Co.'s
 New Executive Head

0T7.HE promotion of J. w. Mcqueen
 8 to the presidency of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company was Imerited, and it is safe to assume that the action of the board of directors will be enthusiastically applauded by the company's large army of work
 men.
 MT. Mcqueen is typical of the men of the south who, starting at the
 bottom of the ladder, have by pluck and capacity risen to the top. At the age of fifteen he began to learn telegraphy while in the employ of the Alabama Great Southern railroad, and in due time was advanced to the position of train dispatcher In 1891 he entered the service of the Sloss- Sheffield company as a clerk and rose isuccessively through various minor offices until he became manager of sales and later vice president. He made himself familiar with mining and blast furnace operations and now his equipment for executive duties
 goes without saying.
 
 MT. Mcqueen has not only figured
 prominently in the industrial world
 for many years past, but he has been
 one of Birmingham's most public spirited citizens. In the new honor that has come to him he will cause his host of friends to rejoice and shower him with congratulations.

WHEN A SOLDIER BOY DIES

From the Montgomery Times.
 When soldier boy dies out at Camp sheridan and the body is hauled through the streets of Montgomery, with the dead march being played and the escort carrying arms at re verse. it is one of the saddest sights imaginable.
 There is a stiffness on Dexter ave- nue and Commerce street as the funer- al party marches by, carrying the body of the soldier boy to the depot. to be shipped to his loved ones at home and if you will watch the crowd lined up on the sidewalks as the body is wheeled by wrapped in the em- b,ens of the nation, you win see many strong man put his hand to his eye to wipe away the unbidden tear.
 The soldier boy who dies in camp, preparing to go across. is just as much a hero as if he had fallen while charg- ing cannon going over the top. The parents of the young soldiers back at home have the heartfelt sympathy of ell in this city and the death of a boy they have never seen makes them feel a personal sorrow in the loss the nation has sustained.

VI " Kaiser Plans New War on Russia

If INTERESTING news, indeed, comes A from London, where it is reported that Germany has decided to renew hostilities against Russia. In these topsy-turvy times anything is liable to happen, yet the prospect of hos tile army of Teutons marching on Petrograd because Trotzky sticks to his plan of mo war, but no peace" is one of the most amazing developments of situation unique in history.
 We are informed through dis patches from Holland that the war lords, his august majesty, Wilhelm, and his two right-hand men in war ring on civilization, Won Hindenburg and Won Ludendorff, together with the subservient Chancellor Won Hert- ling, Foreign Secretary Von Kuehl- mann and others, held conference at imperial headquarters and decided that the bolsheviki must be taught a lesson.
 Ukraine will be the pawn in the game. Germany, with the prospect of

JEFFERSON AND IRVING

have fulfilled on that occas sion an old ambition to appear in the Ade1phi the- atre, London. when he was seen there on the date named, in Rip Van Win- kle.' Returning to New York, after a long run of the pay in London, he was so successful that he appeared exclusively in the piece for 15 years
 Washington Irving died in 1859. It was six years later before Jefferson and his friend had dramatized Irvings famous story, hence Irving could not has "cribbed" the story from Jeffer- sons plot.
 Joseph Jefferson, who was born in 1929. made his first appearance on the stage when he was 3 years old, pre- senting himself as the child of Cord in "Pizarre." He remained behind the until his death in 1905
 It is remarkable that Jefferson $ father, grandfather and great-grand- father had all been players, and two of his sons, Thomas and Joseph, also be- came players. Jefferson's mother was. before her marriage to his father, the widow of Thomas Burke. the comedian. In 1856 he played his first time in Lon don, where his great grandfather had played in the time Of Garrick.
 The last work that Irving wrote was a life of George Washington in the preparation of which he was engaged from 1855 to 1859, the latter being the year of his death. His Rip Van Win kle" must have been written many wears before the Life of George Wash ir

Dancing Man Who
 Died a Hero

V1TSHERE was a time when Vernon < Castle was believed to have more brains in his feet than his head It was the custom to speak of him as "only dancing man." although re- markedly successful one, withal, in the matter of obtaining large pay for his services, both on the stage and as an instructor to the ultrafashiona- ble. He certainly did not look the part of hero. He was apparently an inn bodiment of the idle, worthless young men of his time who toll not, neither do they spin, but shine in cabaret life. It is probable that few theatregoers who observed him from an orchestra seat or box ever suspected that he possessed the qualities that made the dancer the idol of the British army.
 Castle was accidentally killed yes- terday at Forth Worth, Tex, and while he was far away from the scenes where he made an honorable record that any man might be proud of, he died heroic death. He lost con- trol of his machine while trying to avoid cadet flyer. The cadet was not injured, but Castle had swerved his machine too far and fell.
 When it was first announced that Castle would enlist in the British avia- ton corps, the worldly wise merely smiled. It was regarded as smart work on the part of his press agent. But he learned to fly, went abroad and soon the newspapers were herald ing him as one of Great Britain s most daring airmen in flights over the German lines It is said he made more than one hundred and fifty flights and figured in many brilliant exploits, particularly on the Flanders front
