 The only run of the game, as far as the locals were concerned, came in the third inning when Eddie Mcdonald smashed one of Brennans offerings to the left field bleachers for a trip around the circuit. In the eighth it looked rosy for the Moleys, when Smith and Mc- Donald singled, both advancing a base when Moran fumbled Mack hit, but on Altenberg's fly to right field, Red was thrown out trying to score from third. Again in the ninth the locals had the bases full after two were out, but Red Smith couldn't get the pellet out of the diamond.
 The Crackers punched hits off Hill irl the first three innings, scoring one marker in each of these frames. After this the bespeckled one steadied down and held the enemy safe until the eighth, when hits by Mcdowell, Moran and Nc Donald counted another tally.

was, therefore, nothing of the surpFis- ing in the dissimiIarity between the letter sent by the German monarch to woman whose nine sons have been killed in this war while fighting for him and the one which the American President wrote to mother whose five sons had fallen in the war to save the union But these documents as printed yesterday in parallel columns. while not particularly informative, were beautifully illustrative of essen tial differences between the two men, between their mental attitudes, and between the relation in which each saw himself standing with respect to the sacrifices imposed by war on the inhabitants of their respective coun- tries.
 The Kaiser expressed his recognition of the mothers loss, and thoughtsto as- suage her grief by sending her his photograph. with frame and auto- graphed signatureD A noble and precious gift! But, before viewing 1t with laughter or scorn, it is well to remember that the recipient may have viewed it exactly as did the giver. If she blieves, as she presumably does, in the divine right of Kings. it may be that she was appreciably comforted in her bereavement, and at any rate it can safely be assumed that the Kaisey honestly thought she would be.
 Lincoln, naturally, did not send his photograph to the mother who had lost five sons, and he admitted that no words of his could mitigate her sor- row. All he felt that he cou1d do was to thank her in behalf of the re- public her sons had died to save, and to remind her of the pride she had a right to feel who had "laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom"
 So speaks the representative of au- tocracy, and so the exponent of democ- racyi Each of. the letters is cnarac- teristic product of the country in which it originated as CT the man who wrote it. Today the two exemplify the causes for which so many men are dying on both sides of the line be- tween the central powers and their confederated opponents.

THE MORALE OF THE DRAFT

Elizabeth Miner King, in Harper's Mag
 azine for August.
 When the physical examination had been passed and a mans name went down in Class A, first preferred, the pride of being physically fit put fight into his bones He wanted the hardest work Strong lifts for the strong man He joined the boys who called Class the criples," and the navy paradise. On top of all this came the psychology of the uniform. I'm not so sure that the actual fit of the clothes did not have peculiar reaction.
 I recall a case in point. He is on the western front today. He wasn't no- body, but he is fighting in the ranks. He gave me this analysis of the draft spirit from another viewpoint:
 ..The mobilization of the national guard on the Mexican border helped the draft morale. The men kicked while they were there, then came back and told how l fine army liie was. Naturally, the man ! who came back on furlough walked up
 our main street. The first man he met,

ROOSEVELT FOR RUSSIA

From Leslie's.
 At the call of President Wilson, ex- President Taft gave up congenial work at Yale university to serve the nation on the war labor board. Ex-Justice Hughes as readily abandoned a lucra- tive law practive at the Presidents re- quest and is devotings all of his time to the aircraft investigation. We do not know that Colonel Roosevelt would be willing to assume the leadership of the Russian mission, without ques- tioning the most difficult non-mli- tary enterprise of the entire war. His appointment would win the applause of all the allied powers and would be hailed in this country as clinching the Presidents declaration that politics is adjourned"

Compiling Alabama's
 School Census

M LABAMA'S biennial school cen GA sus, taken in July, is now be- ing compiled, and it is believed that with-she number of persons of school .--~ge-seven to tsventy-one years-as a basis the population of the state as a whole will indicat te a substantial in- crease as compared with two years ago.
 The city of Montgomery has com- pleted it's compilation. It shows a school population of 1o,166, of which 5229 are white and 4937 are negroes. The total gain over 1916 is 6O1, in- dicating an increase. in the entire pop ulation of the city of about 2o00. It usually requires week or more for compiling Birmingham's school cen- sus. A large gain over two years ago Is promised.
 Montgomery is growing at faster rate, no doubt, than appears from this years school enumeration. In midsummer many families leave city homes for sojourn in the country, and even where the family remains in town children are sent away to rusticate during the vacation period. Such conditions apply to all cities. It would be well, therefore, if the legis- lature would change the time for taking the census to one of the spring months. The federal census used to be taken in June, but in 1910 Con- gress changed the month to April in order that more people might be found at home.
