CiaICu tnal everybody KNOWS tnat all
of us here are opposed to the war;
that this whole nation of ours is op-
posed to any such thing, but Mr.
Blcasc failed to tell us how we could
have stayed out of this war.
"Now l want to tell you just how
we could have stayed out | once
heard of country home close to a
church in which q protracted meeting
had been going on for about three
wpcks. All the chickens had been used
up except one. Many Of them had died
in defense Of their lives, but when
the preacher arrived on this last day,
rather than be chased and captured
in such violent heat and have to die
at last, this last remaining chicken
walked in solemn mood and laid his
head upon The block as the aXcman
came in sight, thereby saving himself
much trouble and vcXation.
Now, Of course, when our enemy
got through with Belgium, then de-
vourcd France, then Russia and Eng
land, Of course, America could have
laid her neck on the block, rs the last
good meal for a hungry brute, but,
fellow citizens, somehow or other,
America is not built that way"

DEATH OF A HERO.
A Soldier Who Was Known Well
and Liked, in Nogales, Falls
in France, Cheering on His
Men With his Last Breath.

When the Alabama troops
were at Nogales, at the time
the National Guard was called
to the border, in 1916, there was
IN the Fourth Alabama Infan-
try a Capt. Julian NJ. Strauss
berger from Birmingham, who
became well acquainted in the
line city, and was liked well by
all who met him.
When the National Guard
was returned to their states and
mustered out Captain Strauss
berger returned to civil life and
resumed the ordinary routine
of the life of a patriotic Ameri-
can. But the declaration of war
with Germany brought out the
National Guard again, and the
Alabama troops went across the
water in the famous Rainbow
Division, Captain StrauSsber-
ger among them.
Some of Captain Straussber-
gers friends have received word
that he was killed in the recent
victorious advance of the Allied
forces on the west front. The
account of his death is that in
one Of the successful charges
he was struck by a bullet, and
died very quickly. His orderly
reached his side, and supported
his stricken commander, he
asked:
"Have you any orders, Cap
tain?"
Waving his hand toward the
advancing line the captain said:
l"On to Berlin" and then the
breath of life passed from him.
It was a fitting end of a va
liant soldier and a gallant gen.
tleman.
