Requisitioning of Dutch
 Ships Fully Justified

e1F HE Dutch government was of
 Il honest intention in the neutrali- ty shipping pact with the United States but German diplomacy was too much for the little kingdom. The agreement voluntarily made, which was to have been carried into effect several days ago, was rudely blocked by the imper- ial office.
 There was nothing left for Presi- dent Wilson to do but to requisition the Dutch ships-77 of them-found in American waters. This drastic ac- ton was fully justified by internation- Il law, and since it became necessary the material strengthening of our merchant marine in respect of food carrying facilities is something that cannot be overestimated.

It takes a whole lot to make you ad- mire man. But it doesn't take much
 to make you hate him.
 IT is hard to satisfy people. We all
 have too much of what we don't want
 and not enough of what we do want.

 that you have to think up brand new

How the War Has
 Developed Oratory

TT used to be that ready speakers H on their feet were supposed to come for the most part from lawyers, preachers and college presidents. In recent years business man, here and there, has displayed turn for speech making, with grace of diction and convincing style. But if such cases were the exception in days gone by, it is not so today.
 The war crisis has brought the lay man and the nonprofessional woman to the fl aground, and made orators of thousands of those who had never before thought they could learn to address an audience with anything like fluency of expression or driving force.
 The talent was there, but it was undeveloped. The stress and strain of the times was required to put men and women of the quiet walks of life on their mettle, and show what they could do in arousing the apathctic and moving them to action
 Since war activities began to spread over the country President Wilson's four-minute men have proved to be as gifted as they have been earnest, and the oratory heard every day at the patriotic luncheons of Birmingham workers has been a revelation. Some of those who were diffident and hes itating at the start, are now recog- nized as the best of speakers.
 The world tragedy in which brave American boys are champions of lib- erty and defenders of the land we all love demands of every loyal soul sacrifice and resolute effort; and each and every patriot will keep his shoulder to the wheel until right is triumphant.
 ! While something besides oratory is needed, no agency has been more po- tent in quickening the American con- science or helping on the stupendous task of preparedness than the speech that comes from the heart of the new born orator. Certain it is that no mo- tive other than that which springs from a war such as this, could have transformed the untutored within short space of time into eloquent men and women.

 AND ELSEWHERE
Photoernnhs of Soldiers

It is quite interesting, the many an- gles which a subject assumes, when one becomes engaged in a certain style of york; said Dolly Dalrymple yesterday.
 Take for instance, the soldiers pictures in the Rotograyure section of The Age- Herald When I started to collect pie lures for the first Soldier Edtion,' which appeared several Sundays ago, visited the various photograph studios in Birmingham. and I found out one thing for dead moral certainty, and that is that nobody is practicing any war econ- omy in photographs, for it seems to me that nearly all the boys who have joined the army or navy have had their pic- lures made. At Mortons attractive stu tistic photographer has been authorized to place in the Birmingham public library albums containing the photo graphs of men who are leaving here in the army and navy; also the Red Cross women commissioned abroad. and there were numbers and numbers of wonder full photographs on exhibition made in the most attractive manner. MT Morton is an artist in every sense of the word, and he is most conscientious about his work and anxious to have it the equal, if not the superior, of any that can be found in this country. Many notable family groups were shown-parents and sons-splendid, manly, young fellows, in the prime of life, solderly looking in their uniforms, as they fare forth to fight for their beloved country The albums of photographs of Birmingham soldiers and sailors will be an addi- tion of great merit to the public library and 1t is a pretty compliment to the men who have gone to the front, as well as to MT. Morton, who has made such splendid photographs, because 1t is record of fine achievement on both sides"

crease in acreage over last years planting will yield, weather conditions favorable, something like 14,o00,O0O bales. But if the farmers, tempted by the prevailing high market and the probability of still higher prices, were to plant for record breaking pro- auction, the object might be defeated.
 If Alabama produces million-bale crop this year, it should be enough to make the growers rich, and at the same time it would give them ample opportunity to increase in large de- gree the food harvest. Let there be no waning of interest in crop diversi- fication.
