Lord Decies, well known in the United States, and all classes of Irish news
 paper men appear to be agreed that he
 is the right man for the place.
 Lord Decies' censorship office is To-
 cated on two upper floors in a building
 on Grafton street. Dublin-above a bar
 Der shop and a billiard room. Irishmen
 hate ceremony and unnecessary formality
 and Lord Decies is not in the least
 pompous or ceremonious He is always
 ready to meet and talk with the men whose copy he censors, and when the business of the moment is finished he is ready to chat with them for a few minutes on the favorite Irish topics of sport and horses, on both of which sub- jects he is an expert
 The key to Lord Decies success as l a censor however, is probably that he | has succeeded in convincing all classes of Irishmen, whether Sim Fein or Or angemen, of his absolute impartiality I and fairness to both sides. One of the 1 best tributes to his popularity is that 1 he is occasionally made the subject of newspaper jokes. He has pasted on the walls of his office some of the extraor- l dinary letters and clippings which have reached him. In several of them he is i jocularly addressed as His Royal High ness, the Lord High EXecutioner of Copy, l Dublin"
 Lady Decies, his wife, was Vivian Gould i, of New York

Pigeons in London Are as
 Fat as in Peace Times

London, June 6.-The pigeons of St. Paurs are not as fat as they used to be. War rations and air raids have af- fected them materially.
 Visitors to London's famous cathe- dral are not as numerous as they were in pre-war days and even those persons who do feed the pigeons nowadays don't care to pay 25 cents a pint for peanuts just to see the big birds peck. It's violation of the defense of the realm act to feed bread to birds. so the pigeons have to content them- selves from the cab horses dinner bags. ..
 The pigeons of St. Paul's, and of all London too. dread the buzz or an air plane propeller overhead and even dur ing the daytime when an observing allied aviator appears in the sky-and this is almost daily-the pigeons Hutter about and fret considerably until ne is out of sight.
 And at night, when the Boches have come, dropping bombs and things, pig cons are out in jiffy from their roost in the belfry wherein is hung Great Paul of r tons, St. PauPs largest bell, never returning until daylight. They spend the remainder of the night on ad Joining buildings or wherever they happen to alight when the air raid IS at it's height.
 cone could feed those pigeons all the peanuts and wheat they could eat,' said a policeman, whose station is near St. Paurs cathedral recently, but they'll never take on any flesh so long as there are aviators about Bombs and the hum of the airplane worry them nearly out of their feathers.

War Has Restored Some of Old-Time Romance Of
 Gathering News of World

London, June 10.-(By MaiL)-The war has restored some of the old-time romance to the business of news gath ering from places that Americans might regard as the far ends of the world. When the American settles down into his easy chair at night and lets his eye run casually down the column Of his favorite paper over the date lines of the far corners of the world he does not always realize what an effort it often cost to lay before nm the news of these far places.
 Take some of the Associated Press dispatches from Jassy, the capital Of Rumania for an example. Things were going pretty bad for little Rumania last March. The bolsheviki had turned things topsy turvy in Russia and klnS Ferdinand's country was left alone on the eastern front to face the hordes of Germany and Austria. Rumania was ouarreling with the bolsheviki over the disposition of Russian troops which had been on the Rumanian front There were serious possibilities for Ruma- mia in the situation.
 There was an Associated Press cor respondent in Jassy, but the only way of getting news out was by the way of Odessa, where the bolshevid held sway Communication with Odessa by wire was impossible and no trains were running as bridges were destroyed.
 The Rumanian government was send ing Col. Joseph Boyle, formerly of the Canadian army. from Jassy to Odessa in an airplane with peace treaty and when Colonel Boyle flew 200 miles over the mountains he carried not only the treaty but dispatches from the 'Asso- ciated Press correspondent for foward- ing to the United States.

'For God, Home and Native Land"
 fly MRS. MABEL F. LEAkE

The following earnest appeal has been issued by the Alabama Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union to the women of the state for the ratification of the ma tienal prohibition amendment:
 In these days of our country's deepest need the Womans Christian Temperance Union is proving it's patriotism by it's eagerness to sacrifice and to serve.
 The plan of the government for the conservation of food, the protection of the health and morals of the soldiers and sailors, and the promotion of their com fort at home and abroad, have it's most loyal cooperation. Not only is this true at the present time, but for more than % years, the Alabama Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union has proved it's patriotism by laborlng unceasingly for the highest interests of the state through its work for total abstinence and pro- hibition.
 Viewed firm whatever angle, there is no computing the value of prohibition. Counted by dollars and cents, the elimi- nation of liquor from this country would mean millions of dollars that would make for a higher order of things; counted by heart-throbs, only the silence of evening shadows falling over the stricken home would ever tell.
 It is not always a question of what prohibition has done or will do but what it will prevent. It has already wrought wonders in our own state. and in its work for the cause the Womans Chris tian Temperance Union builded better than they knew. Wherever tried prohi- bition has proved 8 blessing. This is acknowledged-even by it's erstwhile en- emies.
 So, if prohibition has been important before, it is now doubly important to the men in the war. Surely all must see it's supreme importance in the present hour, wlel women are morally forced to enter almost all avenues of work-as the women and girls must daily toll side by side with men--in the offices, in the factories, in the fields-thosghtful people must know that these fellow workers should be made and kept sober men, absolutely free from the exciting influence of alcohol.
 Side by side with the Stars and Stripes has gleamed the white banner, For God and Home and Native Land," and 1t Is ftting at this crucial time of stupen- dous world crisis that the Woman Christian Temperance Union should sound the note, "Patriotism the Path of Proh1bl-
 tion," and call the women of Alabama to the colors in an effort to arouse them
