CLEMENCEAU

From the Atlantic.
 Some accuse him of being an aristo- crat at heart-certainly an old-world dis tinction and courtesy cling to him. He is charming in conversation. Nor Is 1t hard to imagine him one of the most noted duelists of the day. He has the manner which goes with swordsman- ship; alertness, an intrepid eye, cer- tain bluff heartness. Yet he is practical withal, and combines the acuteness of 8 man of business with the instincts of a pre,lx chevalier. He has double char acter; one-half student and philosopher some one caught him reading Theo- critus in the true spirit e MScaulay's 8 Scholar-the other half man of action And sometimes, no doubt, the philosopher is uprermost, killing the physical activ- ity. Again, a temperamental impatience to cut way through difficulties may lead to drastic measures which another judgment would repudiate. Indeed, the balance is hard to establish. for his Gallic nature is speedily aflame and his temper leaps to the combat at the signal of attack. Yet generally it is we'll con- trolled by brain that is steel-cold in its analysis and piercing power.

American Telephone Girls
 Helping to Defeat Kaiser

THERE are now 100 American tele- 4 phone girls on duty in France as military operators. There are 150 more in training schools in Washing ton who may soon be sent overseas, with a reserve force of 400 on file, out of about 5000 applicants.
 These figures show how carefully telephone girls are chosen for duty abroad. It is said that the tests they undergo are quite as severe as any the soldier or sailor is subjected to, and the reason is obvious. The telephone Ihas aptly been called "the nerves of the army" The telephone exchanges are often located short distance be- hind the trenches and no operator who lis not cool and courageous in addition to possessing the necessary skill, can hold position of this kind.
 From all reports the American tele- phone girl is making good in France. The first contingent sailed March 2. Others have since followed. They were required not only to speak French and English fluently, but had to prove their loyalty and their fitness to be lentrusted with military information.
 As indicating how much more eff ficient American operators are than French girls, it takes from forty to sixty seconds in Paris to complete one call. The American girls can handle three hundred calls an hour. They are playing their part in the battle fol democracy and few of us who scan the dispatches realize how important a part it is.

X x Large Increase in Hogs in Alabama

6HHE appeal of the government to U the farmers of the south for increased food production has met with gratifying results. There has been an appreciable increase in corn acre age in every southern state and in some states a bumper potato crop is lin sight.
 In Alabama very important factor in food increase is the hog. It is es- timated that 25 per cent more hogs are being raised in this state this year than in 1917, when the number was larger than usual.
 Few crops will prove more profit able than the hog. It used to be that hog cholera played havoc with the farmers swine, but all progressive !husbandmen have, by the use of pre- ventive remedies, made their hogs immune from disease of every sort. Another noteworthy fact in hog
 growing in the south, certainly in
 Alabama, is the improved breeding.
 Poor stock is coming to be the excep-
 tion to the rule.
 if Alabama does not reach the hun
 dred million -bushel corn class this
 year the yield should exceed that of
 1917, which showed the highest rec
 ord up to that time. With great
 corn crop and a big increase in hogs,
 to say nothing of beef cattle, Alabama
 will much more than feed itself. It
 will have large surplus of food for export.

problem, but rather'a problem of in- creased production of war essentials
 and the saving of the materials and labor necessary for the support and equipment of our army and navy. Thoaghtless expenditure of money for nonessentials uses up the labor of men, the products of the farm, mines and factories and overburdens trans portation, all of which must be used to the utmost and at their best for war purposes"
 In further stressing the thrift idea the President points out that "the securities issued by the treasury de- partment are so many of them within the reach of everyone that the door is wide open to all of us. To practice thrift in peace times IS virtue, and brings great benefit to the individual at all times; with the desperate need of the civilized world today for ma terials and labor with which to end the war, the practice of individual thrift is a patriotic duty and neces- sity."
 While the war savings or thrift campaign is to continue throughout the year, an intensive drive the last week in June should result in revenue equal to something like half the two total sought by the war savings method. Alabama, like every other wide-awake and patriotic state, will be on it's mettle.

q F T Birmingham Not Getting Money of the Soldiers

ACCOMPANYING on the creditable NJ showing made by Memphis in sending soldiers, officers and doctors to the army and in contributing money to war funds, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal says: Atlanta, Nashville, Chattanooga, Birmingham and Montgomery and the cities of North and South Carolina have enor- nous cantonments. They are rich in money of the soldiers"
 Citizens of Birmingham would be very much surprised to hear that this city had an ''enormous cantonment." !" Camp Mcclellan, the cantonment nearest to Birmingham, is located at Anniston, sixty miles distant. Camp Sheridan, the only other cantonment in the state, is located at Montgomery, more than one hundred miles away. Birmingham profits financially from neither of these camps.
 For a time there were quite num- Der of military visitors from Camp Mcclellan, but when it was discovered that these welcome guests were "tak- ing French leave" of camp in order to enjoy our hospitality, military police were sent over and since then there have been few soldiers on our streets, except when contingent of troops en route to some point deleted by the censcr was detrained for exercise, or when troops came over to take part in 2 parade.
 On the contrary, Birmingham has been contestant for prizes which went elsewhere, yet the city has not lost it's patriotic spirit. It oversub- scribed its quota for each of the Lib erty Loans and has given three times as much as the Red Cross asked for.

 He was always polite. It was easy to see that he was finely bred, but he was extremely reticent about himself or his family. I found out, but not from him, that he was the nephew of a great Canadian railroad president who was knighted, and that one of his sisters would shortly sail for France as Red Cross nurse.
 He loved children, and made friends with the boys on the train. A little S. year-old boy at Union Springs greatly delighted him by asking him if he had ever seen any little boys with their hands cut off, and when told that he had and had also seen some little girls in the same fix, the little lad said, T know why they cut the boys hands off It was SC they couldn't be soldiers, and I know why they cut the little girls hands off it was so they couldn't work for the Rec Cross The sergeant liked to bring il in in his talks

Practice of Economy
 Urged by President

1DsEslDENT WILSON is mani E festing profound interest in National Thrift Daytime 2s--when a conceded effort will be made by those in charge of the War Savings campaign to score notable achieve ment. Plans are being perfected for a great June drive for the sale of Saw ings Stamps and Baby Bonds, and Alabama should be we'll to the front. Wage katners who work full time are flush with money. The farmers are prosperous, and the merchants are prosperous. The majority of the peo- pie of Alabama have invested in Liberty Bonds and have contributed literally to the Red Cross, and now everybody is expected to invest in Baby Bonds. In order for the masses to do their part the savings habit must be cultivated systematically.
 The President makes an earnest ap- peal to Americans to "buy only those things which are essential to indi- vidual health and efficiency" and to
 
 volunteer on or before June 2s to in- vest in Thrift Stamps or other gov ernment securities, meaning Baby Bonds.
