IN GOTHAM FOR A DRINK

New York Correspondence Pittsburg
 Dispatch.
 Four hundred and seventy miles is some distance to travel just for the pleasure of paving for the rail and whispering into the bar clerks ear But two Pittsburgers who arrived here last night thought nothing of the jour ney. Both declared that they were tired of hitting the hay every night with out having the opportunity to discuss events with one arm resting on the mahogany, so they hopped on train for the gay burg and white lights
 "The closing of saloons and places of amusement has made Pittsburg a regular morgue," declared one of the Steel City men. Ut was all right for a week or so, but after that--well, this thing of being regular. especially when q fellow has plenty of red blood, sim ply pals upon one, so We decided to beat it to New York. It is good to see the white lights again and everything wide open. I am glad the authorities here have not gone to the extreme like in Pittsburg. They certainly have made the old town lonesome place."

S7 ONDON, October 15.--I am sending
 today an article written by Mir
 ~ Frank R. Kent of the Baltimore Sun. which gives an idea of the closer union which it is hoped to create among English speaking people:
 An idealist's dream of genuine union between the English speaking peoples of the world is today being backed by the biggest brains in Great Britain with such force and enthusiasm as to justify the belief that not far distant future will see this vision reality.
 It has practically become govern mental policy in England. Such men as MT. Balfour. Lord Northcliffe, Lord Bra venbrooke and Lloyd George himself are heart and soul behind the movement, but it's handspring seems to be Maj. Eve lvn Wrench, a virile, vibrant man, with a vision which plus his ability and en- erev pretty nearly sweeps everything be-
 
 fore it. It is Major Wrench whom many men here regard as one of the coming powers in the realm, who is the founder of the English speaking union. This or ganzation, born not many months ago, today has a membership that includes the most representative men in England, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; and which Is growing at such a rate that the prediction seems not too strong that it will ultimately absorb all the other Anglo-American as- sociations on this side of the water. MT Balfour is it's President. and Major Wrench it's moving spirit It has the earnest we'll wishes of practically every man of power in the British government.
 While there is no doubt that this move ment was in the heads of some or the English statesmen before the war, its real impetus has come from the realiza- ton that the one scheme to which the Hun holds on longest and hopes for hard est ia that of sowing discord between England and America, and between Eng

Redemption of Serbia
 Has Been Accomplished

NITHEN the First Serbian army WV marched into Belgrade the gallant little kingdom was practically \ 7alivered from her enemies. It was
 sroud moment for the Serbians, and
 tly SC.
 Overrun by Teutonic armies, the
 ,rbians, although they fought with he utmost bravery, were quickly driven from their country and those of the civilian population left behind paid dearly for Serbia's temerity in opposing the war-lolds of Prussia and Austria. Tho heel of the oppressor was felt there no less than ill Bel pium. Those were indeed days of sor- row and desolation, for the tide of war had not yet turned in favor of the allies and if there remained any hope of ultimate deliverance, it must have been faint.
 Shattered and demoralized, the Serbian army ceased to exist for a while, but it was reorganized, equipped anew, and with fresh ardor joined the allies in driving out the Invader. With such an object in view, and with success crowning their ef- forts, nothing could stop the Serbians, who chung with bulldog tenacity to the retreating foe, and in brilliant cam oaign of six weeks Belgrade, the cap ;tal, had been retaken. It is fitting that the honor of this achievement should fall to the Serbians alone, al- though their allies helped in the drive against the common enemy.

German Delegates Leave
 For the Battle Front

A N official dispatch from Berlin 6A states that the German armi- stice delegation has left Berlin. There Is reason to believe that the German l;.overnment already knows what the serms will be. While no announce nent has been made from Versailles, 1t is conceded that drastic measures will be imposed. Sending German .eaders to interview General Foch may oe regarded definite step to bring he war to conclusion.
 Whatever hope Germany may have lad of effecting a compromise can no .onger exist, in the light of recent de- 1elopments. Not only will the armi- stice terms be unequivocal and call for immediate acceptance or rejection, put precautions have been taken to ,revent any quibbling in subsequent ,eace negotiations.
 Nothing short of unconditional sur sender is in store for Germany, either TOW or later. That is for her leaders Q decide. In view of the fact that continuation of hostilities will only make conditions harder, the only sen sible course left is for Germany to

accept General Foch's terms and make the best of her fate.
 The internal situation of the empire adds weight to the belief that we have now reached the end of the war. The German government has appealed to the civil population to remain calm during the armistice proceedings at the front. To disappoint them now that they see peace in sight, might cause serious outbreak. The German government cannot afford to take this risk.

A HAVEN OF REFUGE. Their eyes are turned to Switzerland, They fain would seek repose Amid her snowy mountain tops From every storm that blows. The simple life appeals to them With strong, insistent call; The glories of their royal state At last begin to pail. With haggard eyes grown strangely wise, They read the future well; They do not need a horoscope Their passing to foretell. And so they turn to Switzerland. A safe refuge to find; And though they take their trunks along, They leave their crowns behind.

 That class lines have been blurred and in many cases obliterated by the war is unquestionably true; any Englishman wRl tell you so. When the son of the lord and the servant of the lord find them selves, as they have in thousands of cases, fighting shoulder to shoulder in the trenches, they discovered that each was man, and when her ladyship and her ladyship's maid found themselves working side by side in a munition fac- discoveries, too, and the old class bar riers were lowered, and will not be put where they were before. The war, so far as the effect in England, has been great leveler--a great agent of gem uine democracy.
 There is really a new spirit in England today, and it is this spirit that makes her anxious to really understand and really appreciate America, and in return to be really understood and really ap- preciated by America. No ono In the whole kingdom is keener about this move ment than King George. The other day. when the 9 American editors visited him at Sandringham, the King discoursed with great animation on this subject and showed deep interest in variety of7ways.

<, land and her colonial possessions. Mill liens of dollars of German money and
 many methods and means of German propaganda have been poured into these
 countries in the hope that prejudice
 might be so played upon and jealousies so aroused as to force them apart. Par ! ticularly has this been the game in the
 United States.
 It failed there, it failed in Australia and in Canada, but the far-seeing among English statesmen watched the game for while with considerable apprehension and have been at all times keenly alive
 to the danger. Its failure in the United
 States has tremendously gratified the
 men who manage things over here, and
 there has never been time in the whole
 history of the country when Englishmen
 were as sincerely desirous of strengthen
 ing their friendship with Americans as
 now.
 There exists today deep and genuine. and believe, wholly unselfish wish upon the part of the leading men of the na- tion-not economists or business men, but idealists, to wipe out the last ves- tige of misunderstanding and misconcep- tion between Great Britain and the Unit- ed States; to cast out, and forever forget that ttere have been animosities and prejudices; and to cement friendship ] between these two great people so solid and so sound that 1t will last for all time and defy every assault from what ever corner.

Demand for Y. M. c. A. Men

One of the greatest opportunities which the army Y. M. C. A. has ever expe- rienced is now being presented to it. The leaders of this great organization are sending out information that the demand for men will be more than doubled when peace negotiations get under way" said Robert E. Mitchell, recruiting secretary of the Y. M. c. A. for Alabama.
 One of the greatest educational and moral programmes ever undertaken by any organization is now being prepared to meet the unusual situation that will prevail at the close of active hostilities, and the problems will be of such mag nitude that they will challenge the best that is in any man. A special call for accountants has just been issued to the state recruiting office and the situation must be met immediately.
