All Our Civic Bodies
 Back Community Idea
.itv Idea

M(OST of Birmingham's civic or 3VS ganizations have been honored with a "day" at the community con- certs and their presence in body has been an inspiration to the community singers and to others taking part in the Sunday afternoon entertainments.
 Director Lawrence has invited the Kiwanis club to attend next Sunday. I'll Sunday following will be "Civitan
 and then will come Greater EiFsiiaai Day." when all the civic organizations will be asked to unite and make the occasion the greatest of all.
 The public is now appreciating more than ever the value of the patriotic side of the "sings," as we'll as the musical and civic. Birmingham is dis tinctly patriotic city and the con- munity singing is doing a large part in developing the true spirit of loy- alty and keeping it keyed up to the highest pitch.

DEALING WITH THE SUBMARINE

Ian Hay (NIaj Ian Hay Beith, M O. in the Worlds Work.
 | S7 EFT it be said at once that so far II no sovereign remedy, no patent G panacea, has yet been devised for dealing with the submarine. But some times a number of little remedies are as good as one big remedy. Certainly they keep the enemy guessing all the time.
 But first of all, what are. our chief difficulties In the matter? A modern sub marine is an excellent sea boat, both on and below the surface, and under the latest methods of control should rarely meet with an ordinary sea mishap. Fur ther, with the increased size of the boats and the increased comfort involved. the morale of the crew is no longer exposed to any great strain. So there is no longer anything specially heroic or romantic in the business Moreover, a submarine is difficult to locate, especially in deep water. She can discharge a torpedo without coming to the surface. And she cannot be attacked unless she attacks first-for the simple reason that other
 wise you would not know she was there.
 Again, if you should catch her on the
 surface-taking in air, or charging her
 batteries-she can dive out of sight in
 less than minute.
 Still, despite all these facts in her fa-

Famous Educator
 Will Speak Today

| e ToCKTON ARSON, national sec
 g retary of the American Red
 Cross society and one of the most dis ltinguished educators in the United
 States, will deliver an address at the
 Tutwiler this afternoon at 2 o'clock
 on Red Cross work He is making a
 tour of the country for the special
 purpose of arousing interest in the
 junior Red Cross membership cam
 paign, which is now being organized
 and which will be in full swing early | in February.
 Today being holiday MT. Axson
 should be greeted by large and rep lresentative audience. As the teachers in the public schools will come in close
 contact with the junior membership
 activities, all of them are urged to be lpresent. The children of Birmingham
 and of every other city in the country
 can accomplish much in war work by
 well directed organizations. MT. Axson will explain the things that boys and girls can do in prac- tical way to make our soldiers more comfortable and to ameliorate suf- fering in the army hospitals. And still more. They can create an atmosphere |of patriotism in homes where apathy prevails. There may not be many such households. There should be hone.
 When the children start out as Red
 Cross workers they will spread en- thusiasm everywhere and will prove valuable adjunct to the senior Red
 Cross.
 MT. Axson is known to be pleas | ing and forceful speaker, and every one interested in the Red Cross should strive to hear him.

BLuFFED A GERMAN SENTRY

From the Scientific American.
 The special correspondent of the Petit Parisien on the British front has a story obtained from a German prisoner which reads like juvenile novel.
 It appears that an English aviator. descending from the sky, landed gently near Roche sentinel. The aviator asked him in purest German where the officer in command of the Gothas was to be found, saying that he had an urgent message for him.
 The sentry replied: 'The Herr com mandant of the Gothas lives where the Gothas are. but the Herr Lieutenant knows that" To which the aviator replied: Yes, my lad. but in the fog have missed my way and now I am lost" Answered the sentry: "Ah, yes. know, the same thing happened the other day to Herr von Schultz, my captain . following which. and with the greatest of deference. he gave directions as to how to get to the Gothas.
 The aviator had hardly taken to flight again when the sentinel noticed to his horror the British marking son the planes!

vori the submarine has not quite lived up to the pious aspirations of Grand Admi- nal Tirpitz. Xllied losses in merchant shipping have been kept down, and are decreasing. There are many secret meth ods of putting the submarine out of bus- ness which at present must remain se- cret Some of them are most interest," ing-fascinating in fact-and the mortal ity which they have caused among the u-boats has been very heavy. How heavy. only Potsdam knows!
 But apart from these attractive secrets, a great deal can be done. and is being done, by regularly patrolling which
 forces the enemy to remain under water
 or emerge at his peril; secondly, by send
 ing all merchant ships by unusual and
 constantly varied routes, and lastly, as
 system of conveying over dangerous
 areas. This conveying work calls for a
 large number of war vessels. Until re-
 gently, the entire burden, on the Atlan-
 tic routes, at any rate, has fallen on the
 British navy, but recently America has
 reached a long arm across the ocean and
 deposited some fresh pieces on the
 board: and now, when an American
 crosses to Europe, he will as likely as not find himself escorted safe into an
 English harbor by a number of long gray
 rakish vessels flying a flag pleasantly
 familiar.

The Governor Solves
 Textbook Problem

| IN OVERNOR HENDERSON and I9 his school book commission
 reached a wise conclusion when they
 agreed to make no new contracts with publishers at the expiration of the five-year period, but to continue pres
 ent contracts for two years. The gov
 ernor's address to the commission
 showed that he had a broad knowl- edge of the situation and that he was
 closely guarding the interests of the people.
 A change of textbooks always en- tails large expenditure upon the patrons of the public schools. It has been the custom to make new con- tracts every five years, but at this particular time a change would fall
 more heavily upon the public than
 usual, as it is doubtful whether pub llishers could furnish the same books on the same terms as formerly.
 The cost of production, it is said, has nearly doubled since the present contracts were made. There are about Ia dozen publishers holding contracts, and it is believed that every one of them will readily accept the commits |sion's proposition. When the war ends histories and geographies must be revised. And at
 the end of two years it may be seen
 whether it is best, in view of coming
 changes, to extend the contract period year or two longer, or to call for new contracts then. Governor Henderson's course is sure to meet with general approval.

MEDDLING WITH SOLDIERS om the Chattanooga Times.

From the Chattanooga Times.
 Would 1t not seem that all this per- fervid solicitude for the morals of the American soldier-shutting him up in a corral and building q fence around him so that he can't be tempted--is becoming a trifle wearisome and the exhibition very much overdone? What is an Amer ican soldier, anyhow? Isn't he son or freo America? Hasn't he any prioe' any moral ideals, any self-restraint, that ne must he coddled, set apart and fed on mush and milk? VIII not the Kaiser pc justified in smiling with self-satisfaction when he reads of the kind Of soaoiers Uncle Sam is thinking of sending against his veterans? If we become maudhn can we blame our soldier boys if they iyohibe a bit of the same sort of weak ness? Let's make up-standing. self-re- liant. self-disciplined men out of the boys, and not pampered. hothouse molly coddles whose every act has to be pre- scribed by some moral dilettante. The boy who can't be trusted to stand four square in the training camp isn't going to be worth much with q gun on the fir ing line. The war department has ample rules and regulations for the restraint and discipline of soldiers. It would be q fine thing if the meddlers would let the department alone and mind their own business Perhaps some of them might get in the trenches and show how 1t ought to be done by example. Their precepts are getting on the public nerve.

HOMES FOR WORKERS

writing only about 1900 rooms are avail- able, or about one-eighth of the required facilities
 As the governmentis obliged to ask the steel plants to speed up the output of munitions, it will be necessary for the latter to employ thousands of addi- tional workmen. In some manner, hous- ing accommodations must be found for them, and the canvass now in the course of being made will be extended to every city, town, hamlet, and even the country districts within a redius of 30 miles of Bethlehem. A place to sleep and eat must be found for the new workers, and no step will be left unturned to house them suitably
 A similar problem confronts New England manufacturing city, where no less than Is factories are engaged in turning out war contracts. If these plants are to be run at their full capacity nearly 10000 additional men must be taken on the pay roll. Yet there now exist vir- tually no living quarters available for them.
 There is a large steel company in New York state, mainly employed on govern ment contracts, which has nearly com pleted very extensive additions to it's present plant In going over the situa- ton the other day with the board of di- rectors, it developed that the enlarged establishment could run at only two- thirds of its capacity, unless immediate provision be made for the necessary housing of the required quota of em- ployes

From Emergency Housing for War time" by Capt. Sherman M Craiger, in l the American Review of Reviews.
 l TN the past few weeks the national gov 1 II ernment has suddenly been con- . fronted with an entirely new problem having to do with adequate shelter for
 the civil army of industrial workers, now
 mobilized tos operate the great wartime | manufacturing and other plants. Almost overnight there has come about a short age of industrial housing accommoda- | tions, along with congestion of popu-
 boom cities So rapidly has our indus | trial expansion moved in recent months | that not only was this condition un- | looked for, but probably could not have been averted.
 I The nation is face to face with a short l tage of sanitary homes. Indeed. the sit- uation is seriously hampering the volume of our war production. One cannot visit a live town of any considerable manu- facturins importance in the United States without redHzlns tnat employers dnu municipal authorities are at their wits end to provide enough clean places to sleep for workers in the factories.
 Early in November a house-to-house canvass was begun in Bethlehem, Pa, by agents of the Bethlehem Steel company, on a quest for suitable accommodations

No Place in the Army for Brutal Officers

1F HE army medical officers, con-
 4 victed by courts-martial of mis- treating sick soldiers were sen fenced to be dismissed from the army. Secretary Baker, after reviewing the records of the trials, returned them with the suggestion that more se- were penalties be imposed. In this he will be upheld by everyone who has the welfare of the American sol dier at heart, for the two cases seem to have been particularly atrocious examples of "Prussian tactics" in the American army.
 Both of the guilty officers were lieutenants, one stationed at Camp Funston and the other at Camp Beaureguard. It was brought out in the trial of First Lieut.. John G. Dwyer, on hospital duty at Camp Funston, that soldier in an ad- vanced stage of pneumonia, who re- ported for treatment, was reprimand- ed for not saluting and sent back to duty, with the recommendation that he be given double duty. The man died few days later.
 First Lieut.. Charles w. Cole, in charge of the base hospital at Camp Beauregard, was accused of having kept an ambulance full of sick men waiting for an hour in the cold and rain before he came out to look at them. It is alleged that he told the ambulance driver there was no more room in the hospital for patients, al- though evidence showed that nine more men could have been accommo- dated, and ordered him to take the sick soldiers back to their commands. When the driver protested that one an was delirious, the lieutenant ad- yised that he be tied, which was done. Two of these soldiers died.
 @ It is good to know that the war department will not tolerate such men in the service as these two medical officers appear to be, and further more Is desirous of making a stern example of them. Their treatment of

 Chileans
 Argentine, with German population of nearly 100000, does not have as much to fear from the Teutonic intrigue as Chile or Brazil. The disgraceful activities of that diplomat of "spurlos versenkt''
 fame and the revelations made by the American state department sometime ago
 have stamped out all Argentine tenden- cies to favor the central powers. but Argentina will not declare war on them. at least for the present, owing to her own delicate internal problems. She was badly hit by the advent of the European war and she iS yet far from recovering from the financial difficulties into which she was plunged at the beginning of the conflict: Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua have broken relations with Germany, as have Haiti, Santo Do- HiiHso anu CrCGudy, where the IeutoniC element Is also prevalent.
 It would be an error to belittle the irn- pcrtance of the Central American repub- lies as factors of war. It is enough to consider that the German interests there represent some 5oO,ooOoOO marks. But the internal problems in these countries are so complicated that they afford poor basis for speculation regarding the prob- ability of the Central American repub- lies making a definite stand in the worlds conflict.
