If Women Are Angels
Why May They Moi FIy2

LONDON, Aug 26.--Lots Of women
have been told they are angels, but
Engllshwomen want 20 make a step in
that direction by becoming experts at
flying
The flying temperament Is a combins-
ton Of qualities" as likely TO belong
20 the female sex as 10 the male, and
many women are asking Can we or
can we not prove useful for air work ~
They are told by mere man that good
eyeslght and good nerves are essential.
Most women have both And combined
with these qualifications women have
also the intense desire to do something
and they are now set upon proving how
much they could do Naturally they
don't expect to serve over the firing
line; but there Is a variety OF ways in
which a woman with flying tempers-
ment could make herself useful.
Alrplanes could be used for locating
and removing wounded from the field,

Increasing Alabama's
 Coal Production

MISUNDERSTANDING the preva- 4N lence of influenza in certain mining towns, Alabama's coal produc- tion showed substantial increase for the week ending on Saturday, Noyem- Der 23. The tonnage mined was 358, ,679, a gain of 29,503 over the previous week.
 The fuel administration is no longer urging a maximum of effort on the part of mine workers for war pur- poses, yet for commercial reasons there is imperative need of every ton that can be produced in this district. A shortage of output here will mili- tate seriously against Alabama and indirectly against the miners.
 It is hoped that the weekly record will soon get back to 100000 tons or more, as it was in September. When the influenza epidemic disappears al- together it should be easy to produce 450,000 tons week.

 These birds, even when they were high ly regarded by collectors, were admitted to be of very inferior breed and not to be compared with those of the black variety though even the latter are now San dlsfavor all over the civilized world
 All American owners of red eagles II they have any sense of the fitness of things, ought to turn over the poultry to the custodian of enemy alien property in order that the latter may make a final and proper disposal of the undesirable creatures.

Supreme Court and
 General Holidays

II AWYERS who had to forego an ~ observance of Thanksgiving at home because they had cases to look after in the supreme court of Ala bania are suggesting change of the rules which would cause the court to recognize general holidays, such as the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
 The rules set Thursdays as motion days, and-the fourth Thursday of No venlber, which is always Thanksgiv- ing, as the motion day for the divi- sion which includes Birmingham. X It is not only hardship on the lawyers who have to spend day at court when they would naturally be inclined to celebrate the occasion ac- cording to the s1rit of the proclama- tions issued by the President of the United States and the governor of the state But another and stronger req son why the supreme court might be expected to be closed on Thanksgiving and all other holidays of nation wide recognition is that of patriotic ex- ample.
 If the Alabama Bar association at its next meeting were to take up the matter and adopt resolution request ing the supreme court to amend it's rules along the line indicated there would doubtless be ready and cheer ful compliance.

Why Europe Wants
 to Annex" Wilson

1L( G. WELLS, the great English 4 4o novelist, who has made pro- found study of the world war, it's causes and effects and it's reactions on the nations which participated in it, more especially England, presents some interesting views in the New Re- public of what league of nations will
 mean to foreign offices and diploma lists.
 In word, if President Wilson suc- ceeds in forming league of nations there must follow an abdication, or se- Tries of abdieations, of power which will make Williams departure from Germany appear tame in comparison. Secret diplomacy is part and parcel of all European events. It is ingrained and has developed through the centu- ries. As MT. Wells points out, to ;n- sure the permanence of the league it wilrbe necessary to centralize author ity in some sort of council, "in which foreign offices and diplomacy" are al- lowed to be pooled * And so far as can see, we are going to leave it to the foreign offices and the diplomatists to Arrange for their own extinction. That is asking lot from mortal man. We aresasking these cre- ations of the great power theory, these instruments of the great power theory, to banish the great power the ory from existence.

Whitlock Once More
 On Duty ill Brussels

|TD RAND WHITLoCK, American
 " minister to Belgium, has reoc-
 cupied the legation in Brussels. With
 President Wilson and Mir. Hoover, MT.
 Whitlock is probably more greatly be- loved and admired by the Belgian peo- pie than any other citizen of this coun- try.
 During those dark days when Bel gium was overrun by the field-gray hordes of the Kaiser, when the na- tional song could not be sung or played openly and the Belgian flag could not be displayed and when, worse still, the rights of free peo- pie were not only being trampled un- derfoot in countless ways by brutal Prussian officers, but civilians were being thrown into prison, sent to Ger many as slaves and executed for trivial offenses, Brand Whitlock labored night and day to alleviate their dis tress. He and the Spanish ambassa- dor stood practically alone between the Belgians and their masters until America declared war on Germany and MT. Whitlock quilted Brussels. His services to the Belgian nation should never be forgotten and his futile ef- forts to save Edith Cavell from exc cution will be remembered gratefully by enlightened people throughout the world.
 MT. Whitlock in his capacity as American minister did great deal to tighten the burdens of the Bel gian people and inspire them with hope for the future, when the future was most in doubt, but he did more. He wrote some of the most graphic descriptions of Germany's invasion of Belgium that have appeared in print. He showed the Hun in his true .olors and gave authoritative evidence against the Prussian military machine which was guilty of unspeakable atrocities. MT. Whitlock, perhaps more than any other individual, pill loried the German government before the world by revelations of what he saw in Belgium.
