The British authorities tell us that
|7o per cent of these soldiers have
been carried by them in their ships.
This is a striking Illustration of
the urgent need of American shirs
Strenuous efforts, have been made

enormous.

 A few months ago Jeremiah O'Leary Was parading the country, paving up the earth and delivering fusillade against the administration and the coun- try generally.

 As German agent OLeary was re- sourceful and quick to take advantage of any apparent delinquency. He was boastful and arrogant while his pockets bulged with German gold, but he is a changed man when he is put in irons.

GENERAL FOCH

From the New Republic.
 Major Requin of the French general staff, draws character portrait of Gen. eral Foch:
 By the strength and uprightness of his character, as well as by his great in- tellgence and his military science, Foeh is the accomplished type of a chief--a chief modest and simple, who shows himself only in the serious hours, when responsibilities crush others, and who then takes them with resolution, ar energy, and serenity which astound everyone.
 Essentially definite person. once in action,> he retains onfy positive facts upon which he will build his plans. This is the reason for his requiring great clearnoss in all reports verbal or writ ten; he never allows two ideas to he given him at the same time. If some one commits this error a gesture, well known to his staff, which seems to push aside any second thought, is invariably accompanied by the brief remark: "l don't follow you any longer,'' or That is ancient history-go on," when it refers to facts without any bearing on the de. cision to be taken.
 During the execution even more than in the preparation, he admits neither de- lay nor carelessness and his natural klndliness stops as soon as the coun.- try's interests are at stake.

VODKA AGAIN SOLD

From the Montreal Gazette
 The Republic of the Ukraine has re- vived the spirit trade for the sake of the great revenue obtainable therefrom, and will produce 100000 kegs a year. IL will be remembered that the Czar abol- ished the vodka monopoly, which brought in huge sums annually to the govern ment. Private manufacturers continuei nevertheless and there was much drink ing in both city and country, fact which was frequently referred to in the Russian press. During the revolution vodka depots were footed in St. Peters, burg and elsewhere, and there were veritahle origies of drunkenness. It would not be surprising if what the Germans refer to as residue Russia were to re- establish tho monopoly for the profit in it. The reaction has started in the lost province of the Ukraine.

Standard of musicianship is raised and maintained, broad results will natur- ally follow.
 The difficulty will be in recruiting the bands up to the limit. Good band players, or band players of any rat ling, are relatively as scarce in New York and Chicago, as in Birming- ham. High schools in many cities have large bands and if the supply of professional players is far short of the demand, a certain per cent of the boys might be induced to enlist on the ground of war emergency.
 But the augmentation of the regi- mental band will count for little unless the director be we'll educated musi- clan.
 The right sort of .bandmaster can, by long and exacting daily rehearsal, achieve something worth while, even if much of the talent" belongs to the beginner class. In time, under properly equipped leader, inferior players, if they have any ambition, will become good players.
 The most farreaching effect of the enlarged regimental band, however, will be felt after the war when the army is reduced to the regular estab lishment. Every band will then be permanent organization.
 With the great national army mus tered out of service the band of the regulars will be picked band, and will compare with the best brass and reed ensembles found in Italy or France, in either of which country the wind band ranks close to the symphony orchestra.

< * x Speeding Up Work All Along the Line

A s all industrial activity, wheth- GA CT in the mines, in the mills Ior on the farm, is for the winning of the war, every man of every occupa- ton should be expected to put in full time. Such is the rule at many of the plants, and if the patriotism of wage workers is as deep seated as the pub lie has reason to believe, it will be the rule everywhere.
 In Alabama coal production has been short, not because of shortage of labor, but because the miners had not realized the vital importance of every man doing his best.
 The appeal of the officials of the miners union and the appeal of the operators association to the men for more coal output is beginning to have the desired effect, and very marked improvement will probably be in evil dence during the remaining days of June. If every miner were to work six or even five and half days a week from now on, this years coal production would reach new high record. And never was increased out put as greatly needed.
 Alabama's coal production in 1917 went well above 20,0o0,000 tons. At the beginning of the new year it was thought that production would exceed |21 ,00O, 1000 tons, but at the part-time rate the operatives have been working, Alabama's total output in 1918 could hardly come up to that of last year. It is earnestly hoped, therefore, that in the second half of the year the miners will do their utmost to make up for lost opportunity.
 The ringing call of R. R. Mo- ton, president of the Tuskegee Insti- ute, to the men of the negro race, to work six days every week, no mat ter what be their occupation, is already meeting with response, and it will doubtless be widely needed.
 Alabama is no place for drones and this surely is no time for any able bodied citizen to turn a deaf ear to the governments appeal for more in dustrial man power.
 Six days work week should be Alabama's industrial slogan.

x Ht x Retail Deliveries and Practical Economy

1E7 OR sometime past the retail mer- ~ chants have been endeavoring to educate their customers to the one delivery-a-day system and the retail CTS of Birmingham are now cooper ating actively with the council of de- fense, to put into effect the new de- livery policy.
 The government estimates that in the United States 3,0O0,O0O men are employed in delivery service and that if the number of deliveries were re- duced to one day, the man power of the nation would be strengthened something like 50 per cent.
 Many patrons of department and clothing stores are in the habit of carrying their small packages home, rather than wait for the porter or de- livery man. Even if a one-deliyery-a- day rule should cause some inconven- fence, the public would gladly submit during the period of the war, for the all-pervading sentiment now is any thing to help win.
 What lends added interest to the delivery question is the fact that two prices will be established by the mer- chants, one to be known as the leash and carrier" price, and the other the

German Naval Critic
 Comedies U-Boat Failure

TN their attempt to delude the Ger U man people, Germanys military leaders do not always say what they think, for the excellent reason that much of the information they have about the war would not encourage the people of Germany in making fresh sacrifices.
 However, the truth will out, even in darkest Germany. Captain Persius, naval critic of the Berliner Tageblatt, whose opinions have been freely quoted in the allied press because of their remarkable frankness, acknowl- edges that the U-boats are being over- come by the vigorous campaign waged against them. The allied govern ments have made this claim, and have proved it, but it has not been official ly acknowledged in Germany.
 While conceding that the losses of U-boats are unavoidable, because of the continually increasing sharp ness and effectiveness of the defense measures of the enemy" Captain Persius says:
 It is scarcely to be depied that
 our enemies are both carrying on
 the war and living. and that it will
 be possible for them to defend
 themselves against tonnage needs
 for a long time at any rate. From
 the beginning of the U-boat war,
 1t was mistake, often committed
 amongst us, to underestimate the
 resources of our enemies.
 The principal objects of unrestricted submarine warfare have not been ac- complished. England has neither been "starved into submission" nor "beaten to her knees" The transport of British troops to France has continued in an uninterrupted stream and neither France nor Great Britain has yet felt the bangs of hunger. Subject to req sonable regulation, the food supplies of both countries are fully adequate. More important still, the flow of American troops to France, over three thousand miles of water, has been successfully maintained until we now have an army of approximately one miAion men in France, with other thousands arriving at a rapid rate, a rate not even lessened by the presence of enemy submarines in American waters.
 Therefore, it would appear that Captain Persius has reached conclu- sions regarding the Kaiser's U-boats which accord with facts.
