makes q demand upon the strength OF
our faith, such as perhaps no other
Easter has ever made since its light has
shone. We are in the midst Of great
and searching ordeal Of all nations.
81 think that to some Of US. at least
in England, there came time about
year ago when the first thrill. of our
great decision. was over and we had
come to realize what an intensity OF
strain and effort was laid upon us. A
moment when in the desire to be rid OF
and to escape from war. we asked our
selves whether it was really true
true in fact, and not merely in phrase
that we were struggling for things
upon which so plainly our own destiny
and the future of the world must de-
pend There came to some at that crit
ical moment the question whether aft
er all 1t was worth while. just because
there came plausible voices suggesting
that il tolerab1e terms OF peace could
be procured the sacrifice which was
plainly only beginning ought to be
avoided.

TRAFFIC SQUAD HEAD|

Says Many Are Reckless IN
Rushing Across Streets
at All Points.

Trafic policemen stationed at street
intersections are doing their best to
prevent accidents to pedestrians. Pro-

Lieut.. Headley, head of the trafhc
SQUAD. He says 1t is as much their
duty to protect pedestrians. however.
as It Is to prevent collisions between
vehicles. The steadily increasing num-
her of automobiles and the large In
crease in pedestrian trahic. he states.
mean that traffic men have to be on
the alert at all times.
= In the crowded city. especially during
the lunch hour and when clerks are
leaving the departments. 1t is stated,
pedestrians rush pell NELL across the
streets at all points and angles, NOT
taking care to cross at points suggesee1
in the police regulations. Many OF
them fairly. run from the Sidewalks be-
tween intersecting streets without CIV
ing any thought to the question OF We
hicuIar traffic, and police frequently ex-
press astonishment that more 1aSalftfes
do not occur.
'.If the pedestrian would only go over
the streets at cross walks" said Lieut..

RICH'S SHOE STORE IN NEW QUARTERS
 ACROSS THE STREET

Rich's shoe store Is now in its new quarters and while everything is not vet in apple-pie order, that it will he a little later on, Dave Rich and Herman Rich and their corps of sales- men are ready to greet their friends st 1912 First avenue. k
 The stock of goods was moved late Wednesday night and Thursday morn ing from the old quarters at 1913 First avenue to the large storeroom just across the street. MT. Rich announces that no formal opening will be held. because of the war conditions, but that every attention will be given to the pleasing of customers in the new store just as has been customary in the past
 This is one of the oldest and best known shoe establishments in the city. Dave Rich has been in the business so long that he has seen Birming- ham grow from a village to a great city and there are probably few men in Birmingham who are personally acquainted with so many people as he. If it were not that it would make him out as getting along in years. which he is not, 1t might be mentioned that he is now selling shoes to the grandchildren of those grandmothecs whom he used to wait on when they were young ladies.
 The new store is equipped with ma hogany furniture has fully 200 Fer cent more floor space than was avail able in the old store, and two floors are occupied. The upstairs will be used for housing stock. The growth and development of the Rich business has been matter of the greatest in- terest and pleasure to the friends of the well-known firm

 But not so William Fox, the photo- play lubricant. Like another Moses, he crossed the Red sea from Egypt into the Promised Land and proceeded to picture the most dramatic period in the history of Jerusalem, during the last days of the Herods.
 To Miss Bara, naturally, fell the role of the beautiful and baleful "Salome, ," and they say that she fairly revels in her impersonation of the most sensa- tional siren she has yet mirrored on the screen.
 The famous Dance of the Seven Veils, with which the scriptural siren wins from King Herod the head of John the Baptist in a charger, with action and mise en scene considered, forms the pictorial as we'll as the dramatic climax of the story. It :s said to be a fearfully fascinating exhibi ition of terpsichorean grace and daring, im- pelled by a thirst for revenge on the part of "a woman scorned."

 During the German attack at Chateau Thierry George was in command of a company in the front trenches, and had immediate charge of machine gun. which he industrously emptied into the Hun forces as they swept toward our lines One big Roche singled George out in the attack and as he came rushing across no mans land George poured a continual stream of lead in his di- rection, but every shot went wild, and just as he finished his second round Of ammunition, the Hun was on him. George jumped out of the trench, for got his arms, and with a mighty swing to the jaw, knocked the invader cold Now my friend Mourning has to endure the jibes of his comrades who regard less of the fact that he captured his man. are making capital of his poor craftsmanship. ..
