But Messager had another ambition, namely, to be of real service to music Scarcely had he become musical di- rector and conductor of the Opera Comique, before he produced d'Indy' $ "FervaaI." Next he plunged into Par isian life with Louise; then he penetrated the regions of the unknown and heretofore unheard with "Pelleas and Melisande." of which he gave all admirable interpretation. The five years of his collaboration with Albert Carre (1S9S-1903) were assuredly among the most brilliant of the Opera Comique.

Aerial Circus Less Than
 Week Of; Interest Grows
Entire Squadron of Pliers Will Make Flight Here From Montgomery-All Being Graduates of Govern ment Flying Schools, and Every Kind
 of Thrill Is Promised

With the appearance of the United States army aviators in Birmingham in the only aerial circus' ever attempted in the south, less than week away, enthusiasm is beginning to pick up in this coming event and the people are looking forward with interest to next Saturday, when Uncle Sam's f1iers stage the greatest aerial exhibition ever seen in Birmingham.
 Entire squadrons of planes will make the flight here from Montgomery and Secretary J. l.. Dent of the State Fair association, under whose auspices the show is to be given, said Saturday: Why, man alive. there will be more airplanes in Birmingham and in the air at the same time than one can shake a stick att
 These airmen, who are graduates at the flying art, and who are ready to ship overseas and make war on the Hun, if the Hun has not had his fill of war by this time, will come to Birming- flying trade. It will positively be the

 It would be impossible for any amuse- ment corporation to obtain this large Ia number of fliers and planes and put
 them on exhibition and Uncle sam would never consent to so great a dem- onstration but for the fact that he was staging this show himself and for his own benefit.
 The proceeds from this aerial circus, which starts at the State Fair grounds next Saturday afternoon at 130. will De turned over to officials at Taylor field, MontgoWery, in order that a swimming pool may be built for tho soldiers stationed there.
 It's to be a great show and visitors fro mall over the state are planning to attend thIs super-aerial attraction.

4A.P.L.' 'HAS BEEN
 OF GREAT SERVICE TO UNCLE SAM Deserters, Slackers and Law Violators Apprehended
 by Local Branch SLACKING AMONG COAL MINERS INVESTIGATED Chief Bielaski Urges League to Con- tinue Operations in Assisting the
 Department of Justice in
 Its Investigations

Among the governmental agencies that have done effective work during the war and which will be continued after histilities cease is that of the American Protective league, which works under the authority of and in cooperation with the department of justice. Through it's local branches in practically every county in the United States the league has been of ines timable service to tbe country in dis covering and bringing to justice vio- lations of the espionage and other laws passed for the protection of the country in war times.
 Scores of deserters, slackers and law violaters >have been apprehended through the efforts of the Jefferson county branch of the league, among them the arrest of Rex and Sam Bull lard in Coosa county early Friday morning, as reported in the Age-Her- aid yesterday. representatives of the league have been working on this case about six weeks, following a years s search for the two brothers by the United States secret service and police officers of the state.
 Another important arrest recently effected through the instrumentality of the league was that of Guy O'Her- ron, who was charged with passing worthless checks while impersonating an army officer. O'Herron and two other military prisoners at Camp Mo- Clellan escaped from the camp prison few nights ago by means of off, cers' uniforms which they had managed to get possession of, and which enabled them to pass through the lines un- challenged

SUBSTITUTE WIVES

In many instances the allotments have been forwarded from Washington to the address given by the soldiers but for some cause they went astray Tn few cases it has been discovered q that the soldiers substituted the namcs of other women for their wives, and these women have been drawing and using the allotments as they came, while the wives, in ignorance of tne actions of their soldier husbands, wondered why the allotments did not come. These cases, with all the cir cumstances are reported to Wash ington and 1t is understood that the parties receiving and collecting tho allotments will be compelled to refund the amounts so collected
 That the activities of the American Protective league are to be continued after the war; for at least a consider able period, is shown by letter TO- ceived from Chief Bielaski yesterday by Mir. Miner The letter reads:
 BIELASKPS LETTER
 "I understand that among a few of the members of the American Protect i've league there has developed a feel ing that peace with Germany is prac- tically in sight and tlat tho need there- fore for the services of the American Protective league is no longer felt.
 Nothing could he further from the true situation. The need for tho Amer ican Protective league is as great now as it has been in the Iast and I am entirely satisfied that the need for this organization will continue for sometime to come entirely without re- gard to the progress of the peace ne- gotiations. The tremendous machines which have been organized by the gov ernment fo rthe prosecution of this war cannot be stopped abruptly and must continue to operate for many months under any circumstances
 The necessity and importance for protecting from espionage the army and property of the United States will con- tinue for sometime to coma and the need for the vigorous enforcement of sections 12 and IA of the selectiye sery- ice act and for watchfulness Tor any enemy propaganda and financial ac- tivity will probably increase
 'To achieve the greatest success. it is essential that every war activity be kept at it's highest pitch at this time until he full fruis of the efforts of our armies and those of our allies are not only in sight put actually real ized.
 'The American Protective league has had a large share in the work in this which has made possible the united support and the full success of our armies abroad and I am sure that your organization will continue to play its full part until tho depart ment is willing to say thax it has no furher need for it's greatest endeaycrs Yours very truly.

JEFFERSON BRANCH

Chief Key Milner of the Jefferson county branch stated yesterday <that he had received instructions from the head office in Washington to invesli- gate alleged cases of stacking at the coal ntnes in this district. It Is re- ported that quite a large number of miners have quit their work or lost more time than was deemed reason able and that the department of jus- ,tice had determined to turn over all proven slackers to the army officials for immediate induction into the army According to the instructions received by him MT. Miner said such miners as are shown to be slackers will lose their deferred classification and auto matically pass to class IA, whic means immediate service for them.
 The league operatives, also, have been instructed to assist in the il,- vestigation of soldiers allotments which have not reached the parties for whom they were intended. In these investigations a number of very dis tressing cases have been discovered by the operatives, in one instance the de- pendent being put out of the house by her landlord because she could not pay rent. She had not received the allotment to which she was entitled and having no other source of income she was unable to pay.

NORTH DAKOTA GROWN SEED
FOR 1919.

1t is very important that the far
mers make arrangements for the seed
for the crop of 1919 that it may be
the greatest crop ever purchased in
the State. 1t will be needed. The
Pure Seed Laboratory has been una BILE
to carry out its field crop inspection
according to the usual plans because
OF inability to procure the men nee
essary for the field crop inspection
work. However, many farmers are
familiar with the method of listing
and certifying. We also have on our
records large number of those who
have pedigraed or improved types of
seed, or seed which was raised from,
nrevious field crop inspected grain
Thus if they and others will, as soon
as they have threshed, send up fair
sample of the seed which they intend
to hold for sale as seed for sowing
purposes we will at once be in posi-
ton to give them report upon it's quail
ity and get the State Seed List built
early for distribution. This list will
be sent to all those who wish to buy.
This should aid those who have seed
for sale and those who wish to buy.
Send in your samples at the earliest
possible date. We wish to locate all
sorts of seeds OF high quality, as
wheat. oats, balrey, fax, corn, rota-
toes, alfalfa bronze grass, etc.
