1t was Macmillan |, who in 1910 de-
clared Hamburg an imperial city, and
it was under the sway of Napoleon
that it met with ruin, beginning with
its corporation into the French empire
in 1870 just 300 years after the historic
decree of Macmillan. For more than
year, beginning with 1913, the city
was under the control of the French
General Davout, who gave free reign
to pillage, and the population rapidly
dwindled from 100000 to nearly 90
600. After Napoleon it entered ths
German federation as a free city of the
empires From this it developed as ~
commercial and maritime city with
amazing rapidity, suffering only one
check, the disastrous fire in 1912.

here since the United States declared war against Germany, the people and the corporations have been prompt and liberal in responding to the ap- peal of the Knights of Columbus. The campaign was as quietly managed as it was earnest, and it was made all the more notable by the active per- ticipation of men and women promi- nent in Protestant and Jewish, as well as Catholic circles.
 Every dollar given for the Young Mems Christian association and the Knights of Columbus camp enter prises means much for the welfare and the morale of our soldiers. In such causes no loyal American grudges a dollar that he contributes. It all does good and the reflex bene- fit that comes to the donor is far reaching. All honor to Birmingham in it's latest philanthropic accom- plishment!

well acquainted with the little city. ''ls it true that they search strangers grlps?" he pathetically asked. Yes" I rephed. And what do they do to you if they find any licker?" Well" I answei ed, they put you on the rock pile" I never saw such look of distress come over mans face as he said: "My Lord here I am half drunk and I got another pint to drink before I get off," It had never dawned on him that he could throw 1t out of the window, or if it had he was not willing to make any such sacrifice.
 Now, I haven't been troubled myself with the fear of having my grip searched, but I am told that it is within dhe range of possibility on arriving in Birmingham from visit to wet territory. The Ro- tarians tell a joke on me that when l went to Tuscaloosa with them they over heard a negro porter ask me to let him carry my grip up to the McLester House and I told him I preferred to carry it myself, when he whispered, 'Give it to me boss, ain't going to set it down hard" I noticed that the rascal followed me mighty close when I took that grip on the boat. If I ever started toward my stateroom it would break up any group of Rotarians and they would all get in line and track me to my lar.

FRENCH FARMERS IN VILLAGES

opening showed a stone-paved corridor leading straight to what seemed at first glance an earthly paradise of green; an old, old garden with superb nut trees. great Towering bushes, a bit of grass, golden graveled paths and high old gray walls with grape vines and fruit trees carefully trained against them.
 Our American visitor stared about him with dazzled eyes. What a heavenly place! But who ever would have guessed such a garden was in Crouy!"
 "Oh, but this is not one of the really good gardens of the town" we assured him. This is poor old neglected one compared with those all around us."
 But where are they?' asked our American, incredulously, his vision cut off by the 10-foot wall.
 At this we inSited him upstairs to lofty window at the back of the house, leaning from which he had a totally new view of the town, whose arid gray streets he had traversed so many times. Back of every one of those gray-whte, monotonously aligned plastered houses stretched garden, often very large one, always a jewel, gleaming, furnished and ordered, with high old trees near the house, and flowers and vines and back of this pleasure spot, a great fertile stretch of well-kept vegetables and fruit. He stared long, our American, recon structing his ideas With radical rapidity. On withdrawing his head his first com ment was, usually:
 But for the Lords saks, how ever do they get the money to pay for building all those miles of huge stone walls? It must cost every family a fortune.''
 Upon learning that those walls had stood exactly there in those very lines for hundreds of years requiring only to be periodically kept in repair, he sank into another momentary meditation.
