TRIBUTE TO AN OFFICE BOY

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 A newspaper editcr in London, Eng land, has written q tribute to his office boy, killed in action in France, that is a bit different from the usual English style of writing. It tells a story right from the heart of the chiefs affection for his young co-worker, as follows
 Humphreys is asleep in France. Most people do not know Humphreys He was only a boy-the merry boy of the staff. He grew up with it. He was a member of the League of the Helping Hand He made the world seem bright on it's darkest day, for Humphreys knew the joy of life. He enlisted one day on his way to the office, quietly and with out word to any human being. It was work for boy, he thought. and he did it. He was in the trenches for years He hardly ever had rest.
 And now he Is gone-one more on the long, long roll of Englands heroes; one more on the long, long road that leads to everlasting life. The life of the earth is poorer, but the memory of Humph- reys Is something rare and rich

Developing the
 Habit of Thrift

1.-THE War Savings Stamp cam A paign is not only resulting in substantial aid to the government in supplying the sinews of war, but it is instilling in the minds of the young the ideas of thrift.
 If America has not been nation Iof spendthrifts, vast sums of money have been spent foolishly every year. The War Savings Stamp has been a distinct educator. People of small means have been taught lessons of thrift that will stand them in good stead through life. Even if Uncle Sam could have succeeded we'll without selling Savings Stamps and Baby Bonds, the development of the thrift habit would have been reason enough flor starting the campaign.
 It was sought to raise two billion Idcllars by the sale of the modest little securities. That amount may not be realized during the present year; prob ably not more than half of it. But after the war huge sums of money will still be needed by the government, and that being so the Stamp campaign should be continued until the two bill 1 lion-dollar goal is reached. And it
 should be continued especially for the
 purpose of further educating the peo- lple in the economic value of saving
 nickels and dimes; of accommodating
 something for the proverbial rainy day.
 Alabama's quota, based on popula-
 ton, was fixed at forty eight million
 dollars. While the state has been
 thoroughly organized the financial re-
 suits have not been as large as might
 have been desired It is no longer at
 the bottom of the list, however. It
 has gone above South Carolina and Georgia, and perhaps one or two other states, and with the great number of War Savings societies at work Ala
 bama's relative position should rise steadily. When the next report of re-
 ceipts is made by the treasury depart
 
 ment Alabama's rank will doubtless be
 many files up from the bottom.
 What is insisted on now is that those persons who have signed pledge
 cards redeem their pledges with as
 little delay as possible. If energetic

Americas Soldiers
 Happy and Healthy

1C1 DWARD BOX, one of the Amer A ican editors who have recently been the guests of the British gov ernment, has returned to this country filled with enthusiasm for our army i'll France An interview with MT. Box appears in the Philadelphia Pub lie Ledger.
 In contrast to their sober appear ance when they first reached foreign soil, aptly described by London cockney who called them solemn blokes," MT. Box found the Americans as merry as schoolboys and ready to smile on the slightest provocation. Well fed, admirably cared for and in the best of health, with no longer any misgivings either in their own hearts or in the hearts of our allies that they will not make good in every emcrg- l, ency, and with record of substantial achievement already behind them, why shouldn't they be in good spirits
 Fanatics who sought to bring the American army in France into disra. pute have long since retired into the obscurity from which they emerged to attack the morals of our soldiers abroad, but it is worth while to give fhe conclusion reached by another competent observer, who got his in. formation at first hand. MT. Box says;

No More Prussian
 Doctrine for Turkey

7T7HE collapse of Turkey removes
 N participant in the war who was never more than lukewarm in the cause of Prussianisn, even though the Kaiser embraced the Sultan and posed in the uniform of a Turkish officer. That he at one time had Strong lean ings toward the Mohammedan faith was probably another pose, adopted for political purposes, yet the simple Turk, we ase told, regarded Wilhelm as having the stuff in him that makes a first-rate Mussulman.
 Turkeys contribution has been gen erous-to the allies. Although such a paragon of Prussian military eff ciency as Gen Liman Von Sanders and others among Germany's foremost war-lords helped to whip the disor- Iganized Turkish army into shape and made a formidable instrument out of ia mob of tatterdemalions, the history of Turkeys part in the war has been an almost uninterrupted succession of victories for the allies.
 But two great military disasters stand out in the campaign against Turkey and her eastern possessions. Gallipoli must ever be dark page in
 the allies conduct of the war and the fall of kut-el-Amara proved costly.
 More than one military reputation was blasted because of these failures. i Stripped of a large area of terri
 tory and soundly beaten, Turkey
 places her destiny ih the hands of the allies Her misdeeds have been many. l but she can at least plead in eXtenu-
 ation that she was a tool of Ger i many.

Larger Production
 After This Week

E1FHE effect of the influenza
 4 among the miners was reflected in the rate of production to a serious extent. Last weeks output of coal in the Alabama district was only 3lo,o0o tons--the lowest record since July.
 There will probably be slight inn provement this week, and as the epi- denic is disappearing altogether, an appreciable gain over recent records may be expected beginning with next week. But it may be week longer be- fore production totals as much as Aoo, ,o00 tons again. Between now and Christmas it should not be surpris- ing to see weekly records approaching the 500,000-ton mark.
 While the demand will continue ur- gent for sometime to come, the fuel administration will be satisfied if the miners do the best they can; and this they can be counted upon to do. Stirred with patriotism they were manifesting a determination to work practically full time and exert the maximum of effort when Providence intervened.
 The miners of America have had q great share in winning the war and those who responded to the govern ment's appeals to the utmost of their powers must be esteemed as heroes, the same as if they had fought in the trenches.

HEADS IN, DouGHBoys:

From the Spiker, France.
 American soldiers were greeted recent ly by number of cleverly worded boards and other conspicuous places, to keep their heads inside while riding on French trains. One of the signs reads:
 Your head may be hard, but not as hard as bridges and tunnel arches. Only six inches clearance. Don't ride on tops or sides of cars. The railway company will hold you responsible for damages to bridges and tunnels and signal tow CTS. They are not insured Keep your block inside.
 says another sign
 "There are three kinds of fools. Q) Fools @ Damned fools. (3) Soldiers who ride on the tops and sides of cars. A great many American soldiers have already been killed as a result of riding on, the tops of cars There is only six inches clearance between tops and sides Of cars and tunnel arches. There is only six inches clearance between tops and sides of cars and bridge superstruc- lures.

LUKE M'LUkE SAYS

One reason why a bride of 24 doesn't ask her husband if he still loves her is because you have to muzzle goldfish to keep it from eating the furniture
 An old mooeher once told us if a man wears glasses you can always set a drink out of him by calling him judge.
 Isn't 1t funny that piano never sounds as well as it did when the man who sold it to you was playing 1t?
 one of the safest bets we know of 1t that the man in the machine who Is speeding up a hill at about 55 miles an hour is travelling that fast because he isn't going anywhere in particu- 1 lar.
 Every princess has educated corns. She can't walk a square to the grocery store for loaf of bread without get ting a flat tire. But she can dance Si
 miles that night and pull up sound and i ready for more.
 1 When friend wife is boss in that 1 household she can't understand what q l married woman wants with servant [ as long as she has a husband. 1 A man might as well keep his face
 closed The minute he tries to reason 1 withNhis wife she wants to know what
 he is mad about. And what has become of the old- fashioned American statesman who , used to go around with an olive
 branch is his beak?
 Many a husband gets a lot of conl- fort out of the reflection that he isn't half as mean as he might be.

"There is absolutely no drunkenness among our boys. It is nonexistent. First and last I saw thousands of our boys and officers and I didn't see a single boy or man drunk"
 A peep at medical charts convinced MT. Box that our soldiers are as clean morally as they are in their personal habits. Everywhere you go the cleanliness of our boys is commented on," he declares, land the frequen- cy with which they wash and bathe. Even in the front line trenches you see men busy shaving and to see whole company of fellows brushing their teeth as if their lives depended upon it is funny. The French regard our boys as the cleanest army in the world. They are crazier about bath said one French officer to me, than the Japanese, and that is saying much. Ask an American officer if you can do anything for him and he always asks you if you can show him where he can get bath"
 The pride with which America re- gards her army abroad is justifiable. Boosting may be in bad taste, yet there are times when we cannot resist the temptation.

LIGHTS ON IN PARIS

From the Kansas City Star.
 It was a simple sentence-.Paris turned on it's Eghts'-that one read in a dis patch from the French capital the other morning, but it also was deeply signif- ieant. You gloried in the news as you read the story. The lights were on in Paris after four long, dark, terrible years
 But If there was glory in the news how much more there was ill the event itself! What is more depressing than dark ness? It is noticeable fact by a man who is downtown every night, year In and year out, that the crowds are much smaller on lightless nights. Also they are less noisy. Even the street cars seem to clang their bells to a softer tune and move over the crossings almost quietly. That is in Kansas City, where the lights are turned out only two nights a week. Consider what it must have been lightless for more than four years It was something even the little children could understand. More wonderful than the full moon that hung so picturesque y over the Pont Alexander III, the his toric Place de la Concorde and the Tuil- cries Gardens, were the lights that come on. To Paris they meant that peace had begun to dawn and the menace of the Huns was about to be lifted forever.
 So Paris sang and danced in the streets, Paris went to it's theatres and concert halls and gardens and laughed and was the gay city againValmost the old Paris of peace times.
 The lights were on in Paris. A few will shine around the world
