Wilson Dooms the HohenzolIerns

THE present government will derive little comfort
 from President Wilson's sharp reonder to its latest peace offer.
 Having that Germany is willing accept his he feels duty bound to take up the ques arsce aes but he makes 1t clear that cessation of hoties agreed it will mean the virtual of Germany since the only armsce he would justified in submitting for consideration would be which would leave the United States and the powers socated with her position to enforce arrangements that may be entered into and to make renewal of hoses the part of Germany impossible
 By this positive the President leaves the situation in the hands of the allies military advisers and those of the United States If Germany sufficiently beaten to warrant armse this tme the terms will necessarily be hard Noth ing will be done that will impair the slightest degree victories the field The allies will be compelled to safeguard their interests by stpuaions which will Germany powerles hosies unless she is willing overwhem- and speedy defeat which will shortly send the allied armies marching through Berlin The allies only ers of the military stuaton but the concessions Germany will be required to make will leave them much stronger position than that they occupy.
 The President reminds the German that the ceptance such terms be suggested Twill afford the best concrete evidence of her neqvoca acceptance of the terms and principles of from which the whole action ceeds Germany declines prove her good faith this way the whole fabric of her carefully built proposals bes about her feet This be the acid of her sincerity
 While the President has been unspang heretofore ra1gnment o the autocac of Germany his expa aon of the why such extraordinary safeguards manded IS the most denuncaton of Kasersm he will say subject which valy future peace of the world He tells Germany that she will have rid herself of her military auocrats the who brought responsible for it's atrocities and still dominant affairs He points out that the constitutional many have not yet been fully carried out and there antee that they will have permanence that the present still ln the hands of the mitar that the Kaiser eliminated and there be confidence placed the ses of such leadership can no negotiations with who cannot be trusted None but vertabe the German people who fact and not in leaders of Germany receive hearing.
 Germany given the choice of eliminating her war lords fighting to finish and the exaced then will be hard indeed If there probability oil naVng to deal With the military masters of Germany later perfecng the details of peace United States must demand, not peace negotiations but surrender"
 The President has left nothing to be said Germany must choose Ills note masterpiece of atesmanshp sound reasoning.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-24

Aides in many people. There are prob ably not half dozen persons in or out of Washington who know exactly what he is thinking. What most of his blatant critics and monitors over look is that the President knows in finitely more about what is going on in Germany and in Europe than they do. He does not get his information by hearsay, nor by reading the news paper headlines. This being the case, is not gratuitous advice hastily prof fered waste of time?
 We have placed our destiny in the hands of President Wilson, trusting to his sound Judgment and his wise dis erection. He has not failed us be- fore. He will not fail us now.

LUXE M,LUKE SAYS

man often wonders why so many good looking and good -natured women are unmarried and why so many homely and erabby women are married.
 A good life insurance solicitor can make you believe that it would be a pleasure to die if you were insured in his com pany.
 The reason why the average man Is always broke is because he would rather be known as spendthrift than be known as a tightwad
 A womans idea of economy is to buy a lot of things that she doesn't have to pay cash for.
 When a man is praying to be delivered from temptation he keeps one eye open in case Temptation might have to take her powder puff out of her stocking.
 If you ever heard the banning com pany gets when company leaves home after a visit you would keep out of the company stakes and remain at home more.
 Before he gets her he promises her that he will love her all his days And after he gets her she discovers that he forgot to promise anything about all his nights.
 Scientists now claim that drinking makes men bald. Huh. We wonder how a lot of naked domed Prohibitionists are going to explain this theory.
 Once in while a mans friends will impose on him so much that he wishes he had few more enemies. A mail carrier only has to jam about fourteen hours work into ten in order to get through each day. But you can't make a woman believe that mail car rier doesn't read all the postal carus before he delivers them. A husband may not be able to find any, thing else around the house. But he nev- CT has any trouble finding fault. Why is it that a man can't buy a pipe without sticking the stem of every pipe in the case in his mouth and sucking on it. He never stops to think that every man who came in ahead of him did the same thing. Neither do you. Neither do we.

Glorious Record
 of 167th Infantry

0NHE question is sometimes asked U "Why is the 167th infantry
 mentioned so much more frequently than other American troops ?" The answer is simple enough: The 167th has had more opportunities to distinguish itself and it has met ev- cry opportunity gloriously. The 167th is a part of the Rainbow division,
 made up of picked men from many states, and General Gouraud himself on at least two occasions has paid public tribute to this division for its valorous conduct on the field.
 The 167th infantry was the first Alabama unit in France. It spent
 months on the Alsace- Lorraine front and in intensive training. When the Germans opened their great drive on the morning of July 15, the 167th was in Champagne under General Gouraud.
 Everybody knows now that. the Ger mans advanced about mile or two on this front and were quickly hurled back. Following the successful Ger man drive across the Marne the 167th was switched to this front and helped to save Paris. Here is what General
 March, the American chief of staff, said of the Rainbow division on Au-
 gust 10:
 l "In eight days of battle the Forty
 second division has forced the pas ] sage of the Ourcq, taken prisoners from six enemy divisions, met, routed, ldecimated crack division of the Prus- sian guards, Bavarian division, and driven back the enemy's lines for IS lkilometres.
 Friends of the division thought these laurels were enough for awhile,
 but when the St. Mihiel fight sudden lly broke out in September, the Rain
 bow boys were in the thick of it and
 | in two days helped to capture back
 Ian expanse of territory which had been held by the enemy for four years.
 But the division apparently never

The war has about put us lawyers out of business so far as the average run of cases is concerned in the county seats said "Gip" Rowland, a we'll known attorney of Ashland
 "The sessions of courts are shorter and the dockets mighty light. We have, of course, got a lot of new business out of the large number of corporation which recently have been organized in Clay county. Then another thing, the coming of prohibition has greatly reduced the number of criminal cases"

Blessed Rr Crons

T think Chambers county has been greatly blessed in her crops" said J. E. Blanks, hustling farmer who lives near Lafayette. ''The cotton crop is about 50 per cent better than we had hoped for, and it is bringing a price which. while not as much as I would like, yet is suf- ficient to put a lot of money in circula- tion. The grain crops were fair, and taken as a whole we ought to be well satisfied at our condition. Our farmers good deal of sorghum, have about as much cattle as the land will stand and are well stocked on hogs"

Living at Home

"I was at an association over in east Alabama recently" said Dr. w F. Yar- borough. and there were more than 1000 people in attendance. Dinner on the ground was served and there was enough left to have fed as many again as were arranged about the table. C. E. Finney, from whose home great basket or tempting delicacies had been brought, boasted that nothing in it had been bought, but that he had raised it all. More and more our people In Alabama are learning to live at home

stops fighting for reports of the last few days say the Iowa and Alabama boys of the Forty-second division were side by side when they punctured the Kriemhilde line west of the Meuse.
 A recently captured German analy- sis of American troops refers to the Forty-second division as picked "at tack troops" General Pershing spoke to Congressman Dent most highly of the Alabama boys when the Montgom- cry man was in France and now Secre- tary Baker, just back from the battle fields, refers to the Alabamians as "matchless" and the "pets of the army whose achievements none of the troops envy"
 Alabama is losing some of her finest young men, but the 167th regiment is writing page in this states history which will live forever.

How Paris Greeted
 the Mayor of Lille

M DRAMATIC incident occurred EA the other day while thousands of Parisians waited under dripping umbrellas in the Place de la Concorde, fraught with grim memories of the French revolution, for the speeches which would open the new French war loan.
 A tall man of distinguished ap- pearance was observed making his way toward the speakers stand. Stopped by policeman, he said sim ply, q am the mayor of Lille" With true Gallic fervor the throngs burst into cheers and M. Delasalle received a tremendous ovation. "It will remain in my memory until the end of my days" he said later. "It is sufficient to erase from my mind four years of nightmare and servitude."
 Thus spoke gallant soul, one who bore himself bravely at time when his services were most needed. Vol umes could be written about the heroic conduct of the mayors of French and Belgian towns occupied by the Ger mans. In many cases they were made hostages, numbers of them were cast into prison, others were sent to Ger many. Day after day they endured insult and oppression, but if any of them showed the white feather, it has not been recorded in the dispatches. Most of them we know did all in their power, and some even died, to allevi- ate the sufferings of their towns people.
 Thanks not only to Brand Whit lock, but to other writers, Burgomas- ter Max of Brussels is sure of immor- tality

President Wilson Able to Decide the Issue

1T F President Wilson were not a man U of marvellous patience the advice he receives every 24 hours would be irksome. Fortunately for America and the world which looks to the President to insure its future safety and inde pendence, he remains calm in cri- sis. He also shows extraordinary skill in distinguishing between good and pad advice, in gauging public opinion not by the amount of noise that is made by self-appointed spokesmen, but by reading the minds of the people.
 The White House is bombarded day after day with telegrams and letters appealing for this and protesting against that. We'll meaning citizens, perhaps misled by a sense of public auty.incumbent upon them as men of affairs, have addressed themselves to she President with untiring zeal. Thou sands of newspapers throughout America combine sage counsel with editorial comment on these epoch marking events each day brings forth.

 On the question of designating gifts for
  united war work drive, it was pointed out that there was a section in the plan under which the campaign will be carried out to cover this and also the conditions were set out in the pledge cards. It was done to provide for those who from conscientious grounds might not be able to leave their gifts to be appropriated upon the percentage agreed upon as whole.
 When it was brought out on the floor that the Roman Catholics had positively stated that none of their offerings would ba designated, and that the same ap- piled to the Jews. quite number who had gone on record that they were go- ing to designate that what they gave should be used only for Protestant work arose and said that they were not going to let the Catholics and the Jews show a more Christian spirit than they, and therefore they expected to make con tributions without any string being tied to them.
