LETTERS TO EDITOR
Imperial Jefferson

To the Editor of The Age Herald: The suggestion of Mir. Sibley in your columns that we use the adjective peer less instead of imperial in speaking of J Jefferson county sounds we'll and is in keeping with the prevalent sentiment in favor of democracy as oposad to |autocracy.
 But the word imperial does not neces- |sarily refer to royalty; 1t is used in the sense of supreme, and in this sense lit is appropriate in describing Jeffer- son county, which is supreme over the other counties in the state in every respect. The word peerless, which Is derived from peer, meaning equal, would not convey the correct idea. Again, we cannot eliminate references to royalty in religious literature-in such songs, for instance, as Bring Forth the Royal Diadem and Crown Him Lord of All" Democracy has no quarrel with constitutional mon- archy like England, where the King reigns but the people rule, but the spirit |of democracy is opposed to autocracy where ruler can plunge his country into war without the consent of the people and start a worldwide con- |flagration.> A well-known historian re- fers to the imperial democracy of Athens'-that is, a democracy that Is supreme.

 ORPHANS YESTERDAY
Judge Abernethy Convulses Members With Humorous Stories-Major Hunt
 Honorary Member

Kiwanians never had better time at a minstrel show than they had at the Xii wanis luncheon yesterday at the South ern club when Judge H. B. Abernetny of the municipal court, addressed them on "Sidelights of Municipal Court Mati- nees.''
 s Hedge Alb" was at his best, and every one enjoyed his stories of the humorous side of trouble--for as he stated it, all he knows, hears and sees in his court is trouble, day in and day out. He gave examples of detailed incidents thai transpire in his court almost daily, and in his inimitable manner convulsed the club members with his witticisms and impersonations.
 Maj. Charles J. Hunt, M. C., U. s. A., Pennsylvanian, who is at the head oi the base hospital at Camp Mcclellan made a short address, expressing his great appreciation of the wonderful hos pitality that has been shown him 1T the south. He also gave Kiwanians a good boost anent their pep" for which he received a hand
 ''Parson'' Barnwell spoke to the cause of the French war orphans. appealing to the Kiwanians to take care of their allotment of 50, as had been previously assigned to the club. His appeal was elo- quent and feeling. as was evidenced by the fact that 53 orphans were taken care of before the club adjourned.
 Major Hunt asked the privilege of talk ing an orphan in the name of the club, and this privilege was granted. He was then declared an honorary member of the club, and the Kiwanis button put on his uniform.
 The meeting was one of the most largely attended for several weeks, and the enthusiasm was marked.

With q dash, courage aud n lighting spirit worthy of the best traditions of the American army, this brigade car- ried by assault the strongly fOrti- fled Hill 2SS on the Kriemhflde SteIlung, and unceasins1y pressed it's advance until 1t had captured the Tuilerie Ferme and the Bois De Chatillen, thus placing itself at least kilometer beyond the en- emy's strong line of resistance. During this advance the enemy fought with unusual determina tfon, with a first-cIass division and in many cases resOrted to hand-tO- hand fighting when our troops ap- preached his rear. The conduct of this brigade has reflected honor upon the division, the army and the states from which the regi- ments came.
