BRITISHCLERGY POORLY PAID

From the Continental Edition of the
 London Mail
 m ECENT articles in the press have tN\ drawn attention to the church SS sweating system--the question of living. about which church people neem so peculiarly apathetic.
 People do not realize the present plight of the clergy. or they would never for a moment tolerate such a scandal. And until a campaign to pay the clergy an adequate salary is or ganized the abuse will continue, for the clergy will not strike. N
 The clergy does not ask for luxuries, shorter hours or restricted output. They merely plead for a living wage.
 The vicars in hundreds of parishes are dreading the coming winter with it's advancing prices. They publicly state they will be almost starving if some relief is not forthcoming. Others are really too old to do their work prop erly. But they cannot resign because there is no adequate pension to retire upon. Is 1t any wonder that, overtaken by sickness some clergy resort 10 money lenders and go bankrupt? Take one or two cases. typical of hum dreds more.

 The explosion of a depth charge,

 the Submarine wouldsb rendered help less. Sometimes the lights went out,

OMSK, CITY OF REFUGEES

several doctors, walked through thsl yards to the depot and elbowed my way into the third-class waiting room, stepping carefully over the bodies of sleeping men and women which covered the floor of the hall. In both the first second and third class rooms there was the same. condition--everywhe the same sleeping, black mass of human beings.
 who accompanied me spied three small children seated against the wall, prac- tfcally naked. \ young woman was lying beside them fast asleep, some thing the children could not do be- cause of the 'cooties' which they searched for like monkeys.
 'Nitchevo,' remarked the Russian. There are lots of them like that
 "On the walls of the depot, again in black and white, were thousands of posters put up by frantic wothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters in searcn of near relatives who had disappeared or who were lost in trains. In these notices were descriptions and appeals, similar to but more tragic than the person columns of the great metropoli- tan newspapers. If Maria 'Tatiana,' Ivan,' 'Nikoiai,' or, Alexievitch arrived in Omsk; if Mrs. A. Zemenov of Kazan,' or Katherine Rizoff of Kowno,' or any one of a thousand-named refugees arr rived in Omsk, the bulletins said, they, will find relatives or friends living in this city or that All day long the peo- pie read these signs. sEven at night, under the white lights of the arc lamps, the refugees perused them. for they were the sole means of personal communication--the only possible con- meeting links between separated fami- lies"

who has been stopping at an exclu- sive New York hotel. He is being sued by two New York firms for $S595 which they allege he owes for fine apparel, including silk knicksr- lockers at $50 each for the princess, Imonograms for underwear at S15 per dozen, a $40 wrapper and other ar ticles.
 The principal items purchased by the prince seem to have been hose, either for himself or the princess, or for beth. In the list are two dozen pairs of hose at $43 per dozen; eleven pairs at $5 pair, 2S pairs at $3.50 per pair, one dozen pairs at $24 a dozen, silk negligee shirts at $17 each and three sack suits at $115 each.
 Perhaps the true explanation of the princes continued extravaganza, in spite of so many stories of diversity among the titled folk of Europe, lies in the fact that he married an Ameri- can heiress, but since he appears to be still married to her, that does not explain his financial difficulties.

DINING AT THE WHITE HOUSE

voice of one of the cabinet minister's said his wife had a severe headache and could not be present. but his daughter would accompany him. The daughter, of course, had no status. Instinctively surmised a possibility; and going down into the state dining room found that the secretarys wife had been sl- located to a gentleman of rank inferior to the one who was her proper parti. Taking up the dummy I went at once to Secretary Blaine--who was author ity on such matter-and showed him the setting of the table as arranged by MT. Adee, and said it seemed a pal pablo error. Mr Blaine agreed, and word was sent to the cabinet member of the change in seating. Before time for the dinner the telephone called me again, and informed me that the head ache had disappeared, and the wife would be able to come. The remedy beat "Shac" out of sight.
 /on another occasion, after the march had started from the East Room word came of the sudden and seriousness ill., ness of the wife of one of the leading South American ministers. This dis arranged all the sittings below the husbands rank, and it required cool head and dextrous hand to readjust the place cards so as to avoid heart- burnings that might have resulted ia a diplomatic upheavel> One Presiden- tial cabinet was disrupted because of social disturbance over Peggy" Eaton, and it was and is quite possible g for trouble to breed if the canons of prece- dence are violated at state dinner.

1I I)LCHAK's reported strategic re- IN treat" from Omsk, long the head
 quarters of his government, and the consequent occupation of that city by the Bolsheviks, makes one wonder what will become of the hundreds of thousands or refugees who have fled to that city in the past months for safety presents a graphic picture of this re- fugee city in his just published Trail ing the Bolsheviki" (Scribner's):
 ''It is said there are 100000 refugees in Omsk. Certainly one obtains the im- precision that the figures are not ex- aggerated. for no city of'a normal pop ulation of less than 90,oo0 could be so overcrowded as Omsk without showing it. There were no rooms to be had in the hotels, boarding -houses, or private residences. The government had been compelled already by circumstances to force the inhabitants to open their homes to the refugees, and still there was not a. sufficient space of shelter for every one. Unemployed by day and idle at night, these inhabitants and trangers of Omsk present a typical Rus sian picture. The counter-revolution of the working men has not ennobied labor. It has made leisure supreme.
 Toward evening, after visiting the shops where only used articles were on sale-evening dresses, the relics of a past social life; silver services of noble men, canes, and jeweled swords; after attempting to enter the opera house where a company of Moscow players were presenting one of Tolstoy' s dramas; after going through the co-op- erative stores, I returned to my rail- road car home.

I)Q 1RMINGhAM has had great lO choruses in years gone by, but recently the interest in festival ac- tivities has waned.
 The revival that has come in the Choral union, whose first rehearsal will be held tomorrow night, un- der the leadership of Forrest Dabney Carr, should be a pronounced success. 1t is certain to be most welcome. A chorus of four or five hundred lis assured and Birmingham will take its place as one of the great festival cities of the United States.
 1 It will be year or more before Birmingham has its projected audito- rum. In the meanwhile the Choral union will give at least two festival Iworks-one in Christmas week and the other in the spring. These will be forerunners of what may be eXs; pected when the auditorium is an ac- Icomplished fact.
 In this connection it might be well to consider the building up of local concert orchestra under the conductor ship of Philip Memoli.
 We should have an orchestra capa- ible of performing symphonic music. We had such an organization in con- nection with the community sings at the Bijou when MT. Lawrence held sway. The music heard there was music of the highest class. While the orchestra was not up to such famous symphonic bands as Damrosch's, the Cincinnati or the Minneapolis, it gave creditable interpretations of Schu- bert's Unfinished" symphony, sev- eral of Haydn's symphonies, the largo of Dvorak's "New World" sym phony and Mozart's Jupiter" sym phony.
 What Birmingham needs for full musical culture is a permanent or chestra for frequent performance of the classics, and in addition a series of concerts by the great orchestras.
 The Choral union might enlarge its scope and back the orchestra idea.

Lieut-col. r. ". Halford, in Beslie's.
 1.-THE dinner given February %,
 1890. by Andrew Carnegie to the
 Pan-American Congress, called together by MT. Blaine, was an ele- gant affair, quite outdoing anything of the kind to that date. The menu embraced mutton imported direct from Scotland for the occasion and the wine card leader was Lachrymae Christi tears of Christ"-a special distilIa- tion from Italy. During the dinner the Laird of Skibo introduced a Scottish piper, who in full-kilted regaiia skirled around the hall, blowing out martial amazefnent and delight of the whole company. par ticularly of the Latin Am erican guests. It was great night.
 A Chinese pa=zlo is not more intri- cate than the maze into which one -lay be plunged who undertakes the task official dinner The niceties of dis tinction must be scrupulously observed or the Old Harry may be to pay. When 8 member of the cabinet, for instance. approaches a complaisant but bedeviled secretary in charge of an approaching dinner to be given by the President. with the suggestion that the said cabi- net man would like to be assigned to escort Mrs. A. instead of Mrs E., it is a somewhat delicate matter even if the dinner be only semi-official. And if it is the regular annual dinner to the diplomatic corps, to properly pair off the guests is work requiring finesse, experience and to be mentally pachy- dermatous. This duty had been in charge of Assistant Secretary Adee, whose knowledge of the intricacies of diplomatic precedence was supposed to approach infallibility. There was "a dummy table," and for our first diplo- matic dinner the model had been sent over to the White House, and notices sent the guests in accordance with it's assignments. About noon of the fats- full day the telephone rang, and the

Demand That Road Funds
 Be Spent Economically

M PROMINENT citizen of Bir- 6A mingham has sent to The Age Herald clipped editorial entitled, "A Dollar of Road for Dollar" adding in a. facetious vein, "Them's my senti- ments." Although he failed to state from what publication the editorial was taken, it is most timely.
 Millions of dollars are going to be spent in Alabama for good roads in the next few years, and large sums in other parts of the union. The peo- pleple of this and other states should make it their business to see that this money is used to the best advantage.
 As the editorial in question says, sThe public should necessarily de- mand dollars worth of road for dollar spent. There is going to be graft and incompetency on a tremend- ous scale if the public does not watch out. That was the case from the lowest type of highway improvement up to the most improved construction in the past. Human nature has not changed bit since millions of dollars have been made available for road improvement"
 The higher officials who will have charge of road building in Alabama and will direct the expenditure of fede- ral and state funds to be appropriated for this purpose, are men in whom the people of Alabama have confi- dence. Nevertheless, there is one factor that will be an effective check, should the tendency to waste money develop, and that is publicity. Times have changed since the advent of the automobile. In former times where one citizen knew by personal experience and observa- tion what kind of highways were in his county and state, now it is safe to say there are hundred who travel these roads in their cars and have . vital interest in the building and  maintenance of good roads.
 Since it is proposed to raise the money for state highways i ahama from automobile taxation, we may rest assured that the motorists who con- stitute such large percentage of the population, will not let waste and ex- travagance creep into our road build ing programme without protest.

To Be Great Building

 realize just what a wonderful strue- ture the new government building Is going to be-" said F. R. Norman. "l have recently been over the work thus far completed and have talked with the government architect supervising g the construction and he revealed to me many facts that I did not know about the building. Of course, every one knows that the government build ings are always constructed from the finest materials and are thoroughly modern. but there will be many fea- lures in the building where which are not embodied in others throughout the country.
 Not only is every piece of stone marble and wood inspected before ii is put into the structure. but there is a competent government man whc sees that everything Is put in just as it should be. The heating and venti!a- tion systems are of the very finest and unusual arrangements are being made for the lighting of every part Of the building. The courtrooms and otkel places where crowds will gather vii | be models of their kind of ~construc. l tion. They will be cooled by iced ail | in the summer and ventilated as wei as heated in the winter.
