LONDON POST JEERS At
WILSON'S ATTITUDE AS
WILD WEST DIPLOMACY"

London, Thursday, April 24.-The
peace conference crisis contindes to be
the paramount topic of comment in Lon
don's morning papers. The support they
give TO President Wilson's and Italys
views are, respectively, about evenly di.
vided, but. with two or three exceptions,
opinions are expressed cautiously and
with a manifest desire to show friend
liness for both Mr. Wilson and Italy,
and to avoid saying anything likely to
hinder the speedy restoration Of har
mony.
-Four newspapers emphatically cham
pion President Wilson's viewpoint, all
though, with one exception, with eau
tiou5 moderation Two others, with
equal moderation, sympathize with It
alys claims, but chiefly plead the ne
cessity for composing the divergent
views, lest the consequences be disas-
trous for the conference. Two others
vehemently attack the president. one
OF these, the Post, refers to Mr.. Viii

Henry Watterson once said OF the Republicans that they were
always Sticking their noses in other peoples business and skin
ming their eyes at God Almighty" We fear that we now have
some Democrats who at least make an occasional attempt to
stick their nose in other peoples business" and we are inclin-
ed to the opinion that this charge can be laid at the door OF
Post Master General Burlerson.
The Post Master Generals order increasing telephone rates

moral or legal right to NEEDLE with. The public Is already
paying enough for telephone and telegraph service. The Post

memorial for our soldiers points out, in building hospital, auditorium or some other structure that has humani- tarian or utilitarian uses in the course of time it would lose it's true signifi- canoe. It would cease to be anything more than hospital or an auditorium, while a monument stands always for one thing-a tribute to the men in whose honor it was erected.
 Whether we are to have second tower of Pisa or an Eiffel tower in Capitol park, there is no denying the fact that a memorial of this kind would attract the attention of tour ists and would keep fresh in the minds of Alabamians the sacrifices of the states heroic sons.

A VERSATILE ARMY

Ben B. Lindsey in the Cosmopolitan Mag

 An American colonel in France was the headquarters safe. It's lock had jammed, and none of his staff could open it. While they were struggling with it a negro sergeant came up to them apolo- getically.

 "Yes?" said the colonel; what do you suggest?"
 "Cul'nI," said the sergeant, q suggests Co'pI Hall"
 Corporal Hall? Why Corporal HaIl?'
 "Co'p1 Hall.' the sergeant explained, under his voice, was fo' 'foah years a bugglah."
 They sent for Corporal Hall and Cor poral Hall opened the safe.
 Well, sergeant" the colonel said, I'm glad to know about Corporal Hall I wish I'd known it sooner. It would have saved us a lot of time with that safe. And tell me, sergeant--in case we may need to call on you some day-in what direction do your particular talents lie?"
 ''Cul'nl,'' the sergeant answered, "Ah doan' want to tell no lies, Standin' as An does daily in de presence of nah Makeh, mos doubtless An doan' want to tell no lies. But if de time comes when An kin hep yah, sah, Ahll make full an free confession, a full an free con feSSion, Sah." |"

SOLDIERS MAKE GOOD

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dis
 patch.
 One major, scores of captains and lieu tenants, and between 25OO and 5000 soldiers and sailors have stepped quietly out of Rehabilitation camps in and around New York since New Years day and are today working as clerks, hotel detectives, wait CTS, porters, pantrymen and kitchen men in Manhattan hotels. All have obtained tteir positions through the labor bureau opened by the Hotel association, compris- ing ll4 hotels. after the collapse of the walters strike. When a diner sprang from nowhere New Years Eve and sug- gested to the helpless hotel men, whose walters had seized that moment for a final walkout, that they employ soldiers, he planted seed which bore fruit. The hotel men were quick to seize the op- portunity to recruit the ranks of their employees, which the war had sadly de- pleted. Today as a result every camp around New York flaunts big posters pointing in glowing terms the opportuni- ties offered by hotel employment and guiding applicants to the central labor bureau of the hotel association.

Ruthless Senate Censor
 Charged With "Creeling"

TN announcing the adjournment of U the Senate, Vice President Mar shall, with a touch of that Hoosier humor for which he is justly famous, said, Stands adjourned sine Deo."
 A man has been found in Washing ton who reads the Congressional Rec ord. He makes the astonishing state ment that the vice presidents jest was ignored in compiling the report of the final session and what might have been historic remark, if sufficiently bruited abroad, was changed to the usual "sine die"
 Crowded galleries heard Mr. Mar shall's words quite plainly. They were also published in the newspapers, but the Senate censor, evidently having in mind some vague idea of upholding senatorial dignity, twisted a timely pun into a hackneyed parliamentary phrase.
 The distinguished vice president, however, is blessed with an inexhaust- ible fund of quips which he finds it difficult to keep under cover, even on the gravest occasions. The slight put upon him by the Congressionl Record comes perilously near to lese majesty, or something equally serisSs, but that will not cast damper on statesman and wit who has a reputation to sus~ tain.

Starting on Building
 Activity Hereabouts

1N HE way to start is to start. The
 0 Birmingham Realty company is making substantial beginning in the erection of houses to cost six thousand dollars and upwards, and this an- nouncement is of far-reaching signifi- canoe.
 There has been hesitation here and in other cities in making a start un- til price levels were lowered to sone- thing like normal. Values must drop sharply, it has been contended, before the new era of prosperity, foretold by optimists, would be in sight. But this is a false view.
 Notwithstanding the fact that Bir- mingham's house shortage has been estimated in large figures, plans for going forward have been held in abeyance. But the waiting period is now giving way to a movement that is sure to develop into healthy build ing conditions.
 Every contract for construction this spring will be followed by others, and before midsummer the building trades will be in full swing.
 Build now" should be the slogan for all prospective home owners or those who are in the business of building to sell. Not only is now a good time to build, all things con- lsidered, but if there be much delay a scramble for material and workmen would soon be in evidence.
 Start now and help keep the ball rolling.

MADELON

Elizabeth Frazer in the Saturday Eve ming Post.
 Meantime over in the Place de la Con- COT de another procession had formed. It was called into being by two little bare headed midnettes One, gold haired, blue eyed, looked fragile as Parma violets. The other. short,s duslSy browed, was sturdy as a Shetland pony. They had scarcely 90 years between them. Like all the world in that great spacious square they were looking at the sights. By this time the Statue Strasburg had been re- lieved of her mourning and sat resplen- dent in flags. Suddenly the dusky browed girl spied, across the Pont de la Corcorde. the stately pillars of the Cham Der of Deputies. Instantly she faced the tlrong and flung up a hand.
 "A la Chambre. A la Chambre." she sErilled. Little Parma violets piped up, echoing her coarser mate; "A la Cham bre"
 The crowds took up the cry with roar. Those in front passed it on to those in the rear

 To the Chamber of Deputies they would go fine idea, truly. For without dcubt the vieux tigre would be over there making speech They would see him as he came forth.
 And so in the twinkling of an eye all those separate. scurrying units became consolidated into one body. thinking a single thought, bowling with a single voice: "A la Chambre Clemenceau! Le vieux tigre,'
 A dusky browed little citizeness had dcne it. Instinctively she took command; illstinctively the mob followed. Someone struck up the Marseillaise. Instantly the girl flung round on them.
 Non! Nonp' she screamed imperiously. She stamped her foot.
 "What then. ma brave petite fille?''l demanded d smocked workman jovially. What shall we sing?"
 "Madelon. The song of our poilusr' sang a new verse in honor of the vic tory 'Madelon* Madelon! Madelon! The gay little refrain crarked like a whip. Tramp, tramp, tramp, went hundreds of feet in unison, beating out the rhythm of that lively air which in it's tune had saved innumerable brave hearts from bursting with sheer despair.
