 Terms of the Allies Will Be Accepted

~ ERMANY will sign the treaty o1 NJ peace. That may be regarded as a foregone conclusion. Threats will make no impression on the allied statesmen who hold the fate of the Teutonic nations in the hollow of their hands.
 The German leaders themselves know as we'll as anybody that they have no other recourse. Lamentations do not win sympathy for a nation which has been adjudged guilty of starting the greatest war in history and has waged that war with unex- ampled ferocity, disregarding all the dictates of humanity.
 Nor is there any credence placed in the claim that the German people cannot meet the terms imposed or them by the peace conference These  matters have been carefully studied and the impossible has not been at. tempted, as shown by the determina- tion to fix the amount of indemnity levied at later date.
 Every we'll informed person in Ger many knows that the peace treaty will have to be signed. There is nc alternative, save actual bondage. | Germany should refuse to sign, th' allies are prepared to continue th' war, and Germany is not. The in vasion would be carried out accord ing to plans already matured. In stead of occupying strip of territor,

May Day Plotters
 Are Still At Large

EoURTEEN days have elapsed 0 since an abortive attempt was made to terrorize the nation by send ing bombs through the mails to promi- nent people, supposed to be antagon- istic to bolshevik doctrine. All of these bombs were identical and were mailed in New York. It is assumed that some of the best detectives in the country have been working to trace the plot to its source and appre- bend the guilty person, or persons, but not single worth while clue has been found.
 It is announced that the New York police department will pay "sub- stantial reward" for the capture of the May Day plotters. This is equiv alent to acknowledging that New York's police cannot solve the prob- lem.
 There can be little doubt that an- archists, or some of the many radical cults in America, were behind this outrage. It was certainly no hoax, for the bombs were deadly in con- struction and had it not been for a fortunate chain of circumstances, would have caused a number of deaths. Yet, it appears that no work able clue can be obtained.
 It is not exactly comfortable to think that millions of packages are mailed every day and any one of them might contain enough dynamite or other high explosive to wreck build- ing.

Alabama Man As oil Developer

Alabama friends of Col F. W. Glover, formerly of Calhoun and Talladega coun- ties will be interested to know that he is now president of the Fl Paso-Duke Oil company of Fl Paso, Texas, which has been so successful recently. Writing to a Birmingham friend about his past and present work Colonel Glover says:
 T was born in Calhoun county, Ala ban1a. and lived for number of years in Talladega, Alabama. being a member of the Talhdega Rifles from 1893 to 1896;
 was on duty with Alabama national guards during the great strike in Bir-
 minghan, Ala. which occurred, believe, in 1893. On Governor Johnson's recommen- dation was appointed lieutenant for the fist U. s. volunteer infantry, Septembe. l5, 1899, and served nearly two years with that regiment during the Philippine insur- ction. I wrote n long letter home to my people recounting my experiences in the Philippines, and this letter was published in the Birmingham Age-Herald. I have been in the regular army for little over 20 years, and am now on duty as chief of staff of the Fl Paso military district. Fl Paso, Texas

To Popula1ize Small
 Savings and Thrift.


 6H'HE treasury department desires y to see the sale of War Savings Stamps pushed and to that end is ask ing for the acSive cooperation of bankers and merchants.
 The result of the 1918 campaign was large and helpful. In time of peace, with the stimulus of the war missing, the totals of the money raised by means of small investments are not on the same large scale as last year, but the organization will be kept up as a permanent feature of govern ment financing.
 Every man, woman and child should cultivate the habit of thrift, Chil- dren should be taught to save their pennies, nickels and dimes. They will be the happier for it. As for large amounts there is scarcely wage earn CT or a man or woman of moderate means who cannot buy Saving Stamps in plenty. Thousand dollar War Sav- lings clubs should become popular in every community.
 The Victory Loan was the last of the great government projects. The War Savings Stamp opportunity, therefore, will have clear track from now on.
 There are no quotas and there will be no drives, with the people deter mined to do their best in this patriotic and economic enterprise this years result should total a billion dollars and similar amount should find it's way into the treasury from the sale of small securities year after year. The fact that patent medicines ars to be taxed will not alarm the bibulous citizen who has made arrangements tc be kept supplied with "moonshine."

 Our Folklore Music
 Gaining In Popularity l N the old world the peasant class S created no end of entertain ing folklore and songs and dances that have furnished colorful themes for the master composers. The American colonies had little musical atmos- Iphere.
 In New England puritan psalmody was in vogue early, but it was not i iirspirational. In Virginia, where the Church of England predominated, sim- lple chants were heard as a rule. But as there were no peasants, there was no folk song. In short, America was too young to claim musical folk lore indigenous to the soil. The nearest we have to it is the negro melody that is now being harmon lized and interwoven into sonatas and symphonies.
 How about the war dances and the peculiar rhythm of the American h. dian? Musicians have tried to build on them. Mcdowell had some suc- cess, and Reinhardt of Richmond, Va, on "theme" given him by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, wrote an Indian dance that Sousa pronounced exceptionally beautiful. But Indian rhythm does not lend itself readily to musical treatment. Negro rhythm does. Dvorak was greatly impressed with the possibilities of the negro folk lore and has used it freely in some of his larger works.
 John Powell of Richmond, composer and pianist, has developed negro themes to fine advantage. And Mary Gillen of Birmingham, who is coming rapidly into fame with her negro folk songs and sketches, will add rapidly to the popular appreciation of this branch of art.
 The question is sometimes asked, I"Will our northern friends care for these southern melodies and the ne- gro dialect?" Unquestionably they will. In fact they have already giv- en evidence of a decided liking for them. Thomas Nelson Pages suc- cessful experience on the lecture plat form answers the question in very conclusive way.
 Mary Gillen comes with fresh stories and moving "spirituals. They are informed with genuine humor and quaint philosophy. "The Hanging Tale" is typical of the old plantation negro's mental processes and emo- tional nature, and in Mrs. Gillen's telling is irresistible.
 The humor that is appreciated in one section of the United States is Likewise appreciated in all sections. Bret Harte's story, "The Luck of Roaring Camp" was as avidly read in the south and the east as it was in California. George Cables Creole sketches had universal appeal. Hu- man interest aspects of life are every where understood and everywhere ab- sorbing.
 Mary Gillen is sure to meet with an ovation at the musical biennial at Peterborough, N. H., next month.

Birmin gham- Southern Commencement
 Our opening guns were fired for the commencement exercises at the Bir- mingham- Southern college on Tuesday and Wednesday evening of this week" said Prof. R. L. Wiggins, who occupies the chair of English at that well known and popular institution, when the Glee club gave its concert and the annual oratorical contest took place This is the advance guard, as it were, of the bona fide commencement exercises which will be inaugurated on the even ing of Saturday, May 31, with the fresh men and sophomore Reclamation con- test. This event will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most interesting fea- lures of the commencement exercises. This will be followed by the com meneement sermon on Sunday morning. at which time the Birmingham South ern college will have as its honored guest. Bishop W. M. ,Ainsworth of Tex as. The sermon will be preached a Highlands Methodist church and those who have not heard Bishop Ainsworth Will thus have the opportunity to hear one of our greatest Methodist bishops. Those who have already heard Bishop Ainsworth, of course, will not miss the chance of hearing him again. The fac ulty of the Birmingham Southern col- lege individually and collectively feel that this years programme at the col lege will be the most memorable in tho history of the institution, and it is our desire to have everyb ody in the Greater Birmingham district enjoy the splendid orators whom We have invited to be with us on the occasion of these exer- cises."
