 ROOSEVELT'S LETTER "One of the last acts of charity of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt was a letter to the Armenian-Syrianr relief committee in which he said: With all my heart I wish you godspeed in the work of relief you have under- taken for the Christians of western Asia" And with that wish in his heart the former President of the | United States sent his check for 5000. Gan you say you are tired of giv ] ing when you have every blessing God can give you? While thousands of
 human beings are dying of want, IT
 cents a day will buy food for one of l these people. Every cent you contrib
 ute will be spent for food. The sX- 1 pense of collecting it will be paid by private donations for that purpose. How many lives will you save to- | day? Won't you send a personal con-
 tribution for food to Col T. o. Smith, | state treasurer for the American com
 mittee for relief in the near east t

 M MARGENTHAU'S DESCRIPTION 1 On his recent visit to Alabama, Hen. " Morganthau, former United States ambassador to Turkey, pointed out the | dire need of the poverty stricken and | starving Armenians and others in the | near east
 'Srhe conditions of these people is | appalling" said Mr. Morganthau. l -Four hundred thousand of the starv- ! ing hosts of Armenia. and Syria are ! children. Multitudes have already per- | ished,> while their mothers stood by, powerless to help. while their dear
 est treasures died before their eyes 1 their own children for whom they
 would have given their lives.
 1 Upon these children, helped back 70 l normal childhood, let us hope, by the generosity of the American people,
 must depend the perpetration of q
 race that early accepted Christianity
 a race that has been most cruelty per
 secuted by the barbarous Turks and has gone to Calvary for it's belief"

Exit the Dandy

Arthur Symans, in the New Republic.
 It is a deplorable fact, but the reign of the dandy is over. lie died with Barbey D'Aurevilly. who had other in terests and occupations than his cravats and laces, and was rather an amateur than a practitioner in the art. The cause, or rather large part of it. is the degen- eration of costume. A man can be we'll dressed, in the afternoon if not in the evening, when the mode leaves only an inch of choice here and there between one curve or another But variety and elegance have gone wholly out of the best-cut coat, the more carefully calcu- lated trousers. With knee brooches and silk stockings and buckled shoes went every indictment to dress personally and to outdo others in what was not fixed fashion. What form, or substance of things could a dandy, in these days. find to work upon? The. tying of white linen tie Is no longer an art; the stock, with it's dignity, has given place to the high, hideous, shining and uncomfortable starched collar. And the dullness of the things that men wear-the shapeless black funnel with it's inch of irrevelant brim which we cram discomfortably on our heads! What dandy dare make him. self conspicuous by even the extension of a brim, or the loosening of those ban dages of cloth which wrap our body with graceless rigidity?

 Campaign For Holy Land
 Sufferers Begins on Fed.
Chairman Mercer Barnett Will Lead Jefferson County Campaign and Birmingham Will Do Her Part for
 the Starving People of the Far East

The Alabama campaign for the re- lief of the starving in the Bible lands will open in earnest in 45 counties of the state, including Jefferson and Montgomery counties, Saturday, Feb ruary 1, under the auspices of the American committee for Armenian -Sy- rian relief in the near east.
 In Jefferson county J. Mercer Bar nett of Birmingham. president of the Kiwanis club and leader in various civic movements, has been placed at the head of this campaign. which will be waged with great energy, and it is confidently hoped that Alabama will oversubscribe by good margin it's comparatively small quota of $20O,0 300 of the $SO,000.000 quota of the United States. In 22 Alabama counties the campaign waged during the week just closed has been productive of good results, but far more is necessary to be done to ac- complish enough to materially aid ths millions of survivors of Turkish atroci- ties in Bible lands.

GOVERNMENT NOW
 PAYING FOR STE
 OF NITRATE PLANT
Final Settlement of Claims for Lands Acquired Year Ago Being
 Made

Sheffield, January 1s-(Special.) )-The United States government has begun the payment of it's indebtedness to large number of people in the Muscle Shoals district, from whom lands were pur- chased for the sites of Nitrate Plants Nos. 1 and 2, in West Sheffield, and at Muscle Shoals. The disbursements are being made under the supervision of A.. H. Carmichael, assistant United States Attorney General; Capt. l.. G. Nighten- gale, ordnance department. United States army, and Lieutenant Tiss, who have established offices in Sheffield, and who will probably be here several days mak- ing final settlement of nearly all of the claims against the government for lands that were acquired a year ago. Payment for some of the lands that will be over flowed by back water from the Muscle Shoals dam and some South Florence properties, will not be made at this time, but will be taken up in the near future, it is learned.
 The claims being settled at this time aggregate approximately S200,O0O. and the payments are being made to quite a large number of persons. practically every one of whom is a resident of this district. The individual claims. range from small sums up to as high as $25,ooo.
 The settlement of these claims by the government will enable the beneficiaries to subscribe in substantial manner to the upbuilding of the local communities and possibly without exception every cent of the large amount disbursed, will be reinvested or employed in various enter prises in the Muscle Shoals cities oi Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumbia. The people here are thoroughly cognizant oi the opportunities present here. and un' heskatingly the employment of capita is spreading over a wide range of com mrecal activities.

BARRAGE OF DEAD BODIES

"A barrage of dead bodies so thick and numerous as to turn the course of the Euphrates river was made by the bayoneted women and children at the hands ofthe Turks in Junk, accord inf to the report of the United States consul to that country. Hundreds or men and women were stripped naked, tied together, shot and then hurled into the river.
 Day after day, night after night the prettiest girls were carried away; sometimes they returned in a pitiable condition and told of their sufferings :. Because they would not renounce their faith in Christianity they were mur- dered outraged and driven from their homes out into the desert to dIe of starvation.
