porters invited to attend were neither those engaged in city hall reportorla work. nor those who write of politlcai trends and developments.
 The other feature which aroused the suspicion of those familiar with condi- tions was the fnctI that those present, with a few notable exceptions, were among the few who have never displayed sympathy or even sympathetic interest with anything either of Alabama s sen ators have attempted.
 AMONG THOSE PRESENT
 There was l.. B.. MusgroVe of Jasper, who. according to the Associated Press, is an announced candidate against Sena- tor Underwood. There was Frank :. White. who last year opposed Senator Bankhead. There was Phil Painter who fills the columns of the Advance with matter bitterly critical of both the sem ators.
 There was Edgar Clarkson, former sec retary to Captain H6bson. There ws w. C. Davis, who, in answer to the charge that the Tenth district was being pre- pared for w E. Bankhead, said in the legislature that if that were proved true he would make the race himself
 There was P. C. Rhtliff of Birmingham an advanced prohibitionist, who has al ways taken an unvaTying factional stand. There was H. r.

The big 'airplanes that the British in Canada and the Americans in the United States are grooming with such feverlsh haste for the first aerial crossing of the Atlantic ocean are all war machines not designed for journeys of a whole day length, They bear only an outward re senobfnce to the machines that will uItl- mately travel with passengers between Isurope and America. War design IS re- sponsible for their noIse, their Vloratiol'' their cold and cramped quarters. Every thing has been sacrificed to attain cllnp- ing ability, visibility, and good gun pIa'- form.
 WHAT TYPE WILL CROSS OCEAN
 It will be a flying boat, seawortny vessel that will skim the water Aor thousand yards and then vault lnto th' blue.
 But why a flying boat? Why not ma f,-, chine that can alight on the soii" ground? Because the transatlantic ny ins machine will weigh at least F tons anu travel at a speed of about 9O mics an bour.

remains unimpared. This has been the eXpe-
rlcnce of our officers with their men. Cases by the
score have occurred where officers and men,
struck down in battle, have, in response to this
spirit, struggled to their feet and gone with
their companies in the attack only to be hit again.
cases exist IN every regiment whore men have
done this three times before being killed or rem
dered helpless and evacuated. This spirit cannot
be produced by discipline alone. The character
OF our cause had some relation to it. A spirit SO
intense cannot be developed in period measured
by months. In our case it was the growth of
Years of Jealous effort to compel recognition of
the efficiency of their regiments-effort which in
voved not only sacrifice but lack of appreciation
and even of hostility from some sources Our
men, and the new men who gained their spirit
were prepared to make any sacrifice to justify
their confidence in themselves and their units and
to this end they seemed willing to give freely of
their lives.
Not by any means the least remarkable part Of
the record Of the old New York Division is the
TACT that it furnished approximately 5000 officers
TO the United States armies in this war. con-
siderable number of these fought as officers of the
regular divisions. Everywhere these officers were
commented upon for their discipline, sense of re-
sponsibility and military bearing They were rep
resented In nearly all the corps and divisions in
the army, at the Staff College and at the schools
both as instructors and as students. Truly a re-
markable record In addition to all this the Goth
Infantry served with the Rainbow Division. the
10th Infantry, colored, served with the French
Army, the Sth, 9th and 18th Coast Artillery regi-
ments served as heavy artillery, and the 1st 9th
l2th, l4th list and 74th Infantry regiments
served as Pioneer regiments and Anti-air-
craft Machine Gun Battalions. This great aggre-
gate force had cost the government a relatively
small sum to maintain in time of peace. Had we,
prior TO the war, system whereby our recruits
would nave come to us automatically after few

den or training and service would have been moro
