Professional Beggars Infest
 the Streets of Birmingham.

ID ROBABLY lured by the reunion 0 of the Rainbow" division rext week, beggars are swarming in Bir- mingham. Their deformities are ex- hibited in front of stores, on street corners, near the various theatres and
 wherever people 'congregate. Some of them are arrant fakes, others~are really afflicted, but all have reduced begging to a science. Their whines land piteous pleas fall on the ears of Ipassersby with the result that many Ia coin finds it's way into their tin
 cups.
 The city maintains welfare de-
 partment where the deserving poor can get assistance, but the last thing
 professional beggar wants to do is
 to give up the easy :nonsy he
 wheedles out of the public. Taking in

Auditorium Site
 Selected at Last.

lO) IRMINGHAM is not only to<have @g a spacious auditorium, but now that site has been agreed upon, an architect will ~oon begin to draw plans and it is Reasonable to assume that the work of construction will be under way before the end of the year.
 The location, Eighth avenue and West Twentieth street, is, all in all, admirable. The ground is two hun dred feet front and four hundred to five hundred feet deep. It over looks Woodrow Wilson park, and will have an imposing setting.
 It is gratifying to know that the decision of the committee was unani- nous. No matter what site had been selected, some objections would have been heard. The Frisco tracks are in the rear of it, and railroad yards are noisy.
 But the switching at this point is less noisy than that in other parts of the city. If the Frisco were even more in evidence that it is, it would not be as objectionable as the honk, honk and the speed of joy-riders. The automobiles are by far the greatest noise-makers in Birmingham. On Eighth avenue, however, the passing autos will be less heard than on many another popular thorough flare.
 The site is convenient to street car l lines-the Norwood line passing di- rectly in front of the entrance, and the Acipco and many other lines be- ing only from one to three blocks away. Few cities indeed have audi toriums so accessible to street car travel. When the objectors, and they be few, come to consider the site pp one side and down the other, they will agree fully with the committee.
 No location could be expected to satisfy every one at glance. But this one at the northwest corner tf Eighth avenue and West Twentieth street comes as near being ideal as can be found in proximity to the park or to any other large open space. The committee is to be congratu- lated indeed upon its choice.

EMULATING xENoPHoN

From the San Francisco Chronicle. | Hellas has changed beyond recogni- ton since Xenophon led the Ten Thou sand Immortals out of the heart of hostile Persia through the mountains of Turkestan and Armenia safely to the shores of the Black sea, but the mili- tary valor that performed this Jsurpass- ing feat has not changed. Modern Greeks have given the lie to Byron's s lives in them still. Twenty thre centuries ago Xen0- phon marched with Cyrus tho Younger to attack the tyrant Artaxerxes. Aban- doned by their allies in the heart of the enemy's country, the Ten Thousand Greeks defied the whole power of Per- sia and fought their way through clouds of foes and over deserts and mountains of Trebizond. This is the supreme example in history of dis ciplined vaior and organization prevail I ing over undisciplined strength thou sand-fold greater.
 l Once more the armies of Greece are 1 in Asia For the Persian foe of xeno- phon's time they have the Turk. and they hate him as ever Athenians hated the tyrants of Peysia. History seems about to repeat itself. Greek valor. Greek discipline has already dealt in Anatolia heavy blow to Asiatic i'm efficiency. It is true that the Turk has genius for military organization that the Persians had not, and his soldiers die with Mohammed's promise of Para disc. But he has no other organizat tion. and modern warfare demands more than fatalism and a genius for conn mand. The Greek armies have shown themselves every whit as good as the Turkish ever we're and they have be- hind them an organized nation. as Mus tapha Renal has not. The Attic pha- lanx is the instrument to roll up the
 Scythian irregulars. And how the Greeks will enjoy doing it!
