should go over ahead or the main body of American troops, and whether he should not be chosen rather because of his fitness to train troops for actual warfare than because of his mastery of military strategy"
 dent was that in order to meet the sit uation fully the general chosen to send over first should combine the qualities of a capable trainer of soldiersy and a genius for strategy. It was the mar shal's urgent advice to this effect which led to the decision to recall General Pershing from the Mexican border and to send him to France. Events justified the decision. General Pershing meas ured up to the standard Joffre had set. SEND MEN, WE'LL ARM THEM"
 When the President and the Score tary of War had fallen in with the de- sire of Joffree for the earliest possible dispatch of American troops to France, the objection was heard that 1t was useless to send troops until we were In a position to munition them amply. Every intuition plant in the United States had been running at full speed since 1915 turning out munitions for France, Great Britain and Russia. It was manifestly impossible that they could immediately supply with artillery ana Sn6llS the dQQlLlOndl nlll1OnS or men America was to put in the field. New factories would have to be built, and in an incredibly short space of time this was done,
 Meanwhile" said Joffre, I've can equip your soldiers from the large sup plies VIC have" He was wise enough, since we were now allies. to propose that pooling of supplies which In the end made the exercise of the united strength of the allies so much more ef- fective.
 For months our troops had ot de- pend upon the French for shells" critics of the war administration have said.
 It Is an absurd criticism at a time when the allies were depending upon us for troops and we were turning out vast quantities of munitions.
 EACH GAVE WHAT IT HAD
 All of us gave them what we had most of to give. and what we could give most promptly and usefully. That was the understanding reached in those Washing ton conferences America began giving men at oncc. and France gave shells. But America was making shells for France, and had been for two years; and she began at once making shells and every other needed intuition for herself.
 Our allies had no criticism to offer for inability to continue to provide them with all they had been taking in muni- tons, and at the same time to provide everything necessary for a new army of 100000 men.
 Joffre heard people say Ships will win the war" or Coal will win the war" or Food will win the war" He recog- nized the importance of all the necessary agencies But he was too good soldier to believe that anything could win the was except fighting men.
 And he was wise enough, too, to know what it took long time to teach some military and civilian leaders, to-wit: that

Astierad and

Bessemer May 8.-(Special.) )--Services at the First Presbyterian church attract ed a large congregation Sunday that filled the auditorium. Dr. F. O. Hellier, the pastor, preached a powerful sermon on the influence of "mothers," taken from the text. ''The pillars of the earth are the Lord s." Sam. 2:S. He portrayed the mothers of the world as the founda- tion upon which rested the pillars of the earth
 He showed the influence of the mother over her child and said: When God makes a great woman" And the scrip ture says: "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." And science says that "as woman thinketh in her heart, so is her child"
 Dr. Hellier made strong appeal against the feminine attire demanded by fashion of today and referred to the modesty of the mothers of bygone days, upon whom the great American manhood was built, and he declared that if degra- dation came to the American manhood of tomorrow, the mothers of today would be responsible.
 All great men have great mothers, he said. and they themselves realize this, for throughout the ages of history we find the great minds honorlng their fathers but lowing in reverence to their mothers.
 "The pillars of society. of civilization and of the world are the, great men rest ing upon the foundation of noble mother hood.'
 At the close of the sermon he offered a beautiful prayer for mothers urg- ing that their spirits might be charged with their responsibility as the founda- tion of the happiness and integrity of the world.

The early dispatch of American troops to France, and the selection of General Pershing to command the American ex- peditionary force, were both due in no small degree to the urging and advice of che man-Marshal Joffre. the hero of the Marne.
 Americans hold in admiration the mili- tary leaders of the allied countries. Tis name of Foch will be source of inspir- alton for many years to come. u is sym onymous with victory.
 But the name of Joffre will be loved as well as honored in America as long as there are men and women left who saw him and listened to him when he came to us in those stirring days of 1917.
 I doubt if ever in history has there been great military hero, winner of mighty battles, a commander of con- quering armies, whose personality was so charming, so winsome, so provoca- tive of confidence and affection as that of this French general
 THOUGHT YOU WERE
 PAPA JOFFRE"
 The story is told of a French private soldier who had laid friendly hand upon the arm of French officer, only to be stingingly rebuked for his undue famil- iarity.
 T beg your pardon, sir" said the pri- Yate saluting q thought you were Papa Joffre."
 The truth of that story will not be dot bted by anyone who has seen Papa Joffre." There is only one word which l can think of that is adequately appli- cable to him. I do not think I have ever used it before with reference to a man. The French marshal is beautiful beautiful in the expression of his eyes, in his complexion, in his simple and dig nifed bearing, and, most of all, in the delightful spirit of his contact and con- yersation with his fellows.
 Now and then during the war when I saw an officer rigid and stern, over impressed by his own superiority to all ordinary mortals, I wished all men in authority might have learned manners

For Good of
 the Community

MONDAY mornings are favorable for WI recapitulations. What are the con- ditions under which the week starts? How looks the future, based on the past? Has the old town been going ahead or fal- len behind?

 On May 1, the Southeastern Express company Birmingham corporation do- ing business on two great southern rail- road systems, began business.
 On May 1, the Interstate Commerce commission took away the fictitious water rate of S1.66 from the east enjoyed by Nashville and made rate of S2.10 ef- fective June 30 This wrested from Nash vile an advantage of 52 cents over Bir- mingham in reaching competitive jobbing territory and gave Birmingham, through it's river rate of S1.75, an advantage of 35 cents over Nashville.
 On May 15 the new pressed steel car plant of the Chickasaw Shipbuilding & Car company at Fairfield, turning out 15 to 25 standard steel cars per diem, goes into regular operation.
 Recent compilation of industrial data shows 686 mining, milling and manufac- turing establishments in the Birmingham district compared with 348 in 1918.

 Electric light meters in use are TOTS, an increase for the year of 2, 190
 New capital invested in Birmingham district corporate enterprises, new and going during the first four months of the year is S8,393,000, compared with S3,171 000 in the same period of 1920 and S2,461 1000 in the same period of 1919.
 Building permits issued during the first four months of this year call for cOnstruc- tion valued at S1 ,920,000, compared with $1,508,000 in the same period of 1920 and S618,000 in the same period of 1919.
 Homes built in Birmingham in the first four months of this year number 462, compared with 126 built in the same pe- riod in 1920.
 April bank clearings came $8,617,O over March, reversing the usual order, which is S3,000,000 to S6,OOO,OOO less in April than in March.
 Operations of the Mississippi Warrior barge lines in April showed net profit of $50,000, thus justifying the claim that with proper equipment profit could be earned

 First cargoes of goods for Birmingham from the Pacific coast, via the canal and port of Mobile, at 40 to 50 per cent lower than all-rail freight rates, are on the way to Mobile.
