 N CHAPTER os our Revolution
 N\ ary history not creditable to z S England or George III or Lord North. but particularly discreditaoie 10 George Sackville Germain (Viscouns sackville), North's Secretary Of State for the colonies, is recalled py the statement that pr. Earl A. Bates of Syracuse, an adopted chief of the Iroouois, has been deputed by $500 descendants of Joseph Brants MO hawks and their allies. now living Tn Canada, to ask from President Hard inc an asylum for them in New York state, because they do not want to become citizens of Canada, as required by a new Canadian law.
 After the treaty of peace, Great Britain rewarded Branr with a tract of fertile land six miles wide on each side of the Grand dyer Ontario. His Mohawks and other Iroquois allies set tied on that grant and Brant (Thayen danega) ruled over them often with hard hand till 1907. when he died. Their tribal rights have often been at tackled, and now seem doomed.
 It was sackville who conceived the idea of using the Iroquois or Six Ma | tion barharians against the American colonists, and of letting them fight un- der their own chieftains so as to gut | their passion for blood and loot with out English control or English re- sponsibility. Four months before the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, Brant and his Mohawks had sent their pledge of l loyalty to London. It was more than l two years later when the outrages never forgotten by Americans were perpetrated. Brant was not present when 225 whites had their scalps taken by the Senecas in the Wyoming massacre in August. TITS. But al Cherry Valley. on November II. 17fs' with 500 braves. accompanied put no' controlled by Col John Butler and zoe British soldiers. Brant was responsi- ble for staying 16 prisoners of war and 30 civilians, men, women and children Nand carrying off Il captives of both Ekexes and all ages. who were treated with awful cruelty
 Also it may be noted that Brant, for
 whom Brantford. Ontario. is named l sinned against knowledge. His sister had become the acknowledged wife oi Sir William Johnson. Johnson sent Brant to school in Lebanon, Conn.,. and
 took him along in the Niagara expedi- ton of 17ss and in the Pontiac war ol 17ss He sent the young Indian tc
 London in 1775. Brant's home was al Canajoharie and he was a Christian. a
 member of the Episcopal church. His
 barbarism seems to have been de uberately revived to carry out the ter rorization plan of Sackvlle.

Interest in Dairying

There is not the shadow of a doubt of interest in dairying in Alabama, '" said George R. Smith, Jr., financial agent of the Mountain Grove Creamery company.
 "Our publicity in The Age- Herald has literally swamped us with letters from all over Alabama asking us when we are to begin receiving butterfat. letters from the leading merchants in the towns offering to act as butterfat agents, letters seeking all manner of information with regard to the Bir- mingham plant
 We canvassed the state before we made any announcement of our inten- ton of coming here and satisfied our selves as to the sufficiency of butter fat available, but I never in my life have witnessed such extreme interest in proposition as this has occasioned, Any one who doubts is welcome to take glimpse at the piles of letters that are on file at our present headquarters in the Motion hotel"

TRIQUOIS TIRED OF CANADA

/ We can hardly say that these old prejudices well-founded prejudices against Brant and his Mohawks. should lead us to deny their descen- dants an asylum on Indian reserva- tions in this state. But there are suf- ficient reasons outside of prejudice for keeping them out. New York state has not yet fully settled the tribal-rela- tions problems regarding her own In ,dians and has no inclination to take up 'the white mans burden" in so far as that burden properly belongs to the Dominion,

Old-Fashioned Movie ssVamp' Is No Longer in Demand

Ac AvO AOAA8SA AA& A>CAAA3AA0 7f7HE announcement that . famous U movie vampire" will play moral parts in the future, may or may not be bid for publicity, but her style of ~vampine" has ceased to interest the movie public. Possibly that is the explanation of her "artis- tic regeneration"
 There are fashions in the movies, just as there are in nearly everything else. Certain great works of art-in painting, sculpture and lit erature-live forever and never lose their appeal, because they were pro- duced by genius in it's most exalted mood, but the styles in women's clothes scarcely change more radically than the public's taste in theatrical entertainment.
 The movies, after making a des- perate struggle and costing their pro- ducers millions of dollars, most of which was repaid by the fans" have, according to some authorities, made good their claim to be classed as art. The million dollar" movie of today, with its thousands of actors and whole cities built for background, is a striking contrast to the first motion pictures of the "chase" variety, which appealed to the lowest intelligence and were so imperfect mechanically that they showed little promise of fever being anything more than an ex- pertinent

Many Gardens

Tt is certainly a treat to go about over the city and see the large number of spring gardens which are just be- ginning to come up," said c. F. flaw kins yesterday.
 My business takes me around in most every part of the city, and from my observations I believe there are many more gardens this year than there were last. I am glad to see this, because if everyone that could would plant spring garden, 1t would help a great deal to do away with lot of the so-called hard times"

Judge Future by the Past
 and Not by the Present

IT UDGE E. H. GARY, chairman of O the Steel Corporation, is quoted as having once remarked to an as- < semblage of pessimistic industrial captains that the future should not be judged by the present, but by the past" The present is an open book in the making and conveys no lesson because it is not a closed ex- perience. The past is definite quan- tity and forms a basis on which to render judgment.
 Although the unified tonnage of the Steel Corporation fell off more than 100000 tons in February, the total on the last day of that month, 6,933,000 tons, is greater total than that between January and November of 1919. It compares with totals of 100000 to 6,10o,ooo in that period. The present thrilled tonnage is 2,0o0,- 900 tons in excess of that of March to July, 1919.
 The iron and steel markets ap- preached close to the zero mark in the spring of 1919, reaching a low point about this time of the year, but they rallied toward summer and by early fall blast furnaces and steel mills were pressed to maximum ca- pacity to fill orders.
 The nearer the bottom the nearer the rebound. The Woodward Iron com pany closed down blast furnaces early in 1919, just as it did this year, but they were not down long. No one can say just when the rebound will come this year, but experience has shown iron and steel captains that it follows closely on the heels of a stagnant period.
 There is precious little iron and steel on hand. When the revival ot business does come the stored product will disappear in night and there will be the same old clamor for pro- duction.

Make Good showing

Boxing fans who failed to witness the bouts in the amateur elimination contests at the Birmingham Athletic club missed some good fighting" said H. K. Oliver.
 Some of those lads showed stuff worthy of professionals. The New Or leans team was the most spectacular their footwork and nice boxing making their work stand out above all others
 Then, too, it seemed to me they were in slightly better condition than any of the other men in the tourney.
 Birmingham sport lovers owe MT. Streit, prime mover in bringing the bouts here, a large vote of thanks"

Next League Discussion
 May Be Held in Washingto

May Be Held in Washington ID REDUCTIONS are made by Wash E ington correspondents that we may soon behold foreign diplomats coming to Washington to discuss a modified League of Nations or a new association of nations.
 This is obviously the only plan left to the Harding administration if we are to maintain Americas dignity and self-respect. It would be a strange spectacle, indeed, if America sent rep resentatives abroad to tell the allied governments that the Versailles treaty and the league must be scrapped be- cause the Wilson administration had something to do with their creation. The effect on the European govern ments most concerned can easily be imagined.
 Europe wants American aid badly and is prepared to make concessions to get it. This desire is frankly ac- knowledged. It is evident that the world cannot recover from economic chaos until America joins hands with Europe in, the work of reconstruction and the task of maintaining a hard won peace. With an understanding of this kind as a basis for negotiation a suggestion from the American gov ernment that it would be wise to talk matters over in Washington, with all the cards on the table, would probably meet with a quick response.
 What would result from these con ferences remains to be seen, but the worlds affairs are in sad muddle and any plan that promises solu- tion of problems that are becoming intolerable is worth trying.
 Recognition Believed Near for the Greek Government
 7f7HE government of Constantine u is eager to be recognized by the United States-for the usual reason Greece needs the money. A dispatch from Washington says that after a few more preliminaries have been gone through with, this happy con summation will be brought about.
 The Greek government has in formed the American government that it will assume all obligations incurred by Venizelos, including foreign loans and asks for the payment of the fourth installment of credit loan of $4S, 100000 granted to the Venizelist government py ene oii'eu o'a'oa treasury. Advances amounting to sl5 100000 were made by the Wilson administration.
 As long as Constantine's govern ment has signified it's purpose to full fill it's obligations and those of the preceding government, and the for nal announcement that Constantine lis again in power having been re- ceived by the American state depart ment through the proper channels, there is no valid reason why recog- milton should be withheld.

Would Clean Up

With the spring usually comes cleanup ampaign" said J. c. Moses and I certainly do think it is time the city cleaned up, the tunnel at the ter minal station, which the Tidewater cars use.
 Honestly, it is a disgrace to a town the size of Birmingham and should pc given a thorough cleaning before the hot weather. I happen to live at East Lake and ride that car twice day. and all kinds of trash have accumulated there.
 T know the hundreds of other people that travel over this line feel the same way about that tunnel and few hours there with a street gang would cer- tainly make a change. in the appear ance of it l am sure"
