but a man of vision and common sense He saw no reason to run amuck and shed human blood as long as there was chance to win his point by argument. In fact, he was op- posed to violence.
 When the British government made Ireland fair offer, embodying practically everything she asked for, except the right to 'embroil her seR with other nations and become a menace to the security of the British empire, Griffith was quick to realize that the struggle had been won. He was chairman of the Irish delegation which negotiated the Ango-Irish treaty in London. When the hot-heads led by DeValera, renewed the fight for an Irish republic, Grif- fifth and Collins supported the Free State.
 Griffith was the type of leader Ireland needs, rather than the fanatcal DeValera whose tactics have prolonged civil war and caused the death of many Irish citizens, to no purpose whatever. Griffith proposed to keep faith with the British government and it was his desire to see his country tranquillized and enjoying the large measure of freedom granted to Ireland in the sisterhood of Brit ish dominions.

SIGNIFICANT ELECTION RESULT

"One of the significant results of the recent election is worth noting" said Robert Jemi- son, Jr. "All of the candidates for the lower and upper houses of the legislature who stressed the abolishment of the city commis- sion were defeated.
 "The action of the voters was a protest against undue criticism of the commission and the attempt to condemn our municipal form of government. This expression of the people and the failure of the propaganda and unwarranted attacks recently so much in evidence are sufficient. I believe, to con vince all thinking people that there is no such general dissatisfaction with the commission CTS and the commission form of government this futile agitation has attempted to em- phasize and the opposition to them is con fined to a comparatively few. AS the com missioners have been elected for a four years term, it is to be hoped that all petty criticism of their administrative acts will cease and that municipal governing body, and other governing Bodies, will have the public support to which they are entitled, in all their constructive efforts for this great city

EXPLAINS DEFENSE ACT

"The question arises in a good many minds when one hears the words organized reserves, as to what it means" said Lieut. Col. T. 8. Moorman.
 "The national defense act, passed by Con- gress, creates one army to be composed of the regular army, the national guard and the organized reserves to be known as the Army of the United States. This army is to be made up of six armies, each army composed of three corps, each corps of three divisions; a total of six armies, IS corps, and 54 divis- ions. Of the 54 divisions the regular army furnishes nine, the national guard IS, and the organized reserves 27. In addition to the above there are certain organizations known as corps and army troops that do not form part of the division.
 "The territory of the United States and Its possessions is divided into corps areas, divisions of each corps being assigned to certain terri tory within the corps area The Eighty-seventh division is assigned to the states of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The state of Ala bama is to furnishe some of the regiments composing this division, among them being the 345th infantry, with headquarters at Birming- ham, established in the national guard armory, old Post Office building
 "The 354th infantry has succeeded in se- curing most of its commissioned personnel but is still ready to receive more. The next step is to enlist men. These men will be non-com- missoned officers and specialists and will form training cadres for each unit within the regiment.
 "It will be seen that the organized reserves will constitute 50 per cent of the army in case of national emergency They will not be called for active duty except in case of war other national emergency to be deter mined by Congress, and for 15 days per year for training"
 Lieut.. Col. T. s. Moorman, infantry United States army, is now stationed in this city with office in the national guard armory, old Post Office building, as executive officer 345th infantry. organized reserves. His duty is to look after the organized reserves in the Br- mingham zone belonging to the Eighty-seventn division regardless of arm or branch of the service, and desires to see especially officers of the World war who have not joined the re- serves. Until November H. 1923, all ex- officers of the World war will be given ap- pontments in the organized reserves as of the grade they held during the war without mental examination.
