PERsHING,s RETIREMENT

Having reached the deadline age of sixty-four, General Pershing will be au- tomatically retired on September IA. Some of his friends are contending that the arbitrary retirement rule of the mil itary establishment should not apply in his case, not only because there are years of useful service left in him, which are a valuable asset to the army, but because he was the outstanding military figure of the World War from the United States, and that he should re- ceive at least as much consideration as Admiral Dewey who was kept on the active list of the navy up to the time of his death.
 While circumstances made General Pershing a more important figure than Admiral Dewey as respects his military record, and while he has had perhaps more conspicuous part in the military history of his country than any man save General Washington, it is obvious that with his splendid physical and men tai vigor he will be able to render va liant service for years to come. A mat ter of adherence to the law might well be adjusted through the enactment of a special statute, if for no other reason than to tender such an honor in rec ognition of his splendid service in times of the national emergency and need.
 The larger question is to find some function for General Pershing wherein he can be of special service because of his wide knowledge of the military con- ditions and needs of the country. Gen. eral Pershing is perhaps the most val uable man in the military establishment for his experience and knowledge in an advisory capacity. He is in the prime of his powers and usefulness, and is needed by the army. It is question of practical aspect, and congress might wisely reconsider its failure to approve a proposal that he be given full active pay when on the retired list, and enable him to continue in the service of his country as long as his physical and men tai powers permit.

by investors, and is founded on a neces- sity truly reflective of the population increase. For several years during and immediately after the World War there was little building in this community, though the growth was steady and sub- stantial. Conditions soon called for ad- ditional housing facilities, and the need for these steadily. increased, until it was plain that many more houses had to be built to take care of the thousands of people coming in annually. Birmingham has grown more rapidly than most of it's residents realize. Many houses had to be built to take care of this growth, and they have been in demand as fast as they could be constructed.
 An encouraging feature of the situa- tion is the large percentage of home owners, which is steadily increasing. This is wholesome condition. The next census will be revelation to many, not only as respects population, but in in- dustrial expansion.

ADMINISTERING THE AUDITORIUM

There is a plan to remove the audito- rum from the jurisdiction of the city commission and place it under the man agement of an independent board of five members. While several proposals have been made as respects the management of the auditorium, as to whether or not dancing should be permitted within the building, and whether or not conven- ltion bureau should be run in connection with the enterprise, City Attorney Wynn has ruled that jurisdiction lies in the commissions hands, and that would seem to settle the controversy from legal standpoint.
 It is not surprising that some citizens would rather see the auditoEium under the management of the park commission, or an independent board of control, in view of the manner in which the com mission bungled in deciding on the origi- nal plans and awarding the original con- tract, and in further view of the esti- mates of cost, ct cetera. It is apparent that large percentage of the citizens of Birmingham haven't any too much con- fidence in the administrative ability of the commission, and would prefer that the auditorium be under control of a more businesslike board. Still, the people

A STABLE GROWTH

The building industry in Birmingham continues to lead that of other Southern cities, according to the record of August, which represented an investment of S1, 744,959. This does not include the very large construction in manufacturing en- terprises, which is running far into the millions during the year, but comprises commercial buildings, apartment houses and residences. It is conservatively es- timated that the total building record for 1924, exclusive of the industrial field, will amount to around twenty million dollars, and will lead that of New Or leans and Louisville.
 An interesting feature of Birming- hams active building operations for the first eight months of the year is that it has been uniformly large. There was no slump in any of the eight months. It is expected that the record for the next four months will be even larger than since January. There are plans for many commercial buildings and resi- dences under contemplation for the rest of the year, while some large construc- ton projects are in the making.
 The building industry here has been in no sense in the nature of a temporary boom. It has been seriously thought out

Another .FIoating Cabaret"

The recent find of hundreds of letters, battle plans, thumb-nail sketches, said to have been written and prepared by the great Ma poleon himself, turns out to be a hoax. A young clerk, Brunn, in Prague, who made the announcement of the find, now confesses that he did so solely to increase his prestige with his little zecho-Slovakian sweetheart. When journalists, diplomats, statesmen, an- tiquarians and philologists arrived with every train from Vienna, Munich, Paris, Lyons and even Rome, pressing him for view of the documents, he became 50 embarrassed that he fled the town. But the persistent reporters followed him to his hiding place and finally got the truth out of him. Honxes are short-lived these days. Means of inves- tigation and the tireless methods of news papermen soon explode them. And this ap- plies on both sides of the water. The float ing palatial cabaret off the Jersey coast, "Heralded' through New York as discov- cry ranking with the performance of Colum- bus, soon vanished into the region of myths when the searchlights of the other New York papers were focused on it.

The Worlds Windotu
HonOring Luares
By PIERRE VAN PASsEN

E FIGARO and other clements of the
 right in France taunt the government with delaying the burial of the ashes of Jean Jaures in the Pantheon of the immor- tals. But Herriot has set them at rest with the declaration that the government plans an. elaborate function shortly after the reopen- ing of the chamber of deputies. Of course, there are objections to entombing Jaures in the Pantheon. Juares, whom Leon Blum calls Panthelon. Juares whom Leon Blum crate as "a forerunnerc Nof Lenin." There was of great deal of controversy over the bur ial of Emil Zola in the Pantheon and there always will be over men awho were more or less active partisans. Buares, socialist leader was assassinated shortly after the out break of the war. There is little doubt that he would have been a leader in the movement for early and. just peace. He was a man of broad views, who had acquired a capacity of vitalizing history and who looked upon universal history as an ebb and flow of epoehs, wherein today, yesterday and tomorrow comprise but single living entity. He was not the internationalist type of so- cialist. Neither was he the fanatic doc trinaire like Lenin. But sought to guide the progress Qf the French workers by bringing them to a higher cultural sphere From the same graduating class at school as such fa- nous figures as Renan, Michelet, Roland and Monod, few men possessed like Jaures so solid a knowledge in all domains. The French nation honors itself by honoring Jaures. ~
