SAI NATION ARMY
 AND FREE LODGING Staff Captain French Explains
 Their Work NO ONE IS TURNED AWAY Great Majority Of Men Who Apply For Aid Are Unwilling To Do Even
 The Smallest Tasks
 In Payment
NO ONE IS TURNED AWAY
To the Editor of The Age-HeraId;

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Recently there has been considerable interest manifested by the citizens of Bir- mingham in the subject of a municipal lodging house. This we believe had it's start in an article published in your col umns some days ago by man named Brown, who, after taking shot at the Associated Charities, wound up by saying that he was informed at the Salvation Army lodging house that we had no beds free, but charged 15 cents per night TOT them.
 We think that the public should be fully informed as to our method of deal ing with the man who says he Is in need Years of drill in the school of experience have taught us that giving a man some thing for nothing is all wrong; there are exceptions, we think, and with what wis dom God has given us we decide when there is to be an exception, and under these conditions IS men were given bed in November absolutely without charge either in work or money. To the res, we havo said: Brother. working comes before eating and sleeping. If you are willing to work the latchstring is out side our door for you till you can get permanent employment" The man who deserves help is glad to take advan- tage of the opportunity. But many a broad back have we seen fading out of sight down Alley A when the owner of 1t was told the conditions under which he could secure food and lodging.
 We have nothing to say for or against the municipal lodging house idea, but wish to go on record once for all to the effect that no man willing to work has ever been. turned away from the Salva- ton Army Industrial home In this city, That Is exactly what we are here for, and that the public expects of us and oui wagons can be seen on the streets every day operated by men who came to us needing employment and not expecting food and raiment without an effort or their part.
 If the citizens of Birmingham will senc men who appeal to them for aid to thu Industrial home they may rest assured that every such man will have his need supplied on the above conditions, but WI think it will be a surprise to the ma jority of them to find what small per centage of men so sent actually apply a the institution.
 Here let me cite an instance by way O Illustration. In a certain Alabama cit. the Salvation Army last winter main tained practically free lodging house . few weeks ago we opened an industria home there; the first chill blast of win ter came and with it the advance guar of the army of men who Tive by thei wits" and spend their winters in Florid and summers in Michigan. The first tw days after this home was opened eigh men came for food and lodging, and whe they were told that we had good bed and plenty of food but that they woul be expected to work for what they go seven of the eight hurried away.

two cords of wood before we would do anything for him.
 Our judgment is that three out of four times the man who asks aid of the pub lie Is an unmitigated fraud. For the fourth one our doors are open. and the moment the people of Birmingham quit giving money to men who appeal to them there will be a marked thinning out in the ranks of the applicants.
