CAPTAIN REWARDED FOR EFFORT TO ELUDE
 GERMAN SUBMARINE

London, April 9.-(9;17 D. m.)--The gov ernments intention to encourage mer- chantmen to resist or dodge submarine attacks is emphasized by an official an nouncement today that Capt. John Rich- ard Green of the steamer Vosges, which was sunk off the Cornish coast on March 27 by the shell fire of a German subma- rine, has been granted commission as lieutenant in the royal naval reserve and awarded the distinguished service cross. Other officers of the steamer have been given gold watches and each member of the crew has received $15.
 The Vosges was under fire two hours before she was sunk, her chief engineer being killed and two other officers, two members of the crew and a woman pas senger being wounded. By skillful hand ling of his ship, Captain Green prevented it being torpedoed and the submarine opened fire with b CT guns.
 The steamer was getting away from the submarine when shell hit her funnel and her speed was reduced. As the Vosges was making water the captain ordered passengers and crew into the boats. lie stated later that the submarine kept up it's fire, riddling the boats, and did not disappear until a patrol vessel appeared.

ALL CONFIDENT OF
 VICTORY MONDAY
Pratt City Crowd Enjoys Fiye-Minute Joke on Weatherly. Much to His Embarrassment = Three to
 One Majority Predicted

T have been all over this city in this campaign and I feel tonight that the in terests of Birmingham will be secure in the hands of her citizenship Monday, declared Sydney j. Bowie. campaign man ager. as he closed his address on tho bond issue at Odd Fellows hall West End, last night. 'I call on every one of you who believe as l believe in this mat ter not only 10 go to the polls and vote hut to work for the bond issue by talk ing to your friends between this and the election and preserve for the city it's greatest asset-its credit"
 This government we have now" de- cared City Commissioner James Wealth. erly in his address at the Pratt City city hall. should be and is d tool in your hands to chisel out your own destiny. And l have that faith in the people of Pratt City and all Greater Birmingham to be- lieve that that destiny Monday will be ' formed by you in favor of the bond issue by an overwhelming majority"
 The bond issue campaign closed last night with four big meetings.
 At Pratt City the Rev. W. P. McDou- gal pastor of the Pratt City Presbyterian church, presided, and speeches were made by Mr. Weatherly. Roy Perkins of Pratt City and Jack Woods. The crowd was Large. And at the expense of Commis- sioner Weatherly it enjoyed about five minutes of almost hysterical amusement when he arose to begin his address and his right trousers leg, which had risen heavenward" while he was seated, inss.- ed on sticking about halfway between his foot and knee.
 All unaware. the commissioner plunged into his weighty arguments on finance and city government. but that trousers leg stuck. Women grew hysterical try ing to contain their laughter and men grinned and snickered outright The com missioner knew something was wrong. but he didn't know what and the em- barrassment lie suffered only heightened the joke. After one or two oratorcal strides across the platform, however, the unruly garment dropped into place, but not until after it had utterly destroyed the effects of fully five minutes of the eloquent commissioner argument.
 All three speakers at Pratt City made deep impressions and it is believed that the Pratt City box will probably turn ill one of the largest maiorities for the bond issue of any in the city
 At Osceola station in an old storeroom lighted by two dim oil lamps Monte Ull- man and James Bowron addressed a good sized crowd. informing the voters of the facts in the bond issue and explaining the erroneous campaign statements of the anti-bond issue eampaigners. J. o. Chan

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Fights Bonds With AllegOry

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Were l writing against the bond issue il would take this turn. once there was a lady who we will call Mellssant, because that's not her name, who had a spend thrift of a husband. He bought every thing where it would do him the most good without regard to Melissant. who paid the bills She got divorce and mar ried man whom we will call George, be- cause that's not his name.
 George found a great accumulation of debts and proposed to pay them off by placing a mortgage on Melssant's home. She refused at first, but after showing her that these debts were for things already bought and in use she consented to the mortgage, provided George would live given.
 Within a convenient length of time, not to be too sudden with Melissant, the new husband had run up about the same amount of indebtedness as the spend- thrift, and Melissant was again appealed to for another mortgage on her home. She was told that the money from the mortgage was needed to pay for things Melissant had right in use, exactly in sim

 You must remember the baby car riages," he continued. Yes" she replied, and my sister Atlanta bought her car riages cheaper than you did,' but your sister Atlanta didn't have twins,' he continued. Yes she replied, Il would have you know my sister Atlanta had triplets'
 He reminded her that he had given her secretary S200 good, easy money each year to send him off junketing and she replied that she didn't care whether her secre- tary ever got any further north than Toadvine beat. She was promised great reductions in salaries which haven't ma terialized. George asked Melissant to think over the matter till Monday, and it can be easily predicted her answer will be against another mortgage.
 There is a pleasant fiction that munici- pal bonds are promise to pay when they are only a promise to ierund and when the refunding time comes another bond issue is needed to pay the interest on the former ones. Interest on bonds is d tax,

Anna PavlOwa

Mile. Anna Pavlowa now recognized over America as the greatest dancer the world has known, at least within the range ot modern history. came to America on her first tour four years ego, stepping directly from surround ings in which she was the recognized star of her profession to find that bal let dancing was as yet an unrecog- nized art in America, although con- tinental Europe, Russia and even an- cient Egypt had placed dancing at the head of its list of art for centuries. Now, four years later, the name of Anna Pavlowa is as well known in America and recognized as one of high artistic value as that of the greatest the American stage has known. Mile. Pavlowa and the Russia ballet, in- tact, will be seen at the Jefferson thea tre tonight. There are plenty of good seats yet to be had.

though less than on notes, able financiers to the contrary.
 We remember a self appointed commit- tee of the old government, former mayor, treasurer attorney and several aldermen, who went to New York to sell $250O00 worth of bonds. l was told it was a game sight to see that committee in their linen dusters aIM straw hats. Be fore they left the hotel the spokesman allowed it would be lest to stick their wallets down their backs, for safe keep ing, and when they got into lower Broad way under old Trfntys spires they 'al- lowed" 1t would be best to holds hands for fear some green goods man would grab one of them and carry him up into the confidence game section of Blocker street. When they got down into the bowels of Wall street the spokesman ''ups and says" T like the looks of that four story building over thar; reckon, Henry, that wouldn't be good place to sell our bonds?" Nobody wanted Birmingham bonds then and we have the authority of one of the commissioners that Birming- ham bonds would not be saleabIe under our present system of taxation. Yours truly, GEORGE H. ROGERS.

cey one of the prominent citizens of this section, presided.
 At the Elyton schoolhouse Campaign Manager Bowie addressed a good sized crowd during the early part of the even- ing. while Erie Pettus, well-known at torney, was making the opening speech at West End.
 Judge c. c. Ellis of West End presided at that meeting and in making the open ing remarks pleaded earnestly for the people of that section to vote for the bond issue, He showed how the people of West End. through their crematory, improvements, had received over Sl00.00o of the $1,250,000 asked for in the bond issue and told them this was their debt and they were in honor bound to take care of it. MT. Pettus made an eloquent plea for more harmony and co-opera- ton among the people of Greater Bir- mingham, citing examples of what this had done for other cities. He reviewed the arguments and facts regarding the bond issue and was given close attention. Mr. Bowie then closed the meeting there, where a crowd of over 100 voters had gathered, declaring that it was ''only matter of common honesty for the peo- pie of Birmingham to pay off this debt, which is due and which they are able to pay through the means of the bond is- sue"
 If is generally predicted about town now that the bond issue will carry Mon day by at least a three to one majority.
