MAKE FINAL PLANS
 FOR TAG DAY TODAY
Camp Wilcox Will Meet at Clark & Jones
 Hall

All Daughters of the confederacy and others interested are requested to meet this afternoon with Camp Wilcox, Con monthly session at the Clark & Jones hall on Third avenue The purpose of the meeting is to make the final arrangements for Tag Day tomorrow when tags will be sold, the proceeds to go to the Rich mond reunion fund
 The veterans are going to present the city of Birmingham as the next place of meeting for the general Confederate re- union at the approaching meeting at Rich mond in the early part of June, and in order to make good showing for the city Camp Wilcox is endeavoring to send strong delegation to Richmond to press the claims of Birmingham for the 1916 re- union.
 This will be among the last general reunions of the Confederate veterans, said Capt. John G. Smith. commander of Camp Wilcox, mot because the veterans want them discontinued. but from the fact that age and iniirmity is making havoc among our ranks. We are desirous of bringing the next reunion to Birming- ham, and I have no doubt but that with the claims of this city properly presented we will have the pleasure of having the veterans of the south with us. On Satur- day the ladies are to sell tags on the streets of the city, the proceeds to be de- voted to the funds for sending large delegation of veterans to Richmond. The large majority of Confederate veterans have not the means to attend and the public is asked to help make the heart of some old soldier glad by helping to send him to what fear will be the last oppor- tunity for many of our comrades This is an instance where the many can help the few. and if we succeed in landing the 1916 reunion those helping will be amply repaid. for those annual reunions attract thousan nds of veterans and visitors. Buy a tag on Saturday and help this most

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Faunsdale Mans View

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Our present excitment, resulting from the dastardly sinking and destruction of the Lusitania and her crew, With so many of our American citizens, has star tied the world.
 Among all the tragedies of the seas in darkest ages, this has no parallel piracy of the deepest dye, that would have put to blush the chief of pirates ages ago. The pirates of old ploughea and searched the high seas for spoil, and not to murder, centuries ago. Ana now we are supposed to be in the very midst of the highest civilization.
 Doubtless our honor is at stake, our pride humbled. our lives and property in jeopardy
 The very fundamental priciples. of international law and all past prece- dents have been thrust aside and com pletely disregarded.
 The situation is unmeasurable, un fathomable. Our flag has been dishon- ored by the sinking of the other ships, over which it waved with so much pride. The great American eagle has had her plumes clipped, and like the bird with the broken pinion, she may fly, but never so high again.
 Now the question is on every tongue. "What are we going to dor will amend the question and leave the previous question for future debate and consid- eration, by asking what can we do? Let us stop and consider and weigh every detail. and note the serious difficult ties. what at present will hinder us from dong anything. Notwithstanding ng the many diversities of opinion along these lines I submit the following for publication and criticism:
 First. our unpreparedness to cope with such a foe. Next, their immense distance from us. Third navy, if they have one, is in the most remote corner of the seas in ambush surrounded by the most deadly and dangerous mines. The sea that surrounds them Is filled with those little didappers of destruc- ton. the very name of which ought to be "Helrs inps.'
 Our soldiers would be at in standing before those barbarions. so diff ferent is their mode of warfare from ours.
 Discretion is doubtless the better part of valor therefore we had just as well keep our heads for the present and be as patient as we can under the circum- stances, and follow the example of our cool headed, wise President, and trust him fully to steer us over safely, Sc far he has made no mistakes. Already we have seen the glory of his wisdom of self control. "He who conquers him self is greater than he who taketh a city or nation" So mote it be. Re- spectfully submitted. c. c. BAILEY.
