your account of how MT. Coy1e, Catholic priest, was amused when he read an item in the Bulletin of the First Baptist church of Pratt City in the issue of last Sun day.
 l wish to assure MT. Coyle that it af- fords me real pleasure 70 be of service to him in this particular line of amuse- ment. have quite a good stock of the same brand of fun on hand. and by be- ing continually on the lookout, am add ing to my store daily such things as I think may help to rouse the disabilities Of MT. Coyle and others whose habit it is to evade, deny and set at naught, by
 laughter and otherwise, any statement or saying of gentlemen whose views are not in accord with those of Catholics, or those under Catholic influence
 But speaking of amusements-the kind that seems to amuse MT. Coyle-I take advantage of this opportunity to invite Mr. Coyle and all others interested in this kind of amusement, to be present at our regular service on the evening of March 5, at 7:30 sharp, when we will try to oblige him by making the evening S entertainment as near to his liking, ac- cording to his standard of amusement as the law and a good conscience will allow. The main attraction on that oc-
 casion will be an address by the pastor on "Romanism vs. Americanism." Yours truly, R. l.. DURANT, Pastor First Baptist Church, Pratt City.''

St. DaUid's Day Celebration
By D. M. LEWIS

Those who are versed in church lore remember that March is St. David s day. Davis is the patron saint of the Welsh people and for many generations the descendants of the ancient Britons have met together on this day to sing their national airs and to hear addresses pertaining to their national history. There is scarcely hamlet in the civil ized world inhabited by Welsh people whereon March 1 they do not meet. They may differ in their creed, or in their politics, but when it comes to eel ebrating the natal day of their patron saint they are one.
 The Welsh people of Alabama always meet in Birmingham and last Wednes- day they gathered from different local ities at the Y. w. C. A. building Long before the appointed time to hold their exercises the Hobbies were filled with guests and Welsh salutations and the humming of the airs of their native country were heard on every hand
 At 80 o'clock the chairman, D. M. Lewis. called the meeting to order and after the invocation, the audience sang "Aberystwyth'' to the words of fa- vorite Welsh hymn. Mrs. E. J. Bird read a very interesting paper on "Our Native Land-Waes.' Mrs. W. A. Da- vies sang 'The lovers Leap" and Mrs. Coburn read an essay showing extensive research in Welsh mythology. Miss Nellie Beddow recited the "Suffragette' and the audience sang 'Babel,' another of their popular airs. MT. William Her.

HAS ACCOMPLISHED
 LITTLE OR NOTHING
Congress Has Thus Far En- acted Only 30 Bills-Most-
 ly Minor Measures
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington. March 5-(Special.) )-Con- gress up to the present time has accom- plished nothing.
 The number of bills enacted is 30, and more than 20 of them extend permission to certain corporations to construct bridges over certain streams.
 Despite this fact. with the Washing ton situation ever changing and ever in- terestng, the newspapers of the country since early in December have been con stantly filled, and the people seriously agtated.
 Time has been consumed chiefly in ex- tended discussions of preparedness, whether or not the administration should be indorsed in this or that emergency, in extolling the President and condemning the President for political effect and whether Great Britain or Germany is more bameworthy for the alleged plight of American exportation Congress has discussed from every angle possible steps in a thousand directions, but has not as yet taken a single step. None of the preparedness legislation is present. ed as yet. No fiscal legislation has been touched save only by committees, and their treatment has been fin high places only. The military bill will be before the House Monday. It is esti- mated that the naval bill will not be presented before the middle of April.
 It is another case of the mills of the gods grinding exceedingly slow. But the taxpayers, bearing the staggering cost of government, have uttered no complaint loud enough to be heard.
 Other than bridge bills. the following have been enacted into law: bill to maintain the United States section of the international high commission meeting in South America this year; to recognize the patent office; to increase the num- Der of midshipmen at the Naval acad- emy; authorizing the coinage of cer- tain number of Mckinley gold dollsSs; to divide the state of Iowa into two judi cial districts; to sell the old postoffice site in Dayton, O.. and to amend the act creating the utility commission of the District of Columbia.

bert read a paper on "The Welsh Lan- guage," in the native tongue. MT. R. c. Kaufman sang a solo, which was fol- lowed by a recitation by Sy Beddow. Prof. Rienzi Thomas rendered a piano solo and Dr. J. H. Phillips gave an en- tertaining account of his visit to Wales some years ago. After singing the na- tional anthem of Wales 'The Land of My Fathers led by MT. J. P. Shaddick, with Miss Mary Thomas as accompanist, the audience repaired to the banquet hall.
 The walls were decorated with pie lures of the red dragon. while every guest wore the national Welsh colors and small United States flag. Seldom has more interesting gathering assem- bled anywhere than did at the Y w. c. A. that night. No people, according to their number have contributed more to the intellect and strength of the peo- pie of Alabama than the Welsh. Among those of Welsh lineage are the names of such men as Dixon IT. Lewis, William l.. Yancey, perhaps the greatest orator the south ever produced; of John T. Morgan, a descendant of the Welsh buc- cancer, Henry Morgan; of Senator James c. Pugh and of Gov. Thomas G. Jones.
 The Birmingham district will always cherish the memory of Dr. Joseph R. Smith. who was of Welsh origin, and and iron cannot be written without the names of Giles Edwards, David Roberts, Isaac Price, Richard Thomas and l.. N. John, all natives of Wales.
 The Welsh, however loyal to their tra- ditions. have always been found among the most devoted and consistent uphold CTS of the Stars and Stripes.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Birth of a Nation"

D. W. Giriffith's celebrated motion picture, The Birth of Nation," was presented at the Jefferson theatre yes terday afternoon and last night, be- ginning second engagement of one week in Birmingham. In many respects one of the most noteworthy achieve ments yet recorded in motion picture photography, HThe Birth of Nation continues tc draw crowds wherever pre- sented and it is predicted that the .busi- ness done during the present engage ment will be heavy.
 The same orchestra and staff of stage mechanics accompany the production as previously shown at the Jefferson when probably more than 10000 people saw the picture. The music contributes ma terially to the enjoyment of the film, While the efforts of the mechanical staff in initiating the noises of battle, rumble of horses hoofs and other sounds adapted to the various scenes empha- sized their realistic effect.
 As formerly, the stirring incidents por- trayed keep the audience keyed up to a high pitch of excitement. The gather ing of the Ku-Klux Kan is perhaps. the most thrilling feature of the picture, although the battle scenes are unsur- pdSSeu Acluaf WdrIdfe mas Deen VlS- ualized in a way that reveals the won- derful possibilities of the camera.
 The old south, the stirring days of the civil war remarkably vivid represen- tation of Lincoln's assassination, the south in defeat, the rule of carpet baggers in South Carolina. illustrating conditions in other southern states, the formation of the Ku-Klux Klan and it's restoration of white supremacy, with interwoven threads of humor and pa- thos, love and tragedy, make 'The Birth of q Nation a masterpiece.
