The excellent condition of both men
and mounts when the troops rode into

which they have been receiving.
AS soon as the horses were fed and
the men had mess everybody set to
work to get the tents up, and in a
short time everything was in readi-

MAIL SERVICE TO EUROPE
KEPT AT HIGH STANDARD
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Praeger Tells of Department Work
Under His Jurisdiction.

Mail service to each of the European
countries. OF. which no fewer than fl
| teen are at war, was maintained
throughout the fiscal year of 1915 with
| reasonable frequency in spite of some
disarrangements in the transatlantic
service due to the war, according to the
recently issued report of the second
| assistant postmaster general, Otto
Praeger, former postmaster of Wash
| ington The work of the Office of the
second assistant relates to the trans
post offices and with foreign coun-
tries, involving railroad. electric car,
pneumatic tubes, steamboat, motor and
horse drawn vehicle and experimental
aeroplane transportation.
In spite of this unusual condition the
office has been able, according to the
report, to devote a large amount of
time and labor to freeing itself from
antiquated and impractical methods
and policies with the view to diverting
unproductive energies to more fruit
full fields of endeavor
The bureau is striving for system
of promotions of railway mail clerks
solely according to efficiency records,
these promotions to be probationary
and to be permanent only on the estab-
lishment of the necessary executive
ability. For this purpose the office has
under consideration an improvement in
the present efficiency rating system.
Wrongs to substitute railway post
office clerks in connection with the
question of their reimbursement have
been stopped by order giving to the
substitute certain remuneration which
his work earns for him and which was
formerly given to the clerk for whom
he was substituting.
Archaic methods and circumlocution,
generally summed up under the phrase
red tape" have been eliminated, states
Mr.. Praeger.

LADIES' COMMITTEE TO COMPLETE PLANS
 FOR BUTTON SALE
Meeting to Be Held This Morning at 10 O'Clock With Executive Con- mittee, When Final Plans
 Will Be Submitted

Members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and Mrs John B. Reid. in charge of the sale of buttons, which is to be held under the direct sponsorship of the reunion executive committee, will meet this morning at 10 o'clock with the executive committee and submit plans for the sale. As generally known, the re- raise $5000, decided that it would not be inappropriate to sell official buttons to the citizens of Birmingham. The button purchase will be equivalent to dona- ton to the reunion fund to which many wished to contribute but hesitated to offer so small sum as one dollar. This timidity will be overcome by the pur- chase of a button. It will be gratefully received by the reunion committee, and will satisfy the desire of many to help entertain the veterans. The button will admit the wearer to the fairgrounds dur ing the reunion and this. in itself. will be a. most interesting spot. There will be 5000. veterans camped there. in addi- ton to the band concerts daily, the free vaudeville acts and other features.
 Mrs. Reid and her committee. with this appeal, will, it is believed find it not difficult to dispose of the buttons. The sale will be in charge of prominent Wonl- en and girls of this city. Mrs. Reid said yesterday that everything was practically ready and that most encoura sing de- gree of interest had been already man ifested in the sale. X definite date with other details, will be announced shortly.

ID GIVE LECTURE
 0N WHITE SLAVERY
Facts Will Be Illustrated at the Jefferson Theatre.
 Beginning Tomorrow

An expose of The Inside of the White Slave Traffic" will be made in Birming- ham at the Jefferson theatre beginning tomorrow by Mrs. Mary H. Sommerville, 'the woman Billy Sunday" who will de- liver an illustrated lecture on the traffic in souls. Moving pictures showing the inner workings of the white slave traf- fic" will be shown and Mrs. Sommerville will explain each changing scene.
 Show the growing generation what IS what" exclaimed Mrs. Sommervilie. The trouble has been that young girls have been turned out in the world to compete with hard-hearted and hard headed business people, who are enlisted under the fshkabibble' banner. knowing nothing of the facts of life not even busi- ness ethics nor the ethics covering the everyday conventions in the outside world. So the present chaotic condition is due to too much freedom, too little knowledge.
 II am firmly convinced through IS years of investigation that the power of early training and knowledge that should come through the home raising the standard to the extent of scientifically explaining the results of vice and it's effects, is what we need. But the necessary amount of time now is too short to reach the pres ent generation We must arouse the pub lie to sentiment of training the school children scientifically"
 Mrs Sommervile states that the ranks of classified vice are augmented by recruits from public dance halls. She also scores automobiles as one of the methods through which recruits are ob- tained, and ascribes the growing de generacy of the American home stand ard as another source.

INDICATIONS POINT
 TO THE ELECTION OF
 GENERAL HARRISON
Alabama Delegation at Confederate Reunion to Stand Solidly Behind
 Opelika Veteran

It has been definitely announced in Bir- mingham that Gen. Bennett H. Young, at present commander-in-chief of the Confederate Veterans, will not be a can didate for re-election as head of the vet erans. With this positive announcement it is stated that the contest for com mander-in-chief is narrowed down to General Harrison of Alabama and Gen erals Robertson and Van Zandt of Texas. It is believed here that General Harrison will be elected to the high honor by the veterans. He will have many powerful union. His record, personality and stand ing, the fact that an Alabama man has never received this signal honor and the further fact that the Texan delega- ton will present two candidates are all reasons for the formation of the opinion sthat General Harrison will prove a most formidable candidate.
 General Robertson and General Van Zandt are both popular with the veter- ans, but not more so than General liar rson, while the latter will have advan- tage of the good feeling prevailing to- ward Alabama by reason of the wonder ful entertainment and hospitality that will be accorded the veterans while they are in session here.
 The local delegations will naturally remain neutral during the convention, but the Alabama delegation will stand sol idly and openly behind General Harrison.

Famous Writer and HumOr- ist to Be Guest of News paper Club. at the Ap-

Tentative plans for the entertainment of Irwin s. Cobb during his visit to Birming ham have been outlined, the principal feature being a dinner to be rendered the famous humorist and newspaper man at the Birmingham Newspaper club by the newspaper men. of Birmingham. J.. Frank Jutz chairman of the entertain ment committee of the Newspaper club. stated yesterday that the matter had been discussed by members of the club and local newspaper men, and it had been tentatively decided that John R. Hor- nady, former newspaper, man, now city commissioner, should preside as toast master
 Among the distinguished men outside the profession who will be invited to meet Mr. Cobb at the dinner will be Governor Henderson Lieut.. Gov. Thomas E. .Kilby, Gen. Bennett H. Young. Gen. George F.. Harrison and several others.
 The coming of MT. Cobb has proved to be one of the most interesting fea- lures in connection with the reunion, and reupion headquarters is in receipt of the following interesting story concerning the humorlSt:
 "A stranger, asked Irwin Cobb without knowing to whom he was speaking to tell him something about Mir Cobb. To this inquiry Mr. Cobb made this reply: Well to be perfectly frank with you, Cobb is related to my wife by marriage and if you don't object to brief sketch with. all the technicalities left out, should say that in appearance he is rather bulky, standing six feet high, not especially beautiful, a light roan in color with a black main. His figure is unde- cided. but might be called bunchy in places. He belongs to several clubs, in cludng the Yonkers Pressing club and the Park Hill Democratic Marching club, and has always. like his father, who was a Confederate soldier, voted the demo- cratic ticket He has had one wife and one child and still has them. In religion he is an innocent bystander.' "

 the same auditorium. according to our plans, can in the course of an hour be
 easily turned into one to seat $500 to meet the needs for grand opera and similar gatherings. The proposition appears to me to be an ideal one" Other citizens who are more or less familiar with the plans which will be submitted at the conference Friday by the committee are equally as en- thusiastic over the situation. This is a most important question, and it seems that satisfactory solution is
 now in sight" said w. D. Nesbit yes terday. Aside from the need for an auditorium which seems to have been met in most feasible and satisfac- tory manner, there are other impoi- tant reasons for using the Roden prop erty.

 that the committee has been able to get quotation on the property which l IS most reasonable, and which is con sidered by well posted men to be d
