To the Editor of The Age-Heraid: Will you allow me short space in your columns to call the attention of
 the public to the pressing need of financial help which now exists in order to continue the, splendid work so auspi- ciously begun and carried on success
 fully for several years by the Jef- ferson County nti-Tuberculosis asso- citation? M
 Among the various health movem ents inaugurated in Birmingham in recent years, know of none which has ac~ complshed as much for the promotion of the health and happiness of our peo- pie as the beneficient work of this as sociation. Composed as it is of q band of unselfsh men and women, whose
 only object is the. prevention and con- trol of tuberculosis in this county, is it not the part of wisdom to encour-
 age these good people by supplying the funds which are needed to carry on this great work?
 It is a deplorable fact that tubercu- losis still continues to be the principal cause of death in this county. Fer
 the month of May our county health of- ficer reports Al deaths from tubercu- losis, out of total of 315 of all causes
 Since an organized effort has been made during the past few years for
 the control of the disease, the death rate, according to our loca! health Of ficials. has been considerably reduced. and yet, the number who succumb ev- cry year from this preventable disease is still appalling.
 Tie outlook for improvement along preventive lines is indeed encouraging. if the fight can be kept up unreritting ly. The problem of the control of the White Plague" in any community is largely a sociological one, as the dis ease affects all classes. and for this, If active support of the entire citizen nship of the county. The medical profess sion are always glad to help in this great cause and point the way, but they are not able to furnish the sinews of war. Beginning only few years ago. with very scant. financial support. the work of the Jefferson County Anti-Tuberculosis association has
 prospered by the aid of the city and county appropriations and dona- lions from philanthropic individuals The activities of the association have grown by leaps and bounds, and ir creasing demands are constantly being
 made on it's financial resourcses It is now recognized as one of the most far

 Sergeant Norman Prince and the cap- tain of the Franco-American flying corps were engaged with a greatly superior force when Corporal Chapman went to their rescue. He flew into the midst of the German flotilla which engaged him hotly from all sides
 By maneuvering quickly Chapman suc- ceeded in bringing down three of his an- tagonists. Then bullet from one of the remaining German aircraft killed him outright in the air. His aeroplane pitched to the ground within the French lines.

STILL HAVE MANY MEN

Paris, June 24.-Whether it is true or not that the Germans have been obliged to withdraw troops from the western front to send to Russia, the fact is by no means manifest, for in the familiar Verdun cockpit recent attacks have been well up to the standard of intensity.
 They found effectives to deliver a we'll nourished onslaught in the Champagne region. Expectations raised by the furi- i ous 24-hour bombardment on the right bank of the Mouse were fulfilled. From early morning until nightfall, attack after attack was launched along the short front from Thiaumont to Damloup.
 The object of the German commander is to secure control of the Vaux ravine, without which it is impossible for him to force back the French advanced line and began an attack upon the main line of forts between Souville and Tavannes. The ravine is closed boxed in by the Caillette woods to the north and the Chapitre wood to the south, and Hill 320 where the French position forms it's pla- teau to the west. German attacks here met with a certain measure of success, but at heavy cost, and their footing is by no means sure enough to prevent their being dislodged by counter attacks, which it is believed the French will not fail to make.
 East of the ravine, however, the enemy mdUo no nedQWay WndleVef. Here the French lines which command the ap- breaches to Souville are under attack They rest on three woods, Fumin, to the left Chenois to the right. and the wood running from Vaux fort to the slopes of Souville on the center. The last named wood is the objective of the Germans, for since it runs out in the salient to- ward Vaux fort, all their other attacks are subjected to a flanking fire from it. They succeeded in obtaining a footing in this wood on Wednesday night after four costly attacks, but lost large part of their gain on Thursday Further attempts made yesterday were defeated by the curtain of fire of the French artillery.
 FURIOUS FIGHT AT VERDUN
 Paris June 24.-Late details show that yesterdays fighting near Verdur equalled in fury anything yet eXpe- rienced In the total German forces en- gagged on a two-miIe front casualties are estimated between four and five divisions It was only by the last over- wehlming rush when the defenders were worn out and thinned by many hours of bombardment. that the enemy succeeded in rushing the Thiaumont work and the adjacent advanced trenches.
 The Thiaumont fertilization covers the approaches to Fleury, and the enemy hoped to continue the charge

walls on the side stI Gets one only was
IN general use by the servants of the
establishment; the other two were
presumed to be permanently sealed.
Lanyard, however, knew better.
When they had turned off from the
avenue he slackened pace and moved
at caution, examining the prospect
narrowly
On the one hand he had the wall of
the private park, topped by naked,
soughing limbs of neglected trees. On
the other, across the way, a block of
tall old buildings, withdrawn behind
jealous garden walls, showing-at that
hour at least-stupid, sleepy faces and
lightless eyes to passers-by.
Within the perspective of the street
but three shapes stirred-Lanyard and
the girl in the shadow Of the wall, and
a disconsolate, misprized cat that
promptly on their appearance vanished
like terror-stricken ghost.
Overhead the sky was breaking,
showing ebon patches and infrequent
stars through a wind-harried wrack Of
cloud. The night had grown sensibly
colder and noisy with the rushing
sweep Of new-sprung wind.

Lanyard paused definitely and spoke

the knowledge Of their errand's gray

CHAPTER XIX.
En- Route.

En- Route.
For all the success that had ostens1-
bly, rewarded his effrontery, Lanyard's
mind was far from easy during that
hour which he devoted to lodging,
ducking, and doubling across Paris and
back again before attempting to rejoin
Lucy Shannon. He hoped to confuse
and confound any jackals of the Pack
that might have picked up his trail as
adventitiously as Ekstrom had.
His delight, indeed, in discountenanc-
ing his dupe and enemy was quite
chilled by an apprehension that it
were madness, simply because the spy
had proved Unexpectedly tractable, to
consider the Ekstrom affair closed. In
the very fact Of that docility inhered
something strange and ominous, con-
temptation of which distilled a potent
premonition Of evil hardly mitigated
by Lanyard's relief on finding the girl
awaiting him, as per program, safe and
sound under the wing Of madame la
concierge, in the little court of private
stables wherein he rented space for
his car, off the Rue des Acacias.
Monsieur le concierge, it appeared,
was from home, and madame, thick
witted, warm-hearted, simple body that
she was, discovered a phase of beam
