LETTERS TO EDITOR
Makes Reunion Appeal

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Dear Editor: Believing that your ex- cellent journal is the only one pub lished in this city at the present time taking any interest in the coming of the annual reunion" of the United Confederate Veterans to be held In this city May 16, IF and IS I send the fol- lowing appeal to be published in the near future:
 AN APPEAL
 Now is the opportune time for every true son of every true Confederate Vet eran, living in the city, and in Jefrer- son county, to unite with some camp of the United Sons of Veterans and also every true daughter to unite with some chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and in this call is included our grandsons and our granddaughters. I desire also to in clude in this appeal all old Confeder- ates who were true to our glorious cause from '61 to '65, and who, W, to this date, have not joined any camp of the United Confederate Veterans, to come now and join this noble band, and thus become so identified with their comrades, as to enjoy more fully that comradeship that would even ex- ist among us, and more especially when we come together in our glorious reunions from every state in our be- loved southland.
 We all have motto, under which we can all unite, which is: Social, Liter ary, Historical and Benevolent" and under this grand banner thus inscribed we can join hands and sing as of yore: :: We are band of brothers,
 Natives of the soil,
 Fighting for our property:
 We gained by honest toil."
 No one has right to join thiA band who did not enter the war right, be tween the states" and who did not come out right when the bottom fell out" Who never deserted, nor took the 'oath of allegiance" to the tyrau- nes under any circumstances.
 Right. like truth, is immortal. and never dies. What was right in '61 and '65 is right today, and will so be ever more. All to whom this appeal is given, hope will heed it, and act right away. Yours respectfully
 E. ARNOLD WRIGHT, Assistant Chapter General, United Con- federate Veterans.

 Montg omery, February 5.-(Special.) Commissioner John H. Wallace, Jr., of the state game and fish department, has received a telegram from Col. L. M. Brett, superintendent of Yellowstone National park, to the effect that two cars cotaining 50 elk left Gardiner, Mon., for Alabama on February 4.
 Commissioner Wallace began his eff forts to restore the elk to it's Alabama haunts five years ago, and finally, after overcoming many obstacles, has sue ceeded in the accomplishment of his purpose.
 When asked for a history of the movement relative to his activity look ing to placing the elk upon suitable propagation grounds in Alabama, Com missioner Wallace said:
 About five years ago, I was informed by the bureau of game preservation,

ATTENDANT REQUIRED

"The government also requires that an attendant accompany all elk shipped by freight in carload lots
 Since the act protecting the elk pro- vides that the state could not pay any of the expense incident to bringing g these animals into Alabama, it became necessary, if I expected to succeed in my purpose of stocking this state with elk, to arrange free transportation for them. I therefore went to Washington and took the matter up with the vice

department of agriculture, at Washing ton, that if the Alabama legislature would enact law. providing for the adequate protection of elk, the depart ment of the interior would accord this state an allotment of these animals from the national preserve in Yellow stone Park, Wyoming.
 Bearing this constantly in mind, prepared a bill looking to the pro- lection of elk, which was passed by the last legislature, which act pro vides: That anyone be and is hereby authorized and empowered to bring into, or permit to be brought into this state, elk and to place said animals upon suitable propagating grounds, or game preserve that is best suited to the habits of such animals, and that no person shall pursue, hound, take, wound, capture kill or destroy any elk during a period of 10 years after the approval of this act A violation of the law is punishable by a fine to be paid in cash of not less than S25 nor more than $100 for each offense.
 After the passage of the act, took up the matter of securing elk with the Secretary of the Interior at Wash ington, and on October 30 that official accorded an allotment of these animals to this state in the following lam guage:
 Autiolity IS heIepy SrdHleu to the state of Alabama, department of game and fish, to take from Yellowstone National Park, 50 elk on condition that all expenses of capture and transporta- : tion shall be paid and shall otherwise conform with the regulations of the department in the natter
 During the winter months when the snow is deep in the Rocky mountains, elk come down into Jackson's Hole, Wyoming, for protection where, for the time being, are fed by agents of the government to keep them from starv- ing. There are experts in capturing, crating and shaping elk, in close prox- unity to the office of the superinten- dent of the Yellowstone National Park, and these experts charge $5 a head for capturing the elk and in transporting them about 40 miles in sleighs to Gar diner Montana, where they are loaded

"A large contributing factor is
found in the intermittent employment
and limited wages available to the
average unskilled workman. Worse
still is the chronic condition of unem-

"A still more striking cause of the
increase in crime, in the view of
many, is to be found in the great
war. With dozen nations at each

large part to the influence of the
european war, according to the report
of the committee on discharged pris

After discussing the efforts that
we're being made to provide friendly
guardianship of discharged prisoners,
as well as those on probation or
paroe, and pointing to the need of
still further cooperation, Mr. Lyon
said:
Meanwhile, and doubtless in part
because we have not approached the
