SOLDIER MAIL MUST
 BE POSTED BY DEC. IS

The following notice has been is- sued by Postmaster R. B. Smyer:
 Owing to congestion of mail and overworked forces in postoffices at most of the military camps and can tonments. it is especially necessary that the public know that, in order to get letters and packages to soldiers in camps and cantonments by Christmas, they should be mailed as early as De- cember IS. Persons delaying their mailings to such points until after the 18th take considerable chance in not having mail delivered by Christmas day"

Great Competition Expected
 To-day Tn Annual Road Race of Birmingham Athletic Club
Hecke of Soldiers, Laughinhouse of B. A. C. Jones of Alabama and Walker of Acipco Regarded as
 Fighters for Highest Individual Honors

Sixty-five entries had been received by Bill Streit. chairman of the athletic committee, for the eighth annual road race of the Birmingham Athletic club TO- day, starting promptly at o'clock at Sixth avenue and Twentieth street, north. Eight teams had qualified, in cluding four soldier outfits.

C.; Guy Wal ker of Acipco, and Walter Jones of the University of Alabama are expected tt be the runners who will battle it out for the leading honors. Jones won the race last year, and followers of the Crimson assert he is in better condition than ever.
 HECKEL A 'FAVORITE
 Heckel is the champion runner from Camp Sheridan. Recently he broke record in field meet of the soldiers and he is regarded by many as the most favorable candidate.

COLONEL DEEDS IN CHARGE


 Colonel Deeds was placed in charge of this work of preparation He vis- ited many parts of the United States so that he might hold consultation with highly competent engineers. He made written communication with Oth- CTS. He brought into association with him Arthur E. Morgan, then of Mem- phis, who is recognized as the most qualified expert on flood conditions and flood prevention in the United States. Many weeks were spent in lis tening to reports of engineers Some recommended one plan, some another. The expense involved in obtaining pro- fessioal opinions was large for the reason that Colonel Deeds held com munication with none but the most competent and highly remunerated en- gineers.
 Many other details in this work of preparation involved much labor on the part of Colonel Deeds. He was. l for instance, at Columbus for several months for the purpose of giving counsel or information to members of the legislature since state authori- zation and co-operation were needed l The plan which Colonel Deeds l adopted involved construction of sew | eral large reservoirs stretching up- I ward from Dayton toward central Ohio. But before beginning constructive I work, it was necessary for the ensi- neers to make surveys and deep bor- l ings so that they could determine l where the reservoirs should be placed. l At last, this work was paid for out of the $2,000.00 subscription made bv the citizens of Dayton recently. all ! the operations were perfected and all of them under the supervision and l direction of Colonel Deeds Now. with 1.-the approval of tine Secretary of the i Treasury, bonds to the amount of $10.- ] 000.000 have been sold, the ssupposi- tion being that the money thus ob- l tained will be sufficient for the com I struction of this comprehensive reser- | voir method of flood prevention. | At this time Colonel Deeds Is in the service of the United States goverli-
 ment, He entered that service on Au-

GOOD SECURITIES FIND READY MARKET
By HOLLAND

New York, December 14-(SpeciaI) Al New York syndicate is supposed to have bought within a few days, the issue of $1O,O00.000 in. bonds which was authorized by the state of, Ohio for flood prevention purposes These securities found a ready market, espe- cially when it became known that the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr.. Me- Adoo, had given more than perfume tory for it.was really cordial approval of this investment of new capital in an undertaking which. on the face of it, seemed to be apart from any of the necessities of the government.
 It is the supposition. however. that Secretary McAdoo.s approval of the marketing of these bonds. although tho funds received are to be applied to a purely state undertaking, may have been in part influenced by the fact that the great aviation school and works at Dayton, O.. are located in the valley which at the time of the flood of 1913. was utterly submerged. There fore. should there be another flood, the conditions being similar to those which existed at the time of the Day ton flood. this aviation camp. and works at Dayton will supposedly amc unt to as much as $10.000,000. Sec retary McAdoo fully realized that ade- quate protection against flood would be a government service of great i'm portanee.
 WHAT $10,OO0,0 900 WILL DO
 Tine s1o.000.00O secured by the sale of the so-called flood prevention bonds will be immediately available for the construction of the remarkable system which has been accepted by Col. E. M I Deeds as the one best suited to mecl any possible emergency occasioned oy a future flood in the Miami river val I ley. But there has been long work ! of preparation,w which, would have beer 1 impossible had 1t not been for the con tribution which was made by the citi 1 zens of Dayton. immediately after th' I flood "

 At the time of the flood F. M Deeds. then vice president of the industry which is Identified by the name of MT. Patterson. was enjoying a brief vaca- ton at Panama.
