 PLEASED BY TALK

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 On Monday of this week Mrs. G. H. Mathis spoke to good crowd of repre- sentative citizens of Collnsville and vii cinity. Her lecture was patriotic and in- structive and withal well seasoned with good, common sense. She made us un- derstand more fully the gravity of the situation into which our country is plunged and the great importance of every man. woman and child faithfully doing his or her part, She impressed her audience with the fact that money and food are absolutely necessary if we win the war As a result, some liberty bonds have been bought; others will be bought before Friday. We also have a well organized committee and a thor ough canvass will be made of DeKalb county and every family in the county will be urged to be prepared to feed it. self. Our chairman, Mir J. c. Longshore, will furnish at cost seed of those things which may still be planted.
 The ladies of the committee will get to- gether all available information in re- gard to canning and otherwise conserv- ing food for winter use and will give out this information through the county papers.
 Mrs Mathis is doing a great work for her country.

Glenn, assist ant rerintendent of Birmingham schools, Ito the effect that we would probably not fully realize the gravity and horror Of the present war until we began to receive the lists of our loved ones wnc had been killed or injured
 This hase of the war has already been brought home to some of those among us. Today Mile. Jean La..l.c. a teacher of French, beloved and admired in many Birmingham homes, received news that her brother had been killed somewhere in France on May 5.
 This Frenchwoman, in the same heroic spirit her brother had exhibited, said calmly upon receipt of the news: T wish now to invest my savings in the liberty loan.
 Her spirit and her example should prove an inspiration to anyone who has not done what he can for the liberty bond issue.'

RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
 TO OPEN HERE MONDAY
Ry .IEEE BAILEY

The most stupendous and appealing call in the history of the world to aid suffering humanity confronts the Red Cross. Millions of men who have been fighting for liberty lie dead and wound ed; millions of women and children are homeless and helpless; hundreds of towns and villages have been destroyed; disease and distress are rampant in the war stricken countries of Europe.
 Ur to now our own people have not suffered. While Europe has been pouring out her life blood, America has been en- toying reign of unlimited prosperity, such as she has never known before. But now we ourselves see that this gi- gantic struggle against autocracy and tyranny which our allies have been mak- ing is and has from the very first been in reality no less our struggle than theirs. We ourselves must now share the suffering which they have endured 1; we, too, must do our part in a real way.
 Birmingham proposes to do her part by raising sl50,000 for the Red Cross war fund, and the campaign in this move ment will begin next Monday and con- tinue throughout the week. ending on June 25. The banquet at the Hfllman bctel next Monday night will open the pig campaign, when the call to arms will be issued to every man and woman in Birmingham to aid in the great work that is being done by the Red Cross, and which can be done by no other agency.
 The workers are particularly eager to raise the full amount desired of Birmingham as the campaign for Montgomery is to raise $100,000 ana 1t is felt that Birmingham should cas- fly raise s150000.
 The appeal will be made to every father, sister, brother. mother. relative or friend of those who will go to the front, to contribute to this cause, not as a donation, but as a sacred duty and a privilege, to take care of those who are going to be wounded, maimed or become i'll, while fighting to protect us at home. In this way everyone can do his part to win the war with Germany, and at the same time take care of those who will

B|G SUBSCRIPTION IS MADE DIRECTLY
 BY JUDGE GARY
Steel Corporations Action Not Taken Through Pres ident Crawford of
 Tennessee Go.

Chairman F. H. Gary of the United States Steel corporation made the SS,00o,ooo liberty loan subscription for the corpora ton directly through three Birmingham banks. The Birmingham liberty loan com mittee issued the following statement on the subject yesterday.
 The announcement made last night by the central liberty loan committee erro- neously stated that the subscriptions made through the three local banks of s1, Ooo,oOo each by the United States Steel corporation had been placed by Mir. George G. Crawford, president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany. As a matter Of fact, the subscrip- tons were given by Judge F. H. Gary, in telegram to each of the three bank ing institutlons-the First National. the Birmingham Trust and Savings company and the American Trust and Savings bank in the following language:
 Please promptly subscribe for &C., count United States Steel corporation S1,oOo,Ooo liberty loan bonds. Answer.
 E. H. CARY The statement by the central liberty loan committee which was given to the press was responsible for the article that appeared in. the morning paper containing the same information. MT. Crawford is in no way officially connected with the United States Steel corporation and there fore is not qualified to act for it in any legal manner. The Tennessee company being substantial subsidiary corporation and so thoroughly identified with the activities of this community, accounts for the connection of Mir Crawford with tha subscription of the United States Steel corporation, in preparing the copy of the statement which was issued by the cen- tral liberty loan committee last evening. This statement is now made to correct the one made on yesterday-that neither Mir. Crawford nor the Tennessee com- pany may remain under any mbarrass- ment, or the plans of the United States Steel corporation be in any way diverted from the original intention"

WESLEY CLASS ENDS
 ITS SESSIONS HERE
About Three Hundred Delegates At tended, But Many More Are
 Expected Next Year

The annual Wesley Bible class con ference closed it's session yesterday morning at 12 o'clock. This conference is composed of representatives from all the Wesley Bible classes in the North Alabama conference About 300 delegates were in attendance yester- day.
 Great plans were made for the next conference, which will also be held here. The delegates present pledged themselves to have 500 in attendance next year and promised that they themselves would all be back. Plans were begun to have the greatest in- spirationa1 speakers III the state ap pear and probably some men from oth- CT states will speak More advertis- ing will be given the conference and efforts made in every way to make the meeting the greatest of its kind that has been held.
 The conference elected as its of- ficers for the next year: Paine Dem son, president; Mrs. Ellis K. Collier of Tuscaloosa, vice president; Rev. G. T. Cooper secretary; and Mrs. B. T. Glas- gow, Athens, treasurer.
 The programme yesterday morning was featured by 2. number of ad dresses. Dr. J. A.

The field secretary of the Southern Wesley fed eration, Dr. c. B. Bulla. was present and discussed Relationships With the World War"
 Those connected with the conference 6 feel that it has been very successful and well worth while More delegates were expected to attend than showed up, but strenuous attempts will be made to get the attendance of these representatives at the meeting next year. Those who attended the meet ings gained a great deal of inspira = tion and became even more jealous in their work. With a larger attendance and stronger programme next year, 1t is felt that even more good will grow from the conference and that it will become a greater and greater power for Christianity throughout all Alabama.
