 Eleven years ago handful of women, positively not more than 30. mst at my house and we organized the Red Cross chapter in Birmingham. As you know. the Red Cross never does anything un- til they are called upon We have no meetings, no programme, it being a mat- ter of answering the call to duty. Our first big work in Birmingham was done when we undertook the sale of Red Cross seals for Christmas using the proceeds which amounted to $4OOO, to build the ma jority of the cabins at the tuberculosis camp.
 The next work we had was at Mulga and Palos when the explosions which all Birmingham citizens remember caused so many to be in want and need. We next aided the Mississippi suffereres from the cyclone and floods over in that state. We aided the Belgium sufferers in mod est way, and recently we have wired the tuberculosis camp cabins, furnishing the bulbs and wiring for every shack and the other buildings on the grounds.
 "A very interesting thing in connec- tion with our Red Cross work in Bir- mingham," stated Mrs. Cabaniss, lis the fact that when the Palos mine explosion occurred in 1910 we wired Washington for help and Ernest P. BickweH was sent here to direct us in our work. He is now at the head of the Red Cross of all France. When he came here, we sent our doctor and two nurses to Palos, and they worked three days without ever taking off their clothes.
 "In December, 1915, there were 25,000 members of the Red Cross in America. In December, 1916, there were 3O0,0O0 And we all wonder what it will be in December, 1917. In Birmingham we started Ii years ago with 30 members, as I have stated, and today we have 5O00 who are affiliated with the Red Cross We do not claim credit for anything 1t is merely a matter of giving the won derful citizenship of Birmingham the op- portunity, and they do the rest always. It is the cooperation that we received that made the parade success, and if 1t inspired anyone to aid the Red Cross, tken we feel repaid for our york;

Three Birmingham women are largely entitled to the credit for the splendid work done in Birmingham In raising the large fund subscribed by local citizens for the Red Cross is the belief of the executive committee, of which George Gordon Crawford Is chairman.
 These three women, Mrs. B. H. Ca baniss, Mrs. w. s. Lowell and Mrs T. D.

It caused more favor able comment and created stronger sen- timent in favor of the Red Cross than any other feature of the publicity cam paign. The magnificent demonstration of the patriotism of Birmingham women aroused the men, and they went at the task set for them with a tenacity that meant success In speaking of the work of the women, Mrs. Cabaniss was asked to tell something of the history of the local chapter, and though she had to be told that it was the request of the executive committee before she would

MILITARY NOTES
 AMONG RECRUITS

Capt. Mortimer Jordan, recruiting off cer of the Fourth Alabama infantry, is now occupying the offices formerly oc- cupied by the ambulance company.
 About 800 men are still needed for his
 regiment, and men are coming very slowly. An impression seems to have gotten out that this regiment is Mont gomery regiment, simply because it is stationed there for the present, which Captain Jordan would like very much to have corrected.
 This regiment is really a north Ala bama regiment, and has a great many local men in it. There is one company that is composed entirely of Birming ham men and another that Is composed of Bessemer men. large number of the rank and file are from this district, and Captain Jordan assures anyone from Birmingham that enters his regiment that he will be among friends.
 One man was accepted yesterday-Mil- ton Higgins. Captain Ravee Norris has been detailed to assist in the work in Birmingham, and will be on hand Tn a few days. Lieutenant Bell of Company G will open an office in Bessemer next week. Efforts will be made to increase the recruiting and fill the regiment as soon as possible.
 Seven men enlisted in the regular army yesterday and were sent to Fort Ogle thorpe. The President has issued call for 10000 men this week, and the local officers hope that a much larger num- Der than usual will come forward. There are vacancies in practically every branch of the service. and the chances of quick promotion and actual service are excel lent
 The quartermaster section enlisted re- serve corps has been reopened and re- cruits are now wanted. This branch was closed on June 21. but .telegraphic in structions yesterday ordered it reopened. The men who enlisted yesterday are the following:
 Henry w. G. Caldwell, Five Points; Alfred H. Bellamy, Florence; Ather c. Lloyd, Bessemer, Walter R. Thompson, John T. M. Smith, Birming- ham; John T. Majors, Piedmont and Jesse B. Gordon, Anniston.
 The engineers regiment got two men yesterday, Clyde w. Campbell and Her rick Gasteen. The recruiting offices of this regiment at Mobile and Montgomery have been closed, and Captain Estes expects that he will receive instructions in a very few days to close his doors. In the mean time he is taxing In all the tracKmen cooks and bugers that he can obtain. F'ramers are also needed badly.
 The marines received one new man yes- terday, William Fletcher. This corps has an authorized strength of 30,000 men and is very nearly full. Only the very best men are being accepted, and the corps will probably be entirely full in a few days.
 Colonel Crenshaw's regiment at the received two new recruits yes- terday, Arthur E. Crump and Leroy Nor ris Haroldson. Orders have been issued by General Steiner that all regiments will report to the central concentration point at Montgomery soon, so this regiment will soon leave Birmingham.

EFFECT ON NATIONAL CREDIT

The best financial authorities in this city, those who have had long, practical experience as well as those who have made thorough study of national f1nanc-
 ing, are persuaded that the credit Of the United States will not be impaired, put may be strengthened through the float- ing of war loans, no matter how long the amount may be. The credit of the United States has for years ranked high est among the nations. This was not due to advantages given to national banks, whereby these banks were permitted to issue their own bills against assets in the form of government bonds, because While the credit of the United States was steadily increasing, the banks were ac- tually holding a less and less proportion of the interest bearing debt than they did for some years after the first national banking law went into effect.
 The credit of the United States. one of the best authorities said this morning, is due to the fact that our wealth, both fixed and liquid, is enormous and Is ln- creasing at a stupendous rate; second, that in production, not only in manufac- tured articles and agricultural, but also in invention, the United States stands first and also because our national reVe- nues have on the whole been so handled as to be in reasonable excess of expendi- tures The prediction is made that after the termination of the war per cent bonds issued by the United States to meet the expenses of the war will com- mand handsome premium, and that IS no doubt one of the reasons why men of large capital, as well as corporations, were persuaded to invest millions in the liberty bonds, as they will Invest mil lions more in new loans.
