The Age-Herald is therefore urged to impress upon it's white and negro readers to take upon themselves the obligation of getting all such negroes to go to the proper place to register today and to assist them in making out their papers.

Suffragists Will Begin Their Canvass of the Residence Sections of
 City Tomorrow

Organization of practically all commit tees and a better understanding of what each will have to do until June 15, the last day for the selling of liberty loan bonds, featured activities at the headquar- ters of the local liberty loan committee yesterday.
 The whirlwind campaign, decided upon by the committee with the flying squad ron in charge will be on tomorrow night in all moving picture shows and theatres, as well as other places, the managers of these places having permitted speakers to address the audiences after each show
 The first of a series of speeches, which are to be made at the theatres was made at o'clock yesterday afternoon at Loew's Bijou theatre, when M. H. sterne. assistant secretary of the liberty loan committee, addressed large crowd. ex- plaining every detail of the bonds, and the importance of all taking one or more. At two shows last night MT Sterne addressed other crowds, and unusual in- terest was shown at each of them.
 SHOWED MUCH INTEREST
 MT Loew is very much interested in the immediate disposition of all the lib- erty bonds and for this reason he was anxious that the committee avail them- selves of the opportunity to speak to the audiences" said MT. Sterne. "The first of the series was not scheduled until tomorrow night. but it was thought best to get busy immediately"
 The talks last night lasted for about five minutes, but in these five minutes MT. Sterne was able to explain to the satisfaction of all the features of the bonds
 A member of the liberty loan commit tee yesterday morning addressed members of the juries of Jefferson county in Judge Pugh's division. Judge Fort explained to the men that the buying of the liberty loan bonds was as necessary as the send ing of large army to France. This is something unusual'' said Judge Fort. 'It is unusual for the courts to allow speakers to come in and take up time, but the need of fair explanations of the bonds made 1t necessary that you jurors be addressed by a member of the committee.
 Among those who will make speeches at the Lyric and Majestic theatres to- I morrow night are: J. Knox Fleming and l B. H. Mooney. Speakers for other places | follow: Frank Stevens. H. H. K. Jeffer- son. A. J. Daly and J. Hudson Baker
 of the American Trust and Savings bank; Paul Angel of the First National bank (Continued Page Nine)

trouble necessary to get it, and that Birmingham would be a better city with the flag always waving in plain view.
 It was decided that a second coat of white paint would improve the pole, and it was put on late yesterday afternoon. It will be dry by today, and guarantees the pole against rust.
 O. H. Martinsen is chairman of the flag pole committee, and deserves great praise for the results he has obtained. He has had a loyal committee from the Civic association under him, which has aided and co-operated with him in every possible way.

The message announcing the post ponement of the trip of the Italian mission to Birmingham at this time, when Italian societies and indiyid- uals, the city of Birmingham, the Chamber of Commerce and the Civic association had displayed such keen anticipation of the intended visit, Is source of keen disappointment to Birmingham today.
 Prince Udine, who is heading the Italian mission, has become i'll and for this reason the trip had to be cancelled at this time, but will most likely be made later.
