LETTERS TO EDITOR
Appeal for Colored Home

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The colored women of this city have, for number of years, maintained and Old Folks and Orphans home, near Graymont, for the benefit of our old and dependent men, women and our orphans.
 By the help of our colored and white friends we have recently cleared this home of $37oo mortgage at the same
 time providing as best we could food, fuel etc, for these unfortunate ones. Owing to the high cost of living and a lack of sufficient means we cannot now
 supply their necessities without the aid of our friends.
 We are proud of our Old Folks and Orphans Home and are anxious to make the inmates comfortabie; but we are women of very limited means, and even with our best efforts and sacri- fices, we cannot possibly supply their needs.
 This club, therefore, most earnestly begs of you a Thanksgiving offering for these old folks and orphans, and We believe that He who said: Give and it shall be given you' will greatly bless and prosper you. Praying that you may look with favor
 on this appeal. we are very gratefully yours. So1ourner Truth club MRS. R. l.. STANTON, President. MRS. LIZZIE JENKINS, Treasurer. Birmingham, November 21, 1917. 11l West Street.

Camp Sheridan Notes

Montgomery, November 30.-(Special)
 Because fe stepped across the dead line into the quarantine section of Camp
 Sheridan, Maj. W. w. Schwab of Gin
 cinnati, who is free from disease, vol
 untarily has submitted himself to quar-
 antine until physicians determine wheth-
 CT or not he contracted any disea SC
 during the few seconds he was within the
 forbidden zone.
 Major Schwab overlooked the danger
 line while out walking and was within
 the zone before he realized his where-
 abouts. Physicians do not believe he was
 infested and think he can return to his
 quarters during the next few days.
 Under the court-martial order against
 Sergeant Robert Hudgins, military police,
 of Cincinnati, who was sentenced to five years at Fort Leavenworth for firing the shot which killed Private Robert T Coughlin of Cleveland, he will be per mitted to return to the army when the sentence has been completed. Officers Friday stated that the provision for a dishonorable discharge from the army had been eliminated in the belief that Hudgins did not fire the shot with any intent to kill.
 Hucksters can no longer sell pies and cakes to soldiers at Camp Sheridan. noi can washerwomen collect laundry work Division headquarters, at the suggestion of the division surgeon, has issued the orders prohibiting the practices because 1 of danger to health.
 No one knows where the pies and cakes l come from, nor what diseases may be near the places where the women prepare | the clothing for future use.
 l Thirty-one soldiers of the personnel de ] partment which has gathered the record of all members of the division, were sent i to Atlanta Friday to take census oi 1 the soldiers at Camp Gordon
 l Companies M, l., H and G, 145th in. l fantry, left Friday for the rifle range in Elmore county. where they will spend | five days on the firing. line in practice
 The companies were commanded by Cap
 tain Howell of Cleveland
 1 Pay call will sound for the division nex week, and more than s500,O00 will be dis | tributed. Tre units were mustered fol pay Friday, preparatory to the appear ance of the paymaster.

OH! LUST A LITTLE"
 ASSAULT THIS NOON

British Army Headquarters in France,
 November 30.-(By the Associated Press1
 The Germans delivered pretentious as-
 sault in force this morning on the Brit ish positions between Bourbon wood and
 Moeuvers toward the west. Under cover
 of tremendous artillery fire directed on the British lines and the back crea, the Germans in their first rush pushed over the crest of the ridge west of the wood and down to the vicinity of the
 Bapaume- -Cambrai road, just north of Graincourt
 The British after the first shock, inn mediately organized a counter attack and flung themselves against the advanc- ing Germans. Late today it was re- ported that the British had succeeded in pushing back the enemy, although the latter were resisting fiercely.
 This enemy attack was the first serl- ous attempt made to thrust the British from the positions that they obtained in General Byng's great drive of last week. It followed night Of compara- | tive quiet ali along this front, anu 1 yesterday there was little indications | that big events were impending. 1 All day a concentration of German guns. which had been rushed up for the I attack, have been pounding the British | forward and back areas and a consider l able amount of Eas shells has been l thrown The bttle west of Bourbon wood 1 was still continuing late today with I great fierceness.

MERCHANT SHIP OFFICER MUST
 SERVE TIME

New York. November~3o sentence of five years at hard labor imposed by military courtmartial on Charles F. Gerlach, former second. officer of a government steamship for disobedience at sea, was upheld by Judge Hand in the federal district court here today A writ of habeas corpus, in which it was argued that Gerlach, as a civilian, was not amenable to military law, was dismissed.
 Gerlach was returning to the United States as a passenger on an army transport, having been transferred from the vessel on which he left this coun- try. He volunteered to serve as a look out for submarines and several hours after he had done his watch he was again ordered to the bridge for anotehr tour of duty Gerlach refused on the ground that he was a civilian and pas senger on the transport. He was charged with violation of the second ar ticle of war, tried and convicted. Since october i, he has been serving his sem tence at Governors Island.
 The district attorney contended that Gerlach, admittedly an employe of the United States shipping, board, was sub ject to the articles of war while on the transport. Judge Hand ruled that as the offense had been committed on an army transport the prisoner was amenable to courtmartial under the second article of war, and that he was without power to review the sentence imposed by the military court"
 Gerlach was returned to the military authorities. His attorney announced he would appeal Judge Hands dismissal of the writ.

LABOR TROUBLES
 ID BE REGULATED
 BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, November 30.-Prepar- ations for greater governmental aid in adjusting labor supply to war needs were put under way today by the council of national defense with the appointment of l.. c. Marshall, dean of the School of Commerce and Ad- ministration of the University of Chi : cago, as chief of newly created sec. tion on industrial service.
 The new section will undertake pre- liminary investigation of the increas ing number of labor problems aris ing in direct ratio to the growing de- mands for war supplies. This inquiry, it is announced, will have four main objects
 To determine present and probable future demand for labor in war in dustries:
 To determine in connection with the priorities committee of the war in dustries board the relative priorities of the labor demand.
 To arrange for the supplying of tine demand through the department of la- bor or such other governmental or civilian agencies as can best meet the demands; and,
 To determine the needs for dilution of labor, including the introduction of women into industry, and to recon mend policies to be followed in regard thereto.
 When the facts have been estab- lished in the case of labor shortage handicapping any line of industry the council will look to representatives of the workers to supply available men. The section on industrial service VII have functions comparable to the duties of the war industries board and will bring to the defense council di- gested information from all govern ment departments regarding labor questions, but will not have power to take executive action.

FAMOUS LINE OF
 'H|NDENBURG" IS
 SAFELY PUNCTURED

British Army Headquarters in France, Thursday November 2s.-t By the Associated Press.)-The British virtually have completed the consoii- dation of the greater part of the area wrenched from the enemy in the Cam ms brai push. The work accomplished in few days is little short of miracu- : lous and today throughout much ter ritory recently held by the enemy the we'll oiled British war machine IS running like clockwor1.
 The famous Hindenburg line has been so thoroughly punctured by well built railways and tracks that the Ia nous German defenses seem little more than a myth. As one goes about this sector it appears incredible that the labyrinth of defenses built at such pains by the Germans during the last three years have not always been in the hands of the men now holding them.
 The Germans brought considerable new artillery into this region to re- place the guns that General Byns captured, hut their fire is still weak compared with that on the tlanoers front The correspondent, in visits to- day to the forward areas, found Bour' lon wood and the surrounding country under very heavy enemy gunfire, with frequent barrages of gas shells. Thls afternoon the big guns poured deluge of explosives along the ridge just south of Moeuvres
 Graincourt, Anneux and Flesqulere and other towns are being methodl- cally shelled and Graincourt rapidly is being reduced to a pile of bricks. Cambrai appeared thus far to have escaped the ravages of the artillery.
 The civilian population of Cam bral' after living three years almost ike prisoners under the iron rule Of the Prussians, have been evacuating. It Is renorted that the trains are still rum ming and there is considerable artil- 1ery activity in Cambrai, but it is all for military purposes

enceau, that the war aim for which we are fighting is victory"
 The letter of the Marquis of Lans- downe continues to be deprecated or frankly denounced in all governmental quarters. J. Austen Chamberlain, for mer secretary for India, in a speech at Northampton tonight said that he and his colleagues, both in and out or office, viewed the letter with un- feiEned regret. It was .unfavorable and inopportune because at the mo- ment when Italy and Rumania were invaded and Russia was in the throes of revolution nothing ought to be said or written throwing doubt on the Joy atty of Great Britain to her allies. MT. Chamberlain also declared that there must be mo restrictions on the rights of the belligerents at sea, such as Great Britain had exercised and the United States now was exercising. Although at present the attacks against the Marquis of Lansdowne are mostly vocal, there appears to be a considerable body of liberal opinion which welcomes his letter and much l interest is being exhibited in what | the press of the United States has to say on the subject. There also is a deal of curiosity as to what support ! the Marquis of Lansdowne may have
 | had among the political leaders. 1t be
 ! ing believed that he was not likely to publish such an appeal without some
 such acquiescence. According to some rumors. Earl Loreburn, former lord
 high chancellor. and the Earl of Rose.
 1 bery were consulted before the let | ter was given to the press.
 1 The Weekly Nation expresses the
 | opinion that the war policy of Wis count Grey, former foreign secretary I is identical with the Marquis oi l Lansdowne's views
 l An interesting point of view of some

Washington, November S0.-Requests from different government quarters Tor priority of transportation for each food fuel and munitions has thrown the whole question of preferential shipment into a tangle. The committee on priority of transportation, of which Robert s. Lovett is chairman, was trying tonight to clear the situation.
 Acting on the suggestion of Fuel Adr ministrator Garfield the general operating committee of eastern railroads without waiting for formal government action today gave coal and coke shipments a general right-of-way to clear congested terminals and announced that they would be given preference to the fullest possi- ble extent. Dr. Garfield has requested of the priority committee general order giving coal the tracks.
 Tonight the food administration an nounced it had entered a strong protest with the priority committee against glV- ing the piority to coal movement or any other freight over food shipments. The situation is further complicated by de- mands of the war and navy departments for preferential rights for the movement of their supplies At the offices of the priority committee no one would say what materials would be given preference and some officials suggested that the whole question might be taken up for decision by the recently created war council comprising department heads and chairmen of the various government boards and commissions.
 The railroads themselves, in responding to Dr. Garfield's request that coal be moved as head of freight. asked a priority order for coal be withheld until heads have had an opportunity to test their
