MARSHAL ]OFFRE IN
 CANADA SUNDAY
Possibly No Man Ever Re ceived Such Spontaneous
 Welcome in Montreal

Montreal, May 13-Joseph Jacques Joffre, marshal of France, paid visit to Montreal today that will rank as one of the greatest events of Canadian history. Probably no man ever received such spontaneous and general welcome. Ap- parently the pleasure was mutual, for Marshal Joffre smiled his way through the immense crowds who lined the streets and his right hand at saluate almost con- tinuously. He was the guest of both the city and dominion government and every possible honor was paid to him. His coming is expected to have a good effect on recruiting in the province of Quebec as he took occasion to intimate that al- though Canada had done much in the war, more was desired.
 Marshal Joffre arrived from Boston at Il o'clock and after a brief reception at the station the parade started. It con sisted of the local military unites ana many civilians. The profession passed through streets beflagged with union jacks, the French tri-color and the Stars and Stripes, to F'letchers field. where the civic address was presented to Marshal Joffre by the mayor, and who briefly re- piled.
 After the civic function Marshal Jofrre reviewed about 5000 troops and later stopped at McGill University campus tc visit returned soldiers, many of them badly crippled, who had fought in France
 The state reception to Marshal Jotfre was in the form of luncheon attended by 100 representative men. Lieut.. Col P. F. Blondin, former postmaster gen. eral, presided.
 Marshal Joffre left Montreal late in the afternoon.

LEON c. BRADLEY IS WITH FIRST TRAINING
 COMPANY AT CAMP
Former City Editor of The Age-Her- aid Is Now at Fort
 McPhersOn

By the time this item is read by the many friends and acquaintances of Leon c. Bradley, until Saturday night city editor of The Age Herald, our heretofore esteented city editor and friend will have donned his uniform and taken his place in training with the many other patriotic sons of Birmingham and Alabama who are now at Fort McPherson, Ga.
 MT. Bradley left Birmingham Saturday night for Atlanta, and was assigned to first company five minutes after he saw the adjutant Sunday morning. Mir Brad ley passed the examination early last week in Birmingham taking an A grade.
 While the duties of city editor are somewhat akin to the clocklilIe service one has to render in the army, the re- strictions are hardly as severe. thought the C. F.. is often times the goat when he could not see personally where he 'brtted in" But aside from posing around in a perfectly good looking uni form Leon will now have to get out of the hay about 15 minutes prior to five
 bells a. m., attend mess al 6:15, drill a little, clean up some, attend school, mus
 ter at 12:15 then dinner and more drll
 aud instruction, supper around 4 o'clock,
 then inspection muster followed by study
 or special detail, then at o'clock off go
 the lights and Leon won't have thing to do until tomorrow.
 Leon Bradley has the best wishes oi every member of The Age-Herald staff in fact, every man in every department wishes him all kinds of gold ornaments and the other emoluments that go with this officers braid. He has been in the newspaper game for years in Birming-
 ham and Tuscaloosa, then back in Bir' mingham, and any man who has gone through the mill of a small daily, ther made good in the big tops is entitled tc several commissions. Here's luck, Leon and we are missing you and wishing yot everything that you want just as fast as YOU can think of it-every man of The Age-Herald bunch, from M. E. right or down to ye devil. J. B.

HUDSON SPEEDSTER
 UNMATCHED BEAUTY
New Addition to Family of Hudson Super-Sixes Is of Striking
 Design

There has been a new birthday in
 the famous family of the Hudson s@-
 per-siXes." said Donald Drennen, pres
 ident of the Birmingham Motor corn
 pany. "The new Hudson four-passen-
 ger speedster, for which the youthful
 element has watched impatiently since
 it was first announced, has at last been
 put on the market.
 Its chubby sport motor of uu-
 matched beauty and striking design
 the most spirited in appearance of any during 1917.
 Its lines bespeak the fleetness and tremendous power which it's super six motor guarantees This stock su- per-six motor in a stock chassis hal
 made a speed of 102.53 miles an hour It has driven 1919 miles in 24 hours
 breaking all records by 52 per cent Twice it has broken the transconti- rental record in one continuous triL of 1000 miles. It is singularly the mo- tor for powerful speed car, equal tc any emergency, quick on the pickup and indefatigable for ranging far an6 fast with the utmost security. Owing to the great demand in al our other styles the factory Is able tc build only limited number of speed sters this year. Many orders have al ready been placed ahead by motorists who know the Hudson product
 The speedster is finished in cobal blue with vermilIion wheels, and tht beveled body edges are finished Il black. The wheels are 32x41a inches The body is low, the seats are de- signed for lounging comfortably. q am confident that the demand fol this car will be so great that the fac tory will be unable to keep up witt orders ard as I am desirous of see ing it well represented in Birmine ! ham I advise those who are seeking [ distinctive open motor to by all means see the Hudson super-six speedster a an carly date"
