MONEY IMPORTANT

New Orleans June S.-That money is more important in warfare than ever before and that the first duty of Ameri- cans is to respond to the call of the coun- try and purchase liberty bonds thus SUD- plying loans to carry on the present con hict, was declared by Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, in an ad- dress delivered at liberty loan mass thousand persons.
 The quicker you subscribe the means to carry on the war and let the enemies of your country know that you have un- limited means to achieve liberty through out the world, the quicker the war is go- ing to come to an end, he said.
 NO one can tell now when this war will end, no one can tell how it is going to end. But the price of defeat would be so fearful for Americans I hesitate even to suggest it. The price of defeat to America would mean that the Ger man Hohenzollerns, with their hmitless and lustful ambition for world conquest, would be supreme throughout the world.
 WOULD FREE" GERMANY
 While we are vindicating Uncle Sam and vindcating the principle of liberty, we hope that we also shall be able to bring about the one thing that the Ger man people need more than anything else to disenslave them, and that is self-gov- ernment for themselves"
 Digressing for a moment to discuss tax alton the secretary said: Tt is human nature always not to want to be taxed, but I cannot understand how in time of war, when we are actually comman- deering our sons, men should quibble about taxation. If the cause is worth fighting for it is worth sacrificing for. When men go and give their lives for our country the men who don't give their lives ought to be willing to give what ever is necessary of their property. I want to tell you now as your Secretary of the Treasury that $1,s00, ,o00000 of tax aton for the next year is the least pos sible sum with which we can safely pro- ceed in this war"
 HARDING SPEAKS
 W. P. G. Harding governor of the fed eral reserve board also spoke. He ex- plained that the liberty loan issue should

 follows:
 The total amount of subscriptions to the liberty loan reported up to date to the treasury department aggregates s1,- Soo, ,Oo0 which is less by $7oO,0OO,0o than the total amount desired. There are seven days within which to raise the s70e, 900 and to oversubscribe the loan Efforts should be redoubled all along the line to secure subscriptions. The enthusiastic work now under way, if continued with out abatement until the 18th of June, will produce the desired results and the loan will be a great success. But there must not be any cessation in the work and it must not be assumed that the loan is al- ready accomplished. I regret to find that there is an impression in some parts of the country that the liberty loan has al- ready been oversubscrbed. Let this be dissipated immediately and let every lover of liberty in America resolve to apply

 They are thoroughly converted and It should be significant that the finance committee, in going over the properties here today spent fully one-third of it's time looking into the welfare work and what has been accomplished along this line"
 Hugh Morrow was never happier as toastmeaster
 He introduced Dr. Edmonds as a part of the wealth of Birmingham and pr Edmonds closed the speaking m his own inimitable way He invited the guests to come to Birmingham to live, said Birmingham had put the Steel corporation on trial and found 1t not guilty; told them ito go and sin no more" and said that whenever they wanted to make further invest ments here, Birmingham would be glad 10 take the matter up with them and give them patient hearing and would most likely give it's consent as 1t had in the past.

BIRTH OF NEW IDEA

And right here in Birmingham it is likely that this combination will have it's beginning-where there may be the birth of an idea which will spread over the whole world You have here men from everywhere--men with brains who can secure and are securing the effl- ciency-and you have the sympathy and hearts to cooperate in the welfare work which we have sought to introduce in the Steel corporations activities. The union of these two here may mean the germination of a new combination or ideas which will spread over and domi- nate the world
 You are about to undergo great de- veopment. You are about to have the ey es of the world turned upon you. You are about to be advertised far and wide. And the city is worthy This is my third visit and it was delightful to me today to see the impression made upon those of our party who had never been here before They knew the inherent wealth in the presence of iron, coal and stone,

BANKS NEGLIGENT

Many banks throughout the country apparently have been negligent in ad- yising the treasury of progress made thus far in obtaining subscriptions. Tho location of these banks is understood to be country wide. When asked if figures for each federal reserve dis triet were available. Assistant Secre- tary Crosby said tonight that the fig- ures might follow later and that they at present revealed great differences in the proportions of the estimated re- quirements actually reported by differ ent districts.
 Mir. Crosby said he hoped that those now showing badly would improve at once "by virtue of the efforts now be- ing made to get reports from banks and trust companies receiving sub scriptions but now negligent in making their returnss'

NATURE GENEROUS

Mature has been wonderfully generous to Birmingham. We are in a terrible war and it is hard to think enthusiastically in such tragic times and yet this war is to mean greater things to Birmingham than anything else could possibly have brought about.
 "The other day I was talking to one of my children and I said that in future school histories I believed there would be three great events from which all other history would be dated-the birth of Christi the flood and the present war.
 War in the past has always brought ultimate good And just as this is the greatest of all wars it has occurred to me that there will grow out of 1t greater good than from any of the great wars of the past, Some way l feel that there will be a combination of German eff ciency with the ideals of this nation in the future relations of mankind which will place the world upon higher plane ha,

MEN OF BRAINS

They are not only men of wealth but they are men of brains They are capa- bic of handling the tasks and deciding the great questions which come before them. But more than either of these things, they are men with hearts. They are men who believe that the accumulation of money is not everything, but that they
 have a high duty and mission in improv- ing working conditions and in making their workmen happier and better citi- zens.
 Since the corporation became possessed of the Tennessee company in lY07 In a time of panic and in order to save a chaotic situation something like $32,OOO, 033 has been appropriated for improve ments in Alabama. I can now promise you that as a result of the present visit of the finance committee to your city a very large sum of money is to be ap- propriated for use in the immediate fu- ture in this district"

Judge Gary S announcement was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm, both men and women joining in the prolonged ap- pause which followed his announcement of the projected extensions and develop ments. As he made his announcement the pleasure he felt was also reflected on the faces of the other members of the finance committee who were following his words so closely.
 Mr. Perkins was next called upon and proved thoroughly delightful speaker.
 He began in a humorous vein and told some good stories. After his reference to the present occasion being his third vis- it to The Kingdom of Birmingham" he said that he was glad to have MT Baker and MT. Prick get some of the enthusiasm that the rest of them had about the city.

Survivor of Submarine Attack
Enlists in Navy

Herman L. Dupree, twenty years of
age, from Birmingham, Ala walked
aboard the u. s. S. Recruit in Union
Square, New York, at five o'clock
Tuesday afternoon and said he wanted
to enlist in the United States Navy
While he was being examined by Sur
geon ]. j. Sweeney he casually re-
marked that he had the experience of
submarine gun fire during the past
summer. Dupree had shipped from
Protland, Maine, last June on the Nor
wegian tanker, "Kongslis bound for
Rotterdam. On the return trip in the
third, week of August, out four days,
from the coast of Rotterdam at five
thirty in the morning three shots were
sent across the bow of the tanker.
Dupree said:
81 was on watch on the hurricane
deck The weather was clear and
calm No warning was given except
the three shots. Twenty more were
fierd and in ten minutes we were sunk.
The crew of % took to the three boats
and immediately the submarine arose
and came within fifty yards Of US.
This was the conversation the Captain
of the submarine had with our skip
per. It was all in English with no
trace of German accent.
How long have you had this
ship?' said the submarine captain"
A year and half, answered
our skipper. =
Where was she built. he asked.
Baltimore. was the reply"
What kind of crew shave
your
Mixed. Danish. Swedes and Nor
wegians.
" Any Americans -
None -
According 10 Dupree the captain of
the tanker asked for tow and he was
told that an English cruiser would be
along in the morning. The next day
the cruiser came along but paid no at
tention to the men. It being rule OF
the British Admiralty not to pick up
life boats. After laundering in the
rough sea with no rations but a few
biscuits and very little water the men
finally landed at St. Nazares, France.
Dupree has been three years at sea
having shipped from Norfolk, Va. He
was educated in the public schools ct
Birmingham. de was sent to the
Training Station at Newport.

AT The Palace Tonight.

1.-THE Battle of the Sexes" or The
Single Standard is the title of the ex-
cellent picture to be shown at the
Palace tonight.
Frank Andrews, successful BUSH
ness mana man who has always
found pride and joy in the company
of his loving wife and daughter-sud-
denly finds himself enthralled by the
advances Of gay young woman--a
siren, who lives in the same apartment
house. So marked an influence does
she have over him as time progresses
that at last he quite forgets his home
ties, neglects his family and goes the
way of many other men who have for
gotten the meaning of paternity and
blood ties. The story is advanced
through many scenes enacted with the
accompanying notes of esew York's
night life, and the denouement comes
when the faithful wife discovers her
husbands infidelity. At this time
the mothers mind nearly loses bal
ance. while Jane, the beautiful daugh-
ter, crazed by the grief of her mother,
determines to take part in the trag-
edy. See the picture.

LATEST Of Poets.

The LATEST of British poets and
possibly the LATEST of men, was
James Thomson, who won a place in
English literature by his two works,
1.-THE Seasons" and "The Castle of In
dolence." He is spoken of as an Eng
fish poet because his work was done
in England. but he was Scotch by
extraction and by place of birth. He
was born at Ednam, in Roxburgh-
shire, Scotland, in the year 1700-nine
years before the birth of Samuel
Johnson. AT the age of twenty-five
he went to London to make his way
in literature. He was tutor, writer
for the press, dramatist and poet, but
he is remembered today by reason Of
the two poems already mentioned. He
died at the age of forty-eight. 1t is
related of Thomson that he seldom got
out of bed until noon and often not
then. Most of 1.-THE Seasons" and
nearly all of ''The Castle of Incidence"
were written in bed. Thomson excelled
more in descriptions than in episode
or reflection.

HOW TO REMEMBER THINGS
Simple Ways by Which the Memory
May Be Trained to Be Great
Asset to Possessor.

In an article about man with a
great memory, in the American Maga-
zine, writer says:
"'Any test which trains your mind
to really see things at a quick glance
will help a lot returned Horgan.
One of the best tests / know is to
stand in front of the show window of
a store and glance quickly at all the
articles in the window and then turn
away and see how many you can re-
member. Practice will make anyone
pretty adept at this.
Look at the passengers opposite
you in a street car. Then shut your
eyes and try to visualize each one of
them. Glance at the advertising pla-
cards over their heads. Close your
eyes and see how many you can re-
member. All these things will help
you in remembering a mans features
from a quick glance: it would be inn
polite and usually impossible to stand
and stare in a mans face for three or
four minutes.
"'Meet all the people you can.
Watch them. Keep lists of their
names. Sit down at night and check
up the people you have met that day /;
see how clearly you can call up the
image of EACH"
