 Can our American women with their splendid patriotism and loyalty" Mrs Reed said, allow our allied sisters to do more than we are doing? The women of France are pioughing in the fields that the men of their army may be fed. Will not the women of America lend money to their country that their own fighting men may be provided for?
 "The women of England, from the
 highest to the humblest, are toiling in intuition factories to make guns and
 shells for their soldiers. Will not the
 women of America do that far easier
 thing of merely lending the money to buy
 the guns for eduipping the American men?
 'The women of Russia are fighting in the trenches inflamed by the hope that a free Russia may be a safe home for their children. The safety for which Russian women give their blood was won for American women long ago by the swords of American men. To preserve this safety for you and your children, American men are now marching to bat tie even as their forefathers marched. Will American women stand shoulder to shoulder with them? They are offering their lives as gift. Will you offer your dollars as a loan?

MUD OF FLANDERS HAS NO COMPETITOR DECLARES WRITER
Two Great Armies Facing Each Other in Wide Morass While Rain
 Continues

British Front in France and Belgium, Saturday, October 1o-With the exception of two brief intervals of sunlight. there was continuous hard rain today on the Belgian battle front. This was most inn portant news from the new battle line, for it meant that the low lying fields in Flanders were rapidly being turned into that state of liquidation which repre- sented Flanders at it's worst, and Elan ders at it's worst has few competitors.
 Troops in the forward lines of the op- posing armies were lying out in this will derness of mud and water with little protection from the cold, driving rain, watching each other intently, but making few attempts to stir from the morass bound positions. Desultory fighting was continuing, for the lines como close to- gether in many places and rifles and ma chine guns were pouring streams of bull lets across mo mans land.''
 The British were clinging doggedly to the strips of territory which they had wrested from the enemy on Friday. That Field Marshal Haigs men were able to advance at all over this almost impass- able ground is still 8 matter of wonder among observers.
 As result of yesterdays attack the British greatly improved their positions, especially along the important Passchen- daele ridge and on the left wing of the offensive north of Poelcappele. In some few places they made no advance at all or rather were pushed forward and then were forced to fall back because of the mud barriers they encountered.

Who's Who in Second Liberty Loan Bond Campaign With Mrs. Prentss Reed, Chairman Woman's Division of the Greater Birmingham and Bessemer Committee

To save your homes from the flames destroying France, your babies from the sword that murdered infants in Poland, your daughters from the hordes that rav- ished Belgian women even as they fled through the streets, American men are making the supreme sacrifice. What sac rifice will you make to help equip these defenders of your courtry? WhSr ~ill you give up that you may help fine ace the struggle to save American freedom? ?'
 Another thing" Mrs. Reed said, mo gifts are asked it is strictly a business proposition. A loan is desired; not free. loan, either, but a ioan of interest. When you buy a liberty bond you are not giving away your money. You are merely lending it to the United States government. As long as it uses your money the government will pay you per cent interest. The loan itself will be re- turned in 10 to 25 years. If you want it back sooner you can get it by selling your bond Safe places for savings are being sought in this hour of financial uncer-e tainty. No vault in the world is as safei as Uncle Sams promise to pay his debt to you. One dollar down buys a $50 bond Other payments will be $9 November 15, s20 December 15, s2o January 15. Your banker will finance it for you on terms as easy as s1 per week..

! HRS7 WONDER if the women of this district realize that the wom- = ans division of the Greater Bir- mingham and Bessemer liberty loan committee Is the first executive com
 mittee of women ever called together here representing women of all sec ] tions in this district? All sections, Ems | ley West End. woodlawn, Graymont, 1 Elyton, East Lake, Avondale, Pratt City, Vivian, Fairfield are asked to lco-operate and do their bit to sell the clothing for our brave, splendid men who are fighting to guard us."
 Mrs. Prentiss B. Reed expressed her. ! self in this enthusiastic, concise man ner yesterday when approached about the part that women are to play in the second liberty loan bond campaign which the great United States of American is instituting in order to maintain our vast army and supply our soldiers with sustenance during the coming winter.
 This is the first appeal for o-opera- ton (to be made by men) sent to wom- en as individuals and not as organi- zations," Mrs Reed continued, and I feel sure that there isn't g. woman ia this prosperous district of ours who will decline to do her level best to make the sale of the second liberty bonds a success. We want the women of Greater Birmingham and Bessemer
 to come to our meetings, whether they sell bonds or not. In the first place,
 many women object to asking for
 money, but I'm glad to say that the
 women will not be asked to collect
 money in this campaign. They are
 merely asked to promote the work and
 distribute literature; to list the names
 of women to buy bonds or the names of women who are considering the buying of bonds. Of course there is what we call follow-up' work at headquarters,
 but the primary object is Just what I've stated"
 "Our big meeting is to take place next Thursday afternoon at the Tut wiler at 3 o'clock, Mrs. Reed said and we urge the women of this dis trict to attend; just come and see what we are trying to do; that's all we ask; I believe after they know what we are trying to do, they will be glad enough to do their bit There are few women whose hands and brains are not already busy in war service. We can no more decline to answer this new call, however, than can the sol- dier wearied by many battles fail to go on to the next trench. If American men will march mile after mile through sleet and snow, through flame and shot and poisoned gas, will not American women walk a few blocks to explain liberty bonds to other Ameri- can women? To buy clothes and food and shoes for our soldiers, liberty bonds must be sold, and our women
 must help. A visit to some homes may
 mean the sale of bonds to many wom-
