let no breadstuffs be served of which wheat is the sole or essential element; but with the same spirit of devotion let it be contributed to the rations of the saviors of the world In the trenches of Europe. Corn, and rye, barley products may be served freely, but let the wheat be saved and you will merit the gratitude of the world. The world has not walked up to the situation as yet, but it must yet dawn upon 1t that the heartless, cruel, soulless. faithless German is the enemy of mankind at large, and that there is to be no place for any other na- ton on this earth unless this monster be suppressed.
 1t is characteristic of a mere galley slave to be driven to do what he ought to do out of a sense of right and Jus tice; but, as I quoted above it is but the submission of free people to their own laws which mark them as a free people, and in the capacity in which l have un- dertaken to write this letter to the Dub- lie at large and to the hotel men and purveyors in particular, I make this appeal to them to cooperate with the government in the behalf of this item of it's conservation regulae.
 All of the restaurateurs were not pres ent on the occasion on which the Hon. Bruce Kennedy made his appeal to the hotel men, and some of the restaura- : teurs who were present. or l would not deem it necessary to make this appeal by way of supplement to his masterly effort; but that none may be able to plead ignorance of the situation, I am presenting this through the press of the city, urging upon all purveyors that they

peal to the Hotel association of the state of Alabama last week, Hon. Bruce Ken nedy made q most eloquent appeal to the purveyors to the public to cooperate with those of the citizens who are willing to make the sacrifice.
 The hotel men and restaurateurs lose nothing by their cooperation, but it means In common parlance "full belly" to some conscript of ours in the trenches in Belgium and France, and as president of the Birmingham Hotel Mems association. I make this appeal to all purveyors in the city of Birmingham to cooperate with the government. and to see to it that on each Tuesday of each week no meats be served to the public which can be supplied to the soldiers in the trenches, and that on Wednesday of each week the wheat that might be con- sumed in due course of the days busi- ness be cut out and contributed to the flour sack of the hero in Belgium and France. This does not mean that no meat in the generic sense be furnished to the public, but that on Tuesday Of each week that no flesh meat be served which may. be conserved for the hero in the trenches.
 Game may be served without violation of the spirit of the ordinances: fish may be served fowls may be served But beef. mutton, pork in all it's forms should on Tuesday of each week be eschewed with all due reverence and de- votion to the needs of the youth of America who, in the trenches of Bel gium and France, will be vindicating the freedom of the world''

times in the lives of men when laws must be enacted of the free will of the people in anticipation of what the law makers would do in the due course of time.
 The exigencies of the times require the free will offerings and daily sacrifice on the part of each citizen to the end that the freedom of the world which is at stake in this war may be vindicated, and those of us who are too old for service, or who being beyond the age which the policy of the government con siders to be to the best interest of all to call upon for active service in the war are not called to serve, may vet con tribute to the winning of this war for the freedom of the world
 To the end that our noble youth in France and Belgium may maintain the physical strength and vigor adeouate to the maintenance of moral and spiritual stamina requisite to the grim duties to be performed by them, our government has ordained that there be the greatest possible conservation of the foods neces- sary to their sustenance and in purslt- ance thereof that the citizens make the free will sacrifice of one meatless day and one wheatless day each week. and on the occasion of the governments ap-

Gen. Barnett Reviews His Colored Troops-Minister Takes Out Memberships
 for His Whole Family

A number of beautiful Red Cross booths for the Christmas membership drive are installed at the Pythian Tenn pie building, BIO Eighteenth street. north, at the Peoples drug store, 1725 Third avenue. north; Diffay's barber ship. 1n9 Third avenue, north, and the Dunbar hotel, s25 Seventeenth street, north. These booths are presided over by the leading colored women of the city, and they will alternate daily. At the Py- thian building is permanent headquar- ters. and Mrs. R. E. Maclin, chairman of the Booker T. Washington Red Cross auxiliary, is there at all times, and to- gether with the executive committee of the organization, they are receiving money from captains, churches and the several organizations throughout the district.
 Today Rev. c. L. Thornton came in. and reported for his church, the Twenty third Street Baptist, and took out membership for every member In his family, and this included a baby less than six months old.
 Campaign Manager Oscar W. Adams is still appealing to men, women and chil- dren in all walks of life to come for ward and join the Red Cross. The ap- peal Is made to business men, profes- SlOHdl men, DuSllOSS WOitlCllp plOlOooiOAiAA women, laborers, cooks washerwomen, nurses, maids, buffers, porters. draymen, miners, tradesmen and, in fact, all the people arc asked to come forward and register with the government.
 While Monday was given over for vol unteers and the showing as Is stated by the chairman, Mrs. R. B. Maclln, IS very creditable. The colored people need not be surprised to see the captains Of their army driving into their homes. their business places, catching them on the streets and pulling them in to line for the great work being done by the Red Cross association.
 The organization among the colored people will know when the drive is over just who have been appealed to in the colored race and what effect the appeal they are keeping a duplicate roll of the ones handed to the central Red Cross association. The managers state that they want this roll for more than one reason. First, they want it for rec ord, and second, it will be kept as a souvenir roll for the men and women, boys and girls who respected one week s Christmas drive for membership. who felt like encouraging the boys at the front, and those now in training at least $1 worth.
 No one can afford to be left out of this drive. The effort is a sacred one, 1t Is one of human devotion, human interest and purely a Christmas mission. At the booths today will be: Mrs. E. c. Shaw, Mrs. w. A. D. Malone. Mrs. J. c. Johnson and Mrs. A. R. Mosby. Of course, Mrs. Maclin and her execu- tive committee will be at the Pythian Temple building.
 Gen. Frank Willis Barnett was around Monday and complimented the colored troop upon their organization and plans.
