GO UNDER KNIFE,
THEN FIGHT FOR U. S.
Two of PuIIman's Recruits, Rejected
Because of Minor Ailments,
VIII Submit TO Operations,
Then Join Ranks

Physical ailments which require
the use of the knife to correct will
not keep Howard O'Kelly and Lee
Waller from chasing German sub
marines as mem bers of Uncle Sam 5
navy. The two boys went to Spo-
kane with the Pullman contingent
last Thursday but were temporarily
rejected by the examining officer
there because Of minor physical i'm
projections. They were told that op-
erations in the Portland hospital
would correct the ailments and make
them acceptable as apprentice sea-
men. Both the boys agree to go
under the knife to prepare them
selves for service and will leave for
Portland TO undergo operations as
soon as orders to that effect are re-
ceived, the crowded condition of the
hospital making imm ediate opera
tions impossible. Waller was found
to be possessed of slight rupture
while O'Kelley will be operated upon
for eye trouble.
Dewey Lingg, another of the Pull
man patriots, was rejected because
of poor eyesight and hearing.

RED CROSS BULLETINS.

When war was declared the neu-
trality of the American Red Cross
ceased. 1t can only operate behind
the lines of the Allied forces. But
the Red Cross will accord the same
treatment to wounded enemy
turned over to it as it does to its
friends. We show no hatred to a
man who is down. This is the rule
with the Red Cross of every country.
The first unit of the Red Cross
motor trucks is now being forward
ed to France and probably has ar
rived. Fifty experienced men, Chau-
ffeurs and mechanics went with the
unit. An experienced railroad exc
cutive will have personal super
vision of all Red Cross motor trucks.
This executive is another of the vol
unteer helpers who, together with
many Of the fifty of the first unit,
donates his services to the Red Cross
work. This will help to relieve the
already oyerworked railroads of
France.
Five fully equipped labratory
cars will be ready for emergency
work should any epidemic appear
in the army cantonments or yicin-
ity. Five experts are ready to &C
company each car. These cars will
be stationed at large railroad
points where any army center can
be reached in twenty-four hours
upon request of either federal or
state authorities. This plan has the
approval !of the surgeons of both
army and navy and of the U. s.
public health service.
The citizens of Smithwick held a
ibig picnic dinner in the town hall
on Labor Day. Chicken and pie and
all that goes between were served IN
great abundance. A big crowd OF
hungry folks were on hand to DO
their duty. About $4,000 was In the
treasury when the day was done,
which will be used to add to the
mess fund for the soldier boys and
for Red Cross work.
After dinner the things were put
away. Rev. Oliver C. Johnson, pres
ident of the Fall River Red Cross.
made brief address. whereupon
the Smithwick Auxiliary was or
ganized with twenty-one members.
These workers are in earnest. This
viii be one OF the busy auxilliartes
in the Red Cross and other patriotic
work.
Have you realized that 100000
soldiers, large numbers Of Red Cross
workers, Y. M. C. A. men and others
connected with the war operations
have already landed on French soil
yithout the loss Of man, horse.
var munition or Red Cross supply! !!
lit may be a long time until the war
is over. but we may we'll be thank
Iful that things have gone 80 well
with our boys thus far. There are
number OF our girls there too.
Thank God for their safe voyage.

Road Maintenance
 Much Neglected

WV progress in improving it's roads many counties neglect to pro- vide for repair work. This is false economy. The annual report of the highway commission, made public few days ago, shows that 99 miles of improved roadway were built by state aid during the fiscal year, at an expenditure of S176, ,158.52; and that the counties constructed 1450 miles and did much bridge work at total cost of $3,447, ,131.2S.
 Alabama now has nearly 10000 miles of improved roads as compared with 3780 miles when the highway department was established in 1911. That is a most creditable record, but even a better record will be made next year.
 State Engineer W. s. Keller is con- tinually urging counties that build good roads to provide fund for their maintenance. No matter how we'll the construction work has been done, the road, if not looked after, will wear out and drop into the bad-road class. The commission strongly condemns the practice of building fine road and then permitting it to travel, wear and disintegrate without the pro- verbal stitch in time"
 With practical economy in view every county should heed the highway commissions strictures. Let the slo- gan be: "More roads and careful up- keep"

Community Music
 Fund Increasing

GN HE fund being raised to sustain
 U the Philharmonic orchestra, an indispensable feature of the communi- ty music heard at the Bijou theatre every Sunday afternoon, is growing, but the campaign will have to be ex- tended into next week, perhaps, be- fore the 5000 sought is in sight.
 There are hundreds of prosperous and public-spirited citizens who would be glad to help the cause, which has taken such hold on Birmingham, if they were called upon personally by Director Robert Lawrence or mem Der of the community committee. But it would be distinctly encouraging to the leaders in the community move ment if the men and women who feel able to contribute $5 or more were to send their check to treasurer ool Caheen without waiting to be solicited.
 The Philharmonic orchestra has
 been an agreeable surprise to the music lovers of Birmingham. Not withstanding the fact that it has been organized only few weeks it's play ing is of very high artistic merit. With 5000 assured the progress of the orchestra will continue, but this great musical undertaking deserves the patronage of all persons inter- ested in Birmingham's civic as we'll as musical advancement.
 A fund of $5000 would raise the Philharmonic to symphonic rank. With the right sort of cooperation lS500O could be obtained easily.

Wrong Way to Get
 Votes for Women

@PEAKING at a suffrage rally in 0 New York, Mrs. William Jen- nings Bryan, who has the enviable reputation of being model wife and mother, departed from the role she has played in the past and made an attack on men which does her little credit.
 In part Mrs. Bryan said: "Man has always opposed those things which spoke for progress. He referred to the first matches as hellish inven- tion. The cooking stove, too, was thought by him to be dangerous, and the baby buggy was looked upon as . device which. was certain to carry woman daily miles from her home and cause neglect of her duties. Street lighting was opposed as bound to in crease immortality and to cause people to prowl about the streets all night.
 There was more in similar vien, but the remarks quoted above are suf- ficient to show some of the curious mental processes of women in arguing their fitness to vote. Such addresses as Mrs. Bryan was so unfortunate as to make do not help the cause" On the contrary they create opposition where there was none before. Mrs. Bryan was Justify cheered. Evidently her auditors believed that she was making a tremendously impressive speech.
 Women will get the vote eventually, but it will be in spite of the trivial and immaterial arguments advanced by some of their leaders as sound and convincing logic.

Resources to Be
 Well Advertised

17T1 HE SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL
 ll CONGRESS- annual conven- ton. held in New York this week, was of unusual interest. Secretary of Commerce Redfield's speech on the far-reaching opportunities for ex- banding Americas foreign trade after the war was at once animating and educative. St. Elmo Massengale, the head of a great advertising agency, discussed the south's re- sources and it's gain in wealth, and made timely suggestions touching the economic value of judicious ex- ploitation of this section by the use of printers ink. w. P. G. Harding addressed the congress and in the course of his remarks made reference to the wonderful financial strength of the nation and urged the necessity of subordinating all else to the win ming of the war"
 The proceedings of the congress were business-like, and large benefits will result. The most constructive action of the convention was the adop- tion of resolution providing for the
 raising and expenditure of $1,200,000
 in three-year advertising campaign.
 Ten years ago such sum for such ], a purpose would have been considered
 extravagant, not to say impracticable.
 Not so now.

Liberty Loan Will
 Not Be Defeated

TIT HE attempts of German agents to
 y defeat the second liberty loan will not succeed. With an effrontery which we have learned to associate with the kaiser's minions, they have even dared to carry on their disreputa- ble work in Washington. However, the activities of these gentry are fully known and will be met in the proper way. We need have no fears that they will make any progress in the United States.
 A long series of outrages committed in this country, both before and after war was declared on Germany, has reached an anti-climax. The campaign to defeat the second liberty loan will prove perhaps the most abortive of all the attempts made to harass the American government and prevent America from exerting her full strength for the allied cause. It shows the desperation of the German gov ernment, which seized upon any for lorn hope to postpone the doom oi autocracy as long as possible.
 Fomenting strikes, blowing up fac tories, spreading a propaganda of sedition among American citizens oi German origin and similar activities have aroused intense indignation but the plot to make the liberty loar . failure is being treated with amuse'

MT. Keterring abandoned until after the war is ended their contemplated manu- fracture of an electric lighting apparatus for farmers, and turned the great plant over to the government as an auxiliary to the aviation plant at Dayton.
 Mir. Deeds. in addition, relinquished all of his business activities and joined the army, and now has the rank of colonel. He Is one of that small but won derfully efficient body of experts and in ventors whose cooperation made pos- sble the invention of the now famous Liberty" battery, an apparatus which is to be of supreme importance in the con struction and operation of airplanes. MT. Keterring remains at the factory supervising the construction of air planes. or at least associating with those experts who are utilizing this factory.
 For some years before the United States declared war upon Germany, No-s ble P. Judah was earning very large income in his practice of the law at Chicago But as soon as we declared war, or at least as speedily as possible after the government began to organ ize its armies, MT. Judah gave up his law practice and great income, enlisted and is now a major in the so-calleo Rainbow division. With that division he will sail for France as soon as the government is prepared to send the di- vision across the Atlantic. Although MT. Judah goes with his division he is speed fly to be followed by Mrs. Judah. who is daughter of John G. Patterson of Day ton. As soon as Mrs Judah arrives in France she will organize an infor- mation bureau or department whose spe- cial service will be of benefit to the Rainbow division. At the time of the great flood at Dayton, O., when thou sands were homeless for awhile, and when there were approximations of se- we're suffering for lack of food, Mrs Judah organized great commissary de- partment, so to speak, utilizing some part of her fathers manufacturing plant and in that way was able to feed for some weeks many thousand persons who otherwise would have actually suffered the bangs of hunger.
 At the time of the Dayton flood this great benefaction and Mrs. Judah's as- sociation with 1t attracted nationwide
 attention. She Is especially fitted by ability and experience to organize and maintain an important bureau of inror- nation which will be at the service of the Rainbow division in France.
