RED GROSS WORK-By Frank Willis Barnett

Cross week, during which the people of the United States will be called upon to give generously and in a spirit of pa triotic sacrifice for the support and main- tenance of this work of national need
 WOODROW WILSON"
 The action of President Wilson in ap- pointing the Red Cross war council, with MT. Henry P. Davison of J. P. Morgan & Go. at it's head. sets in motion the tremendous campaign for popular sub- scriptions to a fund which the Red Cross will use for supplying hospitals at the front, and also for carrying on relief work at home and in Europe on scale perhaps greater than the world has ever seen
 In an interview given the same day, MT Dawson pledged the backing of Morgan & Co. to the undertaking and announced that he himself had temporarily given up all other business to devote his whole energy to the Red Cross financial com. mission
 To emphasize the importance of this work from the public's standpoint President Wilson gave to the press g copy of letters addressed by him to MT Davson. The letters read as follows My Dear MT. Davison:
 After consultation with my active as sociates in the American Red Cross. ii has been thought wise to create a Rec Cross war council of seven members in cluding the chairman and the vice chair man of the executive committee. I have today created the council. This letter is to ask you to. accept the chairman ship, a patriotic service which I trust il will be possible for you to perform. The close cooperation between ths American National Red Cross and the military branch of the government has already suggested new avenues of help

GOOD IDEA.

It opens in Birmingham today with a breakfast at the Tutwiler.
 It opens in prayer and the workers will come together for sacrifcial work and sacrificial giving.
 Every minister in the city is urged to either preach on the Red Cross at the morning or evening service or make a statement in regard to it before the ser mon.
 The most stupendous and appealing call in the history of the world to aid suffer- ing humanity confronts our Red Cross. Millions of men who have been fighting for liberty lie dead or wounded; millions of women and children are homeless ana helpless. hundreds of towns and villages have been destroyed disease and distress are rampant.
 The need is so great that the following proclamation has been issued by the President:
 / "Ina smuch as our thoughts as nation are now turned in united purpose towards the performance to the utmost of the services and duties which we have as- stunned in the cause of justice and liberty
 "Inasmuch as but small proportion of our people can have the opportunity te serve upon the actual field of battle, pu1 all men, women and children alike may serve and serve effectively by making il possible to care properly for those who do serve under arms at home and abroad
 And inasmuch as the American Red Cross is the official recognized agency for voluntary effort in behalf of the. armed forces of the nation and for the admins tration of relief
 Now, therefore, by virtue of my au- thority as President of the United States and president of the American Red Cross IT, Woodrow Wilson, do hereby proclaim the week ending June 25, 1917, as Ret

 Private business is shunted on side track and the government trains have the right of way. A friend of mine wanted to call up New York and had to wait three hours before he could even put in a call.

 St. Paul was metaphysician and so were many of the early fathers of the Christian church; but they did not always express themselves in technical terms.
 Built up on the foundation of metaphysics comes psychology; the psychology of everything, animate and inanimate Psychology, as Sir William Hamilton, Nathaniel Flaw thorne and George Eliot knew it and as William James of later time ex- pounded it, was not so "deep" as to be past understanding.

Man Power Needed

Colonel Crenshaw certainly made
 some telling points in his address be-
 fore the Jefferson Rifle club Friday
 afternoon" said Henry F. Beaumont.
 "The gist of his remarks was that
 all America, including Young Amer ica, had been so busy buying liberty
 bonds, furnishing the Red Cross with the proper funds and equipment, urg ing the food preparedness propaganda
 and other similar vital matters, it had forgotten that funds, nurses, food and
 munitions were useless without man power Man power Colonel Crenshaw is quoted as saying, 1s the one thing in which Alabama has been backward and now the greatest service which can be rendered to this country Is for the young men of draft age to come forward and volunteer. If the young men won't come forward, then the older heads ought to push them forward, for they are now needed worse than anything else."

cause in Pittsburg, Gary, Chicago and Cleveland every mill is work ing to it's full capacity and con- suming every ton of iron ore avail able.
 Birmingham must furnish the additional amount needed by the American government.
 x * *
 The Steel corporation has been appealed to by the administration at Washington and it is respond- ing with its full ability.
 The Steel corporation, and it's subsidiary company, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company porous as any other steel and iron manufacturing concerns in the world. These companies have made millions and millions of dollars within the past two years. They have an abundance of money how much they shall spend in Bir- mingham, but how quickly plants can be erected to furnish the gov wr-aAE lao 1nfa I'll have to successfully prosecute and terminate this war.
 Money will be more plentiful in this district than anyone here has ever dreamed of.
 Engineers, draftsmen, superin- tendents, skilled Iaborers and con- structors will be rushed here from everywhere. They will be draft ed, if necessary, from men who have enlisted in the army. The government must have material and it must have it quickly, and Birmingham is depended upon to do its full share regardless of what expenditure might be necessary to produce the material here.
 X * *
 Again, the government in Wash ington is appreciative of what this iron and coal district can do for our country in this great emer- gency. The government is indeed so appreciative that have not the least doubt but that large army camp will be located here. Other districts were n bit ahead of us In their bids. This was due to the fact that our local committee struck obstacle after obstacle in getting land owners to do their proper and patriotic duty. There were men here who placed few dollars in gold above their pa triotism. And there were men here who wanted the cold cash from their government instead of con- tributing to it's aid in the great est crisis fin our existence.
 But these men did not appreciate

 was amazed upon my return from New York and Washington Friday evening to learn that some people hereabOuts have beIittIed the big act of the Steel corpora tiOn in announcing new plants to be builded here.
 I feel very much like indorsing the words of well-known Bir- minghnm banker, who, in response to one of the kickers, said:
 "There are plenty of trains out of Birmingham and would be glad to pay the fare of those of your type if you will promise not to return.,
 In other words, there are still a

 But enough of this type.
 
 The action of the finance com mittcc of the Steel corporation which visited Birmingham a week ago, means more for this district than anything which has happened in the last decade. It means not only an eleven million dollar ex- penditure in Fairfield for a plant to make ships plates and other ar- ticles needed by the government in it means the expenditure of possi- bly three times this amount just ms fast as money can be expended in building plants to furnish ma- teriaI for the government to make this war a successful one,
 The people of Birmingham don't appreciate the enormity or the seriousness of this world war which we have entered. Nobody ex- poets it to end in one or two years. Billions of dollars worth of material will be needed and the Birmingham District, having the available ore and coal supply, is needed and needed badly.
 It Is not now a matter of cost of material but of how quickly can it be furnished. Plants must be bui1dcd in the Birmingham Dis trict with rapidity never before known. Millions upon millions of dollars of material made from iron and steel are needed quickly, not only by this government, but by England, France, Italy and Rus- sia.

Red Cross Weeks s
 Stirrimg Appeal


 TNHE American Red Cross society U has a glorious record of phil anthropic achievement, but the work just ahead of it will surpass in it's mighty scope anything that it has yet undertaken. It will accompany the United States troops to Europe and be on the bloody fields of war to nurse the wounded and administer to the dying.
 A campaign will be started in this country tomorrow to raise SloO,- 0O,OOO for the Red Cross. While tens of thousands of medical men offer their services free of charge, and thousands of laymen are ever ready to Serve suffering humanity for charity's sake, large sum of money is required to carry on the work; and could any work be more noble? One hundred million dollars will be none too much; and a prosperous country like this should respond promptly to the call.
 President Wilson is the president of the American Red Cross, former President William H. Taft is com mittee chairman and among the other active members of the administrative organization are Maj. Gen. w. C.. Gorgas, surgeon general of the army, and number of navy officers of high rank. Henry P. Davison of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Go. will have charge of the work of distributing the funds and will devote probably his whole time during the duration of the war to this humane and all-im- portant cause. The money will be raised by volunteers and every dol lar contributed will be applied to the relief of the sufferers from the ene- mics shot and shell.
 Birmingham has been asked to con- tribute $15O,OOO to the $100,000, ,O00 fund. It will probably do better than that. It usually gives fine account of itself when charity funds are to be raised. The large givers will be nu- merous, but it is hoped especially that the small givers will be well to the front. The more general the interest in this war the greater will our American soldiers be heartened for their patriotic and heroic enterprise. Everybody should give something, be it ever so little.
