It is expected that the remaining $S50 necessary to make the s2O00 will be raised within a few days To date $115o has been subscribed.
 Mrs. Joseph McLester, chairman ot the woman's committee, is very opti- mistic over the response to the call upon Birmingham citizens for funds with which to equip the boys for the Washington trip, and feels sure that no trouble will be encountered in rais- ing the remainder of the amount nec- essary.
 "So sure were we in fact, that we have ordered the instruments and they will be here at an early date" said Mrs. McLester.
 Cooperating with others in this movement for Birmingham civic pride and the proper appreciation of the services the boys band has rendered to Birmingham at various times, Love- man, Joseph & Loeb have offered to supply all the uniforms for the boys at actual makers cost, charging no profit for measuring, buying and de- livering the uniforms.

that is why there was an emotion shown such as is rare in England. Fol Waterloo, to so many of us, is liv- ing place of mystery and pain, anc of the most joyful home -comings. But we have had tohide our emtions, anc there have been no bands and no great 1 cheers to help our soldiers. From al , the stations whence men have set of to the wars it has been in silence anc in darkness.
 But yesterday it was splendidly diff. ferent. The bands were there, making great music with American national people. Before the soldiers entrainec women from the station canteen show cred cigarettes on them, and hurried along with trays of fruit.
 Although no one was allowed on the departure platform, hundreds of peo- pie bought penny tickets which gave them admission to the platform on the othe rside of the train, and then be- gan the most charming friendliness between the soldiers and civilians.
 Leaving Their Cards.
 It was not at all in order. of course but people darted on to the railway line for the remembered joy of shak- ing hands with an American soldier, and the men themselves clambered down, and, like schoolboys, held out their hands, and distributed visiting cards. They read quaintly to English eyes-"Corporal Geo. R. Barnske, Company D., U. s. A., with Expedi- tionary Forces, in care of Adjutant- General" This is the incription on one card, and there was a little flag in the corner.
 How everyone shouted for one of these cards Small boys were dis patched on to the line and told to bring some back, and there was fran tic cheering when themen themselves clambered down and cried: Write to us, won't you-and we'll answer sure."
 So hundred of these military visit ing cards were pocketed, and some of the friendships begun so curiously on a railway line will perhaps develop as the days pass by.
 Before one of the trains steamed away the massed bands played the Ma tional Anthem. Not a train moved from the station. All was very, very quiet. Then the Americans them selves raised three tremendous cheers for England, and the crowds in the station responded, and so the train went out, and so the men went on to their business of making war.
 Thank you, America. Your men, so fine, so friendly, so soldierly-they have given us the encouragement we all of us needed, and in the detach- ments you have sent over you have given us not only allies in the mili- tary sense, but friends as dear to us as our own brothers. Together we shall see it through

Only One Survivor From Crew Of

LONDON, Feb. 6.--The Admiralty an
nounces there is only one survivor Of the
crew OF the Lars kruse. a Belgian re-
lief ship. No others are known TO have
been saved The steamer was sunk by
torpedo or mine near the Belgian coast
yesterday The snip touched Mt Las
Palmas on January 20, and in the ordi-
nary course would have made some Brit
ish port before arriving at Rotterdam,
where she was due about February 10.
The Lars Kruse carried the flag of the
Belgian Relief Commission and was
marked as arranged by the commission
with the German Government. 1t had
not received safe conduct from Ger
many, as such passports had been re-
fused relief ships by Berlin.
Three months ago Germany agreed to
give the commissions ships from the
Argentine the same form of German
consular safe conduct as Is provided for
these steamers leaving American ports
but the necessary arrangements have not
been completed; hence the failure Of the
Lars Kruse TO carry such a document
However. the ship was marked plainly
according to the German instructions
and her manifest showed that her entire
cargo was consigned to the relief COM
mission.
The Admiralty announced also to-day
that the crew OF the British steamer
