STRIKING POSTERS
 | HERALD LIBERTY
 LOAN CAMP PA|GN
Detachment of the Famous Foreign eLgion of France Will Visit Birmingham
 During Big Drive

Jefferson county put on it's fourth Lib- erty Loan dress yesterday Lots of color in the garment, but noth- ing coquettish about it. Rather grim and austere, for all It's hues, one would say, reminder that we are at war and what war means. This is another way of saying that fourth Liberty Loan posters were put up all over the county and all over the city yesterday.
 The work in the country districts was done by travelling salesmen, representing the jobbing houses of Birmingham.
 The city was covered by the Boy Scouts after school hours. The salesmen and the boys both did their work well. This stunt, which was one of no small proportion, was put over under the super- vision of Gen phares Coleman, Jr., Of the supply department of the Jefferson county committee and the allied armies and his able officers.
 The posters are the creations of such artists of national and international fame as Howard Chandler Christy Joseph Par nell, Ellsworth Young. J. Allen St. John, Walter Whitehead, and others, who gave their time and talent without charge to their country.
 1He Hun was lHc ldNOiltS SthbS "'NfA most of these artists. and they have Vied with each other in making him as repul- sive as possible.
 This is not a critical essay on art It is a plain news item. bringing out the fact that everybody in Jefferson county now knows, through these posters, that the fourth Liberty Loan is close at hand
 Speaking of the picturesque and the he roic, Birmingham will have as guests all day october 3, 60 officers and men of the famous foreign legion of France, fully equipped.
 Chairman Murray Brown was officially advised by wire from Washington to that effect yesterday morning.
 Under the old monarchy the first re- public, the two empires, and the lost and lasting republic, the foreign legion of France has been composed of the most fearless and dashing soldiers, volunteers from all nations and all climes The con tingent which will visit Birmingham at the date named is fully up to the tradl- tions of the corps. in personnel and in achievement. it is stated.

HANDLING CROWDS
MARVEL OF CIRCUS
PERFE ORGANIZATION
PERMITS THE THRONGS
TO GATHER WITHOUT
CONFUSION.

Budding efficiency experts will do
well to watch the construction and
taking down OF the Barnum 4 Ba'-
lev circus when it comes to Ard
more, Wednesday, October %.
Perfect organization, clock-likc
system. an ample number of en-
ployees and personal attention TO
every detail pertaining to the COM
fort and welfare of its patrons. These
are the qualities vital to the sue
cess OF a great circus enterprise
which is one Of the business marvels
OF the present century.
One OF the many maryeIs of the
Barnum & Bailey circus is the man
ner in which the enormous crowds
are handled. Without some highly
perfected system the throngS that
visit the show twice daily would
create discomfort.
Under the Barnum & Bailey syS-
TEN. confusion. either before or al
ter the performance, is impossible.
Instead OF one or two entrances to
the great canvas amphitheater, there
are six gates. each arranged in sucn
a way that visitors enter in SIX SIN
Gle files. At the main entrance, and
Immediately inside the menagerle
pavilion, which forms huge vesti-
bule to the big show. uniformed at
tendants are stationed to direct the
crowds and to keep visitors moving
in one direction. After the perform
ance additional exits are opened, so
that the great tents can be emptied
in remarkably short time.
The arrangements Tor getting the
public to the city where the show
is exhibiting and for transporting
the crowds to the circus grounds are
also complete in every way. Inc
work of arranging special eXcrsions
on the various railroads and trolley
lines requires the services OF an eX-
perienced excursion agent and
large staff OF assistants. Arrange
ments are also entered into with the
city traction lines so that car service
is concentrated on the lines nearest
to the circus grounds, thus insuring
the transportation OF the public i'll
the shortest possible time, both be-
fore and after the performances.
OF late, automobile traffic to the
circus has become so heavy that it is
always necessary to reserve large
space of ground for the parking OF
cars during the performance.

Heal Skin Diseases

1t is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, b!otches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little Zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
S1OO for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It clcanees and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating. dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most, delicate skin. 1t is not greasy. IS
easily applied and costs little. Get 1t

SO far. the German line from st.
Quentin south to the Ailette and
thence eastward to Berry-Au-Bac, is
standing quite firmly; and evidently
this part OF the enemy position Is
being used as a pivot as his armies
to the north and east swing back to
new positions. Italian forces, how

of progress made there would appear
to Justify the belief that the hinge

WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press.

{ By ] he Associated Irtes.)
Outfought by the French and
Americans, the Germans are retreat
ing on wide front in the Cham
pagne sector between Rheims and
the Argonne. The enemy has been
caught between General Berthelot 5
army on the west and German Gou-
raud's forces on the east aud Is re-
firing northward toward the Re
tournc river.
1t may be possible for him TO
stand back of that streak, but it
seems improbable that there will be
much OF halt in the retreat until
the Germans reach the Aisne.
General Bethelot's advance in the
Rheims region has gravely menaced
the enemy forces south OF the Re
tourne and. although the retrograde
movement Is being covered by rear
guards, well supplied with machine
guns, it appears to be going on rap
idlv. The French seem to have
reached the Suippe over a wide
front.
American forces have been bat
Ting brilliantly with Gourauds ar
nv. and have aided materially in
eNpelling the enemy from the Cham
pagnc sector. Further east. the
Americans fighting between the
Argonne forest and the Meusc river
are slowly driving the Germans
from the region of the kriemhilde
line and regathering their forces for
an assault on that powerful line.
Huns In Flight.
From the region of Lille south
ward to Cambria the German retreat
begun when Lens and Armentieres
were abandoned last week. is contin-
uing with what appears to be preci-
pitation. There is every reason 10
believe that the city OF Lille will be
evacuated by the enemy within
few days, and then this retirement
will extend far down the front TO
the St. Quentin sector. where both
the French and British are reported

POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS.

4 Notwithstanding the office OF the
speaker OF the house OF representa-
livestiyes carries with it great poll
tical prestige and influence and IS
generally regarded as stepping
stone t. the presidency, up to the
present time only one speaker has
been elected president. James n.
Polk OF Tennessee. Henry Clay
three times elected speaker, was a
lifelong aspirant for the presidency,
but did not attain it, ames G.
Blaine speaker from 1869 to 1875,
was nominated and defeated tor
president in 1884. Champ Clark,
speaker through six congresses, led
all candidates for the presidential
nomination in the Baltimore Demo
cratic national convention OF l9l2
ON tWenty-nine ballots, receiving a
clear majority OF nine, but was lin
ally defeated by Woodrow Wilson.
For some ting reports have been
current that Chief Justice White
contemplated retiring from the su-
prcme bench at an early day, ani
the politicians have been specializing
as TO his successor. However, these
reports have been found to be ab'o-
luteN withoupt foundation. The
venerable Justice is in splendid ply
steal and mental condition and has
not the remotest intention at this
time OF retiring.
New Mexico Republicans have re
nominated United States Senator Al
bert b. Fall, he having finally con-
sented to make another race for
election. New Mexico is one of the /
states where the Democrats expect
ed to gain a senator and no Repub- +.
lcan except Senator Fall probably !
could carry it.
Unprejudiced observers OF politi-
cal affairs attach little Importance /
to Republican expectations OF de
feating the Democratic candidates .
for senator in Missouri, Kentucky
Colorado and Montana. but do eX-
pect that Republican nominees will .
win in New Hampshire Illinois and .
Rhode Island.

CHAPTER III.
An Explanation Demanded.

Hazel's pride came to her rescue be-
for she was halfway home. Instinc-
lively she had turned to that refuge,
where she could lock herself in her
own room and cry her protest against
it all. But she had done no wrong,
nothing of which to be ashamed, and
when the first shock of the news ar
ticle wore off, she threw up her head
and refused to consider what the world
at large might think. So she went
back to the Office at one o'clock and
took up her work. Long before eve
ming she sensed that others had read
the Gazette. Not that anyone men,
toned it. but sundry curious glances
made her painfully aware of the fact.
She had just reached the first land
ing of her boarding house when she
heard the telephone bell. and a second
or two later the landlady called.
"Oh, Miss Weirl Telephone"
Barrow's voice hailed her over the
line.
"Tll be out by seven," said he. "We
had better take a walk We can't tall
in the parlOr; there'll probably be 8
lot of old tabbies there out of sheer
curiosity"
"All right" Hazel agreed, and hung
up.
She dressed herself. UnconsciousIy
the truly feminine asserted its domi
nance-the woman anxious to please
and propitiate her lover. She put OF
a dainty summer dress, rearranged he
hair, powdered away all trace of tn,
tears shat insisted on coming as sool
as she reached the sanctuary of he
own room. And then she watched TO
Jack from window that commando,
the street.
Barrow appeared at last. She wen
down to meet him before he rang tn
bell. Just behind him came a tai
man in 81 gray suit. This indiyidua
turned in at the gate, bestowlng no
upon Barrow and a keen glance at he
as he passed.
That's Grinell, from the Times,
Barrow muttered sourly. Come on
let's get away from here. l suppos
he's after you for an interview"
Hazel turned in beside him silentI,

She had done nothing to warrant su.
picion from him. But she loved hin
and she hoped she could convince hi,
that it was no more than passing III
pleasantness, for which she was NJ
wise to blame.

they had traversed the first bloc
