Private Cornett Gives Description of Drive
 in St. Mihiel Salient
Artillery Bombardment and Boys Chase After Roche Especially
 Interesting

Private J. H. Cornett, son of Mir. and Mrs N. F. Cornett of 7622 Second ave- nue, north, has written his parents a very interesting letter regarding the driye in the St. Mihiel salient, in which he participated, after recovering from a wound. He sent his parents souvenir a shoulder strap from a Germany sol- dier's uniform. John Cornett was a for mer Age Herald employe, and his father is now a member of the ad room force.
 The letter follows:
 Dear Dad and Mother: Have just par ticipated in another drive, on the St. Mihiel salient this time
 guess we took him by surprise this time. We surely had him on the run when the objectives were reached, and we had to stop.
 The four hours bombardment which was thrown on the enemy front line and back area, too, was>.ene of the fiercest I have witnessed yet. The flash of our cannon lit up the skies in our rear and the bursting shells lit up the enemy's s front line and No Mans land. They, to- gether with the colored rockets made a huge fireworks display, but it was a bit noisy. I must say; but We smiled when we thought how old Fritz was hav- Ing the time of ms llIe trying to uouSe all those shells.
 We went over the top at o'clock and found their front lines shot up pretty badly, and did not meet much opposi- tion. He fought a little, then made speedy departure. Those that stayed were taken prisoner
 It was pretty sight to see the Tanks going over the field in hot pursuit of the boche who were retreating full speed,
 And the tanks were a great help in some places They looked like immense turtles crawling around splitting death on all sides We took 15skilometers in 50 hours, which is not slow at all.
 It is a great pleasure to rush into a village and find the beer and light wine and rum. That helps a fellow lot in a scrap. believe me.\
 We'll, bye-bye Your son,

E. B. HENDRIX OF
 MONTEVALLO DIES
 IN LOCAL HOTEL
Looks Like Case of Suicide, But the Coroner Withholds Verdict Await
 ing Arrival of Relatives

The body of Ernest Edwin Hendrix, age about 25 years, of Montevalio, awaits instructions from relatives as to intermept at Johns undertaking par Tor, to which place it was removed by order of Assistant Coroner John R. T. Rives last night following an investi- gation into his death, which occurred in his room at the Exchange hotel about :30 o'clock.
 k Hendrix registered at the hotel early in the evening and shortly after registering called for a bell boy Upon arrival in his room the bell boy dis covered he was in critical condition. He died shortly thereafter.
 Assistant Coroner Rives upon notifi- cation made an investigation and found in the room a vial of chloral- -hydrate, two-thirds of the contents having been taken. The drug was purchased from "a Montevallo drug store. purse con- taining over $70 in money; diamond ring, the stone weighing about one-half karat; several visiting cards of various young women; a registration card, and other papers. was found on his person.
 q do not know whether it was sui eide or not said Assistant Coroner Rives, "but it looks that way"
 Hendrix left no note or clue as to the reason for his act, if it was a case of suicide, but the diamond ring and the card of young lady on top of his purse would create the idea that love affair was possibly at the bottom of the case.
 No word had been received from rela- lives at Montevallo last night, but the coroners office expects to hear this morning. 9sa

THEODORE BRENT
 TO CONFER WITH
 LOCAL SHIPPERS
Traffic Manager of Mississippi-War- rior Waterways to Discuss Freight
 Rates on Warrior River

Theodore Brent, traffic manager of the Mississippi Warrior waterways will be in Birmingham today for the purpose of comforting with local shippers rela- tive to freight rates on the Warrior. The conference will take place at the Chamber of Commerce at 10 o'clock this morning, a number of shippers who are interested in the development of traffic on the Warrior having been invited to be present.
 When Director M. J. Sanders and Mr. Brent were here several weeks ago MT. Sanders, in a statemeat to a gathering at the Chamber of Commerce, stressed the importance of return freight after the boats and barges had unloaded at Mobile the coal taken from the Birming- ham district. and it is the intention of the local people to give assurances to MT. Brent that such cargoes will be available.
 Several local merchants have indicated their intention te route shipments of goods from New York and the Atlantic seaboard by way of Mobile and the War rior whenever transportation is inaugu- rated on that stream.
 With this definite assurance as basis Mr. Brent will be able to prepare a schedule of freight tariffs by way of the Warrior, and then it will be up, to the local people to take advantage of the new route and the lower rates thereby made possible.
 Mr. Brent advised President Arthur C.. Crowder of the Chamber of Commerce over the long distance telephone yester- day that he would be here on the Ala bama Great Southern train early this morning,

A FOUR-MINUTE TALK BY H. D.
 CHI EN z


 The one phrase of the English Tommy that has stuck in the consciousness and in the phraseology of the American peo- pit is, "Carry on.'
 Even though the skies may be lower ing-Carry on.
 Even though the attack may be in dan ger of repulse-Carry on.
 Even though the enemy may outnumber three to one-Carry on.
 Even though the artillery support may be poor and there are no airplanes to pro- tect-Carry on.
 That one lesson the doughboys have learned-and have learned perfectly. Their instructors have been successful in planting that thought deep in their minds-because the soil was prepared to receive it.
 And so must the army at home learn it's lesson-1earn to "Carry on" Last spring MT. Hoover asked us to save and conserve and the result was that we were able to feed our armies in camp and on the field and to send an abundant supply of food to our allies. Many Of us, owing to recent changes in food reg ulations, may have gained the Idea that conservation is no longer necessary. But now MT. Hoover says that we must ship nearly six million tons Gons, not pounds) more of foodstuffs to Europe Tn 1919 than we did this year. Our pro gramme of conservation must be that much greater next year than this.
 Americans-we must Garry on.

RED CROSS LINEN
 SHOWER COMMITTEE
 APPEALS TO PUBLIC
Material, Towels, Sheets or Money to
 Purchase Same Rady Needed to Reach Local Quota

Mrs. Oscar R. Hundley, chairman of the Red Cross linen shower committee, makes very earnest appeal to the peo- 1000 sheets and 15,ooO towels to be sent the boys in camps.
 Mrs. ~Hundley stated last night: AS yet we have not reached our quota, but I think that all there need be done is to let this fact be known; that the people may be reminded of the neces- sity of acting promptly in the matter. Men in camps are calling daily for medical aid and we can aid in taking care of the sick and in helping prevent illness in the future by furnishing clean linen and fresh towels.
 Material for the sheets and towels needed can be bought at wholesale prices and funds for this purpose are solicited, Also material is ready to be distributed for making sheets and tow els at NewSoms old stand on Third avenue, and will be allotted to the Red Cross units agreeing to assist in this work. Mrs. Hundley will gladly fur nish other information desirable to any one interested.
 Little Virginia Surgent, daughter of Mrs. Surgent of Birmingham, brought in $3 which she had saved to buy thrift stamps and donated it to the Red Cross linen shower to be used in furnishing the soldiers with clean linen and towels Mrs. Surgent recentlyc volunteered her services at Camp Mcclellan. It seems as though the spirit of patriotism is hereditary, for the little girls action was prompted by a letter from her mother telling of the many-sick soldiers in camp.
 Red Cross unit No. l is doing some excellent work and deserves mention Other than their donation of services in sewing and making sheets khey have made a donation of s25 to thS fund.

BOB" KENNEDY IS FOR THOMPSON FOR
 HUDDLESTON'S JOb
T Am for the Boys Over There He Says "and Will Vote for J. o.
 Thompson

R. K. Kennedy. travelling sales Jefferson county, came out for 5o- seph Q. Thompson for Congress yester- day In a letter to Chairman R. G. Hewitt, of Mir. Phompson's campaign committee. MT Kennedy asserts that MT. Huddleston. the democratic nomi- nee, is no democrat and that he feels free to support a candidate who, he believes, represents the sentiment of the district
 Referring to the stat tsment of Chair man E. l.. Matthews of the Jefferson cou9ty democratic executive committee tharf appeared in The Age-Herald yes- terday, MT. Kenendy said;
 'I have read with interest MT. Mat thews' interview in today's Age Her aid, The head line reads: Matthews holds It Duty of Democrats to Vote Straight His closing clause reads as follows: Certainly no true, loyal citi- zen who has allied himself with the democratic party looking to the pres eryation of our institutions would be guilty of putting himself in such an att titude,
 Now, has George Huddleston done this? His record is clear. If Mir. Mat thews is so careful about the old and true democfatic party, he should have seen to it that MT Huddleston's name did not go on our primary ticket. Our democratic committee knew then and they know now that George Huddle- ston is not 9 democrat at heart. Will we as democrats stand by Woodrow Wilson or George Huddleston? Let MT. Matthews remember what hap pened in 1896 when Huddleston did not support Bryan, the democratic nomi- nee.
 T am for the boys over there and shall vote for MT. Thompson. You can use this letter in any way you see fit, Respectfully, R. K. KENNEDY
