Much interest is being shown in the coming meeting at the armory in the city hall Thursday night at o'clock when class of Birmingham men who are drafted will be organized for preliminary training prior to going into the service. G. Lewis Bafles and Virgil V. Evans have consented to train the class. The movement for the organization of such class followed closely on the heels Of the announcement from Washington that men with proper qualifications would be given examinations after they are draft ed into the service for commissions of the lower grades.
 MT. Bailes and MT. Evans are already training a class of more than half hun dred men for the second officers training camp. In a statement they outlined their plans for the coming class as follows
 '',rhe men from the present class, all of whom have received more than five weeks intensive training, will at the beginning act as oorporals and sergeants of the new class.

CAPTAIN IN DEMAND

About 30 letters have been re- ccived by Captain Hutchinson from girls from all parts of Alabama wanting to correspond with n sol- dier while he is away in France and keep him cheered up. The captain has had n list of these girls made with their addresses and gives 1t to all the soldiers that want 1t when they leave for their training camp. Nearly all the soldiers are enthusiastic over the plan and declare they are going to write to the girls. Many more are needed yet, as men leave at the rate of about 12 day.
 One miss that wrote insinuated that while she would like to write to soldier, she would also like to get in touch with the captain himself. The captain will stay in Birmingham and thnt is q great advantage he has over the boys that are going to France, but he assures all the maidens who ad- mire him so much that he has not the time to correspond with them and that they must content them selves with privates in France.

EYE ON ALABAMA
Hope Is Felt That New Oil Supply
 Will Become Available

That the government at Washington Is at the present time looking to Alab anna as probable source of oil supply to meet the demand for oil for power purposes, is the belief of r. P. Jackson, vice pres Ident of the Gulf Producing company, who has recently returned to Birming- ham from trip to Washington and New York
 Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee are practically the only remaining states Fwhose oil resources have not been devel-
 oped," said MT. Jackson. Every oil man in the country has had his eyes on this section of the country for many years,
 all calculating on how big a part Alabama will record in the oil production of the United States The government Is espe-
 cially anxious at this time that the oil production be increased with all haste and as a consequence the United States geological survey has been instructed to
 lend every assistance In the opening of
 new fields
 The Gulf Producing company Is drilling | two deep wells in the northwestern sec
 ton of the state. both of which are now reaching an interesting depth.

AVIATORS, BAKERS AND COOKS NEEDED
 FOR REGULAR ARMY

The navy office Is receiving far more applications for naval service than can be accepted, but not nearly enough for the machnists and aviation corps. Only five men from Birmingham can be ac- cepted each week for the regular navy, but IS applications were received yester- day. The first five of these will be sent on. Plans are being made for making some kind of a waiting list, but nothing definite mas yet been worked out. Men for the machinists corps are still wanted badly, and there is still room for three men in the aviation corps. The only qualification for these positions that an applicant must have is q good general knowledge of gasoline engines.
 Continuing the increased number of men accepted and sent off, the army shipped 25 men yesterday to Fort Ogle- thorpe A good number of these men were without the draft age also There Is an especial need for bakers. or men wanting to learn the trade of bakers. An applicant does not have to have any knowledge of baking; all he has to do being to apply, and the government will teach him.
 If you are over 25. have at least high school education and are making $1500 a year or more then Lieutenant Wallis says the place for you is the officers training camp Applications are still being received from men with these qualifications. and will continue to be received until the first of next month. Lieutenant Wallis office is on the eighth floor of the Woodward building.

MEN AT MARGARET
 ON THE DEFENSIVE
DeBardeleben Makes Statement Re- Garding Labor Difficulties Re-
 ported at His Mines

Charles F. DeBardeleben, vice president O. the Alabama Fuel and Iron company, yesterday issued the following state ment regarding the situation at the Mar garet mines of his company:
 "In regard to the statement of labor difficulties, intimidation, walkout, etc. at Margaret mines. published in city pa pers, I wish to state that the manage ment of those mines is entirely satisfied with the present status of affairs at Margaret.
 "The alleged 'walkout' consisted or the departure of few men. some by re- quest and some of their own volition' but the number of miners there at work today is in excess of the number we were employing two weeks ago, and new men are coming in every day; coming because they know that they will be protected against paid agitators.
 If 1t be true that Organizer Brown pickets and advisers found an armed force of men awaiting their coming to Margaret, such armed force was on the defensive. and was there to protect the miners against threats of those who would. by agitation and intimidation force them to abandon their daily work That the interest and purpose manifested by the alleged force of peace preservers had salutary effect Is evident, and the managcments of Margaret and all other mines of our company pledge assurance 10 our working miners that they shall be protected at all hazards in the dis charge of their peaceful duties to them selves and to their families.
 "The truth of the matter Is that the statement to Organizer Brown that there were 100 armed men awaiting the com ing of the agitators at Sanie is abso- lutely false. If the state and county authorities had provided force of depu- ties to preserve order, they were fully Justified in such action, by reason o1 alleged threats of coercion and intimi- dation."
