ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE ENGAGES
 FIFE LID IN U R $ B
Mrs. E. Fl. Rawlins of New Orleans Indorsed by Red Cross, Comes
 Here as Trained Nurse

Mrs. E. Fl. Rawlins of New Orleans, a trained nurse indorsed by the Red Cross authorities, has been secured as statewide public health nurse by the Alabama Anti-Tuberculosis league, be- ginning August 1.
 Mrs. Rawlins is now studying the situation at points where the most progress against tuberculosis has been achieved and will proceed in due course to other points, county by county, as promised by the league in it's propa- ganda of last December and January pr. George Eaves, secretary of the Ala bama AntiTuberculosis league, says that county associations desiring to get the services of this nurse should apply promptly to the secretary of the league. She will in every case work in the closest cooperation with the county health officer and local phy. sicians, whose sympathetic assistance is earnestly requested. Mrs. Rawlins will begin with Morgan county, where the Rev. H. L. Turner is secretary of the county association. known as the Morgan County Anti-Tuberculosis movement. Arrangements have been initiated for Madison county to come next in order.
 There are two great ideals before the league in this work" says pr. Eaves, namely, first the stirring of the people in every county to demand an all-time health officer. and, second, the continuation of county nursing by the employment of a successor to the in- itial work done by Mrs. Rawlins. The programme involves such cooperation also with the Red Cross forces in every county as will secure the fullest pos- sible advantages to soldiers discharged on account of tuberculosis and their families In the nature of things, this is pioneer service, and must be re- garded as a stimulation of public in- terest in this most needy field of health endeavor~

BEAUMONT STATES AGE-HERALD STORY
 WAS CORRECT
Charges Were Preferred gainst HuddlestOn and He Was Man Who Pre-
 ferred Them

Since the veracity of The Age-Her- ald is questioned in regard to the ac- tion of the United Spanish War Vet erans' camp on Monday night. and the authenticity of it's information doubt ed, let me state I assume full authori- ty for the facts as outlined herewith. inasmuch as I uttered the charges against George Huddleston and am prepared to press them,' said Henry F. Beaumont.
 'oThe facts are these: At a regular meeting of Birmingham camp No. 1, United Spanish War Veterans, the con- stitution and bylaws of which prohibit politics being entered into or touched upon in any way, an effort was made to have the camp meet George Hud- dleston on his return to the city, though this thought was promptly dis missed.
 Since the subject had been intro duced by others, I took the floor and called attention to the fact that apart from politics. the principal charge against Huddleston was that he was disloyal I immediately cited Huddles- toms utterances, his action against the administration, his attitude towards T. ment to the effect that the uniforms worn by the Chamber of Commerce civilian training class should be taken away from them.
 "Objection was made by minority to this, but when I stated, distinctly and enthusiastically. that l was prefer ring charges against Huddleston, the commander ruled that I was in order, thus authorizing me to continue until my full charges had been uttered
 q was informed by the commander that I should file the charges in writ ing, which I had prepared to do. The form in which they were prepared was not in keeping with the form pre- scribed by the regulations. I stated I was ready to prepare them right then as prescribed by the regulations.
 "TKe commander. stating I was with in my constitutional rights, suggested that wait until the proper forms could be supplied from his office. to which agreed, since the hour was very late and even those standing with me i'll the matter were desirous of adjourning. In conclusion, let me aver further these charges are being drawn in proper form as required by the law of the camp. and will be prosecuted.
 '-The article under which these charges are preferred is article four. page 203, rule and regulations of the United Spanish War veterans, which reads:
 " Any officer or comrade who shall be guilty of disloyalty to the United States of America shall. upon convic- ton thereof by court-martial. be dis honcrably discharged.'

 Posters Now Ready
Statement June 20, 1918 RESOURCES

Just place this poster on your wind- shield, and the soldier will know that you are willing to take him as far as you go, without the least inconvenience on your part. The soldier asks only to drive him in the direction you are going.
 For example, suppose you are going south on Twentieth street as far as Avenue F, and . soldier salutes you. Stop your car, pick him up, carry him to Avenue F. and let him off. Another sssalute and ride" motorist will then have an opportunity to give further "lift" towards his destination. 1t will not be inconvenient for you to render this lift.

TRAVELLING MEN ID OCOMPLETE PLANS
 FOR W. s. s. DRIVE
Meeting Called Today at the Chamber of Commerce to Plan Next Weeks
 Campaign

Director Charles Abrams of district No. 1 of the Alabama Travelling Mems War Savings committee has called a meeting of travelling men in Birming ham for II o'clock this morning at the Chamber of Commerce, at which time final arrangements for the campaign beginning next Monday will be made and committees appointed
 The travelling men of Alabama, un- der the chairmanship of Louis J. Adler Of Mobile, have perfected a state organ fzation and 16 district organizations which will give all of next week to pushing the sales of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. The travelling men are especially fitted to carry on this cam paign and to reach communities and people that no other class of men can reach.
 Next Tuesday, primary election day, a special drive will be made, one or more travelling men and two women being stationed at every voting place in the state, to make personal appeal to every voter as he comes to the polls.
 In communication received yester- day from ". T. DuBose, director of travelling mems activities referring to the Alabama organization, said; "vari- ous agencies and things are being given credit for winning this war. Perhaps no one factor will enjoy this high hon. or, but 1t is certain the travelling men will prove one of the most helpful aids to the administration. With his initia- tive powers. resourcefulness. energy, in- telligence and general information the man on the road with the sample case, now organized for service, is forging right to the front as a mighty power for supplying Uncle Sam with the means of driving the Huns back against the wall and then giving them just what they deserve. Evidence of this is found in innumerable instances, striking case is that of the Alabama plan to put War Savings Stamps over in that state"

Heated Contest Is
 Drawing to Close

Gadsden. August s.-(SpeciaL)-One Of the most feated congressional contests in the Seventh district, known as the bloody Seventh" because of it's warm politics. is drawing to a close. with both candidates working feverishly to the end. Congressman Burnett is spending the closing oays in his home county. He will speak tonight and tomorrow afternoon at the courthouse in Gadsden. Senator John A. Lusk, his opponent, spoke last night at At.alIa. and went to Dekalb county to sneak today and tomorrow. grano patriotic rally in MT. Lusk's interest will be held at the Tabernacle tomorrow morning in Gadsden when Congressman J. Thoraas Heflin will be the speaker. Both candidates have been bitter in their attacks against each other. Many oi0- line democrats, it is claimed by the I4usx advocates, have deserted Mr. Burnett for patriotic reasons and because of his failure to support the administration.

SOME WERE DISAPPOINTED

In the audience which greeted MT. Hud- dleston were men who were determined to support him provided he could dis prove his own language, his own posi- tions-or could satisfactorily explain what
 friends have conceded to be mis- takes
 These men, following the speech, were disappointed. Some of them declared thar they could not support the man. Others, while not openly expressing op- position, admitted that Huddleston had overlooked an opportunity to clear his skirts-and expressed hope that in some subsequent speech he would disprove the charge that with his country in a state of war, he had stolidly and consistently refused to support the sole remaining method of raising an army to prosecute Ito defend-that war.
 The Patriotic League of Jefferson coun- ty, asking that the patriotic people of this district elect a man who will stand with and by the government at war, was eated with the Huddleston failure the night before.

THINGS LEFT UNSAID

The speech he delivered was significant on account of the things he did not say. When. near the conclusion. his admirers despaired in their belief that he would disprove the evidence of his own lan- guage, they hoped agaisnt hope that he would relate his achievements-that he would tell them, not in generalities, but in particulars. of what he had done for the people of this district, for labor, for any citizens other than those whose only request had been for the discharge of boys from the service of their country.
 But he told of nothing that he had done, of nothing of d concrete character, that he had attempted to do.
 He declared his opponents fools and liars. It was against profiteers that he turned his vitriolic speech. against class which is obnoxious to everyone. It was not again the Kaiser, kalsersm, the Will helmstrasse; it was not against Prague, in which Prussian city he spent his vacations; it was not against the Teu- tonic tongue which he is said to have mastered to thorough degree. It was not against the l. w. w. organization, the socialism of Karl Marx, of which he is said to be a devotee, or the socialism Of Never London, with whom, in oppo- sition to the Presidents desire to send troops to the Mexican border, he stood alone
