man of the fuel committee, has asked me to request you to close down the municipal plant at North Birmingham during the period of the war.
 This is done strictly as war meas ure.
 From a survey recently made of the coal conditions, it has been ascertained that it is imperative that every ton of coal that is possible must be saved. Dras- tic measures will have to be resorted to to conserve fuel, so that the different industries engaged in making war mate rial car continue in operation.
 The closing down of the North Bir- mingham plant will mean the saving of several thousand tons of coal year, and I hope you will cooperate with us and help this much toward relieving the situation. Yours very truly,

Perhaps not in the history of Bir- mingham has there been another such enthusiastic audience as the one as- sembled in the Jefferson theatre last night to hear Lieutenants Choyce and Milsom of the English and Canadian armies, respectively And no other au- dience has ever been more thrilled or better entertained than this one, as 1t drank in the graphic words of the two young soldiers portraying the valor, the sacrifices, the suffering, the joys and the sorrows of and the bulldog te- nacity of the soldiers while they fought in France and Flanders for the safety of the world.
 As they told of the trench life. of the fighting, of the gassng, the charg- ing and the retreats, the ringing shouts of victory, the dejected countenances of the defeated, one could imagine he was living and doing the things he was hearing about. Their message to Bir- mingham and the Unied States, coming from the front lines in France, is stick it out until the war is ended.
