BulIard Brothers Held for Military Authorities at
 County Jail

Rex Bullard and Sam Bullard, alleged deserters from the United States army were arrested yesterday by special agents of the department of justice and members of the American Protective league in the swamps of Coosa county. The former was a member of Company D, 167th 1nfan- try. Rainbow division, and is alleged to have deserted from Camp Mills on Sep tember 21 1917, while the latter was drafted by the Bessemer exemption board and sent to Camp Pike, Arkansas, from which place he is alleged to have de- serted on October f. 1s17
 Since that time these men have been in hiding and 1t is stated that the parents of the boys moved just four days ago to a house near the men in Coosa county. The officers, learning that the men were in hiding there surrounded the house about o'clock yesterday morning and caught both, who were asleep. They were brought to Birmingham and placed in the county jail where they are being held pending the arrival of military police to take them back to camp where they will be turned over to the military au- thorities The Bullard boys are said to have lived in Bessemer for a number of years, where they are well known.

POPULAR FLYER IS
 VISITING AT HOME Lieut.. Fisher Tynes Has Been Filling Important
 Command in Texas

Lieut.. Fisher Tynes and Mrs. Tynes have been spending few days at home but will depart soon. Lieut. Tynes is son of MT. and Mrs. W. D. Tynes and he has made quite a reputation in the aviation corps with which he is con nected.
 Up to the time he received his over seas orders Lieut.. Tynes was in com mand of accuracy and acrobatic stages of flying at Carruthers Field at Fort Worth, Tex. He is understood to have been very much disappointed that he has not been sent overseas before now, but his friends state that his retention here was because of the great record he has made as an instructor in the es- pecially difficult features of flying.
 There is probably no better known or more popular young man in town than Lieutenant Tynes.

Brilliant EngLishWon1an
 Brings Message Of Cheer
We Are All Women Now in One Great Crusade and There Is No Nationality" Says Miss Beatrice
 Picton- Tubervilie

Where did we get all the women re- quired for work?' Miss Turberville con- tinued lis the question often asked. In other wars we have been told that the burden fell upon the men who went out to fight while the women stayed at home and wept and prayed. Yes, the women have wept and prayed during the war, too, but they've done a mans work also Where did we get the vast mum bers of women now employed in the mu- nitions factories? First from the ranks of the dressmakers; the women in Eng land no longer dress themselves; we simply clothe ourselves; then came the milliners, the confectioners-no sugar, and if there was none, would eat the things made from it; all the luxuries trades were dispensed with and the wom- en thus employed were corralled for war work.
 ''At first we looked upon the situation with a clutch of horror; but later we viewed it with an easy-going optimism, . said Miss Turberville. We had hoped to be in Berlin by Christmas of the first year of the war; we looked to Russia to come sweeping in; we called Russia the Steam Roller but, alas, we looked in vain It was from the west, not the east-from America-that our hope and assistance came; and we appreciated it. You cheered our hearts, for our hearts were very tired.
 "When England went into the war it was for devastated France, for outraged Belgium, that she saw fit to close her channel ports for their protection, as well as her own. But very soon she saw a far greater thing at stake-she saw an evil which threatened the whole world America. when she went into the war soon realized, like England, that na- tional aggrandizement had nothing to dc with the case, but that the principle at stake was intolerance of a government which had chosen to violate every fun damental principle of civilization"
 Miss TurberviIe then told of the work of the women in the munitions works o1 Eugland-the airdromes, the shipbuild- ing yards, always citing Americas owr industries in which the million and halt women are now working-in the great shipbuilding plants at Camden, Hog Island and other places.
 Her own work came about through the welfare section of the ministry ol munitions which she referred to as 2 revolutionary idea" in her country, that of the government protecting labor-see- ing that 1t was housed, clothed. fed ano cared for properly. The situation as sumed a more than moral phase; it was an economic condition-the fact of taking over any properly caring for labor, mak- ing it more efficient and effective
 She told touchingly of many deeds ol herself of girls in the dangerous depart ments of the munitions works, and em- phasized particularly that the womer who had done the greatest war worF in England were those between the ages of IS and 25-at the time when youtf called for joy and happiness and looked away from sorrow and despair!
 Miss Turberville terminated her tall with a glowing tribute to the men oi the allied armies who have given theii lives for our freedom.

By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

The strength of a new hope is now looking out in the hearts of men and women. As we think of the horrors of war, let us not forget the beauties it is revealing. We are all women of one great crusade-there is no nationality. but an allied army of women, and it is to women that the future looks for re adjustment when peace is declared"
 With this note of optimism, this thrill ing message to the women of America this kindly and courageous thought Miss Beatrice Picton Turberville. the brilliant Englishwoman, who appeared before & large and appreciative audience at the Phoenix club on Friday morning, found her way into the hearts of every auditor who sat before her matchless word paint ing of woman's part in the war, from it's beginning to the present moment
 Prior to Miss Turberville's address a most pleasing programme was enjoyed. Mrs. William Gussen, at the piano, played the "Star-Spangled Banner" which was followed by the entire au- dience joining in the Lord S Prayer, after which Mrs. o. L. Stephenson's beautiful voice was heard.
 gracefully over the meeting, and in a few well chosen words of greeting to Miss Turberville in behalf of the Y. w. c. A, and the other organizations in cluded in the united war work drive, whose guest she Is during her visit here, she then introduced the distinguished cyAn alyar 3nA
 plauSe.
 Miss Turberville is typically English, tall and slender, graceful and intelligent, her euphonious voice raised in loyalty and patriotism for her own country, and the wonderful deeds performed by the splendid women of her country at once enlisted the closest attention from the audience, which was held spellbound un- til the last words of her message had been delivered.
 Miss Turberville made a brief resume of the war work done by the women of her own country--which she prefaced by saying was only what the women of France, Belgium and now America had done.
 As her topic she chose Women in War and Industry, and her first statement was to this effect:
 Eighty per cent of the industrial ac- tivity in England during the war has devolved upon women. The tremendous drain on our man power has made the demand on our women power equally as tremendous. We have now in England practically no men between the ages of IS and 50 years, as the men have been drafted out, the women has been drafted in, taking their places in the munition factories and other industrial branches. This was in the beginning of the war, back in 1914; today, 95 per cent of the industrial work done by men before the war is now done by women.

Birmingham Southern
 R. R. Loses Identity
 as Common Carrier

The Birmingham Southern Railroad company has lost it's identity as com mon carrier. according to a report cir culated in railroad circles yesterday, and in future will be operated as a part of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company's great industrial enterprises in this district. The Birmingham Southern, while a separate corporation, is owned by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad interests, and has always been controlled by them.
 One advantage to be gained by the changed status of this industrial rail- way line, it is said, is the elimination of switching charges, which will result in a considerable saving.

REPUBLICANS MADE POOR SHOWING IN RECENT ELECTION Official Canvass of Vote of Jefferson County Made by
 Board Yesterday LESS THAN 40 PER CENT OF COUNTY VOTE CAST Errors Found in Several Precinct Returns, But Will Not Affect
 the Big Democratic
 Majority

Less than 1000 votes were cast for
 the republican ticket in Jefferson coun-
 ty in last Tuesdays election, and un-
 less it fared better in other counties
 1t did not get the coveted 25 per cent
 needed to entitle it to a primary cleo
 tion next year.
 The official canvass of the vote cast
 Tuesday was made yesterday by Pro-
 Batson and Circuit Clerk w. J. Waldrop, but the footings were not completed when they adjourned last night. They met at 12 o'clock in the sheriffs office and began the tabulation, completing this at 3:30, following which Judge Stiles. with the aid of an adding ma
 chine, undertook the work of casting the totals. At o'clock he was about half through.
 The total vote in the county was less than 5000, the equivalent of about 40 per cent of the qualified electors. Of this total Thomas E. Kilby, demo- cratic candidate for governor, received l6S34 votes to 617 cast for his repub-
 lican opponent. Maj. Dallas B. Smith. CONGRESSIONAL RACE Joseph O.. Thompson, republican nom l inee for Congress in the Ninth district Jefferson county-did little better
 than his party associates his total vote
 being 994, to 6513 for his democratic
 opponent, George Huddleston, who goes back to Washington for his third term | in the National House of Representa- l tives While MT. Huddleston ran some
 what behind MT. Kilby, the balance of | the democratic ticket ran about even
 with the gubernatorial candidate. MT. l Thompson led the republican ticket by about 375 votes.
 A number of apparent clerical errors were found in the returns which, how ever, the election commissioners. under the law, were not permitted to correct. In precinct 22, Upper Coalburg, the of ficial returns showed 22 votes each for Mr Kilby and Major Smith, whereas l the total vote in the precinct was only PA. A similar error occurred in pre- l cinct 34, district 2, Woodlawn, Mir Kilby and Major Smith each being credited with 75 votes in total of less than 3D. ERRORS IN RETURNS At two or three of the boxes the fig ures evidently were switched with the result that single republican would be credited with the democratic vote and vice versa In still other boxes certain of the candidates were not credited with any votes at all While their associates received in one instance 1OO These were purely clerical errors. and as they can have no possible effect on the result except to increase or de- crease the total vote of certain candi- dates no attempt will be made to cor rect them.
 MT. Thompson carried two of the l22 boxes, while the balance of the repup- lican ticket carried only one. Hardwood. precinct Al, where the vote stood six for the republicans and four for the democrats.
 Nearly half of MT. Thompson's total vote was cast in the 21 precincts, pre- cincts 21 and 37-old Birmingham where he received total of 445, leav- l ing 549 for the balance Of the county.

First Lieutenant Edmund G.
Chamberlain, of San Antonio, Texas

to capture German and take him
to the allied camp, while the Texen
