BIRMINGHAM BOY
 SENDS GOSSIP OF
 LIFE OVER THERE

Private Aubrey Williams, Fifth field ar tillery, headquarters company, Second battalion, First division, son of MT and Mrs. C. E. Williams 1231 North Seven teenth street. writes from France as fol- lows:
 March IS.
 Dearest Dad: know you know that you. but I feel that like to write you one over to the shop once in while. "I am here at the front, just as close as they will let an artilleryman get, but that's close enough. The fun is going on al. the time and we are giving the Frit2ies hell and hell overturned again. All want to whip the dirty suns of night and murder to their knees and we will. think often of you and wish l might come in the shop and see you and look over some of your good wagon work: we need some of those trucks here. Some of the work I do has the loading of some of such and I get pretty tired at times, but man here is here to work. The great machine we are gradually making is whipping itself into shape, and before the summer is over we will have such a pow erful one the world will stand amazed.
 "I am well and clean and have plenty of warm cover for the nights and days when get chance to sleep. Don't worry, above all things. I am in danger, yes, but under God what real Ameri- can wants to be anywhere but where we aress And if we go I'd rather live one ecstatic epic day and do my duty than live d coward years in secure safety. and know you had. too
 Love and heaps of it. AUBREY.

 Seymour Stedman, attorney for Mrs. Stokes, gave notice of an appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals and Judge Arbas Van Vlankburgh granted the defense sixty days in which to file its bill of exceptions. The judge also continued Mrs Stokes S10,000 bond which means that she vii retain her liberty until the case is finally ruled upon bY the higher carc,.
 Guilty on Three Counts
 Mrs. Stokes was found guilty on thre counts of the indictment and the court imposed a sentence of ten years on each count to run consevutively. The Missouri penitentiary was chosen because the federal prison at Leaven- worth. Kansas, has not accommodations for women.

May Hold Balance Between Defeat and Victory, Says British General; Retain Cantisny Positions
CRy Review Leased wI,en

WASHINGTON, June 1.-American troops have become a vital factor in the great battle in France and may hold the balance between defeat and victory, General Bridges of a special British military mission to the United States said here tonight in discussing the renewal of the German drive.
 The objectives now before the Ger mans the general said, appear to he three-fold-the capture of Paris, the di- vision of the main allied armies by an advance through Amiens and the capture of the channel ports.
 Factors Aiding Germans
 In cOncealing their preparations SO as to make a surprise attack General Bridges said, the Germans were aid ed probably by four factors: their pre- ponderating numbers, a good railway system, the proximity of woods to their first objective where large numbers of troops could be concealed, and the fact that this front tongue had been organized for attack.
 While now onNa narrow and danger ous salient, said the General, the Ger mans will be in a favorable position for advance on Paris should they be successful in pushing out the west leg of the salient and poining it up with the Amiens salient That, he said, ap- peared t obe their intention as they could be expected to call halt at the Marne.
 Two Possibilities
 The allies must now be prepared either to see the offensive resumed in the north, continued General Bridges, or else see German divisions from the north sent down to exploit the new success. The battle, he add ed, is likely to continue for weeks and will become a long drawn out struggle of manpoTer with the first duty of the allies 10 husband their resources by giving ground for men where pos sible.

 Campbell rose to remark that he had no respect for anyone who would try to starve the boys on the other side and that adverse votes did not look to him like good Americanism.
 Winsor protested that patriotism might reside with persons who dis agreed

WHITE HOUSE WOOL SHRLNKS

A real similarity between a woOlen unde1shirt and the White House wool purchased for sS5O5 by the Warren district syndicate in the recent Red Cross drive. was discovered when the wool, sent from the office of the gov ernor, arrives s-Warren District Commercial club yesterday.
 The wool had shrunk The syndi- catet had purchased sS5O5 worth or clippings-two pounds. One and one third pounds arrived from the capitol.
 Just like that woolen undershirt It went to the laundry a nice fit. When it came home. John Doe, Jr.. began wearing it as a castoff of John Doe. ST.
 Where did that other three-quarters pound go? That's where the similar ity between the White House wool an1 the undershirt entis When the shirt came home its weight was unchanged the molecules had just grown closer together.
 The syndicate is mystified; they cannot solve the puzzle. All they know is the wool was sent from Washington to Governor Hunt at Phoenix, who, in turn, was instructed to deliver it to Bisbee after tho syndicate had bid $3505, seventy times the governors bid. to secure it.
 What became of that other three quarters pound?
 No one would ever presume that President Wilson or the Red Cross would short measure this state.
 No one could be so harsh as to be- lieve mail clerks or others handling the wool in transit would rifle the pack age A law forbids this.
 No one would even hint that the wool might have spilled out in ship ment; it was securely packed.
 No one could hint with juBtice that someone, perhaps in Phoenix or in the state house, retained a few shreds of the wool as souvenir. The governor and his secretary are too honest to stoop to this degree. nOmatter how keen they might be in their souvenir hunting. Others who handled the wool in Phoenix would not commit such a crime since they were acting in a capacity of trust.
 But. where did it go? Water might have spilled on it and shrunk it in size: but not in weight Some error may have been committed in notifying the state two pounds of wool had heen shipped; but other state received their two hounds in full measure
 Citizens of the Warren district can offer but one solution to the puzzle Vengeance entered into the rape of the Red Cross wool. they believe They are certain that someone with graUie against the purchasers purpose ly withheld or withdrew S11S5 worth of their precious clippings.
 They are at 9 loss as to whi might have penetrated the vengeance Since they handled the purchase through the Red Cross headquarters in Washing- ton. which was advised that the dis trict did not care to have any dealings with the governor. and since they TO- nuested that they he permitted to nav for tho wool directly in Washington, they cannot understand why anyone should hold such a gruGSe against them.
 Where. then, was the cause for this vengeful robbery? Mystery surrounds the entire case
 Still remains the similarity between the wool and the shirt-bOth shruuk.
