MUSTER ORDERS RECEIVED

Anniston. November 19.-tSpecial. D-The physically fit men who belong to the l51th depot brigade, and the development bat talion at Camp Mcclellan, are to be mus tered out of the military service as rap idly as the machinery can return them to civil life
 This announcement, made Tuesday at the camp headquarters, creates wide in- terest throughout the camp and in An niston The announced policy of the gov- crnment to retain only such men who are not up to the same standard of physical fitness as when they entered the service will be observed at Camp Mcclellan and the work of releasing the men will be carried out in strict conformity to the published policy in this respect.
 The order announced this week pro- vides that certain classes of men are to be released first, and the different men skilled in the many lines of business will be returned to civil life in the order specified in the manner prescribed by the war department
 The order which provides for the re- turn of the soldiers to civil pursuits also provides that the IAhor battalions are to be reduced in numbers and that the men who do moi come up to the standard of physical fitness required by the govern nent arc to be kept in the service for development and treatment by army medical officers.
 Naturally, tho members of the two units specified are on the aui vive of expectancy, and while they are certain that their army life is nearing it's end. they are carving forw ard their work of framing along all the improved lines just as intensiyely as thev did q few weeks ago The signing of the aruii- stice and the prospects of an early settlement of tho war has relieved the tension under which the men have teen working. and officers and men alike

 Dr. Gerald sumner, after Ii years studying medicine in Europe, retvrns to New York and for a month spends mos. of his time playing golf and society, Eventually. Budd Woodbridge, love- sick and jealous, whose loss of appe- |tite, insomnia and nervousness have |baffled the family physician, is put under pr, Summers care by his mother. pr. Sumner prescribcs strenuous exercise and enjoins his pa. tient not to see anyone for mouth, not even Grace Tyler, the cause os all his troubles. Budd submits, and V.r- ginia Xelva, French orphan, attendant ill Dr. Summers office goes 10 his home as nurse.
 The month up a party is arranged in honor of Budd's birthday anniver- sary. He and Grace are found in each
 others arms. both become alarmed when discovered, and the next morning Budd, believing he has offended Grace beyond forgiveness, starts for New York, going by way or Dr. Summers s office Nurse Xelva, being in love with pr.

PROCEDURE pEMoBILIzATToN

Anniston, November 19. -(Special) Three white hattalions and one colored battalion of the authorized strength are to be retained as the 157th depot bri- gade at Camp Mcclellan, and in addition a development battalion will be formed, the object being to care for all the men who are to be given the necessary treat ment to restore them to proper physical condition
 The second, fifth and tenth training battalions. composed of white troops and the thirteenth battalion, made up of ne- groes will be retained with their auth orized training force of 60 men for each company and 70 men for each heauquar- ters.
 The battalion commanders have been instructed to pick out the men who are to make up the enlisted personnel ot the training corps in order that the best men may be retained in the service, and the names of all men above this num- Der have already been turned in to the battalion headquarters and are listed for immediate discharge.
 Preference for discharge will be given to men in all of the units who have good and sufficient reasons for desiring same. Prisoners confined in the stock ades will not be carried as surplus mem bers and they are not to be counted as part of the authorized strength Of the depot brigade.
 Commanders of colored battalions are required to submit by Wednesday night all known development battalion mate rial to brigade headquarters and fur ther examination will be carried out as fast as the officers can reach these cases
 An interesting feature of the present demobilization activities at Camp Me Clellan is that no officer with the grade of captain may apply for immediate sep aration. The order in this respect reads: Officers desiring separation from the service as soon as possible will submit their names to headquarters, In this connection it Is stated that no captains may apply for this for the reason that all are required for work in the depot brigade. A certain number of first lieu tenants and second lieutenants can se- cure release shortly, and possibly one major, but no other applicants will be considered.
 The disqualification of the l51th depot brigade will release fully 5000 men, many of whom come from Alabama. Georgia and Florida.

CONDITIONS HERE
 WILL BE BETTER
 THAN EVER BEFORE Alex Walker Declares That Business Men Over State
 Are Very Optimistic

Financially the Birmingham district is better off than ever before in it's his tory, i'll the opinion of number ot bankers interviewed yesterday. The banks have all the money necessary to accommodate their regular customers and to meet the legitimate demands of business generally. They are said to be in a position to take care of the money needs of commercial and industrial BIT mingham in the trade expansion that IS expected to set in now that the war IS over.
 T was just talking with the vice president of a national bank in Tusca- loosa," said Alex E. Walker, manager of the federal reserve bank. T asked him if his bank needed any money. He replied that they had more money right now than they could use.
 This seems to be the situation, not only with the banks il, Birmingham, but in all the towns and cities in this part of the state. There never was so much money in the country as to- day, and believe it will be a long time before the prosperity that we have en- joyed during the past two or three years slacks up. In my opinion the ending of the war is going to usher in the greatest business activity the eoun- try has ever experienced"
 The federal reserve bank system saved the country from panic during the period of the war and will keep business conditions safe and sound in the years of reconstruction to fol- low, is the opinion expressed by MT. Walker.
 More people have money saved up now than ever in the history of the
  hardly find boy or a girl that has not bought at least one Baby Bond, and many of them have Liberty Bonds. The government did a wise thing in selling bonds of such small denomination that even the smallest wage earner could buy them. They have formed the saw ing habit and 1 look for them to con- tinue it. I hope the government will continue selling these small bonds for years to come"
 The recent statements published in response to the call of the controller of the United States treasury, show the Birmingham banks to be in an excep tionally healthy condition. Their re- sources increased about 25 per cent between the latter part of August and November 1, and deposits made sim- ilarly satisfactory showing, despite the heavy drains upon them due to the War Savings and Liberty Loan cam paigns. Not only did their deposits and resources show remarkable gains in this period, but the clearing house transactions increased from three to four times over the corresponding pe- riod of 1917.
 When the federal reserve branch bank was established here the first of August only about 50 per cent of the banking institutions in the terri tory allotted to it were members of the system. Since then a few have joined and it is understood that several others are now considering the matter of coming into the system.

"Flo-Flo"- "-Jefferson

A sense of humor distributed gem erally among 12 "perfect 36" chorus girls-that Is one of the reasons why John Cort's "Flo-Flo," which opens at the Jefferson theatre here on Tuesday and Wednesday, matinee Wednesday packed the Cort theatre in New York with enthusiastic throngs nightly for months.
 The eccentric dancing of the comedy chorus, which so far as is known is the only one in captivity, has been the tobasco in the delightful offering Of lovely lyrics, cievc, lines and lacy lingerie. which has captivated the fancy of the Broadway theatregoers.
 John Cort has given nis chorus an effective setting In the Bride Shop. His cast of principals. which numbers only artists of established reputation and popularity, is most effective.

The Reel Guys is making a big hit on Loew's BiJou vaudeville bill as the headline act There ars aiso four other star vaudeville numbers, alb of which afford excellent entertainment.
 If you want to be stirred with real true American patriotism, see George Walsh "On the Jump" It's fine rol- licking comedy and you will enjoy 1t every minute. It shows some new and wonderful, yet reasonable. ideas of salesmanship and their application to Liberty Loan Bonds. As Paul Revere, Walsh outdoes the famous patriot in wild riding and his other evidencea4of athletic agility and prowess are no less startling.

Margaret Anglin Here Thanksgiving

No theatrical booking of the present season will enlist more attention than the engagement of Margaret Anglin and her original New York company in her comedy success, "Billeted," which is an- nounced for Thanksgiving matinee and night at the Jefferson theatre. Miss Anglin has occupied place of exalted distinction on the American stage fer number of years. She has demon strated again and again--in widely J- vergent roles--her right to be classed among the few really great emotional actresses, and by her portrayal of Shakespearean characters and in exact ing roles in the classic Greek drama she has measured up to the highest stand ards of her art in both comedy and tragedy. Her engagement here in the delightful comedy "Billeted" will nat uraliy attract the attention of all dis eriminating theatregoers.

No More Imperial" Jefferson

No More "ImperiaF Jefferson To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Without any spirit of carping crit icism whatever, may l suggest that in future We discontinue the custom of saving 'ImperiaF' Jefferson county.
 While in it's past usages there was never any thought of imperialistic at titude toward others, but simply to ex- press it's natural greatness; yet. in asmuch as we have just won a war to destroy imperialism, it seems more ap- propriate as well as patriotic for our orators and writers to adopt some more compatible adjective, such as peerless or "incomparab1e," when seeking to shed lustre upon the matchless glory of this magnificent county and it's splendid people.
