RED CROSS ROLL CALL By Frank Willis Barnett

The Mississippi chapters of the Ameri- isiana and Alabama to a race in enlist
 ments for universal membership during the drive for the Christmas roll call week of December 1928, and Alabama
 wired her acceptance
 Now, if Alabama wins, it means that Birmingham has got to keep in her great stride. It cannot be done if this great city "slacks' for a moment But, folks. let's teach those ambitious Mis- sippians that when they challenge this ! great State of ours to any kind of a con- | test which looks to the caring of her l boys or ministering to humanity that
 they are up against real fight for | leadership.
 l Let the people know from the begin ming that the supreme and only object 1 of the Christmas roll call is for mems bers, and that every man, old or young, black or white every woman of any | age race, creed or color is not only  expected, to join, and that if already 1 members, are counted on to ranew their membership. There never was such a
 campaign as is being staged throughout he nation to show the world that .stlle l aearNo of America beats true at Christi | .nastide to the spirit of the Master. 5 | Membership in p1 iS nn l .o be lightly held, for it is to have a practical participation in the realization 1 of sublime ideal which ss founded on 1 he principles of the worlds greatest 1 eacher and made of permanent value to mankind through the blood of our fore | fathers. who established on this coati- ent the greatest democracy the world
 las ever known If the Christmas roll
 all had been, mere campaign for | unds it would, in simple fairness So the ] lmerican people. have been called off. 1 Now, by Gods grace, the Red Cross l hristnas message of 1918 is to be a ] .essage of peace as we'll as a message T good will.'' says our worthy Presi- i mt of the United States and, the pres 1 ent of the American Red Cross. 'But
 see dces not mean that~ we can hold ether and be increased for the great sSs to~come. We must prove conclu- I vely to an attentive world that Amer Il is permanently aroused to the needs

Savings Stamp Sales After the Holidays

THE War Savings Stamp can ll yassers in Birmingham and elsewhere in Alabama have worked with enthusiasm and have achieved wonders. Naturally there will be Hull during the holidays. The workers are entitled to rest, but early In the new year the campaign will become active again and high records Tn Stamp sales will be in order.
 The rural districts of Alabama a1e well organized and will give good account of themselves in the spring. There should be great state drive before the end of the first quarter ot the year, but steady effort, day by day, in all the towns and cities will bring large results.
 If a nationwide interest in the thrift idea is maintained, the full amount sought by the Savings Stamp agencies-two billion dollars should be in sight before Christmas of 1919.

manhood and womanhood mobilized for service as is the army and navy mobil- ized for liberty It in itself is the great est peace army the world has ever looked upon with it's 22, ,000,o00 men and women and S,000,000 school children Yes, D. 0S0,Oo0 American mothers, wives and sis terS are found in it's ranks as voluntary workers Thirty thousand graduates are enrolled for war service; and 19,O00 of these were assigned to active duty be- fore the arrnistice was signed
 Since Amerca's entry into the war. the main purpose of our. Red Cross has been to aid our army and navy in the care of, our own men under arms, and, secondly, to extend relief to the soldiers, sailors and civilians of those nations which were fighting our battles along with their own. With the funds which have been so generously contributed by the American people this overseas work will be continued and completed with all possible sympathy and energy. Act ing chairman of the central committee of the American Red Cross said in 3 recent address at, Philadelphia, "The great army of mercy which this war has called into being must. never be demobilized."
 When the idea of the Christmas roll call was conceived, as the Nhappest meth cd of registering the national Red Cross spirit. the end of the world war was nor
 in sight; but even then it was not to be a drive for money, and now the sign ing of the arnNstice, the cessation or and the plans for demobiliz- ing large parts of the armies, together with the prospective taking over. of cer' tain activities by governmental agencies makes 1t possible to care for it's needs through funds supplied by the fees de- rived from memberships.
 Wherever our soldiers and sailors may be, thes Red Cross twill stay with them until they are mustered out Moth ing which may be done for them wilt be left undons. for the Vep in the war zones, for those returning home. for those in camps and hospitals. or for their families at home to whom will con- tinue 10 be devoted the min;strations of the Red Cross home service. In this latter effcrt 5o.ooo traiped Red Cross workers are now engaged at 25Oo differ ent places throughout the land.

committees of waterway experts have been sent to Alabama by Director General McAdoo to make study at close range of the river situation in it's relation to traffic requirements. All of them made reports favorable to the development of the necessary faclli- ties. G. A. Tomlinson, assistant di- rector of railroads, in charge of the waterway branch of transportation, was among the recent visitorssto Ala ban1a who came for the purpose of making a final report. His impress sions left no room for doubt as to the of the barge system, or of the pressing need for prompt action lon the part of the government.
 Retrenchment is now the rule, as it should be- Only expenditures for inn provements of vital import are being considered; but the Warrior proposl- tion comes we'll under the head of vital needs.
 The period of hisitation being over, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and Mobile have cause for genuine rejoicing. Mr. McAdoo's action yesterday is of far reaching significance and it made this a red letter day for Alabama.
 Barges of the proper and most mod ern type will soon be plying the War rior laden with coal, iron and steel and other products of industrial Ala bama, to say nothing of merchandise in general coming up the river; all which will mean wonderful expan- sion for Birmingham and the Birming- ham district.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT PRESIDENT WILSON
 AND WHY HE IS NOW IN FRANCE

that when all the facts were presented to him full agreement could be reached.
 # s <
 Of course President Wilson has a big job on his hands, No other man in the history of the world has ever faced so many great international problems. It is not what Germany shall pay, or what shall be done with Germany, but the encouragement of the entire world and the positions in future to be occu- pied by the victor nations in dealing with one another and with the world in ger- eral
 All sorts of problems are to face the President-problems which are calculated l to embarrass him.
 His Irish constituency, for instance. would have him present tha Irish prop- lem to Lloyd Gecrge. and the Pope mas have something to ask of him about -.. recognition of the church in the govs ernments of certain European countries. These are but little things, but may prove thorns in the many problems Of peace treaty which will be lasting. *.N # $ Tn international affairs President Will son has been forceful.f He has been great student of international law and of the many problems facing European nations Naturally, however. this four wears war has changed conditions every where and the entire map of Europe must be changed.
 Great Britain, France and Italy have many points which they will insist upon, But their, representatives like ours, are broad guaged men and the general pur- poses of all are. to the same end--a last | ing and permanent peace wherein the countries of the world may in future have an amicable existence. With such purposes dominant in all delegates a peace treaty should be made within a reasonable length of time. While 1t is unfortunate in some re- spects that the President found it neces- sary to leave the country. I. for one, believe that his personal presence at the peace conference was necessary for the sproper establishment of this country in the world of future nations
 We have entered the world democracy. We. must remain therein and continue to plan our full part for al; time. ' 2,ejr r53,uee

Paris Gives Wilson
 Wonderful Ovation

\ M TIER reading correspondents ksA graphic descriptions of Presi- ] ent Wilson's reception in Paris yes
 srday, it required little imagination to visualize those stirring scenes along the streets through which the presi- dential party passed. It was nov Ing spectacle, not only for MT. Will son, but for the whole world to which 1t was made vivid by an army of news paper men whose "stories" were ca bled to the four quarters of the globe. It was a spontaneous outpouring of admiration and regard for President Wilson and the American people. It detracts not at all from the warmth Z of the French welcome that thousands of Americans, we'll schooled in college yells, rent the air with their cheers.
 T,sA significance underlying the Jlnouts of the throngs, the millions of flags, the booming guns and the blare of bands drowned in the tumult, is victory in a glorious cause. No one questions the sincerity of America s motives in the war and MT. Wilson personifies that spirit of justice to mankind for which the American peo- pie fought, at home and abroad
 Paris has surpassed herself in doing honor to the distinguished visitor. 4he Gallic temperament was much in evidence. London and Rome will have to bestir themselves if they wish to equal the enthusiasm shown by the French capital, swarming with repre- sentatiyes of every race on the earth. No scion of royalty has ever been ac- claimed as President Wilson was yes terday in the streets of Paris.
