IN LINE WITH POLICY

in line with the policy of the admins tration, which has designated that day as Liberty Day all over the country and It has been announced also that people employed in essential industries will be given q holiday on that occasion in order that they may participate in the parade.
 Replying to a telegraphic inquiry from County Chairman Murray Brown, Dis trict Chairman w. c. Wardlaw wired yesterday: Washington wires that Oc- tober F has been designated as Liberty Day, and has released government em- pioyes who can be spared for parades that day. They do not favor further holidays throughout the loan. The greatest need of, the country is the stim- ulation of production and the campaign should be conducted with as little in- terruption of effort as possible"
 Chairman McCleery and his commit tee will take advantage of the postpone ment to make the parade even greater and more spectacular than it would have been had it taken place yesterday, ac- cording to programme There will be many additional features not obtainable in time to be put in the pageant yes- terday. s
 DECISION APPROVED Chairman Browns decision to call off the parade was heartily approved by the women who had expected to partici- pate in it. They said that in view of the fact that several hundred school children were to have been in line, and the danger of contracting colds and perhaps influenza, now so prevalent in other sections of the country, it would have been unwise to have required them to march through the wet streets.
 The formal launching of the bond sale campaign will take place tomorrow at luncheon at 1 o'clock in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel to the women workers and a dinner at the same place at o'clock, which will be attended by County Chairman Brown and his exec utive committees and the allied armies.
 Actual solicitation work will begin on Tuesday morning. The allied armies are thoroughly organized and during the coming week the city of Birmingham and Jefferson county will be canvassed from end to end.
