WANT BUILDINGS FOR FULLY 500 BEDS Howard College Structures Said to Be Sufficient Only
 for 250 Beds

Information reached Birmingham yes- terday from Washington that the latest requirements of the medical corps for reconstruction hospital purposes call for buildings sufficient to install 800 beds. These buildings, according to this infor- ma ton. must be already on the ground
 Investigation of the Howard college site is said to have shown that the pres ent buildings there are sufficient only for the placing of ao beds, while the site of the Edgewood club offers nowhere near the facilities for placing 800 beds.
 At the time of Colonel Whites recent visit to Birmingham it was understood that the government would not be so particular about present buildings. as practically everything would have to De built new anyway. This fact was pointed out to President A. c. Crowder of the Chamber of Commerce last night. MT. Crowder feels that if the government in- sists that buildings be provided with room for 500 beds, it will be very difficult to find such in the entire south, to say nothing of Birmingham.
 It is felt here that Birmingham has offered two ideal sites for one of the pro- posed hospitals, but that in order to make the proposed hospital ready for use 1t will be necessary to do a great deal of new construction.

TOUCHING APPEAL FOR POOR CHILDREN
 MADE BY MILE. R0TT
Children of France Made Fatherless by Guns of the Huns Need Immediate
 Aid, States Speaker

A heart-reaching appeal for aid for the yesterday morning by Mile Celin Rott at the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce. There was representative gathering of men and women, who gave evidence of being touched and impressed with the great needs of the children of France made fatherless by the guns of the Huns. 8S
 Frank Willis Barnett introduced the speaker, paying fine tribute to the peo- pie of France and their courage and de- votion under the stress or war, and ex- pressed much pleasure at having such a visitor to address the peo- pie of the city.
 Mile Rott. who wore the uniform of a French Red Cross nurse, was given a generous reception, and, without attempt ing to inflame the minds of her hearers with the atrocities of the German hordes that had overrun northern France, told in the most appealing way the sufferings that must come to the orphans of France if the people of America do not come to their aid. "The purpose of my visit to America is to secure aid from the big hearted American people for the poor children of France made fatheress by the guns of the Huns in this great fight for democracy" said Mile. Rott
 In speaking of her worK as a Red Cross nurse in the French hospitals. she told many interesting experiences during her four years of service. She was presented a medal by the French government for distinguished service. In concluding her talk, Mile. Rott stated that 10 cents will keep child one day in irs mother s home, and $3650 will keep child one year in it's mothers home. These sub scriptions may be paid by the year. quar- ter or month, and child will be as- signed upon pledge of a years care. She then appealed to the people of America to adopt these little French orphans and give them the chance they are denied by their fathers death. At the conclusion of the talk large number of these chill dren were adopted by local people.
 Mile. Rott addressed the Liberty Loan armies at the luncheon at the Tutwiler hotel yesterday. Following her talk, the allied armies agreed at the conclusion of the Liberty Loan campaign to put on a drive to secure godmothers and god- fathers for at least 1oou of these French orphans.

KAISER IS DECLARED
 BEAST 0F BIBLE
Hugh Durigan's Interpreta- tion Based on Great Pic
 ture Coming to Rialto

Birminghamers who have been reading diligently the Bookof Revelations since the beginning of the war--and there in the declaration of Hugh M. Durigan, of tho staff of the Pittsburg Press, that Kaiser William is the 'beast' whose forthcoming as scourge CT the earth was foretold in the Bible.
 NY method of interpretation diff fers wholly from that hitherto ern- ployed, in which the figure 6, for in stance, was appended to the numerals corresponding to the title. Kaiser. says MT. Darigan. Quoting the eighteenth verse of the thirteenth chap ter of Revelations. which reads. Here is wisdom: let him that hath under standing count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred three- score and six" MT. Durigan takes the full namc of the Kaiser. William Won Hohenzollcrn. King of Prussia, Elm peror of all Germany.b and transforrds the letters into numbers. as al, bs2. etc. The result he obtains Is n fol- lows:
 "2s-s-12-12-s-1-13; 2e-15-14; s-15-t- -26-15-12-12-5-1S-14; 11-s-14-7; 15- 6; 16-1s-21-19-1s-9-1; 5-l3-16-5-1s-ft- IS; 15-6; 1-12-12-7-5-1s-13-1-14-25.
 This makes total of 666. or the six hundred threescore and six of the Bible.
 "As confirmation of this view let us consider the attitude of tho German beasts followers toward him and then read the fourth verse of the thirteenth chapter of Revelations:
 And they worshipped him, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?r
 ''The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin" the picture which gave MT. Durigan his inspiration for his Interpretation of the Scriptures, will be shown today and Saturday at the Alcazar. It comes to Birmingham with the indorsement of the committee on public information and of the national council of defens1.
