K|WAN|S MEETING
 FULL 0F INTEREST
"A War Hero, Two Movie Stars and a ParsOn Add
 Lots of Color.

A tale of the trenches from an invali- dated war hero, ringing message of good od-felowship from regular parson, a a winsome female movie star and a bit of British humor by an English actor all combined to make the meeting of the Kiwanls club yesterday one of the most eolorful and enjoyable of the entire year.
 When Big Cheese Mercer Barnett the braves to order, more than five score pairs of "gunboats'' were docked under the mahogany While the boys were getting their napkins tucked under their chins and the menlals were stalking about with cargoes of roasted viands. somebody led in a big, raw-boned fellow and a modern princess that was awful easy to look at" This pair was intro- duced as MQntagu Love and Miss June Elvidge, two of the foremost screen stars of America.
 MT. Love, handicapped as he was in a strictly stag affair got away with a couple of jokes in good style and wound up by paying feeling tribute to Brit aims part in the war. His playmate, a vivacious young Venus, Miss Elvidge by name. sang q soldier boy ballad very creditably and attracted looks of admira- ton from barren-roofed members that could have turned many spouse ver- dant with envy.
 Dr. J. E. Dillard, new pastor of the Southside Baptist church, made a com- nonsense talk on good fellowship and the benefits that accrue from the mu- tual exchange of ideas by business men, Do ye unto them as ye would have them do unto you' was the text of his message.
 Maj Hartley A. Moon very modestly recounted some of his experiences while at the front in command of one bat talion of the famous Rainbow division He paid a tribute to the work of the seven organizations for which Birming- ham is going to raAe big fund next week His description of disastrous German attack drew the utmost atten- ton from his hearers.

If you must have your meat every day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says noted author lty who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts to expel 1t from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken. then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache. dizziness. Your stomach sours, tongue Is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy. full of sediment. the chan nels often get sore and irritated, oblir- ing you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these Irritating acids. to cleanse the kidneys and flush of tha body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here. take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine, This famous salts is made from tha acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimu ulate sluggish Kidneys. also to neutraIize the acids in urine, so 1t no longer ir- ritates. thus ending bladder weakness.

 Allied Siege Of Ghent

Even the United States was represented among the spectators of this extraor- dinary scene, for four officials stationed in Holland. who had happened to be In Bruges on business, came on to Ghent as it had been wrongly reported that the city had been captured from the Ger mans. The American quartet was com posed of c, H. Krough. Ralph Runyon, a vice consul at Rotterdam, and A. w.. Bankert and Ensign Charles Moore, at tached to the legation at The Hague
 During the day the advance guards of the allied forces rushed forward still closer about Ghent. As they drove in, the civilians who had flocked to the scene joined the troops at many places. Automobiles approached within a mile of Ghent in perfect safety,
 War has little damaged the country side about Ghent. Yesterday the Ger man guns threw shells Into hamlets near the front, but this section of Belgium shows little signs of devastation.
 Whether the Germans actually have withdrawn from Ghent or intend to hold on a little longer was not clearly ap- parent today. However, it seemed only a matter of time before Belgian troops would be marching through the city whose streets have rung to the tramp of German soldiery for four years.

With the Allied Armies in France and Belgium, Monday, November 4.-(By the Associated Press )-Allied troops today began the siege of the city of fGhent. already surrounded virtually on three sides. The assault on the city was wit messed by Queen Elizabeth of Belgium and hundreds of her noncombatant subjects.
 As the allied troops advanced on the city, the setting was a most dramatic one. Civilians mingled with the soldiers at many points and as the infantry moved forward pleasure boats moved hither aad thlther along the winding canals on the western edge carrying civil ians who had gathered to see the re- storation of their beloved city. Within the little white cottages along the banks of the canal were German machine gum ners whose weapons dominated the wat erways and the roads.
 For some reason most of the guns were silent. Overhead the Belgian air planes swirled and dived like great birds but there was no challenge from the German anti-aircraft guns. Into this scene of mimic warfare came the Queen of Belgium, who motored to within two and one-half miles of the city.
 Qneen Elizabeth looked across the bat tie line upon the towering spirals and

FORMER ENSLEY MAN WRITES T o FRIEND

William Wells. 4313 Ninth avenue, Wy lam. has received the following from France from T. c. Williams, who was formerly a well known Ensley business man:
 September {, 1918. Dear Friend Wells:
 have intended to do this for sometime, but kept putting it off, but have thought Of you people thousands of times since I left the states. I am doing clerical work at present, at the central record office. Work about 1900, including about 300 Eng fish girls. Work a day and night shift. I am working at night, go to work at p. m.., have lunch from 12 to 1 a. m., and quit at a. m. I like it fine. I am feeling the best in the world. Uncle Sam is feeding us boys pretty good. Condi- tions are much better than I expected to find. 1 have not worked since Friday night; will work tonight It is only about 20 minutes walk to the main business center. This is good-siZed town and many points of historical interest here. & The street cars here are operated by ladies, so you know I take car ride huite often. These French talk very little English, majority cannot speak it at all. I would have a grand time with the French James if could talk French flu { ently.
 Evervthing is quite expensive over here. , l guess it is everywhere at present. This Sailors and Soldiers club is & great thing for the boys, awfully nice place They serve tea, coffee and sandwiches every day to the boys free. And, best of all. have American girls to serve you. Have several Y. M. c. As here. I heard a lecture at the "Y" a few days ago by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, president sof Sears, Roebucl1 & Co.

GERMAN O|L SUPPLY GUT BY AUSTRIAN SURRENDER, REPORT
Stopping of Traffic Between Austria and Germany
 Completely Shuts Off am. Oil Supply

oublics, nc a4-
 ct of the elimination of Austria from the war, the fuel administration an nounced tonight, will be the cutting 1 off of Germany's supplies of fuel OH and gasoline.
 Germany has been obtaining fuel OH and gasoline from Galatia ana fsu- mania and was planning to import e%- tensfvely from the Caucacus, the all nouEcement said, but under the terms of the Austrian armistice, all traffic betw cen Germany and her former ally must stop.
 Within the German borders there are no supplies of fuel oil. and infor- nation possessed by the fuel admtnl5- tration is that Germany has been using benzol-a derivate of coal tar-for lubricating oil. This latter source, 1t was said will not supply German needs.
 The Italian fuel situation, which has been serious from the beginning of the war, it was said, will not be iin- proved materially by the Austrian armistice. The Austrian mines worked to full capacity, furnish only enough coal for the nations needs. Demobili- zation of the Austrian army will allow the return of miners to their work and thereby probably prevent suffering be- cause of lack of fuel within that na- tion this winter, but will not provide Supplies sufficient to aid Italy.

Strongly Fo,tifed Town
 Of LeQuesnoy Captured

Zealanders surrounded the Qualifications, while the airmen joined in the attack, wheeling over the town and attacking the garrison with their machine guns.
 Under cover Of smoke screen the New Zealanders crept up to the gateway which the Germans were keeping open as line of retreat. Then followed confu- sion and desperate fighting, and the en- trance was secured. More than 1000 pris- oners were taken.
 Meanwhile the British advanced to a line three miles east of the town. A re- markatle sight was the spectacle of sev- eral German field batteries. with teams harnessed, their drivers and gunners all mounted and sitting smartly at attention, making their way back to the prison cages.
 The great capture of guns was due to the rapid advance over at least two points where enemy artillery had been concen- trated.

NO EXCUSE FOR
 BREAK IN COTTON

Washington, November 5.--(Spec.al.) Representative Heflin of Alabama, who has just returned from 8 speaking cam paign in Missouri, issued the following cotton statement tonight:
 The bear gamblers and certain spin ners have formed combination to beat down the price of cotton. There is no excuse for a break in the price. The supply of cotton is small. while the de- mand is great. There is not enough cot ton in the world to supply the present demand, and the demand three months from now will be much greater than it is at present. If the war ends in the next two or three months, as now seems certain, cotton will go to 40 and maybe 50 cents per pound.
 "The man who has cotton and refuses to sell at the present low price will reap his reward by holding It."
