 Although the resources of the mu- tual savings banks located in this dis trict have not been included in ma king up the aggregate quota, and the savings banks themselves have not been allotted any quotas, many of them, appreciating that these certifi- cates of the Government having short maturities and bearing interest at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent. per annum, are extremely valuable investments for savings banks, have voluntarily sub scribed for considerable amounts, and such banks have consequently been in cluded in the list of subscribers.
 In addition to the above there are doubtless many individuals and non banking corporations that purchase the certificates indirectly through the medium Of the banks; and this course is urged upon all those desiring to make short time investments for their surplus funds or preparatory invest ments in anticipation of their sub scriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan.

LIEUTENANT COLLINS TELLS OF CONDITIONS AT FRENCH FRONT
Alabama Boys of the 167th Appreciate Sm0kes-Red Cross and Salvation
 Army Praised

Lieut.. Edgar A. Collins of Company A, 167th infantry, who has recently re- turned from France, was the week end guest of Dr. and Mrs. ". D.. Taylor of Bessemer, and talked most interestingly of his sojourn in France. Lieutenant Collins was sent back to the United States to instruct the American troops in the new open method of warfare, and at present is stationed at Camp Cor don.
 When asked to tell of some of his ex- perlences in France, he modestly stated that he was only there four months and the fighting which occurred during that time were mere skirmishes compared with the recent engagement at Chateau Thierry, when large number of Ala bama s brave sons made the supreme sac- rifice.
 During the first few months of the f67th regiments stay in France the boys were greatly inconvenienced by lack of smokes, stated Lieutenant Collins, and at various times were forced to pay as high as s1.50 for a small package Of cigarettes However, he stated that these conditions were greatly changed now, owing to the activities of the Alabama tobacco fund, which has supplied the boys with tobacco. He further stated that the men have plenty to eat anu it is well cooked and they know nothing of the sugar shortage or war breads.
 Lieutenant Collins stated that words were inadequate to express the feehng of the American soldiers towards the American Red Cross and SaNalioh Army, they having said they would De willing to die for these organiZatlohs' While the American soldiers were awaiting orders for an attack members of these organizations came as ministering angels to them, and on numbers of occasions they came in the ranks and brought coffee. sandwiches and other comforts for the men while they were under fire.
 ",rhe French people are just wonder full to the American soldiers, stated Lieutenant Collins, and it seems that they can't do enough for us, while the French soldiers are among the best l have ever seen.
 "The Y. M. c. A. is also doing a splen- did work in France, and the recreation and entertainment offered the boys through this organization are most ap- preciased by them" He declared that often the boys would say they wouldl be willing to stay in France the rest or their lives if they could only talk to American girls for little while, de- spite the fact that the French girls had succeeded in the entertainment work.
 q am most anxious to get back to France" said Lieutenant Collins, and will be indeed glad when the time comes for my return"
 Lieutenant Collins is personal friend of Capt. Lacey Edmundson Of Company D. 167th infantry, the Besse- mer company, and brought back sey- eral messages to parents of boys in that division. He left yesterday for Montgomery, and will report to Camp Gordon within the next few days to re- sume his work of instruction.
