 Beautiful Rita Jolivet who under went privations and hardships when this great liner was sent to the bottom of the Atlantic with it's human cargo; who fought in the ice-cold water of the Atlantic among the struggling mass of humanity and tossing wreck age; who saw the great liner in its last great plunge carry hundreds to their death as they were caught like rats in a trap and drawn down to a horrible end, who saw brave men give up their lives that the women and children might fight for life in the frail life boats; who saw an indescrib- able scene of wreckage waste, and horrifyfng murder at the hands of the Hun .'kultur," will make an appeal to the young men of Birmingham to en- list in the marine corps at Saks cor ner, Second and Nineteenth, Wednes- day at noon.

 Saks is rendering great assistance to this move in both advertising nat ter and in actual assistance to make it an unqualified success from pa- triotic standpoint.
