Distinguished Medical Missionary Guest of Honor at Luncheon of Southern Club Makes Stir
 ring Address
By DOLLY DALRyMpLE

Deportations and massacres all over i Turkey have followed in close succession the siege of Van and the sufTerings en- dured are almost lnconeeivable. The
 survivors, numbering nearly 3.ooa,ooo in aii' 4oo'ooo of whom are orphans. are in terrible want Will America stand bv
 and let this condition obtain? I think
 not Turkey is not an ally of Germany because she wishes to be- but because she is forced to he on account of finan- Fcial relations. If Turkey were to pull
 away from Germany today sine would be bankrupt"
 Dr. Clarence D. Ussher, the splendid noble missionary, who Wednesday in Birmingham delivered his message of want and suffering from which the Christian martyrs of the faraway cast
 are suffering in Turkey at the hands of cruel brutal, beastly despots and auto crats, spoke the grave words to me. quoted above, just before the luncheon which was given in his honor at tho southern club, at which Dr. H. A. FL
 kourie presided in graceful manner, pr. Ussher needs little introduction to
 the people of Birmingham, who have iSdlu ol the Seit- -SaGrlnclng Christian
 work he has done since his residence
 20 years ago in Turkey, where he went
 as medical missionary. But what he
 had to say yesterday needs an introduc-
 ton, in the form of preparing those n-
 terested to hear of the frightful. horri-
 ble atrocities practiced by the tfendisfi
 Turks upon our own people, as well as
 the noble race of Syrians and Armenians.

Ry RUBBING WITH LINI- MENTS AND OINT-
 MENTS

If YOU are one of the many thousand victims of torturing Rheumatism, make up your mind today that you will aban- don your efforts to rub the dis ease away with liniments, To- |tions. ointments and local ap- ! |plications. Such treatment by ] Itself is not only futile and de- void of results, but is a waste ! of time, during which the dis lease is getting a firmer hold on your system.
 Rheumatism is a stubborn Idisease. It is not on the sur Iface, therefore you must not Iexpect to be able to cure it with remedies applied to the surface. No one ever yet ef- fected permanent cure in this way, so why should you con Einue to suffer while relying |lpon treatment that has failed In thousands of cases?
 The experience of others af- 5,licted with Rheumatism is Eour best guide, and by follow Ing their advice you cannot bnly save yourself untold suf-
 ering, but rid yourself of dis Ease that will eventually wreck four body and leave you help ess. Almost every victim of Rheumatism has practically
 lie same experience. They are b impressed with the pains and
 uffering of the disease, and
 re so anxious to get rid of nem that they have treated
 he pains alone, and over
 boked their cause. They have
 lbbed with liniments, lotions nd ointments in an effort to
 let temporary relief, with no
 nance of doing themselves
 ay permanent good.

MEDICAL MISSIONARY


 pr. Ussher speaks with a low. tender. sympathetic voice of his work and his mission. and the very heart of you goes out In quick response to him and what he could do, for it means relief and comfort to millions of people who are sunering-suffering the tortures of fate far worse than death.
 T have a twofold purpose in my work in America, of which I am a native-born citizen, and not a Russian, Greek. Frenchman or Englishman, as I have been variously denominated. First, to tell my fellow countrymen what the con- ditions are in Turkey today where in many cities one lone, solitary American girl is holding the fort valiantly against every possible obstacle, sometimes keep- ing thousands alive on a half loaf of famine bread day. The other is to raise S30,O00.00o for the starving people from whom I come. I shall not go back right away--not until my mission in the states Is over, and it is a colossal mis- sion. and 1t will take a long time. AL ready 70 missionaries have sailed within the last month. When I go back will take many more with me. but it was deemed best at this time for me to stay here, since receiving funds is more inn portant than anything else When the reconstructive period comes fafter the war) then l shall leave my native soil again and go back among the people with whom I have labored so pleasantly and so happily.

STEEL AND LUMBER MEN OF ALABAMA PROMISED RELIEF 0F GAR SHORTAGES Movement of Empties to the West for Wheat Will Be
 Greatly Reduced
RECENT SITUATION IN
 DISTRICT TO REBOUND TO AID OF WARRIOR
COngressmen to Whom Ap- peal Is Made Will Use Complaint as Argument
 Before McAdOO
By HUGH W. ROBERTS.

Washington. April 3.-(SpeciaI) Distress from car shortage which prompted lumber and iron manufac- turers of Alabama to cry to Wash tngton for relief is due to the conten- tion of Food Administrator Hoover that the allies face starvation for want of American wheat.
 Explanation to this effect was offered at the railroad administration this morn ing It was said that it was absolutely necessary to route empty cars from the east and south to the west in order that they might be loaded with wheat. State- ment was made that the situation is much improved, and movement of emp ties would be discontinued
 APPEALED TO CONGRESSMEN
 Complaint of Alabama manufacturers was most pertinent and expressive. The Sloss-Sheffield, the Woodward Iron, the Republic, the Central Foundry and other Alabama companies having failed to obtain relief from the regional railroad director in Atlanta and the car service section of the railroad administration, appealed in a joint telegram to mem bers of Congress- It was represented that, whereas they were engaged in manufacturing iron for use of the gov ernment they could procure no cars, and that, as result, great surplus stocks were accommodating, which, if permitted to continue, would result in hitherto unapproached railroad congestion.
 LUMBERMEN ALSO COMPLAIN
 The lumber dealers of western Ala bama joined in a statement to the effect that, whereas they were producing for governmental use more lumber than any other section of equal area, they were given no assistance in securing freight movement, and as a result were sufferers from great financial loss.
 WILL AID WARRIOR PROJECT
 Inasmuch as all this lumber and much of the iron production could be moved by water, were the Warrior river de- veloped in accordance with ideas of the shipping board, the complaint from Ala bama can have no other than favorable effect on Director General McAdoo when he considers the report of the inland waterways advisory committee of his administration. As stated in The Age- Herald Sunday, the committee has con- pleted its report, and it is said to be favorable. It is understood that Secre- tary McAdoo will return to Washington tomorrow and that the report will be immediately submitted.

clutches of Rheumatism"
 Any physician will tell you that Rheumatism is a deep- seated blood disease. The pain is not the disease itself, but merely a symptom-nature's warning to you that you have been attacked. The only intel ligent treatment, therefore, is through the blood; treatment directed toward eliminating the disease germ from the blood. For years nearly all the prescriptions used by the med ical profession were those con- taining iodide of potash or mer- curial substances, but in nearly every case these minerals are more injurious to the system than the disease itself.
 One reason why s. s. s. is so successful in the treatment of Rheumatism and other blood disorders is the, fact that it is a purely vegetable remedy, being made from roots and herbs gathered direct from the for ests. It contains not a particle of mineral substance, and acts by driving all disease germs from the blood and cleansing it of all impurities. s. s. s. has been on the market for fifty years, and every druggist has sold it ever since he has been in business. It is sold under an absolute guarantee that it isl purely vegetable.
 Our medical department is maintained for the benefit of the afflicted, and if you will write fully about your case you will be given complete advice as to the treatment necessary for your individual case, for which no charge is made.

 have been set to carding and spinning, weaving and making garments and i bedding for themselves and others, and | thus each dollar does double service. carpentry, tailoring and shoemaking are other branches or the relief work and harvests have been raised from seed supplied New homes have been 1 built and orphauages maintained. Rus sia helped in this relief at first. but now America is the only dependence of these destitute thousands and the need of help is growing more and more acute.
 American missionaries already on the ground have been and are still de- voting themselves to the distribution of thes relief sent from America. They are not now hindered by the authori- ties and their opportunities are lim- ited only by the amount of money sent. In Palestine and Mesopotamia relief work is following closely the British advance. Jerusalem is being rationed by the relief committees, hospitals or- phanages and industrial work have been started and Red Cross and Ar menian and Syrian relief commission left America early in the spring to carry on this reconstructive work The need is terrible. the opportunity great"
 The recent report of the Mohamme- 'dan uprising" said pr. Ussher, lis very discouraging, for it means a great ob- Stacle in the way of relief work, and so in order to do our utmost we must do it quickly and do it at once To America those poor, starving people are looking for a crumb of bread and It must not be withheld for inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these is the beautiful hs~k oF must follow"
 A large crowd turned out to hear Dr. ussher's talk at the First Presbyterian church last night, and were apparently very much moved by the descriptions or the Turkish massacre of the Armen- lans and of the atrocious practices which have been indulged in throughout the war.

One immediate step to that end IS known to be in contempla ton. It has to do with the calling to the colors Of the S00.O00 men which 1t already has been announced will be mobiized through the selective service machinery during the year. Assurances have been given that no great withdrawals of men from agricultural and industrial life would be made at one time, but the in- dications that a statement now being prepared regarding the number of men to be called out first under that plan will show that a larger force will be mobilized this month than had been in- tended before the German drive altered conditions abroad
