WILLIAMS ExACTs PROMISE

While the insistence of the four senators was undoubtedly the deciding factor in securing the Director General ] final assent to our. invitation, we owe much to Superintendent Cliff Williams, MT. Williams some time ago extracted promise from MT. Densmore that he would visit the south at an early date, and MT. Williams claimed the fulfill- ment of that promise in connection with this Birmingham event.
 Second only in interest and import ance to this news from Washington was the word received from Joe Mitchell C'happle of Boston, Mass. to the ef- feet that he so highly appreciates the importance of this Birmingham rally he has broken all other engagements to be here Thursday. A warm personal friend. ship existing between Dr. Woodall and and MT. Chapple contributed largely to the latter's decision.
 Joe Mitchell Chapple is one of the unique figures of American newspaper dom. He is the editor of the National Magazine, and is credited with enjoying personal acquaintance with more pub lie men than any other writer in the country. He has been doing very sue cessful war work with his publication and also by making addresses at great gatherings throughout the country. ais presence here for this rally will con tribute very largely to its success.

Director General John E. Deus-

 ployment service, department of
 labor, and chief of the govern
 ment's great labor recruiting
 service for all war industries,
 will be the guest of the city of
 Birmingham Thursday, incident
 to the big labor efficiency rally which will take place that even ing in Capitol park.
 This good news came yesterday in al most simultaneous telegrams from Sen ator Oscar Underwood and Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi. Its re- ceipt brought much pleasure and satis- faction to General Chairman Percy H. Woodal and Assistant District Superfn- tendent James A. Metcalf
 Director General Densmore was invit- ed through President Wilson, to be here as the personal representative of the na- tion's chief executive, as well as in his direct official capacity. A letter from the Presidents secretary, Joseph Tumul- ty, addressed to District Superintendent Williams stated that, owing 10 the great press of business in his office, MT. Dens more had informed the President he would be unable to come to Bifming- ham at this time.
 PERSISTENCE WON Not content with this outcome, Su perintendent Williams and Federal Di
 rector George B. Tarrant got busy witf | telegrams to Senator Underwood, Senator
 Bankhead, Senator Williams and Sen ! ator-elect Pat Harrison of Mississippi
 asking these gentlemen to bring pres
 sure to bear to have MT. Densmore ac cept. One of the reasons assigned fo l his early declination, coming dire !. ] from his own office, was that MT Dens more must be in Washington on tn, 12th to register. This, of course, he hal | coming here.
 This splendid news not only greatl, ! gratifies us but it also put the clima, upon our plans for this great event o Thursday said Assistant Superintend ent Metcalf. T think Birmingham ma. well consider MT. Densmores visit as distinct honor to the city. Just nov
 he holds probably the most importan position in the government service. fo President Wilson himself has said tha the mobilization of man power in indus try is at present the most importan this is the first invitation of the kin 1 MT. Densmore has accepted since h took charge of this hghly-importan work.

aggressive immobility. There were
no active bears for the profession
ais agree with the investors that
any sales at this time except those
dictated by necessity are liable to
be misunderstood. The confident
feeling was helped by the announce
Inent of Secretary McAdso that to-
tails OF liberty bond sales would
hereafter be made public from day
to day. This set everybody to work
with enthusiasm again and the
street celebrated with a record
breaking meeting in front of the
sub treasury.
American Sumatra reacted on the
good news of an increase of the
dividend from Z to s per cent, as did
also Marine Preferred when an ex-
ira but expected dividend of per
cent was declared. Sinclair Oil,
whose dividend was cut off entire

because the action was expected.
American Telephone held firm de-
spite an expected increase of the
capital stock or financing of some
kind. American Ice, which had been
reactionary yesterday. turned firm.
Good news came from the agri-
cultural regions. There is a mate
rial increase in the acreage of corn
and cotton. In trade circles lower
