Cooperative Effort
 In Humane Work

THE National Tuberculosis asso- 4 citation, with headquarters in New York, has issued a leaflet set ting forth worthwhile facts in con- Inection with the sanatorium campaign
 and the Red Cross Christmas roll call. It is not so much money-raising
 campaign as "drive to secure the membership of every loyal American"
 The Red Cross will supply the funds
 this year "for tuberculosis work that would otherwise be derived through the sale of Christmas seals" The seals will not be sold, but ten of them will be awarded with each Red Cross mem lbership This cooperative plan will lhave excellent results. All anti tuberculosis associations are pledged Ito aid in making the Red Cross roll call a "great and glorious success" !" The members of the Jefferson county association will surely do their part. "You may not be we'll enough to work" says the leaflet, "but re- member that enthusiasm is magnetic. After you have subscribed don't fail Ito secure the Red Cross membership lof your neighbor. This spirit will re- suit in universal membership in your sanatorium."
 The Jefferson county association Ihas come to be recognized as one of |our greatest institutions. It has struggled along year after year with insufficient funds, but it's support in
 the future will be larger and more
 dependable In the meantime it is for |tunate in having at this time the ac- tive cooperation of the Red Cross.

We have snared the armies of the enemy into the fatherland so that you might have a look at them. We have broken the enemys fist with our loyal German noses. We have bruised the enemys toes with the seats of our loyal German pants. We have broken the butts of the enemy's rifles with our loyal German skulls. We have outrun the enemy.

Christmas Dinner
 For Men in Uniform

M0 o soldier, sailor or marine in
 1 N Birmingham on Christmas Day need go without Christmas dinner. Hundreds of men will be entertained in private homes, and it would be a good idea for every citizen to have at least one soldier or sailor guest, if possible, but those who have neither friends nor relatives in Birmingham are assured of cordial welcome and a real old-fashioned southern spread at the Terminal Red Cross hut.
 Canteen workers have made ar- engagements to care for large num- Der If guests. Mrs. J. D. Kirkpatrick, commandant, invites all men in, the service who are in Birmingham on Christmas Day to enjoy the hospitality of these patriotic women who have done splendid work at the Terminal station.
 It is stated that meals will be Served throughout the day. Every man who calls will be given a tur- key feast that will assuage the pangs of homesickness and help him to en- ter into the spirit of Christmas.

When the Tide
of War Turned

LII w dI L LII ACQ THEW writers have contributed so u much to the literature of the war as Otto H. Kahn, banker and man of letters; not one, perhaps, so much of heart and sustained power of ex pression.
 All of his addresses have had the effect of arousing the patriotism of the country and his tributes to the dauntless courage of the soldiers of the allies and the intrepidity of the Americans have been moving in the highest degree.
 MT. Kahn's address at the united war work campaign meeting of the Boston Athletic association, recently published in pamphlet form, entitled, "When the Tide Turned-The Ameri- can Attack at Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood in the First Week of June, 1e1s," is fun of thrill and color. It is a classic, worthy of a permanent place in history.
 MT. Kahn was in France during the week preceding the first battle in which the United States marines par ticipated at Chateau Thierry. He did not speak from hearsay, but from authoritative information gathered on the spot or from his own observa- tions.
 His address is captioned as follows: aWhy the Tide Was Fated to Turn," ~Where the Tide Turned" Gust Be- fore the Tide Turned" "The Turning of the Tide," "The Tide of Our Grati- tude," aThe Tide of Peace"
 In leading up to the climax of his narrative, MT. Kahn refers to s'the general impression that the tide of victory set in with Marshal Foch's splendid movement against the Ger man flank" on July IS.
 "That movement, it is true," says MT. Kahn, "started the irresistible sweep of the wave which was destined to engulf and destroy the hideolss power of Prussianism. But the tide which gathered and drove forward the waters out of which that wave arose had turned before.'
 The American force engaged, in- cluding ..the marines, twas small, measured by the standard of numbers to which we have become accustomed" but "the story of their fighting will remain immortal and in its psycholo- gic and strategic consequences the ac- tion will take rank, believe, among the decisive battles of the war"
 Al MT. Kahn relates it, the heart is stirred and the thrill becomes all the more intense:
 On the 27th of last May, the
 Germans broke through the French

MEN, WOMEN
 AND THINGS

Owing to engagements out in the state have had to miss a. number of the lunches of the allied army at the Tut wiler, but having chance on Thursday did so.
 I dare say I had similar feelings to the actor who had been out on the road transforming at last getting back to the Rialto, or strolling contentedty down club, seeing the old familiar stars, or perchance sitting in box hearing them
 
 It looked mighty natural as I walked in to see handsome debonair, and ever ready Morris Bush in the chair acting as field marshal. I had great desire to go lfp and throw my arms about his neck. He looked so fit and patriotic that he ran the risk of getting a French salute, if such a thing could ever be done by two Americans
  ward to issue his orders of the day laughed so hilariousy at his old jokes, that even Sol Caheen thought that the sergeant -at-arms ought to take me in charge. But to be fair and truthful, ,-J ohm, for as continuous a performer as he is does amazingly well and really springs some new ones But he doesn't have to try to be funny. One look at him puts fellow in good humor. Long may he live to cheer our hearts with his quaint persiflage.
 And when Mrs. R. D. Smith got up to make her report for the Rainbow division, I felt that she was the incarna- tion of the spirit of the women of Bir- ihingham who, during the war. gave made it possible for the Magic City to be the most talked of town in the whole country for the great way in which it got in behind Uncle sam in every de- mand he made upon it, for work at home or abroad.
 
 Then arose Dr. Edmonds. I always hear him with pleasure, but l thought within myself, what new thing can he or any other man tell us about Red Cross. all of the Red Cross literature and having to write article after article about 1t, felt that I was "fed-up on the sub. ject' and I rather sympathized with him for having to respond at the request of the field marshal.
 He had. eight minutes in which to talk, scarcely long enough. I thought, to get in sympathic touch with his audience, but his drill as a four minute speaker stood him in good stead. for he had ac- quired the art of driving straight to the point. and he hadn't been in-action more than two minutes before the vast throng of diners were, so to speak, eating out of his hand" and crying for more

 <. Now this is what my friend Edmonds did. I noticed that the distinguished visitors at the speakers table hung o.. his every word, and Frederick Warde. the great actor, sat entranced, and wei! he might have been, for he was hearing as perfect a bit of after dinner speaking as anyone could wish to hear it mat ters not whether he be an occasional dinerrout or professional who makes

Yet, man may have these and not be able to get his message across There is an indefinite something which preacher, actor or statesman must have to capture and hold an audience. I do not know how to describe 1t, but Ed monds has it.
