 Birmingham people will be denied the privilege of seeing the great Liberty Day pageant planned by the fourth Liberty Loan committee for tomorrow, but their disappointment will in part at least be somewhat lessened by the appearance early tomorrow morning of a dozen army. airplanes in battle formation flying over the city. These planes are coming from Payne field, West Point, Miss, under the command of the commandant of that field, and he announces that he will lead his squadron through a num- Der of maneuvers and pull off several flying acrobatic stunts that will thrill the spectators.
 FLEET TO ARRIVE
 The fleet will arrive in Birmingham about 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, so the commandant informed County Chairman Murray Brown over the long distance telephone yesterday; perform in the air above the city un- til about noon, land in the State Fair grounds for a rest, then rise and after another exhibition leave for the return trip to Payne field.
 These ships will fly over all parts of the city so that it will be unnecessary for the people to go downtown, or gather at any particular place. The residents on the Highlands, north or south, Avondale, West End and every other part of the city will be able to get a good view from his own home.
 "Stay home and see the show" urges Chairman Brown. You cannot see it any better by coming downtown than from your own home. And by staying home you will be helping the health department to curb and control the in- f1uenza epidemic"
