At mass meeting of the Birmingham Bar, presided over by E. H. Cabaniss the following resolution was adopted unanimously upon the motion of E. J. Smyer:
 Whereas, The Birmingham District is without representation on either the Su- preme or the Appellate Court of the state and is the district in which more than one-fourth of the entire litigation appealed to those courts arises;
 And, whereas, It is to the interest of justice that there should be upon one, at least, of those courts a lawyer fla miliar with the conditions and customs of the public, the Courts, and the Bar of this district; and,
 Whereas, Our brother, Ex-Judge Rich ard V.

 Therefore, be it resolved That the Bir- rningham bar does indorse Judge Evans position upon the Court of Appeals to be filled at the coming election, and re- specfully solicit the voters of all parts of the State to recognize the justice of our claim and the soundness of our con- tention that this judgeshp should be bestowed upon our candidate"

.HIGH-CLASS MUSICAL ACT HEADL|NER AT
 THE LYRIC THEATRE
Fine Bigtime Attractions on Lyric Bill With Comedy Feature Predominating.
 Screen Telegrams

bill of high grade Keith attrac- tions is the offering at the Lyric for
 the last half of the week and the pro- gramme gives promise of some genuine entertainment. The headline offering is the Bert Earle quartet consisting of Bert Earle, the supreme master of the
 banjo, and three dainty and talented young society girls in high-class mu-
 sieal romedy entertainment. As was said, Bert Earle is q master of his in strument, and infuses soul into the banjo and makes it a thing of sentiment, com edy and pathos in d manner that is both marvellous and entertaining His clever assistants are Miss Bee Earle, saxaphonist; Miss Helen Artz, violinist, and Miss Grace Abbott, aceompanist.
 Another big attraction is Howard and Fields and Lee in their latest success,
 The Dining Car Ministrels,' which is a singing and dancing comedy act with novelty setting and more than the ghost of a plot 1t has to do with two strand ed ministrels who are working their way home as dining car walters. There is a load of laughter as the train iogs along the metaphorical rails and much comedy is interposed.
 The songs and dances of Joe McShane and Aria Hathaway are as bright as freshly minted dollar, and their offering is not only smart but bon-ton as well. McShane has an uncommonly good voice and particularly nmbls feet. and the same applies to Miss Hathaway, who, in addition, is very winsome.
 A novel offering of strength and skill is that of the Belgian Trio, sensational eauilbrists. Some original and daring feats are performed by this trio of well trained athletes and the act is of un- usual merit. The Three kashner Girls iq d novel specially complete the bill! Screen TelegramS will depict world events of more than usual interest.

ANNIHILATE ENEMY DIVISION

It IS regarded as certain, however, that he would not overlook an oppor- tunity to annihilate an enemy division or two, possibly the bulk of General Von Boehm's army, even if the time for more extended counter strokes has not come.
 Accounts of the activities of French airmen during the first day of the bat tie are reaching Washington, giving a vivid picture of the constantly grow = ing part the air forces are playing in modern war. Tons of bombs were dropped on the Germans as they surged forward to cross the Marne Concen- tration points far to the rear, where troops and supply trains waited orders. were hunted out and delu9ed with bombs, while moving columns were harassed with machine gun fire from above. These operations increased the enemys difficulties and are still adding to them.
 On the front east of Rheims, where the Germans hurled in their ranks to make way for the foot soldiers, the French airmen and concentrated light batteries were believed to have fur Eished General Gournaud. the bril- liant French chief, with the means by which he checked the enemy so wig orously that the French war office could report tonight that the allied bdLlic. pOSltloHS all dIOnS tnlS IfOnt were still intact.
 information has reached allied cir cles here which creates an impression that the present German stroke was prompted more by internal economic considerations and by the state of po- ltical unrest in Austria and to a lesser extent in Germany. than by purely mill itary reasons. The nature of the re- ports tending to show this to be the case was not made known, but it was argued today that the selection of the front of attack might be due to the urgent necessity of getting forward at time when the military authorities did not feel justified in pressing against known allied reserve concen- tration in front of Paris and behind Amiens.
 It is regarded as certain the Aus trian fiasco in Italy played some part in the present movement. That dis aster had to be offset and at the same time. with the army budget in diffi- culties in Germany, the effect of a suc- cessful blow in the west might have been very great at home. Extension of the battle to the east of Rheims proba- ply was made, in this view, because of the anticipation this region would be found to be less firmly held than the roads to Paris or the channel ports.
