 Liberty Loan
SENATOR TO GIVE FIRST HAND INFORMATION
Experience Meeting Merged Into Open Air Meeting at Park Scheduled for Tomor-
 row Night

United States Senator William S. Ken yon of Iowa, who has recently returned from the war zone in France, will be in Birmingham tomorrow and Thursday in the interest of the fourth Liberty Loan. He is making a tour of the coun- try under the direction of the national committee of the fourth Liberty Loan, and Birmingham is one of the few cities fortunate enough to secure him.
 At the request of the government Sen ator Kenyon went to France sometime ago to investigate conditions. see for. himself what war is and what the Ger mans have done to the sections of France overrun by them, and he has come back to tell the American people all about it. Those who heard Senator Kenyon when he was here last spring and spoke at the First Methodist church do not have to be told that he is one of the best public speakers in the country, but to those who have not heard him it Is suf- ficient to say that rarely have they been offered such treat in the oratorical line. Senator Kenyon has been in the United States Senate several years and is rated as one of the ablest men in that body. In addition to discharging his duties in that august body since the United States went to war against Ger many he has devoted much of his time to other war work.
