Birmingham Must Raise Her Quota of 9 Men by August 1 and Men Are
 Solicited

Urgent appeals continue to come to the Birmingham army Y. M. c. A. recruit ing committee for more of the various types of men needed in the stupendous overseas work. Alabama has been as sessed a quota of 100 to be secured before August l this year, and to get this mum Der will require energetic work on the part of the members of the committee, composed of Judge William F. Fort chairman: vassar Allen, Rev. J. w. Johnson. pr. P. H. woodall and c. L. Harold.
 Chairman Fort of this committee is at tempting to clear up a vague idea on the part of the public that only men of religious or social organizing experience are needed
 Tt is not only social, religious and reoreational secretaries that we need,' said Judge Fort yesterday, but men of business. capacity, motor mechanics, ex- perienced storekeepers for canteens, man ufacturng experts, those who have had experience in construction of all sorts. Of course, except in rare instances, which any of the committee will be glad 10 6Apiaiu OH appliCdlIOH, OIllS ilSi above the present draft age will be con- sidered for the overseas work. There is the further requirement., of course, that these patriotic volunteers shall be of sound health and furnish recommenda- tions of good character
 It is hard to conceive of greater op- portunity to serve ones country in this great crisis than for busy men to sacri. flee commercial profits for helping tc sustain the morale of the American fight CTS abroad. President Wilson has sait that the spirit with which our men enter the' battlefields of France depends upor the moral support given by the American people at home and following them eleAf up to the gun positions and the trenche. in the plan of the Y.
