|M\H ITH it's motto, Love Sacrifice.
 W\V Servicer-love of womankind
 and of humanty-sacrifice of everything to attain the aim-seryice in every possible way, with the help of the God of us all, the Birmingham Associa- tion of Business and Professional W om- en assumes definite form and promises 10 be one of the most influential organ izations of the day.
 Scarcely more than an infant in arms, the association now numbers 75 repre- sentative, energetic, enthusiastic mem Ders, with Miss Margaret McArdle as president, Miss Annie Lynch as first vice president, Miss Abble Jackson as second vice president Miss Maude Davis as treasurer, and Miss Katherine Holt as secretary, While a splendid publicity committee composed of Miss Ellen Wood. chairman; Miss Mary L.

  and co-operati ton.
 The inspiration for the organization of the Birmingham Association Of Business and Professional Women came through call early i'll May from the national board of the Young Women's Christian association from all sections of the Unit ou states, recognizing as this splendid orsanization does that there is a power within the business girl that has only been used heretofore in specific forms or work, and that broader, more mag haihmons use might be made of the wom- an power or the world in these serious days and times and this could be done through organization
 blrmingham and the south central field was apiy represented at this conference by Miss Annie Lynch one of the most capapie, broad minded and well equipped young women in this community
 MISS Lynch attended the two days con- ference in New York, where women of national and international fame in the business world met-25 strong-and told or their experiences, their aims and ob- lects and the obstacles which beset the business woman and how to overcome them.
 The main points of discussion by this committee of 25--doctors, lawyers, writers, teachers, stenographers bookkeepers, women in all lines of business were, first, the, needs of young women in these days OF war and the opportunity for service among them, and second. a method of developing the power of the business woman to the fullest extent in order that she may be most useful, especially Tn time Of crisis, such as the present, and in order that she may take her place in the affairs of the world, serve creditably and receive the proper consid- eration.
 The questions were: Shall we work as group-- -how-why-and where? What Kind of service, and how can that serv- ice be rendered? How can we best mobilize? How can we help to meet the need of national adjustment in the light of d new world?
 In brief some of the answers were:
 That we should work as group abso- lutely; as group we might be of help in national problems of the present day

WHAT IS SOLD TO EUROPE

In nearly four years this company has sold to our allies in Europe and to the United States government considerably more than l5OO,00o,0O0 pounds of explo- sives of all kinds. Furthermore, it has sold 125000,OOO pounds of special ammuni- tion. 5o,oOo,0oo caps. and 206, ,000,o 900 pounds Of black powder pellets.
 The aggregate amount in money of the military contracts up to July 1 is s1,0l1,- 0OO,O00. And compared with military busi- ness alone, in the best year before the war the aggregate money value of it's output was 100000
 Colonel Buckner nas figured to show that whatever profits the company has gained are due more to efficient work and lowering the cost of production than to high prices. Furthermore, the com pany scaled down the price of the ex- plosives month by month until on July they were lower than was the case before the war, notwithstanding that the cost of labor and of everything that en- ters into intuition making has increased enormously. Other corporations are aid ing the government greatly in establish ing plants, in making munitions in fur msEing hiSh-grade explosives, so that 1t is now believed at Washington that what ever the requirements of our armies may be, however large the number of men sent abroad may be, nevertheless Amer ican industries are fully equal to meet ing the enormous demand which will be made upon them for adequate supplies of explosives. munitions and equipment for our armies.

Col Buckner's Work
 In Powder Making
RY HOLLAND

New York, July 17.-(special.)-Col Ed mend Y. Bucllner, who is a son of Ken lucky, is believed to be of the family or near of kin to the family of Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, one of the great gen. erals of the Confederate army, who was in command at Fort Donison when Gen. eral Grant captured that fort, and who held Grant in such high esteem, although opposed to him in the Civil war, that he insisted in spite of his age, upon go- ing to New York so that he might with others, take part in the ceremonies as- sociated with the funeral of General Grant,
 Whatever proper pride Colonel Buck ner may feel as he contemplates his fam ily' relation to the distinguished general of the Confederate army, he must also regard with justifiable qualification some of the achievements which it has been possible for him to make since we en- tered into the war as an ally of Great Britain, France and Italy
 Before our declaration of war against Germany, Colonel Buckner had attained high rank in that consider ble company of very able business men of the United states. He was vice president of the DuPont-DeNemours company, and that organization has done a remarkable work. remarkable in size, in the amount of the products it manufactured for the gov ernment and also for our allies, and in the magnitude of the money which work of this kind has made it necessary to eXpend and which the company has re- ceived
 There are many excellent authorities who are persuaded that before the Unit ed States became one of the allies it was in considerable measure the supplies. munitions and powder which this corpor- auon furnished Great Britain that aided the British government in maintaining and then strengthening her armies in. France. Under Colonel Buckners direc- ton l,5OO,oO0,00O pounds of explosives have been manufactured for our allies and our selves and this aid was one of the chief reasons why Germany has complained that but for the assistance of the United States Great Britain and France would have been crushed at least a year be- fore the United States became one of the allies.
 FURNISHING MEN ALSO
 Explosives were not the only aid given to the American government by this company, It has furnished men as well as powder and in the American army Of France or in our training camps to- day there are 1868 men who were before their enlistment or before they were drafted into the service, employees of this company
 The moment that President Wilson gave passports to the German ambassador and sent him across the seas this corpora tion realized that we were upon the eve of entering the war, Colonel Buckner and others put themselves in communica- tion with the government, strongly urg- ing that very large new plants be es- tablished as speedily as possible for the manufacture of powder and other muni- tions of war Colonel Buckner in re- cent address said that as soon as Con- gress declared war against Germany, his

corporation was ready with suggestions for locations, layouts and plans for the establishment of powder plants. Already the company had built large plants solely for the purpose of supplying to the allies explosives and other munitions of way But if the United States were to enter the war and it were necessary to equip at least 100000 men, then it was beyond all question vital that the government secure additional capacity for powder production with which to supply the army.

MOVES SLOWLY AT FIRST

Preparedness was not then fully un- derstood either at Washington or by a large part of the people. Furthermore red tape interfered with the speedy be- ginning of plans for the establishment Of powder plants. Not until March, 1918, according to Colonel Buckner was it possible for the corporation to begin the construction of smokeless powder plant at Nashville. Colonel Buckner was in position to say in the latter part of June that this plant, when completed, and it's history written, will become traditional as the most wonderful achievement ever performed In the history of powder mak- ing. The entire plant is to be 70 times as large as the largest powder plant in the United States before we entered the war
 A few statistics furnished by Colonel Brckner will give better understanding of the magnitude of this undertaking. The plant itself stands upon an area three miles in length and one and one half in width. It will require 1,5O0 ,Oe0 pounds of nitrate of soda and 675,000 pounds of sulphur day. It>will burn i5Oo tons of coal every 24 hours. It will call for 1000O0,00O gallons of water every 2 hours. At least 25,00o men will be uror its pay roll. The company in it's agreement with the government provd- el that it would do this enormous con- structive work at actual cost and without

ROCKY DEF|LE IS
TAKEN BY ITALY
Nv SIS
(By Associated Press


Headquarters of the Italian Army,
krril 22.-( Correspondence of the AS
5ociated Press.)-Thare is narrow
pass on he mountin front of the
Craps which has given the Italians
lot of trouble up to a short time
ago. 1t is a rocky defile with cliffs
rising sheer trousand feet on either
side. Through this narrow passage it
was necessary for the men to GO every
cay in handling supplies. But as they
passed they were picked off one by
one by an Austrian sharpshooter in q
cavern near the top of the cliffs. Here
he had been lowered from the enemy
lines along the side of the cliff, and
here food was lowered and the deadly
fusilade kept up day after day.
1t was recently observed, however,
that strange change came over the
operations from. the cliff. The shots
rang out as usual whenever an Italian
soldier went through the pass, But,
singularly, no man ever fell. The
shots always went wide of the mark.
The cunning of the sharpshooter APP
peared to be at an end. This contin-
ucd for days, with the Italians going
back and forth safely, and the aimless
and idle shots ringing out from the
3nemy post in the cliff.
The Italians finally made a dash to
Gear ou the place, their batteries
pouring shots into the cavern while a
scaling party entered it from one side,
In the lead of the climbing party was
Lieut. Guglielminetti, and as he rush
ed into the cave singular sight was
before him Stretched on the ground
was an Austrian soldier dying from
an Italian wound But though in the
green gray uniform of Austria, the
wounded man raised himself on his el-
bow drew a tiny, Italian flag from un-
der his coat, and in faint voice ex-
claimed: "Vivegj' Italia"
The dying man had only time to
whisper his Ss1elv. He was Giorglo
Avanzini, NEPHEW Of the socialist dep
uty REPRESENTING the city Of Trent in
the Austrian parliament. Like all the
people of Trent and the Trentino, he
was an Italian by instinct though for
ced by the political situation of Trent
under Austria to enter the Austrian
army. As son as he found himself in
the Austrian lines at the top Of the
cliff, and hec had been detailed for the
dangerous task of being lowered to the
cavern TO pick off Italian soldiers as
they passed, being under observation,
be kept his rifle going, the shots rang
out regularly, but Ayanzini took good
care that no shot found its mark in an
Italian soldier.

PAY HOMAGE TO DEAD.
(By Associated Press)


With the American Army in
France, May 30.-FrOm Flanders to
Switzerland and from the battle line
to the sea the American expedition
airy forces today paid homage to their
dead. Flags were at half mast. Be-
fore the end of the day the Ameri-
can flag and flowers Will be placed on
virtually every American grave.
At one place in the vicinity of
Luneville the graves were decorated
in the morning darkness when the en-
emy couldn't see clearly, for soldiers
performing that duty might have
drawn the German fire, as did the
burial party. Here both American
nd French flags were placed on the
graves. but punches of blood red
peoples and yellow and white daisies.
The German air attack Tuesday
night upon American hospitals in a
town many miles behind the front
was conducted with apparent deliber-
alton. The Germans used umbrella
flares as an aid in locating their tar
gets. Their bombs started fire in
garage. which Illuminated the neigh
bOrho0d, where four of the finest ca
thedrais in France are located. The
airmen urned machine guns OH fire
men and ambulance drivers. Besides
killing one French nurse and prob
ably mortally wounding another, fly
. ing glass hurt number and patients
in one ward were hurled from their
beds by bomb explosions in some
cases.
