COLBERT COUNTY RETAINS LIBERTY LOAN ORGANIZATION United WarWork Campaign to Be Handled by Same
 FOrce-G0Od Results
 Anticipated

The fourth Liberty Loan organization that achieved such remarkable success in Colbert county has been retained almost in it's entirety for the united war work campaign. John H. Peach is the county chairman.
 John D. Rather of Tuscumbia, who with J. Lee Andrews, headed the Col bert county committee. was in Birming- ham Thursday and stated that the suc- cess of the fourth Liberty Loan in his county was gratifying surprise, in spite of the influenza situation. He expects similar results for the united war work campaign
 The quota of Colbert county for the fourth Liberty Loan was fixed at s5oo,Uo The bond sales were over Sll5o,0p" said MT Rather. "Tuscumbia's allotment was s5o,000, 1t took $l0s. 900 of the bonds sheffields was fixed at silO.oOo, and went over s160000. Air Nitrate Plant No. was assessed s25,0O0 and went over y4OOUo. The big cyanamid plant No. 2. more than doubled it's allotment which was fixed at s220,000. The men there bought s495,VOO worth of bonds.
 One of the most gratifying features of
 
 the drive was the manner in which the colored people worked and subscribed Their allotment was sl0,OoD and they bought more than sl2.5oo of the bonds
 "The smaller towns did quite as well m proportion as did the industrial cities and altogether We have reason to feel gratified at the record Colbert county has made. Mrs. James T, Kirk is or ganizing the women of the county for the united war work campaign and We have every reason to expect a very suc- cessful drive in that part of the state,'

WOMEN OF STATE {. UNFALTER|NG IN DEVOTION ID DUTY State Chairman Relates h. stances Where Women
 Foil Under Adverse
 Circumstances

In their valedictories to the state chair man Mrs. Solon Jacobs, the county chairmen of the women's Fourth Lib erty Loan campaign relate many in- stances of unfaltering devotion to duty and to country by the women under ad- verse circumstances. In nearly every county the work was badly hampered by the influenza epidemic and in all of them either that or some other dis ease interfered to greater or lesser extent with their work. Despite all of this they made a splendid record, in many of the counties raising double the quotas allotted to them, and in all equal ing or exceeding it.
 Mrs. Jacobs is highly elated over the good record made by the women Tn the state and they, Tn turn. are unstlnted in their praise of her for the hearty cooperation she gave them at all times

American Democracy Is the Andoe for German Autocracy

Every of our wars has been for the same
purposes to liberate the common man.
The Revolution of 1875 was to get the priv
legged class of England off the backs of the Amer
lean Colonlsts who were redeeming this wilderness.
The War of 1872 was to rescue American sea-
men from oppression.
The Mexican War was to berate the settlers
of Texas from the whimsy cruelty of Mexico.
The Spanish War was to save the people of
Cuba from the tyranny of the Spanish Government
Every time army and navy have gone forth
it has been to clean up some filthy autocracy.
But all of our wars have been but preparation
for present task. We did. not realize it. No
man foresees his Destiny, no nation foresees its
mission. Yet the life of every nation, as of every
man. is plan of God
God has been pi1ing up riches on this con-
tinent until we are the wealthiest nation in the
world He has been sharpening our inventive skill

and our business ability. Our training has been
intensive.
Now God says, "America you are come of age
All have done for you is to prepare you for the
present conflict, for your real work. Go forth and
make the world decent place to live In"
At this time every son of America is called
upon to do his utmost. The Stacker is a traitor
We are sending men across the ocean. men who
are physically and mentally the pick of the world
an Incompatible army. But the men at home must
back them up.
1t is as much our solemn duty to put our money
into the Fourth Liberty Loan as it is the duty of
the soldier to stand firm at his post in battle.
This Fourth Liberty Loan is to be our supreme
effort. God helping us. we shall not be found

THE STRANC
"The Kaiser, the Beast Of Berlin
Today and Tomorrow.

THE Kaiser the Beast of Berlin" is
big attraction at the Strand for today
and Saturday. The whole brutal truth
about the Kaiser and his lust-mad mil
lions is presented in this remarkable
film in q manner that raises the blood
of the spectator TO the boiling point.
The Mad dog of Europe is SHOWN up
Enthusiastically as the menace TO all

whose vain ambition to enslave the en-
tire world causes him to scrap SOL

spread untold miseries among his own
people. at the same time smothering
all humanitarian impulses at home with
the mailed fist
The production Of THE Kaiser. the
Beast Of Berlin is not a picture OF
battlefelds bu. it does show the inner
life of the Kaiser, his vain egotism and
domneering desire for more and moro
power over struggling peoples. The pic
ture shows a series OF startling events
that lead up 10 the present war, includ-
ing the incident wherein the Kaiser was
felled 70 the floor unconscious BY a
smash on the Jaw from an enraged
young Prussian officer. Incidentally. the
ate OF this impulsive young officer is
shown. The withered arm which
caused the war-crazed monarch TO curse
his own mother also plays an important
part III the telling of the drama
Later the declaration against unpre-
pared nations and the invasion and de
vastation of Belgium with all Of its
brutalities are shown. The sinking OF
the Lusitania brings Ambassador Gerard
into the story and his audience with the
Kaiser brings out the famous defiant
statements of the mad ling toward
America. After this war will stand

Kaiser anC the American Ambassador
