The largest auditorium in Birming- ham, that of the First Methodist church, has been chosen as the place where the former American ambas- sador to Turkey, Henry Morgenthau, shall address the people of this city in opening the United war work cam paign next Monday night.
 It first was planned that the diplomat should speak to the allied armies at the Tutwiler hotel, but this plan was changed by the army commanders in order that the greatest possible number of people might hear, Mir. Morgenthau ana tha' the campaign might obtain wider benefit from the message he brings to Alabama from the far and near east.
 The allied armies will dine with the distinguished guest at the Tutwler ana it Is expected that he will have some thing to say on that occasion, but his big speech, the heavy artillery of his oratory, will be turned loose at the First Methodist church after the dinner.
