ku klux Klan Warns
Idlers in Alabama

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 7.-One
hundred and fifty white-robed men, in
Ku Klux Klan uniform. carrying an
American flag and fiery cross at the
head of the procession, rode through
Birmingham last night, warning idlers
to find work to do.
The riders distributed cards saying
the United States is at war; that every
man is needed-except those whose at
titude is hostile to the government
and that the khan intends to see that
there is no idlcness. The cards say, in
part:
"lf you would be justly entitled to
the liberation and protection you are
enjoying, find work to do and do it.
No able-bodied man, rich or poor, has
Z right to consume without producing.
Take heed and go to work. The eye
of scrutiny is upon you.
"Be respectful to the flag of our
country and loyal TO the government.
Aid by every means at your command
the suppression of disloyalty by either
speech, or action. The Ku Klnx Khan
is pledged to the enforcement of the
above tenets."

Aside from the wage question, the

Clemenceau Reports That
Weight of u. S. Is Being
Felt on Battle Line

Hindered by heavy weather, the Ger.
man armies in Flanders and
Picardy yesterday passed another
day without undertaking major
operations. Their harassing artil-
lery fire has kept the British and
French expectant and ready for
the blow which must fall as soon
as Ludendorff thinks the condi-
tions favorable.
While the enemy is building concrete
roads and drawing up his guns
the Allies are reinforcing their
lines at every point. American
troops are going into the trenches
in increasing numbers, Premier
Clemenceau reported yesterday on
his return from the front line.
Confidence in the invincibility of the
Allied troops and their ability to
break down any Teuton assault is
expressed by the Allied leaders.
Time is working against the Ger
man aim to split the Anglo-F French
armies.
The intense hammering of the guns
near Arras and south of Ypres
had slackened somewhat yester-
ady. But the Germans continued
to hurl destruction on the Allied
back areas around Ypres, while
the British and French bombarded
the German roads and concentra-
tions. North and south of the
Avre and along the Lys the great
guns roared furiously all day.
Both sides carried out raids on the
opposing trenches. South Of Bri-
mont German raiders crossed the
Aisne Canal and captured a few
prisoners in the British positions

Baker s Aid a Soldier

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, May IA visit
to the trenches and American train
ing camps in France has convinced
Ralph Hayes, private secretary to
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker,
that he must get into the fight to
crush Hunism without further de-
lay.
On their return, Hayes informed
the Secretary of his decision, and
obtained Mr.. Bakers aid in getting
his place in the draft advanced so
he would be called at once. He took
the physical examination to-day and
soon will be in uniform.
Hayes came here from Cleveland,
where he was associated with Mr.
Baker. His position as private Sec
retary to the Secretary or War is
by far the most important in Wash
lngton held by so young a man. AL
though only about twenty-five years
old, Hayes knows and keeps to him
self the military secrets possessed
by the War Department.

Two German machines also went to
earth during the battle in a crippled
condition.
Captain Halls home is Colfax, Iowa.
James Norman Hall Joined the Brit
lsh army in London in August, 1914.
After year and half in the service
he obtained his discharge and returned
to the United States on private busi-
ness. AS soon as possible he returned
to France and there enlisted in the
Lafayette Escadrille. 1t was shortly
after this that his book "Kitchener's
Mob" was published.
on FeDruary 8, 1913, he was trans
ferred to the American army from the
Lafayette Escadrille and on March 2
he brought down two German airplanes
in fight lasting but seven minutes.
On March 13 he was awarded the Dis
tlngulshed Service Cross of the United
States army and the same day that this
signal honor was reported there came
another dispatch telling of his Destroy
ing one German airplane and forcing
two others to land.
The last known exploit in which
Captain Hall figured occurred On May
2. when, with Eddie Rickenbacher, the
former automobile racing driver, he
brought down two German machines.
Captain Hall is thirty years old and
a graduate of Grinnell College.

"HIs ROBE OF HONOR" AT PALACE
THEATRE JUNE 2l-22.

Having established himself as one of
the foremost delineators of intense types
the screen has borne and having enacted
many of the most notable roles in the
realms of the silent drama, Henry B..
Walthall will appear at the Palace
Theatre for two evenings. commencing
June 2lst, in His Robe of Honor,
which marks his debut as a star in
Paralta Plays.
In His Robe of Honor. which is
from the pen Of E,hei and James Dor
rance, Mr.. Walthall will be seen in the
role of Julian Randolph, disreputable
lawyer, who becomes an upright judge
of the Supreme Court of the State of
New York under the refining influence
of a Young woman of high social posi-
tion whose innate force Of character
fans his spark of manhood into flame
of noble character. The struggles of
the awakened soul of the man reaches
a climax when the issue seemingly is
that a duty performed will have as its
reward impeachment and disgrace, while
recreance will bring honor and position.
Which will be chosen? The unraveing
of the tanglement which brings happi-
ness to those who have fought so hard
gives Mr.. Walthall a most unusual op-
portunity TO run the entire gamut of
dramatic emotions.
