 AMERICAN MOTHERS
Lyceum Number at First Baptist Church Last Night Favored With Largest
 Crowd of Course

The bolsheviki does not represent Rus of Russia in her lecture at the First
 Baptist church last night. The number was one of the regular scheduled num- bers of the Birmingham Lyceum course and the largest crowd which has fav
 ored any single number of this course turned out last night to hear Princess Catherine
 In her discourse, which was made in
 partly broken English. she told from ac-
 tual knowledge of conditions existing in Russia. From her description of in
 ternal affairs, it appeared that she is in
 possession of an intimate personal inowl- edge of the politics of the government.
 America's entry into the war was com mented upon at great length and the prediction made that this meant the
 dawn of a world peace. A summary Of the importance of this movement to the rest of the allied nations was made, upon which she commented freely pointing out the significance of the action
 German atrocities were next dealt with and vivid descriptions of the wartime practice of the Huns were given. The princess expressed in frank honesty her sympathy for the American mothers who were sending their boys across the waters to do battle for world free dom She concluded this subject by stating that it is much better that they
 are going lover there" to fight them
 now than that it should be delayed and
 the conflict fall upon our own fields and cities. Many of the boys would never return, she reminded them, and put a question to the audience: But even q safrifice of this kind-is not world wide democracy worth any sacrfice?"

 Among the jolly, good natured party who are always on the Job early with your morning "poipar" there was nor to be found one who seemed. the least bit gloomy. In fact, the party last night had little room to spare a crea- ture of this sort and if there was one among them he certainly did not come out of the theatre with his sorrows.
