 My Dear Sir: received your letter of the 7th instant, enclosing me copy of a telegram you have forwarded to the President I am sure that your sus- gestion is an llent one, and I shall be glad to back up what you have said.

Although peace is here, as an established fact by the signing of the armistice, it may be pos- sible that the President may regard 1t as inopportune to issue the proclama- tion you suggest until the final treaty of peace Is signed. With kindest TO- >gards. I am. very truly yours.

STAFF CAPTAIN COE

The luncheon of the allied armies at the Tutwiler hotel yesterday was fea- tured by a short address from Staff Captain Coe the noted Salvation Army worker, who has just returned from stay of a year and half on the eastern front He spoke briefly of the activities of the Salvation Army in supplying the 'doughboys with doughnuts and other delicacies while they were in the front line trenches.
 i've never met an American soldier but what believed that his division could lick the whole German army" he said. Each man thinks his division is abso- lutely the best in France. Our branch of the Salvation Army was cited for service at Chateau Thierry and at St. Mihiel by the commanding general and by the division surgeon.
 "All of these seven allied war causes must be supported" said Captain Coe. because the necessity for their existence is even greater now than when the men were occupied in fighting. likeness and inactivity, unless combated with whole some amusements and clean sports, are apt to breed vice"

Give a days pav.n'-

This slogan is being echoed and re-echoed through every nook and corner of Jefferson county and so magnificently are people responding that at the close of work yesterday about $125,000, or one-third of the quota of $375, 1000, had been subscribed to the united war work fund.
 This amount, in view of the fact that many committees have not re- ported at all since the drive began, is very encouraging to the generals at headquarters, but they are anxious to impress upon the public that every man must donate the amount of a days pay in order to do the thing up in true Birmingham style.
 Realizing that the battle for American manhood has just begun" and that only through the seven agencies represented in the united war work campaign car the boys over there receive recreation and entertainment for their idle moments the allied armies are straining every muscle to see that Birmingham, by q big oversubscription, stands by her brave boys as they stood by her

American public opinion, which is ex-
pected to favor construction of navy
equal to that Of Great Britain if the
league of nations is not formed, will
play most important part as a de-
termining factor in the discussions.
Plain Speaking Expected
Plain speaking is certain in the
preliminary conferences next week, but
the Americans anticipate the most
friendly cooperation from the Allied
premiers. The President does not re-
gard himself as master of the situation,
though his position is strong because
of the Allies acceptance of his fourteen
principles and of the expected support
of neutrals.
The President is known to feel that
the delegates are not sitting as mas
tiers of any nation, but as representatives
of the new world to determine the
greatest issues of all times. And he
believes that any peace which would
leave hatreds as the breeding ground
for future wars would be a repetition
of the congress of Vienna and dark
spot in history.

The commaudant personally turned
the first shoveliul OF clay towards
the transformation OF the place.
Thousands and thousands OF

Hills and mounds disappeared un-
der the countless spades, pick and
scoops. Morning, noon and until
the sounding of taps at night the

Instead OF the usual rolling OF

on the cinders to settle them cor

the quarter mile track as never a
track has been lined before. Sailor
carpenters waved their hammers and
up went the seats.
Probably 10000 persons will wit
