DO WE SHOW THE
 SOLDIERS THAT WE
 APPRECIATE THEM?

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We are congratulating ourselves on our enthusiasm, over sacrifices for the Red Cross and loans to the government, and perhaps on our understanding of the is- sues of the war. But do we deserve con gratula tions? Many of our foremost law yers are working at personal cost in the guidance of the men summoned for the second draft; many of our best doctors have gone to poorly paid duties for the cantonments and hospitals; some of our ministers have joined the Young Mems Christian association service lover there" or at the camps on this side. and yet is Birmingham aroused?
 Yesterday I stood with two friends on First avenue and Twentieth street about o'clock when some troops marched past other Not cheer was raised. until we started it. and then it was feeble, but it brought a smile from some of the boys and a thank you from a few. As they went on their way I heard a feeble renewal of the hand-clapping, but oh so feeble The boys seemed to me to look not only sad but stern. Per haps they had not had their dinner. We who stood there felt that Birmingham was almost indifferent
 The, boys were somebody's boys, so we really care for them, whether they win or lose, whether they are to be killed, wounded, taken prisoners or are to come home victorious and hale? How do they know we care? ITO do good and to com municate forget not. for with such sacri- fees God is we'll pleased'
 Why should not the passing Of troops provoke a generous and immediately spontaneous outbreak of enthusiasm Why should we not warm their heart at the fires of our admiration and love? Why should we not press hospitality upon them2 They are our vicarious sac rifice.
 Why should any of these boys care to fight for men and women who are too busy or too shy to smile at them on their way to the battle line?
 Two things seem to me of practical kind and one of them of the first impor- tance To take the latter first;
 There are those who are praying frankly and unquestioningly, for our sol dlers success Tn the smashing Of the German military power. We know 1t is anti-Christ I venture to invite any two or three who believe in united prayer to meet me Monday at 12l2 Empire build- ing. at l2:05 for 20 minutes un- interrupted prayer. If the result shall be daily gathering at a convenient place for such a purpose, it will be well. For the shadow of a tremendous peril is thrown across the world.
 The other task will perhaps be under- taken by the Civic association, in con- junction with the war department viz: to offer hospitable greetings and perhaps lunches to wayfaring groups or masses of our boys in khaki. With due deference yours GEORGE EAvES.

Oliver Thinks Marion Will
 Get an Aviation Camp

Tuscaloosa, February 22.-(Special) That government aviation school may soon be established near Marion, in Perry county. is the opinion of Con- gressman w. B. Oliver, who is spend ing today in Tuscaloosa after going over various proposed sites in Dallas and Perry counties with representa- tives of the aviation board.
 Congressman Oliver spent Wednes- day with the inspectors in Perry coun- ty and said that the sites offered and general conditions in the black belt section made a deep impression on the members of the party. He says that the inspectors found that territory mere favorable than perhaps any other section of the country, except possibly in the prairies of the west. They saw the country at it's worst-deep in mud but the general contour of the ter ritory made it's impression.
 Congressman Oliver expresses the belief that the government will take over the Warrior river for shipping purposes following the report of Rep resentatives A. J. Mason and Charles Bontecou of the shipping board, who recently inspected the river

"Molly Dear''


 Andrew Mack, who has done much in warm in the hearts of our theatregoers, will be the attraction at the Jefferson Tuesday, Wednesday,, Thursday, matinee Thursday. His latest offering is Molly Dear" romantic play by Cecil E. De Mile, the scenes of which are placed on the west coast of Ireland at the present day, and the author has found opportu- nity in the wild setting of the Conne- mara mountains to work in glimpses of the violent whimsical natures of the na- tive fishermen.
 While Molly Dear is essentially comedy drama, there are several in- tensely dramatic scenes in it that bring it close to the verge of excellent melo- drama Of a high class. The role of Dan O Brien fits Andrew Mack as he has been fitted but few times in all his career. It affords him ample opportunity for the use of his inimitable Irish manner isms and delicious brogue, while it dis plays his capabilities for strong dramatic acting. His fine tenor voice will be heard in several song numbers of his own com position, two of which are rapidly be- coming popular throughout the country.
 Lyric

Harry Thorn and company.

Oklahoma Ciyt, Feb. 21-United
States Food Administrator Herbert
Hoover in a telegram to H. c. Tyrell,
state director of the United States
Reserve, today says:
"The problem Of getting food to
our soldiers overseas and the war
workers of the allies and the womea
and children includes not only the
finding of the food but the finding
of the ships in which to send it. No
amount of increased production, de
creased foor use, or general food
substitution and saving will help un-
less the ships are available for send
ing the saved food over there.
my anxieties about ships are no
less numerous and various than
those about food itself, hence 1t is
with the utmost earnestness that |
endorse the idea of creating a valun-
tary reserve Of men from which the
man power necessary to solve the
great problem of shipping can be re
cruited as rapidly as it can be used.
"There are many more ways than
fighting by which the loyal men Of
America can do their share in win
ming the war. Not all can fight
all can help in some way. For every
army of fighters there is necessarv
much larger army Of loyal eager
men devoted to the maintenance Of
fighting unit One is as essential
and truly patriotic a service as the
ether. so by all means let US enroll
voluntary corps OF men from which
the necessary man power for the
ship yards can be recruited. :.
