URGED
TO INCREASE
COAL OUTPUT
Cardinal Gibbons Requests
Clergy to Use Influence
With Workers.

Expressing the hope that the
clergy would do all in their power
to urge mine workers to their high
est efforts In the production of coal.
his eminence. Cardinal Gibbons. has
written the following letter to U.
s. Fuel Administrator Harry A.
Garfield:
My Dear Mr.. Garfield:
II have read with great pleasure
the proclamation Of the President
Of the United States with regard
to the fuel situation. Like q great
many other Americans have been
very much alarmed at the outlook
for next winter. 1t is to be hoped
that those whose business It 10 tc
get coal out OF the earth will see
how much depends upon their labor
and what q patriotic work they
perform in providing that which II
really at the present time the
sinews OF war.
Responsibility on All Men.
The very fact that we have con-
scription puts . responsibility or
every man in the country either Il
fight or to work. as the government
may think most necessary for the
public good. The very fact that GER
tain kinds OF workers are put in q
deferred classification 10 to my mind
an indication to them that their rea
duty 10 to do that particular kind oi
work, because through the partic'
ular kind OF work which they car
perform the country will be mort
greatly helped and the war more
easily won. But just as It 10 the duty
OF those who are called to fight. tc
fight bravely and to allow theiI
patriotism to be the informing prin.
ciple of their courage, so Is 1t neces-
sary that those who work should work
In the same strenuous and patriotic
manner.
There are, think, two classes oi
people who can help very much In
this regard. The first class is COM
posed OF the families and neighbori
OF the men who are put into a de-
ferred classification. As the President
has so truly said. these people should
treat the men who are working. when
often they would much rather to
fighting. with the greatest respect
and should show that they recog-
nize and honor the patriotism which
holds men to their posts In the coal
mine as well as the patriotism which
holds a man firm in the trenches.
Clergy Must Do Part.
The other class which I think
could be Of very great assistance
at this time is the clergy, and / sim
cerely hope that every minister OF
religion. especially in the mining dis
tricts. will put before his congre-
cation the great principle that pa
triotism is devotion to country: that
those who love their country must
serve their country IN the most ac-
ceptable way. and must give their
services. not where they would
choose, but where the government
thinks they could be most useful:
and that those who DO stay behind
to work must remember that they
are working for their country and
are holding up the hands OF their
countrymen now fighting across the
seas, and that therefore they must
put every ounce OF energy and man
hood into the work which they arc
asked to do.
Il hope for the very best effects
from the Presidents proclamation.
with kind regards. I am. my dear
Mr.. Garfield.
Yours very sincerely.

FRENCH LABOR MAN
WANTS WILSON TO
COME TO EUROPE
Editor Loyson Says Visit
May Bring Final De-
cision in War for
Liberty


Paris, May PA visit to Europe by
President Wilson aas our supreme war
lord for peace by victory may bring
the final decision in the war. says Paul
Hyaciathe Loyson, editor of the Rights
of Man, in a statement prepared for the
Associated Press concerning the Amer
lean labor delegation which has just
completed its visit to France
NJ Loyson attaches the greatest i'm
portance to the moral support given by
America to France. which feels the strain
of nearly four years, of war. He states
that the, action. of the socialists. VINO as
part in an International socialist con-
ference in which representatives of en-
envy countries participated, was of deep
est significance.
"A political result of unparalleled inn
portauce was achieved when all the
healthy sections of the socialist party
rallied TO the cause of American labor i'll
waving their former acceptance of the
plan Tor a conference with enemy social
ists,' III. Loyson writes. This is the
greatest political event in Europe since
the Russian revolution. Arperica must
continue and intensity such normal sup
port for of what avail could be yolr

France, which is your battlefield should

test. You must help us to win our moral

final decision will be made sure by

continent as our supreme war lord tor

Referring to the American labor dele
cation with which he visited the French
front, M. Loyson said:
"In sending over this delegation as
much has been done for the salvation
of France as by Secretary Baker in dis
patching an army to our 'front.'
Never have our men been in such
high spirits since 1914, but allowance
must be made for certain nervous
strain at the rear as a consequence of
46 months of war. Moreover this nat
ural phenomenon has been deliberately
exploited by a small number of per-
verted persons who advocate a patched
up peace. For whole week these poll
iticians have made desperate pressure
On the American delegates to bring

Home Service Work Now
Highly Important Fea-
ture of Local Red
Cross Effort
BY ETHEL GILLEN

The home service training institute
| is entering upon it's fifth week, having
opened in Birmingham on April is, with
a full attendance of 30 students. This
training institute is held under the aus
pieces of the gulf division of the Amer
lean Red Cross and many students are
attending from Mississippi and Louisi-
ana, as well as Alabama, indicating
the widespread interest being taken by
the various chapters in the home serv-
ice training. Miss Sarah B. Gober of
the division opened the course which
is under the direct supervision of Miss
NJ Gdday and Miss McMain of New
Orleans.
The development of home service sec
tons in each chapter is made neees-
sary by the development of the home
service stations in the cantonments, as
the one is absolutely necessary to the
other. The Red Cross representatives
in the camp cannot relieve the worries
of man in the service unless there is
a home service section near the man S
referred, assured of sympathetic, intel
ligent attention.
1t is almost impossible for chapters
having no home service section to
promptly reply to letters regarding
these cases, which have been referred
through the division office
FOLLOW-UP LETTERS
In many instances several follow-up
letters from the already busy office
are necessary the period of delay and
the anxiety caused by uncertainty as to
the needs of the families under consid-
Grafton, the possible privations which
they may have to undergo while await
ing assistance is of much more i'm
portance. "A worried soldier makes a
poor soldier and the effect produced on
a soldier when he is made to feel that
the Red Cross is not doing its part by
the family at home, while he is Civ
ing his all to his country, is detri-
mental, to say the least.
After six weeks of intensive train
ing in Red Cross methods of service to
soldiers and sailors families, these
women will return to their homes pre-
pared to give the home service sections
of their respective chapters the benefit
of their experience. These classes are

GERMANS MADE
TO BELIEVE THAT
U-BOATS SUCCEED

Amsterdam, Saturday, May 11,-In a
debate IN the Reichstag today on the
second reading of the naval estimates,
as reported in a Berlin dispatch, Herr
Pflager, oentrist, said on behalf of the
main committee that even though there
were differences of opinion regarding the
political significance of the submarine
warfare, the recent Reichstag was as
one as concerned its military achieve
ments All held the view that the
U-boat campaign should not be given up
construction of submarines should be
promoted as far as possible. That was
the opinion also, he said, of the high
est officials and the army and navy COM
manders
Vice Admiral Won Capelle, minister Of
the navy, stated that unrestricted U-boat
warfare meant a very strong naval often
sive against the entente.
THE reports for April are favorable, .
he added. aturally losses occur, but
the main thing is that the increase in
submarines exceeds the losses Our naval
offensive is stronger today than at the
beginning of Unrestricted submarine
warfare. That gives us an assured pros
pect of final success
The submarine war is developing
more and more into struggle between
U-boat action and new construction OF
ships. Thus far the monthly figures OF
destruction have continued to be several
times as large as those of new construc-
ton. Even the British ministry and
the entire British press admit that. The
latest appeal to British shipyard wori1-
ers appears to be especially significant.
For the present, apparently, the appeal
does not appear to have had great sac
cess. According to the latest state
ments, the British shipbuilding fell from
$4,000 tons in March to 112,000 in April,
or, recNoned in ships from 81 to %. That
means decline of $4,000 TONS or ABOUT
10 per cent.
America thus far has built little, and
has fallen far below expectations. Even
is an increase is to be reckoned with in
the future, it will be used up completely
by America herself
I'm addition to the sinkings by
U-boats, there is a large shortage in
cargo space owing to marine losses and
to ships becoming unserviceable. One OF
the best known big British ship owners
declared at a meeting of shipping men
that the losses of the British merchant
fleet through marine accidents, owing
to conditions created by the war, were
three times as large as in peace"

ADJUSTMENTS
At Loew's Bijou

There never was a more entertaining
and thrilling photoplay exhibited ~
Birmingham than the one that will be
shown Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day at Loew's Bijou, when George
Walsh, the steam engine in boots
a regular "walloping, whirlwind," will
star in Brave and Bold" one of the
best action pictures ever screened.
Walsh is well known in Birmingham,
having played at Loew's on several &C.
casions, and he has established fol-
lowing that will welcome his return in
this smashing, dashing, slashing, crash
ing thriller, just from the Fox studio.
Dunbar and Turner will be the head
line act on the vaudeville bill, and in
eccentric and original bits of nonsense
this pair excel. Dunbar is an excep
tional Unconditional and peculiarly fun
nv comedian. There are four other
star Loew acts on the bill, and the
usual comic cartoons and news weekly
films.

At the Lyric

Eeanore Cochrane, Americas pre-
mier songbird, will be the headline at
traction at the Lyric theatre this aft
ernoon, when five star Keith acts will
be shown, in addition to the Lyric
screen kilograms.
Miss Cochrane is regarded as one
of the greatest dramatic sopranos in
America, and will be assisted by AL
Terry at the piano.
AS an added attraction, the LAKELAND
Follies will be offered. This act will
have eight people in it, and carries
one of the best jazz bands in Amer
lea. 1t will be worth seeing.
The Georgalis Trio, expert marks
men. will present an unusual act, and
Moore and White, stars of many sue
cesses, will give line of comedy chat
ter, which doubtless will prove highly
entertaining Mack and Earl in "A
Letter of Introduction" also have a
good act, On the whole, the bill for
the first half of the week at the Lyric
looks good.

giving this service in a quiet and unob-
trusive way, and even though they wear
no uniform or insignia of office, o.her
than the little Red Cross button, they
are, nevertheless, an important element
of the Red Cross organization.
