Eloquent Appeals for
 Irish Freedom Feature
 Irish Race Convention
By Associated Pesss

Philadelphia, February 22.-Eloquent appeals for the freedom of Ireland anc bitter arraignment of England marked the opening sessions today of, the conven- . ton of the Irish race. The convention which is being held under the auspices of the Friends of Irish Freedom sent a telegram to Cardinal Mercier of Bell gium, thanking him for his contribution to the cause of world freedom and another to Edward De Valera of the provincial government of Ireland, explaining the purposes of the meeting, which was called to demand for Ireland the right of self determination.
 All the speakers, including Justice Daniel F. Cohalan of the New York su- preme court; the Very Rev Peter E. Magennis of New York, president of the Friends of Irish Freedom; Representa- tive Thomas Gallagher of Illinois, and the Rev. Francis McCabe, president of Depaul university, emphasized the right of the Irish to liberty.
 "The time to plead is gone forever, declared Dr. McCabe. "We want promises of Irish freedom fulfilled. We demand that the military forces be withdrawn from Ireland so the strain of the present may be taken away. The British govern ment means to provoke the Irish people to armed resentment, so it will have an excuse to annihilate them"

THOUSANDS WITNESS GOVERNMENT FILM
 ON SOCIAL HYGIENE
Suggestion Made That City Secure Copy of Film and Show it as Matter of Educational
 Instruction

Much attention and interest has been taken in the showing of the govern ment film on social hygiene, 'The End of the Road" at the various local thea tres. Said one of Birmingham's promi nent citizens last night: "The city of Birmingham should own a copy of that film, and show it in different parts of Birmingham, and at the industrial cen ters and mining camps, until every adult citizen had seen it, and then I should pass it on to some other town to use in the same manner"
 In this picture one sees the sordid. ac- tual and unavoidable consequences of hu- man frailty painted in graphic colors. Many get a direct realization of social hygiene and mortality where before the terms had only been set of phrases to their indifferent minds.
 Dr. Crotty, noted social hygiene work CT, said in her film talk last night at the Rialto where the film was shown: Information on a subject entails respon- sibility, especially when one is made to understand what ones national. racial and family responsibility is.'
 It is estimated that about 10000 local citizens have seen the picture, and all who attended remarked on the serious and respectful attention of the audience, showing that they had come, not for en- tertainment, but for serious instruction.
 It is conceded to be the greatest film of its kind ever released.

BESSEMER HIGH BREAKS EVEN IN
 TWO FAST GAMES

In fast double header yesterday after noon, Bessemer High school won over the second team of Birmingham Southern by the score of g to 1e, and lost the second game to Acipco "Y" by the score of 37 to 2l The first game was won in the first half, the score then standing 14 to 6 in Bessemer's favor. The Southern put up hard fight all the way through, but were no match against the superior team work of the opposing quintet
 When the gong sounded for the sec ond game and the teams went into action. it was at once apparent that the teams were in no condition to put up the first-class fight which would have been forthcoming had Bessemer been fresh During this one-sided but dogged bit of basket ball. English for Bessemer made clear goal from center and brought the roof down. In the second half, when Acipco was running off with the bacon, Harrison for Bessemer came to the resuce in a brilliant fashion and shot three goals running.
 Norris and F'uqua did most of the limelight work for Acipco.

LARGE INCREASE IN SALARIES OF
 COUNTY TEACHERS
Superintendent Baker Points Out Ad- ditional Expenses Over Former Year and Says Retrench-
 ment Necessary

Salaries of teachers employed in the Jefferson county schools will exceed those of last year by about $55,00o,'' says Super intendent N. R. Baker, and without the 3-mill tax voted at an election some- time ago, it would have been impossible to meet them"
 pr. Baker points out that other ex- penses hay eincreased largely and that penses have increased largely and that calls for very great outlay in money
 Increased school population, amounting to 20O0, made necessary the enlargement of the teaching staff, thereby adding s26, 900 to pay roll, and that transportation of school children cost about $14.0O0.
 Some money has been saved by the consolidation of several schools, but MT. Baker says retrenchment will be necessary another year if the schools keep within their revenues
 MT. Baker states that new buildings planned for the year will cost approxi- mately $2O7,0OO, whereas only s75,000 has been set aside for that purpose.

MACEDONIA SEEMS
 ALMOST DESERTED
Former Prosperous Towns and Villages Now Only
 Masses of Ruins
By Associated Press

Saloniki, January 15.-Macedonia at
 Present strikes one as peaceful and
 Isell organized country with little or
 10 population. Many of the villages and
 owns which furnished the battlegrounds
 Pf the allied armies and those of the cen-
 ral powers have been destroyed and the
 population scattered. mostly by the Bull
 sarians but partly by the necessities of
 he allies.
 The allied army of Macedonia, too, is tdwindling and it gives one a feeling of
 trangeness to travel up and down Mace 1aonia and see familiar places which once fNere populous with allied troops now de- &serted. Camps occupied for two years yby the allied forces and which one had |leome to regard as permanent institutions Hnow are the feeding grounds only ot 3tlocks of crows picking about among the Nrefuse. All the troops have by no means uleft this part of the world, and Saloniki Hstill remains the most important military Nbase in eastern Europe; but great 8change has come over things and one | Xnow sees the sturdy native on his di- |3minutive donkey riding in places which Tor three years was barred to everybody Inot in khaki.
 I The writer passed through Doiran the Mother day. It once was a pretty little . town, picturesquely situated on the shore
 of the Lake Doiran and during the great
 CT part of the war was only few hum Idred yards beyond the British lines, in enemy territory. Of all the thousand or | more houses, there is not one left that Sis more than a heap of rubbish and that Us typical of the situation in Macedonia today.
 Al The population is slowly Altering back X but the chief things that they find are the excellent roads made by the British Y the best roads in Macedonia since the days of the Romans. These roads will { be invaluable for the future. Macedonia has large agricultural possibilities and 4 it's population will begin to settle down again after the ravages of war as they have done so often before.
 The old Macedonian question still awaits solution. It contained the seeds of trouble and grief for the whole of human ity. Viewed from here, the war seems to have done absolutely nothing to settle the problems of the mixed and warning races in these regions. Age-long antipa- thies and prejudices remain apparently as firmly rooted now as before the war. But the Austro-German menace which
 heretofore overhung the whole region like a thundercloud now has been dissi- pated and the western powers now appa
 rently realize that there is every reason for them to take keen interest in what Is going on in the Balkans.
 It is generally felt here that Turkey needs strong master and the Balkans a kindly but firm friend who will or dain their future on basis of right and justice and conditioned partly, though not wholly, on the parts played by various nations in the war, on Serbia's unswerv- ing ga1lantry and loyalty, on the great
 aid finally given by Greece and the treachery and cynicism of Bulgaria.
 The allies may not need to grand mother the Balkans but it is likely that

ARMENIAN-SYRIAN
 CAMPAIGN STILL
 BRINGING CHECKS
Many Counties in State Over Their Quotas and Colonel Smith Daily
 Receiving Checks

Many of the counties of Alabama have been seriously delayed in putting on their campaigns tor the relief of the starving victims of the Turks and Germans in Asia Minor, according to a statement just issued by Robert M. Mann, state director. This delay Is largely due to the influenza epidemic still prevalent in many counties of the state.
 In the counties of Covington, Ge- neva, Blount, Greene, Lamar, Pike and St. Clair the work Is just beginning. Etowah county has its drive on the last three days of this week and coE- fidently expects to raise considerably more than it's quota of $7640 this week, having complete organizations in An niston, Oxford, Jacksonville and Pied mont. Each city will raise It's pro- portion of the countys total. In An niston the Rotary club is handling the drive
 Ten counties in all have already re- ported oversubscriptions: Choctaw, Fayette. Hale, Morgan, Shelby, Dallas, Franklin, Madison, Pickens and Will cox.
 Col. Tom o. Smith, the state treas urer, is, receiving many checks. quite number of them being from churches and Sunday schools that have taken special collections for this cause.
 Reports from other states show that the campaign has been similarly de- layed in many places. Louisiana re- ports 56 per cent of it's quota raised. In the Arkansas legislature every member of both houses and all em- ployes donated a days salary. Cleve- land gave $750.000 out of it's war chest, over IS per cent more than the entire quota for the city.
 Cables from it's representatives in the field, received by the American committee on relief in the near east, state that they are still unable to save thousands of starving women and chil- dren and that every days delay takes its toll of precious lives.
