Birmingham Man Rescuer
 OF Famous Lost Battalion

The rescuers of the famous lost bat talion" were headed by Birmingham soldier, Maj. Carl F. Mckinney, son of is~. and Mrs. A. B. Mckinney, 1912 Twelfth avenue, south.
 This fact has been confirmed by Mrs. Mckinney, who received yesterday copy of the rotagravure section of the New York Times containing pictures of the heroes and description of their deeds.
 The lost battalion" was commanded by Colonel Whittlesy of New York When the Germans found a handful of Ameri- cans surrounded, they hesitated, for some peculiar reason, to proceed to butcher them. So the commanding officer of the Germans sent word asking that they sur render in order that blood might not be fruitlessly shed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-04-15

Colonel Whttlesy retorted with his fa- nous, "Go to hell"
 At that, however, it is entirely prob able that the lost battalion" would have become the dead battalion" but for the timely rescue. This rescue was effected by body of men commanded by Major Mckinney.
 Mrs. Mckinney stated yesterday after noon that in March, 1918, her son, on the staff of General Swift, was sent to Italy. After having served there for number of months his request that he be transferred to the western front in France was granted September l, 1S4S. He is in the Seventy seventh division.

 "The World War Veterans of Jefrer- son county is now a definite fact-our charter was incorporated following it's approval at the mass meeting Sunday afternoon in Judge Pughs courtroom.
 Now what does that mean to you? Ut means for you to constitute your self a missionary an organizer, an agi-

 Get the man. Is he honorably dis charged? That's all you need to know then go get him. Don't ask who he is
 or what he is. Get him! Talk or ganization to him-talk power to him. Get him to fill out data card-and keep everlastingly at it. Remember we need every veteran of the world war in this organization. Don't allow any pre-war prejudices to get you. In France-at Chateau Thierry the Cham pagne front and the Argonne forest, and on the high seas-we were all to- gether. We were all together in the camps at home. all ready if the call came. In the service when it came to dying pnaiudices didn't count much everyone fought and died together.

Jefferson Association Filed Incorporation Papers Yes terday-Letter of Invi-
 tatiOn Issued

Ambitious plans to enroll the en-
 tire state of Alabama in n closely
 knitted organizat ton of world war
 veterans are being rapidly pushed
 forward.
 With the incorporating of the char ter of the Jefferson County World War Veterans association yesterday the temporary committee on organization launched a campaign of propaganda, which has for it's aims the. registration of every returned service man of the state into closely affiliated body.
 Tt is the intention to organize the entire state of Alabama on similar lines to that of Jefferson county" said Rich ard r. Lussier, chairman of the tenn porary organization committee for this district. From letters have been pre- pared with other propaganda which will be distributed throughout the coun- ty and state urging the rapid organiza- tion of the veterans of the worldwar into fast-bound organization.
 'The ideas of organization are very simple Returned veterans in any hamlet, town or city of Alabama, can easily bind themselves together for mu- tual benefit under a charter and by the election of delegates to some state con- Vention become affiliated in the state body, which in turn will send delegates to the national convention. Veterans should not wait for organizers, but should take the bull by the horns right now Each unit should have it's own self government and have it's own sys- tenn of finance, the principal idea being the getting together in close liason so that we can present a solid front on is- sues effecting the welfare of veterans of the world war;
 Mailing list of addresses of returned veterans were secured yesterday and the following letter issued by the tenn porary committee on organization was sent out.
