He GOT. THE GEORGES MIXED
Baseball Expert Evidently Had Some
thing to Learn About Prominent
Men Of the World.

A former pitcher now in the defunct
Northwestern league, who sought
peace and quiet In Seattle shipyard,
was discussing the war and kindred
topics during breathing spell one
day. This hurler Is well known for
the speed and "stuff'' he gets on the
ball, and is not credited with more
gray matter than the law allows.
This latter circumstance possibly ac-
counts for his end of the following
conversation:
'sThis war sure has changed things
around some," opined the ball player.
"How now?" queried his friend.
''well, you take England, for in
stance. England always had a king
until short time ago."

"Why no, not that. They just don't
call him King George any more. Least

ABE WILLIAMS IS
 BACK AFTER SIX
 MONTHS OVERSEAS
Ugly Brothers Minstrel Experience of Value to Local Boy in Enter
 taining Soldier Boys

Abe H. Williams, son of MT. and Mrs. T. Williams, has returned to Birming- ham after six months foreign service. MT. Williams was a member of the headquarters company of the 322d in- fantry and returned to the states last week, being honorably discharged from service Saturday at Camp Mcclellan. While in Liverpool awaiting to return to the United States young Williams had the misfortune to fall, spraining his ankle, which kept him in the hos pital for several weeks.
 "One night we were scheduled to have an entertainment" said MT. Will Hams, "and after the boys had all got ten to the Y. M c. A. hut the perform CTS failed to appear and they called on me to entertain the boys. I told them a few jokes and rendered several songs, one of which was my own composition, and various other things and they all seemed to appreciate my efforts and enjoy my little programme.
 You know I was a member of the Ugly Brothers minstrel before enter ing the service. While in England I saw Miss Harriet Pitts of Birmingham and Miss Dunbar Averett. who often visit friends in this city. They were with the Y. M. c. A. entertainment department and gave programme at our camp. While was in Messy Hill hospital in Liverpool I saw Mrs. Mary Gillen and Miss Berney Gillen from Bessemer. who are doing entertainment work for the Red Cross.
 T certainly was glad to see those girls from home, as they were the only Birmingham people I saw during my six months stay overseas, with the ex- @ception of the boys in my division. I certainly am glad to get back home and Birmingham looks so good to me I don't think I'll ever want to leave 1t again."
