Major Libby to Speak at the Community Sing Today. WOman's Committee Ac- tive Over State-Cam-
 paign to Run Three Days

Victory Loan workers have set for three days of this week. With 45 per, cent of their quota raised up to last night they are determined to finish the job by Wednesday night and then return to their own private business affairs.
 The work of taking subscriptions in this campaign has been the easiest Of all the campaigns made in Birming- ham, The people in most instances have been waiting for the workers to come along, having their money ready or checks made out and signed.
 "when the Alabama boys who
 have been in France come home
 few days hence from now we are
 going to have big banner with
 the words "Paid in Full" strung
 across the street to greet them,"
 said some of the workers yester-
 day. "They have finished their
 work and we want them to know
 that we have paid for it.'
 So that is to the slogan of the workers when they renew activities to- morrow morning. Paid in FulP' will resound all along the line and there is no doubt but the people of Bir- mingham and Jefferson county will give their hearty support, both moral and financial
 Every soldier in the allied armies and every worker on every committee will be prepared tomorrow morning to buckle down to business and to make the stiffest campaign they have ever made. 4
 MAJOR LIBBY TO SPEAK
 Mai. Arthur S. Libby of the United States army will be the speaker at the community sing at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon. He is said to be a fine speaker and the thrilling ex- periences he had as German prisoner, threatened with firing squad on sus- picion of being a British spy, and other incidents of his service will make an inter esting story.
 Preparations are being made for a full house to hear Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer. when he speaks at the Jefferson theatre Tuesday night. As custodian of alien property during the war MT. Palmer handled hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property and was one of the most important f1S- ures in the administrative offices dur ing the war. Prior to accepting the appointment MT. Palmer represented one of the Pennsylvania districts .n Congress and comes to Birmingham with the reputation of being one of the best speakers in the country.
 No luncheon was held yesterday and

most of the workers remained in the field until late hour. Reports have not been turned in by several Of the divisions, and the reports of others are not complete. For that reason It is impossible to state just what amount of the quota has been subscribed ir' Birmingham and Jefferson county, but Chairman John L. Kaul estimates that about 45 per cent of the $6,911,50o has been taken.

 Mrs. Solon Jacobs, member of the na- tional woman'S loan organization, has returned from a tour of North Alabama, where she made several speeches dur ing the past week. She brings back good reports of the work being done by the women in the counties visited by her. Speaking of her trip Mrs. Jacobs said:
 Tn Bell Nina, Limestone county, an enthusiastic meeting was held in the new community school house, where patriotic play was the occasion and sev- eral hundred people assembled. All seemed interested in the Victory Loan and pledged their support
 "In Huntsville, Madison county, the Liberty Loan speakers, with Mrs. Res- well as chairman, were having a lunch con at the home of Mrs. Milton Humes. The luncheon was given in honor of Miss Annie Wheeler. daughter of Gen. Joe Wheeler who is beloved by the people of Alabama. Miss Wheeler had recent ly returned from France and told of many interesting experiences while over seas. The people of Huntsville are wide awake in the present loan drive and eX- pect to go over the top with very little difficulty
 WOMEN PATRIOTIC
 Mrs. M. l. Hoskins, of Lauderdale county, had arranged splendid meet ing in Florence in the new high school building, and an enthusiastic audience greeted us. In fact women were found everywhere filled with spirit of pa trotism, and ready to do their part in the loan.
 "In Athens, Limestone county. the men and women are working together splen- didly and the chairman of the mems committee stated that they were working on a 50-5O basis and were getting good results.
 Colbert and Morgan counties are also awake to their duty to the government in this campaign, and there will be no trouble in raising the quotas of each county is my belief
 The results of Mrs. John D. McNeeTs untiring efforts in organizing for the fifth loan campaign is being shown throughout the state. She has stirred the interest in the women to do better than in former drives, and her loyal guidance is evidenced by expressions of praise which reflects much honor on the state chairman"
