GEN. S|BERT TELLS OF ENORMOUS WAR
 DEBTS INCURRED
Distinguished Alabamian Speaks in Interest of Lib erty Loan and Gives Lec-
 ture on Use of Gas

Mai Gen. William l.. Sibert, of the United States army, native of Gadsden' and at the close of the war in charge of the chemical warfare division of the War Department, gave a very interest ing illustrated lecture on gases and their uses in war at the Jefferson theatre last night.
 General Sibert went over to France with General Pershing, but was return ed to this country within a few months to take charge of the production of gases and instruments for the protec- ton of soldiers from the gases of the enemy.
 In introducing General Sibert, Col. Tom O. Smith said that Alabama had taken a leading part in the war in the men she had furnished for the army, in other ways, and referred to General Siberts part in the building of the Panama canal
 Preceding the introduction of General Sibert an American flag was presented to the Boy Scouts of Birmingham. a gift of the government in recognition of the fact that they had sold more bonds than any other camp in the state.
 This is the last great campaign of the war, I hope said General Sibert, but there are many bills to pay; the boys are to be brought home and those that are crippled must re-educated for some vocation their physical condition fits them to pursue If any man hestates about taking one more bond let him think of these crippled boys and of the govern ment's policy of educating them for use frll work"

GOVERNMENT DEBTS

General Siberts lecture was given in the interest of the Victory Loan and he appealed to the people of Birming- ham and Alabama to buy bonds in order that the government may be able to pay its debt.
 Answering the often repeated question, ''Why is the government selling bonds now that the war is over?" he said that enormous debts had been incurred in preparation for the fighting that was ex- pected to take place this spring. Neith- CT the government nor the soldiers ex- pected the war to end last fall and all preparati tions for finishing it this spring were being made when the armistice was signed. Contracts had to be taken care of. factories had to be kept going, vast quantities of materials had to be dis- posed of, the boys had to be brought back from France, the disabled had to be given vocational training.
 Contrasting the expenditures Tn the civil war and the world war, General Sibert said at the battle of Gettysburg 32 ,OOo artillery projectiles were fired and they cost s1o0,000. At the battle Of St. Mihiel, one of the small battles in France the Americans, in four hours, fired l,o93,- GOO artillery projectles costing $2O, 5Oo.o0O This, he said, is a fair ratio of the ex- pendtiures in the two wars.

 Within the German occupied area there has been established by the signal corps under the direction of Col Parker Hit, chief signal officer, a network of wires connecting the various units of the Third army. Direct lines connect with all the corps and divisions approximately 16,OoO miles of wire being in service.
 This extensive plant has not, however, been built by the Third army, but con- sists almost altogether of the German lines taken over by the signal corps and so arranged to meet the needs of the army. Sufficient circuits were left, how ever, for the civilian population to carry on their business.
 More than 15,000 calls are registered daily on the Coblenz switchboard. With the establishment of exchange in Coblenz it was necessary to employ operators who could speak English, French and German. The 15 operators on duty in Coblenz are all members of the women's telephone corps and have been in the service more than a year. The chief operator, Miss Helen Cook, was a former employe of the American Telephone and Telegraph com pany of New York.

by NsSO;fueu Ffess
 London. June 22.-The Prince of Wales is now 25 and King George has decided that he should have his own residence. York House. St. James, the home of his boyhood days, has been selected.
 / Except that it lacks garden and garage, York House is regarded as an admirable residence Decorators are now preparing it for the prince, who will move in in about month. His household will not be large.
 York House formerly was the prop erty of the King of Hanover, who re- fused to let Queen Victoria have it. But after his death she was able 70 offer It to the widowed Duchess Of Cambridge. Subsequently, the house was occupied by the Duke of Clarence and the present king and queen. Its most recent occupants have been the late Lo-d Kitchener and Sir William Robertson.
 Since the armistice the Prince of Wales has been very much in the pub lie eye, and his activities are diver sified He made a speech in the ring at the National Sporting club after the Wilde-Lynch contest, being introduced by Lord Lonsdale, the chief figure of the British sporting world He spoke also at the dinner of the Royal Acad- emy on the eve of the opening of the annual exhibition which was attended by great gathering of notables.
 He has been initiated into the Free Masons. following in the footsteps of his grandfather, King Edward, and his great uncle, the Duke of Connaueb bt, and has become an honorary memte CT of two of the old city trade guilds.
 Recently the prince flew over Lon don in an airplane piloted by one of the most daring army fliers. and loope l the loop and went through the most up-to-da programme of stunts, which the most tive aviato have begun to discourage since the end of hostilities
