The ban has been lifted on Birming- ham by Camp Mcclellan and Camp Sher- idan, according to official advices re- ceived in Birmingham from the military authorities at the two camps named.

 SERGEANT HUDSON
Returned Aviator Observer Tells of Experiences at the FrOnt-Praises Mother
 of Soldiers

Sergt Graves D. Hudson Of the 4s4th aero squadron has returned to his home in Birmingham after a years service overseas. Sergeant Hudson saw active service on five fronts where his squad ron was attached to the First and Sec ond armies, but he escaped without re- ceiving a scratch.
 Our division was operated as a sepa rate unit" said Sergeant Hudson, "car- rying it's hospital and medical officers along with it, and we were usually sta- tioned about three miles behind the front lines Our planes were used to ob- serve the enemy and direct the fire of the machine guns and the experiences of the flyers in this division was most ex- citing.
 The French people were very good to the American soldiers and did everything they could for them, but I am very glad to get back home for we never realized what great thing it was to be an Amer ican until we went across
 The Red Cross was truly the mother of the soldiers and the greatest mother in the world expresses it exactly. No matter how thick and fast the shells and shrapnel were coming there was all ways Red Cross hut or a tent near the boys.
 One day. just as we were ready to have our dinner served, a shell exploded rear and killed several of our men and wounded a large number. My division was made up mostly of western boys and l was the only southern boy in it.. We were trained at Kelly field, San An tonio Texas, and sailed from New York on February 12, 1918.
 You should have seen the boys the day the armistice was signed, for every one was celebrating. Everyone was so glad to know the war was over and we had visions of being home for Christmas The peace demonstration lasted for four days in France, but I think they had a perfect right to celebrate as they had had four long years of war and that coun- try certainly shows it.
 'I was very glad to get back home after years absence and I find Bir- mingham the same old town" Sergeant Hudson is the son of Mrs. c. M. Hud- son and has lived in this city for the past 10 years, where he is well known. He has resumed his position at the First National bank and is receiving a most cor dial welcome from his many friends
