For the Good of
 The Community

this country entered into 1t With Slngle- ness of purpose and devotion that spelled ultimate victory.
 Birmingham did her part, sending over 10000 of her young men to battle in France; converting her industries to war purposes; gave her money; sacrificed in the matter of food, transportation, fuel, light, pleasure and in every other way re- quested by the government, or suggested to them as means of winning the gigantic struggle.
 While the boys were in France, or in camps preparing for the trip across; and the industries were turning out war mate rial the people themselves, the men and women and boys and girls of Birmingham were doing their full share in every activ- ty inaugurated by the government.
 Never before in the history of the young city, grown to be giant in the short space of AT years had the citizens, regardless of sex, creed or color so combined their ef- forts to the one single end-victory.
 There was cooperation among all classes and conditions; coordination of all forces in every activity, in every preposi- tion advanced for the promotion of the country's interests and success came.
 The allied armies, under the able leader ship of Frank Rushton, typified that har- nony. that cooperation, that co-ordina- tion that always means success. Organlz- ed for the specifice purpose of putting over all war activities in this community it en- listed the aid of the services of men and women, boys and girls is all walks of life. All responded promptly and whole-heart- edly enlisted in the work. Birmingham "wentover the top" in every drive.
 So in business, in industry, in the up- building of the city, United, harmonious cooperation of the people will make for greater city, a more contented population and more attractive community.
 Birmingham has demonstrated in these two years of war work what harmony will do in the way of accomplishment; her peo-
 
 together and pull together; they have learned that their neighbors are good fel- lows and willing to do their part, and the spirit of good will and helpfulness so mani fest in war work can and should be con- verted to an asset in times of peace.
 Itwould be waste of time to attempt an enumeration of the natural resources abounding in and about Birmingham. They are known the world over. What has been done with them is not so we'll known, and the possibilities of the future yet re- main to be unfolded. Inform yourself; ad- wise with your friends, consult the business men and manufacturers, talk with the leaders in all lines of endeavor, and then join hands with all these in the programme for upbuilding Birmingham
 Birmingham was not laggard in war. She must not and will not be laggard in time of peace.

AMERICAN DEAD
THRuOUT FRANCE
ARE HONORED
Not a Single Grave Is Over
looked on Memoir
ial Day.

Paris, May 30-Not grave of an
American who fell in the great war
was overlooked in today's observance
of Memorial Day in France. Some
of the services were held in the vicin
ity of the battle line along which the
troops fought and sacrificed their
lives-in the cemeteries where they
were laid to rest. Others took place
near the hospital centers further
back where those whose wounds fin
ally caused their death have been
buried.
The two most notable events of the
day were at Suresnes near Paris, and
at Romagne, near the Argonne. Pres
ident Wilson left the labors of the
peace conference to go to the former
place for an address in the American
cemetery there, while General Perish
ing went to Romagne, near the spot
where the Americans suffered their
heaviest losses in the fighting, to
speak at the exercises this afternoon.
The $500 soldier dead at Romagne
were honored by the attendance of
battalion OF infantry, battery of ar
tillery and regimental band, while
similar attachments took part in the
exercises at other large cemeteries.
After paying tribute to the memory
of their fallen comrades, the members
of the American Expeditionary Forces
from the Rhine to the sea, spent the
remainder of the day in taking part
in and witnessing athletic events of
various kinds.
AS part of the Memorial Day OBJ
servance, Hugh G. Wallace, American
ambassador to France, went to the
Pichus cemetery in the outskirts of
Paris this forenoon and placed a
wreath on the tomb of Lafayette.
Marshal Petain, commander of the
French army, gave directions to
French troops near the places where
the American dead were buried, to
pay tribute to their fallen comrades in
arms from overseas.
By the time President Wilson ar
rived at the Suresnes cemetery
great throng had gathered to attend
the exercises.
President Wilson was accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson, Rear Admiral Gray
son, Brigadier General VIM. w. Harris
and Miss Edith Benham, Mrs. Will
sons secretary.
The weather was ideal for the out
door ceremonies.
