NO REST FOR BOYS OF
 ALABAMA REGIMENT

This incident in the history of the Old Fourth Alabama came from two or ficers Of the regiment;
 For 26 days the dauntless Alabamians had attacked and counter attacked the boche and had borne the brunt of his terrific onslaughts Rest and short period behind the lines had been prom ised the regiment. There was a stroke to be made by American troops in the Ar gonne forest, but the t67th was not ex- pected to do it.
 The officer in charge of troop move ments in that section appeared before the command of the 161th and he car ried orders for the exhausted and worn men to make the plunge into< Argonne.
 Tn helfs name, what does this mean?' The officers were not satisfied that their men, in their condition, be sent back into the hottest part of the sector. We have been promised a rest repeatedly. Addl- tional charges have been assigned us without an hours rest. Are we to go forward again, after 26 days of the hot test hell?"
 You are, was the reply.
 The faithfuld old regiment was shot up into Argonne and the Hun was driven backward in terror, their emplacements captured and their forces loosing heavily.

TRIO OF Y. M. C. A. SECRETARIES
 MARCHED IN PARADE

Attached to Colonel Screws staff as they marched through the streets of our city yesterday were three Y. M. c. A. secretaries, who were with the Rainbow division while in France. These secre- taries were B. C. Dunlop. silk merchant Of New York city, who is one of the most beloved men connected with this | famous regiment Daddy Coker of | Gadsden was the second man, and the boys look upon him as father, and the | third man was none other than Dr. w. 1 B Holmes of our city. These men stayed l by the boys and were in evidence in the training areas, the camps and the front /! line trenches.
 Another secretary who has been al-
 most worshipped, but who could not
 come with the boys to Birmingham, is
 Miss Bray. Every member of the Rain bow division carries her picture, for | they love her for her wonderful work
 and her home-lke cooking. The boys | say she made more cookies, and fre-
 quently under fire, than any other wom-
 an in France In the line of march
 were also II. c. Buckalew of the state 1 staff, and F. J. Lang, one of the recon l struction army secretaries.
 1 The association gymnasium was a scene of beauty yesterday. begging taste | fully decorated and sartistcally arranged ] for the dinner of 300 boys who were l served there. The Church of the Ad- vent choir furnished the music~under the 1 direction of Professor Grambs. Fifty l young ladies served the dinner under the | direction. of Mrs. A. D. Brown, manager 1 of the safe department. and every man l who dined there was loud in his praise of thes ervice and welcome.

LIEUT.. BEN MOORE WINS
 PROMOTION IN BATTLE

First Lieut.. Ben Moore of the 167th is back with the victorious forces. When interviewed by an Age e-Herald reporter he was very modest and declined to tell any of his experiences.
 Lieutenant Moore was an old member of the wel-known Battery c, Alabama national guard, and saw active service on the Mexican border On returning from there he became a second lieuten- ant in Company K and was later pro- noted to first lieutenant on the Ar gonne for exceptional bravery.
 Lieutenant Moore saw much active service. He was wounded three times saw active service on the St. Mihl, Ar gonne and Chateau Thierry fronts.
 Lieutenant Moore said yesterday: "Oul boys are certainly proud that we are Alabamians and words cannot expres: how much we appreciate the wonderful reception that Birmingham, Anniston ant Gadsden has shown us. This is demon strated by the fact that the men re fused to parade anywhere except in deal old Alabama. Gee, but we are glad tt be back home and see the old folks again.

 OF SIX PERSONS
(Continued from Page Onc)

miral Benjamin c. Bryant, command ant of the naval yard, the marines and bluejackets started to round up all other bluejaclets and rush them to the navy yard and to the training camp in motor trucks.
 II was estimated by the police that at one time almost thousand blue jackets were taking part in the riot ing. They could not say how many negroes were involved or how many white civilians joined the sailors in tho fighting
 No accurate figures as to the actual number of wounded could be obtained at an early hour today, and the police said the number of negroes wounded probably would never be known exact ly, as many were taken home by friends as the fighting died down. --
 Lieutenants John R. Petersen, Jr., John R. Sanford and John G. Nicklas were among a number of naval officers who broke up fighting at various places and lined their men up. They were aided by several army officers.

NEW YORK FER BELOVED BY
 ALABAMA REGIMENT

B. S. Dunlap of New York city chief r. M c. A. official with the 167th regi- ment during practically all it's stay in France, is one of the most beloved men in the regiment and perhaps one of the most ardent admirers of the Alabamians. | When the shadow of war fell athwart 1 the country Mir Dunlap, then an active 1 business man, forgot his work and went | to France as Young Mems Christian association official. He and his two
 brothers were the owners of, one of the most prominent silk concerns in this i country and B. ;. Dunlap himself was 1 a millionaire
 | From the first day he took up duti@< with the Rainbow division, 167th infan- | try to the time when few weeks bek | fore the signing of the armistice, when his term expired, he left the famous unit, | he was universally popular with the men.
 l In the battles of the war he stayed with the regiment everywhere it went. When the shells were bursting over the 1 trenches they found him in the fron> l line distributing cigarettes, encourage 1 ment and good cheer When they went l to rest billets, worn out. tired and sick of war, his huge figure was among thefH and he would begin a song of encourage ment When they faltered he was on the job to support-th If they needed help he was one of the men in the com pany who always was ready to ccSs it without question.
 This is the account that the soldiers themselves give of Mr. Dunlap--only they tell many times this much. It has bet', on the lips of many of the men and

FRAGMENT OF SHE'LL FOR ARCHIVES OF HISTORY

When the first shell bursted over Amer ican soldiers in France it's frag agfnents
 fell around Chaplain E. F.. Smith of
 Midway. One of the pieces of this shell
 is a souvenir which Chaplain Smith has brought back home and which will be presented to the state department G archives of history at Montgomery.
 The shell injured no one, but burst into thousands of fragments, which fell all around the Alabama men. Chaplaif Smith has kept the piece he picked up
 all through the contest.
 At the time when the fragment is pre- sented to the state, Chaplain Smith will also present the field glasses General Beauregard used during the civil war When the order was issued froG Montgomery to General Beauregard to demand the surrender of Fort Sumpter l he had these glasses, said the fight | ing parson of the 167th." "When the
 commander of the fort refused to give l it up General Beauregard looked out over the, bay at the fort with these glasses and ordered the gunners to fire
 on the fort. The glasses have been kept l in New York by a prominent family.
 The owners thought it proper that the Fighting Fourth Alabama bring back the | glasses to their home state.

 l It was requested that those who would | take soldiers in their automobiles for the | drive around Highland avenue have their | cars at Woodrow Wilson park at 3 o'clock D. m. When that hour came hundreds | of cars were parked all around the park, | ready to receive the members of trS regiment.

SAYS PRINCIPLES ABANDONED
By Associated Press


 Paris, May 1O.-The German peace delegation declares in letters sent to the allied and associated powers that on essential points the basis of the peace of right agreed upon between the belligerents has been abandoned. Two letters have been sent to the allies, to which replies have been made. The first letter reads as fol- lows:
 "Fhc German peace delegation has finished the first perusaI of the peace conditions which have been handed over to them. They have had to realize that on es- sential points the basis of the peace of right agreed upon be- tween the belligerents has been abandoned.
 'Fhey were not prepared to find that the promise. explicitly given to the German people and the whole of mankind. is in this way to be rendered ilIusory.
 'sThe draft of the treaty contains demands which no nation could endure. Moreover, our experts hold that many of them could not \ possibly he carried out.
 'T'he German peace delegates will substantiate these statements in detail and transmit to the al- lied and associated governments their observations and their ma terial continuously.

 '"The representatives of the al- lied and associated powers have received the statement of Objec- tions to the German pIenipOtenti- aries to the draft of the conditions of peace.
 "In reply they wish to. remind the German delegation that they have formulated the terms of the treaty with constant thought of the principles on which the arInis- tice and the negotiations for peace
 were proposed. They can admit no discussion of their right to i'm
 sfst on the terms of the peace sub stantialiy as drafted. They can consider only such practical sug-
 sestions the German plenipo-
 tentiaries may have to submit"
 The second letter from the German representatives reads:
 "The German peace delegation has the honor to pronounce it's attitud, on the question of the league of na tions by herewith transmitting a Ger. man program, which, in the opinion o1 the delegation contains important sug- gestions on the league of nations prob lem.
 "The German peace delegation re. serves for itself the liberty of stating it's opinions on the draft of the allied and associated governments in detail In the meantime it begs to call atten- tion to the discrepancy lying in the fact that Germany is called on to sigI the statute of the league of nations as an inherent part of the treaty draf handed to us, and, on the whole. is no mentioned among the states which arf invited to join the league of nations

Dr. Ytchas, minister of finance, and head of the dele gation, told the correspondent today the peaceetreaty presented to Germany had the effect of giving to Lithuania the great Baltic port of MemeL, thus maA1- ing the republic one of the important Baltic powers.
 The old East Prussia boundary started above Memel, whereas the peace treaty. starts the boundary below Memel. While gratified at the result, the delegation. holds that the treaty is unwarranted in internationalizing the Niemen river, which is wholly within Lithuania.
