SUBSCRIPTIONS ID SEM|-CENTENN|AL
 REACH $51,O0O

The total subscriptions to the semi- centennial furd to date bring the amount to $51OOO, according to an- nouncement yesterday by Erskine Ramsay, chairman of the finance com mittee. MT. Ramsay gave out list of additional subscribers which swelled the total to more than S50,- 500, and several others were received after this list had been compiled.
 Committees are still at work on the financial arrangements for the cele- bration and information Is that at least one other $1,000 subscription has been promised. MT. Ramsay stat ed yesterday that he was desirous of closing the financial campaign this week and he hoped that every patri otic citizen who felt an interest in the celebration and in Birmingham would send in something, even though the amount were only $l0,
 Since the budget for the celebra- tion provides for the expenditure ot only $30.0O0 and indications now point to subscriptions of at least $60,- 900, every person subscribing is as- sured of a refund of at least 50 per cent the day the books close. Now that all indications point to record breaking crowds and a most success ful celebration, 1t is considered cer- tain that the income bearing features of the celebration will bring in enough to greatly increase z this amount. In order to make the in- come from these features certain, rain insurance has been taken out to protect the semi centennial.
  Chairman Ramsay Is confident that he will be able to refund all or near ly all of each subscription and he deems it perfectly safe for each citi- zen to subscribe a sum considerably in excess O. what he expects to do- te, since the refund is assured now with the subscription in hand almost double the amount to be spent.
 Additional subscriptions announced yesterday follow

pr. EdmondS Outlines Situa- ton In the Several War Stricken Countries
 of Europe

Dr. H. M. Edmonds was the prin- cipal speaker at the luncheon yester- day at the Tutwiler by the recently organized Optimist club.
 Dr. Edmonds in a brief talk cut iined European conditions. The French young men had gone to Paris; the women are in the field doing the farm work The gay Paris, which he saw 20 years ago, is a neglected and dropping Paris. There is an eternal fear of a German come back. The Belgians have recovered more rapidly than any. They rebuilt their churches their homes and factories. But the Belgians are suffering from the cheaply made goods that. come from Germany and Belgian business men are apprehensive of the future.
