DEBS IS FORMALLY NOTIFIED HE WILL BE GIVEN FREEDOM
No Instructions Received as to Hour the Noted Prisoner Will Leave Atlanta
 Penitentiary
By Associated Press

Atlanta, December, 24.-Eugene V. Debs was formally notified today that his 10-year sentence had been commuted to expire tomorrow, and, as far as could be learned, recieved Vthe tidings calmly, reserving any comment he might want to make un- til he is actually outside the walls of the Atlanta federal penitentiary.
 Detailed instructions as to the hour of release had not been received at the prison tonight, and following or dinary procedure the socialist lead CT would be allowed to leave tomor- row at any time suitable to him.
 All arrangements for departure for his home in Terre Haute, Ind, for & Christmas reunion with his wife and family have been made by Theodore Debs, brother of the prisoner, and David Karstner, socialist leader of New York, both of whom have been here for several days. His plans for the future are to be made after ar. rival home, his friends said.
 The government will provide transportation, S5 in cash and a com plete outfit of civilian clothes, which MT. Debs may wear If he desires. He has his choice between a dark blue or brown suit, but the other gar ments are uniform and include a felt hat. There Is nothing to suggest the prison about them. although they are not costly clothes and make no prE- nense of tailor's fit.
 The socialist leader has been room ing in the hospital building most of the time since he has been in the prison here, and does not mingle with the other inmates generally. No out- siders, either, have seen him recent 1y, 1t was said by J. E. Dyche, war den. and his brother and friends here were waiting to welcome him outside the gates
 A supplementary White House statement on the Debs case further amplified the view taken by the President.
 There is no question of his guilt and that he actively and purposely obstructed the draft" the statement said, "in fact, he admitted 1t at the trial, but sought to justify his action. He was by no means, however, as rabid and outspoken in his express sions as many others, and but for his prominence and the resultant farC reaching effect of his words very probably might not have received the sentence he did. He is an old man, not strong physically. He Is a man of much personal charm and impress sive personality which qualifications make him a dangerous man. calcu- lated to mislead the minimizing, and affording excuses for those with crim- inal intent"

The long waited tor sporting and feature picture event will open to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock at the Rialto theatre. At that time. W. c. Rudolph, personal representative of Tex Rickard in the southern states, wilr start showing the Dempsey Carpenter light picture, which was made at Jersey City last July g. when the French challenger and the heavyr weight champion. met in fistic cont bat. with the championship of the world hanging in the balance.
 Promoter Rickard spent thousands of dollars on the production of this master film, and now 1t Is ready for the people of Birmingham.
 The first show depicting the bat tie of the century" will get going at 10 o'clock Monday morning, and throughout the day a new show will start every hour. It takes exactly an hour to run off the five reels of this great film. Starting at 10 o'clock a show will be given avery hour, until the curtain goes down on the Monday night.
 New Years Night
 The same program will be adhered to all week, with the possible eXcep- tion of Saturday night, when Manager Rudolph may give the late New Year celebrators a treat with program which runs from Il to 12 o'clock.
 All the thrills of the actual combat are to be experienced in witnessing the master film. which it took 2 corps of camera men, recruited from the studios at Hollywood, Califor- nia. to make. Many who have seen this great fistie battle as it Is de- picted on the screen, and who have viewed the wonders of the camera in reproducing the great crowd of 3D. 900 people, and the effect the fight had on these thousands, say that viewing of the film is better than an actual ring side seat in Boyles Thirty Acres, where the worlds big gest stadium was erected by Rickard to house the greatest crowd that ever gathered for sporting event of any kind.
 Get All the Thrills
 The bedlam and confusion one ex- perienced at ring side Is missing, as one enjoys a ring-side seat at the picture. But the thrills and the e6- citement are there just the same, ana many places where the film has been shown, crowds have been known to

Sin, silk and salvation form a COM
bination that is working miracles be-
meath the tropic sun of India.
Sin has rocked in the very cradles of
the criminal tribesmen for centuries.
That same vicious system of caste
which has sentenced the son of a
weaver to weave and the son of a
storekeeper to keep store has through
ages condemned the son of a criminal
tribesman to rustic cattle, pillage and
commit murder.
But now the Salvation Army by using
silk to take the sin out of the Grim" Is
bringing about both the material and
spiritual salvation of a people.
These criminal tribesmen,, gathered
into settlements by the British govern
ment, were taken in hand by the Sal
~vationists, We're taught to care for the
mulberry trees, to rear the silk worms,

to reel and weave the silk. They have
ceased to be criminals. They have be-
come expert weayers, and they like
their new jobs. They work at them
more industriously than they ever did
at banditry. And they are now Keeling
and weaving more than a ton of raw
silk a month.
In each country the Salvation Army
adapts its methods to the peculiar
needs. Here in the United States it
does a great work among the prisoners
