DAMAGE SUIT CAUSES SENSATION IN LONDON
Lord Douglas Charges Stir Entire
 English People

LONDON, July 1s.-Amazing testi- mony has been given in court for ths last two days by Lord Alfred Doug las, who is suing the Morning Post for libel. Lord Douglas, well known as son of the late sporting Marquis of Queensbury, and also as a minor poet, has frequently appeared in the courts In various roles.
 As editor of the weekly, Plain Eng fish, he made a series of charges that the Jews were conspiring to ruin the country; that a mum Der of promi- nent members of that race had made E4S,000, 900 by manipulating the news of the battle of Jutland; that they were responsible for Kitchener's death because he offended them. and that the late Sir Ernest Cassell gave Winston Spencer Churchill E40, 900 to furnish a new house as reward for the latter's alleged aid in manipulat- ing Jutland news.
 The Morning Post attacked Lord Douglas on account of his writings. The latter in court asserted that refused to give most of the sources of his alleged information.
 An affidavit was read from she Earl of Balfour, who Is i'll, stating that as first lord of the admiralty he prepared the bulletin on the 6utland battle and that none except himself and the members of the cabinet had anything to do with 1t. MT. Churchill took the stand and said there was not a word of truth in the charges against him.

WILL HONOR CIVILIANS
Men Who Take Military Training
 Will Get Recognition

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Young- sters who complete the civilian mlli- tary training camp course at Camp Meade, Md, July 25, will be the first to receive from the war department in recognition of their services per manent decorations to wear with civilian clothing.
 General Pershing hinted at what was to come in his speech to the troops at Camp Meade yesterday. It did not become known until today, however, that the lapel buttons, bear ing the legend, National Defense Civilian Military Training Camps were being manufactured and would be ready to issue to the boys at Meade and to all subsequent camp graduates.
 The button is a reproduction of the round medallion in cloth worn by O. NJ. T. c. students during their training and which at once distin- guishes them in dress and equipment from the regulars with whom they or red, white and blue enamel, and in form of coloring is copy of the general headquarters insignia of the A. E. F. Any man who completes the first 30-day period of O. M. T. C. work in two years is entitled to wear the emblem of his service
 Ultimately the war sdepartment will call for the issuance of distinc- tive emblems in bronze, silver and gold to men who have qualified as prfvates, non-comm ssoned officers or officers through the summer train- ing work.

SISTER MARY SPENDS
 50 YEARS ON ONE JOB
New Orleans Charity Hospital
 Holds Birthday Celebration

NEW ORLEANS, July 19.-Conval- escents and members of the staff of Charity hospital here were in happy mood today for there was huge birthday and golden jubilee dinner and celebration at the institution. It was the birthday of Sister Mary Vim cent-which one she wouldn't tell and it also rounded out just 50 years of service she had given there. When she went to the hospital in 1873, there were not even sheets for the beds but now not only is the insti- tution supported by the state of Louisiana, but it has become one of the most widely known hospitals in the country.
 Sister Mary, described by Dr. W. W. Leake. the superintendent. as "a wonderful woman," and by Sister Stanislaus, sister superior, as just q little, quiet woman," became a member of the hospital staff as a bookkeeper and for 40 years occu- pied that position. The last 10 years she has devoted to everything that came to hand, no matter how trivial or how important
 For 49 years Sister Mary has a rec ord of having been on duty every day and she would have had a half century record had it not been that she was stricken during the yellow fever epidemic of 1874.
 The celebration began early today with a mass in her honor in the hos pital chapel

TWO DAYS TO END BIG EXTRA CREDIT, EXTRA PRIZE CAMPAIGN OFFER
Great Automobile Race Half Way Over-Last Two Days Of Present Big Offer To Reward Hard Work With Thousands of Car-Winning Credits And Valu- able Extra Prize

to amass thousands and thousands of automobile winning credits under the present big double offer, promise to be upsetting factors in the cam paign as do number of new en- trants who are coming into the race with a world of enthusiasm and driv- ing vigor to carry them on to victory. Although many think the campaign has progressed too far for any one to enter now with any prospect of win ming, the opposite to this Is true With so many members competing for the credit-valuable subscriptions, naturally the number any one obtains is much smaller than would other wise be the case, As a result lower credit totals will probably win than one would naturally assume.
 The "50000 Club" department is busy checking up and verifying the subscriptions turned In under the secod offer and the process of yer ification Is being speeded up as much as possible in order that the win ners of the extra gold of last week can be determined.
 Campaign Records To He Audited.
 In order to guard against the chance of any errors being made in the final compiling of each members s credits The Age-Herald has arranged with Messrs. Latady, Andrews & Co, certified public accountants, Brown Marx building, Birmingham, to audit the records of the campaign depart ment from beginning to end. This will insure that there will be no errors made in the records of the credits the various members have secured. So don't fear that you will not be given full credit on your subscriptions for with the audit of the records by this firm all members will bet given exactly what is due thera in credits

K|WANIANS OPPOSE
 PROPOSED STEEL PLANT ANNEXATION
Ensley Civic Club Will Keep Eye On Montgomery
 Activities
ENSLEY BUREAU ! THE AGE-IIEHALD


 The Ensley kiwanis club, by unan- imous action, Thursday passed reso- lutions opposing the bill of Senator 3 Walter Brewer, to include the steel plant and Semet-Solvay company properties in Birmingham. Upon motion of George R. Byrum, the club went on record as disfavoring the plan and the public affairs commit tee of the Kiwanis club was in struced to keep in touch with the bill and send delegation to Montgomery if necessary and inform the senate committee of the disfavor in Ensley towards the bill.
 The secretary of the club was in structed to write Senator Brewer of the clubs action and also to send similar communication to the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany. Aside for the action above. the program of the Kiwanls club Tuesday was devoted to real estate men. Hardeman s. Meade led the discussion and told how the first lot was sold In an l1nsley addition opened in 1900. He said he was told that the snly way to buy the first lot would be to be on hand on certain day. He said that B. R. Pegram, his partner, and himself bought a cot and they alternated sleeping on the site until the opening, whereupon they bought the first lot. That act brought forth 6 big story from The Age-Herald which MT. Meade said was helping the firm even until this day. James Dupuy followed with some troubles that come to the real estate man. how the tenant kicks and how the owner also kicks and the opposition of the realty man in be- tween. Albert W. Smith spoke. say ing he believed in his job, else he would quit. There followed J. G. Darden and Jack Lindsay, both of whom made humorous talks.
 The club was entertained by S saxaphone solo by Charles Wilson, for whom the accompaniment was played by Miss Cora Belle Wilson, his sister. Guests were NemrOd w. Scott. the first mayor of Ensley, and Captain F. N. Harris, formerly with the British army who is now asso- ciated with Pegram' and Meade.
 The luncheon was served by the Astor chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, directed by Mrs. J. W. Gam Members pronounced the luncheon the best served so far.

WRONG NUMBER CASE MUST BE TRIED AGAIN
Central Makes a Mistake-Court
 Awards Damages

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 19.- What is believed to be only case in history in which a subscriber was awarded damages from a telephone company for poor service must be tried over again, according to a de- cision of District Judge II. D. Dickin- son, filed today.
 Judge Dickinson declares the yer dict for $1,000 awarded George s. Grimes. Minneapolis attorney, against the Northwestern Bell Telephone EX- change company by jury of Decem- Der l, 1922, is excessive. If there was any damage it should have been for a merely nominal amount, the court holds.
