SMALL SUBSCRIBERS
SWELL LIBERTY FUND;
APPEAL SENT OUT
(Aseeclated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 12.—Small sub

bonds have swelled the Liberty Loan
nearer the 22,000,000,000 mark. Treas

thousands of these are looked for be
fore Friday night, when the sub
scription period closed.
How much the aggregate subscrip
tions have grown from the 21.200,
000,000 total announced last Friday
night Is' not known, because of fail
ure of banks and other agencies so
liciting subscriptions to report defin
ite figures. Reserve banks today
sent broadcast appeals to expedite
these reports, so that the treasury
and the nation may know what pro
gress has been made.
| To workers of the country, Secre
tary Wilson sent this appeal: "If you
cannot buy a bond outright you can
make arrangements with your em
ployers or some banker to buy it on
the Installment plan, or a number of
you can club together, each putting In
his mite, to buy a bond. Every dol
lar counts. Let me appeal to you, as
you value our free institutions, to
make every sacrifice necessary to buy
a bond and do it now."

Dameron Black ’ Testifies
in Hearing of Birming

The •lamination of on* witness con
turned th* «ntlr« first day of tha hear
ln^ before the Alabama Public Serrlci
Comlnlaalon of the petition of tho eft)
of Birmingham for a reduction In tele
phone ratee. Many hl*h officials ol
the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele
Kraph Company were preaent Wednee
day and will remain until the hearing
Is completed, which may require twe
or three more toys.
Dameron Black, expert accountant,
with Alonso Richardson and Company,
certified public accountants, wai
placed on the stand as the main wit
called Wednesday morning and ha wii
■till there, under croaa examination,
when the commission took a recess !r
the afternoon. He was the account
ant who made examination of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company's
books and accounts relating to tha
Birmingham telephone exchange.
The whole effort of the petitioner,
the city of~Blrmlngham, Is to Show
that the telephone company Is receiv
ing excessive returns upon the money
it has actually Invested In Its Birming
ham plant. Mr. Black, with a vast
array of figures, presented In evi
dence, Is attempting to show that while
the book value of the company's prop
erty In connection with the Birming
ham exchange Is approximately $$.
000,000, the actual Investment there'll
only about $2,200,000.
From the cross questioning, con
ducted by General Counsel Hunt Chip
ley, here from the company's headquar
ters at Atlanta, It appears that th«
telephone people will attempt to prove
that the returns received are small, lr
proportion to the Investment, wher
necessary reductions sre made because
of wear and tear, depreciation and ex.
pense.

DR. FRANK CRANE ON
THE LIBERTY BOND

Dr. Frank Crane, one of the beai

aued a stirring appeal In behalf of th<
United States' great Liberty Loai
drive. In which he, with unerring atm
goea right to the meat of the matter li
hand, and. in hla own Inimitable atyle
pleada with the cttlaena of the eountr;
to "do their bit.” Dr. Crane's artlcli
follows:
■Who are youT
‘You expect the aoldlera of the Unite*
States army to stand up and be shot I
necessary to protect you, your homes
your wife and children?
"You expect the boys on the battle
ships to sail into the jaws of. deatl
and to brave the hellflre of enemy- gum
and the assassin thrust of the sneaklni
submarine, all to defend you and you:
neighbors from Invasion?
■'And who are you?
“What do you expect to do? You1
Yourself?
“Did you say the other day that yot
didn't think you'd put your money In I
Liberty Bond because you could bea
that; you could Invest your funds at i
and 10 per cent., ahd you didn't se<
why you should purchase governmen
paper that only pays I 1-2?
"Did you say that?
'■When your country asks you to ad
vanes a measly llfty or a hundred dol
lars to help keep the edifice of civilian
tlon from tumbling, do you prate o
making more by lending elsewhere?
“Say, what kind of a fellow are you
"Do you want other men to sacrifice
their business, their prospects and po
sltions. and go to marching, drilling
and bye and bye starving, sufferlni
from wounds, dying, while you don'
turn your hand over to help?
•What are you?
"Do you mean to say you'll not bu:
all the Liberty Bonds you can afford
that you’ll not come gladly, wllllngl;
up to the scratch and put your name
down as a financial backer of Uncl<
Sam to the extent of your ability? Whi
are you, that you should hem and hav
when others salute the flag with i
blithe smile and step forth to die
There are shadowed homes A plant;
now In France and England, and fron
all appearances there will be others li
this land before this horror Is over
Those tears shed are honorable tears
"Though mothers mourn their flrsi
born and fathers bow their heads be
cause their hopes that clustered arounf
the bright, fine boy have been extin
guished; though wives and sweethearti
are desolate, yet underneath It all they
are proud, there’s a little spot of Joy to
know the boy died for his country,
literally sacrifice his life for liberty?
"But how about you? How will you
feel, you- who wouldn't even obligate
yourself for fifty dollars?
"Wake up! Come a-runnln'l Go right

"RED CROSS WEEK”
-.- *
Pleads With Alabamians
To Give Their Support
To Worthy Cause
Governor Charles Henderson has da
th® w«fk ending June 2S as
Red Cross Week/’ and has Issued a
proclamation calling upon the cttlsens
or every community to take up col
lection and to make contributions to
help the Red Cross In Its work of
saving life and relieving suffering.
The proclamation by the Governor Is
In line with similar movements going
forward In every State and section of
•the United Staets, with the view of
raising a fund of not less than flOO,
000,0(10, the anrount necessary for the
work that has been outlined for the
Red Cross to accomplish during the
first period of the war In which this
country la engaged.
The Governor's proclamation is as
follows:
"The American Red Cross Is the re
cognised agency through which relief
to the armed forces of the nation can
be best administered. For It to be ef
ficient It is necessary that an adequate
sum be provide^ to be used In relief
work. For the purpose of raising this
sum President Woodrow Wilson has
designated the week ending June 25
as Red Cross week.
"The extraordinary demands that
will be made upon us during the war
admonishes us that we should so spe
cialise our efforts that our energies
may be concentrated, thereby bring
ing to each particular line of work
the highest state of perfection ,and
efficiency. We must make our plans
on the assumption that millions of
American troops will be sent to the
wra sone. This means the acquire
ment of tremendous stores of medical
supplies and equipment In order to
make the labors of the Red Cross ef
ficient. It is not only our own sol
diers that must be provided for, but
we must continue to look to the wel
fare of the impoverished citlsens In
the war sone of France and Belgium.
"It Is estimated that tIOO.OOO.OOO will
be necesary to do the work which
has been outlined. Large sums have
been subscribed to this fund by In
dividuals In different sections of our
nation, but In order that we may be
successful in raising the proposed mm
of 9100,000,000 the people generally
must be asked to contribute to this
fund to be devoted to relief work.
"Therefore, believing it to be the
duty and the desire of all citizens to
Join In movements looking to tho al
leviation of suffering and have an In
terest in the conditions surroundlg
our own soldiers who may be engaged
In defending the principles of Ameri
canism, I, Charles Henderson, as Gov
ernor, do hereby designate ths week
ending June 25th as Red Cross Week
In Alabama.
“I request that during said week
the citlsens in every community of
the State shall take up contributions
for this cause and enlist the Interest
of the people In this Important work.
In addition to the efforts that may be
made during the week days towards
securing subscriptions to this fund. I
request that the different churches of
the State devote their collections on
Sunday the 2tth to this laudable pui
pose.
"I suggest that collections be re
mitted to the Red Cross Chapter lo
cated at the nearest point t> wh'ch
the collections are made. Then lias
been at present three Red Cross chap
ters organized In Alabama as follows
Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile.
"In testimony whereof, I have here
