AMERICANS IN BIRMINGHAM

The entry into the war of the United States of America has led several American residents in Birmingham to unite in offering their services to such of their fellow-countrymen as may come to Birmingham on duties connected with the war, to give them hospitality. The American Consulate in New Street will act as a bureau of information for them. All Americans who are resident in the Midlands are invited to send their names and addresses to the Consulate, where also should be sent the names and addresses of any Americans in service in any of the Allied forces who may be visiting the Midlands at any time, or who may be in hospital.
