WEBB ANTE-AL|EN
LAND LAW BECOMES
EFFECTIVE AUG. 10
Time for Filing Referendum
Petition Expired Yester-
day, Making Measure
a Certainty

San Francisco, July 20.-The Webb anti
alien land law. passed by the legislature
and signed by Governor johnson more
than two months ago. will become effec-
tive August 10 without interference from
the electorate of the state through the
medium of the referendum. Time for til-
ing referendum petitions against laws
psssed At the last session expired today,
bringirg an end to the threats againsf Tue
Webb act that have filled Tire atmosphere
since May,
At one time two separate movements 10
defeat the act were being planned, one by
the democrats, headed by Theodore A.
Bell former candidate for governor on
the democratic ticket, and one by the
Asiatic Exclusion league, which is afftl-
lated with the State Federation of Labor.
The Bell petitions We're never prepared,
but the Exclusion league was ON the point
of beginning its campaign when the exec
utive committee rescinded it's earlier ac~
tion and voted to take no steps to prevent
the bill from becoming law.
At the monthly meeting of the Exclusion
league today the. report of the executive
committee on the alien land legislation
was made public. The report states that
''the reason the referendum positions were
suppressed was that while the league con-
sders the act wholly ineffective, it is a
step in the right direction
Later, the report continued, the league
expects to bring about the enactment of a
rigorous law barring Japanese, Chinese
and Hindoos from both ownership and
leasing of lands
The report criticises President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan for their attempts to
defeat the passage of an effective alien
land act in Sacramento last May.

VALUE OF THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS

urR. Bryan's announcement of
M the new policy of the United
States towards Nicaragua
was the telegraphic news item Of
Sunday morning.
The fact that certain newspapers
did not publish that item, is an
other proof of the fact that with
out the service of the Associated
Press, one cannot furnish his read
ers with the news while the bloom
is on it.
The Associated Press, the great
est news gathering agency of the
world, serves The aAge-Herald ex-
clusively in the Sunday morning
field, and for that reason, the tele-
graphic news OF Sundays Age
Herald cannot ne approached by
the teIegraphic news of any other
Birmingham newspaper.
The Sunday morning edition OF
The Age-Hesald in all OF its deparA
ments conciusively proved that this
papers ability TO gather and pre-
sent the news in attractive form Is
incompatible.

ROUMAN|A TO TAKE
PART IN GENERAL
TERMS FOR PEACE
Sends Delegates To Nish To
Arrange for Armistice.
Bulgaria's Offer Is
Accepted

Sofia, July 2o-On the advice of Austria
and Russia, the Bulgarian government.
with a view to securing peace. has offered
Roumania an important cession of terri
tory, which Roumania has accepted II is
announced that an agreement has been
reached whereby Roumania will partici-
|ppta 81 the general peace negotiations,
and that sch already has sent delegates
to Nish to arrange for an arnistice.
The new coalition cabinet under the pre-
lmiership of NJ. Radoslavoff, liberal leader
in the Bulgarian parliament, has been
constituted as follows:
Premier and Minister of Interior-M. d.
Radoslavoff.

Turco- Bulgarian frontier will be the River
Martha. The porte saddles Bulgaria with
responsibility for any fighting that may
ensue.
Bucharest. July 20.--The new Bulgarian
government in an appeal to Roumania
asks that peace be negotiated. This re-
quest has been refused the Roumanian
ofa aay,f
clude separate treaty only
London, July 20-The advent cf a new
Bulgarian cabinet. comprising a coalition
of the liberal groups. seems to have
brought prospect that peace negotia-
tions soon will be entered into. After
vain attempts to negotiate separately
with Roumania, the Bulgarian govern
ment accepted the advice of Austria and
Russia and offered Roamania an i'm
portant territoial concession. Bulgaria
also sent delegates to meet the Servian
and Greek, and presumably Roumanian
representatives at Nfsh to negotiate an
armistice and peace.
1t is confirmed from Athens that Ser
via, Greece and Montenegro are ready
to participate in these negotiations
Turkey however, has introduced a new
complication and has notified the Euro
pean powers of her intention to make
the Martha river the new frontier. Civ
ing as her reasons that rfle always has
claimed this frontier. but that the
powers set aside the claim in order to
expedite peace: that the porte would be
prepared to settle the question by dip
lomatic means, but that the atrocities
and vandalism of the Bulgarians in the
occupied territory malSs it impossible to
hope for a diplomatic settlement. and the
new conditions arising from the last war
between the Allies make it doubly neces-
sary for Turkey to obtain a frontier
guaranteeing safety for ConstantinopIe
and the Dardanelles.
The porte promises not to cross the
new Martha. frontier, and asks the
poweFs' assistance in establishing II so
as to secure durable relations between
Turkey and Bulgaria.
1t is not considered likely that Europe
will permit the decisions of the London
conference thus to be thrust aside.
