AT ODDS ON AVIATION
Army, Navy and Smithsonian
Each Wants Laboratory.

Washington, June 24.-There is
chance of lively controversy among
three branches OF the government
over the proposal for the establish
ment of an aeronautical laboratory;
The Navy Department has started
work on something in that line at
the Washington Navy Yard and
hoped for an adequate appropriation
for its development. The War De-
partment also contemplates labora-
tory for this purpose, but nothing
has been done beyond the framing OF
tentative plans.
The Smithsonian Institution also
hopes for such laboratory. Its rep
resentatives have approached mem
bers OF the House Appropriations
Committee with a view TO obtaining
an appropriation Members Of the
House Military Committee believe the
laboratory should be under the war
Department, controlled by army ayl-
ators. and that the benefits Of its IN
vestigations should be available for
the navy.

Petition to Adjourn Gets
Signatures of Restless
Members.
PROHIBITION ISSUE
HOUSE BUGABOO
Once Appropriations Are Passed
Quorum Will Be Difficult
TO Maintain.

Washington. June ga petition
asking the Rules Committee not to re-
mort out special rules for the consider
alton of additional legislation at this
session of Congress is being circulated
and generally signed on the Democratic
siGe of the House. More than one nun
dred Democratic members are said 10
have signed
signatures to the petition have been
comparatively easy to obtain for Two
reasons-thc general desire to adjourn
Congress at the earliest possible date
and an inclination TO sidestep vote on
the Prohibition question. -,
II is reported that the petition, which
has been in the charge OF Representa-
tive Ashbrook, of Ohio, was fathered
bv Democratic members of the House
Rules Committee. who would like an
excuse to dodge that issue.
Tho Rules Committee already has re-
ported a special rule to make privileged
the administration five conservation
hills These measures, in conjunction
With sppropriation bills and conference
reports. are sufficient to keep the House
engaged for at least a month.
4 leader of the House said to-day
that he believed it would be almost M
possible to maintain a quorum after
the annual appropriation bills have
been passed. Democrats are gradual
working themselves up to the point
where they will openly declare for M
early adjournment, and are more IN
clined to follow Mr.. Underwoods plan
than that of the President.
Regardless Of petitions and protest'
however, there is as yet no actual nope
among House members that an cary
adjournment of the present session can
be forced. -,
The Rules Committee is scheduled
TO consider on July the Hobson reso-
luton for a constitutional amendment
to bring about nationwide prohibition
If the Ashbrook petition is formally
presented to the committee it is posi-
BILE that this will constitute loopholS
through which a report may be avoided

are highly mineralized, and We must

and copper. The old mines of tbs
Spaniards are now being r%eopened, an.
we are finding new mines and e
minerals almost every month We
have, you know, the greatest deposits
of vanadium in the world, and We
have vast quantities Of tungsten neal

said to be enormously rich"

Optimism As An Asset

It is safe to say that few features of yesterdays Age Herald were read with greater interest than the local interviews with prominent business men. The business situation was dis cussed enthusiastically.
 Every one of the citizens inter viewed saw business on it's bright side. Most of them spoke of steady improve ment in the business world despite the European war, and particular stress was laid upon the fact that Birming- ham made fine showing at this time in comparison with other cities.
 Optimism is always good asset, and it was never more appreciated than it is today. Optimistic feeling and optimistic talk have much to do with creating substantial values, and cities large and small can learn no better lesson at this time than that of making the best of every situation and striving to push along legitimate business.

MIR. BRYAN ON THE STUMP

From the Washington Star
 MT. Bryan is on the eve of taking the
 stump. and may visit New York. If he should he will be well received and
 starred for the democratic candidates for
 both state and national offices. It was not ever thus There was a tme-and is extended over some years when Mr. Bryan was anathema in the Empire state. Democrats by the ten thousands drowned at the mention of his
 name When he visited the state his
 hosts were the regulars-Tammany men,
 whom nothing could drive into revolt against & democratic ticket or platform. The state rejected his three candidates for the presidency by enormous majori- ties
 But things have changed. New York
 voted for MT. Wilson two years ago, and MT. Bryan is now MT. Wilson's chief ad- viser. He sits next to Macgregor at table and has his chiefs complete confidence. Why, therefore, should not the New York democracy as a whole, and not merely the Tammany division, give MT. Bryan the glad hand and listen to his mes sage?
 Nothing is said about Illinois. But maybe MT. Bryan will visit the Sucker state, too. He may decide to copy in his treatment of Roger Sullivan in this cam
 paign the spirit the New Workers are pre- pared to show in their treatment of him. Mercy and forgiveness are qualities that are catching.
 Mir. Bryan has not liked MT. Sullivan, nor MT. Sullivan MT Bryan. Both are democrats, but with different methods of
 procedure. MT. Bryan, being an orator, believes in and depends upon oratory. Mir. Sullivan. being an organizer, be- lieves in and depends upon organization. But both as politicians are at all times | regular and both two years ago were Wilson men. Both are still Wilson men.
 and MT. Sullivan gives as one of his req
 sons for wanting to sit in the Senate a desire to support as a member of that body the policies which MT. Wilson and MT. Bryan are shaping in the democra- cys name.
 MT. Bryan. though an earnest and de- termined man. is not implacable. He can forgive, and has forgiven much in poli- ties. The case of Mir. Wilson is in point For years MT. Wilson did not accept what was called Bryanism, and held it responsible for the democracys sojourn in the wilderness. But when new light oawned on him and he hailed MT. Bryan as a strong and steady democratic influ- ence. he appeared to MT. Bryan in a new light and the latter nominated and elected him President of the United States. MT. sullivan's case may not be hopeless.

Count Vincenze Macch de Cellerc the new Italian ambassador to the United States, is brilliant and cultured man who has had a distinguished, though short, diplomatic career. JIe was ap- pointed to his present post about a year ago, but was prevented from assuming his duties by a severe illness, which pros- trated the Countess de Cellsre and made it dangerous for her to attempt a change of climate. Both the count and countess are familiar with America and are ex- peeted to be welcome additions to the so- cial life of Washington. They lived in the capital from 1903 to 1904, while Baron Mayor des Ranches was Italian ambas- sador. They attended the opening of the St. Louis exposition and Count de Gel lere acted as charge d'affaires for a short while, after which he was sent to Petro- grad as councillor tn the Italian en- bassy there. The counts first foreign post of any importance was Buenos Ayres where he was sent as first sec rotary of the legation in 1898. In October 1908, he was returned to Buenos Ayres as minister and remained there for five years. Shortly after his return to Rome he was appointed ambassador at Wash
 ington.

Stricken Belgium

The most indifferent observer can not but sympathize with the Belgians in their hopeless struggle against the overwhelming Germans and Tn tns blight of a people who have been prac- tically driven out of their country leaving behind burned villages and shattered cities. And the most dis- tressing feature of their situation IS the fact that the Belgians no more wished for war than the United States desires it at this moment. A peace full and industrious people who had thrived remarkably and were intent only on minding their own business and keeping out of international en- tanglements were suddenly confronted with the humiliating alternative of allowing their neutrality to be ruth lessly violated or taking up arms to withstand the invader. With a hero- ism that will be the theme of song and story in years to come, the Belgians seized arms and fought gallantly against odds that made any hope of ultimate victory out of the question.
 Although the Belgian army is re- ported to be still full of fight" the loss of Antwerp, considered one of the most strongly fortified cities in Flu rope and almost impregnable, seems to mark the last chapter in the trag- edy of Belgium. Everywhere the Germans are victorious and the coun- try is at their mercy. Thousands of refugees have already fled to England and Holland Nothing could be sadder than the plight of these unfortunate people forced to quite their homes and their native land, most of them carry ing all they possess in small bundles. And this at time when our boasted civilization was depended on to keep peace at least among the more len frightened" nations.
 According to recent dispatch there are now 600,000 Belgian refugees in Holland. Great numbers of them are being cared for in England. The hos pitality of the good Dutch is already taxed to the breaking point and they are anxious for some of the refugees to return home. Hardly any migra- ton in the history of the Israelites, Kalmucks or Tartars can equal it. writes one correspondent in describing the pitiable flight of the Belgians. We'll may humanity bow it's head in shame.
