Sixty Out of 67 Counties of State Have Now Been
 Heard From
RURAL VOTERS ARE
 LINED UP WITH CITY
Jefferson's Majority Considerably Over 1000-Several Counties Vote in Favor of Tick
 Eradication

Almost complete returns from so out of the 67 counties of the state last night showed that the proposed state bond issue was defeated in Tuesday s election by a majority of nearly 5000.
 Estimates on the probable vote in the counties which had not reported as well as the various small beats in many counties late in coming in entered into the estimate of this majority. It is not thought that later official returns will materially change these figures.
 The rural boxes of Jefferson county followed in the wake of the city and cast a considerable majority against the bond issue. This county landed in the column of the bond opponents by considerably more than 1000 major ity.
 Reports from Montgomery last night stated that nearly completed returns had been received there from all the counties of the state with about 10 exceptions and scattering returns had come from most of those. On the fig ures received there, the defeat of the amendment was admitted by from 12,- 900 to 5000.

to the Russians, who have taken strong Turkish positions with comparatively slight losses while the Turks have suf- fered heavily.
 Good progress also is being made in the Russian campaign in Persia, Petrograd declares.
 Importance is attached to these opera tions because although apparently iso- lated, they are held by many military ob- servers as to be taken into considera- ton in connection with the British cam paign in Mesopotamia, all three move ments converging upon the easternmost parts of the Ottoman domain and throw ing line across the path of any Turkish advance further into the orient.
 Little new light has been thrown upon happenings in Greece, whence reports of strongly aggressive movements on the part of the allies came through German sources yesterday. The British foreign office said today that it had no news confirmatory of the German reports and that they are believed to be unfounded

RECOGNIZED DANGER
 OF HYDROGEN GAS

(Continued from Page One) discharge being made when the explosion occurred.
 Miller Reese Hutchinson. representing the Edison Storage Battery company at the inquiry, issued a statement today in which he expressed the opinion that the E-2 was filled with hydrogen gas at the time of the explosion. This would not have happened, he said, had the ventilat- ing system been in full operation.
 "The batteries were no more to blame than boiler that blows up when the water is too low said MT. Hutchinson.
 In direct contradiction to Lieutenant Cooke's testimony MT. Hutchinson said in his statement that there was only one fan in operation at the time of the ex- plosion, which was still running when he inspected the submarine the day after the explosion.

would be of serious injury ito the cause. But it Is said that when the suffra- gettes gather in convention at Gadsden leaders who have heretofore stood to- gether against the world. will stand apart openly-though only politically, of course hostile.
 The young lady who talked with The Age-Herald correspondent, declared that while Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs was not a candidate for reelection to the office of president, she had found it i'm possible to prevent the large and enthusi- astic Jacobs following from indorsing the candidacy of Mrs. Parke of Selma. It is said too, that when delegates to the Gadsden convention were chosen, the voting was done chiefly by that faction of the suffragette colony which had eX- pressed preference for Mrs. Parke.
 It is said Furthermore that at least half of the members of the Birmingham suf- frage phalanX have sworn an oath-fg- office of president for Mrs. Bessie O'Brien Hundley.
 HONOR MRS. HUNDLEY
 It is said that they have concluded to honor Mrs. Hundley because 1t was she who fought the battle of the suffragettes before the legislature in Montgomery, and because she, in many other countless ways, had served indefatigably in the interest of "the cause" The Alabama woman who brought the news to Wash ilgton, declared that Mrs. Hundley was not a candidate in the modern accepta- ton of that term and that she, along with other leaders, was pessimistic in that clouds had gathered above the tent where nothing save the sun should be.
 It is said that the Gadsden conven- ton, as a result of the foregoing, will be interesting. It is regarded quite prob- able, however, that shortly after the publication of this gossip, and before the Gadsden convention, Mrs. Jacobs an6 Mrs. Hundley will, through the columns of the press, elucidate a situation whct is chaotic, but diverting.

MILITIA CURSED BY
 HOPELESS SYSTEM

w c should term1ante the lntO1erable
 system" he declared. ''The soldier ele-
 ment of the militia all want federaliza-
 tion. No man who refuses to come
 into the continental army is to be de- pended upon."
 Under universal service system, the general said, there would be $500, 900 men between Is and 25 years of age
 upon whom the burden of military duty
 would rest counting on only 50 per
 cent of the men of that age. He be-
 lieved, however that every citizen
 should be held liable for some duty to
 the government In case of war. General Wood" asked Senator Cham berlain, 'an untrained army never
 could have resisted Germany in France, could it?"
 They never would have known what hit 'em." answered General Wood A vital factor in the present situa- tlon, he told the committee, was the necessity of building up an officers re- serve corps With 1000 students in the land grant colleges under military training and every important higher educational institution organizing off cers training units, he thought it would be an easy thing to build up the force of 50,000 reserve officers necessary. 4 Asked what need there was now for preparedness that did not exist year ago, General Wood said there were storm signals on all sides and no one knew when the lightning would strike. "The development of the last year, both to the south of us and abroad" he said, indicates that we need to be a little better prepared. There is noth- ing concrete, of course"
 AS TO COAST DEFENSE On the question of coast defenses, he said, the present guns were able to reach range of 34,000 yards if mount ed for a 45-desree elevation. The | trouble was with the gun carriages, he said, which limited their fire to 14,000 yards He placed the United States navy fourth among those of the world powers, Great Britain, Germany and Japan exceeding it in strength. The general said belligerent govern
 ments were buying by the tens of thousands the Lewis machine gun in vented by an American officer of the coast artillery, now retired and re-
 of faulty material used in the weapon supplied for tests. This gun, developed ] three years ago. he explained, ante- dated the one man machine gun of the German army and could be carried and ! fired in any position by a single man. He added that it would be tested here l again soon.
 I To show some of the work underway 1 by the army, General Wood exhibited to the committee the confidential plans i for the defense of Boston, completed recently after nine months of survey l ing and study, and including a line of l defense so miles in length and minute ! in detail. He said the civil engineers 1 of the country were preparing to or ganize a reserve corps to aid in such work in future

 He could have gone to the people with the declaration that he stood for peace and maintained peace. saving thereby 100000 lives and countless millions in fortune. And, if brought to task for alleged neglect of the fu- ture of the country. he could have de- cIared that under his administration. more actual steps at greater expendi- ture had been taken in preparing for a future emergency than under any re- publican. or any two or three rePub- Iican administrations.
 As it is, the future is dark Repre- sentative Kitchin, democratic leader, opposing the preparedness programme, appears confident. Representative Tav- enner of Illinois, democrat, declares that more than 70 democrats of the House are opposed. openly. to the Pres ident's programme.

Recent statistics show that the death rate of pneumonia exceeds tuberculosis If it is necessary, and we know it is, to organize societies for the prevention Of tuberculosis everywhere and carry on sanatoriums for the treatment of the tuberculosis patients; if it is necessary and we know it is, to furnish the re- search into the causes of cancer, and la cilitate hospitals for cancer patients; IS it not also necessary to consider seriously a disease that is now found to be more fatal than even the dreaded white plague?
 For many years past there has been a growing conviction that penumonia is on the increase, and statistics bear this out
 The death rate now surpasses that Of tubercu'o osis, for while the latter in 1915 caused 127.7 deaths per 100000 of the popu-
 ation of the registered area of the United States pneumonia caused 1324 deaths per 100000, and it is certain that the outbreak is now more fatal than for merly. The causes of pneumonia cpl denies and of the increase in recent years will have to be studied much more closely before the situation can be controlled.
 The active prevalence of la grippe ill this city and all over the United States should make 1t compulsory for the city to enforce the anti-spitting law that al- ready exists on the statute books of the
