DIR. LOvELADY COMMENTS

When the attention of pr. R. F. Love- lady, president of the board of revenue, was called to Captain Jordans letter last night he said:
 The board of revenue has simply tried to do what was right in this matter. There has been no attempt to show an ugly or mean spirit When the two cap- tains came before the board and asked us to discontinue the amounts we had been allowing their companies we of course granted the request. Then when Captain Noland came before the board and explained the situation of the artsl- lery companies we readily agreed to con- tinue paying rent on their armory be- cause it would have been a serious mon- etary loss to them to have been forced to equip other quarters when they return to Birmingham.
 "We were told that the infantry com panies had no expense now that they are away and we naturally thought it unnec- essary to continue the appropriations we had been making to them"

THINKS COUNTY IS NOT TREATING THE
 GUARDSMEN FAIRLY
Captain Jordan Calls Atten- tiOn to Refusal to Allow the Regular Appro-
 priations
To the Editor of The Age.4erald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: Sir-I was surprised several days ago
 to learn that the board of revenue had cut
 off the appropriation of the military or
 ganizations of Jefferson county A letter from the board had informed me that two-thirds of the June appropriation will
 be paid, and no more. This probably be- | cause mobilization was ordered the 18th, and the last 10 days of June were spent in the federal service.
 So it seems that the county, having been protected by the militia for years has,
 now that the guardsmen are ordered out
 of it's immediate confines, withdrawn it's support In other words, the seven or ganzations with their 700 or more men,
 have been most emphatically kicked out. I was even more surprised to read in yesterdays News Dr. Loveladys S explana-
 tion. It seems that Captain Evans and
 one Captain Osgood appeared before the
 board and advised that the appropria- ton be cut off while the guardsmen were
 in the federal service. I do not know
 Captain Osgood. there being no such off
 cer in the roster, but if the officers men, toned were our old friends Capt. J. Towles Evans and Capt. Hal Halstead, both of the Second infantry, I am more than surprised-I am dumbfounded That either of these gentlemen would volun- tarily relinquish anything that might add to the comfort and efficiency of their
 companies is unthinkable.
 Even if they were so misguided as to
 give such advlce, they had no right to do so. There are seven organizations from Jefferson county, four of infantry, two of artillery and one of the hospital corps None of them have ever authorized any one to ask that their appropriation be taken away. They need the money too badly for that.
 Now that they are going into active service, the $75 per month IS going to be needed more than ever. There will be | many little comforts not prescribed in the l regulations that the boys should have and which they will not be able to get. The commanders who have been counting on this appropriation to help them feed their
 men, and especially the sick, will now 1 have to make them content with the | army straight"
 l Seriously, has the imperial county of Jefferson" become so poor in purse and | spirit, so lacking in appreciation so short l of patriotism, that it must hand the ] guardsman his hat and send him about l his grRa business, without even the poor consolation that his efforts and sacrifices
 are worthy of the paltry sum allowed him
 during times of peace? Very truly yours, 1 MORTIMER H. JOhD---..
 Captain, Fourth Infantry, A. N. G.. Com
 manding Company K, (The Jefferson | Volunteers).

gress seated before him in joint ses-
sion, the president will speak the last

kept the two nations on the brink. of
a break for nearly a year.
Developments yet undisclosed and
OF the most solemn Importance are

An ultimatum to Germany and even
the severance of diplomatic relations
are two most likely eventualities.
The president will receive at the

The oft repeated statement from
the White House and by administra.

MANY OBSTACLES OVERCOME
Petrograd Announces Fall Of City In
Asia Minor After Combined
Land and Sea Attack.

Petrograd, April 19.-,Trebizond, the
most important Turkish city on the
Black sea, has been captured by the
Russians.
The fall of Trebizond is confirmed in
the following official communication
just issued:
"Trebizond has been taken. The
united energetic efforts of u eau
casian army and Black sea fleet have
been crowned by the conquest Of this
fortified town, the most important po-
sition on the Anatolian coast.
"Our valiant troops, after the san
culinary battle of April IA on the Kara
Dere river, pressed the Turks without
respite and surmounted incredible OBJ
stacfes, everywhere breaking the
fierce resistance of the enemy"
Trebizond is a city of Asia Minor on
the Black sea, 575 miles east of Con-
stantinop1e and 100 miles north of Err
zerum, the town stormed by the Rus
slams Feb. Is.
Trebizond has a population of about
10000, including $4,000 Christians.
The Importance of the Black sea
port is due to its command of the
point where the chief trade route from
Persia and Central Asia descends to
the sea.

GERMAN INFANTRY
ATTACKS REPuLSED

London, April 18.-Again the Ger
mans have launched a powerful in
fantry attack against the French posi-
tons: extending from the River Mouse
to Douaumont and again they have
been swept back, except where they
obtained a footing in a small portion
of the Chauffeur wood. -,
By the guns of the French heavy
casualties were inflicted on the at
lacking forces along the two and a
half miles battle front.
The Germans have kept up their
heavy Smelling of Hill 304, northwest
OF" Verdun, and the second lines of the
French in this region, probably with
the intention of again throwing their
infantry forward in an endeavor to
capture these important pofnts-keys

Passes Bill for One
Million Men.
ALL AMENDMENTS FAIL
Scenes Of Excitement Mark
Action on Measure.

Washington, April 19.-An army re-
organization bill that would produce
regular army and reserve military
forces in the United States aggregat-
ing a million men was passed by the
senate without a record vote.
It is a substitute for the Hay bill,
passed by the house, and the differ
ences will be worked out in confer
ence..
On the eve of a joint session Of the
houses of congress to hear a message
from the president on grave interna-
tional: issues, the senate fastened
completion of the bill amid scenes of
excitement, repeatedly rejecting all
amendments tending to reduce the
proposed strength of the army.
In the closing hours of debate the
senate made provisions for a. regular
standing army with a peace strength
of 100000 men, as compared with 140,-
900 in the Hay bill, which passed the
house.
The senate retained after a. close
fight the plan for a federal volunteer
army reserve force calculated to ag-
gregate 261,000 men and f~ederaIized
the national guard forces of the states
at an estimated strength of 289;000
men.
In addition to this combined regular
and reserve force of 100000 men an
amendment was passed to create a
school and college reserve corps in
time of war or" threatened war, which
would recruit q force of trained young
men, schooled by officers Of the regu-
lar army, the estimated strength of
which is estimated anywhere from.
100000 to 100000.
