 Slight Slump

Atlanta July 21.-Continuing it's steady and consistent winning game, the At lanta club maintained the leadership of the Southern association through the week, closing with Fridays games, al- though closely followed by the New Or leans Pelicans. The Atlanta team won four games and lost two, while New Or leans captured three out of five.
 Birmingham, returning home on Wednesday for a long period on the home grounds, made somewhat im- proved showing, winning the first three games played after getting back. There has been a noticeable improvement in the box work of the Barons pitchers in the last few starts, the last four games resulting in wins with the home pitchers, allowing the opposing players but three hits to the game.
 Playing against Birmingham and Att lanta during the entire week, the Nash villes were just about to break even on six games, dropping one to the Barons and two to the Georgians.
 Although playing but four games from Sunday through Friday the Memphis Chicks captured three of them, in easy fashion, and the one lost went to New Orleans by score of to 3. The Mem phians showed strength at the bat, get ting 12 hits each in the three games won.
 Chattanooga had another bad week, losing four straight games to the Bir- mingham Barons, two of them on the close scores of to ?, and dropped two others to Atlanta on 2-to-3 scores. The Lookouts won only one game out of six.
 Little Rock was unable to break even, dropping three out of five, but came through on Friday with a 13-inning vic tory over New Orleans after a hard 
 Mobile continued it's losing streak, win ming but one of the four games played. but this win was a well-played 1-to-0 af- fair.

 but fmore likely the recruits will bt ordered to the camps before the gridiron

the bridge carpenters. This move
was made following the offer Of Oak

MIGHT OF US.
TO COUNT ERACT
.RUSSIA'S APATHY
Jules Canbon, French Min
lister, Says War De-
ponds On Us.

Paris, May 1.-THE results obtain
ed at the recent war council held in
Paris were highly satisfactory on all
points, and the American government
has been informed concerning the dis
cussions, according to Jules Cambon,
General Secretary to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. This conference
was attended by Premier Lloyd
George, Admiral Sir John r. Jellicoe,
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, and
MAJOR General Sir William r. Robert
son, representing Great Britain; Rear
Admiral William S. Sims, represent
ing the United States and other mill
tary and naval leaders.
More and more it is becoming evil
dent that the future conduct of the
war is going to depend upon America,
the moral, material, military, and ma
val forces of which constitute factors
of the very highest Importance" said
NJ Cambon. lowing to conditions
in Russia, activity upon the eastern
front may be somewhat slackened by
reason of Russia's interior problems,
but the action of America gives us ad
vantages offsetting what we might
risk losing on the eastern side. 1t
indicates the growing role that Presi
cent wilson ana America are cdIleu
upon to play in the final solution"
Referring to the recent congress
of the Allied nations in Paris, M. Cam
bon said:
"It is an illustration of what Pres
ident Wilson called AN association of
free and democratic nations against
autocracy.''
I'M. Ribot suggested that the next
meeting of the Inter-Allied Parlia-
ment should be held at Petrograd.
This would be significant because thus
the latest centre of democratic action
would be the seat of parliament
representing the liberal nations. The
Parliament of the Allies is destined
lated to play an important role in in
ternational affairs. Heretofore ar
bitration has been accepted as the
chief means for reconciling interna-
tional difficulties and the arbitration
court at The Hague has been set up
with that end in view. But arbitra-
ton presupposes a conflict, and it is
hoped that the Parliament of the AL
lied nations will in time formulate
means for averting conflicts and thus
avoid the necessity of having to re-
sort to arbitration.
"In time the existence of the Inter
Allied Parliament may become the
means of preventing international
conflicts and may constitute per-
manent union Of free nations"
