itol. Charles Edward Russell, former So
cialst and now member of the returned
mission to Russia, today denounced all
persons proposing peace at this time, or
falling in answering support of the ad-

Mr.. Russell was particularly severe in
his criticism of socialists and members
OF Congress aiding the peace propaganda.
Incidentally, he declared as a result of
peace activities in the United States. So
cialsts have absolutely ruined their party.
Mr.. Russell said the party now consists
of little more than an alien pro-Ger-

such uplift as they could bring to the
working people, he said. must seek else
where for political utilization.

FEAR LOSING CAR SERVICE

Citizens of Cloverdale and territory, a
prominent residential suburb of Mont
gomery, We're excited Friday when re-
ports became general that the Montgom-
cry Traction company had determined to
remove the tracks of the Cloverdale line
which runs by the Woman's College of
Alabama, and touches the property of the
Wocdley Country club. in order that the
rails might be used in double tracking
or extending the Pickett Springs line to
the new divisional training camp.
That portion of the Cloverdale line pro-
posed to be eliminated is out Of the city
and Montgomery officials cannot protest
However, citizens of Cloverdale are TAX
ing a petition which will be submitted
to the Alabama public service commits
sion if necessary. They claim the Clover
dale line is paying one, that several
hundred young women are served at the
college during nine months of the year
and that the line only recently was ex-
tended to the Woodley Country club after
a contract was made between the street
railway company and the organization OF
the club
Richard Tillis. president of the street
railway system, verified the report that
his company contemplated the removal
of tracks from certain portions of the
line and also a portion of the Carter
Hill line, which extends through a negro
section.

Department Commanders
Relieved of Supervision
Over Guard and New Army

washington, August 10.-Army depart
ment commanders, by war department or
ders, issued today, are relieved of the
national army environments, and National
Guard camps within their departments,
and will devote themselves entirely to
the regular troops within their jurisdic-
lions.
The effect of this order, unless there
are changes in the high commands will
be to keep some of the best known Amer
lean commanders, such as Major General
Wood, Major General j. Franklin Bell
and others in department commands, at
home, instead of sending them with the
armies to Europe.
There are to be more than 200 new gem
erals appointed within the next few days
1t is of course possible that some of
these, others, might be assigned to
the regular departments to permit send
ing the high line officers with the fight
ing army
The order relieving department COM
manders of the command of guardsmen
and national army units is closely con-
nected with the plan for adoption of
tactical units of the sizes used in the
European armies and is calculated to
secure quicker action from all divisional
commanders BY having every division
commander report direct to Washington
and arrange for his supplnes without
the delay incident to the orders passing
through department headquarters, gem
eral staff officers have calculated that
great part of the lost motion in the
big war machine can be removed.
The department commanders will have
much left to do in the routine of their
departments Much of the expanded reg
ular army probably will be stationed for
months to come in General Wood $
southeastern department for reorganiza-
ton and training.
