Limitation of Armament.

1T is a problem closely connected
with the Limitation of naval arn-a-
ments and the cooperation of the ma
vies of the world in keeping the seas at
once free and safe. And the question
of limiting naval ornaments opens the
wider and perhaps more difficult Ques-
ton of the limitation of armies and of
all programs of military preparation.
Difficult and delicate as these ques-
tons are, they must be faced with the
utmost candor and decided in a spirit
of real accommodation if peace is to
come with healing in it's wings and
come to stay. Peace cannot be had
without concession and sacrifice. There
can be no sense of safety and equality
among the nations if great preponder-
ating ornaments are henceforth to
continue here and there to be built up
and maintained. The statesmen of the
world must plan for peace and nations
must adjust and accommodate their
policy to it as they have planned for
war and made ready for pitiless con-
test and rivalry. The question of arm
aments whether on land or sea is the
most immediately and intensely prac-
teal question connected with the future
fortunes of nations and of mankind.
At Liberty to Speak.
81 have spoken upon these great
matters without reserve and with the
most explicitness because it has SEEM
ed to me to be necessary if the world s
yearning desire for peace was any
where to find free voice and utter
ance. Perhaps I am the only person
in high authority amongst all the peo-
pies of the world who is at liberty
to speak and hold nothing back. 1
am speaking as an individual and yet
am speaking, of course, as the re-
sponsible head of a great government
and 1 feel confident that l have said

The Russian artillery, long inactive from lack of shells, played an important part in the defeat of the Austro- Germans at Kentucky For two days a rain of iron was thrown into the German posi- tions and Berlin says officially that they were turned into a crater field. The Rus sians not only carried three lines of Ger man trenches and Koniuchy, which was strongly fortified, but also advanced to the Koniuchy stream south of the vil- lage, which is on the Zlota Lipa river.
 The Russians carried the fortified posi- tions at several points in the face of a desperate resistance by Austrian, German and Turkish troops.
 Minister of War Kerensky personally led the Russian revolutionary army in it's forward movement and in a message to Premier Lvoff said that the offensive proved to Russia and the entire world it's fidelity to the revolution and its love for liberty and country" The premier has authorized Minister Kerensky to give the regiments which participated in the

MONTHLY REPORT OF
 HUMANE SOCIETY
Valuable Animals Saved by Proper Care and Detention, Claims
 Officer

The advance report of the Birming- ham Humane society for the month of June, submitted by F. G. Greedy, hu- mane officer, shows material differ ence from that of previous months in that the number and value of animals saved for further usefulness by proper care and attention far exceeds that of the animals humanely destroyed. For instance. the humane officer was called to kill mule laying by the roadside, badly injured and apparent
 ly dying. This animal was given proper care and feed and is now doing good work on the farm. Another case is that of horse which fell into Il creek in the western end of the city and was reported to the society as ono that should be destroyed. With the assistance of an obliging contractor and six of his men this animal was hauled out and restored to his owner.
 Complaints received, g, as follows. Cruelty to children. 1; to horses, 6; mules. 3; cats and dogs. 6; others, 5. Warnings issued, 5; horses ordered from work. 3; medical attention, 5; animals humanely destroyed. 4; frivo- lous complaints, f. P J. GREELEY,

HUTCHINSON TELLS OF THE HARD TASK FACING TIE ALLIES Flight Commander Visits Birmingham After Service in French Aerial Corps AMERICA IN TIME
 TO TURN THE TIDE Praises Red Cross Association, Elks, Y. NJ. c. A. and Other Relief
 Workers Among Men in
 the Trenches

Flight Commander J. B. Hutchinson of the French aerial corps, who was in Birmingham last week, talked very in terestingly of conditions at the front. He was originally from Birmingham, but has been in the French service since the latter part of 1914 He has had some ad- venturous experiences, having been wounded more than 8 dozen times, shot down from the skies several times and captured once. He Is covered with scars where he has been shot. his right arm has been broken seven times and his left arm five times He has had six ribs frac- tured and both legs broken several times. This shows how dangerous the life Tn the aerial corps is.
 Commander Hutchinson brings an earn est plea for men to enlist now and help the ones already in the fight. He de- clares there Is the greatest chance now that there will ever be for promotion, be- sides the fact that the need is most acute, and one will do more for his country by volunteering now than by waiting to be drafted.
 He says that the only reason why France and England have not beer whipped long ago is, the aid that has been given by American intuition manu- facturers and volunteers in the foreign legion, and that the only hope for ulti- mate victory Is for every American te realize what his duty is and to at once set about doing 1t. The Germans are not slipping the least bit except in Brit ish war dispatches. he says, and are as we'll fed and clothed as the allies. The war cannot end in less than three years and may so many more. The two sides have come to a deadlock, and it will take all the strength of the United States to break it.

 No accurate count of the number of ne- groes attacked was obtainable, many, of course. getting away with slight in- juries.
 At 1:30 the rioting grew more serious. A car was stopped the trolley pulled from the wire and a mob invaded the coach, One negro was taken off and shot He died in an ambulance. While this dis turbance was raging another car ap- peared The car was halted and women and girls boarded it, and, sezlng negro women, dragged them into the streets, where they were beaten.
 A few minutes later one black was shot in the head Another negro man died in an ambulance from wound in the head.
 Some of the men in the mob began to fire. William Keysey, hardware mer- chant, was killed by stray bullet.
 One negro was shot, and killed as he was waiting for a train to take him out of town.
 About o'clock mob raided a pawn shop and carried away rifles and revol- , yers.
 The race troubles here began late in May as result of the heavy influx of negro labor. Labor leaders then ex- pressed a fear that the negro labor was being imported to- break anticipated strikes during the summer. 4 On May 28 crowd of white men de- manded of the city council that the ne- gro immigration be stopped, After the meeting adjourned race riots occurred.
 The next day state troops arrived. There was considerable disturbance the night of May 29, two white men and three negroes being shot, but within a day or two order was restored and a few days later the troops were withdrawn.
 An investigation by the state council Of defense was made and they reported that labor agents had induced negroes to come here from the south. This report Vas made public last Saturday. Up to that time there had been no serious in- dications of a renewal of the rioting.

They left for New York later.
 Miss Pomeroy, who is about 25 years old had been working in a cigar fac tory since her arrival in this city. The only explanation she made to her father relative-to her disappearance was that ac- quaintances in New York had dispar- aged her ability as clerk and that she had decided to come to Philadelphia.

The third year of the war found the University Of Vienna suffering about as severely from the effects of the struggle as any of the German colleges. Reports in the Vienna press announce that only 300 new students enrolled for the winter and that the numbers In attendance at the lectures had fallen from some TO- 600 in time of peace to 4000, half of whom were women. Among the women stu dents are many who in peace times stud fed at the universities in Lemberg and Czernowtz.

the Red Cross,'' said Commander Hutch inson. This great organization has done wonderful service to the millions who have been wounded. They are al- ways right on the firing line ready to re. lieve and refresh. There is no telling how many thousands of lives have beer saved through their efforts, besides thu untold good they have done in other ways.
 We who have been in the trenches realize why the Elks are called the best people on earth. They have sent us thou sands of cigarettes and cans of tobacco as we'll as other comforts. Everybody ir the trenches is very grateful to them and if the organization ever need any loyal friends all 1t has to do is to cal on the boys who have been in France,
 The Young Mems Christian associa- ton is another organization that has earned the gratitude of every soldier. The great thing that it has done has been tc furnish bathing facilities for the mer when they come out of the trenches A gallon of clean water in the trenches i; a veritable flood, and the clean water towels and clean clothes that the asso citation furnishes are godsend to a mar after 24 hours In the trenches.
 SWEARS BY DOCTORS
 Every soldier swears by the doctor of the Red Cross ambulances. Int things they have done in surgery are wonderful and undreamed of by the prac- titioners back home. If a man has leg or arm shot off, they will have hin up and around in two weeks on an arti fical limb. The advances they have made make the practices of few years ago seem archaic.
 There is no immediate prospect O the war ending. but the men are al cheerful and never worry. The only thing they fear is being captured. The Germ ans are inhumanly cruel to their pris oners. but we always treat ours well They are put in detention camps, and i they want to work, they are paid for it or if they prefer to loaf, nothing is said When an exchange of prisoners is mad, their men go back in good condition, bu the pitiful fragments of humanity we re. ceive are enough to inflame the hear of the entire world to unite in sweepins the barbarians from the face of thu earth.'
