''And I have asked George B. Ward and Frank P. Glass how they stood on these principles, and if they could not sub scribe to them, to tell us the reason they could not And I have asked them to tell us the principles of that great religious secret order which is espous- ing the candidacy of George Ward to a man in this campaign, and they have not answered. I challenge them again to tell the people of Birmingham where they stand; I defy them to do so."
 Dr. Barrett, as in his former speeches, declared for municipal ownership of wa ter and light and power plants, for the extension of the sanitary sewer system, for improved highways, for free text books in the public schools, for the en- llargement of the public health system, for the elimination of tuition charges in
 the public school, for the conservation
 of the city's franchises, and promised to veto any street tax ordinance which might be passed by the board.
 K. D. McArthur was the first speaker. Judging by the statements of MT Ward. !" he said, the president of the
 commission has been a mere figurehead.
 From his statements it seems that Jim
 Weatherly has been running the whole
 thing and is responsible for all the con
 ditions now existing. He always replied, lI voted just like MT. Weatherly

BARRETT SAYS HE WILL MAKE FIGHT ON DECENT LINES North Birmingham Club Formed at Meeting Held
 Last Night WEATHERLY GIVEN
 GREAT RECEPTION Chairman Shelby Has More to Say About Secret Conference Held
 at the Tutwiler Hotel in
 Wards Behalf

Dr. Barrett was accorded a great reception at North Birmingham last night when he addressed fully 300 voters of that section.
 The hall over Walkers new drug store was filled to overflowing, many being unable to gain admittance. It was as enthusiastic crowd as any that has turned out to hear the East Lake candidate during the past week. And it was practically unanimous Barrett audience, almost everyone signing the roster of the Barrett club, which was organized during the progress of the meeting.
 Besides the speech of Dr. Barrett, talks were made by F. D. McArthur James Weatherly and John Shelby. ]. L. Mack ey was chairman of the meeting and was also elected chairman of the North Bir- mingham Barrett club.
 Dr. Barrett's address was practically the same as he has delivered previously during the campaign.
 FAIR AND DECENT CAMPAIGN
 When I entered the race against George Ward for president of the city commission he said, T expected the campaign to be conducted along fair and decent lines. I have tried to keer my part of it free from vituperation, abuse and islander and I shall do this until the close. have not attacked the private character of any man, whether he is for me or against me, and shall not do so.
 T have asked George Ward from every platform from which I have spoken ir this campaign, and I now ask Frank P. Glass, his mouthpiece. to show te the voters and citizens of Birmingham one single constructive, progressive meas. ure that George Ward has initiated fathered or sponsored during the foul years that he has been president of the board of commissioners, and George Wards answer has been bitter per sonal attack upon those who oppose him
 They charged me with being wha' they term T. A. I read to them the principles of a patriotic organization which they might term the T. A. tolt them that I stood squarely for those principles and those principles declared for the public school system maintained upon the broad basis of American democ- racy; that they declared for free speech free press, the appointment of mer and women only as school teachers whose Americanism was unquestioned, no ap. propriation of public funds for any sec tartan purposes whatever, for the Biblt in the public schools, and for Old Glor, as the highest emblem of authority 1T the land.

Vienna Papers Say Austria
Nav Make Separate Peace

Copenhagen, June 30.-The East
German Rundschau Of Vienna, the
organ of the German nationalists,
complains in recent issue of machi-
nations in certain circles within the
empire in favor of an Austrian en-
deavor for separate peace with the
entente and tending to destroy good
relations with Germany.
The report is prevalent in these
circles, particularly in the industrial
districts, the Rundschau asserts, that
Austria Hungary could long before
this have had peace with its enemies
if it had not been bound by the Ger
man alliance and that Prussia alone
is responsible for the continuance of
the war.
Tales of dissonance between Aus
tria-Hungary and Germany also are
in circulation and a semi-panic re-
Gently occurred in certain districts

DRY CLAUSE WILL
COVER WHISKY ONLY
Indications that President viii
Not Be Given Authority to
Stop Making of Beer
and Light Wines.

Washington, June 30.--Prohibition
features of the food legislation en-
crossed senate leaders today while
debate continued on the food control
bill.
Prohibition legislation, it was gen.
orally predicted, will be confined to
distilled liquors following President
Wilson's suggestion to prohibition
leaders to drop the fight against man
ufacture of beer and wines.
Leaders discussed many proposals
for compromise on the liquor issue,
but with little prospect of agreement.
A clearcut fight and vote next week
was in prospect, with both factions
admitting that because of the presi-
dents intervention prohibition would
extend only to distilled spirits.
Senator Martin, the democratic
leader; Senator Chamberlain, in
charge of the food, and some of the
other leaders planned and predicted
adoption of an amendment stopping
only liquor distillation and giving the
president no authority to stop wines
and beer. Senators who conferred
with the president are confident that
even if given such authority he would
not exercise it for the present at
least.
The "dry forces" admitted by their
leaders to be without the votes to
stop manufacture of beer and wines,
are divided on giving the president
any authority over the light bever-
ages.
Anti-Saloon league leaders in con-
ference here today decided on a
"hands off" policy toward the situa-
ton and in letter to President Will
son, to be drafted later, will express
a willingness to leave the question
to congress and to the president in
view Of the national emergency,
