GIVE PLANES IN PUNCHES
The German Air Fleet Being Surren-
dered Little at a Time.

London, Dec. 5.-There will be no
formal surrender of German airp1anes
as was at one time expected. because
it has been found impracticab1e to as
semble 1000 airplanes at one place
and it is doubtful whether Gerpany
has a sufficient number of reIia BILE
pilots for that purpose. Hence the
first surrender in history of an air
fleet is being effected by piecemeal.
The Germans are shedding their wings
in the course of retreat and the ad-
vancing allies are picking them up.

O|L INDUSTRY ID
 REGULATE AFFAIRS Effort Will Be Made to Avoid Direct Govern
 ment Supervision

New York, August l4.-The oil indus i try, through the national petroleum service committee, has undertaken volun- tarily to regulate it's own affaris, par ticularly the prices, premiums and move- ment of crude oil, and thus avoid di- rect government supervision, under n plan announced here tonight by A. c. Bedford, president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, and chairman of the committee.
 The plan, which is to be in force un- til November l, and thereafter as long as the committee may determine and the government approves, was decided upon after the committee had consulted with oil men in all parts of the country. It has the sanction of M. L. Reaua, direc- tor general of the oil division of the na- tional fuel administration, who how ever. has sounded warning that if prices are not stabilized and it becomes necessary for the government to step in, premiums may be entirely wiped out,
 as present posted prices are ample to stimulate and encourage production.'
 The plan provides that purchasing companies shall continue to purchase crude oil at the posted market price, tlltL WIlC llOW Day d PI CilI- um for, crude oil hereafter be permitted to pay certain stated premiums, substan- tially the same as those now in effect, and that all contracts made for the di- version of crude oil from its existing channels are to be first submitted to com mittees on conciliation and cooperation created by the trade.
 These committees, MT. Bedford stated, will consist of an equal number of pur- chasers and producers of crude oil, and at least one and not exceeding three disinterested men of standing in the com munity.
 The actions of committees are to be reported to the national petroleum war service committee and if dispute arises, which the national committee cannot set tie, the question is to be referred to the oil division of the national fuel ad- ministration.
 MT. Bedford pointed out that the whole purpose of the plan was to convince the industry and all connected with it that they must use every effort to settle within their own councils all matters of dispute and difference before burdening the oil division with their troubles, there by carrying out to the fullest extent feasible principles of self-government."

MORGAN

Decatur. August 14.-(Special. )-Until
 the official canvass. is made tomorrow afternoon, the final vote on a number
 of close races in Morgan county will not be known. Partially complete re-
 turns show that Brandon has carried
 the county for governor. although just
 the plurality by which he wrested vic-
 tory from Kilby is yet undetermined
 Dr. J. |. Gunter, Brandon campaign manager. claims the county by 200. and
 the figures are generally considered conservative.
 The county gave an overwhelming majority for Bankhead for United States senator, and also gave fiatter- ing vote to Hon. w. w. Callahan of this city, in his race for Congress. How ever, the other counties of the district, probably without exception, returne ] maj6rities for Hon. E. D. Almon of Tuscumbia, the incumbent, who is elect
 ed by a majority of probably 2500. The closest county race was that for sher- |in, with Wv. Davidson of Albany and |B. E. Davis of Falkville as the prin- |cipal contenders. Unless the official count upsets present figures Davis has
 won by majority of 100.
 Tn the legislative fight s. A. Lynne, prohibitionist, has been chosen to the l
 Lille are lighting 1t out for the other place, with Brindley leading.
 The Second senatorial district. com posed of the counties of Morgan and lawrence. went overwhelmingly in ia vor of the amendment. Smiths majority in his home county of Lawrence is 1000. and his majority in the district at least 15OO. He defeated Judge William r. Skeggs, former probate judge. who ran on an anti-amendment ticket
 The race for solicitor of the Eighth circuit was nip and tuck affair, with David C. Alnon of Albany and John k. Sample of Hartselle both claiming that they were first under the wire. From present returns it is apparent that AL mon has carried Limestone and Madi- son counties and Sample Morgan and Cullman counties. Lawrence county h

Closer Co-Operation
 Is to Be Promulgated

London, August 14.-According to the Evening News, Lord Reading, the Brit ish ambassador to the United States, who is here on visit, will discuss with Premier Lloyd George and Arthur J. Balfour, minister of foreign affairs, certain proposals for closer Anglo American cooperation, both during the war and afterwards. The news paper states the proposals involve an offensive and defensive alliance in which the cooperation of other demo- cratic nations will be welcomed.
 Lord Readings visit, however. has mainly to do with certain financial re- adjustments connected with the as- sumption by the United States of re- sponsibility for loans to allied nations heretofore borne by Great Britain, the Evening News says, with the conclus- ion of negotiations for certain further loans in which the United States, Great Britain and France are to par ticipate.
