No Time for Peace.
Says Archbishop

Trinity Church was thronged yester-
day with persons eager to hear the
Archbishop of York discuss war prob
lens. Chairs were placed on each side
OF the choir loft, all the standing room
was occupied and the doors were closed
on crowd o. late comers, r1anv Of
whom waited in the street to catch a
glimpse CT Archbishop Lang and the at
tendaat clergy as they entered their
automobiles.
If this great American nation and
people, said the Archbishop, "can show
that they are not only to speak high
words but do great deeds, to conse-
crate the life of every man and woman
to the mplishment of q mighty
task, to link the cause and nation with
God, then they will indeed be blessed.
If this struggle were merely one for
territory, there would be place at any
time to bargain and haggle. If it were
one merely for advantageous position
N the council of nations, any time
would be good enough to reach de-
cision. If only peace were wanted it
could be had at any time; the sacri-
tices have been enough.

illman Will Run
Again for Senate

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Senator
Tillman, O: South CatVlina. veteran
Democrat of the Senate and chairman
OF the Naval Committee, tonight an
Hounced his candidacy for fifth term.
He SAID the entrance Of the United
States INTO tho war had so changed the
situation slncc his announcement be-
fore the 1914 primaries that he woula
not again seek to succeed himself. that
he now believed he could best serve his
state and the nation BY continuing in
the Senate
At the same time, Representative
Lever. of South Carolina, chairman of
the House Agricultural Committee and
author Of the food laws, issued a
statement saying he had been urged 10
make the race for the Senate, but would
have no announcement, for the present.
1t is understood Mr.. Lever intends to
enter the fight only if he becomes con-
vlnced that Senator Tillman cannot win
over two opponents already in the field,
former Governor Cole L. Blease, and N.
3. Dial, business man of Laurens.
In his announcement, Senator Till
the time when he used to be ready
whenever anyone threw rock at the
South to throw two back He said he
could claim some credit for the readi-
ness of the navy to cooperate with tn >
Allies, and that, with his ability to be of
service to the country as chairman of the
Naval Committee, he felt he would feel
like deserter in the face of the enemy
if he got out.
The Senator gave notice that he would
do no campaigning, saying that, while
his health was better than it had been
in years, it was more important for
him to remain in Washington.

Allies Rule in Air
On Italian Front

LONDON, March 5. Allied supe-
riority in the air is freely admitted
by enemy airmen captured on the
Italian front, according to an official
statement from the British War Office
to-day on the operations in Italy.
German and Austrian aviators who
have been captured, besides admitting
they have been bested in the duels in
the clouds, declare that great damage
has been done to their airdromes and
the machines housed in them in the
last two months.
Atmos pheric conditions on the Ital-
ian front have limited aerial activi-
ties, the official report says. Since the
last report the conditions have been
such that there has been flying only
on one day, when three hostile ma
chimes were destroyed by the British
and Italian airmen.
In the last twenty-four hours there
have been storms, with snow in the
mountains.

THE portion of Secretary Bakers
annual report touching on military
training to be used by the union says
The subject of universal military
training continues to be discussed in
this country. The (War) Department
has not sought and does not now seek
legislation on this subject, chiefly for
the reason that the formulation of
permanent military policy will inevita-
bly, be affected by the arrangements
consequent upon the termination of the
present war. Civilized men must hope
that the future has in store release
from the burden of armament and the
destruction and waste of war"
Opposition also will be made to the
bill introduced by Senator Chamber
lain, providing for compulsory military
training for q period of six weeks for
youths between the ages of nineteen
and twenty-one. This bill is now be-
fore the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee for consideration.

Man Doing Duty on Belgian
Relief Ship Is Shot

Some time between six ard seven
o'clock last night Frank Justice Reuhl,
twenty years old, United States
naval guard on duty on the Belgian
relief ship Elizabeth ben Belgii was
shot IN the head and instantly killed
by Edward Rutemann, another naval
guard. The facts surrounding the
shooting could not be learned owing
to the fact that the navy men refused
either to allow the police to take charge
OF the affair or conduct an investiga-
tion.
Shortly after the shooting occurred, a
New York Central Railroad Company's
tug was signalled and the body OF the
dead seaman brought to the foot Of
west Fifty-ninth Street Policemen
sent from the West Sixty sixth Street
Station were told by the navy men on
the tug that the seaman who did the
