Musical Artists to
 Be Heard Next Week

A genuine musical treat is promised Birmingham for next week. The cycle of two concerts at the Tutwiler March 21 and March 22 at S:15 D. m. will be of notable interest.
 >Ilya Schkolnik, the celebrated violin ist, will be a star attraction, and so, too, will be Constance Alexander, so- prano. Rafael Navas will be at the piano. A choice programme for both evenings will be arranged and all mu- sic lovers will, it is thought, be de- lighted.
 The cycle" will be given under the auspices of and for the benefit of the Frances Willard local of the Young Women's Christian Temperance union.
 Both of the solo artists have been indorsed in strong terms by the New York press. The New York Herald says of Schkolnik: He plays with beauti- ful tone, rich and vibrant. His chief gifts are imagination and temperament. Fascinating rhythm, vigorous and bold, almost Morse In quality, made his per formance of the Sinding Concerto of throbbing interest"

MISSISSIPPI MAN
 OUT OF SERVICE
Ensign Oscar Newton, Jr., of Jackson Has Been Engaged in Aerial
 Mail Service

Ensign Oscar Newton, Jr.. of Jackson. Miss, passed through Birmingham yes- terday en route home. following his dis charge from the naval aerial service of the United States. MT, Newton has been stationed at Hampton Roads, Va, for the past year. He said that after the armstice was signed, something like 2OO
 pilots were sent to Hampton Roads ana
 the training station was put to consld-
 erable trouble in finding something for
 the embryo aces to do. With the in-
 augurat ion of the aerial mail service di-
 rectly after the war, many of the aVia-
 tors, found real work. One of these serV-
 ices was established between Hampton
 Roads and Washington and one between Yorktown and Washington, and in this
 service MT. Newton has been working
 as a pilot for the past three months. lie states that two planes leave Hampton Roads at P o'clock every day and two leave Washington, and that they run OH schedule time regardless Of whether they have any mail to carry. He states that he has frequently made the trip without carrying a single letter
 "Of course l am glad to be going home a gain" said MT. Newton but you know I leave the service with distinct 1eei- ing of regret. The past year has peei one of the most enjoyable of my life, and I wouldn't give my experiences ana the things that I have learned for any thing in the world. It's fascinating game, this flying. and the chances te serve my country but added to the hap piness I have felt in training to be an aviator"
 Mir. Newton at the time of his enlist ment was student at Princeton uhi- versity, and he plans to return to schoo l the coming year and finish his educa- l tion, and then, who knows, as ne says I where this flying business will haVf 1 gotten to by that time?

COULD EXTEND SCOPE

T venture to suggest the scope of the
 leagues work might well be extended
 beyond what is now contemplated A
 substitute for war must be able to deal
 with every situation that becomes
 cause of war. One of the most fruitful
 causes of war has been the necessity for
 expansion Growing nations feeling the
 necessity for more room. have often
 gone to war on some clumsy pretention
 The right to live is one of the inalena-
 ble rights. It is a primal right that must
 be recognized in nations as well as in- dividuas
 Nations exercise the right of taking unused land and distributing it among those who need it. So, if the league of nations is to substitute reason for war, it must be able to deal with claims that are made for the waste places of the earth A nation feeling a need for more territory should be able to go before the league and present it's claims and point out the territory which it can use to ad- vantage. The council should consider the claim and advise upon it. and the force of public opinion should be used to se- cure such an adjustment of equities, as would afford a peaceable means of se- curing needsd territory. Such adjust ] ments could be made the easier if the league indorsed the proposition that any nation extending it's sovereignty over new territory should stand ready to pur- | chase the property of residents who do not desire to remain under the new sov- ereignty. The resident does not go with the land. He has rights independent and superior to the right to the land. If against his will, he is brought under new sovereignty, he ought to be able to sell his property without loss. and choose a sovereignty of his own like.
 | 'I have suggested what seemed to me | to be desirable changes. some being notifications, some being merely more explicit statements. I conclude as l be 1 gan, that while we should endeavor to make the league as nearly perfect as possible we should not allow it's iinper- 1 factions to lead to it's rejectiona We must l take risks no matter whether nue rac' cept the league or reject it.. The risk we take in accepting it are less than the risk we take if we reject it and turn | back to the old ways of blood and | slaughter God grant that those who are entrusted with the launching of this | great work may have the wisdom to SC purge 1t of selfishness and greed, and
 so infuse into it the spirit of the Prince
 of Peace as to make it the end of war
