LONDON, June IA. -Editorially the
British press treats Senator Warren G.
Harding kindly. The writer's emphasize
the fact that the Republican nominee
for the American Pres dency is a COM
promise candidate, less extreme in his
views on international questions than
either Hiram Johnson or Herbert
Hoover. The newspapers voice desire
to assume neutral position on the
American political campaign, but they
admit that they are profoundly in
terested in the candidates and policies
of the two greater political parties.
Many correspondents stationed in
America describe Harding as con-
servative, who is unlikely to look with
favor on the extension of his country's
activities beyond its own frontiers.
This prompts "The Globe" to say:
"The destiny of all mankind must
ultimately be affected by the course
taken in any serious crisis by the great
Republic, and in some sort its Prcsi-
HARDING is credited with favorino ro,

circumstances to soften something of
its old rigidity. For good or for evil,

WASHINGTON, June IA national
sugar distributing committee, COM
posed of retiners, importers, wholesale
grocers and others. has been formed to
ration sugar, it was announced to-day
by A. W. Riley, assistant to Attorney
General Palmer.
The refners and other distributors
will see to it, Riley said, that essential
industries, such as those engaged in
canning and preserving fruits and
vegetables, obtain an adequate sugar
supply through the season when it is
most needed Efforts Will be made to
keep manufacturers of soft drinks and
candies from obtaining supplies to an
extent that might interfere with the
food supply. it was stated
The operation Of the committee will
be voluntary, in association with the
Department of Justice. Retlners. by
their sales, believe they can
supply sugar by the most direct routes
and keep a disproportionatc share
from going TO the luxury trade or TO
who buy for other than
pectcd to begin functoning in about
two weeks.
While there is only limited supply
Of sugar to last through the summer
and fall months, Riley said. prcservers
md Gamers would be assured an ade-
quate supply. The monthly require

sugar, it was estimated

All these near-b beer unions have

LUMBER SHIPMENTS
 SERIOUSLY DELAYED
Car Shortage Is Affecting Shipments From South
 ern Pine Fields

Car shortage is seriously delaying Shipments of lumber from southern pine mills to the markets, according to reports issued by the Southern Pine Association.
 During the month of July only half as many cars as were required were secured. The seventy-six mills which are members of the association re- quired fifteen thousand three hundred and three cars to ship the orders for lumber which they had on hand. The railroads were able to furnish these mills with only five thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine cars, or about 37 per cent of their requirements. z The Southern Pine Association, how over reports that not all mills in the south are suffering to the same ex tent. The average is about 45 per cent of the needed cars.
 An inspector has been assigned to in- vestigate the situation after a vigorous complaint was registered by the South ern Pine Association. This inspector has been given authority to grant such relief as may be necessary where seri- ous loss is being entailed.
 The untitled orders reported by the members of the Southern Pine Asso- ciation during the last week in May represented fifteen thousand six hun ded and thirty-two cars. while for the week ending August 14, the mills had orders for twenty thousand cars of lumber. Railroad men promise no re- lief for the lumber situation until aft- CT the crops have been moved, but lumber men hope to see the situation gradually improve during the year.

 SPLENDID SHOWING

With the snap and bearing that unit, the Birmingham battalion of the Alabama national guard, in command of Maj. William L. Baldwin, returned yesterday from the fifteen-day encamp- ment at Anniston.

Headed by the Fourth Regi- ment band the five companies paraded down Fifth avenue, Twentieth street First avenue and back up Nineteenth street to the armory on Fourth avenue
 Although loaded down with their packs, the guardsmen presented a 90 per cent better appearance than when fifteen days ago. they departed for camp. They marched with perfect step and demonstrated the snap that won for them the record of being the best drilled organization at Camp Mo- Clellan.
 After storing away their equipment at the armory the guardsmen were dis banded and returned to their homes. The Tuscaloosa company, in charge of Capt. Richard Lollar, marched back to the Terminal Station to catch a train for Tuscaloosa. after taking part in the parade.

TWO POLICEMEN ARE SHOT BY NEGRO WHO
 POSED AS OFFICER
Officers Holman and Fully Have Duel With Negro In Sight of Terminal
 Station

J. c. Holman and Charles Pulley, uniformed policemen, working the Terminal station beat, were shot and badly in- jured, about 9 o'clock last night by Will Blackman negro, who made his escape after the shooting.
 The shooting took. place. down Twentysix street just below Fifth avenue and not more than a hundred and fifty feet away from in front of the Terminal station.
 Holman was rushed to the Birming- ham Infirmary where it is said that he is in serious condition. Pulley was carried to the St. Vincent's hospital but it was later reported the he was not seriously injured as he only re- ceived a flesh wound in the left arm. Holman was shot three times.
 Officer Pulley stated that he and of- ficer Holman received word that a ne- gro impersonating policeman was down on the next corner about to place man under arrest. He said they ran toward the scene at once but when they came close to the negro that he opened fire on them. The officers returned the fire and it iss believed the negro was wounded
 Officer Holman was the first tobe shot and received bullet in the right shoulder. The second shot that the negro fired hit Officer Pulley in the arm, and the third and fourth shots that 'the negro fired landed in Officer Holman's left arm.
 Emergency call officers from police headquarters were on the scene sim- medlately after the shoting occurred and succeeded in tracking the negro 10 the First avenue viaduct just above Twenty-six street where the track was lost. It is believed that-the negro is hiding in some of the negro houses in that vicinity
 witnesses state that the negro had q ponce badge and two pistols in his pos session They also stated that he claimed the government had sent him to Birmingham to arrest certain men.

COUNTY SCHOOL CENSUS SHOWS A
 LARGE INCREASE
Dr. Baker Gives Interesting Figures on School POpu- lation-9S,O49 Children
 of School Age

Jefferson county has 9S,o49 children of school age. according to figures of the school census, on file in the office of Dr. N. R. Baker, county superin- tendent of education. This is an in crease of S.S95 over 1918. when the last census was taken. However, the 1920 census includes pupils between the ages of six and seven, which were not included in the figures of two years ago, when the population amounted to s9.654, it is stated.
 Allowing 5000 children six years of age will leave an increase of 2,395 for the total increase in the county during tween the ages of seven and twenty one. inclusive. according to pr. Baker.
 Using the result of the 1920 cen sus as a basis, it would indicate pop ulation for Jefferson county of Sl3,- 757," stated Dr. Baker. These figures Der of school children by 1-5. This seems about a correct multiplier, since the school age has been lowered so as to include the children six years of age"
 The school census since 1904 is as followes: 1920, 9S,049; 1918. Ss,654: 1916, 75,4s7; 1914. So.173; 1912. 71.72S; 1906, Ss.oO2; 1904, 33,S19
 According to Dr. Baker, the fig ures announced for the 1920 census, es pecially for Birmingham and the ru ral districts are merely preliminary, and exact figures to be announced later may make a material change. In his opinion, this change will not amount to more than 300 pupils either way. He thinks the figures given out at this time are about correct Some people are inclined to use BE as the multiplier in obtaining the total pop ulation figures, he declared. but 1t can be easily shown that this figure is too high.
 The. population of Birmingham has already been announced at 17S,800, he stated. and by dividing these figures by 31-5, we obtained almost the ex act number announced as the school population for Birmingham, namely. 55,S22.
 Jefferson county's population as a whole according to Dr. Baker, has in creased in the last ten years approxi- mately S8,000, as the census of 1919 gave the county a population of 225,000.
