 Mir. Baker reviewed the records of Generals Scott, Bliss and Riddle.

 Tt thus appears that the three off, ficers to whom you referred each per- formed his duty acceptably and that their separation from the office of the chief of staff in no case involved the slightest reflection upon them. but that. in fact. all three are officers whose services enfitle them to grate ful rememberance sby their fellow citi- zens."

LOVEJOY HEARD AT CIVIC FORUM Able Sociologist Discusses Social and Industrial
 Conditions

Neither the lack of education nor the for the present social unrest, but it is cycle in the course of events, &C., cording to Dr. owen Lovejoy, president of the National Conference of Social Work of New York. who addressed a Large crowd assembled at the public forum of the Birmingham Civic Asso- citation in the association lounge room last night
 Dr. Lovejoy who is said to be one of the ablest sociologists and one of the highest authorities on economics in the United States, talked for 45 minutes to an audience which expressed it's warm approval in frequent bursts Of ap- tplause. In his address, pr. Lovejoy -covered the social, political, economic and industrial field, explaining his lheory of the relationship between the employer and employe and declaring time and again that it is time for a better understanding, better working condition to be inaugurated in the country if we are to avoid bolshevistic developments and other disturbances.9
 In carefully worded explanation of fHe lHuuSLFlal condition WnlCn con- fronts the nation today, pr. Loyejoy declared that many of the things said by reformers to be responsible for the social unheavaI in progress all over the land are really non-existent. We, as nation, are interested in comparatively few things" he declared. Stories of riots, bloodshed, strikes, demonstrations and suicide affect us very little, except in the immediate community where the event occurred. It is only the very big Eest things that count"
 The meeting was presided over by Capt. Frank s White. After the speech, questions were fired at the speaker for twenty minutes. Among the question CTS was Dr. c. B. Glenn, chairman of the public forum and member of the executive board of the Birmingham school system.
 Considerable interes3 was given to the discussion by the introduction of the school teachers organization ques- tion into the question hour. Other in- terrogators propounded questions at Dr. Lovejoy on the teachers federation 1dea which is attracting attention in Birmingham at present, and the dis cussion was warm for several minutes, frank expressions on both sides of the question being heard.

 The semi-official statement issued al London today seems to indicate that the British government is more apprehensive of a move eastward threatening India.
 All these possibilities will be discussed by the important conferences assembling at Paris, It is perhaps significant in connection with possible bolshevilS ac- tivities in the Middle East and the at- titude of the Moslem populations gem erallv toward England. that. whereas a fortnight ago it was stated that Premier Lloyd George had been victorious in car rying the British view in favor of ex' cluding tn e,rurks from Constintinopie and removing the capital of the new Tur- key to Asia Minor against the wishes of Premier Clemenceau and the Fsrencs statesmen who wished to retain the Turks in Constantinople. it is stated now that the French view is prevailing in the Paris conference.
