SEEK u. S. AID

Genoa, May 14-(By A. P.)-
French representatives explained to-
day that the French delegation was
selected to approach the United
States government concerning mem
bership in the proposed commission
on Russian affairs. because 1t was
France that initiated the idea.
France believes that her conception
of how Bolshevik Russian should be
treated more nearly comedies with
the views of the United States than
any other nation.
The plight of the conference with
reference to Russia apparently has
convinced all the delegates that
nothing of a permanent and inter-
national nature can be undertaken
for Russia's reconstruction without
the cooperation OF the United States.

power, they contend make her in
dispensable to any great world

If the Russian commission can be
worked out it is French conviction,

board of inquiry, being allowed to.

FLAMES SWEEP
LIMESTONE With
$4,000 LOSS
CUT NOT LARGE IN
PERSONNEL NAVAL
OFFICERS IN BRITAIN

London, May 14-(By A. P.)-All
men in the naval profession are
deeply interested by an admiralty or
der published Saturday for the re-
tirement of officers necessitated by
the decision of the Washington arm
ament conference for naval reduc-
ton.
The number of officers to be dis
pensed with is not as large as had
been expected or feared in the SER
vice. OF an officer strength Of about
$3.50, a total of 1885 will be retired
from active service. The loss to the
navy of such a number will not be
as severe as the mere counting of
heads would indicate. One officer
officer describes the reduction as
plan to increase the efficiency of the
navy by decreasing the number of
officers.
None of the large number of adj
mirals in the British service will be
retired by the admiralty order, but
many of them will automatically drop
out of the service soon because of
age. Most important to the navy's
efficiency are the experienced officers
Of the line. Captains to the num-
Der of 119 and 200 commanders will
be retired, but the grade of lieuten-
ant commander, which is more i'm
portant to the strength of the navy
two years hence, is not touched.
Thus only 319 of those men, such
as in the American navy are termed
experienced" line officers. which
means those with more than ten
years service. will be lost.
The total reduction in the officers
force of the American and British
navies will not form a basis for
comparison because of the difference
in the organization of the two forces.

Editor POST
At the last meeting of the
town council there was much
controversy as to whether the
concrete rond should follow the
Wood avenue route by the knit
ting mill or be built on the old
dummy line route. The writer
believes that the Wood avenue
route is best because il will be
more beneficial TO the citizens
aud industries that will be
placed on the Southern Railway,
and this one road will answ or
for all purposes. If the dummy
route SIS built il will require two
roads to be kept up The fol-
lowing members Of the council
are for the Wood avenue route:
w. j. Horslcy, mayor. g. f.
Jones and W, w. Taylor. The
following are for the dummy
route; w. A. Baker, W. T..
Goodloe, d. b. Sayers aud
w. j Rogers. The dummy route
has one majority aud unless at
least one Of the majority
changes his views this route
will be used The majority rules
the whole council. The town
trustees are all good citizens
md each has the right to vote
as he thinks best, but honestly
believe that three fourths of the
tax payers prefer the Wood av-
enue route AMI that a serious
mistake will be made if this
road is not built on the Wood
avenue route.
