ATHLETIC CLUB ASKS.
 FOR PROTECTION OF . STRONG FEDERAL ARM

The Birmingham Athletic club Tuesday made formal request of United State District Attorney c. B. Kennamer to file a petition in the federal court for a temporary in junction against officers, members agents, servants and employees of the Birmingham Athletic club restrain ing them from having liquor on the premises. President Karl Landgrebe of the club made the request.
 Explaining this unusual step, President Landgrebe stated tc the district attorney that we believe we are subserving the best inter- ests of the Birmingham Athletic Club in asking for this injunction. The Birmingham Athletic club has never engaged in the sale of liquor even when it was not a violation of the law to sell same. But unfortunately liquor has been brought on the pre- misses.
 we believe that we will render the membership of the club and the community at large a signal sery- ice by having the strong arm of the federal government toSaid us in the promotion of clean, wholesome ath- letics."
 Attorney Kennamer Tuesday filed an application for the temporary in- junction. It will come before Judge Grubb later as he is out of the city,

PARIS, Jan. 30.-It is for Turkey to say whether the council of the League of Nations shall take up the question of the frontiers of Anatolia and Irak, and the disposal of the pe- troleum deposits in the Mosul region.
