Order United American Mechanics and a spirit of good fellowship and enthusiasm was in evidence. With Ira F. Randall as councillor and Luther Patrick as vice councillor, there Is great expectation for the activities of the council during the next six months, as both are men noted for their hustle. The installation cere- mony was conducted by E. R. Cal houn, state secretary.
 National Councillor Joseph D. Tun- ison has forwarded a letter to all councils calling on the membership for an increase of 30.000 members by March 1. With such a fine increase as was made during July and August. he says he confidently expects that the so.Ooo increase in January and February will be easy, and in fact, that the increase will much exceed the figure set. which is regarded as conservative. There Is no question that Alabama will make its quota and perhaps exceed 1t.

 Polling the plots of such persons was a part of Huwe's duties as Will helms bodygard. He became body guard to the kaiser in 1910, and from that time until the abdicated ruler fled across the Netherlands border he was his constant attendant. He stood in the receiving line at state functions, accompanied the kaiser on state progresses and excursions, was with the imperial master aboard the royal yacht on visits to European ports. and was his companion on his hunts through the German forests.

MAJOR GENERAL HARBORD
URGES DISARMAMENT

CHAUTAQUA, N. Y, Aug. 21.-
Giants are stirring restlessly In
their slumbers and may be dream
ing dreams" warned Major General
James G. Harbord. Aormer deputy
chief of staff of the army today in
urging action for defense only, a
nation partisan, consistent forgein
policy and cooperation with other
nations of the world for disarma-
ment He was speaking on "disarm-
ament and security" at the institute
on International relations from the
Christian point of view being held
under the auspices Of the commits
sion on international justice and
goodwill of the federal council of
churches. He advocated. the United
States joining in the so-called Amer
ican or draft treaty plan of disarm-
ament.
The former deputy chief of staff
criticized those church leaders who
urge Christians not to take part In
any war. saying that this doctrine
seeking to align the church against
national defense b. war logically
leads to the formation of a clerical
party. He added: If the extreme
religious pacifists we're really desir-
Gus of destroying our independence
they could hardly advocate a more
effective plan.

u. s. And Italy Airmen
Hon off at Greenland
Heading for Southern Tip of
GreenIand-About 825
Miles Over Ice

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Aug. 81
(By The Associated Press) The
American round-the-wor f1iers and
Lieutenant Locatelli. Italian airman,
hoped off from here at S:15 o'clock
this morning.
The fiiers passed the United States
cruiser Richmond, on patrol about
70 miles off the coast from Iceland,
at 9:35 O'Clock.
Lieutenant Locatelli was leading
his American companions, Lieuten-
ant Lowell II. Smith and Lieutenant
Erik II. Nelson. by five miles.
The fiiers are leading for Fred r.
icksdal, near Cape Farewell, at the
southern tip of Greenland, hop of
approximately 825 miles, according
to the plans which were adopted
after bad ice and weather conditions
in the North Atlantic had forced
them to abandon their original in
tention to make the shorter flight
to Angmagsalik or to another harbor
twenty miles north of there which
later also was found to be icebound.
The weather was beautiful and
flying conditions were excellent when
the aviators set out. Lieutenant
Smiths plane lifted from the water
few minutes after o'clock and
Lieutenant Nelson's plane was off
two minutes later.
Lieutenant Locatelli, who caught
up with the Americans in order to
accompany them across the Atlantic
after a lone fight from Pisa. Italy.
got off eleven minutes after Lieuten-
ant Nelson. All of the take-offs were
made easily, none of the fliers hav-
ing the slightest difficulty in jockey
ing from the water.
Lieutenant Smith, the flight COM
mander had been up all night re-
cording weather reports and work
ing out plans for coping with
weather and mechanical conditions
which he and Lieutenant Nelson
might encounter during the long and
hazardous jump to the shores or
Greenland
Lieutenant John Harding. Jr., me-
chan.c on Lieutenant Nelson's plane,
also had been up all night but he left
his room only to go on board the
plane, declaring 1t was his duty to
take care of the machine during the
last hours here, because of the early
departure, there were very few per-
sons present when the machine set
out.
The American fliers arrived at
Reykjavik from Hoefn Hornafjord
on August 6. intending to continue
their flight to the east coast of
Greenland, within a few days but
reports of weather and ice conditions
which were unusually bad, forced
them to wait.
