Hussey, U. S. N., retired, said to- lay In discussing arms limitation be- ‘ore the Institute of Politics. “Everyone believe in limitation of armamert,” he said. he question is how to do it. “The navy would welcome limita- tion of armament provided national security is not endange It 'is that sort of limitation that Britain and France are seeking; the only cort that any wise people will sanc- tion. Reports Discouraging “The official reports of armament conferences are discouraging read ing. While it may be presumptious to criticize the methods used in these conferences, it is evident that under the auspices of the League or ouside the League these last ten years of intense activity in the inte est of the limitation of armaments fas not horne fruit. “I believe the solution to the problem lies in going back of ar- maments to a study of the material and moral welfare of mankind, to the changing world; the chances vrought by science; and the evolu- tion of civilization. There we will zet a better line on the inherent character of concepts of human re- lations. There we may find the answer to our question “how to dis- arm” in considering ancther ques- tion, “Why arm?"

Kired, no doubt, by the sustained flight mark set by the “St. Louis Robin” and by other numerous attempts of aviato! to distinguish themselves in this field four local youths yesterday set out to estabiish a bicycle endurance rec- ord. At 11:30 o'clock in the the four bo. Bailey, Byington, Sames and Sherman, began their cndurance test on Broad street and, with refuelling for dinner. contix ued along safely through the afte noon, relieving each other at the pedals from time to time. he last report reccived from the cyclists was at 6 o'clock, when they announced they were still “goir strong” after 6 1-2 hours in the sad dle. But nothing further was heard and it appears that the thought of supper proved even stronger than the desire for glory and that the ringing of the supper bells brought the novel test to an abrupt end. Girl’'s “Sunday Face” Stolen as She Swims Her “Sunday face” was in her pocketbook and someone took it while she was swimming at Bat- terson park—otherwise known reservoir No. 4—yesterday afternoon.

FIVE CONVICTS ELUDE ALABAMA SEARGHERS Men Repair Car and Dis- appear—Tip Comes Too Late Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 3 five convicts who escaped early terday afternoon from Speigner prison, near here, continued to elude officers early today. They are now supposed to be in the vicinity of Birmingham. since their machine, stolen from a guard who was over- powered was seen about six miles from Clanton on the Birmingham highway last night. Clanton officers were notified that the auto had broken down and first reports were that the convicts had abandoned the car and taken to the woods. However, before the Clan- ton officers reached the scene, the convicts had repaired the trouble and disappeared. It is believed by Speigner authori- ties that the convicts chose a seldomn used road to reach Birmingham. The five men escaped after over- powering J. P. Richardson, a prison guard, and taking his gun and keys. Richardson was unhurt. An investigation was made Friday night of an unlocked door in the cotton mill building through which the prisoners escaped to a guard's car. It was reported that the door, which had always been kept bolted, was not locked. Carelessness was blamed. The five fugitives are Frank Al- len, L. A. Harper, W. A. Smith, Wil- liam Miller and W. D.
