THREATENED JUS
Governor Says Sheriffs
Have Power to Call on
People For Help
If the sheriff Is given any notice
whatsoever of the gathering of a mob
to take a prisoner In his custody, I can
see no reason why that sheriff should
not summon a sufficient number of cit
izens who have a proper regard for
their duties and obligations as citizens,
to protect any jail In the state," said
Governor Henderson, referring to
threatened troubles at Mobile
"Federal troops, or national guard In
federal service, are available at the re
quest of the executive of the state,
made to the president of the United
States, to quell domestic violence. The
only objection that I can see to this
arrangement lies In the delay that must
occur In event of any sudden outbreak
of lawlessness, too violent In Its nature
to be controlled by civil authorities.
"It la true that at* this time, when
all of the national guard are In the
federal service, the state Is practically j
disarmed of Its military forces, but I
the remedy, in my opinion, lies In the j
law-abiding citizens who are to be
found In every Alabama community,
and who are subject to the call of the
sheriff to uphold the majesty of the
law.
Why should we be drafting our
young men and sending them away to
light for liberty, if we have not, as
citizens, sufficient regard for liberty at
home to uphold the law, which la the
basts of liberty "
Alabama now has a greater number
of troops than at any time olnce the
civil war, and still the State Is prac
tically disarmed. The Governor has do
authority to call upon the National
Guard now in Federal service to up
hold civil authority, nor has he pow
er to organise and equip a military
force for this purpose.
The Sheriff of Mobile County has
been notified that he may report his
needs to Major Guthrie of the U. S.
engineers If he needs military asslat
| ance. Major Guthrie will then report
to the War Department, which will
make an Investigation.
Cant Obtala Forces.
Adjutant General Hubbard stated to
day that the power of the State to or
ganize a military force, or to call upon
the troops In Federal service, wras
carefully investigated after the Law
; ler murder at Huntsville, and It was
I found that no authority exists for the
adoption of either course, though the
| national defense act of June 3, 1913,
expressly permits the Legislature to
provide a constabulary or rural po
i lice. In and for the State. It must
I be armed, equipped and maintained by
l the State.
The Legislature of Alabama has
made no provision for such an organi
zation. and the sheriffs must work out
their own plana of defense In case of
need.

“EMPTY WORDS” IS
WAY GERMANS FEEL
ON PREMIER’S TALK
AMSTERDAM, May 28.—(Via Lon
don.)—The speech of Premier Lloyd
George last'week. In which he said
German submarines were being com
! batted successfully and that England
could not be starved by the submarine
campaign, is characterized as only
empty words," in a semi-official Ger
man reply.
"Facts are lacking,” says the reply,
"because our navy has found little
trace of the new methods whereby, ac
cording to the views of the enemy, the
i submarine danger can be met. Hlther
| to all enemy experts have agreed that
j with the present nteans they are pow
j erless against the serious dangers oc
casioned by submarines. A change In
tactical methods cannot be achieved In
a fortnight. We calmly await Lloyd
George’s prediction as to the future.”

VACANCIES THAI MAY
OCCUR IN RESERVE
(Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 28.—The war
department announced today that va
cancies in the officers' training camps,
resulting from the withdrawal of can
didates for Commission or for any oth
er reason, will not be filled.
A considerable number at each of the
thirteen camps have dropped out be
cause they proved unsutted to military
life and there has been a rush pf ap
plicants to HU the gaps. The depart
ment holds, however, that the first two
weeks of the training course are es-.
aentlal and will hold ail applicants up
for the second series of camps to be
started when the first series has com
pleted its work. It Is regarded as too
great a handicap on the whole force,
as well as on the Individual, to have
men enter now and attempt to catch
up.
Applicants for the negro officers'
training camp at Fort Des Moines wero
examined today In all the military de
partments. The results were not re
ported to the war department, but offi
cials do not doubt that more than the
1,000 civilians who can be admitted
have enrolled. Probably further selec
tion among applicants will have to be
made.

cultivate friendly relations with for
eign nations and develop her external
trade
