woman's sSntimont" to the exercise of
executive .clemency.
Her action In th ecase of Sidney

Executed under her administration, I
gives a key to the mental processes of j
the. state's first wqman governor in i
handling; ono of the most pressing
and" delicate problems of her ad minis- j
tration. Welk, from his death cell in !
Huntsvillo penitentiary, sent the fol-
IdWing telegram to Mrs. Ferguson a!
fw hours before he was executed:
"My time Is growing near. Please
do not let me die."
; Many predicted the emotions gen
erally thought to rule a woman's
mind and heart would break through
the armor of reason the woman gov
ernor has constructed for all her
dealings in pardon matters. But they
judged her wrongly. -She declared she
had been unable to find "any reason
for Interfering with the course of the
! law." ' ... ..:.
) r Her comment oh, Welk's telegram
?cas: "I don't like to get messages
rom him."
Welk, sentenced to death for killing
a Pallas jailer in an attempted Jail

LONDON, April ' 30. (By Associ
ated Press.) Additional guards have
been assigned to protect Foreign Sec
retary Austen Chamberlain, presum
ably in connection with the discovery
of a plot against his life.
The news of additional police pro
tection for the British foreign secre
tary came from official quarters but
there was much reticence about dis
cussing the nature of the supposed
plot. It was intimated that somo of
the details were discovered outside of
London. "
LONDON, April 25. Unless flying
machines are regulated death will be
rained down by the square mile in
the next European war. Is the predic
tion made by J. M. Spaight, author of
"Aircraft in War," and other books,
In his latest publication "Air Power
and War Rights," in which he makes
an appeal for the limitation -of air
armaments.
"Let there be no doubt about it,'
writes Mr. Spaight. "Unless' air pow
er is regulated and controlled It will
destroy civilization itself. Aircrnft
have a terriblo lesson In store ' for
mankind. Shall we ever learn the
lesson properly until it is hurled at us
in inunaer ana name.' ne elbkh, una
answers as follows:
"Sometimes one doubts whether
we shall. It is admitted that air raids
will be far more terrible in -future
The wars than they were In 1918, but It
is doubtful whether the appalling
menace to civilization which this ad
mission involves is grasped by the
general public." ,
r Mr. Spaight was the British mem
ber of the commission' of Jurists on
laws of war at Tho Hague, In 1922-23,
and of these rules he says: "It is
doubtful whether such rules for air
bombardment as those drawn up by
the jurists at The Hague in January
February, 1923, will save the world's
great cities."
The joker in The Hague rules, says
Mr. Spaight, is this: The regulations
solemnly declared that military ob
jectives alone are to be liable to bom
bardment, they are "obligingly and
tactfully vague as to what military
objectives are exactly." In tho event
of another war outbreak, with recol
lections of 1914 In mind, virtually all
the . countryside of every nation in
volved would become engaged in war
work of somo kind, ' every public
building turned into a war center,
and since every town would contain
war works of ono kind or another,
every town would be bombed, with
the people in it.
The next war may be over almost
before the armies get into action, Mr.
Spaight suggests; London, Paris or
Berlin may be reduced to ruins, tan
gled with corpses, before a single land
battle has been fought. Air power
will start In to land the knockout
blow as soon as war Is declared, or
even before. Bombing by all means
should be limited only to property
used for war purposes. That, he
avers, is the only remedy.
SPEED UP AIRMAIL

WASHINGTON, April 25. Speed
