Adjutant General Brandon Compli- ments the Members of the Bri-
 gade Upon the SOldierly Bear
 ing and Good Department.

Birmingham, July 21.-(Specia1. J. Governor R. M. Cunningham with his staff today visited Camp Jelks. where the brigade of tile Alabama National Guard is in encampment. The visit was one of note and the camp was in considerable excitement during the time. Thousands of visitors were out to camp notwithstanding the clouds hung low and the weather was threat ening.
 The National Guard of Alabama is in better shape today than it has been for several years and Governor Gun ningham was given a royal welcome Adjutant General Brandon, of the Alabama National Guard. says of the camp and conditions of the troops in this State:
 T have had time now to see into the conditions of the camp and the organ ization of the Alabama National Guard and I candidly say that the camp is all right and the organization getting into fine shape fast. There is cause for a certain amount of pride being express ed over the State Guards, for the body is a noble one and the department so far has been excellent. l am pleased to hear reports from the city that the members. of the Guard are not or a rOwdy temperament. The Alabama National Guard is in fine condition and the State can be proud of 1t.
 The State troops will hold a target competition Saturday. General Clark has offered a trophy for the best scores made. The practice will be under the management of Major Tebbetts, h. spector of Rifle Practice.

Northfeld, Minn., and was award ed honors at graduation. has accept ed an offer to go to China and become tutor to the two grand -nephews of the empress dowager of China The opportunity came to Miss Reynolds through the Carleton mission board, which has established d mission point in China. The work assigned her is to instruct the two young scions of the nobility in the English language.
 Miss Reynolds has a deeply religious training and spirit as well as a fine education, and determining factor in leading her to accept the offer was the hope that her influence and exam pie, as well as her instruction of the oriental princes in the language of the ocrident. might lead to spiritual results as well as intellectual

School Census Needed.

Tn view of the fact that Jefferson County has voted a tax of 10 cents on the hundred dollars for school pur- poses. to be prorated among the school districts in proportion to the number of children of scholastic age in each Prof I. w. McAdory, County Super intendent of Education. is very anxious to obtain complete census of the scholastic population of the county
 Indications are, however, that it will be very difficult, if not impracticable. to have full census taken next month In reply to question raised by the County Superintendent. Hon. I. w Hill State Superintendent of Education, has written letter to the effect that the twenty-five school districts of he county which are exempt from the act providing for the re-districting of the schools of the State. and which include the incorporated cities and towns, are not required to take the census this year. The census of the remainder Of the school districts will be taken next month, all the same. and under the law these twenty-five districts must take the census next year and every oJd year thereafter.
 It will be seen that by the connIot of the laws 1t is made almost impossi- ble to take the scholastic census of the entire county in any one year. The ex- ception of the twentv-flv districts however. is merely discretionary and not mandatory. and Professor McAdorv still cherishes some hope of being able to induce these districts to take the census next month along with the oth- CT school districts of the county.

BREAKING OF RUSSIAN LINE.
Sensational RumOr From Liayang
 Not Confirmed

Not Confirmed.
 St. Petersburg, July 21.-The most sensational piece of news from the front is the Associated Press despatch from Liayang dated July 20, reporting persistent rumor that the Japanses have broken through the Russian left wing between the respective positions of Lieutenat General Count Keller and General Rennenkampff and are march, ing upon Mukden.
 The report received from General Kuropatkip bearing the same date says that there has been no change of impor- tance in the situation and close study of the dates shows that the rumor prob- ably referred to the Japanse advance against General Rennenkampff on the northern Siamatza -Liaoyang road when they drove the Russians back as far as Houtsiatzse. 26 miles east of Lioyang.
 A later despatch to the Associated Press shows that General Herschelmann commanded this detachment of Gen. eral Rennankampff cavalry and that he turned and took the offensive, sub sequently compelling the Japanse to re- tire in the direction of Sikeyan.
 Further but incomplete details of General Keller's attack at Molten pass. July IT, sent by the Associated Press correspondents, show that the fight lasted all day and was a bloody affair." The Sevsky regiment rushed eight of the Japanse guns with the bayonet but later were compelled to abandon them
 A Russian detachment which crossed the Liao river at dawn on the open- ing of the fight discovered a Japanese detachment under hill dressed in the Russian uniform and hailed the sol diers in Russian as friends, but when the Russians got within easy range the Japanse opened fire.

TO AVERT A CRISIS.
Hussia's Ally Thinks St. Petersburg
 Has Made MiAtake


 Paris. July 21.-The French govern ment has taken the initiative toward aVerting an Anglo-Russian crisis. It's action is not by the exercise of friend ly offices, but by a more effec tive means.
 Foreign Minister Delcasse is making friendly representations to Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Foreign Minis ter. This, from the ally on whom Rus- sia chiefly depends, Is expected to ex- ert strong influence toward a pacific solution. The exact nature of NJ. Del casses representations is not disclosed. put they are understood to contemplate the release of the Malacca and suitable redress. Russia's answer is momen- tarily expected but had not arrived m to tonight. It is expected tomorrow 1T 1t is satisfactory, the release of the steamE- probably will be followed bv the payment of money indemnity.
 The French authorities are doing everything possible to prevent the af- fair from assuming grave proportions Although reluctant to crIticise Russia they incline to the view that a mis- take has been made in the present case which Russia will be ready to admit and correct unless retarded through excessive British criticisms.
 The French press and public are taking the affair calmly. The minis terial press takes the view that the situation is due to a misunderstanding and that If Great Britain establishes the fact that the seized goods are not contraband then Russia will Secognize and redress the error.
 The Journal des Bats tonight says; The situation does not warrant the violent passionate feeling the Berlin and London newspapers have shown ,xrt., ha Iaut The paper also maintains that the affair will be regulated through dipIo- matic channels and without serious trouble.

An Interesting and Authoritative Brochure Sent 'Free to Those
 Readers Who are Interested.

The above is the title of one of the most practically helpful brochures of the year, issued by the Fred Miller Brewing Company of Milwaukee, ex- plaining and Illustrating d system of beneficial home exercise, requiring no apparatus, which any of our readers can secure d copy of free, by sending l cents in stamps for postage to the Ter Brewing Co.,, Milwaukee. An idea or the favorable impression this DOCK mas created may be Salneu from the following extract from d let ter written the Fred Miller Brewing Company by prominent business nan who received copy of the book and is most enthusiastic regarding it:
 The booklet, Development Without Apparatus is peculiarly good as an everyday text book for everyday people, because instead of appealing to those who are seeking to become chain bredkers and bar-bending athletes, 1t hits hard at those who believe in the normal development of natural health grace and strength.
 Tt hasn't for it's motif the harden ing of ice men or the graduation of lady cannon ball jugglers, but it does carry a message to those who want to become fit and able men and women.
 The trouble with ordinary physical culture system is that the fuss and foolishness of 1t are likely to frightca you off before you really get to exer- cising your biceps or doubling up your leg muSCleS- IL means DOtherlnR with lot of complicated paraphernalia be- fore you get into the swing of the thing.
 This book doesn't preach laborious gymnasium stunts or struggles with many-stringed eXercisers. but is a most valuable help to the ordinary business man or woman who can devote a few minutes a day to bracing-up, and who is willing to follow the simple direc- tions."

Deputy Marshals Kennamer, Ashley and Smith. accompanied by Assistant United States District Attorney Steele, went to Tuscaloosa County this morn- ing carrying a sheaf of writs of eject ments directed against ten or twelve families resident on about 5000 acres of lands in the northwestern portion of Tuscaloosa County.

The land in question was or dered sold to satisfy the judgment and was bought in by the Government. De- lays of one kind or another have pre- vented the Government from taking steps to obtain possession of the land until recently when writs were issued from the office of the Clerk of 'he United States Court for the Nor 1ern District of Alabama. and placed in the hands of the Marshal for service. The parties on the property will be all lowed to sign rent notes. Some of tho original signers of the bond have nied and the writs are addressed to their widows and heirs.
