GERMANY THINKS
 RERORT WAS TRUE
WILL NOT BELIEVE OTHERWISE UNTIL ENGLAND DEFINES HER ATTITUDE POSITIVELY TOWARD GERMANY AND FRANCE.

Cologne. October 12.-The Cologne Ga zette today prints an inspired dispatch from Berlin in which the Paris Matin' s revelations are discoursed. The dispatch notes that the articles in the Matin have caused great embarrassment in France and Great Britain and that those coun- tries have a prime interest in the clear ing up of the matter.
 It is evident from the dispatch that the German government assumes that M Delcasse believed in good faith that France had Great Britain'S promise of military assistance for war with Germany and shaped his policy accordingly. There fore, the dispatch points out, it is im- possible to brush the Mathis story aside as chimerical If M. Delcasse was self deceived, the dispatch says, still the con sequences would have been the same, and war would have. resulted from his pas sionate policy of revenge. M Delcasse' s belief that Great Britains assistance was pledged formed the basis of his policy, and the attempt made in Great Britain to dismiss the matter as ridiculous phantasy is insufficient, and the story cannot be disposed of in that way.
 The German view. the dispatch adds, is that the story must be taken seriously until the British government gives out a formal utterance to fully vindicate the position of Great Britain.

ALABAMA MEETS
 X. AND M. TODAY
TEAM IS IN FINE FORM AND IS MUCH IMPROVED SINCE THE RE- CENT CONTEST WITH vANDER- BiLT.

University, October 12.-(Special)-For her third game this season Alabama goes up against the eleven of the Mississippi A. and M college of Starksville tomor- row. For some time, owing to auaran- tine regulations, 1t was feared that this game would not come off, but the recent raising of restrictions has made 1t pos sible. The game should be serappy at- fair, although the odds are greatly III favor of Alabama. Dan Martin, an old Auburn star and for several seasons past A. and Ms coach, has demonstrated ms ability to build an aggressive team. When he took charge of the A. and Ms squad several years ago that college was just about in the cellar when 1t came to foot ball. Since then it has risen considerably and season before last even defeated Ala bama by small margin. This year, how ever, Martin has been handicapped by quarantine and his machine consequently will not become very effective before November. His boys, nevertheless are showing the proper spirit and are filling their dates in spite of unavoidable set backs.
 The Alabama boys are in fine fettle and tomorrow should reel off the snappiest article of football that they have yet given to the public. This should be a very choice assortment of end runs, line bucks, etc, for from the newspaper ac- counts of the Alabama Vanderbilt game this was one of the nobest combats seen on Durley field in some years. In fact in the second half of the aforesaid strug- gle the crimson and white played the gold and black to standstill, holding them to one lone touchdown. With the return from Nashville and the change in the weather football here seems to have taken on new lease of life. The scrubs are out in full force every after noon and there is ginger to burn. All of the regular men will probably participate in the game tomorrow with the exception of Burks. who is troubled with charley

Senationa Turn Is Taken In London'e
 Famous Case

London, October 12.-Todays proceed ings in the case of Hugh Watt, the
 former member of parliament, who is charged with attempting to bribe a priv ate detective, named Marshall, to assist him in murdering Watts former wife, were marked by the sensational with drawal by the cattleman, Normal Bat tie, of the evidence which he gave Sep tember p. On that occasion Battle testi- fled that he overheard conversation be- tween Marshall and another man in which Marshall was threatened. Battle today said that his real name was Lightfoot and that Watt who was accompanied by a man representing himself as an equer-l " of King Edward. met the former in Hyde park August 24 and informed him that the King wished the case to be withdrawn.
 At Watts dictation he wrote a letter to Watts lawyer saying he could clear Watt. The latter also dictated the evidence which the witness gave September 22. Battle added that he had received about s2OO from Watt, and that the equerry -as advised to go to Canada and was

You Get Up

In the morning tired, languid, and frequently with a headache that is almost unbearable. You have been nervous, restless and sleepless night after night, and gloomy and irritable during the day. This nervous exhaus- tion affects the heart, lungs and other organs that depend upon the nerves for motive power. Then the stomach fails to di- gest the food; the heart action is weak, and circulation poor, and the kidneys and liver in- active.
 What you need is not stom- ach, head, kidney or liver med icine, but Dr. Miles Nervine to soothe and feed the nerves and build nerve tissue.

SEEKING POLICY
 FOR VENEZUELA
PARIS AND WASHINGTON GOV ERNMENTS WILL PROBABLY WAIT FOR FULL REPORT FROM MIR. CALHOUN ON SITUATION.

Washington, October 12.-Venezuela was the subject of an important conversation at the state department today between Secretary Root and MT. Jusserand, the French ambassador. The latter has been awaiting the arrival here of the repre- sentative of MT. Calhoun, the American special commissioner before recommend ing to his government a course of ac- ton. Mir Calhoun has reported verbally to the President and Secretary, but he has not completed his formal report upon the conditions he found existing in Ven ezuela. Enough is known. however, to show the similarity between the griev- ances of the Paris and Washington gov ernments.
 Whether this similarity shall find a corrollary in parallel action on the part of the two governments to right their grievances, has not yet been decided France has informed the United States that the course she has shaped is one of extreme patience, but of even greater firmness. It can be announced that the French government has already consider ed several courses of action, any one of which it is believed would bring Presi- dent Castro to terms. None will be adopt ed, however, until Secretary Root and Mir. Jusserand have further considered the report of MT. Calhoun. In the meantime both governments will bide their time, letting it be known that both are equally determined to obtain early justice for their citizens

MON EW
Our Unique American Colleges.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The American college is every way
unique: it may be defined in a word as a
school for imparting more general and adj
vanced instruction than can be obtained in
the various academies and private schools.
The university, however, more particularly
comprises a number of technical schools,
imparting instruction in all departments of
knowledge. including classical literature.
tie arts and sciences, as biology, medicine,
surgery, law, theology, mechanics and SO
on. The issue as to which is the most
desirable, the most useful, has been dis
cussed at educational congresses in the
public press. and notably in the leading re-
views. There has been evident in these DIS
cussions tendency to look upon tie col
lege as kind of inferior school which must
be given it's place only when there is not
enough money to establish the more ex-
pensiye university. On the other hand, the
college has not wanted its stout champions.
in whose view the American college. with
its concentrated curriculum, the closene IS
of touch between pupil and professor, is not
only an institution that il to be conserved,
hut is one that often if not always. offers
a better kind of education than is avail
able in the university.
