COURTS OF ALABAMA TO ADOPT SOME NEW
 RULES OF PRACTICE
Continued From Page one)

As FEOH IuEc Ouey -~-~~~~-~~~~~~>~~~~-~ ~~~->~-~--~~-~--~-"-~-~- the subcommittee to which its substance naturally assigns it." Committees The committees and their respective members are as follows. (a) Rules of practice and procedure in the appellate courts: Thomas c. Me Clelan, Richard W. Walker, Anthony D. Sayre.
 (b) Rules of practice and procedure in the trial courts (other than chancery): John c. Anderson, John Pelham, E. Perry Thomas.
 Co Rules of practice and procedure in the chancery courts: James J. Mayfield, Ormond Someryille, Edward deGraffen- ried -
 Chief Justice James R. Dowdell was made an ex-officio member of each of the committees.
 The joint conference of the two courts followed a request of the associate jus tices of the supreme court of Chief Jus tice Powell that he convene the court in special session for the purpose of con- sidering new rules of practice. The let ter to the chief justice was written on October 22. and in reply the presiding justice of the court suggested that the conference be held on Monday of this week.
 Lawyers at the capitol today considered the action of the two courts, in invit- ing suggestions with reference to new rules of practice, as most significant, and much favorable comment was heard. It is expected that the courts will hold another joint session shortly after Christi mas, or as soon as the three sub-com- rnittees are ready to make their re- ports.
 The opinion prevails that the two courts have the power to inaugurate many ju- dicial reforms in the state, particularly such reforms as can be effected by new rules of practice and procedure. But it is certain that lawyers throughout the state have been looking to the courts to put themselves on record as favoring certain reforms, and the action of the two highest tribunals of the state in ask ing for recommendations and suggestions relative to the subject Is regarded as indicative of their desire to establish some needed changes at the earliest pos sble time.

troops who retired to the mountains when the Greeks landed
 Tt Is significant" the correspondent says in conclusion, that a heavy con- tract for military stores was signed by the porte yesterday, a large price being paid for their speedy delivery. If the enemy's peace terms are too severe Tur- key will naturally be tempted to wait to see whether the hurricane which threatens Europe may not bring her bet ter things.
 Adrianople the Base
 The Sofia correspondent of the Times says:
 "fhe Turks would consent only. to raise the Turkish blockade on the Black sea on condition that the Greeks would raise the blockade on the Aegean. It is doubtful whether the Greek govern ment will agree to this.
 Doubtless the early fall of Adrian ople would expedite the negotiations The final possession of Adrianople is regarded here as sine qua non.
 Saloniki dispatch to the Times dated November 2s. says that as re- suit of the exodus of Greek troops to Monastir and Bulgarian troops to Ded- eaghatch, the town at that time was regaining it's calm. There was then lit- tie probability of any outbreak be- tween the soldiers of the allied armies Both Greeks and Bulgarians agreed that the final disposition of Saloniki should be left to diplomatic negotia- tions
 There were 10000 refugees at Sa- loniki all In deplorable condition. After the arrival of the troops they were elected from the mosques and oth- CT buildings and driven to the open spaces around tho town. where they Were without shelter, exposed to the cold and drenching rain. starving and wallowing in filth Numbers died from exposure and hunger, while smallpox and other diseases already had ap- peared. The Turkish prisoners in the concentration camp were living under similar appalling conditions. Although the Turkish Red Crescent was well equipped the Turkish military hospital was in a terrible condition. without bandages, medicines or comforts and the only food was moldy bread.
 Praise Greek Fleet Q
 An Athens dispatch to the Times says the Hestia publishes an article dilat- ing on the services rendered by the Greek fleet to the allies and cities and official comminique, which points out that the Greek fleet in 10 days was able, while executing its chief mis- sion of blockading the Dardanelles, to occupy the islands of Chios and Lesbos and protect the disembarkation of the Bulgarian army sent from Saloniki to Dedeaghatch. In addition, the great service of the Greek mercantile marine which requisitioned 95 ships Is empha- sized.
 The article refers to the feasibility of a combined land and sea attack on and Greek armies are inetaoi7S90$. the Dardanelles and says the Servian render substantial aid to the Bulgar- ians. Therefore the terms proposed by theNTurks as the basis for an armistice are quite unacceptable to the victor ious- Balkan allies.

 Visits recently exchanged between the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister and Ahmed Fouad who is an Albanian by descent. have been regarded in some quarters as an indication that the prince is serious candidate for the Albanian throne.

Austrian War Plan

London, December 3.-The Belgrade cor respondent of the Chronicle gives ans out line of the Austrian war plan, saying:
 Austria is forming three armies, two directed against Russia and one against Seryia. The first, or northern arniy, to defend Galicia. is being concentrated in the fortified triangle formed by Cracow, Tomaszow and Przemysl. Around Lem berg and along the frontier. entrench- ments are being dug and the plain coV- cred with wire entanglements to check the possible advance of Russian cavalry.
 'The second, or eastern army, is gather ing in Pennsylvania and Bukowina, along the Russian border. The third, or south ern army, will operate with the army south of Hungary against Belgrade and Semendria. to force passage over the Danube into Moravia valley and partly from Bosnia and Herzegoyia against the western Servian frontier and Sandak of Nonipiza.
 Roumania Wants Her Share

The Roumanian government is not formulating any demands for pre- SentatlOn 10 BuIRdTlds put dWd1tS tne ar rival of pr.

 ''The Roumanian foreign minister has been advised officially of the coming of pr. Daneff, but the date has not yet been fixed"
 In dispatch from Constantinople the correspondent of the Daily Mail says the delay in effecting an armistice seems to be due to the Greeks desiring the surren- der of Janina to themselves and Scuta-i to the Montenegrins and to their objection to raising the blockade on the Albanian coast.
 The correspondent says 1t Is also be- lieved the Greeks want to obtain effective possession of the Island of Chois. off the west coast of Asia Minor, where heavy fighting continues with the Ottoman

Germany Sides With Austria

Berlin, December 2.-Germany stands firmly with Austria-H Hungary in the con- flict which has arisen between that coun- try and Servia or, for that matter, in any conflict which may be forced upon the dual monarchy.
 In brief pointed speech in the Reich stag today, the imperial chancellor. pr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, made this decla- ration, which is taken to mean unque- stionably a warning to Russia, although Russia was not named. All the party leaders, except the socialist, who fol- lowed the chancellor, expressed approval of the governments position.
 Herr Von Kiderlen- Waeehter, secretary of state for foreign affairs, also won applause when in replying to the refer ences of the social democratic leader, Herr Ledebour. to alleged discord with Great Britain, he said:
 These remarks offer a welcome oe- late crisis our relations with Great Brit ain has been especially marked by mu- tual trust, which has not only brought about a most gratifying intimacy in our relations, but has also performed good services towards an understanding among all the powers. I can express the certain expectation that they will con tinue to do this.'

Bulgaria Wants Peace

Bulgaria is trying to promote an amicable settlement between Austria and Serva," says a Sofia dispatch to the Cologne Gazette. "Bugaria's standpoint is that the Balkan league cannot be drawn into war by a single member. and Bulgaria is inclined to refuse to participate in war brought about in that way.
 Turkeys willingness to accept terms involving far reaching concessions has awakened misgivings; evidently Turkey Is depending upon Europe to overthrow peace in her favor and is already of- fering the powers certain advantages.
 Meanwhile the league will, remain un- der arms because of the possibility of general complications, and is determined to allow the fruits of victory to be wrested from it only by force
