indianapolis September 26.-Theo- dore Roosevelt concluded a one-day tour of Indiana here tonight with an address devoted largely to advocating the. election of Albert J.e Beveridge PfogrS-sive candidate for United States senator for Indiana. Mir Roosevelt. re- viewed the career of MT Beveridge rom the time he was a plowboy, but dWelt largely on his record in the UnI- nrted states Senate.
 It " IS Senator Beveridge.' the col onel declared. who was foremost in putting through meat inspection law and shesalso played a leading part In forcing the passage of pure food laws. It Was be who originated the idea of stopping child labor in health destroy ing Industries national affair."
 Of the tariff Colonel Roosevelt said {:
 .@Both the old Payne -Aldrich bill and the present tariff bill are vicious one Paving gone the extreme in one way, just as the other went to the extreme in the other way. It is only by the methods advocated by Senator Bever- idge and the progressive party that we ever will secure proper tariff legisla- tior in the country"

HOW GERMAN AEROPLANES HELPED TO PILOT THE ONRUSFIlNG ARMIES THROUGH
 FRANCE AND BELGIUM TOLD BY BIRDMAN

in spite of arduous marches and terrific battles. Both German and foreign crit ics have united In appreciation of the work of Germany's heavy artillery-not the mammoth 161a-inch siege mortars which smashed Liege, Namur, and Mau- beuge into surrender within a few hours or days, but the Howitzer batteries which accompany the field army and which have been used with such terrible effect in the great battles.
 In regard to the field guns, the French artillery has proved a worthy opponent German officers cheerfully admit that but thus far the French have had noth- ing to oppose the heavy German artil- lery which, by it's indirect, plunging fire has rendered trenches and gun positions untenable and has pounded retiring troops from orderly retreat into full flight.
 Werner is one of the few who has viewed great part of the modern line of battle much as Napoleon or Frederick the Great looked over the opposing forces from some high point of vantage. Now adays even a general can view only a tiny stretch of the 200-mile battle line It is little the private or staff officer can see.
 His was graphic description of the stubborn retreat of the British army from Mons, for he had hovered over the re- treating troops. signalled to the German artillery the location of their intrench- ments and watched the final rearward march under the plunging fire of the mon ster mortars.

COURSE AS YET
 IS UNDETERMINED

For my part I cannot yet say what course I think I shall pursue as governor | of Alabama. It is my opinion that the states should work unitedly in order that the good to be done may be uniform and general But if it should become necessary for Alabama to take the initia- tive in reaching out for some tangible means of relief from the present depres- sion, I shall unhesitatingly use all the powers of my office towards the attain ment of that result It may be necessary for the various cotton states to assemble constitutional conventions to empower the legislature to provide the needed relief, though that course may not become neces- sary. But I do believe that some extra ordinary means should be adopted and as governor of Alabama 1 am determined to follow whatever course may seem the wisest."
 The governor announced that he ex- pects to return to Montgomery by the middle of next week or soon after the convention as possible. He returned last week from a hurried business trip ito New York and Washington and would not have gope at this time had he not considered it necessary

British and French cruisers have been maintaining a careful watch on neutral steamers in consequence and in addition to the capture of the American register steamer Lorenzo and the Norwegian steamer Thor by the British, the Norwegian steamer Heina has been seized by the French cruiser Condo, according to embassy advices. The Heina was sent to Fort de France, Mar unique, but later the captain of the Condo suggested that the British prize court at St. Lucia consider that case as well as those of the Thor and Lorenzo.
 If the ships are found to have violated their neutrality, it was said at the em- bassy. the penalties set out in the declara- tion of London will be enforced against them.
 Pending action by the prize court, state department officials would make no com ment on the seizure of the Lorenzo.

 we believe in this firmly and think that every merchant in the south should
 buy at leas st one bale of cotton at 1Oc and see that he gets it from the man who raised the cotton.
 "Of course there are many who can well afford to stock up with number of bales and it is to these that the greatest benefit will accrue but buyers of cotton now should insist on delivery direct with the man who raises 1t. for existing conditions have opened an easy way for one who would speculate at the expense of the unfortunate planter.
