the army guarding Warsaw has been definitely checked.
 In southern Poland the Russians also record some successes while in Galicia they apparently have inflicted a defeat on the Austrians almost as serious as that which Emperor Francis Joseph's troops suffered in Servia.
 Since their latest offensive commenced the Russians have taken 40,000 Austrian prisoners and captured many guns, ac- cording to the Russian official report and, if as was estimated, Austria has be- tween three and four army corps on its re-entry into Galicia, 1t must have lost more than third of the number ir killed, wounded and prisoners. Muddy roads have prevented the Russians from making the pursuit as effective as il might have been.

smallest and Alabama one of the most important
 People throughout Alabama have ex- pressed a willingness to give to the cause themselves although they are free to remark that in their opinion, the mat ter is one for the attention of the state rather than the private citizens of the state
 There is no question but that Ala bama will have an excellent exhibit of It's matchless resources, and, as stated in the outset, we are going to have a building. Alabama is nearer than any other state, and will reap greater ben eft. And then Senator Morgan played a greater part in the dream of the canal than any other man. And is it not true that Alabama's sons played the leading roles in the actual work on and in the sanitation of the Panama zone?"
 Mr. Thompson declared that in his opinion, the legislature would convene next month predetermined to legislate for the good of the state rather than to indulge in prolonged dissertation re- garding factional differences.

 MT. Nelson stated last night that ev- cry citizen of Birmingham who desires to appear before the committee will be given a respectful and attentive hearing. He intimated that 1t was quite possible that someone might offer 8 suggestion which would materially aid the committee in it's efforts.

BOTH ARMIES
 CLAIM SUCCESS

Of the fighting in the west the French and German reports are in direct conflict The French claim to have occupied the village of St. Georges, which is on the main road between Nieuport and Bruges and two miles from the former town. On the other hand, the German report says:
 We have gained some ground near Nieuport."
 Heavy fighting is taking place in the Argonne and on the heights of the Mouse. The French report apparently refers to later events than those recorded in Ber- lin, for Paris tells of the recapture of a trench which the German communication mentions as having been captured by the Germans. The French are investing Steinbach, in upper Alsace.
 News from Germany is coming slowly, as cable communication between England and Holland is dislocated by the storm and telegraph wires between Holland and Germany have been wrecked in many places.

Within the next few days, Earle A. Spangler for many years an embalmer with Shaw & Son, will sever his con- nection with that firm and remove to Bessemer, where he, will assume the management of Kennedy Brothers Un- dertaking parlors.
 In Birmingham, Mr. Spangler has earned reputation for his first aid to the injured" methods. Spangler for merly was a member of the United States Navy Hospital corps and was especially efficient in ambulance work He is generally credited with having saved many lives through his ability to stop the flow of blood on the scent of accidents and also to give first aid care to poisoning cases.
 Spangler has been with Shaw & Son for the past eight years. In that time the public has become familiar with the "bg white ambulance" which he drives through the streets on emergency calls. He goes to Bessemer with the well wishes of hosts of friends who are de- lighted with his advancement.

 Can't Do Any Better
 Relative to your inquiry, if the plans for the Toledo building could be used for that at Birmingham you are advised that this would be impos- sible. For the smaller buildings it is sometimes found feasible to adapt a typical plan of one building and use it for another. The larger buildings, however differ so regarding their re- quirements that the same plans could not be used over again. In this par ticular case it would be impossible, especially, for several reasons. First, the two sites are of different dimen- sions second, the Toledo building is a one-story structure, for postoffice only while the Birmingham building is for postoffice. courthouse and oth CT governmental offices, and will un- doubtedly be a three-story building: and third for the Toledo building there was S550 1000 available and for the Bir- mingham building there is SS15,000 available The plans for the Toledo building would no more fit the Bir- min gham conditions than a ready made suit of clothes intended for small man would fit a large man.
 "To get out these 70 or so buildings a year requires the entire time of tho present force to prepare plans and specifications and do the clerical work incident thereto With the present force in the office of the supervising architect. it is impossible for the de- partment to do any better than thls with the Birmingham project.

until after the great fire in London, in
