 This morning at exactly 12:35 o'clock the assemblage was dismissed with a dozen words of thanks and appreciation from Judge Ebert H. Gary, president, and the members sought their rooms for few hours rest before the first of the two excursions through the Birmingham in- dustrial and residential districts starts from the Louisville and Nashville sta ton this morning at 9:15 o'clock
 The banquet served during the first two hours of the evening was of the highest class, the class that in the past three or four months has built up an enviable reputation for the cuisine department of the .Tutwiler. James Bowron, one of the oeans of the Birmingham iron and steel business, opened the speaking with the reading and extemporaneous explanation of paper on the history of the iron and steel business in the south He was followed by Hiram S.

KA|SER'STROOPSA ARE THROWN BACK WITH HEAVY LOSSES, SAYS PETR0GRAD REPORT
The Russians Meet Success Along Entire Battle Line. Official German Dispatch Claims Progress in the Northeast

Washington, October 29.--AlI of the German army corps on the left bank of the yfstuIa. in Poland, are In full retreat, according to an official report from Petrosrad. made public here to- night by the Russian embassy.
 The report follows:
 "On October 2S we overcame the re- distance of the last troops of the enemy endeavoring to put up fight to the north of the River Pilica. At the pres ent moment all of the Austro- German corps on the left bank of the vistula are in full retreat.
 ''Strykoff. Flow and Novomiasto are : occupied by our troops. Radon Is oc- cupied by our cavalry; we have cap tured several thousand prisoners. guns, scores of machine guns. supply trains and automobiles.
 Tn Galicia there are no changes.
 "On the east Prussian front the first German army corps, supported by oth- CT troops. is for the fourth day keep ing up an attack near Bakaloikewo. The losses of the enemy are very heavy"

London. October 20.-u1s s8o ?. m. Prince Louis of Battenberx, about whom there has been much sossip be- cause of his Austrian origin, has re- siEned his position as first sea lord of the admiralty. No open charges havc been made against him but n newspaper campaign against his hold ing such . high command is thought responsible for his withdrawal.
 Announcement of Prince Louis resig- nation was made tonight in the court
 circular which stated that the prince
 had been received in audience by the King on re1inquishing his appointment
 Although born in Austria, Prince
 Louis came to England as boy and
 was naturalized in 1868, when he was only 14 years old. Twenty-three years later he was promoted to a captaincy and after another 13 years became q rear admiral. He was appointed first sea lord in 1s12--a few years after his visit to America
 Besides the fact that he was born in Austria. the chief argument his op- ponents made against him was that he is the brother-in-law of Prince Henry of Prussia, who holds somewhat sim liar command in the German naGy. Confinement Rumored
 There were rumors sometime ago that Prince Louis had been. confined in the tower of London These reports gained little serious consideration however. but the authorities deemed il expedicnt that he should appear moro in public instead of confining himse1i to the admiralty, where since the out break of the war he hnd been working night and day directing the strategy of tho navy. He was considered Qne ot tho most noted strategists of t0r ad- mirs1ty.
 Recently some of the less infiuen- | tial newspapers took up the matter asking that some statement be mads regarding the retention of an officer of German birth as the professional

Aguas Calientes, Mex, October 27. coalition of delegates representing Villa and zapats ruled today's session of the Mexican national convention aft CT the stormiest and most exciting meeting tho assembly had witnessed. For time the confusion threatened to grow into . rot. Delegates reached for their revolvers but finally yielded to leagues.
 The outburst occurred shortly after the arrival of 26 Zapata representatives. It developed that they came not as author- zed delegates, but to learn the views of the convention before telegraphins for credentials. Paulito Martinez, one of their leaders, described the plan of Ayala. the Zapata platform. informing the conven- ton in forcible tones that if 1t were not accepted Zapatas army would continue to fight. He was given an ovation, the first indication that the convention fav- ored the plan of Ayala, which declares for immediate division of the big landed estates in Mexico
 Precipitates Climax
 Antonio Soto y Cana, who spoke next for the zapatistas, precipitated a climax which threatened to disrupt the conven- tion. The first part of his speech was applauded. but one of his metaphors mis- carried. He had compared the Mexican flag to rag and was not permitted to finish his figure of speech Indignant and angry delegates rose to their feet and with hands on their pistols yelled at each other in fury.
