important Change Soon.
All the signs indicate that change
is impending in the protracted
struggle in northern France, where for
weeks the hostile armies have faced
each other in such strongly entrench-
ed positions that neither has been able
to advance except at enormous cost.
The principal effect of the mutual
thanking operations has been to extend
the battle lines without either side
finding a weak spot.
French Hold Eastern Line.
The French still hold the eastern
frontier fortress line. although
number OF barrier forts have fallen. A
letter from a German officer who was
before Toul describes the art with
which the French defend every yard
before and between the fortresses. The
French infantry is sheltered in three
story trenches. The bomb proofs, even
in the infantry positions. are rooted
with concrete, against which all ex-
cept the heaviest shells are ineffec-

General fighting has been in pro-
gress between the Austro-German al
lies and the Russians in Russian Po-

the last week. 1t is reported that
about million men are engaged on
each side.
The Germans and Austrians drove
the Slays out of western Galicia and
caused them. to retreat northward in
Poland to the Vistula river. But here

Quaker Meeting Houses in Iowa


Fifty years ago, or even less, there
might have been seen here and there
scattered over Iowa the old time
Quaker meeting houses, uncrowned
by belfry or steeple; but now such
houses of worship are all but gone.
Those quaint old buildings had an
architecture all their own. OF long,
low, rectangular form, with plain glass
windows and two plain doors 1.-THE
right one for men and the left for
women), they were more suggestive
of peace and quiet than are the more
ornate and imposing structures which
have of late years so generally taken
their places. There was the old-time
"hopping block of pioneer days, or
the long board platform extending
half way round the house, for the con-
venience of those who wished to enter
direct from their wagons. The meet
ing house on the inside was altogether
plain. The interior consisted OF an
open room which was divided by a
half partition and sliding shutters in
to two equal parts, the one for the
men and the other for the women The
seats, plain and straight, were set on
a level floor. At the front there was
a raised platform on which were
placed seats in two or more rows. each
a step higher than the other, for the
use of the ministers and elders

est forward pass ever seen in Birming-

on Auburns five-yard line. Vanderbilt,
however, was penalized 10 yards for hold
ing in the line and successive plunges
brought no gain. A forward pass was
intercepted and it was Auburn's ball on
her five-yard line.
Bfdez went in for Harris and, finding
a weak spot between right tackle and
right end, hammered away for two first
downs and the ball was out of the danger
line.
The greater part Of the game was played
in a misting rain and the heavy field
hampered the Vanderbilt attack. The
Commodores brought to Birmingham a
repertoire of dazzling open plays which
the mud and rain made impossible. Again
the water initiated against the use of
Cody and his toe. Four times the Vandy
quarter tried the forward pass and but
once was it successful, SO the team was
forced to fall back on mass play.

two elevens swayed fitfully up and

AUBURN WINS WITH

Vanderbilt was defeated by the better
team. Victory for the Auburn machine
was deserved. There was nothing fiuky

But the Auburn warriors know they
have been in battle. The plucky fight of
Vanderbilt against odds was magnificent
The sensational broken field running of
Curry and the terrific plunging of Skies
held the crowd of 1000 spellbound. The
Commodore attack was fierce and crafty
and their fighting spirit superb. But it
was smothered in the wonderful power of

There was moments pause in which
hush fell on the field. The signals
barked by Curry were plainly audible
