point of Ypres where the French re-
port several attacks of q violent ma
ture by the German infantry have been
repulsed. At both ends of the long
front to the northwest of Ypres and
against the railway station as Aspach,
in Alsace, the failure of attempts by
the Germans to advance is officially
announced from Paris, which adds that
an important advance by the French
troops in the forest of lie Pretre has
been made.
In the east the Russian general staff
makes the deft declaration:
I'm the Mlawa region we have
brought our offensive to a successful
conclusion on the whole front"
The occupation of a German posi-
ton near Prazasnysz and the retreat
of the Germans towards the East Prus-
sian frontier also is announced. The
situation south of Cracow remains
without change and the battle in that
district continues. The Russians claim
a further victory on the Lowicz-IloW
front, where a German position was
taken with important losses to the
Germans
In West Galicia, the Austrians claim
to have defeated the Russians at Lii
manovo and to have crossed the Car
pathians

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
Mr.. Grayson Is Old and Wise
Enough To Be Conserva-
tive-Views on Taxation

In the lower house of the legislature,
there will be two pairs of brothers,
Fred Fite OF Tuscaloosa and L. b. Fite
of Marion, and A. H. Carmichael of
Colbert and NJ S. Carmichael of Coffee.
There will also be a father and a son.
The son is Claude A. Grayson, who will
represent the county of Mobile. The
father is John William Grayson, who
lives in Gurley, and who will represent
Madison county.

ocrat and a member of the Presbyterian
church. He has four living children.
Mr.. Grayson believes in retrenehment.
He believes that there is one judge too
many on the bench of the supreme court
and on the bench of the appellate court.
He would remove two or three judicial
circuits and would decrease the num-
Der of city judges. He holds that the
most important matter to be brought
before the legislature will be the sub
ject of making income measure up to
"out CO." or vice versa, taking such
action as will result in the liquidation
of the present deficit in the state treas
ury; and giving attention to educa-
ton, good roads, agricultural develop

week for the battle front according
to Berlin telegram today.
Geneva, December 13.-A report
reached Basel from Berlin today that
Emperor William would be obliged to
undergo an operation of the throat
when he has sufficiently recovered.

more perfect enforcement of laws pres
emily on the books. He is opposed to

Mr. Grayson would abolish the con-
Wet lease ENTHUSIASTICALLY. He will
support a bill requiring the state to

a fraction of the earnings of convicts
He will vote to abolish the fee system
throughout Alabama, although he be-
lieves that officials who now receive
in fees only 500 per month should be
permitted to continue under the pres
emit plan. He holds that express com
panies and fire insurance companies
should be regulated, and is inclined to
favor the idea of simplifying the duties
of the railroad commission to the ex-
tent that that body would become a
public utility commission. He believes
that considerable hard work should be
done in respect to taxation, and holds
that an improved method of making
assessments should be revised. He be-
lieyes that big corporations should be
borne in mind when that improved
method is being considered
