A Paradoxical Situation

The situation in the war zone is paradoxical.
 There are persistent reports of Ger man defeats in France, but the next time the Teutons are heard from they are nearer Paris. On the eastern iron tier this condition is exactly reversed Five Russian army corps have been overwhelmed but the next glimpse be- hind the curtain reveals the Cossacks still pushing toward Berlin with un- diminished ardor.
 There is probably considerable truth in the persistent claims of German victories in the east and French suc- cesses in the north, but the figures in both cases are doubtless exaggerated. The Germans claim that 30,000 Rus sians, almost an army corps at full strength, have been taken prisoners, is incredible.
 ut ilOot SiSDlllCdHt uiSpdiCH u yto- terday was the report from Sofia, Bull garia, that the Austrians had suffered an 'irreperable defeat' in the great engagement that has been raging be- tween the Dniester and the Vistula riv- CTS for the past five days. It is interest ing to note that Bulgaria is a power friendly to the Austrian cause through enmity of Servia.
 If the reports of Russian victory are true, it will have a vital bearing on the campaign in east Prussia, and will enable the Czar to hurl his full strength against the already demor alized German defense. There is re- markable similarity between the Ger man campaign in France and the Rus sian in Germany.
 The allies continue to fall back slowly before the Teutons. Fighting is still general The French war of flee professes to be optimistic over the situation of the troops, while the Brit ish official press bureau is silent.
 Only time will reveal the true story of the happenings in northern France, and an impatient world can but wait.

State Highways

This weeks scouting trip" of State Highway Engineer W. s. Keller is of great interest throughout northwest Alabama. As yesterdays Age-Herald told, the purpose of MT. Keller's trip is to look over conditions and locate a state highway from Birmingham to Tuscumbia by way of Jasper, Haley vile and Russellville. On his return trip MT. Keller will come by Court land, Moulton, Hartselle, Cullman and Oneonta.
 Since all of north Alabama is pro- gressing and steadily increasing in population there should be several state highways in this section, and it is hoped that MT. Keller in his report to the legislature will recommend a highway that will pass through Annis- ton, Gadsden and Huntsville and an- other traversing the Tennessee valley from Huntsville to Florence by way of Athens; all that in addition to the highway from Birmingham to Tus- cumbia by the way of Jasper with a branch to Oneonta and Cullman. Ten or twelve years ago state high ways would have received little con sideration from the legislature, but it is different now. Every farmer and every merchant in the state thorough ly appreciates the value of good roads. The counties are making fine head way in road building, and the state should not hesitate to build through roads in all populous sections.

Meeting Modern Demand.

We found that we must, to keep np with the modern ideas, provide an auto hearse," said Wallace Johns.
 They are very costly, and ours is the handsomest vehicle in ebonized wood carvings and appointments that money can buy.
 No, 1t Is not speed that was need 10 miles an hour. In this day of so many privately owned automobiles, whose owners would like to use them attending the last rites of a friend, the helse drawn hearse followed by the carriages made it awkward to use all automobile; this Is all too evident to dwell on. Sooner or later the horse- drawn carriages, carrying only four persons. will give place to the auto mobiles of the taxicab companies, car rying seven passengers. And the friends of the mourning family can use their own automobiles. And then there is a matter of economy in the new order in addition to other advantages.
 ''The safety of the anto hearse as compared to stumbling horses, some- times falling. lis very important fea- ture. It is well nigh impossible to climb some of the steep, paved, hilly streets with the horse drawn hearse. The noiselessness and safety and con- venience of the auto hearse are points much in it's favor

RaeIs Erom scotland

T had been in Scotland nearly two | months when the war came on and that caused me to hurry home" said James Hillhouse, one of the most popular oi
 the older citizens of the Birmingham dis trict.
 T was in Great Britain during the first days of the war excitement. Had l been younger man I would have volunteered for the conflict. As l saw the Scotch regiments passing through the towns with bands of music and pipers playing stir ring and patriotic music l was greatly excited Never was there such unity
 of feeling in Great Britain as there is today. All classes are loyal to the Brit ish cause and Englishmen and Irishmen English unionists and Irish home rulers will be found fighting side by side. The
 English and Scotch people have long had
 liking for the constitutional monarchy, but no sovereign has been more Loyalty or enthusiastically supported in any crisis than King George. He seems to be'won- derfully strong in the affections of the masses.

OUR MANUFACTURERS WAKING

From the Cleveland Daily Iron Trade. CTS to the challenge of their countrymen to make good the deficit in some of the important manufactured articles resulting from the cutting off of all imports S the result of the European war, has been almost instant in some cases that are becoming known. Concerns that have been
 content with furnishing only portion of several raw materials which would enter into the manufacture of finished article are undertaking to supply the missing materials themselves or are ar ranging with other American manufac- turers to do so. In several cases build ings are being planned, and closely pur-
 sued investigations are developing other plans which have to do with supplying American manufacturers with materials for which they formerly were content to l go abroad. The necessity of the moment | has produced some results already and the resourcefulness of American manufac- turers is being tested far more practically than at any time in the past quarter | century. America today possesses as well 1 equipped chemical laboratories and as keen and spirited investigators as any country in Europe. These two resources are being brought together while native
 materials in various sections of the coun- try are being put through the furnace
 and the ultimate results cannot long be in l doubt. True. some materials such as platinum may be lacking for the time
 being, but before spring there will be
 more new lines of manufacture developed | in the United States than was deemed possible three months ago. Little by it- 1 tie the facts are coming to the surface, and they are given great deal of sat- is faction to the men who have the cour- age and insight to back their investiga- tions with hard money. By the time the crops are moved and the American fog is floating over 100 or so more of
 ocean-going vessels, some of these very ships may be required to carry American
 products of far different nature than ever before to ports of neutral nations. The American manufacturer is waking to a realization of the needs not only of his own country but of others. He also | is aware more fully than ever the satis- !! faction of these needs means remarka ble i financial returns to himself. Therein lies l the reason.

Cotton Production Figures

The census bureau has just issued bulletin No. 125 showing the cotton production in the United States "for selected years" Quantities are given iA running bales, so that round bales are counted as half bales. Linters are excluded.
 The production for 1913 in the Uni ted States was 13,982,811 bales on 37,- s0,000 acres. Texas with it's vast .rea has been for many years the leading cotton state, but its produc. on per acre is smaller than Georgia's ,r Alabamas In 1913 Texas produced },773024 bales on 12,597,00O acres. Georgia, now the second cotton state, reduced last year 2,346,237 bales on .318.000 acres. Alabama, the third otton state, produced 1,4S3,669 bales Ii 3,76O 0O0 acres.
 Mississippi, which used to outrank Alabama as a cotton state, produced ast year 1,251,S41 bales on 3,067 ,000 cres It is a noteworthy fact that while Virginia is not much of cotton state it produced more to the acre than any ether state-24,569 bales on bales. Alabama acreage was larger than usual that year-4,017 .OO0.
 Phe record breaking cotton year was 1911, when the total number of bales was 15,553,073. That year Alabama according to the census figures, ex cluding linters, produced 1,695,2S4 bales.
 It lis roughly estimated that Ala iama's crop this year will be some hing like 100000 bales.

 When Dudley reached the tower he was
 placed in what was known as the gar den tower. The duke with the other of the consprators. including the Marquis of Northa mpton Sir Thomas Palmer, Lord 1 Robert Dudley and Sir Henry Gates. was brought to West minister Hall for trial. where the aged Norfolk, white with years
 and sorrows, now freed from bonds, and restored in blood, presided as lord high steward, and pronounced the sentence of death on his cruel foe. | Dudley, who could not deny that he 1 had been in arms against Queen Mary, | pleaded his commission under the great
 seal, and protested against the lords who had signed that commission judging him
 to death. Everyone felt that he had made point; but the peers were not open to regal pOlnts, ana when he had
 made his protest Norfolk declared that
 he must die.
 | The trial of Dudley began on August B and was speedily concluded, and Mon- day August 21, was named as the day
 upon which he must die. The guards
 were drawn up, the block was made ready and the headsman waited with his ax. But the luke made a feint, which put off the evil hour He desired that spirit ual aid be given him before his death and the execution was postponed long enough that mass could be heard at St. Peters 1 church.
 | The delay and the denunciaton of the 1 faith to which he had so long adhered did not save Dudley, although it is said that Mary would probably have spared | his life, but Renard would not listen to her plea of mercy The conspirators

Pretty Little Romance

That Lord Kitchener of Khartum sec- retary of state for war in the British cab inet, is the only non-royal person to whom royal princess had ever proposed marriage, was a story related yesterday by Maj. E. M. Tutwiler, who was in Eu- rope several months during the spring.
 Lord Kitchener, according to Major Tut wiler, who saw the warrior during the coronation of King George and subse- quently, is a confirmed bachelor, GA years old and exceedingly brusque. He is un- popular among the people, but is highly regarded as general and as a loyal Rritisher.
 T heard the story told that Princess Mary had proposed to Lord Kitchener, ,' said Major Tutwiler. Tt appears that and that Kitchener frequented Bucking- ham palace on business and was observed by Princess Mary frequently. Finally it was related that Princess Mary proposed to the great soldier. Being a loyal sub- ject the hero of Khartum was compelled to inform the Queen of the situation. Upon being asked why she did such an unmaidenly thing the daughter of their majesties remarked: I knew that as Lord Kitchener was not of royal birth that he could not propose to me so l simply proposed to him..
 T cannot vouch for the authenticity of this story told about the man who is just now so much in the eyes of the public but it seemed to be the subject of conversation for awhile in England"

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF JOHN DUDLEY

OHN DUDLEY, the Duke of North umberland, was the most influential man in England during the reign Of Edward VI. and he would no doubt have continued to hold that position had am- bition not led him into the attempt to
 make Lady Jane Grey the Queen, thereby deposing Mary, the rightful heir, and
 the daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon He succeeded in keeping Lady Jane on the throne for nine days, and | then he was compelled to proclaim Mary in her stead, while, it is said, the tears rolled down his cheeks, after which he
 was arrested, lodged in the tower, speed I fly tried and executed.
 | Dudley was schemer of the first water'' When he saw the end of Ed ward VI was near, and realizing Mary was unpopular in London, he quickly
 conceived the plan to marry his 17-year- old son Guilford to Lady Jane Grey Be- ing in full power at the palace, when
 Edward died he kept the death secret close for two days giving him sufficient time to make all preparations for the placing of Lady Jane on the throne
 The scheme worked all right for the time being, and although Lady Jane was opposed to the plan, yet she was finally prevailed upon to accede to her father in-laws wishes, and on bright July
 morning in 1533 she embarked in the royal barge at Sion, landed at the Queens stair and under the roar of saluting guns, and through crowds of kneeling citizens, she reached her royal lodgings.
 Mary's friends at once became active and raised a large force to dispute the right of Lady Jane. This, it was soon found was to be easy, for not only her own friends rallied to her support, but a great number of the nobles who had sup ported Dudley turned upon him and it
 was only nine days after Jane was made | Queen that the friends of Mary were able | to overcome the Dudley conspirators.
 Dudley was sore in mind. He saw that his scheme had failed and knew that his | blood was forfeited to the law. When he heard the news that Mary had been proclaimed Queen he called for herald. and going into the market place with Northampton and Warwick he read the proclamation and threw up his cap. But

The Price of Sugar

If is stated that more than 100000 ons of raw and refined sugar have beer, shipped to Europe since the war began, Agents for European markets have been in this country for several xeeks buying sugar in immense quan- ities and unless some action is speed i ily taken by the government the United States will be face to face with sugar famine. At least this dire prediction is being made by people who are in a position to know the rapacity of spectators who are trying to corner the market for such staple supplies as the powers will be willing to pay fancy price for later on, may bring about serious state of affairs, unless the government calls halt

Discussing the production of cocoa in the two islands of Principe and Sac Thome, Portuguese West Africa, the Rev. J. H. Harris declared at Whitefield's tab

They passionately appealed for liberty to return to their homes in Central Africa
 We have said that secret clause ex- istcd in the Anglo-Portuguese alliance binding this country to protect the colo nies of Portugal against all her enemies. Portugal replied that all the natives la boring on the cocoa plantations were do- ing so of their own free will that they were so happy on these islands that noth- ing would make them return to their homes in Central Africa. For the last 15 years we have built from the unofficial standpoint a formidable case until it was impossible to deny the truth We have now official reports which remove all question regarding the truth of our ale cations, and we have four British consuls investigating the case"
