 One of the commissioners stated yes- terday that he would rather establish another grade crossing there than go without the improvement, which will result from the construction of the street car line, meaning that he would allow grade crossing before he would consent to the tieing up of the Avenue F line. but he stated at the same that first everything possible would be done to see that another grade crossing was not established there. It is stated that many of the Louisville and Nashville trains pass this point at considerable sped and that there are great chances of 1t developing into regular death trap providing the street car company is allowed to cross the railway tracks on grade.

From the New \ ork Herald
 For women and girls, of course, the appearance of pretty Princess Mary with her hair up was the subject of much talk For the information of the sweet seventeens in or out of society 1t may be noted that Princess Mary has dis dained the "half-and-half" style of hair dressing that takes refuge in 2 plait ana bow of ribbon.
 She has oldly taken the plunge right into the grotnup state at once and even has adopted style somewhat old Tor her years an by no means according 10 the latest fashion in cultures Instead or having her hair drawn up to the top or her head, with her hat crushed down ar the top. as the very modern ycuug wom- an prefers the princess has elected the .'bun'' style of a few years ago and TOT wearing her hat well on the top ot her head as her mother always does, Nor does she favor that other present-day style of half covering the ears with she halr'

JASPER TO HAVE SAFE
 AND SANE FOURTH
Celebration Will Take Place at Fair Ground Saturday-Water Supply
 Running Short

Jasper, July 1.--(Special )-Plans have been perfected for a sane celebration of the Fourth of July at Jasper and other points in Walker county. The cele- bration at Jasper will be held at the fair grounds and will last all day. It will consist of horse racing, motorcycling foot races etc, and prizes will be given to the winners. A feature of the ath- letlc sport will be the. tug of war between a team chosen by P. M. Long of Cordova and one by A. s. Preston of Jasper. The baseball team of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company will play the local team two games on that day.
 The recent large increase in the con- sumption of city water, due to the ex- treme unbroken drouth, has caused the local water, light and power company to request their customers to economize as much as possible in the use of water and has requested the city to cease sprinkling the streets until the water supply promises to increase.
 The very dusty condition of the new clay roads in Walker county has rem dered automobiling less popular than it growing corn and cotton by the roads travelled most are brown with dust which has fallen on the growing plants.

ing of "Tipperary" by the naval ap-

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The German official statement
today says that strong Russian
forces attempted surprise attack
on the fortifcations of Darkeh-
men, in East Prussia, and that
they were repulsed. Semi-ofhcial
information from Petrograd is
that operations along the Prussian
front are turning to the advan-
tage of the Russians and that the
Germans are retiring in disorder.
Meanwhile the great battle in
Russian Poland, between the Wis
tula and Warta rivers, continues
without definite results. The
German war Office states that the
Russians were defeated in a battle
south of the Vistula, and that
1850 men were captured. Far
ther south, in Galicia, the Rus
SLAMS are said to have reached
Cracow and to have begun the
siege of the city.
According to the French official
statement, the German forces in
Belgium are on the defensive
and the allies have made progress
at certain points" Fighting con-
tinues in the Argonne, where,
the French statement asserts,
German attacks were repulsed.
The whereabouts of the Ger
man Pacific fleet, of which little
has been heard since it sunk the
British cruisers Good Hope and
Monmouth off the coast of Chile
nearly a month ago. has become
one Of the mysteries of the war.
Dispatches from Montevideo
again report that this feet is now
in the South Atlantic, although it
was said last week to have re-
mained off the Chilean coast.
British and Japanese naval squad
rons- have been securing the seas
for weeks for the Germans.
Russia's campaign against Tur-
key has reached a period of in
activity. The latest report from
the Russian army. of the Caucasus
is to the effect that no movements
of importance are under way.

At Mouth of the Plata.
Interruption of British shipping and the
Quitting of German merchant ships WIN
s,,nn,,es were accepted here as con-
hrmatory of reports of the approach of
the German fleet. which is now believed
to be off the mouth of the River Plata.
The German steamer Patagonia is

North Pacific Not Menaced.
SEATTLE, Wash, November 60
With all five of the German cruisers in
the Pacific accounted for in southern
waters, the British Columbia cities OF
Victoria, Vancouver and Prince Rupert
have recovered from the feeling of
uneasiness which prevailed when the
Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Leipzig, Dres-
den and NnEnburg were reported at
several places in North American wa
ters. The Leipzig was sighted as far
north as Cape Mendocino, Cal, August
10. and then headed for South America.
This is the nearest approach OF a Ger
man cruiser to British Columbia since
the war began.
Termed Pure Inventions.
Reports of naval engagements in the
north Pacific persisted. yet are pure in
,yentionS, according to British naval
authorities. The allies patrol Of the

new attack against the allies.
That the enterprise that failed in
Flanders will not be repeated for the
present seems probable, as the allies
have been allowed to capture some
points of vantage around Ypres. which
were previously considered necessary
to the German plans.
There has been a minor attack near
Arras. but not in strong enough force
to suggest that the Germans have de-
cided to try to<get to the coast by di-
rect route. from the east.
Unofficial dispatches declare that
zeebrugge is again preparing for an
assault from the sea, with the Germans
directing their activities toward the
suppression of all efforts to signal
from the land to British ships off the
coast.

BUENoS AIRES, Argentina, Novem-
Der 30.-Dispatches received here from
reason to believe. that the German
squadron which has been operating in
the Pacific ocean Is at present In the
south Atlantic. Neither the French
nor the British legation here has any
information to confirm these reports;
nevertheless private dispatches give
them credence. 1t is related among
other things that several German
steamers are preparing to leave Monte~
video to provision the German war
ships.
Reports that the German Pacific
squadron had succeeded in making its
way to the Atlantic have been cur
rent for two days. Under date Of No
vember IS Montevideo reported that
the German squadron had been sighted
500 miles north OF Punta Pillar, Brazil,

New Army for Flanders.
1t is reported also that Germany is
about to embark on a new offensive
movement and that new German army
is being rushed into Flanders.
In view of these conflicting statements
1t is impossible to discern even the prob
abilities Of the near future. Fighting at
present apparently is confined to opera
tions in the Argonne.
The Germans although making an oc-
casional infantry attack, seem at present
content to lombard the allied positions,
but with somewhat lighter guns than
they have been using. This may mean
either that they are sending troops and
artillery to the east to use against the
Russians, or that they are preparing
