Position of Allies More Fay0rable-Aviators Are Playing Important Role for French and English

Paris, September l5.-(3:50 p. m.) It was generally anticipated today that an attempt to stem the tide of their rapid retreet would be made by the Germans after the allies had com pelled them to retire defeated from the great field of battle to the east of Paris where they had fought stub bornly for seven days and suffered enormous losses.
 It has been revealed that British and French aviators ran great risks follow ing the retrograde movements of the Ger man army but succeeded in gathering the information that the Germans had erect ed field works at various places along the northern plateau beyond Rheims
 These works were Intended by the Ger mans for the event of meeting superior forces and being obliged to retire and reform.
 It is understood they left several corps on the left wing and on their center with the desperate task of holding these lines so as to prevent their pursuers from harassing the bulk of the Germany army. which in the meantime, was making quickly for the frontier.

 MT. Gerard was then instructed to as- certain if the German Emperor desired to confirm these reports.
 President Wilson tomorrow will receive the Belgian commission to lay before him tfeir complaint against alleged violations ,of civilized warfare in the German in- vasion. It generally is understood the President will make a general statement aftcf the Belgians have seen him, reiter- ating the neutrality of the United States.
 The commission arrived here tonight. It will call on Secretary Bryan and be es- corted by- him to the White House.

Since President Wilson's tender of good offices, was acknowledged in a noncommittal way by Germany along with the other belligerents American diplomats have been watfD lful for the slightest indication of readiness to talk peace. Ambassador Gerard ad- vised the American government early last week before the inquiry was ad- dressed to him that peace overtures were at that moment inadvisable. On the other hand, the American govern ,nlent had before it the reported will inghess of the Emperor to make peace

Visitors Invited to Mountain
 to Share Hospitality of Those Living in Vicinity
Many People We'll Known in Bir-
 mingham Have Charming Homes
 Far Away From the City's Smoke
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

The Summit Baptist Sunday school children "barbecued" last Friday.
 The site selected was the grove to the front of Walter Fowlkes' home-a grove in which magic spring bubbles.
 Everybody in the little town of Sum- init participated They put Summit on the map, For whereas, the town is not incorporated, it proved possession of everything save a mayor and board of aldermen.
 It was a remarkable picnic and a re- markable barbecue. For. contrary to the usual rule, it was enjoyable not only to children, but to lovers and grown-ups. Early in the morning they gathered everybody. There were little tots no high CT than a knee, and there were old men with boards resting on their bosoms. There were young ladies and young men who ate their well cooked meat gingery and then strolled out under the biggest trees which cast the biggest shadows And there were married people-happily married people. The women discussed the sewing circles and the men engaged in the ever enthralling subject of pol itios. As a result of that discussion, it be- came known that the people of Summit do not vote in Summit. They go to Oxmoor They declared Friday that they had given Oscar Underwood a fine ma jority. and had thrown their favors to B. B. Conner. Very quietly they added that their box went also for Batson.
 
 It is very beautiful at Summit. AS a If fo little of that which surrounds them Summit is up on the mountain. The air is crisp. One breathes it and is filled with desire to live in that atmosphere. There are many trees. all capable of cast ing shadows. Looking down from the mountain, one beholds views which com pare with those which greet the eye in North Carolina, or when looking south ward from the top of Lookout. Nature painted there with a prodigal hand.
 Around the mountain, many people dwell. There are living there many peo- pie who were born there and have never been foolish enough to leave. There are others living there who went high" for fresh air and for health for-life. There are others living there who grew tired of Birmingham. the never ceasing hum of Birminghams industry, the ever enduring quality of Birmingham's smoke All of them have builded homes and are proud of their homes. Surrounding the site on which the meats were barbecued live William Tyler, Will and Evans Hale, Professor Strock, Walter Fowlkes, A. A. Jones, B. H. Cooper. Tunstall Perry, Dr. n rIo Sanders, Beecher Adams. Jack Williams SpieS Whitaker, Frank Hewitt, Charles Martin, John Hunter-and many others.
 As said above, everybody took an in- terest in the barbecue. Tn the beginning, 1t was agreed that B. H. Cooper should cook the Brunswick stew for B. H. Coop CT, having cooked thousand, is an adept. It was also agreed that MT. Cooper's man, Jake White-who says with laugh that he is the only white negro on the mountain-should attend to the barbecue.

HUERTA WARSH|PS
 AT PUERTO, MEXICO
Presumably Preparing to Carry Out Dictator's
 Blockade Order

Vera Cruz, June 6.-Late advices from Puerto Mexico reported that two Mex ican gunboats had called there and pre- sumably were preparing to carry out President Huertas blockade decree against Tampico. The steamer Antilla. with a large shipment of arms and ann munition for the constitutionalsts is ap- preaching that port Rear Admiral Bad ger has instructed the commanders of the United States gunboats Paducah and Sacramento, off Puerto Mexico. to follow and not lose sight of the Mexican war ships if they leave the harbor.
 The admirars orders, however, are only to keep the ships under observation and indicated the possibility that the gum boat Des Moines is being held in read mess to proceed for f'ampico it being stated that "the Des Mofnes possibly may leave Vera Cruz in the near future for a destination unknown
 Brigadier General Funston today said that reports had reached him that the commanders of the Huerta gunboats in- tended to surrender their ships to the constitutionalists at Tampico when they reached that port. He added however, that navy officers and all who knew the gunboat commanders secuted such an idea believing they would remain loyal to Huerta.
 No train has reached here from the capital in the last 24 hours. The fed eral outposts say that the delay has been caused by wreck.
 German property holders in Vera Cruz have received word from Huerta off cials that they will be compelled again to pay any taxes already paid to the Americans if the Huer,a forces ever re- gain control of the city. They have also been notified that if they refuse to pay taxes to the Americans and are fined and pay the fine to the American officials they will be compelled to pay five times as great fine to the Mexicans

SUMMIT SUNDAY SCHOOL BARBECUE PROVES
 DELIGHTFUL MEMORY TO THOSE WHO ATTEND

Jack Williams conceived the idea of auc- tioneering the meat which still reposed tempting on the broilers The people gathered around, and this genial spirit, holding aloft the shoulders. or the side, or the leg, or the ribs of kid or a lamb, or calf or a pig. called for the high est bid.'' And 1t happened that more than one man secured s4 worth of fresh meat deliciousIy barbecued for a quar- ter. There was laughter and good fel- low ship preyailing-even in the making of shrewd bargains.
 There were a number of visitors on the ground, people who have spent their days in Birmingham and rejoiced when invitations came to climb up and live for a day. Some of these. following the dinner, watched the boys play ball. 9th CTS visited the ..neighbors," for every body was keeping open house.
 Will Hale was anxious to- show his kids-for he has an acre of them, about 200 in fact. He lectured on the value of rasing goats and explained the won derful art his herd possesses in the re- production of species. Walter Fowlkes carried a party out to his hills over and around and about which cantaioupe vines were twining He promised delight full breakfasts in the future. As mat ter of fact, he intends building break fast house in his cantaloupe patch. AL most anybody would do so if he had the patch and the mountain and the scenery and the freshness of the early air. There is nothing to make a bed more repug- nant than the atmosphere of the noun tain when the day is just coming and the sun like ball of fire glows up in the east
 And John Hunter showed visitors his Orpington chickens and his pigeons He and Tunstall Perry have thousands of birds of the two varieties There is cock on the place which crows whenever a stranger appears and no dog is needed to frighten the thief which prowls in the hour of the night. And there are many other interesting things owned by the owners of the mountains-gardens and flowers and fruits and fertile fields. It Is really a wonderful place.
 Night came all too soon. The sun went down-a wonderful sight. the tumbling of the sun under the side of the hill. Like fireflys sparkled the far away lights of Birmingham. A stiff breeze winged it's way out of the groves. Mothers called their romping children. And the shadows came downt
 Everybody had had a good time and everybody promised again to visit Sum- midway up on the mountain road.
