To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In last Sundays edition of your paper, read an article written by Mir. John Rob- ert Foster. Historic Cahaba.
 In quoting from my book. Memories of Old Cahaha." he refers to the incident mention of General Forrest having met General Wilson in cahaha after the battle of Selma to arrange terms of surrender and exchange of prisoners
 He adds: This is quite unlikely, as old soldiers of General Forrest say they do not remember the incident and doubt if the two generals ever met. S
 l was quite young girl at the time of this occurrence. but l remember dis tinotly having heard that General For rest came to Cahaba and met General Wilson at the old Croeheron place, then the residence of Col Thomas M. Mat thews. and the indignation expressed by the citizens. especially the women. who even at that late day could not bear to think that our cause was entirely lost
 In the long interval of years this fact had almost been obliterated from my memory until it was recalled to me by Dr. A. w. Jones of this city who told me that he was on General Forrest s staff and went with him to Cahaba to arrange terms of surrender and exchange prisoners after the battle of Selma
 Dr. Jones said that General Forrest came to Cahaba from the direction of

Note Unchanged

Berlin. July 9.-(Via London, 12:45 a. m. 1.-The fact that the American gov- ernment will not enter into preliminary negotiations respecting the forthcom- ing note was communicated today to Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, under secretary of foreign affairs by James W. Gerard. the American ambassador.
 The note therefore will go forward to Washington in approximately the same form as drafted.
 The outlines of this draft were suh- mitted to Ambassador Gerard and for warded to the state department, in the expectation by German officials that the United States would suggest any changes that might be deemed advis- able.
 Although, according to some unoff,- cial dispatches from Washington, the note is considered unsatisfactory" il is believed here that 1t Is far less so than when the exchange began. and 1t is hoped it will lay the basis for con- tinuing the negotiations.

vessels which do not carry munitions of war if the arrangements were first made between the belligerents. Such a method, described in diplomatic usase as a modus vivendi. would not involve any surrender of rights for the future and would be ap- p]icable only during a fixed period.
 Would Imperil Rights
 For the United States of it's own initia- five to make concessions, it is held would imperil the entire fabric of American rights with other belligerents.
 The suggestion is contained in the Ger man note as now drafted that system of inspection be begun whereby American officials and German consular officers would certify to the character of the ves- sells carrying departing Americans. This, if is asserted, would also be an un-neu- tral act. The United States has had no official connection with the certification hv British consuls of cargoes of goods consigned to neutral countries. These ar- rangements merely have been entered into bv American ship owners themselves to nrotect their vessels from detentions and delavs It is considered improbable that owners of British vessels would agree to any inspection by German officials or
