 We had taken the first line of trenches anu advanced upon the second line of trenches when flag of truce appeared, and a German officer with an orderly came up to ask me what terms he could get Tor surrender The orderly acted as interpreter. ] have since found out that the German officer understands English as well as I do myself.
 T had already written out the terms of surre-1er. It was to be an uncondi- tional surrender of all his forces and his arms. There was 40 minutes parley- ing with altogether too much German for< me. At last, my patience exhausted. [ pulled out my watch and gave him fiyo minutes to sign Surrender I like that man. He's one of the coolest soldiers I,ya met. He talked German to his interpreter Tor exactly four minutes, and then he signed Surrender
 'I sent Lieutenant Bond with the Ger man officer. who undertook to order his men to cease firing at once. The lieuten- ant was armed and I told him at the slight est sign to shoot both the German officer and his interpreter. The second line Of trenches being reached, the German of ficer kept his word, but the other men rushed into the trenches and rallied the' natives, who opened fire. Lieutenant| Bond shot that man dead, and about 10 other natives also died as the re- suit of the treachery
 We found that Herbertshohe was splendidly prepared for defense. They had had two months to get ready and their trenches and defenses were placed in iseal positions

through the acknowledgement of the f'atherhood of God. The oneness of the Christian Church is realized in the &C., knowiedgement of the incarnation of God Tn chrfst-the revelation of the Fathers love in the terms of human life. The oneness of the Kingdom of Christ on earth is realized through the aclknowl- edgement of the Holy Ghost as the per- sonal revelation of God through Christ. binding the individual to the Father through Him, and therefore, binding all men who come to that truth in the fellowship of a common life
 For this revelation of the Holy Trin ity the Lenten season stands. No man can approach God except through pen itence. All men should come to him. Why should not all Christians join in keeping Lent, the age-long penitential season of approach to God?
 Deciding Factor in Unity
 ''The deciding factor in the unity of the Church and the Kingdom of God will never be arrived at by tinkering with patching up and smoothing over the difference that exist between Chris tian bodies. but must come from a deeper study and a fuller realization of the life of God and the richness of human fife revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, and recognition of and obedience to the Lordship of Gods Holy Spirit over the heart, mind, will and life of man.
 Entirely too much time, energy and talent has been and is still being spent in considering the differences (often supremely unimportant) which divide the bodies of Christians from each other, and entirely too little attention is paid to the essential oneness of all faith full people through the person of Christ.
 Lent, then, stands for the spiritual fact, dear to all Christian people, which, if it could be perfectly realized, would be the presence and power and joy of God in life. This fact is beautifully described by the saintly George Herbert when he calls 1t The dear ast of Lent
 Churches representing four hundred and fifty million, more than four-fifths of the Christians of the world are pre- paring to keep this fast of the Church Universal, which begins next Wednesday, If not among those who keep Lent you are cordially and lovingly urged to join with us in keeping this fast.

DECATUR

Decatur, February 13.-(Special)-E N. Duncan, city bacteriologist of Birming- ham, arrived here late yesterday aft ernoon and will make a test of the Wa ter supply of the two Decaturs, for the rurpose of deciding whether or not the water contains typhoid fever germs.
 MT. Duncan came here at the reques. of Superintendent E. R. Whitton, of the Decatur Water Supply company. MT. Whitton says he is satisfied the water contains no typhoid germs, but he wants thorough test made.
 According to q number of weIl-in- formed farmers and planters in this sec ton of the state there will be more cot ton planted here this coming season than was planted last season. One reason they give for this is that this last fall the average share cropper" did not raise enough cotton to pay him out of debt, hence he will be compelled to plant more this season in order to get rashions to carry him through the crop season.
 A damage suit for 5000 was filed in the law and equity court yesterday, against the Louisville & Nashville Railroad by Mrs. Emma Sparkman for the alleged killing of her husband, Dick Sparkman, in the yards of the railroad company in New Decatur on February 16. 1914.

shall be made per year shall read that the water company shall not be com pelled to ''install more than 5000 meters during one year.
 Whether or not, in consideration of the low price of 6 cents on the water fur- nished by the water company to the city for redistribution at North Bjrmins- ham, the license of the company shall be based on 2 per cent of it's gross re- ceipts.
 Whether or not the city shall or can blnd itself not to condemn the water works plant provided the efforts to buy 1t at a price set by board of appraisers should fail.
 Whether or not the members of that board of appraisers shall be nonresidents or Jefferson county or shall be stipulated merely as "disinterest, honest and able parties.

 Minimum as Low as SLIP
 It developed yesterday that the proposi- ton, while providing for a straight min mum Of S.25 on the meter basis per quarter. under circumstances of consumer using a small residence, the minimum could be as low as H.12 thus benef1ting the poorer classes who live in the small two, three and four-room houses
 There were present yesterday the three commissioners, President A. M Lynn and Superintendent IT. H. Horner of the wa terworks company any City Engineer Kendrick.
 The suggested changes made by the commissioners were in the main agred to by the waterworlSs officials but were taken under advisement to be submit ted to the company's counsel Walker Percy who was unable to be present yesterday. Another conference will be held between the parties probably Mon- day.
 The points regarding rates as contained In the original proposition of the com pany appear to have met with the favor or the commission and that part of the agreement does not now enter into tho negotiations. These rates, as have been published, provide for better rates throughout Greater Birmingham either at the wish of the consumer or the water works company, the minimum quarterly charge to be 25 and the rate to be 20 cents per 1000 gallons Flat rates on a l similar basis are included, but it Is gen. l orally regarded as mere formality for It will only be matter of time until | all consumers will be using meters
 Agreement Seems Probable
 While an agreement Is by no means a | certainty it surely is more than a. mere probability now, and it probably will be reached this week.
 If it is not reached there can be no | doubt in the mind of any person familiar | with the negotiations. but that the failure | vas due to an honest difference of opinion | as to the rights of the contending parties | ana not because one or the other failed | to put something over'' on his opponent |

MORE ABOUT ROADS

e-building of the highway from

city and the county north has been
aiken to mean only the first impe-
us to substantial road building IL
outhern Grant county. The mer
Tho have advocated this road and
lave seen that the appropriation
vas made are to be thanked most
%ieartily. They are doing what
hey can 90 for us and their eff
orts do nOJ lack appreciation.
With tie increasing demand for
better roads comes an increasing
lemand Tor material that lasts
onger.
In some sections enthusiasm for
mooth highways has been consi-
lerably uampened through the
act that Jne contractors or some
body haven't given the taxpayers
he worth OF their money.
There - no doubt in the world
hat improvements are due along
his line. In some states early
highway construction amounted to
figures that looked as if a war
