Nashville, Tenn, Jan. S.-In cele-
bration of the centennial anniversary
of General Andrew Jackson's great
victory over the British under Pac
kenham. Nashville today staged a min
iature battle of New Orleans. From
behind breast works constructed Of
cotton bales on Capitol Boulevard,
uniformed Confederate veterans play
ed the part of "Oid Hickory's" men,
resisting an attack by state guard
troops. Other features on the jack
son day program were big parade in
which civic, patriotic, commercial and
military organizations joined; exer-
cises at the Jackson statue on Capt.
toll Hill, the statue being hung with
laurel wreahhs and the planting of a
hickory tree in Centennial Park. The
annual banquet Of the Andrew jack

occurred this evening. The day has
been proclaimed as a holiday here.

Brilliant Exploit
By French Alpine
Troops on Skis
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST Die, Department of Vosges
France, Jan. 6.-(via PARISH bril-
liant exploit by French Alpine troops
who charged on skis down mountain
slopes at Bonhomme. on the Alsatian
frontier, forced the Germans to retire
on Orbey, FIVE miles down the valley
of the river Weiss toward Colmar.
The Germans held the railroad from
st. Marie to st. Croix, menacing St.
Die, where the French heavy artil-
lery opened fire on January 8. That
led the Germans to expect an attack
from that direction. At the same time
the Alpine troops, leading the way for
French infantry. advanced on the Ger
man customs house at Diedolshausen,
near Bonhomme
A strong German detachment with
quick firers held the route, but the
winding nature of the road prevented
the Germans from firing more than
700 yards along it. The French adj
vanced to within that distance of the
Germans while the Alpine troops be-
gan to climb the heights for q flank
attack.
Progress was slow and the dark
forms of soldiers outlined against the
snow made excellent marks for the
German sharpshooters. Many of the
men rolled down the steep slopes 1eav-
ing crimson stains behind. However
the survivors pushed forward until
they gained the shelter of the sum-
NIT pines.

Washington, Jan. S.-Louisiana's in
vttation to congress to attend the CEN

mette was acknowledged in the house

lana to celebrate properly the great
victory achieved on the field Of Chal-
mette by American arms under the
leadership of Andrew Jackson, and
rejoices in the heroic valor displayed

Of
PEACE BETWEEN
U. S. AND BRITAIN
One Hundred Years After
Last Armed Conflict Be-
tween English-Speaking
People Is Being Quite
Fittingly Celebrated.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

New Orleans, Jan. Stirring a
salute OF 81 guns exactly one hundred
years after the last armed conflict be-
tween English speaking peoples,
marked the opening here today of
three days Of celebrating the centen-
airy of peace tween Great Britain and
the United States. Historians say that
the battle of Chalmette in which An
drew Jackson triumphed over the
British, ended at $500 a. m. January s,
1915. and the saulte today was timed
to end at 800 o'clock.
Prominent among the many cere-
monies planned for the day was a
formal greeting between Andrew j.
Peters, assistant secretary of the
treasury and President Wilson's per-
sonal representative and H. T. Ca
rew-Hunt, British consul here and es-
pecially appointed envoy of the King
of England. Gold reproductions of the
medal authorized by congress and pre-
sented to Andrew Jackson were
stamped for each representative.
The Seventh United, States infantry
which organization formed part of
Jackson's army was here from Gal
weston. That regiment with detachz
ments of artillery and cavalry is un-
der command of General J.
Franklin Bell, while sailors patricipat-
ing are commanded by Rear Admiral
Mclean.
After the international greetings
Preparations were made for unwilling
U monument to General Jackson. It
stands on the spot that Jackson had
his standard during the battle of
Chalmette. The same drum used by
one of Jackson's commands was
loaned by the Louisiana Historical
Society to beat the '1ong rolf calling
the soldiers and sailors to maneuvers.
Prominent peace advocates of Can
ada and the United States are here
and many features OF the three day
program are planned at sites and in
buildings made famous by historical
incidents of hundred years or more
ago.
