pletely successful The Russians re- treated. leaving 200o prisoners and two machine guns in our hands.
 Further south on the Narew river a strong outworl at Rosan was stormed. We took 560 prisoners and captured three machine guns.
 The enemy endeavored to offer obsti- nate resistance on the Narew. His des- perate counter attacks with hastily gath cred troops on the bridgehead position of Eozan Pultusg and Novogeorgievsk failed. The Russian losses were heavy. We took 1000 prisoners.
 "The Bonie-Grojec position offered the enemy only brief respite. Under the com pulsion of our troops who had been re- inforced from all sides, the Russians be- gan to give up their fortified positions to the west of Grojec and to retire to the eastward.

 TABLE LEWIS RESOLUTION
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery, July 21.-(Special) Senator John Lusk of Marshall county did not make a motion in the senate last Saturday to table the Lewis res olution providing for an investigation Of the code commission of 1911.
 The Montgomery correspondent of The Age Herald in Sundays issue of that paper published a story to the eff feet that Senator Lusk defeated the Lewis resolution. but this statement was incorrect. The error was unin- tentional

 When the senate convened at 3:30 clock this afternoon Senator Harry T. Hartwell of Mobile read the follow ing statement to the senate:

Beautiful Work of Art on Exhibition
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Understand this is the criticism of a laymen; the raw material" not the fin shed product" for the cells of my brain labeled vacant are probably greater in number on the subject of art" than any of the rest, that instinctively l know wha t Is beautiful, although to the initiate my mode Of expressing my appreciation may be asthmatic and St Vitus-y.
 'lndecision" represents a young lovely woman, who stands at the cross.pg of the ways, on the threshold of d great choice.
 At her left stands a tall. 1.-the. graceful youth, with all the world before him. fame and happiness awaiting him. and this he offers to her with his heart and hand.
 At her right stands "Old Age" withered, bewhiskered, grizzled and gray, with his coffers of shining gold gems serene and wealth galore on a silver platter, so to speak-a life far spent, youth gone-and yet he aspres to her heart and hand
 The maiden stands in an attitude of In decision" while the youngster at her feet holding the diadem, the crown of precious stones, wears an eager. expectant look, curiously awaiting her decision.
 .'Technique," which to my mind spells beauty" in the blending of colors, nuances, lights and shadows, is fiagrantly beautiful in this pastel.
 The artist has caught the light of the brilliant sky in the expression of the maiden fair whose fate hangs In the bal ances, and in her eyes the violet shadows that girt the brilliant sky at sunset
 The exquisite harmony of pale yellow and ecru tints. bordering upon softer browns and golds, the blending of the heavy, rich green and cream tints, makes an unspeakably beautiful combination which refutes all idea of Mrs. sShaw as to the statement that beauty blnds,' for in this instance 1t awakens every fibre and sensitive quality that the beholder of the picture possesses and commands him to appreciate the talent of the artist who limned 1t.
 Mrs Garner, the artist, is an Alabama woman. formerly of Jacksonville, and her painting, ''Indecision, has been exhib- tied in many of the large cities of the south where it has received a nenthusias- tic appreciation.
 Art lovers will enjoy seeing the pastel during the present week at the Adams Art company, and those who do not avail themselves of the chance will miss gold en opportunity

REMARKABLE
 TESTIMONY OF
 AN OLD SOLDIER Gains 21 Pounds and Health Is Fully Restored Since
 Taking Tanlac NOW WALKS SEVERAL
 MILES DAILY He Says "Tanlac Is a Won derful Remedy and I Want All to Know of It"

Writing from the National Soldiers Home at Johnson City, Tenn, George w.. Cahill, an old veteran who fought all through the civil war and who had been In very feeble health for sometime, says:
 For more than year I have suffered With stomach. trouble and eczema and was in terrible rundown condition. l had fallen off until I only weighed Ill pounds and was just barely able to move about my room.
 T tried all kinds of treatment but nothing took did me the least good and l was very Respondent. I heard of this Tanlac and the remarkable benefits people were deriving from 1t and decided to give 1t a trial. I sent down to the Gregory company's store and got a bottle and from the very first few doses I began to notice big improvement in my condition. have now taken nine bottles of the medi- cine and am happy to state I feel better than for years.
 T have actually gained 21 pounds in weight and am so much stronger; I am now able to walk several miles each day. My appetite is greatly improved and everything seems to agree with me as I no longer have that uncomfortable feel ing after my meals. I also sleep well, am not nervous and feel like l. have been made all over again. Tanac Is certainly a wonderful remedy and I want the people
 
 soldier who was almost on the brink of despair"
 Commenting on the above statement, MT c. F. Willis, southern distributor of Tan lac, said:
 Tt would be impossible to emphasize too strongly the great value of Tanlac in treating the infirmities of old age. Hundreds of people of advanced age in all sections of the country have testified that they have used it with the most gratify- ing results.
 When people grow to the ripe old a ge of MT. Cahill their digestive organs . lack vitality and begin to act more slow ly and less effectually than in youth. The circulation becomes poor, the blood gets { thin, the appetite fails and the digestion weakens. Tanlac, the powerful reconstruc- \ tive tonic, is the ideal strengthener and body builder for old folks, because it creates good healthy appetite. strengthens digestion, enriches the blood ! and in this natural manner builds up and | |invigorates feeble, rundown, nervous and aged people,"
 Tanlac, the premier preparation that is beng so widely discussed throughout the wonderful results in the treatment of all stomach, liver and kidney disorders and ucstsrrhal Arrangements of the mucous membranes, is sold in Birmingham exclu- isively by Patton-Pope company and hJacobs' drug store. It is also on sale at Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug com Ipanv and in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Icon.pa any.-Adv

neutrals may travel anywhere on the high seas on unresisting ships of any nationality, even if carrying contraband.
 About 1900 Words Long
 The note is about 1200 words long. While nowhere in it is there any direct inti- nation of the course which the United States will pursue in the event of an other disaster similar to the Lusitania tragedy, there are emphatic statements throughout the communication pointing out that the discussion of the principles involved has been virtually concluded and that future conduct of German subma- ripe commanders will determine the re- sponsibility for the continuance of friend ly relations between the two countries.
 The statement that future transgres- sions will be regarded as "unfriendly'' Is taken in diplomatic usage to presage break in friendly relations unless repar- atfon and disavowal Is forthcoming. Pres ident Wilson it is understood, has con- sidered fully and at length the construc- ton which may be placed on the implica- tions of the note, and Is prepared to deal with any new situation that may arise. He is hopeful and confident. however, 1t is said. that Germany having, already modified the practice of her submarine commanders will now take such pre- cautions as seem necessary to prevent any action that would endanger friendly relations with the United States
 From o'clock this morning until late tonight. the President with the exception of few hours spent in recreation. was at work on copy of the note. Secre- tary Lansing, who had drafted it. worked on the original and took 1t to the Pres ident tonight with several changes. The President agreed with MT. Lansing's sug- gestions and tomorrow the document will be finally revised in phraseology before starting on its way to Berlin.

NUR friend MT. Bernard Shaw, in the brilliance of Man and Super man." allows his heroine the bright observation that beauty blinds, or rather that in becoming accustomed to it we become insensble to it.
 Nobody sees it after it has been in the house a half hour" is the direct quo tation from his highly delectable brain.
 The question of the truthfulness of this flash of genius was brought to nay copsidr era ton yesterday afternoon as I stood "Indecision," in the show windows of the Adams Art company and medtated upon its lovliness.
 Two artists were standing near me, and was interested in their observations, for artists as a rule are always observant (and these were not exceptions), seeing that which they go to see only and missing, I think, many things many times. much of the beauty that an amateur enjoys on account of their insistence upon tech nique, color, shades and effects. which because they are motonless become to the simple-minded laymen the negative.
 Anyway, to return to the painting.
 It is a long way from the Knoedler Art galleries in New York to the Adams Art company's attractive little shop in Birmingham, but if there ever was more beautiful painting shown in the New York Salon than "Indecision," by Geraldine Blackmore (Mrs. c. W. GarneD, l have failed to see 1t.

 A rich. dark green drapery extending over the floor and festooning the sides of the windows, blends most appropriately with the dull green and gold festooning the sides of the windows. blends most ap- propriately with the dull green and gold and ecru tints of the picture.
 A vivid light shows the work of art to be as exotic as a samovar, as essentially un-American as any painting shown in the far-famed galleries of Europe.
