NEW COUNTRY HOME FOR CROWN PRINCE Palace Will Be Ready for Frederick William by
 Next Spring

Berlin, October Correspondence Of
 the Associated Press )-The splendid coun-
 try residence for the Crown Prince on the
 Jungfernses. a broad arm of the Havel
 at Potsdam, has now been completed in
 the rough and will be ready for occu- pancy by next spring The erection of the palace was rendered necessary. it is ex- plained by reason of the increase in the princess family. The Emperor supplied the money for building it and it will re-
 main the property of the crown, to be- come the residence of future crown princes
 The palace is really a group of buildings centering upon not less than five courts and covering about 12000 square yards There are apartments for the Crown Prince himself, then for the Crown Prin- cess and children; others for the officials of his court. and still others for the servants. Not less than four approaches for vehicles will be made-one for mem bers of the royal family, which leads into the court of honor. second for guests and the court officials. third for the children of the royal couple. and fourth for trades people and servants. The buildings will be surrounded by spacious grounds, partly terraced; there will be l two so-called rose gardens. and these, as well as the rest of the establishment, will give beautiful views over the Have, I lakes. The buildings are rather low and | of simple outlines, with high roofs cov- cred with red tiles The place will be
 just good. modern house. with an abund- ance of room and with modern comforts. which are rather scarce in the older pal aces of Germany There will be, for
 example. not less than 20 bathrooms.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 While the Chamber of Commerce is canvassing for larger membership which, by the way is a laudable pur- pose. let's at the same time give serious heed to the population and business in- terests already located in our midst.
 On my arrival home lew nights ago. l was informed that some one had been there. as well as all over the neighbor- bod, taking pictures, and that they would be back in few days with the proofs at which time they would naturally eX- pect an order. and. in most instances would get one. or else there is serious trouble with the little folks of the home who have posed in all of their dirt and grime Tor these photos. AS matter of fact. these pictures are not any good and soon fade away like a mist before a rising July sun. The price, though trivial and inconseauential, whatever it is, is loss to the patron and the duly licensed photographer, who cannot resort to mak- ing this kind of trashy pictures I, ot course, do not know, but I doubt serious ly. if the itinerant photographers evei pay l cent into the city treasury. About the time we, the patrons. and photog. raphers, get over the effect of one oi these visits. leaving in their wake a sorr, lot of pictures. which would only make good scare crows" on q rice farm. there comes another along with his donkey or some other as appealing animal an6 again the ''kiddies' are lined up' te have their pictures took" The photographers of Birmingham a. whole are high-class, high-toned, pol ished gentlemen. who are legitimate busi ness people who are contributing theil pro rata share toward the maintenance of the city. and are entitled to our pa tronage and protection. Let's give it tt them. H. H THOMS. Birmingham, 5SO3 Thfrc avenue, south November F. 1915

, Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor, Of The ASe-Herald:
 We have been a reacer of The Age- Herald for a long time. and of course we follow the war articles with interest. Being German-American, We wrote you about a year ago. While We know you are for the allies, being perhaps Eng lish, or supported by that class, we can t of course blame you.
 Now, in the first place, we denounce all
 war and don't believe in it, but since
 it's here to deal with. ana we can't help to express ourselves to the numerous
 errors you make about the central pow
 CTS, and if you will remember the tone your columns used in the beginning, and how you modified down, and all the other
 o-English papers, you have improved
 nightly. All this past paper talk has
 been bark The allies have not scored a
 single lasting victory except driving
 commerce from sea and taxing away the
 colonies, for which they are going to pay very very dear in the end.
 Our first letter year ago was an an Swer on your article ''Barren Victory" We then predicted a total defeat for the
 allies. and we do now more than ever. Just think of the Dardanelles, the cen tral armies in France and Russia. All your writing about starvation or short age of rations in Germany Is guesswork We have letters direct from friends that claim the country. while some articles like fat products are rather scant. the cereal. potato and fish consumption is much greater, and Germany has ample supply for F months or more Of course the government is the distributor. While other nations try and deceive themselves Germany does not do that, but remains to the truth and etonomIzes in time. We ! wrote this letter today in answer tC the Bethlehem fire, where you have il German sympathizers might find it hard to conceal their satisfaction. By George they don't but wish every powder plan, i in America would blow up, without loss of life. of course. Then this one e-sdet neutral United States would soon end tho war. Kindly put this under your ink stand. and remember, every German American Is with Germany in this war and they will win. A Stetson hat, bes quality, if you want it. Truly,

Newspapers and the Censors

CharIton Bates Strayer in LesIies
 The French and Anglican papers have been censored in the reporting of war news, but have been fairly outspoken in their criticism of the war policies of the allies. The newspapers of Paris have made recently united defiance against censorship which prohibits the publication in French papers of war news which then appears in for elgn papers that are brought into the country. In England the Earl of Sel- borne. president of the board of agri- culture, has made similar attack upon the censorship. A much more serious popular protest has arisen in connec-

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Letter From Miss Tutwiler

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Please oblige me by correcting a missprint of the printers or mistake of mine in an article printed Sunday. It should have been as follows: The whole appropriation was $500O; about $4500 went for teachers salaries about $500 for school appliances. My salary at S52 month for a school year of nine months; in all, $46S a year. These were the conditions Tor 14 or 15 years. l do not think it was plainly stated that of the six honors given at the end of the year the 200 youn.. men received two and my band of 10 girls the other four honors. Yours truly,

out of the game with Vandy Saturday, has no chance of getting into the game with the Yellow Jackets, having a strained muscle in his leg. It will prob ably take the big halfback three months to completely recover.
 Captain Cohen of Vandy was the only man on the Vandy squad with any marks after the battle. Suffering with a lame leg, the plucky Commodore en- tered the battle and led his charges in wonderful style. The Vandy leader earned himself a position on the all- southern eleven by his performances. He spilled the Auburn interference on the attempted end runs and was down the field under every punt and aided other Commodores in getting the Au- burn runner in his tracks His injured leg was slightly strained and it is thought sufficiently to keep him out the game Thanksgiving with Sewanee.
 Captain Bidez of Auburn, although injured to the extent to force him to withdraw from the game Saturday be- fore it was half over, was not seriously hurt and will be in good condition for the Georgia Tech. game. He was not hurt but only exhausted by his con- tinuous line plunging.
 It is considered remarkable that no serious injuries were inflicted owing to the tierceness and importance of the mingham should look forward to next November when the south's football classic will again be staged here.
