 The superiority in artillery which the Austrians established in the first stages of the war owing to the intro auction of the new Skoda sixinch how itzer and the loan of a number Of German eight-inch batteries, continu ss to be the determinant factor, the Rus sians being shelled or bayoneted out of one position after another.

 Few women in Birmingham have re- ceived more touching tributes or more heartfelt eulogies than were accorded the memory of Mrs. Annie Bradley Mccoy, wife of Bishop J. H. Mccoy of the Meth cdist Episcopal church, south, yesterday morning in the Fountain Heights church, where she had labored for the Lord in the closing years of her life. From Bishop Collins Denny of Richmond, who pro- nounced the funeral sermon to the hum blest woman in the rear of the auditorium who had crept in to weep at the thought of the deads last act of Kindness, all joined in homage to a life sans peur ct sans reproche.
 The church was crowded to capacity long before 10 o'clock, the hour for be- ginning the services arrived. Of high and low degree they came to witness tho ldSl sdu fitSS-ntlSilpoiS Nilo Hdu ioNto her for her gentleness, associates who had worked with her in service of the church and who had rejoiced at her answering adherence to what she believed her duty, the poor who had received benefactions 3. her hands and children who had felt vaguely the benison of her spirit.
 The casket rested in the center of the chancel and was the heart of a mass of flowers of bewildering variety of design and exquisite beauty. The resources of Birmingham florists had been taxed to McCoy's bier Among the most striking wreaths were a mammoth cross from the Methodist ministers of the Birmingham district, a harp from the South Highlands Methodist church, where Bishop Mccoy formerly served as pastor, a rose design from the board of stewards and Brother hood class of the Fountain Heights church and a striking design from the Ladies Missionary societies of the Fountain Heights church. In addition were count less wreaths from private friends of the family all over the south.
 Bishop Mccoy bore up under the strain of the service with great fortitude with his hand over his face He sat in the front pew on the east side of the church where he had an unobstructed view of the speak CTS and the casket. On either side his small children nestled against him and

road. Such road would supply long

absolute necessity. At the present
time there is nothing but burro trail

surveys have shown that it is a very
feasible route and would shorten the
route to eastern points by way of
