and crew. provided these are not a part of the military establishment of the enemy.
 The demand of the United States upon Austria In connection with the Ancona case is broader than any German admis- sion. being based upon the contention that international law The Hague conven- tions and the declaration of London all require warning before sinking vessel and insurance of the safety of the pas sengers and crew even when the vessel Is of belligerent ownership. and where she does not comply with German ideas of the term liner. The Austrian government has not admitted any such obligations and recent events in the Mediterranean indicate that her submarine commanders are sinking merchantmen without warn ing and without inquiry as to whether they carry neutral passengers. So far no explanation beyond that of military necessity has been offered for this viola tion of what the state department re- gards as the elementary principles of in ternational law and of humane warfare.
 Unless the expected note from that gov- ernment should amount to a sudden and total severance of diplomatic relations, it is expected in official quarters that the Austrian foreign office will seek to justify its methods, perhaps adopting one of the original German contentious in the Lusi- tania case, that the appearance of the submarine as weapon of war has intro- duced new problems and not only justified but demanded departure from the old rules.

Terrific Windstorm
 Causes HedOy Damage

Part of the top floor of Chris cafe on First avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets was blown out this morning at 1:55 o'clock by wind storm, the velocity of which was esti- mated at 60 miles an hour. No one was hurt when the front wall of the sec. Qnd story was blown out, although R. D. Oderois. one of the porters of the cafe, narrowly escaped death when the bricks fell to the sidewalk. He had just gone to the sidewalk when he heard the groan of the front wall cornice of the cafe as it gave way.
 Oderois ran towards the entrance of the cafe and escaped the avalanch of brick and mortar which fell to the sidewalk. It happened that no pedes- trians were near at the time of the accident and no one was hurt.
 The big plate glass windows of the Simpson Methodist church, Seventh avenue and Twenty fifth street, were blown to smithereens when the wind hit it this morning at o'clock. The smok estack of the municipal power house at North Birmingham was blowt down this morning at 1:55 o'clock, and

GREATEST ASSET OF
 MINERAL DISTRICT
Tuscaloosa as Well as Bir- mingham Seeking to Real
 iZe on the Warrior

The Warrior river is the greatest asset of the mineral district of the state of Alabama" said Howard L. Smith, a prominent attorney of Tuscaloosa, who was in Birmingham last night. Just as Birmingham is beginning to make a great effort to realize the full benefits from water transportation, which the canaliza- ton of the Warrior makes possible, so is Tuscaloosa eXerting herself to the same end. We are already receiving in small way the benefits of the river, but the advantages thus far are but an indication of what is to come. Tuscaloosa, without any wharves and without any facilities for loading and unloading freight, has demonstrated that the river is a big sav- ing in shipping freight to and from the gulf and to and from the Atlantic sea- board. The Board of Trade and the city commission of Tuscaloosa now have under consideration plans for the construction of modern loading facilities and wharves which will eliminate the excessive cost and trouble in handling freight at Tusca- loosa. When this is done, shipping to and from Tuscaloosa on the river will receive q big impetus.
 "A great many people seem to have an idea that the mere fact that a city is To- cated on navigable water, ipso facto se- cures for that city water rates from the railroads. This is an erroneous idea, and the interstate commerce commission will not require a railroad to reduce it's rates just because a city is on a navigable stream The only way for the Birming- ham and the Tuscaloosa districts to se- cure the advantages of the river is to ship so much freight on it that the rail roads in self defense will lower their rates.
 Mir Smith came up to witness the pie ture, "The Birth of a Nation," and he stated that large crowds from Tuscaloosa were planning to see it during the time it was presented In Birmingham. "I want to congratulate The Age-Herald upon it's generosity in entertaining the Confederate veterans at this wonderful presentation '' said MT Smith. "It was most thought ful act and one that was highly appre- ciated by the old soldiers

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Birth of a Nationo

The general character of "The Birth
 of a Nation" at the Jeffeson all this
 week, matinee daily, is of necessity
 sober and somber. It represents a criti-
 cal period in the history of the states.
 It pictures a time that tried mems
 souls," and is not to be approached in
 levity or with the view that there is
 "a laugh in every line" It is not a
 farce; it is not comedy. 1t is simply a truthful picture of the times it por-
 trays. and there was little of comic nature about those times and events. Yet there is comedy in D. w. Griffiths filmed spectacle. Comedy of the most delicate sort, but comedy nevertheless. There is the typical southern home where all is good cheer. Wars alarms have not yet disturbed its serenity. A northerner is visiting his old college chum. Youth will be served, and in their playful wrestling and chasing each other about the old mansion and grounds we have pure comedy and the best of good feeling. No matter if with in a few months they are to die on the field of battle, enemies but clasped in each others arms.
 Then there is the young daughter of the southern home; almost hoyden, playful as a kitten, up to all sorts of tricks with her brothers, sisters and their guests. Alas, later we see her tragic end, when to save herself from 8 fate worse than death, she jumps from the high cliff. Comedy that ends in tragedy. but comedy just the same. And so through it all there are bits of the lighter shade of life to be over cast by the somber shade later on. And that is what makes "The Birth of a Nation" the greatest drawing attraction that the Jefferson has had in years. A crowd is being turned away from the theatre daily.

fiercely on the Dniester and in Bessara- bia. The Austrian communication speaks of the Russians advancing in serried lines 15 or 16 deep, which the artillery broke up with huge Russian losses
 dispatch from a German source says: "A terrible battle has been going on since Friday in Bessarabia.'
 The German campaign in the near east and beyond, according to today's teie- grams, is to be pushed with the utmost vigor and energy. Field Marshal Won Mackensen is reported to be the leader selected for the new theatre of operations, and the invasion of Egypt is said to be his immediate object. Numbers of trains are reported to be conveying ammuni- ton and guns to Constantinople and other preparations are being pushed on a big scale.
 From any isolated fronts come reports of preparations for spring campaigns, either in the form of a change in the To- cation of large bodies of troops or in the building of Notifications.
 Along the Dvinsk and Bug lines the Germans are said to be constructing CO., lossal Notifications equipped with heavy artillery, and with machine guns and au- tomatic rifles supplied in unlimited quan- titles.
 The Bulgarians are reported to be busy entrenching their armies well back of the Grecian frontier. while equipment con tinues to arrive for the French and Brit ish at Salonika, which in the report Of General Castelnau is considered by its defenders impregnable.
 A change also is noted in the Turkish dispositions at the Dardanelles, where the defenders of Gallipoli are in possess sion of heavier siege guns which have been better served since the Austro-Ger- mans opened the road to Constantinople.
 It is understood that the British au- thorities are making every possible prep aration adequately to defend the Suez canal and their Egyptian possession.

SPIRIT OF RIVALRY
 OVER BIZ HIGHWAY
 IN FOUR COUNTIES
Monroe County Has Just Let Contract for Imme- diate Construction of
 Sixty Miles

Montgomery, December 2S.-(Specal) Monroe and Baldwin counties have en- tered into friendly contest with Clarke and Washington counties for the Jackson highway. This is indicated by the fact that Monroe county yesterday let a con- tract for the immediate construction of 60 miles of good roads, stretching from the Butler county line to the Baldwin county line. As a further indication of the contest, Baldwin county has under contemplation d bond issue for the con- struction of bridges and ferries across the Alabama river, and is already en- gagged in highway construction along the proposed route.
 News of the rivalry for the Jackson highway between the counties on the east side of the Alabama river and the coun- ties on the west side, south of Montgom- cry, was brought to Montgomery today by State Engineer w s. Kener, who was in Monroeville yesterday when the contract was let for a road across Mon- roe county
 This highway, according to Engineer Keller, will cost in the neighborhood of $S0000, and will be one of the most modern in the state. The county will use state aid appropriations for 1914 and 1915, and will apply for the 1916 appropriation, re- ceiving, in the end, about S75O0 from the state.
 The road on the east side of the Ala bama river, south of Montgomery, has been completed as far as Greenville, with the exception of short stretch of a few miles, From Greenville to the Monroe county line there is another good road, leaving to be constructed roads in Mon roe and Baldwin counties. The Mon- roe county road will be constructed im- mediately, and if Baldwin county carries out her plan of providing modern way of crossing the Alabama river into Mo- bile county, the counties east of the river, it Is thought, will stand good chance of securing the highway.
 However, Clarke and Washington coun- ties are preparing to contest the claims of the eastern counties. As is known, both of these counties have given as- surance that they will construct roads through their boundaries by next fall, and are also making plans for the con- struction of bridge across the Tombig- bee river at Jackson.
 If these plans are consummated, they their claim to the Jackson highway, to Mobile is farther over the present proposed road west of the Ala bama river than over the road on the eastern side.
 If both routes have been completed by next fall, the Jackson highway commits sioners, when they make their return visit to Alabama, probably will travel over each of them, awarding the high way on the basis of the better route.

ISSUES STATEMENT

New York, December 2s.-Warden Thomas Mott Osborne of Sing Sing prison, arrived here shortly before 10 o'clock tonight and issued the following statement regarding his indictment:
 "At a meeting in Yonkers some weeks ago spoke of the grand jury perform ance at White Plains as not an investi- gation, but conspiracy. The result has justified my assertion.
 Because T have run Sing Sing prison with business honesty and efficiency { have made myself hated by the corrupt political element that have long utilized the prison for their own foul purposes.
 Because I have reduced vice and dis order to a minimum within the prison have incurred the hatred of the few prisoners who had long enjoyed special privileges at the expense of their fellows
 Because I have served the state to the best of my ability the very machinery of the law intended for the protection of society has been prostituted from its high purpose to serve the vilest end by means equally vile
 "I have no fear of the result. No jury will be blind enough, no court unfair enough to carry this conspiracy to ulti- mate success. The real question is, What do the people of New York state propose to do about it?'
 Before leaving Ossning earlier in the evening Warden Osborne said he called the prisoners together in the mess hall at the prison and announced to them that he had been indicted.
 There was no demonstration on the part of the men, he added. 'as many of them, no doubt, were glad to hear the news.'
 The warden was asked whether he would give bail.
 No" he said, q will not. am not going to spend my good money for that. :"
 The impression prevailed that the war den would go to jail and there await the date of his trial rather than furnish bail for his release.

February for passport frauds, told the federal authorities that Boy-Ed asked him to go to England and locate a fleet of British dreadnaughts. Captain Boy-Ed denied knowing anything about the pass port fraud or that he sent Stegler to England as a spy.
 During the trial of Karl Buenz hero about a month ago on charges of con- spiracy to defraud the United States through false manifests issued to steam CTS sent with supplies to German war ships, counsel for the defendant admitted that the German government expended more than $2.00O,000 here directly after the beginning of the war in sending out sup ply ships and that Captain Boy-Ed su- pervised some of the expenditure.
 Secretary Lansing requested his recall on December 2. The German Emperor on December 10 recalled both Captains Boy-Ed and Franz von Papen, the Ger man military attache.
 Providence. R. l., December 2S.--The Providence Journal today sent a long wireless dispatch to Capt. Karl Boy-Ed, on the steamship Rotterdam.
 Your farewell statement to the Amer ican people, in so far as it relates to the Providence Journal" the message said, 'is willful and deliberate falsehood. Has the Providence Journal created a hysterical suspicion concerning the de- struction of American factories, the mur- der of American workmen, or the daily plots against the peace and safety of the government and its citizens, almost all of which acts have been fathered and financed from your own office? Every word of what the Journal has published with regard to your personal connection with these plots has been true, and mo- body knows 1t better than yourself"
 The message reverts to its charges that Captain Boy-Ed wrote the warning to the Lusitania; to attempts. it asserts, he Great Britain with false affidavits re- garding shipments of supplies to naval vessels. and to the sc-called 'Huerta plot" The newspaper declares also that an attempt was made to ''bribe it into silence by 'the offer of a large sum of money for the formation of press bu- reau.' The message ends with this dec laration: You know well the reason why the United States government refused to permit you to remain any longer in this country. These reasons were not based or 'hysterical rumors printed by the Providence Journal.
 Your attempts to make the American people believe such a ridiculous falsehood ia your farewell insult to a government and a press that have treated you with urexampIed patience in the face of evi- dence which, had it not been for the pro- lection given you by your official stand ing would have long ago placed you behind prison bars.'
