Dr. Whitten's Reply

To the Editor of The Age Herald: In your mornings issue Is published | letter from MT. c. R. Wetmore of Chicago. Ill.. In which he refers to an
 article of mine which you kindly pub 1 1ished last week, Passing over the | Gentleman's reference to mo as some

 the desire for additional dope"
 Please allow me to say that I was
 born in Alabama more than 65 ysars past, have labored In and for the good
 of my state more than 45 years along

 as a public man. Whatever good have been able to accomplish. the record l
 have made as a foe to evil and a friend
 to good, 1 have as a cherished posses sion.
 Being yet on earth" I am able to
 state the reason for my former article
 to which MT. Wetmore refers. I proved

 are very numerous. encouraged by sa- | loonists themselves. Let me give him some published facts about "AIilwau- | kee. Wis, with 2551 places paying gov ernment tax to sell intoxicants. while

 To get MT. Wetmore down from 'sus- pension in oblivion" and help him 'W1RSle some more, iet me assure mn that l never call the solons of Alabama the greatest bunch of idiots on earth.

RECIPE TO DARKEll
 GRAY HAIR
By a Specialist.

A very satisfactory preparation which darkens gray hair and acts as cor rective agent for dandruff and other dis eases of the scalp can be made at small expense and in your own home by dis- solving a small box of Barbo Compound in ounces of water and then adding an ounce of bay rum and a quarter ounce of glycerine. Any drug store can furnish these ingredients. This is to be applied once week until the hair is sufficiently darkened. then every two weeks to keep the hair soft and glossy and the scalp in a healthy condition. It may be used with equal success in dark ening the beard. This is s preparation that gives splendid results both as a hair darkener and d remedy for all scalp disorders, and is we'll worthy of q trial You will find 1t far superior to the ordinary store preparations and much less expensive.

May Improve Tombigbee

Columbus, Miss, January 16.-(Spe- cial. but reliable, inform aiion in possession of the Chamber of Commerce indicates that government engineers commissioned to make pre- liminary survey of the Topbigbee river between Columbus and Demop oils. with the view of making the stream, perennially navigable between these two points through the installa tion of ;l system of locks and dams will report the plan practicable from an engineering viewpoint and it seems that the only thing necessary to se- cure an appropriation from Congress will be to show that commerce result ing from the improvement will be suf- f'ciently great to warrant the expeii- diture.
 The civic chamber will probably ,ake steps to secure the necessary date.

The Cause of The War.

(From the Bartlesville Okla, Daily
Enterprise
We don't like to take the space
here for such lengthy item, but re
Gently this department was asked
what the present war in Europe
started about. Now comes a reader
and asks this department the same
question, remarking that "as you
are 80 darned smart in other things,
perhaps you can answer the ques-
ton yourself" We can. We will
be as brief as possible.
In the first place a Servian Social
list got drunk and killed an Austrian
nobleman and his escort (or maybe
it was his consort.) Anyway it was
some sort. Austria then got hot
under the collar over the incident
and said to Servia: See here, now
we don't want any of that rough
stuff. want to be a father to you.
Come into the wood she'd" Russia
was peeking through the fence when
she heard the conversation, and see
ing what was going on, said to Aus
tria, Don't you dare touch t at
child; he's my kid, and, anyhow,
you'd make a hell of a looking dad
dy" you We got another think
comm, " answered Austria. 81 don't
like the color Of your eyes, anyhow.
and your feet don't track besides, and
| can lick you with one hand tied"
Bully boy" says Wilhelm to Aus
tria. "If you can lick him | can, and
by gosh I'll do It. | can lick any
body; | can lick every body. Well
take him on together" So Germany
81 ps up on France when she amt
looking and lands with both feet in
the middle of Belgium. Get off'n
my belly" says Belgium, "or I'll
bite your leg off," "Ouch," says
Germany, "but I'll get off when |
get ready" That's not fair, says
France. Take that, you slob,"
handing Germany a hot one on the
snoot. Il hate a scrap" says Eng
land, but l can smash the jaw of
the guy that slams my friend"
You don't hate it worser than / |
do" says Japan as she squares off
for hand in the game. "Wcll, /
guess you started it, anyhow" says
Wilhelm to Mich. Just then every.
body begins to yell: you started it |
yourself" and each one sticks out
his tongue at the other fellow and !
they all clinch and the little fellows
begin to dance around watching for
a chance to get in a punch and run.
And there you are.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 3O.-The Rus sian offensive in East Prussia con- tinues with material gains to the in- vading forces. Pillhallen, ten miles over the border, and railroad cen- ter of importance, fell into the Rus sian hands today. The Germans de- stroyed large quantities of rolling stock and war supplies which they did not wish to fall into the hands of the victors.
 Battles Continue Day and Night.
 The fighting in East Prussia con- tinues day and night. Assault fol- lows assault as the commanders in- sist that the Germans be given no opportunity to reform the line and rebuild field forts. The new artillery reaching the front from Japan and Canada is now doing terrific damage to the German field forts.
 No Change Along the VistuIa.
 The reports received here from Mlawa, Flock and Sierpc indicate that no change has taken place in the relative positions of the two arm ies operating north of the Vistula and west of Warsaw. Gen. Hindenburg's operations near Warsaw have also failed to produce changes effecting the positions of the opposing armies.
 Russian Victory Reported.
 The Russian troops operating south of Dukla pass have won a signal vic tory over the Austro-German forces, slaughtering them by thousands as they tried to break through the cor don of troops drawn about their po- sitions. Large endorsements sent to the scene by Hindenburg arrived

GERMANY WILLING
 10 MAKE EXPORTS
Manufacturers Are Soliciting Orders In America-Military Strength
 Not Used.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The import CTS of this city have received letters from manufacturers of Germany in which they solicit orders, stating that in spite of the war the factories are working almost full blast and that the companies can turn out all the goods wanted by American importers.
 The letters indicate that the indus trial life of Germany has not been destroyed by the war but rather that the effort to secure foreign business is keen. Some of the letters from big manufacturers in Germany state that not a third of the military strength of the empire has been used in the present conflict to date and that the fatherland will continue the fight for years. The continuation of exports, especially of manufactured goods, will be of great benefit to the non-combatants of the country. is the opinion of the writers.

SENATE HOLDS
 NIGHT SESSION Ship Purchase Bill Under Consider ation-Republicans Trying To
 Prevent Vote.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The fight of the administration leaders to force the passage of the ship purchase bill resulted in an all night session of the Senate. The administration leaders are making strenuous efforts to force the bill and so far have been able to prevent the majority from bringing the measure to vote.
 It seems now almost certain that if the bill reaches vote it will pass and $5O,OOO,OOO will be appro- priated by the Senate to start a government-owned and operated steamship line between any port or ports the administration may desire to operate to and from.
 The certainty that the bill will pass if allowed to come to vote has caused the Republican leaders to make desperate and determined ef- fort to prevent the vote and the rules of the Senate allow the minor aty to hold up legislation for many weeks.

 OHIO COAL STRIKE
Men and Operators Have Reached An Agreement-Strike Has
 Lasted a Year.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 30-The federal officials, the mine operators and mine workers have reached an agreement to submit the differences between the strikers and operators in the Ohio soft coal section to a board of arbitration to be selected by the rep 'resentatives of the different officials.
 The strike has been in force now for a year and thousands of dollars in wages has been lost to the men and the mines have been operating on half time. Many of the mines have been closed down entirely. The mine owners recently started to eject the tenants in the mine-owned houses be- cause of the refusal to return to work. In some instances the men had not paid rent since the strike started.
 It is expected that preliminary agreement will be made in a few days by which the men will return to work until the decision of the ar bitrators.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-President Wilson will leave here in a few weeks for San Francisco to speak at the formal opening of the Panama fair. The president will take the northern route and stop at Seattle to speak. He will also speak in many other cities in the west and return ing will take the southern route. The plans for the trip are not officially announced and are subject to change. Invitations from many cities contin- ue to come into the White House asking the president to speak at the towns as he passed through or else change the itinerary to include their towns
 The speech making tour is not in the nature of a campaign trip, but rather is being made because of the demand by the people to hear the president.
 A large party of high administra' tion officials will accompany the president.

 The victory south of Duke may force the Austrian army operating in southern Poland to retreat as their line of communication is open to at- tack by the victors.
 Russians Still In GaIicia.
 The reports from Vienna and Ber- lin that because of the concentration of the German-Austrian forces in the Carpathian region that the Russians would be swept from Galicia, seem doomed to failure, as the Russian grip on Galicia is becoming strong CT as the weeks pass and the fall of Przemysl is confidently expected within a week. The sorties by the garrison become weaker and weak CT and the plague is causing many deaths, especially among the non- combatants in the city. The Russian containing force is slowly pushing the line of trenches nearer the pro. tecting forts, many of which have been reduced by the fire of the big Russian siege guns. The guns cap tured at Lemberg in the early days of the war are being used to reduce the Austrian forts.

BILL BE PASSED OVER WILSON VETO House Committee Votes To Report immigration Bill FavorabIe-
 Expect Success.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The House Immigration committee has voted to report to the House of Rep resentatives the immigration bill ve. toed by President Wilson beca6se it contained a provision barring from entrance into the United States the illiterate peoples of the world.
 A hard fight will be made by the friends of President Wilson to pre- vent the immigration bill becoming a law over the veto of the president. This they are confident they will be able to do as the Constitution of the United States provides that a two thirds vote is necessary to pass the bill over the veto of the chief ex- ecutive.
 The House of Representatives will vote on the measure first as all bills vetoed must be returned to the House from which they originate for con- sideration.
 The advocates of the bill insist that they have enough votes to pass the measure and will make great sacri- fees if necessary to get the required votes.
