enemy from getting foothold in Pass de Calais |.
 By continuous offensive actions frona February to July in Champa gne. the Arsonne and Artois. it demeralized ap- prs ximately 2.0o0,0o0 men and captured an enormous amount of material Without allowing the enemy an instant's respite it forced the German general staff to utilize on the western front reserves in barracks and arsenals.
 '1t would be serious mistake to meas ure CUT effort by the ground conquered. The demoralization and wearing down of the German army is the real goal.
 We have attained this goal since 1t has been proved that during this six months the enemy has suffered heavy losses and taking everything into con- sideraton, he can only remove from our front per cent of his total effect ives.
 "The great battles on the western front were fought in Champagne during the months of February and March, between the Mouse and the Moiselle during tho month of April and in Artois during May and June.
 "In Champagne we have taken ths enemy's defenses for depth of from two to seven kilometres from one and one-third to four and one-third miles) which repeated and heavy counter at- tacks have not been able to recapture Between four and five German army corps have suffered heavy losses. two regiments of the guard being almost des stroyed. On the captured ground nearlY 200O German dead were counted. We tools POGO prisoners, rapid fire guns and largs number of trench cannon.
 'sTo this great success must be added the success in the Bos D D'Ailly and ths Bois De Pretre. which the Germans call 'Bois De La Mort

JAMES NOW AWAITS
 GOVERNOR ACTION
Unless Sentence Is Com muted Man Will Die in
 Cullman Friday

New Decatur. August 4.-(Special.l- am innocent of murder in the first de- gree. l still believe that Governor Hen derson will commute my sentence"
 This was the statement made today by George James, young white man now held in the Morgan county tail for satekeeping. and sentenced to death at cullman Friday by hanging. With the gallows already constructed, and with preparations completed for taking th. condemned man to Cullman Friday morn ing, his execution to follow immediately after his arrival, James today held firmly the hope that his attorneys, who are now in Montgomery. will be able to pre- sent his case in such a favorable light that he will be granted executive elem ency
 by a representative of The Age-Herald. James was inclined to be reticent. He declined to discuss his case further than to insist that he was not guilty of mur- der in the first degree, and to express the hope that he would be allowed to escape the scaffold
 James was convicted on January g, 1914 in cullman county of the murder of Enoch Clayburn, a white man. It Is claimed that racial troubles were the un- deriving causes of the tragedy, as Clay bourn employed negro servants, and the feeling in Cullman county is very much against allowing negroes to reside in that section. The late Judge D. W. Speake was the trial judge.
 "Claybourn's wife, her death bed, expressed the hope that I would not be hanged" said James today. "She said that her people caused her to make such a bitter fight to take my life"
 James appeared calm and shows no signs of the nervous strain that he must be undergoing. He has not been placed in the death cell although Sheriff For man is keeping him under the strctest surveillance.

 The citizens of Bessemer are mani festing much interest in the proposed reduction of 25 per cent in water rates III this city. but as yet no agreement has been reached between the city and the Bessemer waterworSs. It will be remembered that sometime ago reso- structing the city attorney to proceed pany, and it Is stated that this proposed reduction Is offered instead of having long drawn out litigation over the question of rates. It Is understood that d proposition was made by the water works company that for certain con- sessions and the withdrawal of suits the company would reduce the rates to consumers of water 25 per cent on the contract signed IS years ago and which still has IT years to run.
 It Is stated that one of the conces- sions Is to be that the city will not require the flushing of sewers by the company. this consuming a large quan- tity of water. It Is thought by mem hers of the council that the prospect of reduced water rates Is brighter than ever before and that the matter will be worked out to the satisfaction of all concerned.

BILL REGULATES RACE OF TEACHERS |NPUBL|C SCHOOLS Bonner Measure Passed in Senate Yesterday After
 Long Debate DENSON HAS A NEW
 SUNDAY BALL BILL Senate Begins Consideration of the Numerous Judiciary Measures
 Proposed by Recess
 Committee
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery, August 4-(special.) After long debate, the senate today passed the Bonner bill regulating the teaching of public schools. The measure provides that no white teachers shall teach in public colored schools and no colored teachers shall teach in public while schools. The measure, after con siderable discussion, was passed with cut opposition.
 The fight on the Bonner bill furnished the feature of the senate session. Va .ious amendments were offered to the measure, but only two were adopted by Senator Lee of Etowah to exclude deaf and dumb institutes of the state from the provisions of the bill, and an- other was an amendment offered by Sem ator Kline of Calhoun excepting church and denominational schools The bill as passed applies only to the public schools of the state.
 When the measure was called up for passage, Senator Holmes of Baldwin of fered strenuous opposition to the bill on the ground that if 1t became a law 1t would have the effect of excluding va IlOus pHlldltHtOplSlS lFOIn the stdte.
 Senator Thach of Limestone then wanted the bill amended so as to ex- clude the Trinity college. a negro insti- tuition at Athens, from the provisions of the bill. This amendment was defeated, however. on the ground that 1t would be unconstitutional.
 Other amendments were then offered to exclude certain institutions. but all of them were defeated, However the bill t& ,15 only apply to the public schools of the state
 Denson's Sunday Baseball Bill
 Senator Denson introduced in the sem ate bill prohibiting the playing of base ball on Sunday. The Denson bill is diff ferent from the Bonner anti-Sunday baseball measure, which was defeated yesterday in the senate, in that the Bon her measure sought to prohibit moving pictures and other amusements on the Sabbath day as well as ba seball. The Denson bill is aimed only at Sunday base ball.
 The senate spent the greater part of the morning session in passing bills, a number of which were local measures Among the latter bills passed was the Vaughan measure providing for the cleo tion of the clerk of the city court of Montgomery. the first election to be held at the general election in 1916, and every four years thereafter.
 Senator Judge called up and had passed a bill defining the manner by which incorporated social and literary societies or clubs may execute a mortgage or deed of trust upon their property
 A measure fixing the compensation of the secretary of the senate and the chief clerk of his office at $10 and ss per day, respectively, was passed.

 Direct operations against Warsaw are regarded at the moment as of less concern to the Germans than the busi- ness of advancing their wings through country which with the approach of autumn will become impossible
 Observers see in the German oper- stions east of the Vistula, in the vi- oinity of Matzievitze, a design to cut the railroad from Ivangorod to War saw and to draw a ring about Ivan gorod, compel the evacuation of that fortress and open the way for Field Marshal Won Mackenzen to the War saw -Brest -Litovsk railway. The Mat 1ievitz- Ivangorod operation is regard ed here ss the most important at the present time.
