 Desire For Bryan Peace Tour

New York, September 23.-Dr Will liam Forgo of Brooklyn took exception today to statements made at Washing ton by Louis N. Hammerlin. president of the American Association of For eign Language Newspapers. regarding Dr. Forgo's proposal to send William J. Bryan to Europe on a peace mis- sion
 Dr. Forgo said he had never claimed to represent all the members of the as- sociation. but only such papers as had assented in writing to the proposal to send Mir Bryan or some other peace emissary to Europe.
 MT. Hammerlins statement implies that I worked against President Will son." said Dr. Forgo. "I wish to deny this emphatically. When I talked with MT. Bryan regarding the peace mission MT. Bryan assured me President Will son was just as desirous of securing peace as he was.
 Before I called on MT. Bryan I had received more than 100 telegrams and letters from editors of foreign news papers regarding my suggestion. These I gave to MT. Bryan and told him that represented only these editors. Previous to this and while I was canvassing the situation, I sent Will liam Borsodi of New York to see MT Hammerlin on this matter. MT. Ham, merlin said that while he did not want to take a personal part in the move ment he was heart and soul with 1t.

The Marseillaise of Italy

II IoHl luo 4MdHtteStcT GudTuudu.
 The popular martial song Of Italy thai is likely to be the favorite of the Italian soldier Is ''E Bersaglieri." which is de- scribed as a canto patriotico. The words are those of a girl singing about her lover, whom she calls Tore. the diminu. tive of Salvatore. He has said good-by to her, has joined the Bersaglieri and has started for the frontier. It is an old song and the melody was sung years ago al the Empire in London to French words It is a song of the triple alliance, and the frontier men at the French frontier "E Bersaglieri'' was printed in Leipzig as well as in Italy On the cover there is the name of the deposito for Germany and Austro- Hungary. It will be strange for the Germans and the Austrians to hear the Italians singing it now as they fight by the side of the French and ad- vance over the Austrian frontier. The chorus of the song is:
 The Bersaglieri wear feathers in thei, 4 hats.
 O. what lot of poultry we shall have
 to pluck!

While Bulgaria Is marking time and mobilizing her military forces, word comes from Nish, the Servian capital, that S0O,000 German troops, according to the most authoritative estimates there. are available for the forcing of passage through Servia.
 As yet no general movement in this direction has been undertaken, all though preliminary operations by the Germans are under way. Having crossed the Servian territory, the Ger mans would have to advance through Bulgaria before they could bring aid to the Turks in Gallipoli and at Con- stantinople. Bulgaria's future attitude may depend on what action Germany takes with respect to Servia, or Ger many may be awaiting the comple- ton of the Bulgarian mobilization. The Bulgarian legation at London has pointed out that both Roumania and Greece have been mobilized for a con siderable time and intimates that Bull garia has a right to do likewise with out causing astonishment, but has of fered no explanation of the action of his government at the present time. The efforts of the entente powers, however, are being directed vigorously toward bringing about reunion of all the Balkan states.
 In the east the Germans have be- gun a big offensive movement with it's objective the capture of the fortified city of Dvinsk, which lies some 90 miles northeast of Wilma and Is the junction point of the Vilna-Petrograd railway line. The Russian advanced positions have been penetrated in this region and many prisoners have been taken. according to Berlin. A battle also is in progress along the Dvina river near Lennewaden, 30 miles south- east of Riga.

Looking for Original Poilu

Paris, August 25.-(Special. )-The newspapers are trying to discover the first soldier In the French army to whom was applied the name of 'poilu'' (hirsute). Le Matin claims that it was the general in chief Joffre, to whom this name was first applied when he was a captain in Indo-China. At that time he wore a splendid blond beard that profoundly impressed the Annamites, who have a strong habit of referring to distin- guished people by nicknames. They referred to Joffre as Loum- -Loum. which in Annamite signified hairy and in French "poilu."

, ed in the German official report, but a Petrograd dispatch says the Russian
 military authorities regard the with drawal of this large body of men as virtually complete and asserts that the Germans lost 25o,o0O men in their op- erations around Wilma.
 A Swiss report says the royal pal ace at Stuttgart was badly damaged by the raid of the allied aviators Wednes- day and that several members of the royal family were in the palace at the time. After the raid, 1t Is added, some of the afrmen flew to Friedrichshafen, where the Zeppelin airship factory was bombarded
 On the western line intense artillery engagements and bomb throwing and sapping operations continue unabated. Allied aircraft have been busy bonn barding German positions.
 The Italian official communication records the repulse of Austrian at tacks at various points and declares that in the region of the Daona and Giudicaria valleys the Italians by a surprise attack succeeded in demolish- ing part of the Austrian trenches. Vienna admits the evacuation of Monte Coston, which was attacked by an Italian force "10 times" stronger than the Austrian defenders. American vessels carrying condition al contraband of war hereafter under no circumstances will be sunk by the Germans, nor will American merchant men carrying absolute contraband of war be sent to the bottom except in cases of extreme necessity.

 LOCAL BUSINESS MEN
 TO MAKE FINAL COUNT
 The Age-Herald has selected for judges three Birmingham business men who have no interest whatever in any of the cAndi- dates in the race and whose integrity is beyond question.
 The regular count of ballots today is the last that will be made by anyone con- nected with The Age-Herald. Votes re- ceived today will be included in the standing to be published tomorrow lm- mediately after this count Is made the ballot box will be locked and the key turned over to the judges and will not be opened until the campaign closes, at , o'clock tomorrow night.
 The judges will count the East days bai- lots and will also verify the vote of the entire campaign. The results will be an- nounced Monday.
 The Age-Herald wishes it were possible for all of the candidates to win, as many have worked hard in the campaign, but ony five principal awards can be made, because the feminine parts in the photo- play are limited to five, and this was the original agreement with the Essanay company, who will produce the hlm !,
 The campaign has been interesting and has been filled with friendly rivalry. But more ladylike contestants could not be found in any campaign.
 ONLY A FEW HOURS
 LEFT IN CAMPAIGN There are only few hours left in The Age Herald and Essanay motion picture campaign to decide who are actually the most popular young ladies in Alabama and the ones to go to Chicago and the Essanay studio to be filmed in an Essa- nay motion picture which will be given a general release and appear in the prin- cipal theatres all over the world. The campaign will closely promptly at o'clock Saturday night at the office of The Age-Herald. No votes or subscrip- tions will count that are received at this office after the closing hour. The honors of winning this campaign are of almost unlimited value and the value of the motion picture parts and opportunities that go with them cannot be determined in money. Those who are in the cam paign to win will do well to exert every effort from now on to get all the sub scriptions and money possible.
