President Expected to Dis cuss Situation With
 Senators Today
MAY MEAN FAILURE OF APPROPRIATION BILL
Democrats Admit Situation is Des- perate and Will Make All Ef- forts to Avoid Extra Sesion.
 May Adjourn Tuesday

Washington. February With q Congress. the fate of the government ship purchase bill still remains un- crtaln
 Whether 1t win be held before the Senate to tho exclusion of appropria- ton bills until passed or until the gavel ends the session March 4. must be determined by the President and ad- ministration leaders, Some definite un- oerstanding on this point probably will be reached within few days. The President is expected to discuss the situation tomorrow with senators who have stood valiantly for the bill through the last week of party re- bellion.
 That republican senators eventually might yield their opposition in order to take up appropriation bills anl let the measure come to vote. are denied by minority leaders, They insist the till cannot come to vote
 Democratic senators ehampioniag the bill admit the situation Is desperate They realize their insistenoe on keep ing the bill before the Senate will mean failure of the great appropria- tion bills This would make an extra session inevitable.
 If it is determined that an effort should be made to pass the appro- pration bills to avoid an extra ses- sion, the ship purchase bin, in the opinion of some of it's stanchest friends, must be withdrawn. Even then there may not be time to pass ali tho great supply measures. There are fights ahead on the naval and military bills and the rivers and harbors bill is certain to provoke attack.
 Whatever is decided as the pro- gramme for the rest of the session. the immediate situation is the pending motion of senator Clarke of Arkansas to reeommit the ship bill without in- structlons. Democratic leaders prob ably win let tae motion reach d ycfe tomorrow. A ron call is expected to show IS in it's favor to AZ against it. with Senator smith of South Carolina. democrat, absent.
 In the event of this result admin istratlon leaders plan to adjourn the Senate tomorrow night until Tuesday to make a new legislative day upon which Senator Cores motion to dis charge the commerce commission from consideration of Il sub ship purchase biil Introduced last week may be called up This motion will be debat- able and will operate to force tue re- publicans to fight it. They may talk on it until March 1. if they choose. or let it come to a vote With the aid o1 progressive republicans administration forces are confident they can carry the Gore motion. This would bring the substitute bill back to tho senate ana force the opposition to resume it's de- fensive
 should there be a decision to lay the bill aside the appropriation committees or the Senate are ready for action on many of the supply bills anu those stil1 under consideration arc ie Do stripped of general legislatlve fea- lures that might provoke serious at tack.

 DESCRIBES TRENCH WARFARE

London, February T.-(6:4 p. m.)-A graphic description of trench warfare on the western front is given tJ the British eyewitness" in narrative of Monday s German attacks and British counter-ct- tacks. He says: N .The Germans agein attacked south of La Bassee canal, but not in such strength as on previous occasions. Fighting began early with a successful assault on a small trench close to the canal. Two eounter attacks failed to regain for us the ground lost
 When daylight came, however, oiir ar tillery opened such an accurate fire on he enemy that their position became un- enable. stronger counter-attack then was delivered and our men not only drove the Germans from this trench but seized another post on the enemy's side of 1t on an embankment of the canal. There were a succession of German posts on this embankment and we now had estab- lished ourselves in one of them.

WHAT IS BEHIND THE BROWN BILL IS ASKED THROUGHOUT STATE
Leon Bradley in His Paper Attempts to Explain Reason For Senate's
 Action
ny HIGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery, February 7.--(speciall And what is behind the Brown bill. that remarkable document which would per- init politicians to advertise themselves in daily papers at their own prices. that subtle instrument which is the talk of the state?'
 What is behind ii?
 In the very beginning. everybody save members of the erudite senate gasped when the contents of the meas ure were read. It was considered re- markable that anyone should desire g newspaper which reaches every sec tion of the state to charge no more for it's space than newspaper of influence entirely clrcumscribed or local.
 Of course. when the senate put tie bill oVer-sent it as a matter of fact to it's death in the house--the people gasped again
 And then the question became gen eral: What Is behind 1t all?

London, February 7.-uo:so D. m.)-with the German and Russian Emperors as eyewitnesses the armies of Russia and Germany are still contending for the po- sitions that protect the Polish capital of Warsaw from the invaders. The Rus sian EE has been at Russian head auartsXS several days, and the Ger man announces that the German EHs> ' has joined his generals and has asC g visited troops in the trenches. 8'o mg has been disclosed as to the < ess of the battle which, when last S ,rts were received, was raging with
 nabated fury
 The Russians, according to Saturdays s official statement, had strengthened their positions on the western bank of the Bzura, which they had crossed near it's mouth, and captured another German vantage point. They also captured long line of German trenches near Borjimow which has been the center of most des- perate fighting.

Bradley Offers Explanation

The correspondent of The Age Herald, let it be definitely understood does not know.
 However, Leon C. Bradley, editor of the Tuscaloosa News prints in that paper this morning a remarkable story. That portion of that story which at tempts to explain the raison d'etre of the Brown bill follows.
 'rhe Brown advertising bill was writ ten by, Robinson Brown and 1t was at his request that Senator Brown intro duced 1t in the senate. What is behind this bill? is a question which has been asked and discussed ali over the state. Various reasons have been assigned, some reasonable, sonie unreasonable. 1t has been suggested by some that it Is D. Seed for the governorship. Some con- tend that 1t is to punish the large dalics for their failure to support MT. Seed ln his last race. It will be recalled that Mr. Seed Is the brother-in-law of MT. Brown, and the later is his political manager. To make campaign for state office is expensive. MT. Seed can- vassed Alabama for state treasurer Later he started a campaign for gov ernor and then changed to the lieuten- ant governorship. Only last year., at an expense of thousands of dollars. MT Seed again ran for a state office. the Igoyernorship.
 May Run Again
 That he expects to run again is gen erally reported by his friends If the other candidates for the goVernQrship n purchase advertising space In tue news papers to present their views to the people, MT. Seed might be at a disad- vantage unless he did likewise To buy | $2 an inch space for 50 cents would be l a. great saving, especially to man

Battle in East Prussia

In East Prussia another big battle is developing, the Germans having sent re- Inducements apparently from their Bzura front to that region. In the Carpath- ians. while their right is advancing, the Russians are able only to report that their left has checked the Austro-G German offensive.
 With regard to all this fighting the Ger man official report simply says:
 No essential events have taken place"
 Fighting in the west is a repetition of that of the preceding days. There have been lively artillery duels. and few in- fantry attacks in which both sides claim to have gained some ground
 No further fighting in Egypt is reported. The Turkish account of that which al- ready has occurred there refers to 1t as an encounter of vanguards and adds that the battles are still in progress. This probably is a delayed announcement.

An Italian Report


 The Italian report of the return of Baron Burian. the Austro- Hungarian for eign minister, from his visit to the Ger h ar Efnpeiol, sssys ti,c >Au, stisan ess 2. inet found the results satisfactory. but were not inclined to give Trentino to Italy. and part of Pennsylvania to Rou- mania as the price of continued neutral fly on the part of those countries.
 Turkey has given Italy satisfaction for the Hodeida incident. The British consul has been released and the Italian flag sa- luted.
 English refugees from Constantinople declare the former German cruiser Goeb- en- now owned by Turkey, was so dam aged by striking a Turkish mine that it Will be impossible to repair her at Con- stantinople. This virtual loss of the Goeben reduces the Turkish fleet to A state of inferiority as compared with the Russian Black sea fleet, which is about to be strengthened by new dreadnaught constructed at Sebastopol. It is believed that when this ship joins the fleet Rus sia will attack the Bosphorus and the Black sea. while the allied fleets attempt to force the Dardanelles.
