rectly In line with the Overland policy
of giving the consumer the benefit Of
the saving accomplished by the Won

you would get the benefit of your

GOVERNOR WOULD
 VETO MEASURES IF PASSED BEFORE HAND
Small Appropriations Are Granted, But Large Meas ures Depend Upon States Financial Condition
By l.. .. BETTY

Montsomcry. August I3-tspecialo In view of Governor Henderson.s sn- nounced intention to veto ali the large appropriation bills that msy he passed by the legislature before IL has been definitely asccrtaincd what the rev enucs will he during the next four years. the house committee on appro- priations has decided not to report fn- yorably any of the important appro- priation measures until If has con fcrrcd with the governor. or until some estimate has been made of the re- celpts of the government for the prcs- eni administrations.
 The committee made positive announce- ment to this effect late this afternoon following three days session. A large number Of bills carrying small appropria- tions have been acted upon favorably by the committee. but the sum total of these appropriations does not exceed q few thousand dollars. Most of them have been granted for the purpose of paying vari- ous small obligations incurred by the stats during the former administration. Rules Not Yet Acted On But the large appropriation measures. iA the states educational system. have not vet been acted upon by the committees These bi provide appropriations for the public schools of the state, amounting to more than S5C0.000; for the statc university at Tuscaloosa for the Polytechnic inst- ute at Auburn. and for the various nor mal and agricultural schools In all, the educational appropriation bills call for | funds in excess of s ,0o1,00o
 l None of these large appropriation bills will be reported by the house eommittee on apprcpriati aticns until 1t has been ascet tained what the conditions of the treas ury will be during the next four years. The committee is declared to be In thor ough sympathy and accord with the gov ernor in regard to these appropriation measures
 Already Passed Senate
 As is known, most of the educational appropriation bills have already passed the senate. The largest appropriation measure which has passed that body k that donating s5Co,oO0 annually to the pub lie schools of the state Another measure grants sl3i.oo0 annually to the rural schools.
 Other appropriation measures for educa- tional purposes will run the total up to considerably more than $l.o0O,o00 annually. an amount far in excess of the appropria- tion of the former administration. Governor Henderson as already indi- cated in The Age-H Herald. is opposed to approving these bills before 1t has been aseertaihed what the receipts of the state will be for the next four years. He Is in thorough sympathy with every move ment looking to the educational progress of the state but he is unwilling to bank rupt the state for the purpose of attain ing that end.

 Petrograd, August 13.-(Via Lon don, ll:25 D. m.)-The Russian war office tonight admits the evacuation of Sokolow, Siedlce and Lukow, to the east of Warsaw, but claims that the Germans in the region of Riga have been driven back and that near kovno, under the pressure of the Russians, they have abandoned their attack.
 London, August. 13.-GO:20 D. m) Field Marshal yop Hindcnburg has taken personal command of the Ger man army attacking Kevno and. ac- cording to tonight's German official report. has gained new successes against the Russians in that region. The selection of Germnny's national hero for the duty of capturing Koyn". which stands between the Germans and viInn and the Warsnw-Petrograd rail- way. indicates the importance the Ger man general staff attaches te this on eration.
 News that the civilians had commenced to evacuate kovno as well as Wilma had led to the belief in many quarters that the Russians either had decided to give them up or had no hope of hold ing these points Now. however, they are fighting hard to retain both cities and Petrograd claims the Russians have repulsed German attacks, except at one point where desperate artillery en- gagement is in progress
 Von Buelow Held Up
 Farther north between Poniewesch and Dvinskw, where General Won Buelow a week ago was advancing rapidly toward the railway, the Germans apparently have suffered a setback. for the Russians now speak of pressing them and declare they have reoccupied Toviny, considerably west of the point which the Germans had penetrated
 South of Riga also the Germans are said to be doing little more than hold ing their own. so the talAed-of advance toward ePtrograd seems to be developing very slowly.
 on the other nand, the GernlanS coii- tinue to drive the Russians northwest and east of Warsaw. and with the cap ture of Siedce are within short dis tance of the Bug river, one of the main supports of the Brest- Litoysk line, which it was believed the Russians originally intended to hold, but which the German offensive to the northwest may prevent
