Whats Wrong With Austria ?

A staff correspondent, writing from Rome, makes some surprising state ments reflecting on the morale of the Austrian army. He says that while the rapid advance of the Italian troops since Italy entered the war deserves the highest praise, there are more and more details coming in to show that there is something wrong with Aus tria. On two occasions the Italians are reported to have found documents in which Austrian officers denounced their men for desertion and failure to do their duty. The German speaking Austrians fight savagely, it seems, but the other Austrian nationalities make half hearted foes
 Perhaps the most incredible story relating to the Austrians is contained in letter attributed to an Italian soldier, who writes that he and his comrades started out to find the enemy. They saw a barbed wire net work before some trenches and loop k6fl1~bu no sign of life anywhere. Lookin to the right they at length spied group of men kneeling inn movably. After watching them for awhile the Italian soldiers burst into loud laughter. The supposed soldiers were cardboard dummies. Although some of the trenches were well made, none of them were occupied.
 Another story is to the effect that Germany has threatened to put the entire Austro-H Hungarian empire un- der German military rule. unless Aus

Decided Improvement in Real Estate

Decided Improvement in Real Estate
 The Birmingham real estate situa- ton continues rapidly to improve" re- marked McLin J. Carter a well known realty man. 'and sales, both large and small, are becoming quite numerous.
 The recent decision of the federal court in favor of the Steel corporation those interested in the Birmingham district and the reluctance on the part of the investor has of late been. les sened greatly This decision indeed, may be viewed as the pivot upon which prosperity now swings. There had, of course, been one or two big sales consummated in lands in this vii cinity before this decision was an nounced, but 1t has been only within the last few weeks that the general activity has been noted in real es- state transactions. In my business deals are now coming fast and the outlook for the Immediate future is beginning to look exceedingly bright. It was only a day or so ago that I completed a very important real estate transaction and there are numerous others in view at the present time
 In addition to the decided increase in sales reported, many buildings are now being erected in Birmingham and it's environs and this naturally tends to further improve the real estate sit uation here"

National Politics Quiet

T cannot recall year immediately preceding presidential year when there was so little stir In national pol ities.' said Arnold F. Creighton, mem Der of a democratic club of Chicago
 T have been voter since 1880 and a year before convention time there has usually been much lining up for can didates for nomination.
 There was some talk few months ago of Hughes as the strongest man the republicans could nominate but that has died out. There is no discussion as to the democratic standard bearer be- cause 1t Is generally conceded that Pres ident Wilson will be renominated by exclamation
 The absence of interest in repub ltean circles Is due to the fact no doubt. that international problems have the right of way and are all absorb ing"

world are coming true.
 The advertisements in yesterdays Age Herald of things for sale for a dollar showed the confidence of the merchant in the buying ability of the people. and the business the advertising merchants did yesterday Justified them in their belief It was demonstrated that there is abund- ance of cash money in Birmingham and that when good values are offered if ia re- leased in generous sums
 That 1t pays to advertise when one has the good goods was amply demonstrated. Only the man who would attempt to fool the people In his advertisement fails of results. I admired one speciality shop in Birmingham declining to place an adver- tisement on the grounds that he had sold out all his good stuff and didn't want to fool the people into his place only to see a lot of old picked over stuff That would take its chances of going when he could, by proper advertising, bring the people in to see his new goods next week.

Three deputy sheriffs OF Maui were

news brought back by Deputy Attor,
ney General Leslie Scott He was
sent over by the attorney general at
the jury's special request to assist
that body in, making its investigation
and preparing the true bills. 8,
The names OF the men indicted

generals office today. but 1t is under
stood that one IS, the man against
whom the inauisitors on. the Garden
Island made sensational charges, q
week ago. in partial report to Cir
cult Judge L. a. Dickey.
A peculiar feature Of the affair is
said tesbe that the Indictment against
this one deputy is not based on the
sensational charges made public "a
week ago but on an offense alleged
to, have occurred so many years ago
that it was Houtlawed." and the ac-
cused official cannot be prosecuted
for it. The reason for not indicting
him on the more recent charge, 1t was
said at the attorney generals office
today, is that sufficient matchmaking
evidence could not be found to support
prosecution.
The charges in general against all
those accused are for completely in
smuggling or failure to perform the
due duties OF their office,
