Exchange Telegraph Company from
Amsterdam says: Reports from vi
emma say that the American note on.
corning the sinking of the Italian
steamer Ancona has caused intense
anger in the Austrian government and
a diplomatic rupture is considered
probable. The question before Baron
Burian, the Austro-H Hungarian foreign
minister, is only whether a rupture
with the United States would not
force Berlin to a like step.
Count Tisza, the Hungarian pre-
mier, has been summoned to Vienna

London.-The British and French
troops have successfully carried gu
their retirement from Serbia across
the Greek frontier, and by an arrange

clear road has been left for them to

organized as a base. The German OF.

men, were annihilated" during the re

an exaggeration.

not be worked in any other mines. The Davis amendment provided that no con vict could be required to work more than 10 hours per day.
 The theory of MT Rogers is that if the state works the mines of the uni versity, the state and the university will both become rich. He argues that the state, in the first place would not be compelled to pay for labor, and on ac- count of constitutional inhibitions, would not be compelled to defend damage suits or pay damages in the event of accident or death befalling any miner. These ad- vantages, together with that resulting from extraordinarily cheap freight rates over the Warrior river, would result, he believes, in great wealth for the state and the institution. An interesting feature of his bill would deny the state the right further to appropriate in favor of the university after royalties paid by the state to the institution amounted to s100,- GOO per annum.
 The bill will probably pass the senate, and inasmuch as if gives the governor the right to act or withhold action as he deems proper. 1t is regarded as probable that the governor will sign the measure. similar bill was introduced sometime ago by Senator Lusk This bill would re- quire the state to lease the coal mines of the university. It's enactment is regarded as highly improbable.

 Stefansson told Captain Cottle that after leaving the supporting part on the ice north of Martin Point, he and his hardy companions set their faces to the north but after continuing their journey 90 days they decided to return to land They turned back and landed on the main- land at point near which the powerboat Mary Sachs of the Stefansson expedi- ton was wintering.

TRADING STAMPS AND COUPONS GIVEN BLOW
 BY NEW REVENUE BILL
High State and County Licenses Promise to Stop All Trading Stamp Business In Alabama and Do Away With Redeemable Coupons With Cigar cites and Tobacco

Montgomery. September 17-(Spe- cfal)-COmpanies which in the past have secured trade in Alabama by giv- tng with purchases stamps and cer- tfffcates redeemable in gifts of vnIue lave been seriously Injured. it is claimed, by two sections of the license buI.
 It is regarded as probable that the amount of money which they will be Forced to pay in return for the priv alege of doing business. in addition to the tedious red tape" with the unrav- cling of which they are burdened, will tempt them to retire from the Alabam ma Held. In that event the game of re- ueeming trading stamps and cigarette Certificates in which a great many peo- pie in recent years have indulged with so much interest and amusement, will be termina ted-brought to a full stop.
 Section Ill of the license bill re- qufres all companies disposing of trad Ing stamps, green and brown, and all companies offering with purchases cer- tificates redeemable. in gifts of value, to pay into the state treasury by Jan- nary 15. 1916. 5000; and, in addition, 10 make suitable bond guaranteeing that on the last day of the year they

will make statement under oath re- garding the amount of their business with the provision that if the 5000 which will have been paid into the treasury is less than 3 per cent of their gross business an additional sum will be paid.
 Subsection of section 117 provides that for the benefit of the several counties of the state all companies en- gazing in business of any nature in Alabama will pay sum equivalent to one-half that paid to the state. It is seen. therefore, that stamp and cer- tificate companies. in addition to the payment of 5000 per annum to the state, will be compelled also to pr $500 to each of the counties into WI 0 their business has been extended.
 Companies doing business in
 county of the state will, in additiS the 5000 demanded of each of tH by the state. pay for the benefit H the counties about $34,O00. It is re- garded as certain, therefore that at least cigarette and tobacco companies enclosing in packages certificates will be forced to amend their present and previous mode of business procedure Up to the present time it is believed the companies affected have been given no inkling of that which has been done to" them, and 1t Is antici- pated that in the near future they will emit a howl which will disturb those sleeping in the stilly hours of the night.

V0N H|NDENBURG
 DRIVES WEDGE INTO
 RUSSIAN DEFENSE
German Army We'll Astride of Dvinsk-Vilna Railway. Conscription May Cause
 English Cabinet Crisis

London, September 17-(9:55 D. m)-Von Hindenburg's army now is well astride the Dvinsk-vilna railway. His advance guards have reached and occupied the town of Vidzy, two miles east of the line.
 This wedge, the German commander ha s driven into Russias defense. seriously endangers both Dvinsk and Wilma The latter town, which the Russians once be- fore evacuated, again has been left to an army which will attempt only to delay the German advance.
 All government institutions and most of the factories already have been re- moved and the civil population left long ago. Probably a more determined eff fort will be made to hold Dvinsk which, situated on the broad and fast flowing Dvina, can offer stronger resistance.
 Along the rest of the ca stern front there has been little change in the situation.
 The German center has made a fur ther slight advance and must be near ing the railway east of Pinsk, possession of which would separate the northern and southern wings of the Russian armies operating on either side of the Pripet marshes. The Russians have affected to disregard such a contingency however. claiming the two armies can operate in- dependently and consequently continue their offensive from a point east of Ko- vel through Galicia to the Roumanian frontier.
 The great effort to hold the present line in Galicla doubtless is dictated by near eastern politics, which grow more complicated. Roumania alone appears to be definitely on the side of the quad ruple entente. Greece apparently has de- cided to maintain her neutrality. for the time being at any rate.
 Meanwhile the allied troops on the Gal lpoli peninsula are taking long rest.

Little Damage Has Been Done to Public Works and FOrtificatiOns-Private

London, September 17.-(S:50 D. m.)-An official description of some of the effects of the last Zeppelin raid on the Lon don district. written by an impartial ob- server at the request of the home sec retary, Sir John Simon. and issued to- night for publication. reads: While 1t is absolutely necessary in the interest of public safety to maintain the rule that no unauthorized account shall appear. the real character of the out rages will be better understood from the spot and vouched for by the authori- ties as accurate. The home secretary takes this opportunity of stating explicit ly that the total casualties resulting from these air raids have been correctly sta ted in all cases. The information is based upon an exhaustive inquiry by the po- lice.

 MT. Churchill added that during the past four or five months the allies had not uOHe dS well dS they ulBnt nave nOpeu There had been events which, while not disastrous, were disappointments.

 Then there had come the retreat of the Russians, and while the Russians were rearming and recovering their strength, new and unmistakable bur den had fallen upon Great Britain. The situation was a very serious one. but the allies had 1t in their power to carry the war to a successful conclusion, and they could do 1t. the chancellor said. if they utilized their whole strength and the na- tional capacity.
