MUCH INTEREST IN
 ABERCROMBIE RACE
Anniston Will Not Be Sur prised if He Runs Against
 BlackmOn

The announcement in The Age-T1erald yesterday morning that Dr. John w. Ab- ercrombie, ongressman-at-1arge was re- turning to Alabama to consider the ad- visibility of offering for Congress from the Fourth district, created intense in- terest in political circles. There have been rumors for several months that Dr. Abercrombie would make the fight from his old home in the fourth, but until the statement of his return was published there had been no indication that he would take that step.
 News from Anniston last night, fol- lowing the arrival of Dr. AbercromD1e, was to the effect that his friends there would not be surprised should he offer for the place. It is pointed out that Dr. Abercrombie. ill the matter of running from a district in which he is not voter would not suffer the same criti- cism that IIobson will doubtless have to meet. Dr. Abercrombie was for many years a resident of Annlsuon, was super inter dent of the public schools there, served that county in the state senate, served as state superintendent of educa- ton while living there, and only left the district to serve as president of the state university. Since retiring from that posi- ton, he has been congressman from the state at large.
 Erie lds of Dr. Abercrombie in Birming- ham Fere keenly interested in the situa- tion and were of the opinion that he would run. For several months there have been reports of opposition over the district to Congressman Fred l.. Black mon, and it is thought that it was the knowledge of this opposition that caused H. M Judge of Columbiana to enter the race. Recently, there have been reports that Mir. Judge had not been able to line up all the opponents of MT. Blackmon, and there has been considerable talk of pr. Abercrombie. Due to some important legislative matters which have been up for consideration in Washington, Con- gressman Abercrombie has not been able to come to Alabama earlier. It is ex- pected that before announcing his deci- sion he will confer with friends in other sections of the district

FRIGHTFUL MASSACRE

Paris, February 7.-(DeIayd. )-"A frightful massacre" is how German soldiers taken prisoner in the battle of Verdun describe the effect of the French artillery, machine gun and rifle fire. But the impetus of the assault ing forces was not diminished thereby during the first four days, because fresh troops were thrown into the bat tie unceasingly
 Advance no matter what the losses may be-" was the order given to the German troops before the at tack. This is verified by documents found on one of the captured off, cers.
 The most critical moment in the six days action was when the Germans gained a footing in the entrenched camp by the capture of Fort Douau- mont. The least hesitation on the part of the defenders would have been dis astrous. The Germans redoubled their efforts to take advantage of any con fusion, but the French immediately be- gan a counter offensive.
 French infantry advanced at double quick to the trumpet charge and leaped at the first ranks of the Germans with irresistible fury. The clash was mur- derous to both sides. The thinned French lines were not to be denied, but went on to the second German WitlEs WAlAC IC1uLOACC W CA v AiNA ried to their support. The German lines wavered first west of Douaumont; then were driven out of the ruins of the fort
 A cry of triumph went up all along the French line and the ardor of the counter attack was redeubled. In the meantime an artillery duel, surpassing in intensity any previous action of the war, added to the carnage.
 The battle now seems to have reached critical point. The assaulting forces have recoiled slightly in the region of Douaumont, leaving the regi- ments which occupied the fort cut off and surrounded by French troops. The attacks upon the French left at Pep per Hill Cote Du Poivre) seemed to have failed completely However, at tacks, made repeatedly with such heavy masses as the Germans are con- stantly bringing up, it is admitted by military authorities. are always like ly to make further gains, providing the officers are willing to pay the price in human life.
 There is no exaggerated optimism to be found in military circles here, but the check of the Germans attack ing in such formidable numbers is re- garded by them as one of the great achievements of the war. and it is generally held that events have taken turn quite favorable to the French arms In the last 24 hours.

anlac Continues to Do Much Good in the City.
 200 Buy It in One Day

Although it has been nearly a year now since Tanlac was first introduced in Nashville the wonderful demand for 1t continues unabated. and thousands of Nashville people are still being bene- fited by it's use.
 On last Saturday alone, two hundred people, by actual count, called at De- Moville's to obtain the medicine and to tell what it had done for them. Among the number was o. B. Hanes, the veteran railway engineer, who. ac- cording to his own statement, has been with the Louisville and Nashville for the past 40 years. Mir. Hanes Is not only well known in railway circles, but is one of Nashvilles oldest and best known citizens. His complete statement follows:
 T have been with the Louisville and Nashville Railway company for 40 years constantly. I ran an engine for 2S years and have been here in the shop for 12 years. I have lived in Nashville for 2S years. l gave up my engine on account 6T getting badly hurt m an accident and have been in bad health ever since.
 T had q surgical operation a little over year ago, and I have not felt like work since. I had a poor appetite and was all run down I suffered great deal from biliousness and con stipation and had to be taking pills and medicines nearly all the time. At night ] would roll and tumble and could not sleep, Sometimes [ would get up in the morning feeling just like 1 hadn't been to bed at all. ~ -A ~s My son was taking Tanlac and he kept after me to try it, and finally l begun on it. I am now on my second bottle only and I tell you feel fine. got on the scales the other day and had gained eight pounds on the first bottle alone. It certainly surprised me. knew I was feeling a lot better. but did not know I had gained so much flesh in so short a time. I tell you Tan lac is fine medicine, Tor I can sleep good now and my appetite is fine. don't have to take any more pills either, since I began taking Tanlac. I will soon be through with my second bottle and I am going to get another as soon as it is out
 II just wish I could tell everybody I know about this medicine and about how much good 1t has done me. It has fixed me up fine. I tell you it is won derful medicine"

HAS BEEN DIsMANTLED

Paris February 27-The fight for the possession of Verdun goes on with in creasing violence multiplying the dead and wounded to a point where the losses have gone beyond the calcu- lators
 It is impossible to verify how many endorsements the Germans have brought up, but the military critics believe that of the 300.000 men that began the attack few will be left at the end of the first fighting
 Verdun, the object of all this sacri- flee, is nothing but "an ancient fort ress," according to authoritative i'm formation, and if the Germans take it they will find it only an empty she'll Fort Douaumont, before which such sacrifice in lives has been made by it's assailants, holds neither cannon nor garrison. It is six months since that the French, putting into practice the lessons of the war showing that fort resses are more vulnerable than field works s'unc1assed" Verdun and all its provisions. arms and munitions as we'll as those in the surrounding forts were sent to the rear.
 Eighty thousand men and several hundred cannon would have been the trophies of a conquest of the place in September 1914
 Today Verdun also is not fortress It has neither cannon nor garrison and has no provisions except for the current needs of the population. The value of the town itself is scarcely more than that of any one of the vil- lages to the north taken by the Ger mans in the last six days since it never was more than military strong hold.
 The attitude of the people and press in France is of calm confidence, which is heightened by pride in the heroic counter attacks the French are mak- ing. Reliance is placed not in Verdun, nor in any other stronghold, but in the army which the Germans must de- stroy before French confidence is shaken.

And how can one, therefore. not feel that the allies are fighting to the death for the soul and purpose and future that are in us, for the defense of every ideal that has most guided Our growth and most assures our unity 2?
