RIISSIAN DRIYE DEYELOPS

An offensive that is gaining increasing attention is the Russian drive in the Cau- casus. where Grand Duke Nicholas is re- ported to be leading the troops. Accord ing to an announcement from Constanti- nople. the Turks have been forced to re- tire several miles along an extended front by the furious attacks of the Russians.
 The Slavs are operating in concert with the British force along the Tigris and their own army in Persia. There is little to report along the other fronts. The Russians have not as yet re- newed the offensive, which has recently been so hotly pressed in Galicia and Bes- sara bia. There was only artillery actions in Flanders.
 The Turks report that the value of the booty gathered on the Gallipoli peninsula after it's evacuation by the entente forces amounted to s10.000,000.
 Vienna reports that trenches captured from the Italians along the Oslavia sec tor on the Italian front were evacuated by them on account of the concentrated fire of the Italian artillery.

Leaves Montgomery for His Home at Troy
 to Vote
HAS FOLLOWED THE
 CAMPAIGN CLOSELY
While Brief, It Has Been Fruitful. Men of Every Faction in the State Participated, Owing to Non
 political Nature
By l.. 6. BETTY

Montgomery, January T7.-(Special.) ) Governor Henderson is confident that the voters of Alabama tomorrow will author issuance of $1, ,50O,000 of bonds to pay a part of the states floating indebtedness. The governor expressed this belief just before leaving today for his home in Troy, where he will vote at tomorrow's eec- ton.
 For the past few months the governor has kept in close touch with the progress of the bond issue campaign in the va rious counties, and no man in the state is more competent than he to speak of cording to the governor, he has received sufficient assurances from leaders in the counties to warrant the positive belief that the bond issue will carry Hence. he left for Troy with absolutely no fore bodings as to the result of the election but with confidence that the electora te of the state will stand with him on the proposition of cancening the states debt by means of bonds
 In the opinion of the governor, no pos sible argument can be used against the bond issue. In every conceivable way he the cause before the voters of the state. He has laid before them the appalling facts with reference to the treasury; he has told them of the hardships which may result if the bond issue is not au- thorized, and he has shown them the means by which the $1 ,5OO, QUO may be paid within period of 10 years

News of the disappearance of B. Tay- Tor Smith was a great shock to his friends in Birmingham who were in formed of the tragedy last night. Mr. Smith was secretary and general manager of the Peoples Homestead com pany and of the Dixie Realty company and occupied offices with T. A. Weller in the First National bank building. The Peoples Homestead company is in- terested in Ironda1e development while State Senator w. C. Crumpton, who died in Evergreen about three months ago. was president of the Dixie Realty com pany.
 MT. Smith resided with J. F. Graham, at 1905 South Twenty first street. His
 wife is at present visiting her sister in
 Zanesville, O. Mir Graham was par
 ticularly shocked when he learned of
 the tragedy.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-18
WELLER GRIEVED

T. A. Weller returned from a month spent in Virginia yesterday and could hardly believe the news about MT. Smith. "He was a fine man." he said T wish there were something we could do about recovering the body or getting more definite information about how the tragedy occurred. I knew him in- timately and he had on several occa- sions mentioned that he sometimes had attacks of vertigo"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-18
NOT DONE WILFULLY

q am confident MT Smith did not end his life wilfully," he said. 'He re- gently had a spell of grippe and was subject to kind of vertigo or swim ming in the head. About two weeks ago he went down to Bayou la Batre to recuperate. Meantime Mrs. Smith, one of the finest ladies l have ever known, had gone to visit her sister
 q had a letter from MT Smith a week ago in which he said he thought he was improved and that he would re turn to Birmingham about the 18th He said he was going by Pensacola and might get some mail there which would call him to Tampa for a day two, but that he would be here certainly by the 20th.
 If he met his death in the gulf, I am confident he fell overheard when seized with one of those attacks. He was not a man who would wilfully end his life.
 He was a great reader, sitting up un- til midnight nearly every night read ing, and l do not suppose there was ever a day passed that he did not go to the public library. He was about 60 years old. This news will be an overwhelm- ing shock to his wife"

BRIEF. CAMPAIGN WAGED

The campaign that has been waged in behalf of the bond issue, while brief, has been a fruitful one. Owing to it's nonpolitical nature, men of every fac tion, party and interest in Alabama have rallied to the support of the cause. As a matter of fact the lead ing men of the state have espoused the cause of the bond issue and though in many instances not administration men, have fought shoulder to shoulder with the governor in his efforts to secure the ratification of the consti- tutional amendment.
 If the bond issue fails to carry it is impossible to tell what the results will be. It is certain that times will be no better, and it is equally certain that times will be worse, in so far as the people of the state will be con oerned. The delay the teachers and public officials may experience in re- ceiving their salaries may be but a small part of the hardships to be en- dured by the state at large.
 This the governor knows and every official knows, hence they cannot un- | derstand why, if the voters of the state are acquainted with the condition of the treasury, there should be any seri- GUS opposition to the bond issue.
 SUCCESS DOUBTFUL
 Yet, notwithstanding the governors 8 confidence in the result of tomorrow S election, it is by no means certain that the bond issue will carry. In the opinion of most people at the capitol-all of whom will vote on the side of the administra- tion-the bond issue has only a slim chance of success, with the preponder- ance of belief to the effect that the oppo- sition will win.
 However, as indicated in a previous article in The Age-Herald, it is impos- sible to forecast what the result shall be. The majority of the city vote, it is be- lieved. will be for the bond issue: the majority of the country vote will be against the bond issue If, for any req son, there should be a small country vote. then there is bare chance that the bond issue will carry. A large coun- try vote will defeat the bond issue.
 Officials at the capitol are anxiously awaiting the result of the election Many capitol employees have gone home to vote and they will spend the day at the polls Those remaining in Montgomery today used what eleventh hour methods were at hand to stimulate interest in behalf of the bond issue.
 If the election is close, it may be sev- eral days before the result is known, for there is always difficulty in securing re- turns from certain of the rural counties. However, it is believed that enough re- turns will be in by tomorrow night to show what the result will be, and Of ficials are awaiting the close of the polls with anxious and grave concern.

Born in Mormonism. his mother be.
ing a plural wife, Hans +. Freeze. who
lectures on the second afternoon of
the Chautauqua, is particularly quail,
fed to speak on the interesting sub
ject The Inside of Mormonism. Mr..
Freeze has been fighting Mormonism
for years because, as he says, cit broke
my mothers heart"
Joseph f. Smith, present leader of
the church, is today living openly in
Salt Lake City with five wives, in vio-
latiOn OF the law. and the same is true
of many other leaders Of the Mormon
church." says Mr.. Freeze. THE Nor
mons boast that the reason 1t is prac-
tically impossible to get legislation
against them is because the CHURCH Is
SO wealthy and all its members vote
as directed by the Mormon prophet,
Joseph #. Smith, who is the president
Of twelve corporations and director
in fourteen others, among them the
Union Pacific Railroad"
Mr.. Freeze will show that Mormon
ism and the practice of polygamy are
on the increase in the United States.
He IS regarded as an authority on Nor
mOnism and has spoken in all parts of
this country, as well as abroad.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1916-07-21

Some time ago reference was made
in this paper to the fact that two young
girls had been observed in an effort at
making the acquaintance of two strange
young men on the street, and the dan
gers that attend such conduct was
briefly commented upon. The fact that
this comment was not unwarranted was
demonstrated within the past week
when one of these young girls ran away
to Flint and only the complaint of her
mother and prompt activity of Flint and
local police saved her from the posi-
biity of damaging and serious as
sault. OF the causes that may have
contributed to this young girls delin-
quency we know little, but we do know
that she is nothing but child and has
no more comprehension of the sordid
ways and cruelties of the great world
than babe. In one way or another
boys and girls sometimes get the idea
that there is pleasure in wrong doing,
or that it affords escape from poverty
and honest labor, or that one can do
wrong and escape the consequences,
Nothing is further from the truth. The
girl, especially, who in anywise COM
promises her character, stands upon
the very threshold of miseries unfath-
enable. Degradation, disease, squalor,
and shameful death are staring her
in the face right from the start of her
downward career, and if she could take
counsel of the police departments, the
hospitals and the coroners of our great
cities she would find that the beginning
and the end of such life come very
close together. 1t is the same way
with boys. only through force of unjust
social customs their shame is not so
swiftly apparent. But in paying the
penalty the unvarying laws of nature
hold good. Through the compilation of
vital statistics we know that consid-
cradle per centage of young men be-
come diseased through vice, and
through the same unerring authority
we know that after few years at best
they fall sure victims to some one of
possibly dozen different diseases that
supervene upon the original cause.
Their vigor is spent and they go to the
human junk heap as invalids, lunatics
or senile dependents long before their
time. 1t is true that life sometimes
seems hard and prosaic, especially to
the young, but no tabled siren ever
lured victims to the land of skulls with
more diabolic subtlety and certainty
than does vice which cloaks its hideous
form in the garb of pleasure.
