ALABAMA HAS AN ARMY.

ALAoAmA TAO AN hHWI.
Alabama has quite an army-three
regiments OF infantry one regiment of
cavalry. one battery of artillery and
the signal corps. They are very pop
ular with both the regulars and with
the other militia.
l can't explain what this military
training puts into a man, but he be-
comes bronzed and lean and rugged;
vitality alive in every inch of his body;
with self reliant courage written all
over him. and when he is on the
streets he looks so spick and span with
his shining shoes and tight leggings
that his mother must be proud of him.
Universal military training would put
pep and discipline into the American
boy that, certainly would be worth the
price.
WARNING is ISSUED.
We have been warned against walk
ing up the street that forms the In
ternational Boundary, for fear Ono
body knows what. Yesterday the guards
on Titcomb hill (the lookout station)
saw the Mexicans execute two Of their
men. They march them up to an open
trench, step back and shoot the pris-
oner whose body falls into the trench
If it don't. the firing squad comes up
and kicks it in and covers it up. This
is almost daily occurrence. What
the trouble is we do not know.
The MeXlcans nave a line of trenches
made all along the top of the. hills OPP
posite the International Boundary. Five
new lines of trenches were discovered
through the glasses yesterday. Just
across the street that forms the bound
airy is Il restaurant where you get the
best food in this section at reasonable
prices. An American citizen took us
across one evening and another time
we went alone. We were told never to
go without a man again, and that we
had better not go at all. AS it is right
in sight o' the boundary guard, l can
not see the point. They say it is not
because we would be attacked, but be-
cause the Mexicans have so much
trouble among themselves that 1t is
liable to break out at any time and if
it did we would be in mess.

there is nothing like so much as to
go across or to go up to the Titcomb

GERMAN PEACE PLANS
Would Placate France. Prussia and
Japan in Order to Fight Eng
land Alone

Paris. Jan. S--A radical change in
the German strategy has already be-
gun to take effect in the Balkans
The change is indicated by reports
reaching Paris from Switzerland
which are credited in many quarters
here.
Prince Hohenlohe, Disgusting his
identity with the title Count Kraft"
is the kaiser's chief commissioner with
Prince Won Buelow in Switzerland.
They are working for a separate
peace with France and Russia, which
would leave Germany's hands free to
combat Great Britain's steadily grow
ing military strength.
Prince Hohenlohe recently told 4
Swiss friend, according to these Swiss
reports, that his emperor's plans were
now bent in u direction totally diff
ferent than those toward which he
had looked in the beginning Of the
war. He believes that the deadlock on
the western front is complete, and has
finally acknowledged that what his
army could not do in 1915 against
France it is unlikely to do in 1916.
The sporadic activity making the
turn of the year was merely the re-
suit of orders he had issued to his
generals to test the present strength
of the French British. Nowhere could
Il weak spot be found---a fact which
caused the kaiser no surprise.
AS regards the eastern front, plans
for renewed ant-Russian offensive
early in the spring have been dropped
because, with the dwindling of ef-
fectives opposing Russia's swelling
manpower. Germany's chances of Il
decisive triumph are not great enough
to Justify the carnage new onslaught
against the Muscovites would bring.
London, JAM, S--Count Okuma.
japanese premier. told intcrviewers
that Germany has made overtures to
both Japan and Russia for separate
peace. but that they have been re-
jected, the Tokyo correspondent OF d
news agency reportes.
Count Okuma attributed Germany's
desire for peace with Japan and Rus
sia to acute financial difficulties.

STUBBORN FIGHTING
development of the Kaiser's Hosts
at Pinsk the Possible Objective Of
the Muscovites

London, Jan. o.-flerce hgntlng on
2O-mile front along the bond OF
the River Styr is reported in dispatch
es from both Pctrograd and Vienna
today.
The Russians are assailing the Aus
trian lines fifty miles east of the
important railway town of Kovel OBJ
jective of the offensive in Volhynia.
Pctrograd reported today that. after
capturing the town of CZartorysk
the Slavs pressed on and captured a
range of hills west of the town. They
are now assailing the main heights
barring the advance on kovel.
The fighting in this region has
temporarily detracted attention from
the struggle northeast of Czernowitz
and along the Tarnopol-Trembowa
line. where nearly million men with
several thousand guns are reported
to be engaged.
This is true mainly because the
possibilities of an important military
success are greater in the offensive
cast of Kovel than at any other point
in the struggle.
Capture of Kovel by the Russians
would cut the railway supplying the
Austro-G Germans in the fortresses OF
LUX and Dubno, and threaten the
development Of the Germans around
Pinsk.
Z AT -:Rafalovkn ard Kolki, the eX-
treme ends of the battle front along
the styr and west o. Czarterysls, in
the center, and the heaviest fighting
is proceeding. Vienna advices today
admit the ferocity Of the Russian at
tacks, but declares that in each IN
stance where the Saws made gains
the lost ground was later rccaptured
No early decisive successes for the
new Slav offensive is expected here,
the strength of the Austro-German
defenses being well known. 1t is con-
;sidered likely, however, that a con:
tinuation of the heavy Russian attacks
will delay the beginning Of an Austro-
Bulgarian-G German invasion of Greece
by preventing the transfer of troops
from the Russian front -
Some idea of the determined ma
ture of the Russian blow on the Bes-
sarabian front is conveyed by Petro-
grad dispatches, which. state that the
Russians for fifty hours concentrated
400 guns ,on the Austrians positions
at; Czernowitz. as a; preparation for
an infantry attack. The Russian conf
munications do not yet say Czerno-
WITT has fallen, but dispatches from
German sources admit their position
there is critical. z ::
All Of the Russian operations thus
far rev called. are being presseasalong
the railway lines, which simplify the
problems of the winter supply Of food
ammunition and fuel.

Washington, Jan. S.-Virginia will
present the name of former Governor
Andrew Jackson Montague, now Il
Representative in Congress from the
Richmond district, to President Will
son for appointment to the Lamar
vacancy on the Supreme Court of the
United States.
This fact became known yesterday
when the White House gave out Il
telegram received from Gov Henry
C.. Stuart, of Virginia asking the
President to receive Il delegation Of
Virginians in behalf Of Governor
Montague. AS the telegram came
late in the evening, no date was set
for the Virginians to call, but it
is understood Il time will be fixed to-
day. SO far as can be learned in
Washington, Governor Stuart will
head the delegation. Other members
of it will include ttorney-General
John Garland Pollard, Representative
Carter Glass. and Wyndham R. Mere

whose name has been suggested for
the judicial honor. it was learned to-
day. has asked his friends not to
advance him for the post. Mr..
Marbury, it is said desires to indorse
Governor Montague.
Every day brings forth a new name
for the Supreme Court vacancy No
less than 4 dozen prominent jurists
and lawyers have been mentioned for
the appointment. President Wilson
has not intimated to any of his call
ers the name Of the man he may have
in mind to elevate to the high Judicial
position. While former President
Taft is being urged by friends from
every section of the country. there
is a feeling in Washington that he
will not be selected because two
thirds of the court are Republicans.
At present there are six Republicans
two Democrats and one vacancy on
the court.
President Taft declined to appoint
men of Republican faith five years
ago because of the preponderance Of
Republicans on the Supreme Bench.

late Justice Lurton, another Demo
