THE SECOND FALL OF FORT vAUX.

THE SECOND FALL OF FORT VAUX.
The evacuation by the Germans of
Fort Vaux on the Verdun front undoubt-
eddy means that the French preponderate
the Germans in armament as well as in
men in that sector and that the kaiser
had neither guns nor men that he could
afford to ieopardize in the defense of
vulnerable position after the fall of Fort
Douaumont further to the westward on
the same front. In the fall of the Dou-
aumont fortress the Germans lost very
heavily, the more so in armament than
In human units, as is now revealed by
the official French statement, the booty
consisting of Is guns, of which five were
of large calibre 81 trench mortars and
IA machine guns, not to mention NUM-
tions and other war equipment. There
by it is shown that the victory of Gen.
Nivelle was even more pronounced than
the early report of the rapid advance of
Oct. 25 made it appear Following that,
The training OF the French guns on the
neighboring fortress of Vaux soon re-
suited in the surrender of that last i'm
portant position on the eastern bank of
the Meuse river. Verdun thus becomes
safe. The French have recovered practi- |
cally all the ground of value taken by
the Germans on the easterly side of the
Mouse in their tremendous offensive of |
last spring, taken it too with a minimum
sacrifice of men as compared with the
vast losses sustained by the Germans in |
their initial efforts to capture it. In this
success the French have displayed not
only the persistency of which the Ger
mans have of late complained but also
he strategy which surely matches that
Of the Germans. The French are continu-
ing to show evidences of military great
ness-both the men and their leaders.

The prospective enlargement of the
activities of the Howe Scale Co. in Rut-
land has tendency to dissolve the fears
that the big concern was to be moved
out of Vermont following its merger with
a western concern. The addition of new
lines of work, necessitating the construc-
ton of more buildings, solidifes the loca-
ton of the business in Rutland. Good!

ENGLAND TO ANSWER
 WASHINGTON PROTEST
Page Hears That Note on Mail Gen. sorship Will Be Made Public
 on Monday

London, July 21.-The foreign office today handed to Walter Hines Page, the American ambassador, a memor- andum replying to specific complaints made against the British mail consor- ship in the recent American note on that subject. The actual reply to the note, however, is not yet in readi- ness.
 Washington, July 21.-Acting Secre- tary Polk announced today that he had made formal inquiry of France and Great Britain as to why no reply had been received to the last American note regarding interference with neu- tral mails andt had asked for a re- sponse at the earliest possible moment.
 At the time MT. Polk had not heard that Ambassador Page had been hand ed memorandum by the British for eign office answering specific com plaints made in the American note. This memorandum will serve to allay the impatience of the state department only partially, however, as officials are most anxious to have a definite reply to the general protest against the treatment accorded mails between the United States and neutral coun- tries of Europe.
 The understanding here is that the French foreign office has sent to Lon don a draft of a note and that dis patch of the joint reply is being de- layed there

LITTLE DAMAGE ID
 ROADS BY FLOODS
State Engineer Keller Graft.
 fled at Reports
GOOD CONSTRUCTION
This Is Given as Reason Highways Hold Up Well-Winkler of Butler Secures Many Endorsements to
 Succeed Bricken as Solicitor

Montgomery, July 21.-(Special)-Ver little damage was done by the recent heavy rains to the well constructed roads and bridges of the state, according to w. S, Keller, state highway engineer During the past few days Engineer Keller has received reports from all sections of Alabama on the amount of damage done to the state-aid roads, and the nforma- ton given him has been most gratify- ing.
 Little damage was done to those roads and bridges that there were well con structed," said MT. Keller. "Of course, considerable damage was done to the average country roads and wooden bridges, for none of these was able to withstand the heavy floods. But all the graveled roads and concrete and steel bridges suffered very little as result of the torrential rains These bridges and roads, where damaged at all, can be repaired at a very small cost"
 According to reports received by MT. Keller from those sections in which there were poorly constructed roads, the dam age to the thoroughfares was consider able. It is said that as many as 30 bridges were destroyed in Barbour county and extensive damage was done to the roads in that county. However, the roads of state-aid construction stood well the heavy rains.

WINKLER INDORSED

Montgomery July 21.-(Special)-State Senator Winkler of Greenville is receiving the indorsement of a large number of citizens and members of the bar of the Second judicial circuit for appointment of solicitor of the district, to succeed Gen. Charles R. Brcken, who resigned to take command of the Alabama militia in mobl- lization camp here. Mir Winkler Is one of the most prominent attorneys of But Ter county, and it is thought he stands an excellent chance of securing the ap- pointment.
 MT. Winkler was one of the administra- ton leaders in the legislature at it's re- cent secession, and was the author of a number of constructive measures. He was one of the most popular members ot the two houses, and he was recognized, both for his ability as lawyer and his keen knowledge of legislative affairs.
 His friends believe he will secure the appointment as solicitor, and are using their greatest efforts toward that end, Among others seeking the place are Frank Stone of Bay Minette and G. O. Dickey of IdlVerne.

passes were being issued to the Neckar but Captain Hinsch invited him back on Monday when another submarine just like the Deutschland will be in
 The stalwart negro guard at the entrance to the Neckar's pier was told that his services would not be needed after today, but that he would be wanted next week when the Bremen arrived
 Norfolk, Va, July 21.-Allied War ships off Cape Henry in anticipation of dash by the Deutschland drew in closer to the three-mile limit today and began the rigid patrol Of the wa ters.
 The names, nationalities and exact number of the ships could not be de- termined. No more than two of them have been seen together at one time, but a persistent report is that a third ship is lying about 30 miles out.
 It is generally believed here that the Deutschland will not make her dash until the weather becomes more un- settled, and this may delay her de- parture several days.

CHILD LABOR SUBJECT
 INJECTED IN DEBATE
Hardwick of Georgia Says Republicans Are Playing Politics With
 Great Measure

Washington, July 21.-Discusson of the child labor bill, which President Wilson Is urging for passage before Congress adjourns, was injected into the debate or the naval bill today and an unsuccess- ful effort was made to secure a unani- nous consent agreement to take up the measure as soon as the appropriation bills are passed.
 Senator Hardwick, who is opposed to the proposed legislation, began the discus sion by charging that it evidently was the purpose of the republicans of the Senate Ito play party politics with this great measure calling attention to the statement made yesterday by Minority Leader Gallinger, that republican sena- tors were anious for early passage of the child labor bill
 "I had no such purpose" replied Sen ator Gallinger. q made the statement because the people of the country want the bill passed
 Senator Hardwick declared the measure was unconstitutional and recalled that Senator Gallinger had said so last Feb ruary. The New Hampshire senator said that he still had doubt about it's constitu- uonality but was willing to vote for it and leave that question to the courts.
 There has been a great deal of change Of mind about the constitutionality of this bill,'' said Senator Borah "The leader of the GeorgiA senator's own party has changed his mind on that Who is that? asked Senator Hardwick, arousing laughter from his colleagues.
 The President of the United States" Senator Borah replied "In one of his books, Woodrow Wilson said such legis- lation was unconstitutional"
 Well, his book was right" Senator Hardwick asserted
 Senator Borah then tried to get a unan- imous consent agreement for considera- ton Of the bill, with debate limited to P hours for each side, but the effort was blocked by Senator Swanson, who in- sisted on proceeding with the naval bill.
