Brief Announcement From French Ministry of Ma rine Gives News to World. Had 4000 on Board FRENCH TROOPS ARE REPAIRING POINTS
 HELD BY GERMANS
Heights of Douaumont Re- gained-British Reoccupy Egyptian TOwn-Russians Storm Bitlis

Paris, March 3.-It was announced at the French ministry of marine to- day that there were nearly 1000 men on board the French auxiliary cruiser Provence when she was sunk in tho Mediterranean on February 26.
 It was stated that on board the Provence were the staff of the Third colonial infantry regiment, the Third battalion, the Second company of the First battalion. the Second machine gun company and one extra company. in all nearly 4000 men
 BUT S7O SAVED
 As the ministry of marine on Feb ruary 29 announced that the number of survivors of the Provence disaster was estimated at S7o it is indicated by the foregoing dispatch that upward of 3130 lives were lost.
 The loss of more than. 5000 lives in the sinking of the French auxiliary cruiser Provence is the greatest ocean disaster of modern times Up to the
 
 ever lost in one wreck was when the White Star liner Titanic struck an ice- berg off the Newfoundland banks on April 14, 1912. and sank with a death TAB.
 The French ninistry@of marine had previously issued no statement as to the number of persons on tho Pro- vence when she went down. The ves- se1, however, when in the transatlantic service could carry 1860 persons in- cluding the crew, and it has been pre- stunned that. as she was transporting troops between ports not far apart, she was carrying number of men larger than her normal capacity.
 The official statement announcing the sinking of the Provence said
 ORIGINAL STATEMENT

Two hundred and ninety-six survivors have been brought to Malta, and about 400 to Melos by French and British patrol vessels summoned by wireless.
 "No signs of submarine were mo- ticed either before or after the sink ing. La Provence was armed with five cannon of 14 centimeters, two of 57 millimetres and four of 47 millime- tres.'

Washington, March 3-(Speeial.) )-Mem- bers of Congress are so certain in their conviction that R. P. Hobson would not dodge a just fight however unpropitious it's ultimate outcome might be, that, in the hope of making their position more secure, they are carefully analyzing the result of recent elections in Alabama.
 The figures prove that the counties of the Sixth, in one of which for years the captain has had his legal residence, have given unmistakable proof of a lack of Hobsonesque affection. while the coun- ties of the Tenth, among which the cap tain has jumped. have proved to be pos .sessed of an entirely different inclina- tion.
 It is also proved that Hobson has left more oI his" people behind him in the Sixth than he went to meet when he plunged into the new district.

How Catarrh Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so
Ihoughtless as TO neglect the
colds which their children con-
tract. The inflammation of the
mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that
may prove a life's burden. Many
persons who have this loathsome
uisease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time 1t

bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy judiciously used, and all
this trouble might have been

One member Of Council thinks that
Smyrna might spend 81. 500 on its
streets this year. Yes SIS. 900, and
more. would he money we'll spent. We
advocate permanent streets all the
time. There is not a citizen who does
not see that the money put on brick
Main street. was money not wasted.
Council never even sold bonds to cover
the $50. 600 improvement. but COun-
cilmen individually went on a joint
note in bank TO pay for it Now
they have it all paid off except So. =
600. Why the hurry to pay for such
Improvements. Smyrna is likely to
remain on this mundane sphere for
years and years. yes centuries to
come Why rot bond the town and
let coming generations share in per-
manent work.? Commerce street
should at least be bricked from East
street to Delaware street.-the bust
mes section. And the rest of the
street to the depot and all the other
streets might be built of a permanent
material. the curb lines Strengthened
and the town much improved. Money
not spent in making permanent street:
is money wasted. Good streets. and gooC
roads are valuable asset to any town,
County or State and Smyrna nigh
as we'll be at the head of the process
sion in this respect.
