STATE EMPLOYE WILL NOT BRING SUIT FOR SALARY
R. w. Manning Heeds Dec laratiOn of Governor That Move Would Injure Vet
 erans and Teachers

Montgomery, october 2L-(Speciai) Declaring that Governor Henderson had said he would be forced to withhold con- tingent appropria tions to Confedera re veterans and public school teachers if the state employees were successful in their suits and that the governor had said blame for any failure in financing the state would be placed on the auditors de partment R. w. Manning. state land agent, Saturday afternoon announced that for the present no suit would be en- tered on the official bond of w. l.. Lan- caster. state treasurer, and that no inn mediate effort would be made to make warrants issued to state employees pre- ferred claims against the treasury.
 MT. Manning said there Was no desire to impede the governor in his efforts to finance the state or to permit him in the event of his inability to finance the state to place the blame upon any de- partment." He said state employees have been assured that certain warrants will be paid in November and that others will be handled soon as possible.
 His statement follows: our sole ob- ject in bringing proceedings against the state treasurer was to protect the many state employees who are dependent on their salaries for support We felt that salaries should be preferred claims against the treasury, as they are in any private business and are so recognized by the courts.
 ..The governor now contends that the states credit will be injured If the em- ployes are successful in their suits and tbat he will be forced to withhold the contingent appropriations from Confed- crate veterans and public school teach ets. While we cannot agree with the governor that the maintenance of our rights by legal proceeding will injure the states credit, we would not for mo- ment consider the doing of anything which might withhold any money from Confederate veterans and public school teachers.
 "The state auditor has been informed by the governor that his department will be held responsible if the suits are en- tered and he is unable to finance the state. The employees do not desire to place any impeachment in the way of the governor in financing the state nor 20 permit him in the event of his inability to finance the state to place the blame upon any department
 we have been assured that some of our salary warrants issued during the summer Will De pald Dy the treasury III November, and that others will be paid as money comes into the treasury. While the burden forced upon us by the pay ment of interest on our own money IS heavy and will become heavier each month, We are willing to bear it awhile in the hope that our interests will be protected by those who are handling the states finances.
 "Therefore I announce that for the ,sf tx-i1I X ho treasurer's bond and no efforts will be made through mandamus proceedings to establish the right of preference in the payment of warrants which we still claim and which, our attorneys advise. may be maintained by legal process"

 known leaders of the colored race in Birmingham, has issued an appeal for cooperation in giving the negro sol diers who leave Birmingham tomorrow morning a suitable send-off. He writes: To the Generous and Patriotic Public:

touched and sailed off proudly, put their pride was brief. An Italian of ficer told the sequel a half hour later.
 ''We saw them coming" he said, "and our batteries opened. A shell struck one machine amidships. The whole structure seemed paralyzed. Then the wooden framework burst into flames. We could see the pilot vain ly trying to disentagle himself. He made a plunge from the wreck and shot down inside our lines, while flaming tatters of the machine trailed after him, like the smoking remnant of a discharged rocket.
 ITALIANS CHEERFUL
 Everywhere there was complete readiness to move batteries and men should the occasion require. The men were in a cheerful, confident mood and eager to reach the scene of the chief engagement. Everything evi- denced the splendid organization ana vast resources of tho army.
 The tremendous concentration or Austrians and Germans point clearly to the decisive advantage the allied artillery could render at this critical juncture The coming war council at Paris Il is considered, will have nom entous decision to make in weigh ing the offensive and defensive possi- bilities of the Italian front in addition to massing men on the western front.

It is clear that the AuStrlanS ana Ger- mans sought to make surprise attack at the least fortified point on the north of the Julian front The field of the present. operations can be likened to a huge letter CT" From the left arm of the "T'' to it's foot is about P miles On this left arm Won Mackensen at tempted to deliver his big blow. The army. extended seven miles westward from Tolmno and the nearby villages of Santa Lucia and Santa Maria have be- como of chief interest, as this was the point of the surprise attack.
 The lower stroke of the ''T'' is 30 miles long, from Monfalcone to tho sea, with Gorizia halfway down. This gave two main fighting lines, the northern run ming horizontal. where the greatest blow was struck, and the southern running perpendicular, where fierce lombard ment seeks to prevent the Italians from moving endorsements to the threat ened region in the north.
 BACK OF NORTHERN LINE
 The Julian Alps run back of the north ern line, and the Carso Alps back of the southern line to the sea. The dis tances stated are in a direct line. The mountains give an irregular formation, greatly extending the opposing fronts
 Field Marshal Won Mackensen's obJec- tive evidently was to recross the Isonzo, whence the Italians had driven the Aus trians back several miles into Austrian territory. He screened the movement by making feints toward to the south and also west of Tolmino, but his main army struck straight for the Isonzo. at Santa Lucia and Santa Maria.
 ITALIAN FORCES SMALL
 The Italian forces were comparatively small at these outermost limits of their lines, and the advancing waves have succeeded in crossing the Isonzo. with comparatively little obstruction here; however, they were faced by a low range of mountains, in which the passes are strongly held by the Italian army.
 The whole operation now pivots on the possibility of Von Mackensen driving through these passes, where the city Of Cividale is the first important place lead- ing to the rich and level plain. All in- dications are that the Italians are masters of the passes and can hold Won Macken- sen against a further advance, although the tremendous force he has massed might permit scattered incursion.
 LAST VISIT OF WINTER
 The correspondent went over long stretch of the front today in company with Headquarters officers. It was the last visit permitted, as the general staff later announced that the dangers had become such that no one would be permitted to approach the fighting line. This visit gave opportunity of comprehensive view of long sweep of the fighting front along the south erly Carso line Everywhere there was evidence of complete preparedness in the midst of the terrific bombardment by both armies. Much havoc had been wrought by this fruitless lombard ment One shell struck 2 building oc- cupied by local command sending up volcano of departmental reports, but not killing anyone. A commander of British batteries showed a large projectile and smilingly said:
