Reports of Fighting Show
Americans Are Stationed
on the Alsace- Lorraine
Front.
Sudden Activity In Pre-
vious Quiet Sector Ac-
counts for German Raid
Wanted to Find Out the
Cause.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, Nov. 5.--The German war
American trenches as along the Rhine
Marine canal indicates that American
artillery is now firing its shells di-
rectly on German territory.
The western battle front crosses the
Rhine Marine canal within easy ar
tillery range of the German boun-
dairy. of Lorraine. BY revealing the
spot where Teutonic raiders found the
American trenches. the kaiser has been
compelled to permit the German peo-
pie to know that Americas first bonn
bardment on the European battle
fields must have caused demolition
pres own soil.
UNDER FIRE FOR WEEK.
The first announcement that Amer
lean artillery had been engaged in ac-
ton in France was made on Oct. 81,
while the date of the German raid on
American trenches was Nov. 8. For
at least a week, therefore, before the
Germans sent patrol to investigate
the sudden activity opposite the Lor-
raine border American guns must
have had German ground under actual
| or potential bombardment.
This is doubtless the reason why
| the Germans took such unusual meas
ures to raid the American trench sec
tor by providing a barrsget artillery
! fire and cutting off the American vic
tins from all possible help during the
| period of the raid. Artillery ammuni-
ton is too precious to Germany to be
| thrown away in this costly manner
often. The damage, however, that
American shells had probably been do
ing on German soil for at least a
I week, makes eXplicable the apparently
reckless expenditure of barrage fire to
assist party of raiders.
LITTLE INFANTRY SUPPORT.
The Germans must be fearful OF
sending raiding parties against the
i American trenches without artillery
/ protection, because of the extreme
/ thinness of the German Lorraine front.
In Flanders, where the greatest fight
! ing intensity is occurring, the Germans
| have four men per yard. All along the
| Lorraine border it has recently been
semi officially estimated they have one
man every two yards. German raid
/ ing parties, therefore, can depend little
on infantry support in returning from
the American trenches, and the raid
ers must have artillery help as IL they
were miniature offensives.

Favors Judge Evans.

The following item, which appear
ed in recent issue of the Birming-
ham Age Herald, will be read with
interest by local friends Of Judge
Evans, who is a native of this city:
81 certainly hope Governor Hen
derson will see fit to appoint Judge
Richard v. Evans as the successor
to Judge Pelham on the court of ap-
peals BENCH" said Horace c. Wilkin-
son yesterday. Judge Evans is a
man peculiarly fitted by tempera-
ment for a judicial position and will
fill the place with honor to himself
and the court just as he did last year
when he filled out the unexpired
term of Judge Thomas.
"Due to the fact that such large
part of the total business Of the SUI
premo court and the court of appeals
originates in Jefferson county, it
seems nothing but right that there
should be at least one man on the
bench Of one of these courts from
this district. At the present time
we have no representative nor have
we had any in many years."

ALL P]sT0FF|CEs ARE TO
Be TAKEN OUT OF POLITICS
POSTMASTERS MUST PASS EX.
AMlNATIONS AFTER APRIL
l--CONGRESSMEN RILED.

Washington, March 10.-Many
Democratic members of Congress are
angry over the announced intention
of the administration to apply the
merit system to all postmasters of
the first, second and third classes,
after April /, by executive order of
the president. They declared the
effect would be to place in office
many Republicans.
Some said the purpose was to
draw Republican support for admins
tration measures in the next House,
whose political complexion was un-
certain. Postmaster Burleson be-
lieved the move was prompted by
reasons of economy and efficiency,
however.
Postmasters now in office will
serve out the fcur-year term for
which they are appointed, but after
April the president will fill each
vacancy by appointment of the man
raking the highest grade in exam
n3to ons which are yet to be arrang-
ed.
Whether the Civil Service Com
mission, under which fourth-class
postmasters are now named, will con-
duct the examination has not been
determined.

STARTLING PICTURE WILL
soon Be seen At PRINCESS
MANAGER E. L. KUYKENDALL
ARRANCES TO SHOW "THE
CRISIS" AT EARLY DATE.

The great Civil War screen drama,
"The Crisis" which has set all the
state agog for the past three months,
is at last coming to Columbus. Man
ager E. L. Kuykendall, the liyest
theatre, manager in East Mississippi,
has at last made arrangements for
an early booking Of this big picture,
being the first picture theatre TO
show this big picture where there has
been regular theatre.
"The Crisis" comes to Columbus
after creating the most startling rec
ords of any production ever sent into
this territory, or any other, for that
matter. It is playing to capacity now
at the Park Theatre in New York
and t~rning away hundreds daily in
indianapolis and several other large
cities.
This powerful romance of that
stormy period in our national history
from go to '65 portrays a vivid pare
4M.aeal hsto with alb olute
tidalitg To The time, and i5aal2es the
south in a glorious manner. 1t was
for this big picture that the entire
State National Guard was mobilized
last spring and sent to Vicksburg for
the thrilling battle scenes, re-enact-
ing "The Siege Of Vicksburg" 1t
will be remembered that many local
boys went, and while there were not
enough from here to make up COM
plete company, those that did go
showed good account of themselves
as appears in the picture.
"The Crisis" is truly great, as one
big newspaper review said recently.
It will be brought to the Princess on
Monday, the 18th, with all the elab-
crate embellishments that character
ize its presentation when it is shown
in the best theatres of the largest
cities. Indeed, "The Crisis" is even
now en- route to the Lyric Theatre
at Memphis for weeks engage
ment.
The picture is presented with a
magnificent symphony orchestra OF
twenty pieces, conducted by Sara B.
Mclean and includes the distin-
guished Senior M. Sandi, former lead
er of the Carranza National Band OF
Mexico City. This musical organiza-
ton has been accorded as one OF the
best ever heard in the south, and the
music alone is worth three times the
admission. In addition, car load
Of properties and effects are carried
to give added realism to the tremen-
dous battle scenes, while the last
word in electrical equipment is pro-
vided for the perfect projection OF
the pictures. Make no other engage
ments for Monday, March 18th. II

WILSON CALLS EXTRA SESSION;
PROVIDES FOR NpM|NG SHIPS
sEGiE TARf DANIELS MAKES
APPEAL TO AMERICAN PRESS
HE WOULD SUPPRESS PUBLIcA.
TiON OF AMERICAN SHIP
PING NEWS.

Washington, March 1O.-Lacking
legal authority to establish general
censorship, the administration has ap.
pealed to the patriotism Of the coun.
try's newspapers and cable compa-
nies to suppress publication of infor-
nation about the movements OF
American merchant craft, now to be
armed against German submarines.
"The best news that readers can
have said Secretary Daniels, sis
that the government will protect the
rights of Americans to the freedom
of the seas.
~ ne publication of details can
serve no good purpose and might
ieopardize human life"
Mr.. Daniels has determined not to
reveal any Of the departments plans
for carrying out the policy ordered
by President Wilson. He previously
has stated, however, that the navy is
prepared to carry out the instruc-
tions.
Navy yard commandants will sup
erviso the actual installation of guns
on NJ erchant craft. The rifles range
from heavy six-inch rifles to three
inch weapons and smaller guns. The
number of guns to go on each ship,
the personnel selected to handle the
guns, the time of sailing or the names
of ships that have been armed, will
not be disclosed.
With the departure of the first
armed American ship it will be nec-
essary for the navy department to
issue instructions to gun crews as to
the manner in which the weapons
are to be employed. In that will be
involved q declaration of policy as to
whether the appearance Of sub
marine in the neighborhood of ship
is sufficient warrant for opening fire.
Contracts for additional guns Of
suitable size are being speeded up.
1t is expected that thew can be COM

craft into naval auxiliaries, # war
