.FRATERN|z|NG WITH
 RUSSIAN TROOPS IS
 AGAIN ATTEMPTED
AustrO-Germans Make No Headway in Effort to Win BIoodless Victory in
 the East

Petrograd october 12.-Austro-G troops are renewing their attempts to fraternze with the Russians, but so far cording to a statement issued by the Russian war office, based on reports from the front. The general situation is quiet, although some of the armies, as well as some of the Cossack units still act with some suspicion toward the commanding staff. The question of peace is said to agitate the great mass of the Russian soldiers.
 At some places there is agitation against capital punishment but at the same time demands are made that pun ishment in the rear of the fighting front be enforced with greater strictness. The cases where orders are discussed, or not carried out, are comparatively rare, the soldies who refuse to obey orders usually being brought to trial
 The war office announces with regret that the evil influence of the gem darmes and police still asserts itself. So far no measures have been taken to iso- late those clements. Complaints of want of discipline among new recruits are stiii numerous. The authority of the bodies elected by the soldiers themselves is increasing daily. Tho soldiers are re- ported to often express desires for in- structive literature and lectures.

HARDLEY CLAIMS
 THAT HE BOUGHT HIS
 FREEDOM FROM JAIL

Albany, october 12-( Especial .)-That he bought his way out of both the Birmingham city jail and the Jeffer- son county jail is the claim of Walter Hardley, alias Cleveland Wilson. negro murderer, now in the Morgan county jail, where he is being held for safe- keeping. Hardley was convicted in the Cullman county circuit court late last night of the murder of James c. Jones of Hanceville, whom he shot to death when the merchant opened his store one night last August to sell soft drink to a supposed customer. He was sentenced to hang on November 30
 When interviewed at the Morgan county jail taday Hardley declared that he was released from the city jail at Birmingham on the payment of $i0 and the forfeiture of his revolver, al- ready in custody of officers. He said that he was released from the JeHer- son county jail last week for a cash consideration of $39. The negro de. nied specifically that he had imper- sonated another prisoner when called in the Birmingham police court. pleaded guilty and paid his fine, a generally accepted theory as to his escape from the Magic City municipal bastile.
 Hardley has three times escaped from the tolls of the law, the first four years ago just after he had been sent up for 30 years for burglarizing the stores of Williamson & Echols at De- catur and J. A. Buttrey at Albany. He said that this initial burst of freedom was accomplished without cost, as he merely walked off from the Florence stove works, where he had been. leased by the state.
 The negro Is known as one of the most desperate criminals in the state. He had been twice convicted in this county, the second time after he had regained his liberty and returned to his former haunts Under an assumed name he was sent to the county road for violating the prohibition law, and 1t was not known that he was badly wanted until he had served his sentence and been released.
 Last summer Hardley burglarized the store of J. s. Patterson at Falkville and while attempting to board train late at night was arrested as a suspicious character by the train crew and carried to Birmingham and placed in jail. It was after his escape that he killed MT. Jones, and on being arrested and again placed in jail at Birmingham once more found way to regain his liberty. He is being kept under double watch here by Sheriff Forman.
 Walton A.. Hill and Elmer Lloyd, both formerly employed as registered pharm- acists in Twin City drug stores, have been assigned to the medical depart ment of the new national army. accord ing to advices received from Camp Pilse Ark.

SUGAR SUPPLY
SHOULD NOT, HOWEVER, IN
CREASE PRICE, AS MORE THAN
HALF OF SUGAR CONSUMED is
RAISED HERE.

Washington, March 20.-The Cuban
insurrection has reduced the available
supply of sugar for America about
100000 tons, according to an estimate
made by the Domestic Sugar Produc.
ers OF New York, but in spite of this
there will be produced for the Ameri-
can consumer sufficient to meet the
demands. The American consumption
is eighty pounds per capita per year,
the heaviest Of all nations.
According to the producers organi-
cation, there is no need for the public
to be alarmed over the sugar shortage.
neither is there any necessity for an
increase in the price. Americans con
sumo in round numbers 100000 tons
of sugar annually, and more than half
Of this is produced on American soil.
This sugar comes from four main
sources, Louisiana and Texas, Hawaii.
Porto Rico and the sugar beet farms
and factories through the central west.
Only limited amount of cane sugar
is brought from the Philippines. It is

lambert and william orpet.

Lambert and William Orpet.
II you have daughters or sons at
tending high school or public school,
dear madame, it would be worth your
while to pay little more attention
to the telephone calls which your
tchfldren are giving and receiving out
of school hours.
1t will be worth your while to
know where your children go at the
noon hour and the recess hour, and
IL they do not come home directly
from school to know where they have
been and who have been their as
sociates a,
OF vast Importance is 1t for you
to keep in very close sympathy and
touch with your young daughters IL
you live in college town. The aver
age youth who is sent away to coll
iege knows nothing of the sacredness
or the dangers which lie in sex at
traction.
William Orpet, the youth now
awaiting trial for the murder of Mar
ian Lambert, was a freshman sent
away to college by his parents with
out the least instruction on this i'm
portant subject. 1t was his pride and
boast that he could win the conf

any young girl.
Fact That Youth Attends Well Known
College Is Not Character Certificate.
The fact that youth attends some
well known college seems to some
silly mothers and fathers to be con-
sidered a certificate of character.
They do not realize how college boys
under the influence of drink or in
the intoxication of youthful conceit
boast of their successes with girls and
besmirch their names by-frequent ut
terance in public places.
1t is much better for you to be
called a crank and to win the repu-
-tation of over-caution as a mother
than for you to run the risk of ever
occupying the position of Mrs. Lam
bert before the world.
Impress your young daughter, as
this sensible mother has done, that
it is little short of an insult when
any boy or man calls for her over
the telephone and refuses to give his
name to you. Such experiences
cheaper girl, and she should make
1t known to all her boy friends that
she so understands the situation.

COMMON SENSE
MOTHERS BEST
Inquiry About Where Daugh-
ters Spend Spare Time Would
Prevent Many Tragedies
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox


In a college town lives a beautiful
young girl whose mother is gifted
with the unusual asset of common
sense. When the telephone rings Ii
is the mother who answers, and when
masculine voice asks for her daugh-
ter, the mother inquiries who wishes
to speak with her daughter. If the
name is given and the mother knows
the speaker the daughter is allowed
to converse over the telephone in the
mothers presence.
On, at least, a half dozen occa-
sions, the names have been refused,
saying simply, ooh, just tell your
daughter it is friend wishes to speak
with her." But" said the mother,
unless you are willing to give your
name | do not care to have you
speak with my daughter"
On these several occasions the
name has been refused and the
mother very sensibly has hung up
the receiver, greatly to the daughters
amusement, be it said.
Remember, this girl is only fifteen,
and quite possibly, more than prob
ably, the voices of the speakers be-
long to boys not many years her
senior. Nevertheless, the situation
is purely American and indicates on
what free-and-easy lines the average
girl is educated.
Careful Mother Scoffed as Crank and
Considered Very Strict.
This mother has been called a
crank, and her rules are considered
very strict. She is told that among
all the girls acquaintances no other
mother insists upon knowing who is
talking to her daughter over the tele-
phone. Then more is the pity.
In two high schools, not many
miles removed from the little town
wherein this girl resides, tragedies
and scandals have occurred which
have marred the lives of many
young girls. Statistics are in the
writer's possession regarding these
high schools. Statistics SO appalling
that they make one wonder there are
not more cases like that of Marian
