PRINCE AND COUNT
HOLD CONFLAR
CROWN PRINCE SEEKS kcy!CE or
SUBMARINE ADVOCATE IN
HOTEL MEET.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 1.-THE Ger
man crown prince recently had a
long conference with Count Won Bue
low, the former imperial chancellor, at
the princes Berlin hotel All the
Berlin newspapers make note of the
conversation and some comment on
the crown princes candidacy for his
old post as being a noteworthy event
Undoubtedly it is :; little too early
to regard the crown price, whose
visit to Berlin was accounted for by
the Christening of his youngest daught-
er, as again attempting to play the role
of overthorwer of chancellors. Count
Won Buelow is believed to be in ac
cord with the crown prince regarding
Germany's political and war objectives
While Chancellor Won Hertling is the
exponent of policy to which the
crown prince is opposed.

HOLD
On TENACIOUSLy
Cohesive Fighting Sustains En-
tire Italian Line on
Long Front.
EARLY HISTORY RECALLED
Wonderful Resistance of italian
Armies, Attracts the Attention
of Entire World to Southeast
ern Theater of War.
lsy Associated Press.l

Te Italian front still presents the
only scene in the worlds theater of
war where intensive fighting is in
progress
Stimulated by the encouragement
afforded by the United States and
the great effort of England and France
to rush all available assistance. which
they believe will reach them at any
moment, the Italians are fighting with
4 desperation never before known in
their history. Only the classic vic
tories of early modern history can
compare with the vaior of the de.
scendents of the Old Roman empire.
More terrible however is the foe
which the sons of noble warriors are
meeting today in the bloodthirsty
Huns who would sweep them from
existence, destroy their palaces. burn
their art treasures and pillage their
ornamental gold
Their line. whicA extends from the
beautiful Garta lagoon to the Adriatic
sea, has become stiffened with a new
power of strength and nowhere have
the Teutonic allies been able to pen
citrate for any great distance. All the
attacks of the invaders have met only
with the most fierce resistance and
their ultimate repulse seems certain
at this sucture of the battle.

EX-M|N|STER IS
PLACED ON TRIAL
INSANITY PLEA is ENTERED BY
MINISTER CHARGED WITH
MURDER.

RUSSELLVILLl, Ala, Nov. 10
The Rev. J. r. Terry, former pastor OF
the Russellville Methodist church and
active in Alabama MethodisM for
several years, was to be placed on
trial here today for the killing OF
DR.. T. NJ Hughes, whose lifeless body
was found lying beside a road near
here on October 8, within short dis
tance of Terry, who himself was in
a serious condition as the result OF
two bullet wounds.
The authorities thus far have been
unable to learn whether Terry shot
himself after DR.. Hughes was killed
or whether he received the wounds in
a duel with the physician. The men
had left here apparently for hunt
ing trip and so far as has been learn
ed the trouble developed after they
reached the country. The minister
has thus far refused to discuss the
affair
Terry's defense will be insanity.

Miss Arliss being of high order, and
the act as presented making a pleas

a most acceptable manner, and makes
a hit. Jack Walters and the Cliff Sis

Want Old Papers
and Paraffin For
Ration Heaters

The public library is using its old
papers for making ration heaters FOR
the French and Italian armies. The
papers are rolled and pasted, boiled for
short time in paraffin, and when
cool will burn from half an hour to an
hour.
In Italy one and one-half million a
day are furnished Italian soldiers
which in many places in the noun
tains lis the only way soldiers may
have hot food. Three heaters will boil
a cup of coffee in three minutes and
soup in ten minutes. The heat Is In
tense and the heaters burn without
smoke,
The library mas many old papers,
and will be glad to have others
brought in. Also, ends of candles and
pieces of paraffln will be very accept
able. and will make the cost of max
ing a very small affair.
