UT state any other indisputable fact But squaWking is complaining and complain ing IS something that an old soldier will not tolerate. A soldiers life is hard
 enough at best. without having it made harder by the incessant complaints of the
 weak spirited and the faint hearted.
 ACCUSTOMED TO CHANGE
 And so our few days of cold weather.
 although they were in sharp contrast to
 the sweltering heat that we left in Ala
 pama, called forth practically no squaWking. The men felt the change
 keenly at first. but soon grew accus-
 toned to it. They now recognize one
 benefit in the touch of cold; it will do much to prepare us for that of France provided, of course, that we ever get there
 It is hard to realize that our reeiment has been here a month for the days have iairly raced by. The daily schedule of instruction, which keeps us too busy all day to think, has made homesickness out or the question, for when a man is busy he hasn't much time for sadness. It is an ancient truth that none but the idlers can indulge in sadness and that hard work IS the very best antidote for grief
 And so none of the boys have shown any signs Of either sadness or home sickness even if they have felt any.
 The regiment is still being showered With attentions. People are sending sweaters and mufflers to the men and are coming out constantly to take them 10 dinner. In short, they are doing every thing in their power to make life attrac- tive for them. The people of this part or the country are keenly alive to the fact that the United States is in a real war, and that we are soon to bear & part in 1t. They show in this respect a re- markabie difference from the people at home.
 Back In Alabama the average person seemed to think-or tried to think-that the war would soon be over; that 1t was } million miles away, and that we had no part in it. Here in the vicinity of New York the war seems very close, in Iced, and the people realize that it could l pc very quickly brought to their very 1oors. It Is no foreign war to them but | m actual struggle for existence on the part of the United States.

And II the affairs of the company or regiment are going wrong he can always point our the 1act and show the remedy. If the government is a bit slow in getting things going, or If the quarterinasters are behind time in getting equipment up the old soldiers are never slow in dis covering 1t.

DESPERATE NEGRO'S ESCAPE FROM IAIL COSTS WARDEN JOD.
Austin Dismisses Ben Riyes, Day Jailer, Following Get away of Man Accused
 of Murder

l The escape from the county isi IT'hursday night of Walter Hardley. des. perate negro prisoner, has been satis. factorily accounted for to County So-
 licitor Joseph R. Tate, who yesterday in stituted an investigation into the mat ter, which resulted in the dismissal of
 Day Warden Ben Rives.
 l Warden Connie w. Austin, in talking | to a representative of The Age-Herald yesterday said: "The escape was not the result of criminal negligence upon the part of Day Warden Rives or any one else, but the result of Warden
 Rives disregarding my explicit instruc- tions that no prisoners were to be al- lowed in the corridors. given after an
 attempted escape sby four prisoners
 some while ago, this Walter HasdIey be-
 ing among the four. I even went to
 the precaution of having them placed in cells on the third tier to prevent the
 recurrence of such an attempt. re- gret the fact very much, but attach no blame other than the disregard of my instructions on Warden .Rives but of course after this occurrence I shall be obliged to dispense with his services
 Heretofore there has not been more careful, conscientious, thorough man in the employment of the county in my estimation, and I know there has nor been one in my division of the work. ir was simply a ease of disobedience of instructions.'
 HAS LONG RECORD
 Walter Hardley, the escaped negro, has string of crimes on his name that would be In the blue ribbon display in any rogue's gallery. This makes his third arrest for serious crimes and his second escape. He got away from the city jail May 31 of this year, where he was being kept at that time. the au- thorities of Morgan county wanting him on charge of burglary and grand lar ceny. He is also due the state peniten- tiary 30 years for an unfinished term, on five charges of grand larceny hay- ing been sent there from Decatur, where he was convicted. Taking French leave" seems to be a feature of his operations. The last offense for which he was being held at the county jail was for the al- legged murder of prominent merchant of Hanceville. in Cullman county, whom 1t Is alleged he called to the door and shot He was arrested on August 20 by Detectives Macke and Goad of the To- cal department and by them again after his escape from the city jail on August 27 Hardley was being held in the county jail for safekeeping until the time for his trial on account of the high feeling

German headquarters statement re-
fers to that Of April "a, in which the
part played by the workers at home in
promoting 'the successes Of the re-

British Headquarters in France,
April 26-(From a. Staff Correspond

each of these attacking waves had

Heavily overcast skies are giving
the German airmen brief respite
from British aerial attacks, enabling
them to make efforts to reorganize
their badly damaged squadrons, for in
four days fighting the British have
accounted for nearly 100 enemy ma
chimes. The British airmen We're
praying for continuance Of clear
weather as their worrying tactics had
provoked the Germans into heavy
fighting, but clouds gathered yester-
day and today also the skies were
overcast. In consequence the aero
plane hunt was restricted.
Because Of the heavy inroads made
by British airmen, the German kite
balloons are extremely timid these
days, although the Germans depend
mostly on them for artillery observa-
ton. They seldom attempted over
head observation with airships., The
only aircraft seen on this side Of the
line are fast fighting scouts which at
tempt raids and scurry home again in
the clouds. One German balloon
which was set adrift yesterday landed
within the British lines.
