Shortage of Nitrate Calls For Construction
 or Enormous Plant
22OO Acres of Land Lying at the Foot of Muscle Shoals Has Been Selected and Iy Is Under stood That It Has Been Recommended
 the Work on the Plant Start at Once

Florence, November 27.-(Special) The alarming shortage of nitrate has developed an entirely new situation at Muscle Shoals and $30.000,000, it is stated, will now be used in the im- mediate construction of great nj trate plant, and this huge plant and expenditure will be outside of the ex- perimental plant and the big hydro electric development and will be inde- pendent of both.
 The officers of the American Cya- namid company, who have offered their services to the government free of charge in the construction of d great nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, have just spent a week at this point and it is understood have recommends ed that the work on the plant begin immediately.
 COST OF THIRTY MILLIONS
 It is stated that 2200 acres of land lying at the foot of Muscle Shoals and at the south end of the Florence river bridge has been selected as the most desirable site and options have been secured on practically all of the land. The work of laying railway sidetrack s on the land was started yesterday.
 It is stated that the great plant Is to cost $3o,000.0oo and that 1t is en- tirely separate from the other devel- opments as far as expenditures arc concerned.

 Meagre official reports of the prog ress of the drive on Cambrai indicate clearly that General Byng's forces arc aiming at a great encircling move ment With a wide wedge driven into the Cambrai front the British com mander apparently is working his way behind the German lines on his left flank If he succeeds in pene- trating deeply in that direction many officers here believe he will force a retirement by the Germans on a widel front S
 Meanwhile the British and French pressure farther toward the Belgian coast is unceasing. A new offensive effort there is expected as a part of the whole plan on which the allies are engaged of forcing the Germans back from long section of the coast where submarine bases arc located.

Suggestion of Agreement on Penalty Clause Does Not Draw Favorable Reply

IDLE MEN CONCERN

 WAGE QU ESTION
McC cCormack Again Demands Names of 500 Miners So He Can Testify as to
 Reasons for Discharge
Rx HIGH w. ROBERTS


 Washington, November 27.
 Special .)-To an indirect sug-
 gestion that the operators and
 operatives of Alabama agree to
 the penalty clause of the United
 States government, proposed by
 George B. Mccormack, president
 of the Alabama Coal Operators
 association, this morning before
 N. A. Garfield, national fuel ad-
 ministrator, John L. Lewis, vice
 president of the International
 Mine Workers of America, failed
 to make favorable response.
 The penalty clause was adopted by the government as means to prevent strikes and lockouts, and thus reduction on the mining of coal. It is to be volun- tarily espoused by both operators and operatives. It would entail on opera tors, in the event they were adjudged blameworthy for industrial friction. fine of s1 day for each man thrown out of work; and an operative, judged blameworthy. like fine.
 The suggestion of MT. Mccormack was the first in the conference between Ala bama operators and officials of the miners union. The penalty matter will be more fully discussed and either adopted or rejected.
 IDLE MEN CONCERN LEWIS
 In the conference today, which was without practical result, the representa- tives of the miners were apparently more concerned with the 600 idle men in the Birmingham district, who have already inflicted a burden on the national or ganization of $so,oOo, than with the ques- tion of wages. MT. Lewis did make it plain that he would insist on uniform scale for the payment of day laborers but it was evident that first he would rid the national organization of the up- keep of the men not reinstated by oper- ators.
 Mir. Mccormack again demanded the names of the 600 men in order that he might offer testimony as to the reason for their discharge and continued idle ness Information again was refused. The operators contend that when the organizers organized their union, many men. never employed by operators, signed up. and thus made themselves eligible for the $1O a week upkeep.

him to believe that the allies have the Germans on the run.
 It developed, too, in course of the conversation between the sec retary and the chairman that the war department is informed that Americans were participants in the recent drive of General Byng.
 It seems that the engineering corps under General Pershing had much to do with mapping out the course of the charging British.
 Such information has not pre- viously been given to the Amer ican public and it seems to bear out the suggestion contained in previous Age-Herald correspond ence that General Byng in pro- ceeding against the Teutons with out preliminary artillery fire act ed on advice of the American com manding officer.
 As to the details of his conver- sation with the secretary. Mir. Dent declined to commit himself.

BRITISH HARD AFTEH FEM


 Around the village of BouFlon and Bourbon wood and about Fontane Notre Dame, in the region of CanIbrai, the British troops are keeping htrd after the Germans. Tn both sectors General Byng's forces again have made consid- erable progress. especially at Iontaines where, having been evicted by the Ger mans after the initial drive of last week. they again have obtained a footing in the town and have advanced almosl to the main street. A heavy concentration of enemy machine guns in the Fole wood did not succeed in stopping the British advance. The southern portion oi Bour- lon village also was entered by tFe Britt ish after hot fight, but aftef hav- ing rescued some of their troops who had been isolated there for sometime the British withdrew to their original positions.
 Possibly in a supreme endeavor to break the Italian line before the Brit ish and French endorsements enter the fray. the Austro-Germans, comprising an entire division, have attacked the Ital- ians in the Brenta valley, on the ndrth- ern sector of the Italian front Like similar, though smaller, attacks during recent days the offensive was stopped by the Italian artillery and infantry, the enemy suffering heavy losses in men and made prisoner. Four additional At tacks between the Brenta and PiaYe rivers also were put down with sevefe casualties and everywhere the Italians held their original line.

By EDGAR A. GUEST.

Oh, the hills and woods are gorgeous
with their tints of red and gold,
And stand and gaze each morning at
the new scenes that unfold,
And / feel deep contentment and a
sense of holy bliss
And I'm grateful to the Master who
has worked such charm as this.
'Tis the end of life, they tell me, It's
the passing of the year,
Natures toiling time is over and her
slunber days are near.
1t is death that I'm beholding, every
leaf upon the tree
Is putting on its finest for the end
that's soon to be;
Every twig now looks its gayest and
the rising morning sun
Sees a world of living toilers with their
little tasks all done,
And they've donned their finest raj
ment, each in color rich is
dressed
For their carnival of gladness just be-
fore they fall to rest.
There's no tragic fear of passing in
these creatures nature calls,
There's no struggle of resistance as to
earth the first leaf falls,
But it seems to scatter gladness as it
dances down the way
Oh l stand and watch it falling very
gently to the soil,
Hoping l may pass as bravely when
I've done my bit of toll.
When 1 come to my October and the
end is near for me.
should like to close my labors as does
every maple tree.
When my hours of work are over and
my strength is nearly gone,
And the angel soon shall beckon me to
rise and follow on,
May my soul be at its finest and may
l be at my best,
And my. life be rich with beauty, as
heed the call to rest.
