TALLADEGANS THINK 5000 MEN HIKING MAKE HONG LINE"
Little Alabama Towns for First Time Since Rous- seau's Raid Entertain
 Northern Troops

Talladega, November 23-(Special) )-Sx thousand men marching makes a long Ine as this city found out at noon Fri day when the Fifty-seventh infantry brigade from Camp Mcclellan hit the town. The states of New Jersey, Dela- ware and Maryland furnished these troops The command was led by Brig. Gen. Charles w. Barber of New Jersey, The 18th infantry was under command of Col John D. Frazier, while Col. AL bert A. Van Walraven led the 114th. Al though the boys had already marched 10 miles, yet when they reached the city limits they seemed as fresh as though 1t was an ordinary walk. With bands playing, flags flying, and smile on the faces of the marching men it was an ir- spiring sight, that awakened vociferous cheering from the thousands of specta- tors lining the sidewalks. Three bands en- livened the march through the city with "Dixie." Maryland My Maryland" My Old Kentucky Home" and other familiar airs On every side people from the throngs along the line of march called "Glad to see you, boys" You certainly look good to me-" Welcome soldiers"
 
 all of which brought grins and suitable replies from the volunteers.
 One mile north of the city, adjoining the lake, is situated the camp, in a roll ing plateau of 100 acres. Two hundred and fifty soldier policemen were at once detailed to assist the local force in look ing after the order of the city, while the men were here, and their headquarters were established at the city hail. Many lunch stands and extempore eating places were established by the ladies for the benefit of the hungry ones. Pie was the great desideratum of those searching for food.
 The folks had forgotten, for the mo ment, that these soldiers hailed from the pie belt The honest truth Is, these are the only eastern troops that have been in Talladega since Rousseau's raic in 1865, and the local folks are much glad der to see them than they were 52 years since. Everybody is doing something to make the command welcome. Every nome is opened. and privates. as well as officers are guests. Bonfires were pre- pared to be lighted on the four corners of the square, where on the asphalt sur face of street 150 feet wide by 400 feet long, space of that dimension has been roped off for great dance.

BILLY SUNDAYS
 DOUBLE IN TOWN

You don't have to go to Atlanta to hear Billy Sunday preach, nor do you have to wait until he comes to Birmingham in 1919-he is here now-hat is, he has an understudy that will make you think hard and long to tell the difference.
 Charles Leonard Fletcher is the man. and he is about as good on preacher impersonations as he is on Mark Twain or other famous characters. He is at Loew's Bijou this afternoon and night, and is making a decided hit with those who have seen or read about the famous baseball player-now evangelist--for he has Billy down to a finish even to shedding his coat, then his collar and tie.
 This is one of the best acts ever put on in Birmingham, for Fletcher is not only a splendid impersonator, but he is finished actor. Go down and see Billy Sundays double just for comparisons s sake

 Conditions at the camp, however, were reported to be rapidly improving" by Surgeon General William Crawford Cor gas, U. $. Al, who inspected Camp Wheeler today. He attributed the large number of cases of measles to the fact that many of the drafted men in train- ing here came from sparsely settled dis tricts where they had never come in contact with the malady.
 Gov. Charles Henderson of Alabama and members of the governors staff are expected here early tomorrow.

LITTLE TOWN OF
 MUNFORD TAKEN
 BY 9TH BRIGADE
Six Thousand Men on Hike Camp There and "Eat
 Out" All Stores

Admission. November 23.-(Special1-The 'Fifty-seventh brigade of the Blue and
 Gray division, which is now on it's fourth
 day of the period of field training,
 pitched their tents in the Street pasture
 near Munford Thursday night, and within a very short space of time great num-
 bers of the boys visited the little town of Munford, which is the largest coun-
 try village between Oxford and Talla- dega, and reports from that point Fri day were to the effect that within 5V minutes all the eatables and drinkables
 in the four stores there had been con sumed by the hungry and thirsty tray
 elers. Munford is 10 miles north of Talladega and the brigade left the latter city Friday night and will return and camp again tonight at the Munford stop ping place.
 With their line of march following the route laid out and first travelled by the tribe of Creek Indians headed by the famous cheftain of other days, the Fifty seventh brigade encamped on it's second night of a four-day hike within stones throw of the trail made by the Indians as they travelled from Florida toward the land of the setting sun.
 The cavalcade of today is striking contrast to the marchers of other days. In 1883 the government decreed that the Indians should begin their journey west ward in search of other hunting grounds, and the Florida and Georgia Indians, under Chief Mcintosh, began their trav- els The famous chieftain laid out the route of travel and the old Georgia road, or Mcintosh, road is still used as the best location for highway to be found along the upper edges of Talladega coun ty The pony laden cavalcade, with it's tepees and skin beds as the. principal baggage, the warriors armed with their bows and arrows as the weapons of defense, and their squaws carrying their children swung across their shoulders, passed along the same route nearly 100 years ago.
 Never before has there passed along this way body of men so well equipped or trained for service in the field. With the entire countryside turned out to wit ness the passing of the khaki-clab bat the greatest spectacle of the cen- tury was afforded as the well trained bat talions swung down the pike. The drums beat and the bands played. The bright November sun cast it's shining rays on the polished rifle barrels of the hardy ''doughboys" and the rattle of the field trains and ambulances, made a scene long to be remembered

paticn of visit to his home by the boys grandfa ther. The boy was in Mrs De Saulles' keeping, he declared, by previous agreement.
 When the lad was not returned that night as promised, Uterhart said Mrs. De Saulles went to "The Box" in the hope that she might obtain possession Of him. Giving his version of the conversa- ton that ensued between the parents, the attorney emphasized the positive na- ture of De Saulles refusals to give her tl,e hev fY5 cached the climax of his s f5yess yter ne declaTed:

Everything became blank before her. That was the last she knew until she awakened in the Nassau county jail.
 NO "UNWRITTEN LAW PLEA
 Uterhart said the defense will not be based on any hypothetical claim of 'brainstorm" or emotional insanity and there would be no appeal under the ''unwritten law

 of New York, which says that pciSOll oiidll ilCt DC NciiNiStSo VI Q deed committed when suffering from such defective reason as not to know the nature or the quality of the act or that it was wrong"
 There will be no session of the trial tomorrow, the court having taken re- cess until Monday at the close of Uter- harts statement This was done at the request of the defendants counsel, who said he desired to place Mrs. De Saules on the witness stand when there would be enough time for her to complete her story.

Delayed )-In connection with the order to General Dukhonin. commander-in- chief or the Russian army. to open ne- gotiations for an armistice with the enemy commanders, the Associated Press today interviewed Leon Trotzlly, the Bolsheviki foreign minister. Trotzky emphatically declared that the soldiers and worklnen's government was against a seperate peace with Germany. He voiced his conviction that Russia's initi- ative in offering peace will be supported by the proletariat of all countries, ailled or belligerent, which will make impos- sible a continuation of the war even if the governments do not accept the offer
 PLANS AND INTENTIONS
 What are the plans and intentions of your government?" the correspondent inquired.
 ''The plans and intentions of the gov ernment are outlined in the programme of the Bolsheviki party to which the all- Russia congress of soldiers and work mems delegates entrusted the formation of a soldiers and workmens govern ment," the foreign minister answered.
