Russia---Has She Been
of Any Use to AHies7

The Russian offensives against Aus
iria did not hurt Germany in the
slightest. but they did lead directly up
to the realization OF the most impor-
tant item In Germany's scheme for
world empire. through the creation OF
the middle Europe and Berlin-to-Bas-
dad unity.
If Austria had not been almost on
the point Of collapse. as the result OF
the Russian invasion. she would never
have yielded up her sovereignty to
Germany. After the destruction Of her
armies Austria had 20 pay any price
for German aid, and as a result Ger
many took practical possession OF the
Hapsburg empire, took the gold out
Of the Austrian bank. put her com
mandefs over practically all tho ar
mics, mixed German troops in all Aus
trian units, and laid her hands on all
the strategic places in the Hapsburg
administrative machine.
Then. when the absorption OF Aus
tria. had been completed, Germany
turned on Russia, and with hardly any
trouble, drove the Russians out Of
Austria, took Warsaw. and conquered
Poland and part Of the Baltic prov
inces.
She came TO Austria's aid only after
her ally had been reduced 10 vassalage.
by the obliging Russian commanders
who had concentrated on Austria and
laid off OF Germany.
When she turned on the Russian ar
mics IN Austria and started the Duna-
iec campaign OF 1915. her allies inside

prepared the way for hers

were captured.
While Russian wheat was going 10
Germany every day the Russian people
in the cities were being starved by
"higher-up" traitors figuring in peace

THIS calculation missed fire because
Of the revolution and The short-lived

GOAL DEALERS MUST
 USE PROF|TSOF 1915 ID COMPUTE PRICES
s. P. Kennedy, State Fuel Administrator, Makes a Statement Regarding
 Sale of Coal in State

Montgomery, October S-(Special. .)-Re. tail coal dealers of Alabama must use the profits made during 1915 as the basis for computing their profits for the pres ent and may add 80 per cent to their average gross profit during 1915, pro- vided the amount does not exceed the average gross profit in July, 1917. This decision was made by Samuel P. Ken nedy, state fuel administrator, Monday when he returned from Washington, where he conferred with the national administrator.
 Administrator Kennedy said he be- lieved this was fair to dealers and con- sumers. The 30 per cent is added to the profit of 1915 because of the heavy in- crease in the cost of doing business. MT. Kennedy'S formal announcement fol- lows:
 Tn selling coal retail dealer may add to the cost of the coal delivered on his sidetrack an amount equal to the average gross profits that he made in the year 1915. plus 30 per cent, provided said amount does not exceed the average gross profit which he made on coal dur Ing the month of July, 19917."
 The fuel administrator will establish his office at Anniston and John B. Le- garde of Calhoun county has been en- ployed as secretary. Referring to MT. Legarde, Mr. Kennedy said: MT. Le- garde is one of the largest and most progressive stock farmers of Alexander Valley. He Is a man of vast experience in manufacturing lines. having been for years president of the Legarde Lime and Stone company. He Is a man of splen- did ability and I am extremely fortunate in securing him as secretary, and was only able to do so purely along the lines of what he considered a patriotic duty in serving at this time"
