Admiral Von Tirpitz Is Still Confident of
 Submarine Success

Amsterdam. October 13-Admiral von Tirpitz, former commander of the Ger man imperial navy, interviewed by the Brunswick Lands Zeitung, is quoted as saying:
 We can confidently expect to have final triumphant over England as long as we continue to sink vessels faster than she constructs them. submarine war success cannot be expected imme- diately, however, but If we pursue our aim firmly, we shall find after some months that our position for negotiations with England will be quite different.
 England desires nothing now while her position Is comparatively favorable The decisive factors are the shipping losses suffered by the entente and by neutrals who expose themselves to our U-boat war.
 No definite time can be fixed for our success. Economically and as regards raw materials our position today Is stronger than that of France or Italy. How far England will be able to make her supplies last cannot be predicted.
 "But the decisive factor IS that while we supply four-fifths of our economic needs from our own productions England has to fetch four-fifths of hers from overseas
 We are now at the Hateful hour of oul existence. Germany cannot maintain hel position as a world power against Eng land unless her position Is founded or might

GAS LINE IS LAID ID BEGIN DRILLING SECOND DOME HOLE Gulf Producing Go. Hopes to Have Down Five Wells
 by Christmas
GAS IS NOW USED
 FOR ENGINE FUEL
Chairman Owens Goes to New York for Conference With Eastern Stockholders in the
 Company

With the laying of gas and water lines on Aldrich dome yesterday the Gulf Pro- ducing company will be ready to begin drilling tomorrow or Tuesday on gas well No 2. The dome Is eight miles south of the courthouse in Birmingham. in the Cahaba valley.
 It will be recalled that well No. 1 was brought in last Monday with fine flow of gas, which convinced the officials of the company that they have in this prop erty an abundant supply of natural gas sufficient in fact to supply all Birming- hams requirements. It is proposed to open five more wells before Christmas and these will give an estimated daily capacity of about 100000 feet.
 Well No. will be about $50 feet north of No. on the Aldrich dome and a gas pipeline has been laid from No. so that the drilling of future wells will be carried on with natural gas as fuel
 It has now been definitely decided not to drill further in well No. 1. It Is be- Neved that the gas sand at the 2S0-foot level in this well was barely touched, and it was the hope of officers of the company to go down about 10 feet fur ther. The gas pressure. however, was so strong that no water could be kept in the hole to keep the tools cool and the plan was given up. A somewhat different method of drilling will be pur- sued in well No. 2, and 1t is hoped that the gas sand can be penetrated to greater depth.
 Visiting oil and gas men from other sections continue to come to Birmlng- ham to inspect the property A Chicago man who was on the ground yesterday was enthusiastic in his praise of the indicated pressure and the quality of tho gas.
 Chairman c. A. Owens of the Gulf Pro- ducing company left yesterday for a short trip to New York for a conference with some of the eastern stockholders of the company. While in the east he will also visit Richmond, as several of the largest stockholders of the company arc yirgiria0A

 has received a wound and has only recently been discharged from the hos , pital.
 The greater part of the letter follows Mrs. M. w. Moore, 113e Twelfth street south. Birmingham, Ala. Dear Mother: I wrote you last Sun. day. but did not get to mail my letter

REMOUNT STATION BUSIEST PART OF
 CAMP GILLIAN

Aniston. October 13.-(SpecialQ The new remount station, located near the machinegun outfit, Camp Me Clellan, was the Mecca of thousands of soldiers Saturday afternoon The work on the station has just been fin- ished and carloads of horses and mules are now arriving daily and being turned into the corrals.
 It was estimated today that if the feed troughs at the remount depot were placed end to end they would extend a mile and a quarter. There are over one mile of hayracSs and one mile of shelters for the animals, and 25,O00 feet of fence surrounds the cor rals.
 The soldiers find the remount de- pot unusually interesting in that it offers chance for them to take un- usual pictures and there are many amateur photographers at the camp.
 On clear Saturday afternoons and all day Sundays thousands of them can be seen taking snapshots of points of interest in the camp, of their own tents, their own officers and their comrades to send to home folks.
 The Saturday half holiday at the camp Is looked forward to with as much eagerness as the average school boy looks forward to his summer Va cation.
