 Southern league directors will meet in Birmingham sometime next week for the purpose of adopting the schedule for the 1917 season, President Baugh announced yesterday The exact date of the meeting will be held later. but it is probable that it will be held on either Wednesday or Thursday.
 The session is the regular spring meet ing of the directors. Every club in the league will be represented.

 The annual spring meeting last year was held in Atlanta. The president of the league reserves the power to select the place of the meeting.
 The meeting will probably be held at one of the leading local hotels How ever, 1t may be held in the presidents s office.
 At the present time, four separate schedules are being drafted by different parties for presentation to the directors. Mike Finn, the former Southern league manager, has drafted one of the sched- ules. Just who has drafted the other copies has not been made known
 The above plan was adopted at the fall meeting in Nashville in December, following row over who would com pose the so-called schedule committee. Last year a number of clubs raised 8 howl claiming they had been treated impartially by the committee The above plan was adopted to avoid this squabble.
 Announcement will be made later as to the exact date for the meeting. Other particulars will also be announced at q later date. F R

A few days before the measure was
voted upon Washington newspaper
correspondents reported both sena-
tors and every representative in the
South Carolina delegation, with the
execution of Mr.. Ragsdale, in favor
of the volunteer system. When the
vote was taken Senator Tillman was
absent, but paired against it, and
Senator Smith voted against the vol

WAR REPORTS SUMMARIZED.
News From Various. Rattlefronts Told
in Brief.

After days OF intensive fighting. in
which positions have changed hands
numerous times, the British troops
have recaptured the greater portion
of the village of Bullecourt and re-
pulsed violent counter attacks deliv-
cred by the Germans east OF the viii
lage.
Along the Scarpe river to the east
Of Arras there also have been san
culinary encounters, but again the
advantage rested with Field Marshal
Hais's forces. Portions Of the VII
lage of Roeux have been taken by
the British and another step forward
has been gained by them on the west
ern slopes of Greenland hill.
There has been no let up in the air
fighting, which has been going on
since the spring offensive began.
Eleven German aeroplanes were ac-
counted for Saturday by the British
ten of them in air battles and one by
an anti-aircraft gun. The British
themselves lost six machines.
Attacks Repulsed.
On the southern end of the line
held by the French the Germans Sun
day morning made strong attacks on
the plateau of Craonne, on the Sec
ton north of Rheims and in the re-
gion of Maisons de Champagne. Not
alone did the French put down all
three attacks with the fire of their
artillery and rifles, causing heavy cas-
ualties, but they pushed back the
German line and in addition made
prisoners. There still is no indica-
tion of the approach of any fighting
of moment between the Austro-Ger-
mans and Russians on the eastern
front from the Baltic sea to Rumanla.
Along this entire line the operations
consist merely of small skirmlshes
and reconnoissances.
In Macedonia violent artillery
duels are in progress along the entire
front. with the preponderance in the
gunpower apparently on the entente
side. Sunday saw no infantry ac-
tions there.
