The belief is growing among railroad men on the Memphis division of the Southern that the railroad will not avail itself of the privilege recently granted by the Alabama public service commission of curtailing the number of its passenger trains by eliminating Trains Nos, and 6 between Huntsville and Memphis. They have not received any information from headquarters but a tip is being passed down the line that no change is likely.

fairs, speaking as he says by the
full authority of the Gar and this
followed by unanimous vote OF
the Russian Duma in opposition
to considering the question OF
peace in Europe may be regarded
as conclusive in the premises. Rus
sia has more to lose at present,
more to gain by ultimate success
and less to risk at any period than
any of the other Entente Powers.
She also holds commanding posi-
tion in the essential element which
will win the war-man- power and
untouched natural resources and
authority to command both with
out recourse to parliamentary pro
cesses. Moreover, Russia's par
ticipation in the war was begun
not so much from considerations
of territorial acquisition as from the
pronptings of the most fanatical
of human emotions that based
upon religion. The menace OF
Austria upon Serbia aroused Holy
Russia the strongest of the States

the protector OF that form of wor-
ship against Mohammedan aggres'
sion and the big brother of all the
Slavic Balkan peoples who bow to
the Cross of st. Andrew. With a
definite promise of Constantinople,
Russia, from a material standpoint
cannot now yield. especially upon
terms which would at the same
time deprive her of access to
Southern waters and shut her off
from the Baltic through the crea-
ton of an independent Poland and
Lithuania. Peace cannot be made
without Russia. The Pact of
London prevents that. And Rus
sia is unyielding.

Fred M. Bell, Acquitted

The supreme court On Saturday,
reversed the conviction of Fred
NJ Bell who was tried in Perkins
county in 1915, on the charge of
killing Claude Heron. This kill
ing occurred about twenty miles
north of Faith and most of the
witnesses were people from near
Faith. Bell was found guilty and
sentenced to fourteen years in the
penitentiary. Harry p. Atwater
had charge of his defense and ap-
pealed the case. The supreme
court holds that the evidence was
insufficient to sustain a conviction
in that Heron was the aggressor
and that the shooting was clearly
l. self defense. At the trial in
circuit court, w. F. Eddy of
Lennon, and Carpenter & MOrri-
son Of MObridge, conducted the
prosecution while Harry p. At
voter, Percy II. Helm and E. M.
