KILBY MEN ENTHUSIASTIC

With the general situation, Kilby headuuarters displayed signs of great enthusiasm yesterday. There was an unmistakabIe air of confidence on the part of those in authority. The eahdi- date himself was in Haleyville, from which point during the day he tele- phoned news considered very good. He declared that from his canvass of the section of the state in which he then was. he was entirely satisfied that the people were demanding the services Of a business governor, rather than or a governor skilled principally in the science of domestic politics
 | A Embry of Ashville brought cheering news. He declared that St. Clair county would be found in the
 Kilby column by healthy majority, that the people were enthusiastically
 behind the Anniston man, and were well hware that the necessity of busi-
 ness governor was paramount. George I Partridge of Centreville declared that Bibb county-claimed in the be- ginning by the Brandon forces-was internationally for l<ilby. It was the oninion of both these gentlemen that the campaign of personal slander al Ieaed to have been indulged in by the Kilhv opposition, was redoundinE to the disadvantage of the opposition. George II. Malone of Dothan tele- nhoned that conditions in Houston coun- tv were good, and that the wire grass would not be found behind other sec lions of Alabama in piling up ma ! iorities for Kilby. J. l.. Warren ol Coffee county telephoned additiona news to the same effect.

 AnnistOn ITEASLEY'S GAIN IS POLITICAL FEATURE
 OF THE PAST WEEK Some of the Reasons Ad- vanced for InrOads Made
 by Him on Brandon
 Strength
By HUGH w. ROBERTs

The race for second place in the llss of gubernatcr:al candidates, in which at one time Judge William w. Brandon of Tuscaloosa occupied such pre-eminent position. became the center of attention yesterday wien reports reached Birming- ham which indicated sensational prog ress on the part of Judge Charles b. Teasley of Montgomery.
 Inasmpch as for several weeks well informed political observers-som open ly and others in whispers-have con ceded the election of Thomas E. Kilby of Annstcn, the campaign for governor has lacked interest to an abnormal de- gree At the same time the practical certainty. that Judge Brandon would se- cure the position of runner-up further detracteI from listless situation. Now, however, since Judge Teasley has given promise of showing real form, the race for second place has found it's position in the sun.
 There were some predictions yester- day-and che bet-that Judge Teasley would outpoint Judge Brandon. On thus point, however, there was no degree oi unanimity.
 REASONS FOR TEASLEY'S GAIN Reasons for the report of TeasleYe gain on Brandon were two in number. The Montgomery Advertiser is makins
 vigorous fight for the Montgomery candidate, and this fight has centereu local option strength in south Alabama I the circulation territory of the Advef- l tiser-Gu Teasley, whereas formerly IL
 was divided between Kilby, Brandon
 Teasley and Wallace, with Brandon III possession of the greatest share. 1 In addition to the effect of the Ac-
 vertiser's campaign, it was stated that
 many local optionists, heretofore ir- 1 clined to Brandon, had abandoned ms standard when he failed to make good promise which he is alleged to nave
 made to convert the state executive com
 mittee to the practicality of submittinS to the people the proposed prohibitions amendment If Judge Brandon made l such promise it is obvious that the
 promise was not fulfilled. It is known
 that certain prominent local optionists
 have informally charged that the rus,
 caloosa candidate, having showed up | late,r did rot .strenuouslyo exert himseit, l At any rate, they are sore ana swear that they will not support "Plain l Bill" Therefore. there is additional req son for the belief that Teasley wiil
 nose" him out of second place.

Military Authorities Go Ahead
on Large Scale.
Turkey and Austria Milestone
on German Neck.
ELIMINATE TWO NATIONS
Army of Four Million Men
Across by Midyear.
War Department FORCES Ahead
to Great Task.

Washington, Oct, 21.-With Austria
and Turkey now a milestone around
the German neck, military authorities
here today are studying war needs. on
the basis of prospective elimination of
these nations.
Such a break, in one way, would
strengthen Germany. 1t would permit
her to fight stiff defensive warfare
on shortened lines at her own doors
and would require that the United
States and the allies put forth a max
inum effort to bring the 1919 victory.
With this in mind. the war depart
ment is laying its future plans.
Collapse Deemed Certain.
Collapse of Austro-Turkish military
aid to Germany is deemed certain.
Then. should Germany decide that she
will night on into the coming year. a
struggle of immense and costly pro-
portions would be undertaken.
The United States is proceeding on
the theory that just such a maximum
effort will be required The general
star is taking into account none of
the peace maneuvers. 1t is reckoning
on Austrian and Turkish collapse from
n military rather than political
standpoint
rs Some indications are that Germany
Is planning to take chance on bat
fling over into next year. The question
with her, as military men see it, is
whether or not she can obtain a better
standing at the peace table by such a
6 gamble, American authorities doubt
1t, saying that instead of making al
lied losses react to her benefit, Ger
lnany will suffer heavy casualties and
besides will find her territory invaded
and her industries alta cked.
=, Four Million Men Over.
p In any event, the v r department
is forging ahead with its plan of
100000 men abroad by mid-year, the
quartermaster's branch is preparing
TO supply thu; vast force, and the ship
ping board has been called on for
more troops and cargo ships
AS the war situation shapes up at
the moment. military men doubt that
the boche will be able to stand behind
the Scheldt, as he planned to do. The
thrust at. Valenciennes will compel
evacuation of the salient to the north.
With the Germans evidently preparing
to fall back on Antwerp. il now seems
unlikely that he will be able to
make any important defense on the
Antwerp Scheldt line.
Meantime the American pressure in
the Mouse region continues. The Ger
man is holding desperately on to the
pivot in that region, so as to complete
his Belgian retirement in comparative
ly good order, but it is held that his
complete removal to his own frontiers
is still likely to be accomplished be-
fore winter sets in.

WANT CONVICT BARRIERS
Manhattan Shops Ask Governor for
Penitcntiary Help.

Some of the master BARRIERS at Man.
hatton, who say they have been ex-
periencing a serious labor shortage,
thought they had discovered a way to
fill their. shops with operators. One of
the owners of shop called the gov
ernor by telephone and asked him to
release all the BARRIERS now in the
Kansas penitentiary who could be
spared. He said the barber shortage
in Manhattan was so serious that des-
perate measures had to be taken and
he wanted action at once.
There are a few BARRIERS in the pris-
on but the governor doesn't have any
intention of releasing all the men of
any trade just because there is labor
shortage. Every parole case is re-
auired to. stand on it's own merits.
The Manhattan BARRIERS didn't know
any names or any cases of the BARRIERS
they wanted released, just wanted the
governor to parole a flock of BARRIERS
to the master BARRIERS of Manhattan
for emergency use. But the governor
had to turn down the proposition.

D0UAI DESoLATE
Town Is Sad Sight as Left by
the Germans.
Every Possible Damage Was
Done to City.

With the British Armies in France,
Oct. 20.-Douai, in it's waste and des
oIation, is a sad sight Moving pic
lures of the city should be taken SO
that the world could see for itself
sights which cannot be described.
The streets are filled with furniture
and articles of all kinds. 1t might be
said that in Douai all the insane asy-
lums had been opened and that mad
men in their fury had taken delight
in destroying everything, The mater
ial losses are incalculable.
The stained class windows in the
church of St Peter have been smashed
and the great organ has been broken
up. Religious ornaments were found
scattered about the floor or the
church. The city hall. where the
German commandant had his quar-
ters was pilIaged and sacked.
Broken cannon, rusted rifles, pieces
of shell, barbed wire and the bayonets
and other equipment of soldiers were
scattered all about. There are miles
of mangled fields, where the shell
craters are SO thick it is impossible to
tell where one begins and the other
leaves off Here and there are old
machine gun mounds of stone. con-
crete and dirt. The trees are leafless
and many have been cl1ewed to pieces
by flying shells and bullets.

SECURE RECRUITS
Officers Will Be Found Thru Per.
sonneI Branch of Army.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Recruiting OF
officers for the army hereafter will be
centralized The new personnel branch
of the general staff under General
Bishop will establish bureaus in all
big cities and thru these all require
ments of the army will be filled.
This service will take care of all
branches and thereafter no direct ap-
plicatiops for commissions will be con-
sidered thru the staff corps. At the
same time. pressure in Washington
will be relieved. ~
The plan is meeting with some OPP
position in the various branches. Many
officers hold that each section of the
army should retain it's own personnel
section as in the past, holding thai
one centralized bureau cannot judge
as thereby of the needs of several hu-
