MORGAN WELL KNOWN


 Manager Frederick B. Shireman of the Tutwiler hotel said yesterday that Morgans shortage amounted to ap- proximately $6000, and that it was made good by his bonding company
 Irving B. Morgan came to the Tut wiler from Atlanta the day it opened, about the middle of June, 1915, and continued in it's service until the night November 20, 1916. The fact that he did not come to work on the Tuesday following his departure gave rise to no suspicious, but when he failed to show up on Wednesday Manager Shire man started an Investigation.
 On Monday, the day Morgan left, the Auburn college boys had given the ho- tel check in settlement of their bill. The bank passbook for that day con- tained no entry of it's deposit, and in- quiry at the bank disclosed the fact that the check had not been deposited to the credit of the hotel. Further in- vestigation of his accounts showed a shortage of about $6000.

 When he went away Morgan left his wife and small son. who soon after wards went to her mothers in Colorado, and it is supposed later joined him. It is stated that during their resi- dence in Birmingham Morgan and his wife quarreled frequently, and on one occasion, it is said. her physician 'or-

ALLIES DRIVING FOE HARD
Drive Into Germany by Way of Rhine
Valley Marshal Foch's Next Master Move
Opinion of the Washington Observers

Washington, Oct. 1O.-The wholly unexpected
extent of the German collapse between St. Quen-
tin and Cambria which leaves, as the enemy
stands today, great gap torn in the center of the
lines that were already struggling to extricate
themselves and get back to a shorter front, has
given rise to the belief here that there is the
possibility of crushing and immediate military
victory for the allies.
Should the French to the south or the British
to the north also succeed in breaking through be-
fore the Germans can complete extensive re-
tirement the capture or destruction of whole
enemy army group might be realized.
In the opinion of observers here the situation
today has almost limitless possibilities and Mar
ounce of power at his command in an effort to
execute final coup.
MAY PAVE WAY FOR INVASION
The smashing victory of the Anglo American
forces north of St. Quentin may be paving the way
for early invasion of Germany itself. Striking hints

/. "All of the cities along the route
have already established landing
fields and are building hangers" he
said.
Commenting on what has been
accomplished in the east he said:
Last month we had a perfect
score in mail delivery between New
York, Philadelphia and Washington
with no accidents or casualties. The
speed averaged more than l25 miles
an hour and l believe this can be
maintained on all routes. Night fly
ing will soon be a regular thing in
the aerial mail service and the planes
we are using and building will be
able to fly in any kind of weather.
While our present weight-carrying
limit is 700 pounds, l believe we can
soon raise it to five tons. The Ca
proni planes will carry as much mail
as an average mail train. At speed
of l25 miles an hour, it will cost not
more than $50 an hour to operate

Prince Max Shown to HOLD
Democratic Government
for His People in Cyni-
cal Contempt.
By Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. 10,-The idea so
carefully featured by the German
semi-official press bureatfa%hat the
appointment of Prince Maximilian
of Baden, as chancellor was long
step toward the democrazation of
Germany is completely dissipated by
documents written by the prince,
copies of which have just reached
Washington. One is the text of a
speech the prince delivered last De-
cember in the Baden first chamber,
of which he was president, and the
other is letter written last Janu-
ary to his counsin Prince Hohen-
lobe.
The papers show the prince in
his true character and are accepted
here as we'll as justifying President
Wilson's inquiry as to whether, in
seeking peace, he speaks for those
in Germany who have conducted the
war up to this time. They disclose
the prince as holding in cynical con-
tempt the proponents of democratic
government for the central powers.
The letter was called forth by the
speech, which in some quarters was
criticised because of the unnatural
combination of lofty Christian doc
trine with brutal German militarism.
The speech drew a telegram of COM
mendation from the kaiser, the
prince wrote his cousin, and the
junkers caused thousands of copies
of it to be printed for general dis
tribution over the empire.
In the letter to his cousin, Prince
Max disclosed his true feeling when
he said:
"As am opposed to the western
parliamentarism for Germany and
Baden, l was obliged to say to the
people of Baden, or rather of Ger
many, that I understood its merit,
but that such institutions were not

France and they follow repeated reports from
Switzerland that the civil populations of the Rhine
valley towns were being removed by the German
authorities.
Some officers here regard these reports as high
ly significant. They give them particular weight
because it now appears certain that the enemy
will be forced far back all along the front in north
ern France and Belgium within the next few days
While the constant hammering is kept up in
the north to pin the German armies there it might
be possible, it was said, to deliver new stroke
on the Alsace-Lorraine front that might swiftly
develop into an invasion of Germany itself by way
of the Rhine valley.

1t does not appear likely, however, that the
Rhine drive plans, if there such plans, will de-

Should the German armies escape the triple trap

CAMBRIA blown
Up With Mines
LAID BY HUNS
Time Fuses Set With object Of
Killing as Many Of Allied
Troops as Was
Possible.
BY Associated Press.

With the Angio-American Forces
Southeast of Cambria, Oct. 10.-The
powerful mines which the Germans
had placed under Cambria seem to
have been set with a time fuse, the
idea being to complete the destruc-
ton started by fire and to kill as
great number of the allied soldiers
as possible.
The explosion went off with a
roar under the center of the town
after it had been occupied by the
British. The crash and detonation
were seen and heard for miles.
Great damage, the extent of which
has not yet been determined, was
done to Cambria.
More French civilians have been
freed from the Germans. Some of
the inha bitants of the town rushed
out to meet the marching British
and greeted them with cheers and
tears.
Cambria Smoking Ruins.

France, Wednesday, October TO-
Cambria is smoking ruin. The
Germans have probably never pre-
petrated more ruthless nor more
premeditated vandalism than this -
Cambria. France can never forget
nor forgive this" remarked French
officer. Torch in hand, the enemy
comes offering us peace"
When the Canadians entered Cam
brai the great public square of the
Place D'Armes was virtually intact.
Now it is a mass of ruins. All day,
in every part of the town there were
explosions Of incendiary bombs with
time fuses attached and these were
followed Immediately by outbursts
of fire. In one short street a dozen
houses simultaneously burst in
flames.
The town hall, the bishops palace
and other buildings were blown to
pieces. The cathedral still stands,
but only with it's ruined chancel.
Fire is tapping the base of the great
belfry tower.
AS the hours went by the uni
versal character of the holocaust de-
veloped. The situation was obscured
partly and it seemed like a fiery ball
in the smoke and thick dust of fall
ing walls.

pen in the conhagration by dynamit-
ing the building, but. the flames
broke out at the backs of the SOL
diers.

The Ticonderoga was attacked,
presumably on October 2, when she
fell behind her convoy because of en-
gine trouble.
According to the story of the sur-
vivors, the submarine was not sight

The torpedo did not strike a vital

almost as quickly. Then the men
went to the boats, but it was no
use as the flying shrapnel was spray
ing the deck and men fell in scores,
either killed or badly wounded"
Another survivor declared that all
