There was lively accommodating ac-

During the night before last we
gave up our projecting positions be-

the canal and on the Banteux-le-

there to a rearward line.
Partial engagements took place
north of st. Quentin and in the Cham

Panic in Central Powers Known.
The President is we'll aware that
veritable panic reigns III the diplo-
matte and military councils of the
central powers, that the speech of the
kaiser referring to the collapse in
Macedonia is a public admission of
defeat. and that the militarists of
Germany and Austria never wanted
peace mere in their lives than they
do today.
They want to preserve as much OF
their property and personnel as they
can before social revolution and eco
nomic upheaval wrest from them the
same power they have always WELD
ed over the proletariat. Forcing the
hand of the governments of the CEN
trail powers is the irresistible craving
OF the masses for showdown with
the military masters who promised
them untold benefits out of trium-
plant war.
In these hours of defeat in the Bal
kans, with a retiring army on the
western front. and the huge Ameri-
can Army about ready to strike in the
vicinity Of Metz, with the great spring

map tells the story, the maneuver for
pence is the last move of the Hohen-
Zollerns and Hapsburgs to save them
selves from overthrow.

October (day).-There were live
lier artillery duels in the Pasubfo-
Pasina sector in the Montello region
and on the lower Piave river. Our
batteries dispersed moving troops
and transport and caused fires and
explosions in the enemy emplace-
ments.
Enemy patrols approaching odr
front lines on Col del Rosso were
driven back by intense hand bomb
ing.
The Italian and allied airmen were
very active. An aviation camp at
Egna, in the Upper Adige. was bomb
ed with incendiary shells. Huts.
hangers and three machines were
destroyed. The enemy's communica-
tons on the Asiago plateau were eff
fectively bombed.

RAILROADS HELPING
OUT THE GOVERNMENT

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan 3.--The rail-
roads are dong everything possible
to cooperate with the government
TO meet more fully the enormous duties
which have been placed uron them
and are acceding to all tie requests
of Secretary w. G. McAdoo, designated
by President Wilson as director gen.
eral of the railroads, according to
". A. Winburn, president of the Cen
trail of Georgia.
Mr. Winburn returned early yester-
day morning from New York from a
business trip, and was asked by a re-
porter how the railroads were operat.
ing under the regulations set out in
the proclamation of the president and
the orders of Mr.. McAdoo relative to
the operations of the railroads by the
government.
! Everything possible that human
ingenuity can do is being resorted to
TO speed up productions of the rail-
roads in order that the governments
demands may be speedily met" Mr..
Winburn said.
Where formerly the railroads work
ed individually and used their own
terminals they will now work to-
gether. Their equipment, terminals
and power will be used in common,
so that war orders and equipment
may be sent forward with the least
possible delay"
AS to whether government opera
ton would eliminate delays and re-
suit in an improvement in service, Mr..
Winburn was unable to say.
He stated that Mr. McAdoo's first
formal order sent to all the presi-
dents of the railroads had been re-
sent to all the employees of the Cen
trail.
The first formal order explained the
purpose of the presidents move and
was given with the idea Of speeding
up the freight movements by sending
it over the most convenient and di-
rect routes.

BOIL WEEv|L Is
AID To ALABAMA
SINCE COTTON GROWING MADE
UNPR0FITABLE THAT STATE
LEADS IN VELVET BEANS, PEA
NUTS AND potatoes.

COLUMBUS, aG, Jan. 3.-That the
boil weevil was a blessing in dis
guise for Alabama is shown in some
recent figures compiled by the Ala
bama Mark is Journal, periodical
that gives a comprehensive report of
agricultural activities in that state.
According to the current issue of the
Journal, Alabama leads the entire
world in the production of three
products. They are peanuts, sweet
potatoes and velvet beans. 1t will be
interesting to know that Alabama
took the lead in these respects since
the boil weevil has made cotton grow
ing an Improbable vocation for her
farmers.
That Alabama should take from
Virginia a distinction it has enjoyed
10 these many years Is source of
much qualification for Alabamia1s.
Up until this year, Virginia was rec
ognized as the greatest peanut state
in America, but this year 1918 finds
this distinction shifted to Alabama.
The peanut acreage in Alabama in
1917 was 100000. Texas was second
with 100000, and Georgia came third
with 100000.
The total value of the Alabama
crop is estimated at $33,7779, 582.
The velvet bean industry promises
to become one of the great agricul-
tural assets Ct Alabama .AAiready the
world is looking to that state for
big portion of it's supply. Just re-
Gently the Alabama Velvet Bean as
sociation, with headquarters in Mont
Conner, received an order for 100000
tons Of velvet bean meal, all to be
shipped to one state, The dairying
department OF the state OF Missouri
has called on Alabama to supply its
velvet bean meal, and in speaking of
this, the Alabama MARKETS. Journal
very aptly says; Alabama has been
looking to the great northwest for it's
feSd, and now Alabama is showing
the west few things"
