Rupprecht. of Bavaria. is in complete
disagreement with General Luden-
dorff. The Crown Prince, it is said,
opposed the last German offensive,

retire but the German command fear
ed the discomfort that this step would
awake in Bavaria.

Recovery of Kinard
 Is Now Expected

Russellvilla, August 23-Lon Kinard, the man who was shot by officers at his home near Phil Campbell, is showing con- siderable improvement and doctors say that his recovery is almost assured. Kim ard was shot several times when officers in search of slackers, approached his house and Kinard. claiming to have not recognized them as officers, ran from the house and failed to halt when told to do so.
 The most reliable information ia re- gard to the shooting is the testimony of today that he arrived at Kinard's howe a few minutes after the shooting, while the officers had gone for a doctor, and that Kinard's wife and the minister, who was a guest at Kinards home, both stated to him that .sKinard had done it himself" that the deputies told him to put up his hands, and instead of doing this Kinard ran out the door, The man also stated that Mrs. Kinard said that if Kinard had kept his seat or had not run, the officers would not have fired on him." It also developed today that a number Of people in the neighborhood were opposed to the, officers looking for the slackers.

REGULATED PRODUCTION

An important paper was read at the Red Cross convention held last week in New Orleans from which the following paragraphs are quoted:
 Each chapter will be asked by di- vision office to produce definite quanti- ties of certain articles. These quotas will be changed from time to time as estimates of, requirements are received from national headquarters...... The wo- men of the country must expect to re- spond to a sudden change in orders, and
 to accept irregularity in supplies as
 these are a necessary outcome of war
 demands and war conditions. It is pre-
 cisely this ability to respond to the situ- action, be it what it may, no matter how
 confusing to previous plans and ideas,
 that makes the Red Cross a dependable and efficient force for winning the war;. This is war of such tremendous pro- portions that it seems almost impossible ever to figure on having too much of anything connected with it's conduct, par ticularly of those things which the Red Cross chapterSproduce If there was no limit to the amount of raw material available in the country, and the ship ping space which might be used to trans port the completed articles to the point of need, the policy of almost unlimited production might be justifled But there is a limit and a very definite limit to resources, both of. material and transpor-

Flyers in Vicinity of Columbus AL ready Making Photographs of
 Suspicious Looking Places

Columbus, Miss, August 2S.-According to a report now in circulation here, air planes are to be used to locate numerous moonshine stills which are said to be operating in the territory contiguous to Columbus. Complaint has been made that aviators from Payne Field, which is To- cated near West Point, are securing liquor from these stills, and government officials have announced 0 determina- tion to put them out of business.
 Officers have for some time been en- deavoring to break up the stills, but as they are located in remote places it is exceedingly difficult to find them. It is said however, that nothing escapes the sweep of the airplane. and, according to information from an unofficial though thoroughly reliable source, flyers have already begun to make photographs of mysterious looking places which might be expected to be the workshops of moonshiners.
