The Frankfurter Zeitung admits

ALABAMA ID GET RECOGNITION OF
 HEALTH SERVICE
For First Time in History State Is to Be Accorded Recognition by U. $.
 Health Department
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, September z. Special. )--F'or the first time in the history of the country, the United States public health service is about to recognize Alabama.
 Dr. S. w. Welch of Talladega, state health officer, after~a conference of a week with government officials, an nounces that such phases of the model law" as are necessary for the collec. ton of complete vital and mortuary sta- tistics will he adopted and that as a re- Heretofore, in <he tabulation by the government of vital and mortuary sta tstics Alabama was never considered, because Alabama did not proceed in col lecting it's statistics in manner judged by the government efficient. All of the handicaps have been removed and here after Alabama will be amongst the se- lect states of the union
 Dr. Weleh announced also that October l the government will mail it's check for s23 900 to the treasurer of Alabama, this sum representing an allotment to Alabama in the campaign for the control of intimate diseases. The state board of health has been authorized to employ the necessary office force for the prose cution of this work.
 The government anticipates that the state, after July i. 1919, will appropriate for the completion of the work sum equal to that appropriated by the gov ernment. pr. Welch anticipates CO., operation on the part of the legislature with his department and is prepared to perform great things for health in Ala bama. In this connection he said:
 T am so confident of receiving a min inlum appropriation of $150,000 for pub lie health work in Alabama by the leg islature that I am working out with the advice of the international health board and the United States public health service a plan for the dsburse- ment of this money, beginning Janu- ary l."
 It is understood that Dr. Welch has iE mind the conversion of new and va rious facilities for the prevention, treat ment and cure of diseases in Alabama. As result Alabama, for the first time will be actually fighting systematically and scientifically for the preservation of life.
 While in Washington Dr. Welch con ferred with the council of national de- fense regarding the details necessary to be worked out in the mobilization of the medical resources of Alabama in the as- sembling of the medical personnel for the army.

NEAR BEER ALSO
 PUT UNDER BAN Manufacturers of Substi- tutes Affected Same as Brewers of Real Beer
0By Associated Prexs.)

washingtno, September 7-Manufac- turers of near beers and substitutes for beer, which have developed a flourishing business in prohibition territory, it was officially explained today, are just as much affected by the decision to cut off brewing of beer as those who make the actual beverage. Millions of dollars have been invested in the business.
 One of the largest breweries in the country recently erected an addition al $1,00o,000 plant solely for the brew ing of this beverage.
 The principal uses breweries can be converted to are manufacturing of ice, cold storage, making yeast for bak- ing, rolling barley and grinding grain for mill feed. All these purposes would likely be considered essential to the war or to the civil nation.
 Manufacture of other beverages of the so-called soft variety some months ago was curtailed 50 per cent by the food administration, as sugar conservation measure. Further cur tailment of the manufacture of such beverages and mineral waters are under consideration, and may take the form of again reducing supplies of sugar, fuel, materials for contain CTS, and food products and limiting transportation facilities.

Enemy Pushed Back To
 Positions Of March 21|

Paris, September 7.-The allied troops the run and as a result of yesterdays operations, have pushed them nearly back to the positions they occupied March 21, when the first big enemy offensive of the year was launched. The Germans still enjoy a little leeway in the Vermand region, and before St. Quentin, but else where they are extremely close to if not actually in their old lines. The rupture of the right-hand hinge of the German line at Peronne was an awkward blow for the enemy, but as long as the left hand hinge held on the Soissons plateau, he could play for time by pirouetting around it and clinging to a temporary line on the heights between the Disc and the Somme. The moment that General Mangin knocked down the defense of the Ailette, however, that makeshift combi- nation became useless, for the range of the hills on the Disc and Somme front was turned on the side of Chauny and Tergnier.
 Then the enemy was obliged to return immediately to the solution of similar problem adopted by Won Hindenburg first in the winter of 1917, a retirement to the half finished canal, on the front from St. Quentin to Cambrai and the line of the Canal Du Nord and he lost no time in executing his plan.
 The French progress yesterday in fol- lowing up the enemy was rapid, as may be seen from the fact that the troops en-

How he Judiciary or
 The County Are Spending
 Their Summer Vacations
By CHARLES H. MANDY

prominent citizen, recently returned from Washington, where he had been for several weeks, partly on business and partly on pleasure, stated that among the many things that impressed him while there was the fact that many of the nations greatest men are, as he ex- pressed it. "just like folks at home when taking their intervals of recreation and pleasure.
 And so it is with many of our own people who are in positions of trust and responsibility, for when they are turned loose they can "cut up like a bunch of happy schoolboys. In this connection we are accustomed to regard the mem bers of our judiciary as men of much dignity and sound judgment, and so they are--when on the bench-but when off duty they can enjoy themselves with the zest of a sailor on shore leave or sol dier on furlough hon1e
 While, under the law, one of the judges is on duty at all times during the sum- mer vacation at the courthouse, yet by dividing the work, they have consider able time for relaxation from their judi ciaI duties and from all accounts are making the most of their vacation.
