Allgood, will be checked up for the annual report, prob ably one of the most interesting of many years The report will not be available for about three months, the auditor desiring, however, to have il available for the beginning of the legis- lature in January.
 Although Alabama still owes approx imately $2.00o.000 the report will show
 a large amount has been saved from
 the income. The report for 1917-1S
 showed a total saving of $140,000. and this years saving probably will be greater.
 Because of the plentiful supply of
 money in the slate the auditor does not
 believe the tax payers will delay long

U. s. AND GERMANY . REACH AGREEMENT
 ON OFFICERS PAY
Decided to Pay Regular Monthly Sum to Officers Held Prisoners of War
 in Both Countries

Washington. September 2S--The United States and Germany. through neEc tiations conducted by the Spanish ambassador at Berlin. have agreed to pay stated monthly sums to all offi- oers held as prisoners of war. This agreement may be revised by the con- ference on the general subject of pris- oners of war now in progress at Berne. Switzerland
 The agreement followed negotia- tions lasting nearly year. Germany declined to pay American officers such salaries as they receive from the United States, while the American government was not willing to accept for it's officers the relatively paltry pay of the Germans.
 The compromise finally agreed upon provides that first and second lieutenants and officers of corre- spending grade in the German army shall be paid $50 marks. or $SS.35 a month, and captains and officers of higher grade of either army shall be paid 400 marks or $95.25 a month. Of- ficers not included in either of these two classes shall be paid s55.56 month.
 The rates of pay apply without re- gard to whether officers arc active officers, officers of the reserve grade. or retired These rates apply also to officers who are interned as civilian prisoners In either country and whose ranks are certified.
 German officers held prisoner by the United States were paid regularly until November, 1917, when the gov- ernment learned that American off cers held prisoners by Germany were not being paid.
