9-YEAR-OLD LETTERS REMAIN UNDELIVERED
Mail Posted In 1914 For Germany
 At Last Reaches Home

BERLIN Nov. 10.-(By Associated s.)-There will soon be delivered in Germany a consignment of letters posted nine years ago in one of the South Sea Islands. Most of the men who wrote these communications are dead, and many of the addresses will be hard tC find, so much have condi- tions changed in Germany in the last decade. In view of all the cir cumstances, stamp collectors are hopeful of getting some interesting specimens.
 When the German Pacific cruiser squadron under Admiral Won Spec. which kept the shipping world guessing for the first four months of the great war. put into Ponape, one of the Caroline Islands, in Au- gust of 1914, the sailors filled the local post office with letters to friends and relatives back in the fatherland. Then they sailed away to what was ultimately their last fight they went down before the English off the Falkland Islands in December
 The letters never left Ponape. The Japanese got hold of them ulti- mately. and not long ago turned them over to the German postal author ities. Each co mmunication bears a special stamp reading: Mail of the Pacific cruiser squadron of August, 1914"

 MOVIE BOOK WEEKtOF GIRLS IDENTITY
Chief Deputy Will Attend Hearing Of Murder Charge Against Accused

Chief Deputy Sheriff Henry S. Hill Saturday stated that he was sure the girl mysteriously murdered in Tus- caloosa about 10 days ago had been identified. He would not divulge her identity, saying that making 1t known might interfere with the gath ering of additional proof against the person he believes is guilty of the murder.
 Chief Hill said Saturday that he probably would go to Tuscaloosa Monday to attend the preliminary hearing of Alfred Winchester, charged with the murder He would not say what effect the evidence he has gathered would have on the outcome of this trial, but he appeared confi- dent that it would remove much of the mystery that has surrounded the case since the charred body of the girl was found in the ruins of a burned negro church nearly two weeks ago.
