IS TOPIC ON EVERY TONGUE IN CITY Next Sundays Age-Herald Is Looked Forward
 to All Over the
 State r fEXMs

Everybody in Birmingham is talking ton. which will appear in next Sundays issue and each Sunday thereafter. Tho publication of the advertisement of this section of The Age-Herald last Sunday has created more comment. perhaps. than anything in newspaper circles of the south in years.
 On every street car, on every street everywhere. this new feature of The Age Herald Is the topic of conversation. Those who have seen copies of rotogravure work in the New York papers have been volun- tary advertisements of The Age Herald s enterprise. They have spread the good news of how beautiful the work is; of how exoellently pictures show up in the section. in many cases being even more striking and more artistic than the origi- nal photograph itself, and these, together with the advertisement in last Sunday s Age-Herald, have created a real sense- ton.
 Newsdealers have begun to receive or ders and one independent dealer, who has several carrier boys in the eastern sec ton of the city, reported that, he was be- sieged with orders for next Sundays Age Herald. Those persons who are not now subscribers to The Age Herald are giv- ing their orders so as to include the Sun day issue. Hundreds of them will sub scribe for the paper after seeing the beau t.ful photographs in next Sundays paper -phc tographs of people and events that are of more than the usual interest. These photographs will be well worth framing and preserving. They will be an orna- ment in any home.

sand yards with the first rush. Mostly they met the Germans coming from their dusouts and 1t was hand to hand when the Germans did not yield.
 As soon as they had yielded they were started back toward the British rear Tor in the maze of traverses where rifles and bombs are lying about loose prisoners may soon renew tho fray The next day a faint rumble like that Of human voice came from A pile of earth and 1t was found that one of the high explosives had closed the door of dugout. The occupants were rescued alive.
 On Edge of Crater
 When an officer and some men came 10 the edge of the mine crater thev found nearly hundred Germans in the bottom of 1t where they had taken cover from the bombardment The British looked down at the Germans and the Germans looked up at the British. As one of the men said the surprise was mutual but the Germans were little the more surprised of the two. The British had bombs In their hands. All they had to do was to stand pack and toss the bombs into the crater.
 chucking bombs into dugout when the occupants will not surrender is one of the commonest proceedings in the course of taking a trench.
 Well give ourselves up," said a Ger man officer starting up the wall of the crater. You've got us"
 As the Germans came up some of the British shook hands with them, and soon they were marching along a road in the midst of a German shell fire smoking cigarettes given them by their captors. Meanwhile 1t was stab and thrust in other places till British or German was down.
 Rushing up the traverses the British drove the Germans before them with bombs gaining more ground. In addi : ton to their own bombs they used the Germans. One German prisoner showed me how to use them," said British homb thrower. He did it instinctively when he saw I was fumbling with 1t. That was very helpful of him. You had to pull string on top before you made the throw. They seemed to be first rat bombs"
 Once over the Generalization caused by the crush of the bursting shells iron, the British artillery concentration in their ears the Germans out of their dugouts began resisting with bombs and the British running short had to fall back traverse by traverse pursued by the Germans. thus losing some of their gain before more bombs were brought up from the rear. This had to be done under gusts of shrapnel bull lets. for now the German guns were giving the British supports all they had to give and as fast as they could. The struggle proceeding in the midst of the scream and burst of projectiles. Twice one of the sergeants crossed the zone back to the support trenches bring ing supplies of bombs before he was killed. Others were at the same work and others killed and wounded but they got enough up to hold 1200 yards of trench.
