The wonder full people will astonish and amuse in fashion that will not be forgotten. H. C. Faulkner, the monologuist, The Man Who Looks Like Woodrow Wilson, . promises some snappy up-to- the minute conversation that will be pleasing fea- ture to the bill, and O'Neil and Gala- gher in songs, sayings and some dancing will add to the value of the show, as will be three pretty Ruby Sisters who are classed with the best instrumentalists in all vaudeville. A surprise act is on the bill that will make the vaudeville portion of the show worth while. The picture feature will be Alice Brady in the exclu- sive first run World photodrama, Ma ternity.' The big fire scene in this pic- tu~e was filmed in the dead of night so that the special desired effects might be secured. It is said that Maternity" is thrilling and thoroughly expressing production in which Alice Brady has a wonderfully effective role. And it is Miss Bradys newest production. There will be first run comedy and special reels to make up a complete show.
 Caesar Rivol, the world famous pro- tean artist, will head the bill that comes Monday
 The Bijou will not be operated on Sun day in the future.

The announcement from Washington In yesterdays Age-Herald that the Ma tional Guard of Alabama is expected to contribute a regiment of artillery to the nations forces has attracted renewed at tention to the status of Battery and Battery A of Birmingham.
 These two batteries. containing mum Der of the best known and most popu- lar young men in Birmingham, saw serv- i've on the bo9der, and have been much in the limelight. They are not now in service and recent rumors have been to the effect that they were to be mus tered out of service next month.
 Their uncertain status has been par ticularly hard on the members, many of whom want active service, if not in these batteries then in some other or ganizatio Many of the members were particularly eager to take the officers training course at Fort McPherson, but it is understood that only eight men out of the entire two batteries were ad- mitted to take this training.

BATTERIES A AND c MAY AGAIN GO INTO SERVICE
Alabama Is to Contribute Regiment of Artillery to Army, and It Is Felt That Present Bat teries Will Be Necessary Nucleus for
 Helping Train the New Men

Capt. c. P. Noland of Battery C Is now at Fort McPherson. Junior First Lieutenant William M. Rogers is taking the officers course at this camp, while Senior First Lieutenant S. II. Richardson is at the Fort Oglethorpe camp. The other commissioned officers of Battery C, Second LieutenaRts Ebert Jemison and A. A. Adams, Jr., are in Birming- ham.
 officers of Battery A are Captain L. S. Dorrence. First Lieutenant A. Brumage. First Lieutenant Morgan, Second Lieu terant R. L, Putnam and Second Leuten- ant Davis
 Since the dispatch of yesterday that Alabama must organize full regiment of artillery the boys of these batteries feel that they may again be ordered into the service In fact, they point that the war departments policy is to use existing units in enlarging the guard in order that the older and more experienced men may form nucleus for the new bodies. It is believed that it would be especially inconveuient to organize the artillery regiment unless the experienced men arc used as basis upon which to train the new men.
