CIVILIZATION" IS WONDERFUL DRAMA Poetry and Strength Blend ed in Battle Story Told
 on the Screen

The author of the story of "Civill- zation." showing at the Strand, has nrovided MT. Ince with a wonderful dollars and which took over 10000 people to work in. Nowadays the peo- pie who make moving pictures com plain openly that they cannot get good stories for their pictures. If the stan dard of civilization be taken as a thing to keep in view we cannot sym pathize with the purveyors of the most popular entertainment of the world. For the story of "Civilization' is one of the few that is of universal inter est. It is really a screen synopsiza- titon of the teachings of the New Tes- lament, or the love of ones neighbor.
 Mr. Ince shows war on land and sea In all it's naked brutality and coarseness. It is the war that the newspaper correspondents so graph : cally told us about and that photog- raphers have so faithfully photo graphed when they had the chance these last 24 months. It is difficult ina gining anything more shocking ex- cept it be the real thing-grim war it. self as it is being waged with guns, aircraft noxious gases and all the other dreadful weapons of murder by "hired assassins."
 There are some splendidly tender and touching passages in this film. which show that in the words of Shakespeare There is some soul of goodness in things evil after all When the lurid drama ends the mas terly touch of MT. Ince brings down his curtain, so to speak, on the restora- ton of peace and the return of hap piness to the once bloodstained fields.

 IN EVENT OF WAR
Number of Birmingham Men Would Be Called Into
 Service at Once

In event of war, it is expected that there will be a geater and more press ing demand for sailors than for soldiers, owing to the activity of the first line of defense.
 During the summer of 1916 more than 10 Birmingham men went upon the civilian naval cruise These men will be called into service immediately in event of war. The Naval Training association has sent telegram to the Secretary of Navy pledging it's support and offering to have it's 70 local enrolment commit tees placed at disposal of the navy de- partment.
 Ernest M. Britain, Jr., of the First National bank, chairman of the local en- rollment committee, made the announce ment yesterday. In the event of war the Birmingham committee will serve as an auxiliary recruiting service for the navy and will seek to get men to enlist either for the naval reserve or the regular service.

1 In other words, Alabama Is facing a
 long dry spell" The "bone-dry'' provision of the fed eral postoffice appropriations bill was
 originated by Senator Reed, local op- tionist, in the Senate. For that reason
 there has been fear that it was an effort to injure the cause of prohibi- ton.
 Local prohibition leaders, however, say the bluff was called and that the liquor
 men cannot make the nation too dry to suit them.
 My opinion is that the amendment will not hurt the cause of prohibition in Ala bama," said George H. Estes. 1T know it is a favorite charge of the liquor people that the prohibitionists do not want real prohibition.
 There has been a wonderful change In sentiment in Alabama In the recent
 past and this state is now ready for the bone-dry stage q am simply delighted with the pas
 sage of the new law. It will help the cause in Alabama, and it will be beneficial to the dry forces all over the nation. It
 will also teach the liquor forces that the dry side will call their bluff any time they are ready to make one.'
 Fred M. Jackson said: "The new law was unexpected, but is entirely satsfac- tory to me. The provision allowing small

Prohibition leaders of Alabama were pleased yesterday with the news that the state was to become ''bone dry"
 Furthermore, the best opinion last night was that the new drastic provision of the federal government will become ef- fective just as soon as the President signs the bill, which is expected to be within the next few days.
 When he signs the measure it means that no more liquor for beverage pur- poses can be shipped into Alabama under any circumstances.
 Furthermore. the law provides that nc liquor advertising matter shall go through the mails into dry territory.

LAWRENCE IS GLAD

To the Editor of The Age e-Herald. Am confident new bone-dry law will help Alabama in improvement in moral and economic conditions.
 At first 1t may seem to hurt the cause of prohibition, but 1t is real prohibition, and what we have been fighting for all these years, and no cause can be permanently injured by attaining it's ideal.
 I am glad for this step nearer the end of the fight.
