Russians Want Germans to Overthrow HOhenZOllerns
 and Bring About Peace

Petrograd March 3o-(Via London) The attempt of the Russian working classes to establish peace by appealing directly to the German people to over throw the Hohenzollern dynasty and re- construct the government of their coun- try by the means as adopted by the Rus sian revolutionists is likened by the Rus skaia Volta to President Wilson's peace proposal. The newspaper states that al though President Wilson's attempts end ed in failure, it exerted a tremendous in fuence upon the opinion of the world and served to strengthen the cause of which the entente allies are fighting. The paper continues:
 The second attempt to procure peace without further bloodshed-to bring the war to an end without victory for either side-whether successful or not, will not be in vain The appeal represents the desires of the masses of the Russian peo- pie If the German people comply, there can be mutual trust between the people of the two countries and in the name

A AMRTTLANCE COMPANY OFF TO MONTGOMERY
Mustered Back Into Federal Service
 on War Department Orders

The ambulance company of the Ala bama National Guard left for the mobil- ization camp at Montgomery yesterday afternoon after being remustered into federal service Thursday morning. The orders to the company came direct from the war department.
 The men assembled at the city hall armory about 1 o'clock and departed for Montgomery about 3:30 o'clock
 Some strength was added to the com pany during it's short time out of the federal service. Capt. R. F. Ashworth was busy for a few days in receiving recruits, and these were taken to Mont gomery with the former members yes- terday.
 Capt. J. E. Blackwell, U. S. A. was in charge of the remuster Thursday. The company was organized last June when the militia was called out by President Wilson, Captain Ashworth taking the leading part.
 Captain Ashworth stated yesterday that he expected to receive orders within the next few days to move to some point in the south, probably Charleston. No direct orders, other than to proceed to Montgomery, were in his hands.
 The company is composed of Brming- ham men entirely, all of whom volun- teered. It was mustered out of federal service last Monday upon it's return from the border, but was ordered back into federal service the same night while en route to Birmingham from Montgomery.

THE WAR SITUATION

British troops in France have occupied three more villages in the Somme region, and in the Champagne, where intensive rlghting has been in progress for sev- eral days, the French have recaptured the positions taken by the Germans on March 2S.
 German retirement on both sides of the Peronne-F'ins road because of strong British pressure is announced by Berlin. Two of the villages captured by the British, Fins and Sorelle-Grand. are on this road, while the other, Ruyalcourt, is three miles to the north and eight miles west of Bapaume. Field Marshal Haig's men, London says, after hard fighting also have gained ground west of Sorel-Le-G Grand in the direction of Heudcourt and toward the railroad run ming south from Marcoing. A German attack against the British positions south of Neuvile-Bourjenval between Ruyal- court and Fins, is reported by London to have been checked with loss
 Canadian troops have been in action east of Neuville St. Vaast. Berlin says that four attacks by a Canadian force were repulsed with heavy loss. while London claims the German lines were entered and prisoners taken after causal ties were inflicted on the defenders.

Tuscaloosa Holds Monster Patriotic Mass MeetinQ
 And ShoWs Fighting Spirit

A. S. VandeGraan and Dr. W. S. Patton. The address of Dr. Denny was a stirring appeal to the patriotism of the people and presented in masterly manner the courageous and logical way in which President Wilson had conducted the na- tion's international affairs.
 A striking feature of the meeting came when Dr. George Little, a veteran of the Civil war, who went out from Tuscaloosa in 1861, now almost 30 years of age, de- clared that he and all his comrades stood ready to shoulder a gun again or to rem der any other service which their coun- try might need.
 The overflow meeting in the streets in front of the courthouse was presided over by Howard l.. Smith In addition to MT Smith, addresses were made by John Me Queen, E. l.. Clarkson, M T. Ormond w. J. Monette Judge Henry Bacon Eos ter and T. B. Ward.
 A number of patriotic airs were played by the Tuscaloosa band and the crowd was aroused to the highest state of pa- triotic fervor, which was tempered only by the knowledge of the dramatic seri- ousness of the situation now confronting the country.

forts will have the effect to hastily con cluding the war. Observers of European conditions do not believe that Germany, at present. is on the eve of collapse It is true, these observers declare that the allies are driving the Teutons; it is also true that on the defensive. Germany can fer many months, endure the gruelling test German submarines continue to work destruction, and it is believed that Germany can continue to manufacture submarines for an indefinite period. The German navy is as strong as when the war began.
 |. GREAT EFFORT NECESSARY 1 The Washington view is that prodigious effort indefinitely sustained will be re- quired to crush Germany. This govern ment, it is believed, entertains an official lview to that effect Furthermore, it is inot believed that this government will lhe content with rendering only moral and financial assistance to the allies. It is believed that the United States if once engaged in the war, will rapidly prepare Iitself actively to aid in restoring peace through force of arms.
 THE PROBABLE PLANS On account of the rigid censorship ex- sting at present, none of the governments S plans are divulged. It is thought prob- able, however, that if war does prevail, ia call for 100000 volunteers will be is- sued, soon to be followed by another call for an identical number. Conscription may be resorted to. Panama may be made as strong as Gibraltar. Every in- dustry in the United States may be com mandeered flor the manufacture and t, transportation of war material.
 In other words. it is believed that the United States. if ever drawn into the em- broglio across the seas. will as soon as possible play a part in keeping with the
 best American traditions.

 For dwellings of three rooms a mini mum price of sS per year will be charged on flat rate, and where the flat rate is more than SIP and less than SIS mini mum of $3 per quarter will be charged If the flat rate is more than SIS a min imum of 50 per quarter will be charged The water company will lay the lines to the meters and maintain them. This has always been a live question in Besse- mer, as the company has never done this before. The present contract will ex- pire in 1884 and the new contract will give the water company the right to do business in the city of Bessemer 30 years from April 3, 1917.
 MT. Weakley, one of the officials of the water company, endeavored to ex- plain sections of the contract which the aldermen were unable to thoroughly un- derstand
 After a lengthy discussion the contract was re-referred to the waterworks com mittee and the matter will be taken up again at the regular meeting. The Board of Trade and the city of ficials will in all proba bility start move ment at once to secure one or more mill itary companies to guard industrial plants, mines and railroads, in the event the government details soldiers in camp to protect property. Two companies will be needed to guard the plants around Bessemer it is believed There are num- Der of furnaces, the by-product plant, the American tar product plant at Wood- ward, the Bessemer furnaces and rolling mill of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, number of pipe plants mines and other industries in this district.
 The plan is indorsed by Dr. George D. Waller who was for a number of years aptain of the Bessemer Rifles, and in talking gave an interesting reminis- cence of guard duty during the strike of 1894
 Three applicants for the navy were ex- amined and passed today by Dr. Will liam Bloomer, who is in charge of recruit ing here. The boys who enlisted were Sam Stamps, Archie Stamps of Bes- semer and Harvey Wi.,ston of Blocton.
