BONUS PLANS NOT
 YET DETERMINED
Expected That Each Individual Con-
 pany Will Decide Matter

The announced bonus, which the coal operators will give the 10000 mine work CTS of the state on account of the lex traordinary living conditions" has not been determined, as yet However, tthe operators are considering what sum the miner shall be given to increase his wage.
 Unless something develops that is now unforeseen, the bonus will be determined rot by mutual agreement, but by each individual company Furthermore, the bonus will be larger to those mine work CTS who are forced to buy their own supplies, in these days when the prices are advancing daily.
 That the majority of the mine operators will give bonuses to the miners is cer- tain. James l.. Davidson. secretary of the Alabama Coal Opera tors association stated that he had been assured by a majority that they would join in tht movement to help the miners combat sue cessfully with the high cost of living.

ROTARIANS SEE PRIVATE
 SHOWING OF WAR BRIDES"

War Brides" with the great Nazi- mova, had it's premiere last night at the Ralto to the Rotary club, the guests of Messrs Mudd & Colley.
 More than 800 Rotarians and their fami- lies sat for more than two hours under the magic spell of Nazimovas artistry.
 War Brides" is a wonderful drama, wonderfully presented and marvelously executed It is fawless in it's direction. And Nazimova has registered her mag netism on the screen. She reaches out from the film and grips you with the tremendous theme she interprets.
 The play is a protest of motherhood against bearing children to re1uvenate an army.
 You see king being conveyed by mo tor from one battle front to another Ills retinue and members of his military stan surround him. Then the picture flashes to thousands of women, hundreds with babies in arms, led by Nazimova, rush in confusion down a road to the crossing of two lanes of military communication over which the monarch must pass, Here the grave ruler comes face to face With the women of his country demanding, through Joan, their leader, that peace be restored to the land. And then comes the thrilling climax that is indescrip- able.
 In War Brides" you see Sons of all ages taken from their nome environment and projected into combat. Women urged into marriage for the task of repopulating land being devastated lof it's men. Women forced to perform all or the labor tasks of men. . Women constituting the larger part or

RUSSIANS ARE NOT AFRAID OF
 VOW HINDENBURG

Pertrograd, March 25.-(Sunday, Via London, March 26.)-The news that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg was planning a campaign against Petrograd was received at the capital with surprisingly little con- sternation, evoking rather a spirit of calm and unshakeable confidence in the loyalty of the troops and the ability of the army to protect the city from the new danger.
 If German calculations are based upon the supposed demoralizaton of the sol diery, or more than a transient defection of the troops at the front from their usual conspicuous discipline and loyalty to their commander. these calculations are plainly in error.
 It is undeniable that during the first days following the revolution the extreme radical and socialist element aimed at taking advantage of the overthrow of the authority by sowing further dis content among the workingmen and sol diers.
 The cloudy state of mind of the peasant population which bewildered by the new vista of freedom and equality and hav- ing had little experience with liberty of any sort imagined that it meant relaxa- tion of every kind of authority and dis cipline, made the propaganda of the agi- tators easy at first.
 But the prompt measures taken by the government and Duma delegations re- moved whatever danger lay in that di- rection. Telegrams have been received from every portion of the front affirm

German Women in the War

Carl l.. Schurz, in Leslie's.
 Books could be written and no doubt will be written. about the part that the women are playing in this war I do not refer so much to the thousands who are nobly devoting their lives to nursing the wounded in the hospitals and at the fronts. Their praises are constantly be- ing sung and cannot be sung enough I am thinking chiefly of those who quietly and modestly are taking the places or the men in attending to some detail of the complex machinery that keeps their
 country going. I saw only very little of what the German women are doing, but I saw it in a way most naturally to impress itself upon the visitors notice.
 When travelling from Berlin to Ham burg a woman sold me my ticket, anoth- CT weighed and checked my baggage. another stood at the entrance to the plat form and punched my ticket before boarded the train. On arriving at my des-
 tination a woman cab driver drove me to my hotel In Hamburg more than In

 In the electric suburban train service between Hamburg and the outlying dis tricts women do everything. They are stationmasters engineers, conductors. Their high pitched voices ring through the station with military crispness when the trains arrive and leave. All or this, of course is only one branch Of their ac- tivities. I am told that they have taken the place of men in almost every field of employment, and that in the work shop. the factory, the postoffice, the tele- graph office women have released the l former operators to military duties

ing that the army can be relied upon to do it's utmost to defend the country.
 M. Rodzianko, president of the Duma, received a delegation from the army. which declared:
 "All officers and soldiers will defend the Duma to the last drop of their blood. They will faithfully obey the provisional government and will strike the Germans to the last man"
 Freedom from the censorship already has had a salutary seffect in permitting the truth to be published about the new danger from German attack, without the usual accompaniment of extravagant rumors which in the past made news more alarming than the truth itself. The result is that without minimizing the danger to the country, the press has ac- cepted the declaration of the Minister of War quietly and without alarm. The Beth says editorially:
 ''It is the people who are fighting the enemy and not the government. There fore. hiding nothing from our readers, we say defiantly and clearly, that danger is threatening our northern front The enemy is preparing to crush ou1 valiant army. which for two years has defended the roads to Petrograd.

UNION MEN OFFER SERVICES ID NAVY

Local Union Demands That Trades Council Resolution Be Rescinded - VOlun-
 teer Services as Asked

A demand for retraction of the reso- lutions adopted by the Birmingham Trades Council at the meeting Sunday afternoon was made by the Boiler makers union at the meeting held last night. A resolution was adopted by the boilermakers calling on the Trades Coun- cil to rescnd it's action, setting forth the fact that the action Sunday was unconstitutional and illegal.
 As if to further show their disapproval of the action of the Trades Council, resolutions which demanded that all those of wealth and then those of mod crate means should be exhausted in war before any of the members of unions of other working people were called on to serve the nation, g members of the Boilermakers' union present at the meet ing last night offered their services to Uncle Sam. In response to a request from Secretary of the Navy Daniels that boilermakers volunteer to work in the navy yards of the government so that the construction of warships and ether vessels should be hastened, the members of the union responded readily.
 The call for volunteers was presented to the meeting in a communication which was read to the local by w. B. Humph- ries, business agent, and although only 80 members were present 2S of them of- fered their services without hesitation. It is declared that of the hundred or more members not present equal pro portion will tender to the navy depart ment their services in the construction of ships In the various navy yards.
 In discussing the action of the Trades Council it was pointed out that the American Federation of Labor, with which the Trades Council is affiliated, had already gone on record as being in hearty accord with the President in any action he might take to protect the na- tions honor and therefore, regardless of what any member of the local council might think, the resolutions were illegal and unconstitutional.

 Here's the Lawn Dope"-Go to it right now!
 (By Mary Nicholson, superintendent of parks and playgrounds
 In making your lawn rememb CT that cherty soil especially needs a larger amount of fertilizers-a layer four inches in depth is none too much to work into the soil. After the ground has been prepared by cultivating and fertilizing, then it should be brought to a perfectly true and even surface with a steel toothed rake re- moving all stones, large clods and rub bish that will not pass through the teeth of the rake. The ground is now ready to plant or SOW, and here is an important fact to keep in mind.
 BE SURE YOU HAVE SEEDS ADAPT
 ED TO SOIL.
 Bermuda is the best grass to use un- less the lawn is quite shady, in which case the Bermuda will not thrive and blue grass or some of the standard ever green lawn mixtures must be uss<. The evergreen grasses would be preferable to the Bermuda if they would continue to thrive in the sun. This they will not do however, requiring more or less renewal each season, while Bermuda, being na- tive and pre-eminently a sun grass will thrive under the most adverse conditions. If Bermuda is selected, secure the roots if dormant or if the grass is growing. Free it carefully from all other grass and weeds and separate the cleaned roots or grass into punches about three or four inches square.
 HOW TO PLANT.
 Open parallel rows 12 inches apart and about inches deep across the lawn at right angles to the slope, if the surface is steep enough to wash, put the grass or roots in these rows, placing bu'Sches at regular intervals of 6 inches.

 Herbert Brenon pays this tribute to Marion Craig Wentworth, author of War Brides:'
 "I feel very certain that only woman with her finer sympathies could have written War Brides Mrs. Wentworth has done superb thing and this pie ture, with the wonderful Nazimova places the author of War Brides at the very top among writers for the screen.
 ITO my mind War Brides is the big 'gest sustaining argument for equal suf- frage for women ever done in motion pie lures or the drama. On the stage this remarkable story would have been kept between the four walls of home or sev- eral homes. In motion pictures we have made it social, domestic and economic panorama that clutches the hearts of humanity.
