WAR MUST END THIS YEAR.
SLOGAN OF FRENCH PEOPLE
Not willing TO Renounce Victory,
But Demand IL Come In 1917
PEOPLE WEARY OF FIGHTING
Eagle Bureau,
So Rue Cambon.

10 IA
Paris, February 2S-The Verdun IN
niversary has come and gone, but so
far, nothing in the way of an offensive
for 1917 has taken place, and yer there
is a feeling in everybody's mind that
we are on the eve of great and decisive
events. Whether it will be the Ger
mans or the Allies that will start an
attack is not certain. What is beyond
doubt is that either n side or the
other must take the offensive, because
both here and in Germany, as well as
in England, according to recent visitors,
everybody agrees on n point-''the
war must finish this year"
These are the expressions On every
body's lips: "I'll not endure another
winter (Il faut en- finir cette an
nee.n at must e ver this year."
There have been wishes that the war
would end soon, ever since it was
starred, and guesses as to its duration
have been most frequent, though al
ways with some reservation expressed
or implied. This year it is definite.
"We must have it over wi h this year"
French Not willing 70 RenOunce
Victory
This does not mean that the French
people are willing to their
victory. By no means But it means
they are determined to have it before
the summer is over. THY have pa
tiently torne serious losses and they
have waited, not without some MUIR
murings among themselves, for Eng
land to get ready Now they are de-
cided that they will steel themselves
to one more great sacrifice, and also
that after over two years preparation,
England ought to be ready to believer
her maximum blow. France herself
has reached her best possible develop
meut. AS far as material things, such
as ammunition and heavy artillery are
concerned, NJ doubt sill more guns
could be made; but there are other fac
bOI6 blldb WOulu lnluttalCOuoiJ I'LL
ish, such as human reserves and the
aggressive spirit, so necessary for the
success of an offensive.
If the wal doss not finish this year
it is probable that President Wilson's
ideal of a "peace without victory"
would be realized. Both sides will be
so exhausted that they will be inclined
to talk together of a compromise that
would save the pride of each. There
are certain limits of nerve endurance
that cannot be exceeded. (Gustave
Herve, editor of The Victory, speaks
scornfully of the 'neurasthenic"
friends, but they are increasing in
number.)

Masses Do NOT Seek Conquest

The great mass of common, everyday
French people do not have any such
dreams. They say With truth that
this a defensive war. They have made
their great sacrifices to defend their
own country. They do not wish any
conquests. This war, they realize, they
had to fight, because they had an ag-
gressive neighbor, and they say they
are glad they have done it, because
otherwise they would have left ar aw-
full inheritance to their children, and it
is for the sake of their children that
they hope 10 obtain some kind of a
guarantee that this catastrophe will
not happen again.
1t is the French Socialists that form
the backbone of this attitude. They
have remained true to their pre-war
doctrine that they would fight to de-
fend their country, but they would not
be led Into war of aggression They
only wish the German Socialists had
remained equally true to their profess
sions.

Doctors Stand Amazed at PoDer
 of Bon- Opto to Make Weak Eyes
 Strong---According to Or. LetUis
Guaranteed to Strengthen Eyesght 50 Per Cent
 In One Weeks Time in Many Instances

of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by the use of this prescription. Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass liquid bathe the eyes two to four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation and redness will quickly disappear If your eyes bother you even little it Is your duty to take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have saved eyes in time.
 Note: Another prominent Physician to whom the above article was sumbitted, said: "Yes, the BonsOpto prescription is truly a wonderful eye remedy. It's con- stituent ingredients are well known to eminent eye specialists and widely pre- scribed by them have used It very successfully in my own practice on patients whose eyes were strained through overwork or misfit glasses. can highly recommend it in case of weak, watery, aching, smarting, itching, burning eyes. red lids blurred vision or for eyes inf1amed from exposure to very few preparations 1 feel should be kept on hand for regular use in almost every family" Bon-Opto, referred to above, is not a patent medicine or a secret remedy. It is an ethical prepar. ation, the formula being printed on the package. The manufacturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent in one weeks time in many instances or refund the money. It can be obtained from any good druggist and is sold in this city by Golfers Drug Store and other druggists.

TWILIGHT SLEEP
 FILMS AT STRAND

The management of the Strand theatre has through extraordinary circumstances successfully secured the famous motion picture clinic known as twilight sleep as discovered by Professors Gauss and Kronic of Frieberg. Germany, showing the German method of painless child birth.
 The films have been produced under the auspices of the Modern Motherhood league. under the personal direction of pr. Kurt E. Schlossingk. who brought this great invention to the United States.
 This unique production has been shown recently in almost every leading city of this country, and has caused great inter est everywhere.
 For four years Dr. Kurt E. Schlossingk was associated with Professors Kronig and Gauss, the discoverers of twilight sleep" and in June. 1914, he was sent to this country by the staff of the Grauen- klinik, at Frieberg, Germany. for the sole purpose of disseminating the knowledge he had acquired in rendering childbirth painless and to teach the gyneeologists

A Free Prescription You Can Have
 Filled and Use at Home

Philadelphia, Pa Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses. and those who wear glasses, will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there IS real hope and help for them. Many Whose eyes were falling say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore classes say they have thrown them away One man says, after using 1t. was almost blind Could not see to read at all Now I can read everything With out my glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pam dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like miracle to me: A lady who used 1t says The atmosphere seemed hay with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for To days everything seems clear. l can read even fine print without glasses. An other who used it says: l was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes which induced fierce head : aches I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work, and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope orsthe typewriting both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like a dim green blur to me. I cannot express my joy at what 1t has done for me.
 It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense

Frantic Exertion of Last Few Days Fails to Make
 Up for Time Wasted
LABOR LEGISLATION
 WAS NOT COMPLETED
Those Things Which Were Said to Be Necessary Were Laid Aside for Pet
 Measures of Factions
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, March 3.-(SpeciaL) Frantic exertion by Congress during the last several days of the session wasted in fruitless debate. As a re- suit, much that should have been done Is left undone. Pacifists, suffragettes, prohibitionists and politicians con tributed to national amusement and served to make the session remark ably interesting. But from a material standpoint-by virtue of the failure of Congress to enact that legislation which President Wilson declared to be necessary-the country is perforce disappointed.
 It is interesting to recall that those measures for which President Wilson spoke in December. for the passage of which he uttered a special plea, still have an abiding place on the calendar of unfinished business The pacifists consumed precious time in attempts to prevent preparedness legislation The suffragettes heckled and haggled and threatened and fretted. The pro- hibitionists abandoned all national is- sues for the sake of anti-liquor legis- lation. The politicians forsook the bus mess of the public in the mending of their own particular fences.
 In consequence, that which the Pres ident says must be accomplished will be compelled to await future action His antistrike bill is, for the present. dead His plan to increase the mem bership of the interstate commerce commission is temporarily forsaken.

APPRA|SMENT NOW
 BEING COMPLETED
New York Expert Has Fin ished Investigation of the
 Local Waterworks Co.

The appraisals of the plant of the Bir- mingham Waterworks company are near ing completion
 Julian Kendrick, city engineer, is in New York in conference with Nicholas s. Hill, who has completed his investiga- ton and is now compiling his report to the commission. But, according to James Weatherly, commissioner of public utili- ties, there Is scant likelihood of the re- port being available before March b.
 It had been hoped to have this ap- praisement ready by March l. but, of course, the slight delay will not interfere with any plans that the city might have had.
 If the report of the waterworks com pany is filed at the same time that of Nicholas Hills is placed before the com mission, it is possible that some definite conclusion will be reached as to the price which the waterworks company will ask in event the city desires to operate the waterworks as municipal institution.

CALOMEL TODAY.
 SICK TOMORROW Dose of nasty >calomel makes you sick and you lose a
 days work

Ca1omel salivates! It's mercury. Cal ome1 acts like dynamite on sluggish liver. When calomel comes into con tact with sour bile it crashes into it. causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dan gerous calomcl. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If You take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseatcd tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone yor will wake up feeling great. full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleas ant and safe to give to children; they like lit.--Adv.

 PLAN TO REDUCE COST
 Here is how she proposes to reduce 2 the high cost of living: It's worth a treatise on political economy. It beats a government commission report. It's so simple that few will take the trou- ble to follow her programme:
 You must eat less, waste Hess and produce more"
 Now, because have faith in her as a woman and believe in her power to help, I have persuaded her to make a tour through Jefferson county and some of those on it's borders in or der that she may tell her story to those who have not as yet had the pleasure of hearing it.
 For the next two weeks Mrs. Mathis will go in and out among the people as an evangel of better farming and an advocate of reducing the high cost of living by adopting common sense methods within the reach of every man and woman in the state.
 The AgeHerald in securing Mrs Mathis for a two weeks tour feels that it's the best way to help the people of Jefferson county solve the problem of the high cost of living Mrs. Mathis undertakes the work be- cause she believes that The Daily and Weekly Age-Herald is honestly trying to help better living conditions in Alabama and help farmers find a better market for their produce.

PREPARING FOR WAR

The chief service of Congress in the session just closing consisted in prelimi- nary steps which will result in putting this country on the map of the military and naval world. For present and fu- ture requirements of the navy a sum approximatng $500 000, GOO was appropriat- ed For the army a sum approximating $500 000,000 was authorized This money it is anticipated, will in the end make the navy of the United States second among world navies, and will build up the standing and supplementary army of the nation until it will be formidable enough to battle, if necessary. against the best trained legions of the globe.
 In warlike sense, Congress authorized the President to protect American prop erty and lives by armins ships and con- voying them across the seas. and appro- priated $100, 900 to be used in securing such protection History. It is probable will credit Congress as a result of the foregoing, with having taken preliminary and formal steps in the clash with Ger many which is regarded as inevitable.
