One of the very best pictures ever of fered on a Birmingham screen" is an opinion expressed of Wives of Men," at the Tgianon Monday Seldom has pie tureSGroused more general interest.
 Florence Reed and Walter Mills are the featured players as the wife and the hus- band. Their acting is said to be among the best ever seen in Birmingham.
 Wives of Men is an exceptional pie ture in story, in lavishness, in action.
 The special musical programme is 2 feature. wives of Men" is It human story, with great heart appeal The story is one of misunderstanding between man and wife, following a marriage in which the man loved another woman Money, social position and guardians were re- sponsible for the marriage. The minister had just pronounced them nnn and wife and the wife had just donned her travel :. ing dress when stealing up behind her husband she discovered in his hand the photograph of another woman. On the back of the photograph were the words ITO my husband, with love, from Grace. v Then followed years of misery for the wife and she fought with herself to decide whether to live her life without love or break the marital ties Then there comes a sudden turn in the story and the hus- band thinks the wife untrue.

 Following the receipt of the telegram which confirms the report of increases, it developed that the Postmaster General already has ordered these increases in Washington. Washington will pay ap- proximately 9 per cent more for tele- phone service in addition to the huge in- crease in long distance rates.
 Although MT. Burleson does not mention the date, it is considered certain the new rates will become effective not later than May 15. The reports indicate the Ire adjustment will put at least 25 per cent to phone bills in many towns and cities of the country.
 Small towns, using service of companies which have been released from govern ment operation, will not be affected by the new rates. The telegram to the Mont gomery bureau of The Age-Herald fol-

The determination of the German for eign office was based on misapprehension of the programme for the initial meeting of the German plenipotentiaries with the representatives of the peace conference. It had been understood through press statements that at the first meeting the German delegates would ..erely be hand , ed the text of the treaty, but would moi be permitted to discuss it's terms, and would be sent back to Germany to confer with the government and the national as- sembly, returning after d stipulated in- terval to Versailles for the actual discus sions.
 Under the circumstances, as Count Won Brockdorff-Rantzau. foreign minister, ex- plained to the Associated Press, the Ger man government considered it unneces- sary to send the entire peace delegation, more than 100 persons, headed by six plen- ipotentiaries, to Versailles merely to re- ceive the draft and return to Berlin with lit, and would therefore send smaller del egation and later proceed to Versailles for the actual discussions and the sigma ture of the treaty with the German gov ernment, then formally inquire through the armistice commission regarding the programme, and on the basis of the reply seemingly determined on the dispatch of the smaller delegation.
 PLANS ALTERED
 Meanwhile, however, the plans and pro- gramme of the council of four for discus sions with the Germans had been al- tered, in no small degree, apparently, on account of the fact that it was found a physical impossibility since the instruc- tions to appear on April p were sent to the German delegates to have the actual text of the proposed treaty ready by that date. This would necessitate communi- eating the determinations of the allied and associated governments to a certain ex- tent in outline, OF in less formal shape than the definite text.
 For this purpose, the presence of the plenipotentiaries charged with the peace negotiations was imperative, quite apart from the point of prestige that plenipoten- tiaries of the allied and associated pow CTS could only meet with German repre- sentatives of equal rank and dignity. Furthermore, it is planned to have such limited discussion of the peace proposals as President Wilson and his associate are prepared to admit. notably the modes of payment of the sums which have beer exacted as organizations and explanations on any points in the long complicated drafts of the treaty provisos which the German delegates may seek to begin with,

without awaiting the action of the gov ernment at Weimar. The text of the treaty and difficult points as they arise would in the meantime be communicated to Weimar.
 DELAY EXPECTED
 There is little expectation in compe- tent conference circles that it will be possible to finish the discussions with the German delegations and have the treaty signed within week of the date fixed for the first meeting. Indeed, the com pletion of the negotiations within such period was declared to be physical im7 possibility.
 It may be recalled that the convoca- tion of the Portsmouth peace conference was somewhat delayed by similar point regarding the competence of the credentials of the Russian delegates -sussian officials stated after President Roosevelt's invitation to the conference had been accepted by the Emperor that delegates were being sent merely to learn on what basis Japan was prepared to en- ter into discussions and that decision whether the negotiations would be con- tinued on such a basis would be taken at St. Petersburg, and not by the Rus sian representatives at Portsmouth.
 Japan immediately announced that she would not send representatives except to meet with fully accredited plenipotenti- aries authorized to negotiate peace, and after a second interview by the Ameri- can ambassador. George von l.. Meyer. with the Russian Emperor, it was re luctantly declared that the representa- tives would be plenipotentares A press representative, however, coined the epi- gram that a plenipotentiary was a rep resentative fully empowered to do as he was told

THE ROSARY" AT
 THE NEW MAJESTIC

"The Rosary as offered by The Mad. docks-Park Players last night at the New Majestic, proved to be one of the most beautiful plays that this popular com pany has offered this season.
 The play is an absorbing one, dealing with the efforts of former sweetheart to wreck the happiness of the woman who rejected him by bringing ruin upor her husband, but who is finally thwarted by the efforts of a priest who solves the mystery of the unknown enemy, and re unites the man and wife who have been separated by the villany of the rejected sutor.
 Myrtle Bigden. who plays a double role, taking the parts of Vera Wilton, Bruce Witons wife, and Alice Marsh, her sin gle sister, deserves praise for her clever work. In both roles she is a distinctly different woman, giving to each an en- tirely different personality. and to such an extent that one can hardly beleive that she is playing both characters.
 Meyer Kaufman, as Bruce Wilton, the atheist husband, is also clever in his part. and convincingly enacts very diff ficult role, while Earl Craddock as Ia ther Kelly, the priest. is one of the strongest and most lovable characters imaginable. His impersonation of pr,est is more than clever, for aside from his strong characterization, nature seems to have fitted him for the part.
 Henry Corneas, as Kenward Wright. who conspires to ruin the happiness of the Wiltons, is also strong in his part, and gave the necessary villiany to the plot to make it balance evenly and well.
 Lucy Wagner. as Kathleen O'Connor. the Irish nece of Father Kelly, was as bright and refreshing as a spring day. Berkley Haswell, as Skeeters Martin,

BURLESON'S TELEGRAM

Replying to your telegram. There will be no general increase in ali the local exchange telephone rates in the United States, but in order to produce revenue sufficient to cover the present abnormal high cost of operation and save the gov ernment from loss it has been found nec- essary to authorizke the readjustment Of some local rates in many of the exchanges throughout the country.
 BURLESON, Postmaster General
 The telegram to MT. Burleson asked him to please deny or confirm mnaediately well authenticated report you will in crease local phone rentals in the United States"
 The Alabama public service commission, which maintains it has the power to fix telephone rates in Alabama, has received no official information of the proposed readjustment of local rates in the United States.

 HAVE LOST so FAR
 The commission thus far has lost in ev- cry phase of its fight against the Post master General the Southern Bell Tele- phone and Telegraph company, the West ern Union Telegraph company. and the Postal Telegraph and Cable company. Only last week Chief Justice Anderson O. the supreme court ruled that the state or Alabama had no more authority to cut down telegraph rates than it had to cut down the rate of postage.
 Evidence that local mtes in Alabama will be readjusted is said to be shown in the series of advertisements being printed in Alabama newspapers by the telephone company, with the approval of the Post master General and director of the com pany The ads paint a picture of hare iuck'' and it is shown more money must be ra ised to meet the increased expenses of the company. These advertisements are being run in newspapers throughout the United States.
 The telegram from MT. Burleson is the first admission that the government IS operating the telephone concerns at loss since long distance rates were 1n- creased from 20 to 50 per cent in January.
 The public service commission members did not comment on what action would be taken when the rates are readjusted In the state. It is thought the commissions will wait for the decision by the supreme court before taking any other steps to protect the rights of the state.
