Now it is reported that the Belgian prisoners
of war in Germany are suffering great privations,
and appeal is made to American sympathy in their
behalf. The people of this country have responded
and are responding most generously to every call
for aid. but at the rate at which is spreading
horror and devastation it is PLAIN that the limit of
their resources viii have been reached before the
conflict ends. Neutral unofending Belgium has been
laid waste and this country eagerly does its share
toward feeding and clothing her starving and home
less millions Probably they will do their best to
aid the unfortunate prisoners of war but inevitably
this must prove too great task for them. Civiza-
ton and humanity demand that these prisoners be
provided for By other means than the charity of a
neutral nation on the other side of the world

Mexico is, evidently the brink of another
revolution, or, perhaps, two three of them. This
line the outbreak finds the United States with an
army on Mexican soil 1t is reasonable to expect
therefore, that our Mexican policy is to shape
itself into something definite. If army is not
withdrawn sooner later, it would seem inevitable
that it will be called upon to fight though in what
cause is not yet apparent. Certainly Mexico gives
promise of being no place for an armed force on

The world would be glad to accept Secretary of
War Garrisons view that the reports of casualties
of the in Europe have been greatly exaggerated
but unhappily there is too much indsputabe evidence
of appalling slaughter. Take England's loss of Off
GERS alone, as officially vouched for. Hundreds of
them, many of them members of titled families, have
been killed wounded. If anything like the same
ratio is maintained in the ranks the loss has been
staggering. All accounts agree that Germany has
suffered even more severely, and the enormous pub
lIshed casualty lists tend to confirm them. Europe
in fact, is almost like vast hospital There can be
no doubt that modern weapons and methods of war
fare have resped an awful harvest.

the apprehension of the BLACK hand"
that terrorized the nation a few years
ago, were told by Wizard. His subject
for the evening was THE Capture of

the organized bands that especially
worked under secret Italian society

many times we find them trying to
conduct similar bands.
He urged that more discretion be
used in selecting proper literature for
the children. In regard to social evils
he asserted that any law ever passed
can be enforced if proper men are
elected to executive Offices. Detective
Wizard has played a large part in rout-

"THE MASK"

This is a very commendable film.
It's theme is essentially dramatic, be-
ing that in which a man leads a dou-
ole life and possesses, like Jekyll and
Hyde, a double personality by virtue,
however, not of transforming his en-
tire body but only the muscles of his
face. This is carried away with first
rate effect by the actor playing the
rascal. At the denuement, he is
about to marry the heroin@, he loses
control of the muscles of his face and
his real character is revealed. The
film will carry wherever ii is shown.
Phillip Smalley and Lois Weber
play the leading parts in this film,
which will be shown at the Surprise
theater today.
