GRAND TONIGHT.

Many Thrilling Scenes in "Rue G."
Among the wonderfully realistic
scenes in Rule G" are the wreckiug
Of the first club house with wild en-
CINE and the narrow escape Of the oc-
cupants Of the building. shop accidents
involving a journal lathe and si1'ton
steam hammer, the demolition at
crossing of a wagon containing farm
er and his wife, the saving OF two pas
senGer trains by the automatic action
OF the block signal. the flight of Myra
on the lineman's speeder. and, the puT-
suit by the men on the handcar. who
have q close call for their lives, the
mob scene in which hundreds OF men
are haltdrowned and driven out Of the
cares by four determined men using a
locomotive in a way that is thrilling
and marvellous 10 behold. and the ter
rife barehanded fight between Ned
and Spike-a battle that is claimed to
be the climax OF all such struggles ov-
erdone for the film.
Realism enters into the lesser as
well as thOe larger scenes. No such in
sight into a cab for Instance was ever
forded before. The audience will be
able TO see with its own eyes the grav-
ity OF a train mans sponsibiIities.
vii see how wrecks occur and why
wrecks are becoming rare. 1t is pos
sible to show these things only De-
cause the actors actually are railroad
ers. In the great scene in E. H. Harri-
mans office. the part of Hartman is
played by a man who was repeatedly
mistaken for the magnate in the clos
ing years of his life. Every detail Of
this scene is historically accurate. and
it is a significant chapter in railroad
annals.
The machine shop roundhouse, yard
and mob scenes were made at West
Oakland yards OF a railroad company.
with the untiring aid Of assistant Mas
ter Mechanic John Kicker. Most Of
the road scenes were made on the San
Jose Almadea branch, and most Of the
depot scenes at the West San Jose
station. The club house scenes were
made at Tracy and Roseville. The
interiors were done in the Blazon stu
do in Berkeley.

The longest battle front in our Clvll
War was three miles. Today, in the
great European war. the western pat
tie front extends nearly 40G miles, and
the eastern about 700 miles.
One shot in Is minutes was the very
highes, speed OF firing in our Civil
War. Today, in the great European
war, 700 shots a minute is the aver
age OF the rapid firing guns. More
over, the ultimate goal seems 10 pc
to equip every man with such gun!
England fired more shots during a
single day. in certain battle last IAN.
than she used during the entire Boer
war, while one OF her many guns
weighs more in tons than nelson S
great flag ship at the battle oil ira
falgar.
Concerning men involved, estimates
vary. The numbers are so stupen-
dous that a million one way or the
other seems to make no difference
In several battles more men have oeen
killed than the $4,000 men under Ma
poleon in the great battle OF Waterloo.
Moreover. when one considers that
for every man in the field there must
be another one at home manulactur-
ing ammunition. and that none oItheSe
figures include the vast numbers al
rectly or indirectly engaged in naval
warfare, the tremendous cost becomes
apparent. ,oo
WHY. this war is costing nearly loV
times as much per day as did our ClVil
War and has already cost as mucf
as all the wars Of the past century
combined.
AS | showed in the last article, the
governments are now oorro"lnS
money by selling government Oonds'
lust as YOU would borrow money on
YOUR note. to buy piece OF land.
With this money they are paying
cash 10 the manufacturers OF guns
and ammunition and TO the producers
of food supplies. Each bond ISSUE
however. has been sold with greater
difficulty. For instance. the powerful
British empire. in order TO sell us
last issue OF bonds about winch you
hear so much, has been obliged TO pay
an equivalent of 5l-2 per cent inter
est. or nearly double what they have
heretofore paid!
At the beginning 70 the war IT was
possible for these countries 10 sci.
bonds here in the United States ana
this gave them new money Iooa! :
however, wise investors. seeing no emu
to the conflict, are refusing TO ouE
anv more OF these bonds. Our imam
ciers know that there is no way 10
collect the interest and principal on
the bonds, if the European govern
ments should decide not 10 pay men,
and consequently We prefer TO invest
our money here al home.
AS soon as nation is obliged 10 sen
its bonds TO its own people. this re-
suits simply in changing money from
one pocket to another. but really pro-
ducing no new money for the nation.
when a country is obliged to DO as
England did last month. and appeal 10
the working people TO take thelF
money out of the government banks
and buv bonds with It. 1t IS nearly at
the last extremity in bond selling AS

per cent? And yet the credit OF the
English government Is FAR superior TO
that Of any other government in Eu-
rope.
But what viii happen when govern
ment bonds can be no longer sold
VIII the war end then? No!
You will soon see in the papers that
the European governments are begin
ming 10 issue Treasury Notes" and
you will wonder what these are They
have dignified name and sound pref.
~ good.
Well, treasury note is simply a
form OF paper money. When a gov.
eminent can no longer sell bonds TO
pay for its guns. ammunition and other
supplies in cash it starts the printing
presses making paper money and pays
the people in this paper money. This
is the next step. and there is no end
TO the time that it can be carried on.
Therefore. don't be fooled by Lloyd
Georges statement that victory will
go 10 the nation that will raise the
last billion pounds Before the days
OF printing presses this might have
been so. When a nation can sell no
more bonds 1t will begin to issue pa
per money. Then watch out!
What will the result OF this be? II
will Immediately put up prices AS
the government begins to put out
more money, the people will naturally
begin to feel that each individual dol
lar is worth less.
This is simply question OF arith-
metiC. II the real assets OF country
are SlO0.0o0,0O0 and the nation has
100,000.000 one dollar bills outstand-
ing. each OF these bills is worth one
dollar; but if the nation with the
same amount of assets puts out l00.-
100000 additional one dollar bills.
making 200,000.00O together. each one
will be worth only 80 cents.
This means that just as soon as the
governments begin to put out paper
money. prices OF ommoditieS. depend
ent on supply and demand. begin to
climb as the value OF the dollar de-
creases.
The wages Of the soldiers, however.
are fixed by law and OF the other work
ing people are fixed by custom. Hence
these remain the same.
Under such conditions the working
people get no more wages than they
got before. while their wages are able
TO purchase only half as much in food.
clothing and shelter.
The ultimate burden Of all wars fall
on the working people. If govern
ment bonds are issued the working
people must ultimately pay them
through increased rents and interest
rates; while if paper money is issued
the masses must likewise foot the bill
through increased prices.
It is too bad that the laws OF eco
Monies work out in this way. but they
do: and it is useless to try TO fool
ourselves into the belief that they
don't
The least benefit and the greatest
burden of war fall on the working
people.
Moreover. this burden falls not only
on the working people OF the coun-
tries Of the war: but. as l shall show
in my next article, it falls also on
the working people of the countries
at peace.
