That, according to certain
critics, will be the shameful
historical record of the year
1915. "Note-writer" has dis
placed "schoolmaster" as a

pathetically believed superior

But history has already re-
corded one instance of Ameri-
can note-sending which ended
gloriously for this country.
When nations tore at the
throat of stricken China, when
the German emperor was re-
ported to have instructed his
commander to "act so like a
Hun that the Chinese would
mot dare look a German in the
face again" while Russia and
France and England started
greedy expeditions to capture
ports and mines, the United
States distinguished itself by
writing a note. That note was
written by John Hay. 1t was

land that if we were called we
couldn't back it up" But the
bluff worked because behind !
it was the same human force
which stands behind President
Wilson's note to Germany.
The history of diplomatic
relations which finally assured
the integrity of China is an en-
during monument to John Hay
and to American diplomacy.
Americans will pray that hon
orable peace between Germany
and their country will be the
guerdon of President Wilson.
Meanwhile there is no rea-
son for being ashamed of note

WONDERLAND.

Today and tomorrow, the story of
movie that was meant to keep Europe
at peace. This great picture is en-
titled Lay Down Your Arms" and is
adapted from the novel Of the same
title. by Baroness Bertha Won SUIT
ner the noted Austrian authorcss and
exponent of peace
The story deals with Austrian war
fare and depicts battles that were
fought during the Schesfig- Holstein
and Austro- Prussian wars.
The photoplay was produced by
the Great Northern Film company Of
Copenhagen Denmark and was COM
pleted before there was any lndica-
ton of the present European strife.
by a singular coincidence, the war
began before the picture was shown
in either Europe or America.
Lay Down Your Arms was to
have been exhibited as part of the
program Of the peace congress that
was to have been held in Vienna dur
ing the month Of September. No more
vivid portrayal OF the horrors Of war
has ever been shown, and everyone
should make it a point to see this
great production.
