OF the big features of the year. A
more artistic and dramatic photoplay
could hardly be imagined than this
production by the Seiig Polyscope
Company. 1t is based upon the ia
nous drama by Edward e. Rose and
tells the story of the many trying
events which fill the life of Father
Kelly. From childhood he was told
that his calling was the church and
his heart directed him that way, but
in early manhood when a young girl
came into his life he wayered for a
short time from his determination.
He won the battle which ragged in his
heart, however, and devoted himself
to the church. Later in life a boy
son of the woman he loved-came to
him and Father Kelly cared for the
boy as though he were his own. The
boy grew to manhood and married.
His wife's sister was ruined by a
worthless fellow and in protecting
the girls name the wife aroused the
husbands suspicion. A separation
followed and Father Kelly, heartbrok-
en-, over the tragedy, did all he could
to bring them together. In the end
he was successful and happiness
came into their lives again. ADV.

Italy's war against Turkey on a
trumped up excuse is on par with
the rest of her acts in this struggle
The experience of the italiansin their
attack on Austria IS interesting as
showing the great scale on which this
war is being fought Before declar-
ing war on Austria, Italy had mobil-
lied an army OF about a million and
a half and has as many more men i'll
training in reserve. After the con
iiict started Italy found on the limit
ed frontier between Italy and Aus
tria, and large part of this in the
midst of high mountains, she could
not maneuyre such large bodies OF
troops to advantage. She is compel
led to make frontal attack against
intrenohed lines and this, is in the
main, business for artillery. In CON
sequence Italy finds that she can
easily spare large bodies of troops
for operations at the Dardanelles.
Hence her declaration of war against
Turkey. II is probable too that Italy
would rather furnish troops for the
Operations against Turkey than to
have them come from Greece for II
allan ambitions in the near east are
in direct conflict with the desires OF
Greece. The whole proceeding is but
added proof that this Whole war is
one of greed, ayarice and ambition.
OF all the nations at war France is
the only one fighting purely in self
defense and to maintain her national
honor. II is also possibly true of Bel
GUM, but in this connection there
are number of Suspicious crcum-
stances that will have to he explain
ed before the world will know to al
certainty. Russia, England, Germany
and Austria are fighting mainly for
commercial and political aggrandze-
ement. Poor old Turkey whose rec.
ord in the past has been so bad that
she deserves nothing. is fighting for
an existence that is not worth pre-
serving. Japan's brief part in the
war thus far was that of buceaneer
and highwayman. Yet out of ii all,
and regardless of who the victors
may be. good may come through the
wider diffusion OF knowledge and un-
derstanding.

CONDITIONS BAD
IN MEXICO CITY
FAMINE AND ANARCHY IN CON-
TRoL-FURTHER NEWS FROM
BRAZILIAN MINISTER.
MESSAGES BEING HELD UP
Carranza Has Held Up Gable Messageo
To This Country--Zapata Still
Holds Capital.

Washington.-With unpalleled condi-
tions OF famine and anarchy in Mexico
City threatening the safety of foreign
ers, officials of the United States are
giving serious consideration to relief
measures.
Long dispatches by couriers to Vera
Cruz from the Brazilian minister at
Mexico City were before Secretary
Lansing here and President Wilson at
Cornish, n. H., who may authorize an
effort to obtain the consent OF Gen
eral Carranza to send supplies into
the old capital through neutral agen-
cies. The diplomatic corps in Mexico
City is counted on to provide for the
removal of foreigners from the fight
ing zone.
Only the opening Of the railroad
from Mexico City to Vera Cruz said
one of the Brazilian minister's mes
sages, "can bring relief to the situa-
ton" The dispatches, the first tho
department had received in nearly
two weeks from the Mexican capital,
revealed that while the cable from the
city Is not cut, Carranza authorities re-
| fuse to permit messages to pass. 1t is
understood that the United States will
| inquire of Carranza to learn the re-
sponsibility for stopping of diplomatic
communications.
While it appeared that the Zapata
forces still controlled the capital fight
ing was continuing in the outskirts.
The political situation in Mexico. it
generally is believed, depends on the
course Of military operations. Contin-
ued Iapata successes in opposing the
entry OF Carranza's troops into the cap
ital has deadlocked operations in the
south, while in the vicinity of Aguas
Calientes General Villa claims to have
retaken Lagoes and defeated General
Hill, who succeeded Obregon in active
command Of the Carranza forces.
Efforts to restore peace wait to
some extent upon the return here of
President Wilson, although the out.
come of the military situation in the
next few weeks will have an important
bearing on the problem.

Big Hotel for Spartanburu,

Spartanburg~A modern fireproof
seven-story hotel will be built in Spar,
tanburg on the Spartan Inn site, the
actual construction to begin within 80
days. The stockholders of the hotel
corporation met and definitely decided
that the hotel would be built. About
this time last year the hotel project
was agitated with the result that a
stock company was formed and tenta-
tive plans for hotel discussed. AS
matters were being shaped up for ac-
tual building of hotel the European
war knocked the bottom out Of the
whole affair and nothing had been
done until this meeting.
The hotel, planned to be seven
stories high, will cost between 1925, 900
and $250,O00. The stockholders have
subscribed s125,OOO of this amount.
First and second mortgage bonds for
$4,000 and $4,000 respectively are
to be sold to cover the remaining

tiers Are in Mexico.

Paris.-Gen. Porflro Diaz, former
president of Mexico, died here.
General Daz's wife, Sonora Carmen
Romero Rubias and their son Porfiro
Diax, Jr., and the latter's wife were by
his side when the end came.
General Diaz began to fail rapidly
about three weeks ago and while his
death was not unexpected, owing to
his advanced age and recent failing
health the crisis came suddenly. Por-
fro DiaZ, Jr, and his wife were hasti-
ly summoned and arrived at the bed
side only few minutes before the end
Colonel Diaz in announcing the
death of his father, said that he was
unable to state the nature of the
malady, but expressed the opinion that
complication Of diseases due to ad-
Vanced age was the cause.
Two tragic circumstances marked
the death Of the exiled ruler. Owing
to the troubled state in Mexico it has
been judged imp possible to send the
body home with all the ceremony
which would have befitted one of the
hgures of Mexican history, and further,
Col. Porfirio DiaZ, Jr., has tried in vain
to inform his sisters, Sonora Ignacio de
La Tore and Sonora Rincoin Gallardo, D,
now in Mexico, of their fathers death.
No less tragic, perhaps, is the fact
that not one Of those whom General
Diaz raised up as his assistants in
governing Mexico and who pprospered
and grew rich in the shadow OF his
greatness were with him when he
died. Jose Yves de La Mentour form
er Mexican minister of Finance, is in
London; Francisco de la Barra, former
provisional president of Mexico and
holder Of other important positions and
| Guillermo de Landa, former governor
of the federal district in Mexico, are
in Biarritz, France. Scarcely any one
outside Of the family knew of the Sc
riousness Of General Diaz's illness OF
that he was in Paris.
The end seems to have been due
to failure of the heart, weakened b,

The general issued a statement say
ing he was opposed to Huerta and all
that he represented in Mexico poll

would go to Sonora on private mis-
sion for General Villa, returning
afterwards to the battle front to re-

Department Of Justice officials had
no additional details concerning the
charges and evidence on which Gen

opinion, however, that the arrests al

venting the launching of a new Mexi-
can revolutionary movement.
General Angeles wishes to talk with
President Wilson. He was not direct
ed by Villa to do so, he said, but Is
anxious to learn just what Mexican
policy the United States intends to
pursue. General Angeles agrees with
President Wilson's recent statement
that the various elements must come
to an understanding. He told friends
that he and General Villa would sup.

letter were not disclosed but it was
