At TIE ILLINOIS.

THE Birth Of a Nation" again last
night thrilled another large audience
at the Illinois theatre, where it is be
ing shown this week matinees and
nights. Not only in its marvellous
realism, but in the music and the &C
cessories which go to more wildly de-
scribe the scenes, did the picture bring
forth the plaudits of the spectators.
The symphony orchestra OF 16 pieces
which accompanies the picture from
place to place, has received a large
share of the favorable comment ten
dered by those who have witnessed it.
The spectacular battle scenes and
other notable events during the civil
war, interwined in a story which
clearly gives an insight into conditions
which were common both in the north
and south during the rebellion, awed
and impressed, while the second part
which showed the fight the soutl
made after the war against its new
enemies thrilled. The audience again
last night was moved TO cheers anc
sympathy by these scenes.

Will Back Firing Bring War to an End?

It is rather early to venture predic-
ton at this time. The great war broke
out one year ago Monday June %, by
Germany declaring war on Russia and
France, followed by Austria, Seryia,
Belgium, Turkey, England, Portugal and
Italy. In August last The Echo pre-
dicted that the war would likely come
to an end by the WEAKNESS Of the stay
at-homes, lack of funds and backfring.
The first backfire was started last week
by the German socialists meeting and
passing resolutions urging their gov
eminent TO make peace overtures to
the other nations. Doubtless this will
start a similar movement among the
socialists Of other governments. The
German government is not averse to
the movement, and recognizes the
gravity Of the action, but German pride
balks at being made the goat in the
movement. She more than any other
nation is responsible for the confagra-
ton, and does not like the idea Of
being the first to say enough" where
fore she suspended the publication OF
the newspaper that had the hardihood
10 print the manifesto, and threatens

SPECIAL NOTICE..
The Echo as An Advertising Medium

Advertising space in a newspaper IS
worth IN proportion TO the number Of
It's legitimate, paying subscribers.
Those that are not paying for the
paper, or are receiving It without hay
ing ordered il may not be considered
legitimate subscribers. They are not
subscribers within the postal laws,
and If complaint is made will subject
the publisher to prosecution. Only
those who have ordered the paper and
expect to pay for If within year, if it
be weekly paper, are classed as le-
climate subscribers. The publisher
who mails his paper to subscriber
after he is one year in arrears on sub
scription is violating the law and is
liable to prosecution, and all such sub
scribers are illegitimate and can moi be
taken into account in estimating the
value Of its advertising space.
The Echo has from three 10 ten
times as many legitimate subscribers
in Leayenworth as any newspaper cir
culated here. The Echo has from ten
to fifty times as many legitimate sub
scrioers as any newspaper circulated in
the Upper Wenatchee Valley outside
of Leayenworth. On this statement
we are prepared to be put under oath.
subiecting ourselves 10 the pains and
penalties Of perjury if the statement
can not be proven in court. There is
another reason why nonpaying sub
scrjber. or one who has not ordered a
paper, should not be taken into ac-
count in estimating its advertising
value. A thing one does not pay for
and does not want is not valued very
highly, and the newspaper that is not
paid for and was never ordered is not
read. It is not considered Of sufficient
interest to occupy ones time, else it
would be ordered and paid for.
To discriminating advertisers we fur,
ther suggest, if they want evidence
strong as proof Of holy writ that The
Echo is the most valuable advertising
medium in the Upper Wenatchee Val
ley, that they ask the first ten persons
they meet in one day either Of these
three questions, What paper do you
take?" what paper do you read2"
or What paper do you prefer" any
thing to get an expression OF opinion,
and if the result does not substantially
back up our assertion that advertising
space in this paper is worth from three
TO ten times as much as any paper cir
culated in this section then our con-
tention is worth nothing and we are
not entitled TO your advertising patron
age on the score Of giving the greatest
yakle for your money.

To Subscribers in Arrears

Hereafter when you find a one cent
postage stamp affixed to your Echo
please take that as a reminder that
your subscription is behind one year
and unless renewed the paper must be
stopt. The postal department rules
prohibit the sending Of weekly paper
to a subscriber who is one year in ar
rears unless one cent stamp is affixed
thereto. Watch the stamp if you do
not want the Echo stopt. We can not
afford to affix stamp every week,
neither can we afford to violate the
law.

JULY ,. 1915

TO imprison the principal movers il the
peace movement.
Another and most important factor
that may bring the war TO an early con
clusion is lack Of funds. The financial
world already scents the slackening
ability Of the warning nations 10 pay for
war material. War material and food
stuffs for fighting nations must always
be paid for in cash. When there is
no longer money forthcoming to pay
for this the end Of the war may be con-
sidered in sight. Both England and
Germany are appealing 10 the great
mass Of the people, the poor people,
to hand their little savings over TO the
government, appealing to their patriot
ism, and not hesitating to remind them
that lack Of funds to carry on the war
may mean defeat and slavery.
Il is probably very true, tho denied
by all, that the money to carry on the
war is getting desperately short. On
England falls the burden Of financing
all her allies, while Germany has Under
taken to furnish Austria and Turkey
with money and war material Adding
the war expenses Of the warning nations
together at this time If amounts TO over
twelve billion dollars.
VINO has to pay this enormous debt?
The Kings and Kaisers? The titled
nobility Not on your life. Il will
be wrung from the laboring man He
must sweat and toll. His wife and
children must wear rags and go hall
clothed in order to live under the
enormous tax burdens that will inev-
itably follow this war. AS matter Of
policy the kings and kaisers will a
little less faunt their gold lace and
jewels in the face Of their dear peo-
ple," but they will work no harder,
live just as well, have just as good
and easy times as before the war.
What is true Of the kings and kaisers
is practically true Of the nobility. the
titled lords Of creation. Will any Of
them suffer the deprivation Of single
necessity Will any one Of them go
hungry OF lack clothing TO keep them
and their families warm? Certainly
not. They will have TO curtail some
what their unnecessary expenses but
not one of them will have to suffer for
the necessaries of life.
Who is most responsible for the war,
the people or the ruling aristocracy?
Do you think there would have been a
European war if the plain people had
been consulted2 Answering these
inteuogatories may help you to decide
whether the world really needs them.
