condition OF Austria and Germany will

Germany must spread out can easily be
ture public. Despite the fact that other
countries are so intensely involved, the
war seems to US to be one between Eng
land and Germany.
Germany is fighting for things she feels
she must have in order to live. She feels
that it is right that she should seize from
England what England seized years ago
from other countries. England feels that
it is just as necessary to maintain what
she has taken in order to live. This Is
true.
England is the greatest shipping coun-
try in the world Her tonnage, in round
numbers, Is almost four times that of
Germany. Her exports and imports large
ly oyershadow those of any other coun-
try. Imports are slightly greater in the
United Kingdom than exports, and the
same applies to Germany. Therefore, it
would seem that both countries require
freedom of the seas. England controls
the international highways today. Ger
many feels that for economic indepen-
dence, which means prosperity and pow
er, she must control them.

CLOsE-UPs OF SCREEN FAvORITEs

When the star of the motion-picture
empire began to move westward to the
Pacific coast Miss Saunders followed il
to southern California. There she ap-
peared successfully in Biograph, Kinema-
color and Universal productions. Subse-
quently she Joined the Balboa forces at
Long Beach when the Horkheimer broth
ers began their activities. Now she has
contract which runs three years longer
and the photoplays in which she appears
find ready market.
Jacquelin is the first name given to
Miss Saunders at birth, but il was soon
shortened to Jackie and she likes that
sobriquet best. It expresses her nature
for she Is a bizarre, out-of-doors girl
Her preference is for raggety-taggety
parts, in which she can rear and tear
with her luxuriant hair flying in the
winds. OF late she has done several
mountain pictures. going bare-footed over
the rocky trails
Yet 1t is not difficult for this screen
favorite to put on ballroom gowns and
become Jacquelin in a nonce. She wears
her clothes as gracefully as she is nat
ural in tomboy regalia.
During the last year Miss Saunders
has appeared in a dozen OF Balboas big
gest productions. The list includes "Wiu
o. the Wisp." Rose Of the Alley" Lit
tie Sunbeam" 'Reaping the whirlwind,"
and "A Bolt from the Sky Her in
depreciation of 'Ill Starred Babbie." the
story of the Pennsylvania coal fields, by
the Rev. Will W. Whalen, pleased the
author so thoroughly that he pronounced

Saunders last feature Is called "The
Shrine of Happiness" This turned out
50 satisfactorily that Pathe Freres sent
it abroad to be hand-colored. The fact
that it is the first five-reel photoplay
ever treated to such costly consideration
gives an indication of the fine quality of
Jackie Saunders cinematographic work.

uncertain about appearing before the

President Of National Baptist Conven-
tion Says Situation Is Satisfactory.
BY WILLIAM !. FRANKLIN.
Helena. Ark.-One of the busiest and
most able officials of any religious body
in this section of the country IS the
Rev. DR.. Elias &. Morris of this city.
His duties as president OF the National
Baptist convention are large and ex
acting. Besides the great bulk of work
which he has to look after personally.
| it takes three secretaries to do the
| clerical work in connection with the
various branches of the convention.
| In recent statement regarding the
outcome Of the recent session Of the
convention held in Philadelphia Dr.
Morris says:
Il was very much gratifed at the
outcome of the recent session of the
| national Baptist convention and be-
| ieve when the sober afterthought of
the leaders, even those who appeared
to be in opposition to the will of the
majority, has had time to fully assert
itself that much Of the ordinations
| and recrimina tons now going the
rounds will cease.
II think that the meeting was by far
one Of the greatest held and com
plete vindication of the president from
| the charge that he had animuS against
the publishing board for alleged wrongs
| perpetrated against him. Even the sec
retary of the board clearly stated that
the $1,000 about which SO much had
been written and spoken went to pay
fh, vori,nt ND
paid as salary to the editor.
PERSONALLY have no i'll will against
any man. DR.. Boyd and myself have
| not fully agreed as to the manner of
| conducting the cooperative missionary
| work, and the same might be said in
| bygone years of the foreign mission
| work, but the difference seems to be
| this, that DR.. Jordan, the correspond
| Ing secretary. is willing to be advised
| by his brethren and submit to the will
| Of the convention.
| There are matters connected with
the affairs of our boards that l do not
care to discuss at this time. especially
such things that have been transacted
since. the meeting of the convention.
1 believe all will be adjusted in due
| time. and there will be nothing but
peace and harmony in the ranks of the
national Baptist convention.
"One need not expect everything to
move along smoothly in convention
representing 2.5O0.OOO. where every
man has free speech and many Of them
| are contendng for the mastery. l am
glad that it is as it is, and we are
going to show to the world that the
! Negro Baptists Of this country are
| united. although we may at times
| differ
