THE VERSATILE "MOVIE"

Behold the humble "movie" in a
new role! o., ~
Great stress has been laid upon
July 4 as a naturalization day." the
-aecsssity has been emphasized of
teaching the lessons of citizenship
to the immigrants; and in this field
the motion picture now promises to
play stellar role.
In Boston free motnn pictures in
Che parks and Fairgrounds are be-
ing given to from 1000 to 10000
persons nightly. These pictures re-
late to educational topics, and are
designed to teach, as the spoken
word could not teach to those of a
strange tongue, the duties and op-
portunities Of q new land.
A single evenings program in
Boston's North End Park suffices to
show the scope of the plan. On this
program were current news told in
pictures; "Better Babies" illustrat-
ing what is being done by the Milk
and Baby Hygiene Association; the
activities of the Boston Young Mems
Christian Union; scenes in Ireland,
as travel feature; patriotic pic
lures; and pictures of the dances of
various nations.
Here is development of recrea-
tion for grown-ups that is practical
and beneficial; an illustration Of the
utilization of the motion picture in
fields which it's most sanguine advo-
Gates would not have dared claim
for it only few years ago,

New York World.

The United States Is no longer con-
cerned with what Germany says. 1t Ia
concerned only with what Germany
does.
President Wilson's third note to the
German government In respect to the Is
sues Of law and humanity raised by the
Iusitariia massacre Is the nnal word Of
the United States. The note is not an
ultimatum in form. but 1t Is an ulti-
matium in substance. The imperial
government is courteousiy but en-
phatically informed that the United
States intends to maintain its rights as
a neutral on the high seas without
compromise and at any COST" and that
repetition by the commanders Of Ger
man naval vessels of acts in contrayen-
ton Of those rights must be regarded by
the Government Of the United States as
deliberately unfriendly."
The issue now rests with Germany.
Even the military-mad autocracy OF
Berlin can have no excuse for mistak-
ing the meaning of these serious and
measured words.

STREET CAR SCHEDULES

Washington has reached stage
in its growth where the time element
in its street car service begins to
play part almost as important as
comfort and frequency Of scheduled
cars. 1t now takes about as long to
reach some of the outlying sections
of the city by street car as it does
to get to Baltimore by rail. Per-
haps for that reason the railroads
show a steady increase each year of
the number of tickets sold to per-
sons living in Baltimore who come
to their work in Washington each
day.
This city is not likely for many
years to see subways or elevated
trains, but there is plenty of oppor-
tunity on it's surface lines to cut
down running time for such residen-
tial sections as Mt. Pleasant, George
town, the southeast in the vicinity
of the Pennsylvania avenue bridge
and the extreme northeast.
Several of the suburban lines, es-
pecially the City and Suburban, run
ming through lexington and Lang,
don, to Hyattsville, Berwyn, and
Laurel. already have indicated the

the water. -Fhe overwhelmingly Inn
portant fact about this note is that
it puts the whole business up to Ger
many. There is finality to it. The
President not only reiterates all he
has said before, but strengthens it.
When he says that further acts in
contravention Of the rules Of war
will be regarded as deliberately un-
friendly" he goes just as far as the
proprieties of diplomatic conversa-
tion make it possible to 60. That
particular phrase has been given q
peculiar significance Of its own in
the diplomatic world; Germany
knows what it means; Mr.. Wilson
knew when he wrote it down as the
impressive closing statement Of his
note. The last word was the most
menacing word in the communica-
ton. - '..-
Germany must now decide whet
will be the future course Of. ,rela-
tions with the United States. The
matter is out of our hands; it is for
the American people to wait with
patience for the determining word
from the other side; ours has been
spoken. =

New York Times.

With courage and with firmness Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
have responded to the hopes and the
deep convictions of the American
people In the controversy with Ger
many 1t was time that there be an end
Of the long parleying In which our pro-
tests and our demands drew forth only
evasions and rresponsive counter-pro-
posals The nation has now spoken IN
words and In a tone which leave room
for no further declarations on our part.
1t rests with Germany to say whether
she desires the continuance OF friendly
relations between the two governments
and the two peoples. We have Informed
the imperial government that the repe-
tition by German naval commanders of
acts in contravention OF our rights as
neutrals must be regarded by the Gov
ernment OF the United states. when
they affect American citizens. as de-
liberately unfriendly."
The words are of serious import. In
diplomatic correspondence they are not
employed save upon grave occasions.

Germany's Suggestion Is Rejected.
The Government of the United
