A Film With a Message

At the movies next week in this city there will be
seen remarkable film, which is devoted to arguing
the wisdom of preparedness for peace, through making
ready for possible The film contains much that
every man, woman, boy and girl should see; it also
contains much that is deeply shocking because of its
CHASTITY truth No ones feelings spared in the least
As one man expressed his sensation upon seeing it
through, II IS IN parts like visiting the operating
room TO see what is inside your friend.
The film shows the results of very careful planning
and thought 1t is a wonderful demonstration of the
various possibilities of the modern movie 1t speaks
IN language powerful than that of the orator
or the writer. It's lessons and striking points
be lodged. There be such thing as overlooking
its telling phrases its keen No one after
seeing this film honestly say he never realized the
truth about unpreparedness"
In the film there is very much of beauty, much of
thrilling patriotic ervor; there is considerable humor,
and there is tragedy grim anything this has
recorded. The facts are all brought home by the
clever scheme of Ocazing them in fair encing
Land Even the rdicule of the extreme pacsts is not
carried so far to spoil the effect It is keen, not
brutal
1t is hard to see how out of the long and furious
debate that the preparedness" issue will certainly
tan anything emerge at last but universal military
training IN some form. That is the true democracy,
the true freedom of free people Universal training
IN time of peace universal service in time of war; that
is the only logical and just arrangement. But plan
can easily be adopted that will require only the least
possible time to be specially devoted to the professional
side of preparation for defence, while it will be i'm
mensely valuable in every way in raising the physical
and moral standards and inspiring Americans newly
with patriotic feeling

Give Thanks To Juarez

FL Pasoans will do well to take occasion, whenever
possible to express by formal resolution their apprecia
ton Of the activities of the Juarez authorities in sup
pressing keno other gambling games, immoral resorts
and excessive use of liquor Without waiting for any
thing FL Pasoans, wherever and whenever they meet
in groups ought to pass resolutions OF appreciation
and gratitude and see that they reach the military and
civil authorities of Juarez
Every church. school, club and lodge, every organiza-
tOn Of business men, every association OF women every
society the teachers and the mothers, the institutions
of social service ought to take prompt and torcetu
action in this connection 1t is not only due the uarez

that their enlightened and progressive acts are
appreciated and commended but it is due FL Paso as
such action may have effect in protecting us from
a revival of those hesh pastmes that in recent years
have made uarez the most degraded and degrading city
the continent.
This city, closely connected with Juarez, IS bound
up with uaTez social life and government in ways we
can never escape If our local efforts to insure cean
heathfu, decent city are met with cooperation over
there, we can achieve much. If our efforts are not
seconded there, badly Handicapped.
The work that Gen. Gavira has done to clean up
uarez morally and materially is really far greater than

meant the cutting off of large revenues of which the
