Earthquake Caused Chances

An effect of the Nevada earthquake
of the last quarter Of 1915 has been
an increase to three or four tines the
former amount in the flow of streams
and springs throughout the r5rthern
part of the state. Observers have pro-
inounced this earthquake more violent
than the one that caused such disaster
in San Francisco in 1906, but in the
thinly settled region the damage was
small. Beginning October 2, there
were more than 500 shocks within
three months. The most notable mark
of the disturbance has been lefN on the
east side of Pleasant valley, where the
alluvial detritus at the base of the
Sonoma range has settled aW;.y for
vertical height of to II feet and
horizontal width Of feet over dis
tance Of nearly 25 miles.

RlDICULE MINISTER'S IN MOVIES.
Something That Oughg 10 Be Headed off by
Patrons Who Do the Paving.

Some weeks ago a valued cor
respondent, E w Stahl, called at
tentlon in these columns tor the
persistent attempt through the
movies to advertise the Roman
Catholic church through introduc
ton of priests and nuns, present
ed in the most f1attering manner
possible and often lugged into
the play for the palpable purpose
of advertising the Roman Cath
ollc faith; a faith that is repre-
j sented by less than $50 900 of
the 100, 100000 people who con-
stitute our republic. The critic
ism by Mr. Stahl was thoroughly
warranted Numbers of COM
plants have come to us from all
parts of the country. many of our
readers having declared that they
have ceased attending certain
plays, or plays produced by GER
firms, because of this offensive
attempt to advertise the Roman
CATHOLIC church. Mr.. Stafl, in
the following contribution touch
es upon another fact which many
thoughtful people have noted in
regard to the way Protestant
ministers are frequently held up
to ridicule in the movies. On
this subject he says:
"Talking with a lady some time
after the article appeared in the
Menace I got from her a thought
that had never come to me before.
She agreed with we that the
priests we're exalted in the movies
and further expressed herself by
calling my attention to the fact
that when a Protestant minister
appears in moving picture re-
presentation, it is usually in some
ridiculous aspect. Often he is
pictured as fool or an idiot. His
dress is gotten up in such way
as to excite laughter. Even the
manner Of his walk, the cut of
his whiskers, the expression of
his face, all these seem to betoken
a conspiracy to cover him with
ridicule. Disgraceful practical
jokes are perpetrated upon him.
In every way is he exhibited 50
as to compromise his ministerial
dignity.
Is it not about time for the
uon-Catholic millions among our
patrons of the movies to unitedly
and insistently demand of the
moving picture corporation that
they eliminate this offensive pa,
pal advertising? Is it not titoe
that we protest to the manage
ment of the different moving pic
ture theaters every time one of
these advertisements for the Ro-
man Catholic political machine is
put on the screens! If our people
will take a hrrl stand ia this re
gard, the thealar managers will
soon heed the ,rotes- and d mia nd
that This offensive feature be
eliminated fron pictures that are
sent to their thea ters, and the
movie managers also viii be
quick to heed the combined pro-
test of miliions of patrons Of the
movies. ."-Tile Menace.

crisis in Great Britain has re,
suited in the downfall of OF the
coalition Cabinet headed by Her.
bert Fl. Asquith as Prime Min
lister. This resignation of Mr..
Asquith has been accepted by
King George, who has rendered
the portfolio to Andrew, Bomar,
Unionist leader in the House of
Commons. Should Mr.. Bomar
Law decline the appointment the
feeling in London is that David
Lloyd-George will receive the
tender.
In Rumania the forces of the
central powers are continuing
their drive toward Bucharest.
Already almost encompassed on
the svuth and southwest by the
invaders, the capital apparently
is being rapidly approached from
the west and the northwest, with
the Rum.nians and Russians no
where able to stem the tide. The
encircling movement to the north
west from the regions of Tergo-
visteg and Petrosita is dangerous
ly threatening the town of Plo-
echti and the only railroad run
ming from Bucharest except to
tho east. If the pressure of the
Teutons is maintained, the indi-
cations are that they soon will be
at the doors of the capital.
In the northwest, from the
Carpathians to the Moldavian
frontier region, the Russian Of
fensive is making little if any
progress. While Petrograd an
nounces the capture of another
range of heights on the Molda-
Wan front, the Russian war office
admits the recapture by the Teu-
tons in the wooded Carpathian
sector of a height south of Vor-
oneshka. Berlin says the Rus
sian attacks everywhere have
| been without avail. -
On the Macedonian front east
| of the Cerna river the Serbians
north OF Grunishte and Budi-
mirtsa have taken an additional
fortified position from the Bull
garians. The Bulgarians in this
region are said to be retreating.
