you are for preparedness or against it, once you've seen '"The Battle Cry of
 Peace," you'll acknowledge that patriot ism is by no means dormant in this great land of ours.
 You need only to sit in front of the
 screen on which this marvellous picture is filmed to be convinced of this fact.
 Bursts of applause punctuate the action repeatedly; not only because of it's dash ing military element and it's frequent ap- peals to the national spirit, but equally

 which tells of the fate of the Harrison family amid the strenuous events of real
 war.
 Nothing could bring home more forcibly
 to us the possible fate of our beloved
 America than to see as with our own eyes the ruin and devastation of familiar

 New Yorks fall, the subjugation of America; the awful relentless arm of bat tie may seem a sensational dream to many, but it cannot fail to convince that what the author of "The Battle Cry of Peace" says is true-that within a brief week this great country of ours could be hopelessly overwhelmed under the pres- ent inadequate navy and army condi- tions
 The lesson is wonderfully visualized on the screen; we are not merely asked to believe that an invading force could sweep our shores, landing 180,000 men in side of 24 hours; we are not merely told that our best defense against this horde

 FUND GETS
 BIG BOOST

Over eleven hundred dollars is the amount secured by the nine ladies and gentlemen Of Juneau who were out last Saturday securing funds with which to operate the public library. The committee will continue It's work during the coming week and it Is be Heved. according to B. D. Stewart that at least Si.25O will be the total amount raised for the relief of the F. brary.
 There were three committees at work Saturday. One committee. com posed of J. c. McBride. Mrs. B. D. Stewart and Mrs. IT. c. Devighne. se- cured $500 with promises of more to come The second committee, 2. R. Cheney and Mrs. A. P. Kashevaron brought In over S15O. The third com mittee consisting of Judge Robert W. Jennings. Mrs R. E. Robertson. Mir. Stewart and Superintendent ot Schools L. D. Henderson. returned to the committee rooms late in the af- ternoon with $520. its district having been the business section. The above amounts were in cash or checks but did not include promises which were fulfilled during the evening hours or today
 The city was completely districted and the committees covered the ground thoroughly. Every member of the committees reported that the citizens responded nobly and mani tested the greatest interest in the movement and the library In general The people seem determined that the library shall be maintained and every body protested against its decease.
 Another prominent feature con- nected with the soliciting of funds was that the citizens are almost unani- nous that the city should take over the institution and operate .t as a part of the city's affairs And right on top of this assertion. many ot the citizens declared that they would not vote for any person as member of the nert city council. who would not agree to the proposition.
 lir. Stewart stated this morning that many transients. who secure ben efts at the library. were of course unable to be reached for voluntary contributions. Many have at various times expressed the pleasures they have occasioned by having access to the library. and for that reason a contribution box has been placed in the library and any donations may be placed Tn this
