Birth of a Nation"

Birth OF Nation.
After more extensive and sensational
publicity than has fallen to the lot OF
any other theatrical enterprise, ID. w.
Grifhth's THE Birth of Nation" will
begin a limited engagement at the New
National Monday night, April II, and
continue there twice daily thereafter.
The metropolitan production will be
shown here with symphony orchestra
OF thirty.
Many circumstances have conspired to
make "The Birth Of a Nation the most
widely discussed production in the
world. Suggested by Thomas DiXons
Southern novels. IL embraces far wider
scope than ''Tho Clansman"' did as a
play. Mr.. Grifhtth's new art accom-
pllshment covers ten years OF history
ana pictorializes the greatest events OF
the war between the States as well as
those of the Reconstruction period. Mr.
Grithth's treatment of this magnificent
theme Is so much greater an grander
than the original play that there can
be no comparison. For example. ne
presents 1900 actors and 5000 horses IN
stead of n cast of twenty-five. He
shows 5000 scenes in place OF four or
five There are far-fiung battle lines
and Ku Klux rides which surpass In
thrills any Vanderbilt Cup race.

Adopt successruI Methods.

With wonderful alacrity Congress is
passing bills for military preparedness.
The army has been raised to full
strength and the house and senate are
getting together on a bill increasing
the size Of the standing army. the ma
tiOnal guard and the creation of some
thing in the form of a continental
army. So far so good. because there
is little likelihood of this country get
ting an effective army before it will
be needed in Mexico.
But we do not like the method
adopted in increasing our military
strength. The United States evidently
is to try the system that has uniformly
proved expensive. inefficient and in it's
earlier stages of actual warfare very
costly in life and prestige. 1t is the
paid volunteer army. England has
tried this and at the opening of the
Boer war was unprepared. 1t met
with costly and humiliating defeats.
The failure of the machine guns to
work when the regular troops of the
United States wanted TO use them
against the Villa bandits at Columbus.
