ure the institutions under which we
live"
Major General Scott, Chief of the
Staff of the United States Army, says
in the pictures:
'Ts the United States worth fighting
for?"
''The rights of citizen to the free
dom of a republic, involve corre-
spending duty to defend those rights"
You cannot hire a force of national
defenders-yet must do it yourself or
it will not be DONE
The subject is covered in it's every
particular. The War College and its
provinces are utilized. and the in
adequacy of the cavalry, the gunnery,
the artillery and infantry are shown in
their entirety, universally portraying
the adequate manner in which we
should be.
For the gathering of this instructive
material on preparedness, operators
have been dispatched to important
army and naval bases, where they are
making pictures that will bring home
the truth of our condition for war to
the American people. I'VE are prac-
tically undefended," Mr.. Reuterdahl
said. I'VE cannot back our national

policies. The army admits 1.-THE
navy knows 1.-THE country is learning
it fast" Just what the Pork Barrel
means is to be demonstrated by pic
lures; just where the army is helpless
is being put upon the screen. The OPP
orators are picturing our aviation
camps-army and navy. All the mad
equate and miserable equipment of our
aerial corps will be put before the peo-
pie, as will our railroad resources for
mobilization, our industrial and chem
ical resources.
1t is bringing homo horrible truths
that are startling.
And after all is said and done Amer
lean citizens have been standing for
months on the brink of war, asking
themselves one question. Are we pre-
pared for defence?
Other vital subjects that are treated
in the Photographs are such a Better
Babies, edited by the Woman's Home
Companion; psychological tests for the
testing Of the mind, conducted by Pro-
fessor Hugo Munsterberg; the pictur-
ing of the remarkable hands of re-
markable people, lessons in carving,
lessons in hairdressing and the history
Of the art, lessons for young men and
+! young women in etiquette, science and
invention, fashions and cartoons on
| present day topics.
Paramount Pictures Corporation en-
tered the educational field Of the mo-
| ton picture industry after years of
thought. They co-operated with the
government in the movement for better
babies and took up this feature be-
| cause they strongly maintain that

bic asset of a nation. They are work.
ing along definitely constructed lines
toward equipping the young with
| strong bodily resistance for life's race,
realizing primarily that health and
happiness are the keynotes of perfect
harmony, that healthy children are the
| crown jewels in the realm of mother
hood and that the welfare of the COM
munity and the prosperity Of the home
depend upon the proper care of our
children.
The word psychology stuns the ma
jority. Yet the means that have been
used by Professor Munsterberg in his
series Of 'Testing the Mind" has
brought this to a delightful pass. More
than anything that has ever been pic
turized, these tests have made people
think.
The hands Of remarkable people are
unusual, and the lessons in carving,
hairdressing and etiquette are doing a
great good for the millions who attend
the motion picture theatre.
The Paramount Photographs more
than ever before exemplified the fact
that the photoplay theatre is to exist
as an increasing source of good and
an influential factor in every commu-
nifty, for these are pictures with big,
broad, vital, stirring thoughts behind
them. Judiciously said, they are edu-
cational. lacking absolutely that me-
chanical monotony so often seen in the
so-called "educational" pictures, re-
placing this by a distinct individuality,
rapidly moving thoughts being told in
see-able action. They are stimulators
of thought, socially, politically, educa-
tionally, morally. ethicallu

- LANDING on the brink OF war,
for months American citizens
have been asking themselves
one question.
Are we prepared for defence?
In years passed there could have
been naught save an affirmative an
swer to the query, but with Europe In
the throes of a war of nations in
which millions of men have been
massed against each other, striving for
supremacy, the millions of citizens of
the States have found that their affirm
alive answer of years gone by has
been, out Of sheer necessity, turned
into a negative one. At no previous
time have people so fully realized that
our army and navy was SO Inadequate.
The singular fact that while hum
dreds, or even hundreds OF thousands
have realized that the States were not
prepared for defence, there were mil
lions who did not fully appreciate the
extreme need for deep thought upon
the matter Lack OF realization Is as
bad as lack of preparedness. Lack of
preparedness is a sure sign OF weak
ness. The suggested remedy for this
WAS a course of education, to be given
the people by which they would be
brought to a fuller understanding of
the seriousness of the situation.
1t was for that reason, the reason OF
educating over ten million Of intelli-
gent people, and educating them each
week In a forceful manner. that the
motion pictures were brought into
play in the countrywide campaign for
preparedness. The country's greatest
thinkers had spent years trying to tell
the people that there was grave need
for adequately preparing for our coun-
try's defence; not to prepare for war
but to enable us to stand behind every
statement, IT matters not how caustic
that our government would be COM
PEELED to make War did come. Situa-
tions arose that were terrible. Some
said we should go to war. Others said
we would be the laughing stock of the
world If we did. What was to be done?
Educate the people to think. Think
on vital questions. Show them what
was what. Give them the real data
relative to our present situation. Tel
them what we are and what we should
he And then let them sit down anc
think 1t out for themselves"
But they have been told, the "pacifist'
answered They have been told ir
written words. But they didn't under
stand written w0rds the "militarist' re-
tarted. Show II to them. Show then
On way that they will never forget
Chow them their needs in n visualize6
manner.
They couldn't take a million people
TO see what we had at Fort Bliss oil
Fort Myer or any other fort. Neither
could they show them the navy.
Then the thought came to the mind
of the thinking men of the motion pic
ture industry. and il was these men
who filed the gap and decided to
visualize the thoughts of the country's
great thinking men, on the screen. II

PREPAREDNESS.
To defend homes and ideals.
To defend our neghbors' homes.
To keep bodies sound.
Supremacy afoat means peace ashore.
Invasion impossible with powerful navy.
A strong navy insures liberty and prosperity.
Preparedness means discipline.
Defend rights against alien foes.
Every should be trained to defend.
Preparedness for war is assurance against it.
War is respecter of persons.
You can't prepare after calamity has overtaken u.s.
Is the United States worth fighting for?
Our rights involve a duty to defend those rights.
You can't hire national defenders.
Our army has brains, but whore are it's hands!
Our army is efficient, but numerically weak

Roosevelt Applauds
Hughes Speech

Theodore Roosevelt sat in a box at
Carnegie Hall when Mr.. Hughes de
livered his speech of acceptance and
vigorously applauded every telling
point.
The Colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed in response to the cheers for
him and the shouts of Teddy" "Ted.
dy!" "Hurrah for Teddy!". and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
'It is an admirable speech and ]
points:
81 am particularly pleased with the
exposure OF the folly. and worse than
folly. Of Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
and of the way in which this policy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself
Moreover. am very glad Of the
straightforward manner in which Mr.
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this ma
tion by the manner in which he al
lowed foreign powers to gain the i'm.
preston that although he used the
were not to be taken seriously.
Not Words Which Count.
"As Mr.. Hughes said, 1t is not words
but the strength and resolution behind
the words which count. AS Mr..
Hughes pointed out, there is no doubt
that II Mr.. Wilson's conduct and ac'
ton had been such as to make the
foreign nations believe that he meant
precisely what he said in his strict
accountability there would have been
no destruction of American lives by
the sinking of the Lusitania.
when Mr.. Hughes uses strong
words his record shows that they are
always backed by strong deeds. and
therefore in the enormous majority OF
cases the use OF strong words renders
1t unnecessary ever to have recourse
to strong deeds.
again. Mr.. Hughes speaks in char.
acteristically straightforward fash
ion of the outrages committed on mu-
nitions plants, and all men. whether
citizens OF foreign nations or nominal
citizens OF our own land, who had In
any shape or way abetted or condoned
those actions can understand that Mr..
Hughes, II President. will protect
these domestic American interests and
punish offenders against them with
the fearlessness and thoroughness
that he showed in dealing with the
powers OF evil at Albany.
Brought Nation to Ignomlny.
"Just before coming in to listen to
Mr.. Hughes Just characterization OF
Mr.. Wilson's failure to protect the
lives and property Of Americans in
Mexico and on the high seas, l hap
pened to pick up John Fiske's Critical
Period OF American History" and was
struck by the following two sentences:
".A government touches the lowest
point of ignominy when 1t confesses
its inability to protect the lives and
the property OF its citizens. gov
ernment which has come to this has
Jailed IN discharging the primary func-
ton of government and forthwith
ceases to have any reason for exist
ing
"Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his
speech with self-restraint, but with
emphasis. that 1t is precisely this
primary function which Mr.. Wilson's
Administration has failed to discharge
and that It is precisely this point OF
lgnominy to which he has reduced
the nation over which he is Presi-
