BATTLE CRY OF
PEACE" TO COME
GREAT PREPAREDNESS PICTURE
WILL BE SHOWN IN BROWNS
VILE At AN EARLY DATE.

Ii negotiations new being conducted
by Manager Dittmann of the Dittmann
Theater terminate su.cessfuliy The
Battle Cry 81 Peace the great propa-
ganda motion picture drama advocating
preparedness against war and said 10 be
the most wonderful and gorgeous motion
picture ever filmed will be presented in
Brownsville within A short time exactly
the same as il was presented more than
400 times i'm New York City at the Vita
graph theater for - per seat. This re-
markable play was written by Ccmmo-
dore j.. Stuart Blackton after he had
read Hudson Maxim's bock Defense
less America and since It's production
has been shown to the most distinguish
ed audiences that ever viewed a motion
picture in America, among them being
all of the members of President Wilson's
cabinet all of the * presidents OF the
United States and the entire congress.
1t is understood that The Battle Cry
of Peace company has agreed to fill
an engagement in Brownsville but that
there is a hitch in the negotiations at
present regarding the admittance fee to
be charged. The company carries an
orchestra, a corps of effect men, etc.,
and it is said that the producers seek a
short engagement at the regular New
York price of - for the best seats.
claiming hat they are entitled 10 the
original admittance fee charged in the
metropolis by reason of the fact that
the expense of exhibiting the film Is
even greater on the road than ii was In
New York where "A long u was rec
orded. The Dittmann management l.
endeavoring to convince the producers
that "A longer run in this city and a 10
wer admittance fee would result more
profitably in the long run than a short
run nj the regular price.
"The Battle Cry Of Peace is de
scribed by the New York Americans as
being the greatest war drama ever
filmed An idea Of the size OF the pro
duction may be gained when ii is said
that $4,000 people are in the cast, 5000
horses, IL aeroplanes, submarines, tor
pedo boats. cruisers and dreadnoughts
are used. The film was produced by the
v~itagraph company at "A cost of $500 600
and conceded to be the most pretentious
motion picture known TO the art Of ami
mated photography.
The pay deals with Americas pres
ent military unpreparedness and in a
frank almost blunt, manner the author
shows what might happen if the United
States should be invaded by a foreign
power. The destruction of the American
navy. the bombardment Of New York
City. the capture of Washington, and
many other scenes of a most spectacular
character are wildly and forcefully
brough. To the attention of the specta-
ter. 1t is said that more property was
actually DESTROYED in securing this pir-
turc than has ever been the ease in pho
tographing a drama for the screen.

Care OF The Baby

Has the birth Of your baby been reg
istered. If not you should see to il that
this duty is performed without delay. Ii
may some time be of the greatest i'm
portance TO your child that there be in
existence an accurate legal record Of his
birth, date, place and parentage- Such
a record serves to establish his age be-
yond question. and through this his
right to the legal period Of schooling and
freedom from labor. 1t may also serve
TO establish his right to a disputed in
heritance and 10 establish for him vari
Gus property or other legal rights which
may be in dispute. There are numerous
instances where the lack Of this sort oi
record has been the cause Of serious los
SEES of inheritance and of educational
and other rights.
In New York City, in 1919, the birth
records helped TO enforce the personal
or property rights to more than lbs. OOO
persons.
1t IS, in most states. required by law
that the doctor. midwife or other atten
dants at birth shall report the birth To
the registrar Of births. but as this duty
is not ~infrequently neglected, parents
should investigate TO see whether it has
been done properly in the ease Of their
children.
The complete registering of all births
Indispensable, not only to the individual
but {" the state and the nation.
The federal government can ond does
tell how great is the accession to our pop
ulation each year by immigration. or
intake rom foreign lands. At each port
of landing immigration inspectors record
each arrival and tell us his or her na
~tionality. age sex and destination, how
mcuh money each brings. But the fec
eral government can not go into the
states and cities and establish registra
ton Offices and tell us how many enter
each state by birth. This work must
he lone by each state separately. We
have no national book keeping TO account
for the ebb and flow of human life as an
asset and q liability Of our civic organ
ism. We have no national records to
give our sanitariums and students a'ba
sis for their preventive studies. Congress
by resolution has urged the states to en-
act and enforce suitable registration leg
islation. The state governments must
now act.
Most Of the STATES have adequate laws
their enforcement, however, depends to
n large extent upon support. This sup
port is assured il individual parents
will insist upon the registration of each
birth.

CoNsPIRACIEs ALLEGED
United States to Take Vigorous
Steps Against violators Of
Neutrality.

Washington, Feb. S--Severa1
weeks investigation by agents of thu
department of justice resulted in the
voting of indictments today by the
federal grand jury in San Francisco
against prominent figures in what are
considered here to be two OF the bold
est plots involving American neutral
ity that have been #uncovered since
the European war began.
First Ones Voted
Among those against whom indict-
ments were voted, according to a mes
sage received here, ,arc Franz Bopp
German consul-genefal; Baron E. Fl
Won Shak, vice consul Of Germany
and Maurice Hall, the Turkish con
sulgeneral.
Consular officers do not enjoy the
diplomatic immunities which ambas'
sadors, ministers and attaches are
given by international law, but are
subject to the jurisdiction Of the
country in which they are resident
and may be treated by he law as are
other persons.
The indictments voted today, how.
ever, are the first which the Ameri.
can government has attempted TO Sc
cure against any foreign representa-
tives. This fact was taken to mean
that hereafter the administration
means TO prosecute wherever prose.
cution will lie, any offender against
American neutrality.
Charged With Completely.
E'opp and Won Shak are charged
with completely in the plot, which
was first uncovered seVeral weeks

ways to help the cause of the Teuton
ic allies.
Bopp is accused Of being the head OF
conspiracy which hoped to accom-.
plish this end by interfering with
trade in munitions and preventing
railway shipments by blowing up two
tunnels on Canadian roads. The in.
dictment of the Turkish cOnsul-gen-
eral was voted in connection with
The use of the steamer, SACRAMENTO
to supply German ships of war in
the South Pacific, which ended in the
internment of that vessel by the Chill
can government many months ago.

NAVY READY
FOR TROUBLE
SAYS ADMIRAL
Refuses, However, to Devulge
Any Department Military
Secrets.
PACIFIC SQUADRON
is ADEQUATE

Washington, Feb. S.-Congress
made progress today on national pre-
paredness measures.
The senate military committee
closed its hearings on the e|army bill.
The senate naval committee reported
favOrably a bill for a government al
NOR plate factory and recommended
immediate passage Of two emergency
navy measures which passed the
house yesterday.
On the house side of the capitol,
the navy committee virtually conclud-
ed it's examination of Rear Admiral
Blue, chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, andn the military committee re-
ceived the proposals Of the American
Red Cross for greater government in
Red Cross preparedness plans.
The most striking statement
brought out at the hearings was that
OF Rear Admiral Blue. who, declared
the American navy was ready to, meet
any enemy it might be called upon to
meet in the Pacific. He declined to
say what steps had been taken in the
last year and half toward preparing
the navy against emergencies, hold
ing these to be military secrets.
Chairman Padgett supported Admi-
raj Blue in his determination not to
reveal department secrets, Overruling
Representative Britten's attempt to
find out, as he expressed it, whether
the navy is now ready to flght.'
The senate military committee
probably will begin tomorrow the
the preparation of bill that propos-
es to build up adequate land de-
fenses.
