USES MISSOURI PLATFORM

The President has utilized as basis for this work features of the Missouri state democratic platform, which was prepared, officials made known tonight, under the direction of the White House.
 Following out this idea it is under stood that the national platform will de- clare the success of the administration in guarding the honor and interests of the United States in the face of obstacles and the same time keeping the nation at peace. The administration cham pionship against all belligerents of the rights of America and all neutrals on the high seas, will be praised, with the statement that the results will be of great importance to American commerce.
 The Mexican situation will be referred to, it is said, by praise of the Presi- dents refusal to allow the nation to be drawn into the internal strife raging in Mexico, and of the prompt action in ordering troops across the border after the Columbus massacre
 Another section is expected to 1aud the administration for maintaining the Mon roe doctrine and fostering fair dealing with the other republics of the western hemisphere resulting in the building up of trade with those nations.
 AMERICA FIRST
 Finally, it is understood the foreign af- IdlfS pldnk VIII dllSH Ile party pSHillu the President in placing America first with reference to all questions, both in- ternational and domestic.
 The tariff is expected to be the sub- ject of an important plank, the platform coupling the Underwood revision with the currency law and other constructive leg islation of the past four years in a pros- perity declaration. President Wilson S preparedness programme will occupy an- other prominent place in the platform
 It is indicated by administration of ficials that the plank dealing with the tariff will embody the substance of an letter written by the Presi- dent in 1914 to Senator Underwood, then majority leader of the House. The Presi- dent wrote that the principle followed in the democratic tariff was that each duty levied was to be tested by the in- qury whether it was put at such figure and levied in such a manner as to pro- yoke competition"
 He also declared it was clear chat the reduction of the tariff, the simplification of it's schedules so as to cut away the jungle in which secret agencies had so long worked, the correction of it's inaccu- racies and it's thorough recasting, with the single object of revenue, were an in- dispensable first step to re-establishing competition"

HT is possible to have a photoplay dealing with the eternal triangle A without it's sordid aspects as was shown yesterday at the Strand theatre by the World Film production of His Brothers Wife" with Carlyle Black well and Ethel Clayton in the leading roles. While the picture dealt with dangerous subject, it was one of the cleanest shown in Birmingham in months, and incidentally it was one of the most interesting productions of the season.
 His Brothers Wife" contains a story that takes one from the Aus tralian plains to New York. From sumner to winter from the nursery to the parlors; from wealth to poverty and back to wealth; then finally to the supreme sacrifice at the end of brother for brother in order that the sanctity of home remain invioiase.
 It recites the story of Richard Bar ton, wealthy manufacturer, and his happy home. A discharged employe sets fire to his factory, and due to carelessness in not paying the insur- ance premiums, the manufacturer is ruined, and he suffers a physical break down. His brother, Howard Barton, returns from Australia-a rich man. How he meets the wife of his ruined brother and falls in love with her, but keeps silent. How his brother misjudges his wife and orders her away from home. How she goes on the stage and earns a suc- cess and how finally Howard Barton gives half of his fortune to his brother, and after effecting recon ciliation between the husband and wife leaves for Australia There is not a dull moment in this picture, and 1t contains enough material to make three ordinary features. It is, in fact, a great picture It will be shown at the Strand theatre again today.

Farther to the north the Russians
