Moore. strnnd-"CivIItratIon."

civilization" the latest and most am
bilious achievement in the cinema field.
has been secured for this city by Tom
Moore after great effort and expense, and
will have its initial local production to-
day at the Strand Theater. Heralded as
the picture that should stop the war" it
shows most realistically the utter futility
of warfare in this enlightened age.
The story OF Civilization" in brief re-
lates of a war begun by an imaginary
king for the qualification of his ambition
and his love of conquest Its final sue
cess depends upon the operations of a
particularly deadly submarine, the inven-
ton of the kings nephew. At the crucial
moment, when orders are given the young
man to destroy the Arcadia, an ocean
liner bearing ammunition as we'll as pas
sengers, the vision of finances and the
horrors his act will precipitate, stay his
hand. He opens the sea valves OF his
submarine, laundering the vessel. Almost
dead, he Is brought to the king. While
in this trance Christ is supposed to re-
turn for while and live in his body. He
comes back to life to preach peace.
Gradually the influence of the Mothers
of Men" secret society of women. and
of the nephew, bear upon the king and he
signs a pact of peace. The nephew dies
but peace and happiness are restored.
Battles, land and naval, marvelously
realistic all af them; air raids destroying
towns and scattering desolation with ap-
palling versmiltude, trench, bayonet,
gun warfare, every fendish invention Of
hate is pictured. The Lusitania disaster
is vividly recalled by the submarine war
fare, which results in the sinking of an
ocean liner by a well-directed torpedo.
Panic-stricken men, women, and children
crowd the decks, crowded boats capsiZe
the awful struggle of the drowning men
are shown, and the frantic fights for
places in the frail lifeboats are pictured.
Huge armies of infantry, cavalry, ar
tillery; fleets of war vessels; battleships,
aeroplanes, submarines: every other sci
entific death-dealing device that this
country has produced were utilized to
make Civilization" a battle drama, COM
prehensive and convincing. Real cities
States navy co-operated in the staging
of its sea fights.
The acting cast includes the better
known Ince players, namely Howard
Hickman, Enid Markey, Herschel Mayell
Leila May, Charles K. French, Thelma
UTllman. George Fisher, ]. Barney Sherry
and others. In addition to the picture
itself there will be a scenic prologue
with introduction of Prof. Warmbath, the
Arctic explorer, who will briefly detail the
origin of life and civilization.
To insure the proper presentation Of
the film Mr.. Moore has engaged the en-
tire stage crew Of the Criterion Theater
New York, for the effects, William Walk
er, Thomas Ince's electrical expert will
direct the lighting and Prof. Louis MAN,

Citizen Soldiers Expected 70
Soon Tire Of Drudgery Of
Camp Life Without The Ga
NOR Of Actual Warfare

Washington, July 5.--Unless un-
toward events develop, militIamsn
now stationed on the border or rush
ing there probably win be back IN
their homes within the NEXT four,
months. How to ali their places. how
ever, Is problem to which president
Wilson and army men are giving seri-
|o=s consideration.
Men In touch with both the mill
tia and political aspects Of the Mexf-
can situation said frankly today that
when the glsmor Of prospective war
wears on. as 1t now seems likely 70
do. militiamen win seek to avoid u
drudgery and camp life and get back
to their families and employments.
Military men say police work along
the border is strictly the regular
|army's Job and that the administra-
ton must hearken to the inevitable
protests Of gusrdsmen sgainst any
long continued border service.
Taking these elements into con-
|sideration. military men said openly
today ths-stay OF the militia will mot
be long unless an unforeseen and un-
expected situation arises. Moreover,
General Pershing's forces doubtless
will be back ON the border within Z
brief time, for there is not any rea-
son for continuing them where they
are now. it is privately admitted.
When the militia is removed, Z
larger regular army force doubtless
will be needed for police duty. About
10000 men--the first increment un-
der the army reorganization bill
will be available this year; other sim
liar increments will be available each
year for the coming four years.
But President Wilson could con-
solidate these increments and obtain
them all this year II he chose.
The administration has made no de-
cision yet as to what 1t will do On
this point, but the proposition Is de-
stined to become vital one within
a brief time.
Military men say that II some such
a step is not taken soon. the militia
system win completely break down
through the fact that the national
guardsmen will be dissatisfied with
mere police duty--and no action
while their families perhaps are in
want at home.
