How would you feel some fine sunny morning if you woke up early in order to take a peep at the box score on the front page of your morning newspaper and found in it's place a glaring headline something like this Atlantic Fleet De- stroyed: Invaders Take New York City? Probably in this, the greatest, richest, brainiest and most up-to-the-minute na- tion on earth, you cannot imagine such a thing. Americans are courageous, they are game and can fight like blazes for their rights, as has been shown in va rious tests, you may argue. And we all know that because of the youth of our nation and of the fighting stock that first settled it that there is considerable of the old Indian fighter" in our blood yet, but
 J. Stuart Blackton, author of what is said to be the world greatest motion picture, "The Battle Cry of Peace," takes up the subject of our preparedness to fight and not of our courage or willing ness to fight. In this picture pacifists who shout against increasing the army and navy for national defense receive a body blow. In vivid pictures and through startling subtleties those who decry war preparedness are brought face to face with the disaster that might ensue should a powerful nation invade our shores in our present military state.
 No attempt has been made by the au- thor to handle his subject with kid gloves. Our military state is shown as it appears to him and some startling comparisons are drawn showing how this nation ap-

MICE AND MEN' AT THE STRAND
 WITH MISS CLARK
"The Golden Chance" With Cleo Ridgely, Is Another Paramount Offering at
 Popular Theatre

President T S. Abernethy of the Strand theatre announces an ambitious pro- gramme for this week. Today he offers the roaring farce, Excuse Me-, with George Marion, limitation of the suc- cessful affair of the same name. Other stars at the Strand this week will be Marguerite Clark, Cleo Ridgeley, Wallace Reid, Harold Lockwood and May Allison.
 In the early part of last week the Pathe Gold Rooster play, Excuse Me- from the pen of Rupert Hughes, was advertised at the Strand. It made such hit that it was shown yesterday at the Colonial theatre. Again yesterday the patrons were turned away from Excuse Me" at the Colonial and therefore at a late hour last night Manager Abernethy decided to run this popular farce comedy again to- day at the Strand.
 Excuse Me" was first produced sev- eral years ago by Henry W. Savage and scored an instant success All the action of the play takes place in a Pullman car and it affects the fortunes and misfor- tunes of several married and nearly mar ried couples who, for various reasons of their own, are on their way to Reno. But then what is the use of telling every one about the plot Go and see the pie ture for yourself-it's a screami

 FROM BEATEN PATH

pears as compared with the preparedness of other powers.
 FROM BEATEN PATH
 The author has deviated far from the beaten path in picture drama building. To drive home his message he shows war in all its brutality and gruesomeness,- car rying his theme into two peaceful homes which suffer from the invasion of for eign army. Possibly this picture is so widely different because of the absence of the happy ending so often found and looked for in the average drama of the screen or stage. Those who will sit through the picture expecting the Amer ican soldiers to repel the invading army in the end will be disappointed But one usually leaves the theatre with new viewpoint after viewing '"The Battle Cry of Peace for this picture certainly awak- ems the spectator to the needs of pro- today. In this play the American sol diers do have their inning with the en- emy and fight with almost unbelievab ble bravery, but suffer a disastrous defeat and bow to the enemy, accepting peace at any price,"
 AS rule at the end of the two hours performance picturing realities and fan tasies by double photography, attended by an inspiring musical score and suit able effects, the spectators in the audi ence are heard to comment on the woefuI weakness of America. Statistical dia- grams of wealth and population compare this country with other nations of im- portance and show how ridiculously small is the army and navy that Uncle Sam provides to safeguard his property.
