Claire Whitney and William E.
Shay star in drama in which white
woman falls under power of Indian
prince.
Claire (Claire Whitney,, a young
woman in the early twenties, lives in
the London Sums Her only legacy
from her mother, whose life has been
an unclean one, is the admonition to
keep in the straight path. To escape
the unpleasant associations of the old
surroundings, Claire leaves London
and goes to India to live with her
aunt. She is welcomed Hospitality
and new faces and friendships sup
plant those of the s1ums, and the or

Shortly after her arrival at her
aunt's home Claire meets Captain
Dick Clayton, who is stationed with
his regiment in India. Dick is at

his sister and spends much time in the

Answering the above Mr.. Birks
spoke in part as follows:
Suppose this picture drawn by Mr..
Collins to be true, what have you got
to say for an authority responsible
for such ignorance, that it should not
be blasted? Yet Mr.. Collins sees no
evidence in this apparent insignifi-
cant picture to answer the question,
What Is Wrong With the World p
And why doesn't he? 1t is because
the ignorance of the majority of the
working class is better adapted to un-
derstand, to love of Goo and the love
of country than their misery and the
cause of their misery, or is there an
other reason?
Referring to Mr.. Collins statement
that Socialism has two languages, Mr..
Birks said:
'"This, in part, is true of existing
social relations, but is not correctly
stated, and the mode of stating OBJ
scures awful neglect of the respon-
sibilities of the nations; whether
claimed to be founded on the love of
God or human greed, not two lang
uages, but neglect of duty. So it
did not occur to Mr.. Collins that this
awful blot was caused by Socialism.
Neither did it occur TO MIN that the
system which showed that they fos-
tered such a gulf between colleges and
universities on the hand and the ter
ribly neglected working class on the
other. is the rropenitoT of Socialism
namely, Capitalism"

]. B|RKS SPEAKS ON
WHAT is WRONG
WITH The WORLD
DELIVERS AN ADDRESS AT AR
MoRY HALL IN REPLY TO RE-
CENT SPEECH OF COLLINS.

A crowd of several hundred gath
cred In Armoryf hall last night and
heard an address by James Birks I'M
der the auspices of the local Socialist
party. His address was in answer to
the recent talk by Peter Collins, un-
der the auspices of the Knights of
Columbus, the latter stating, from
his point of view 'FWhat Is the Matter
With the World"
Mr.. Birks was introduced by W. A.
Smith of the local Socialist party,
and the speaker at the conclusion of
his remarks stated that he would be
pleased to answer any questions pro-
pounded him. Several awaited them
selves of the privilege and were an
swered apparently to the satisfaction
of all.
Opening his address. Mr.. Birks
said:
This occasion finds me less free
from prejudice towards the motives
of the somewhat popular address of
Mr.. Collins, yet none the less APP
preciate such an occasion. First, be-
cause as ever truth comes up
permost, ever is justice done, and also
because Socialism seemed obscured at
this lecture by the exhilaration of
popular opinion.
81 hope this meeting is honored
by representatives Of columbus and
also The Pensacola Journal, so that
my position may be made quite clear,
regarding knights of Columbus and
the committee of the state primary. /
did not say the Knights of Columbus
had concocted that primary. What I
did say was that what seemed as much
solicited was letter from a Mr.. Hud-
son and the announcement of Mr.. Col
Inns lecture appeared in the same is
sue of The Pensacola Journal and was
coincidental, and though the remark
proved very suggestive ! was con-
scious of no motive for making it.
Perhaps the chairman's Grafton sug-
gested It anyhow. The chairman's re-
marks brought into my consciousness
scenes of my boyhood, events and a
chain of subsequences linking to what
may prove connection with awful
consequences now devastating Europe,
so that my mind was, as my material
interests now are, isolated from any
local issues of Pensacola. So with
this explanation It is is expedient to
dismiss this purely local phase of the
meeting to our mutual convenience. !"
The speaker then took up the lee
ture of Mr.. Collins, taking the fol-
lowing extracts from his lecture:
He quoted Mr.. Collins as saying:
Socialism has two languages, one the
language of the colleges and univer-
sites, which means nothing to the ma
jority of the working class because of
their ignorance. The language of
the soap box orator, who works on
the ignorance of the unthinking mem
bers of the working class. =. If you
would know what Socialism is, consult
their leaders, for the majority of the
Socialists do not know what it is. :.
Socialism did not come from the work
ing class and has nothing to do with
it. {. Socialism is atheism, it's. doc
trine is blasphemy, and misleading
hundreds of thousands of men and
women today by declaring itself to be
Of the working, by the working class
and for the working class. 1t would
abolish religion, even marriage and
the family. It would blast the foun=
dalton of authority and civilization"

Many of the minor ailments have

None of the belligerent nations and
none Of the neutral nations would re
fuse hearty welcome to real peace,
but there is a neutral and iustifable
hesitation about accepting in lieu of
peace an armed truce, during which
one Of the nations involved in the war
would set about repairing the mistakes
that have denied TO that nation a con
iidently expected victory. The imperial
general staff of that nation knows that
somehow and somewhere the scheme of
preparedness, so long and so carefully
planned, failed. No doubt the members
of the staff have been busily engaged
in finding out wherein the failure Law,
and in making the plans for the future
so complete that failure will be i'm
possible the next time. That sort of
peace hasn't much in it to commend it
TO the nations that would like to see a
! definite end of war, or at least a long
escape from war and its horrors.

10000 Americans Killed,
(St. Adams Messenger.D

If a battle involving American
troops We're fought with casualties in
killed and wounded amounting to 190,-
600 what a wave of horror would sweep
over the country. The same would be
true if the list should mount to such
a figure in single campaign. Yet war
is organized slaughter On the other
hand statistics have been published
showing that more than 10000 persons
have been killed and 100000 injured
while trespassing ON the railroads of
the United States in the past 20 years.
But there is little thought OF this
casualty list, simply because it ism t
localized as to time. Probably some
who read this paragraph will within a
few hours be taking short cut to some
destination via the railroad tracks. No
one thinks that he will be the one to be
cut down by the locomotive or the
shunted car. 1t will be someone else.
But in 10000 eases it WASH t someone
else. You, Mr.. Trespasser, may be the
next victim and figure in the statistics
of the future. Think of it in that light
you, who walk hand in hand with Death
