REAL BLACKEYE
INF|GHT Scene

Laura Hope Crews magnetism and
beauty contribute largely TO the sue
cess of "BlacIbirds,' the great T.asky
crook drama nov being presented at
the Liberty theater. Thomas Neigh
an, also in a crook role, adds con-
siderably to the drama. The plot
opens in Algeirs. where 4 gang Of
American and English crooks prey on
the wealthy tourist, specializing in
Americans. The scenes later shift to
New York where the final climax is
filled with thrills and surprises.
A most realistic scene is a fight in
Algiers when Meigham. in the role Of
English Jack DogginS frames" 10 be
attacked in order to make the &C
Quaintance of a wealthy American
family. Meigh9L is z former football
player and when the film was being
made told the bandits who were to
attack him to make it coed The
result was a black eye for Meighan,
also badly sprained wrist, while one
of the bandits vas sent TO the hos
pital with a pair of broken ribs. The
picture shows every evidence of
good fight.
The Diamond From the Sky con-
tinues to hold the interest Of the serial
fans as it nearS its conclusion. The
plot becomes deeper, with frequent
mysterious hints of genuine dramatic
climaxes in the near future.

With a dozen or so people killed

automobiling, 1t must be admitted, IS

of the risk, however is due to the

they come in contact on the road. IL
is from them that the careful, sem

to strictly enforce all regulations
against "hogging the road. Another
way would be to strengthen the laws

AMERICAN NEUTRALITY

with the round trip of the subma-
rine Deutschland completed. Germany
ought to be convinced that the United
States is absolutely neutral as far as
the belligerents of Europe are con-
cerned. One of the contentious OF
the Germans has been that because
Germany was prevented from trading
with us. we ought to prevent all trade
with the Allies so as to treat all alike.
The United States has always con-
tended that we were just as ready to
trade with Germany as with any
other nation, but could not help 1t II

miles OF England from trading with
America 1t was argued, and with
reason, that for the United states to
forbid trading with the Allies because

would be for us to take sides in the
war and prevent England from en-
joying one of the principal advant-
ages OF her enormous feet.

the Journal of the American Museum
of Natural History. He tells us that
there are no less than 25.000.OOO cats

course, New York State can probably
lay claim to greater density of pop

just as 1t does in humans.
1t might be safe to estimate that
the %. 5.O00,o000 cats the country over
make away with that many birds
yearly. Therefore, many other states
besides New York and Massachu-
setts have probably lost millions Of
dollars in single year, which loss
could be laid at the cats door. The

So much for the cat at large-the

cats is Mr.. Forbush's chief concern.

cut the feline population in half. he
thinks. Il certainly would, and then
some, provided the license were high

that millions of dollars would there

crops. If disease breeding and dis

LULL IN THE CAMPAIGN

II Democratic newspapers are taunt-
ing the Republicans just at present
because of what seems to be lack
of interest in politics, and the slow
ness of the campaign. Even some
Republicans are growing restive, and
seem to feel that there is not enough
pep" in the fight to elect Mr..
| Hughes. Many seem to think that a
frost has settled over the Republi-
cans, and the Democrats are doing
everything possible to encourage the
feeling.
But the fact must be taken into
consideration that the Republican
candidate is now on a tour to the
Pacific coast, and that while we are
experiencing a lull here. the West IS
being thoroughly aroused. There is
nothing like the actual presence Of
the candidate himself to stir up en-
thusiasm. Ordinarily, the West must
struggle along without the presence
OF the candidate at all. excepting for
a brief visit now and then, but here
we have become so accustomed to
having the candidate with us or with-
m easy coach that we feel lost with
out his presence.
When the candidate is in this
section of the country the newspapers
are full Of his doings. All his callers
are faithfully recorded. If his hat
blows off during an automobile ride.
the public is not only informed of the
fact, but the name Of the man who
picked 1t up and handed It to him Is
also given. His every utterance is
faithfully recorded, and so the cam
paign is kept moving merrily along.
But It is different when the candi-
date is in the far west The telegraph
tolls are too high to permit reporting

just at present. Mr.. Hughes and his
wife are being photographed in every
conceivable pose. They are being
written about and talked about a!
never before. Their very presence
stirs things up, just as the presence
of candidate puts vigor into the
campaign here.

hearty welcome Although the sub
marine had heretofore always been
considered purely as war vessel, it
was announced that the Deutschland
was a commercial craft pure and
simple, and she was so declared Off
cially by this government. She was
accorded every protection that such a
craft could expect. and Captain
Koenig and his crew have nothing
but praise for their treatment in
America. Not only was the cargo
which the Deutschland brought over
eagerly received on this side of the
Atlantic, but she readily secured a
return cargo of whatever Germany
was in most need of. and has carried
it safely home.
1t is evident. therefore, that it was
not the United States that stood in
the way of trade with Germany, but
the British navy. Now that Germany
has found a way of eluding the
British navy there is nothing to pre-
vent all the commerce between the
two countries that Germany can carry
on. But 1t would be decidedly un-
neutral for the United States to have
assisted the Germans in any way, to
overcome the British blockade, which
we would have done had we refused
to trade with the Allies because the
Allies prevented Germany from en-
joying the same privilege.
Soon, we are told, we are to have
the Bremen, another submarine, in
one OF our ports, carrying another
cargo, and to load more goods for
Germany that are so badly needed
there. She win receive the same
welcome and protection that the
Deutschland received. 1t ought to be
clearly understood by this time thrt
the United States. as far as the
government is concerned. is playing
no favorites in this great struggle.

Washington, Aug. 25:-"Jablohica
and the pass of the same name, which
the Russians are said to have occu-
Pied constitute one of the most i'm
portant gateways through the high
Carpathian mountains from Galicia
and Bukowina into Hungary" says
today's war geography bulletin of the
National Geographic Society issued
from its Washington headquarters:
THE Carpathians in this vicinity
tower to height of 1900 feet. but
slope gradually down to the south
west through the county of Marina
ros. At q distance of forty-fve miles
from the crest the capital of the
province, Maramaros-Sziget, is stu
ated at level of only 900 feet above
the sea.
"Jablonica cIings to the northeast
ern slope Of the Carpathians. between
the headwaters of the Pruth and the
Golden Bistritza rivers, and is a small
station on the seventy-two-mile rail-
way line connecting Stanislau, now in
the hands of the Russians, with Ko-
rosmezo, Just beyond the pass, to the
southwest. Near Korosmezo are val
uable petroleum springs.
The important river Thesis, chief
afHuent of the Danube, and, next to
the latter the largest waterway in
Hungary has its source in Marmaros
county Situated on the Thesis and
connected by rail with Korosmezo is
the fiOurishing town of Maramaros-
Sziget, with a population of $1,000.
This will be the first important objec-
tive of the Russians after they cross
the Carpathians by way of the Jab-
lonica Pass and begin their descent
upon the plains OF Hungary.
"MaramaEos- Sziget Is most pleas
antly situated at the juncture of the
liza river with the Thesis. To the

mines of three villages contiguous to
the county capital. The annual fairs
which were held here were an Inn

Kaleidoscope of color resulted from

Sziget district have been worked for
centuries and many Americans who
have toured this part of Hungary
have visited the deep galleries whose
rock-crystal walls glitter as If studded
with countless fridescent jewels as
they reflect the rays of the electric
lights. One of the most interesting
mines is that of Ronaszek which con-
tains a great subterranean salt lake
