'THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE

The Battle CRY % Peace" Will
have its first appearance here at the
Oliver theater on ncxt sunday for
eight days.
Modern devices OF war are shown
and the inadequacy Of the defense
of the country are revealed; scales
are shown which compare the anna
ment of this country with others,
such as England. France. RUssi a,
etc. and it is shown how poorly we
compare with the other powers.
Possibilities of a hostile army in
vading New York. and the amount
of damages that could be wrought
is wildly pictured and though it is
merely conjecture the tremendous
possibility of such invasion is made
apparent
There is a thrilling scene whore a
mother and two daughters are cap
tured by the invaders; though some
what gruesome the scene is we'll
acted and the heroic sacrifice made
by the noble mother impresses with
realistic force the suffering of the
women i'm times of war.
The need of preparedness not for
but against war is impressed upon
the minds of the American people,
through the new spapers these days
and the need is indeed great.
