dramatic masterpiece, The Esce pe,' =
which is to be the attraction on Wed
nesday at the Bismarck theater, is
based on the problem Of eugenics and
shows marriage selection among hu.
. man beings in aspects both Of good
, and evil. Paul Armstrong, the auth
a. of the very successful play of the
same name, is an ardent believer in
the necessity of preventing marriages
among the unfit"
It happens that this Is one Of the
subjects which can be shown more
powerfully on the screen than on the
stage, because factions speak louder
than words" and because the exper-
fences Of the two young women, who
are tie principal characters, can be
given,sithp infinitely more detail.
The incident, for instance, showing
the death Of an infant-the children
of the unfit" couple-c0uld not be
put on the stage at all. In fact, many
Of the episodes could scarcely be
phrased in language, but the signifi.
canoe Of the events that .transpire are
perfectly evident to the audiences
watching these things occur.
'The Escape" may be described as
showing the escape of a woman from
.poYertYsand degradation, through sin,
suffering and sorrow, to a better life.
It shows woman of naturally fine
instincts triumphing over the condi-
tons of the environment to which
she, has been born.
One of the wonderful qualities Of
this dfama is itsl diversity Of emotion.
It contains the most terrific realism,
the most idealiEed symbolism, the
most thrilling melodrama, the most
serious psychology, the most intense
heart interest, and the most extra
ordinary spectacle.
DR.. D. w. Griffith spent nearly five
after completing the Birth
of Nation" in staging "The Escape"
and devoted himself to the work alb.
solutely without. any financial limita-
tions and with the greatest enthus-
iasm. Scenes which did not satisfy
the director were done over again
and again in order that every action
might be just right and might convey
the utmost meaning.

a compromise by proposing to convert
the disputed territory, which consists
of about $50 acres, into Sino-French
settlement to be administered Jointly
by the French and the Chinese.
The Chinese press and much OF the
Chinese public opposed such a settle

CHANGES PROPOSED
IN THE EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM OF ITALY

Rome, Italy, Dec. 19.-Some changes
in the Italian educational system af-

lister Of Public Instruction, Leonardo
Bianchi, himself a former professor
who says that the public school and
university must be readapted to the
says, that the war will bring us a
clearer national conscience and a
more proper conception of the appli-
cation of science to education.
"In the past the university has been
used too exclusively for purely pro-
fessional careers, without taking ac-
count Of the vast growing activities of
humanity. The future Of the world
lies along material lines, and these un-
iversities must do their share in in
dustrializing scence.
zone immediate necessity is that OF
examinations, which have
always had a tendency to destroy, to
dull, the ends of higher study, to
make them too formal. Universities
must also become character-builders
must teach that intelligence without
ideas of duty. of personal perserver-
ance and energy, is useless. In the
New World. during the present evolu-
ton Of science and industry, 1t is
clearer that the quality Of character
has assumed preponderating i'm.
portance.
Likewise, in the public schools one
of our tasks will be to teach that in
the struggle for life only the honest
victory is worth WHILE"
