BATTLE CRY OF PEACE" PROVES
PICTURE PLAY WITH MISSION.
By Louella o. Parsons.

BY Loueila U. Parsons.
The Olympic Theatre stepped into line
last evening, and along with the Colonial,
Stndebaker, Fine Arts and Zeigfeld ac-
cepted as its newest tenant q motion pic
ture. Tie picture, 1.-THE Battle Cry of
Peace" is a pictorial propaganda calling
to arms defenseless America. 1t is plea
against war, not for war, urging as its
battle cry preparedness for war in time
of peace.
''The Battle Cry of Peace" 10 a photo
spectacle with mission. 1t was written
and produced by ]. Stuart Blackton,
president of the Vitagrsph Company.
in an effort to wake in every American a
desire to protect his loved ones. The
story, based on Hudson Maxim's book,
"Defensel ess America" is educational in
its description Of submarines, aeroplanes,
torpedo boats and other implements of
warfare. 1t compares America to other
countries and shows with clearness the
comparative size OF our army and navy.
Hudson Maxim appears, and by means
OF small models, illustrates on the screen
the needs of our country.
A love theme accompanies Mr.. Maxim's
/ instructive lecture.
The house rang with cheers when, dur
ing the intermission. Captain Jack Craw-
ford, veteran of the civil war, who
fought side by side with his father, ap-
peared and spoke in behalf of Mr.. Black
toms mission. Captain Crawford assisted
in the making OF the picture both by act
ing and by gathering the various garri.
sons who are represented. Captain
Crawford waved Old Glory and, while he
said that both he and his father were for.
eign born, America had no better citizens
nor more devoted followers Of the red,
white and blue. The white.haired vet.
eran brought j. Stewart Blackton to the
stage, who was introduced by John Dill
Robertson, the city's health commits
sioner.
Commodore Blackton made a stirring
speech which aroused great enthusiasm
in the audience. He said, those who say
they believe in a certain measure of pre-
paredness are about a. serious as those
who say "God bless you, to a certain ex.
tent" He said, THAT Ford had amassed
fortune and was now preparing to de-
liver it into the hands of any nation which
might desire to invade America, by
spending money for peace instead Of CIV
ing it for navy appropriations. He also
gave William ]. Bryan and Carnegie a
thrust for their blindness in not seeing
that America needed just now better
army and stronger navy, instead of
declaration of universal peace.
Mr.. Blackton said, General Grant
took 30, 900 tons of ammunition and COM
missary supplies, but in this day and age
twice as much could be transported on
one big Atlantic liner" He also stated
he had been informed by men in the
highest army and navy circles that one of
the large European powers could land
5000 men, 10000 horses with supplies
enough to last them three months within
forty days,
"America is In no position to resist
such an invasion at the present time"
he said

The following item of local interest is
taken from the Daily States Baton
Rouge news budget Of Tuesday:
Indications Monday night>were that
serious opposition was brewing over the
clerks Of court anti-fee bill, which lie now
in the House. Senator D. E. Brown, Of
Chatham, jackson parish, voiced his OBJ
lection in a statement.
Meanwhile, the country was being
heard from on the clerks bill. Two
delegations came in on the evening train
from the North Louisiana river parishes
OF Madison and Tensae. They also re-
presented sentiment in East Carroll and
Concordia. Their slogan was "Let us
alone and let us live."
Madison, in the allotment of the bill,
was given salary OF 81. $50 for her clerk
and 81 900 expenses; Tensas was allowed
$500 salary and $3.50 expenses. 1t lie
claimed that Concordia was among those
which will be given all the fees they take in.
That is what Madison and Tensas de-
mand, on the ground that they are par
ishes on a parity with Concordia.
jeff. B. Snyder, district attorney; John
Yerger, clerk of court Of Madison parish;
A. ]. Sewer, Jr., sheriff; George Spen-
