NntionaL~Thc Birth of a Nation,

"The Birth of a Nation" D. w. Grif-
fth's marvellous spectacle, starts to-
morrow on its second Washington
week. For the past six days the Ma
'tional Theater has been filled twice
daily to its utmost capacity. and the
enthusiasm of the vast crowds has
known no bounds. The historic fea-
lures of this presentation have at
tracted wide attention and educators
all over the world have been convinced
that there is no more effective way to
tell the story of a nation. In pictorial
form are shown such stirring events
in American history as Sherman's
march to the sea, the last gallant
stand of the Confederates at Peters,
burg, the surrender at Appomattox, the
assassination of President Lincoln and
the saving of the South by the Ku
Klux Klan.
which will make an indelible impress
sion on both children and adults. Rum
ming through the historical scenes are
two romantic love stories in which a
colonel of the South loves the sister
of an officer of the North, and the Of
ficer OF the North loves the sister OF
the colonel of the South. The proud
spirit of the Southern girl and the
equally proud spirit of the Northern
maid are shown in as thrilling and
soul-gripping a story as was ever
staged, Love turns to hate and then
to love again as each girl watches the
grim struggle with partisan eyes and
remains loyal to the land of her birth.
These love themes are taken from

THE STEAM ROLLER is OUT OF DATE

OTEAAi-RoLLER methods in the organiza-
- ton of the Republican National Convention
four years ago were largely responsible for the
split in the party. The prospects for harmony
this year are likely TO go glimmering II an at
tempt is made TO use the same tactics again.
The report from Chicago that William
Barnes has been attempting TO bring about the
choice OF Senator Sutherland or some other
standpat conservative as temporary chair
man indicates that Barnes. at least has not
learned anything in four years. His colleagues
on the National Committee are expected to be
wiser than he. The rank and file OF Re
publican voters are in no mood to accept the
guidance Of any committee which tries to tie
the hands OF the delegates and plans TO make
up a preliminary roll containing the names
OF only those who can be trusted 70 obey
orders from the group Of leaders d:scredited in
the last campaign.
II must be an open convention, with all con-
tests decided on their merits. 1t must be rep
Tesentatiye OF the voters at large. Its
temporary and final roll must be above sus-
picion, and its temporary and permanent
presiding officers must be men whose fair
nllndedness commands The instant respect q

THE SPINNER

In golden hours OF youth she spun
The web OF life away;
The thread OF love athwart Il ran
The warp in colors gay.
A stubborn heart had she at best
And lips too prone 10 say
That which would prove her hearts unrest
And hold content at bay.
'I win do as I will" she thought,
And not Thy will be done"
All knowledge here was dearly bought
AS wayward fingers spun
She spun forgetfulness ana pride
within the woof OF life,
With clever fingers she could hide
The tangled ends Of strife.
And then she spun with tear-dlmmed ewes
In pattern none might heed
Despair; for she had grown too wise
To let the proud world read.
And now the strands have shorter grown
- With pleading lips she prays,
Lord, grant q finished work be shown
At closing OF my days"
An. thus an spin from morn I'm eve;
Weeks follow weeks-years follow years.

An article from Constantinople. brought
by the German papers of the 5th, would
persuade us that the Sultan is determined
upon prosecuting the war, as the orders he
has issued for the increasing his army
show; but such a policy he would pursue,
were he disposed to make peace. No power
is likely to terminate a war honorably,
as the power that shows itself able to con.
tlnue it vigorously.

l. sire to negotiate separate peace, the above
quotation from the Saturday Evening Post is
interesting. Yep, it is SO; it's from that issue of

world:

by the Ambassador, Mr.. Fletcher at one of

foreigner in Santiago. Chilli. The Ambassador
said on that occasion:
"Let us remember the visions OF our ances.

dedicate ourselves to the fulhlment OF the
great destiny they dreamed of and which it
lies within our power 10 realize. do not say

took over the building. Arredondo, as conf

State Department than any of the other rep
resentatives of Mexican factions in Washing
ton, either before or since the break. In
fact, he was very well liked by official Wash
ington and his appointment as Ambassador
was received with pleasure. The appoint
ment was not a surprise. 1t was he who engi-
neered the negotiations for General Carranza
which led to recognition by the United States
and the other Powers. 1t was to him that
the letters of recognition were presented.
Carranza has unbounded confidence in the
capacities and abilities of Arredondo. Not
only that but this confidence is shared by
Secretary Lansing and by Washington Off.
cials and diplomats generally. Arredondo is
a Mexican first, but he shows an understand
ing of foreign viewpoints. He is open.minded
to the claims of other countries than his
own. He is enthusiastically devoted to the
task of bringing Mexico once more into the
PanAmerican family with stable govern.
ment and a reconstructed enonomlc life. He
believes that the moral support of outsiders
is necessary to rehabilitation. Against those
who have fought against Carranza he har.
bors no grudge and he wishes to see them
take their parts as good citizens in the re-
building of the nation. He has hope and
faith yet he knows the difficulties ahead.
Career of Constructiyeness
Arredondo's career has been in civil,
not military life He is a lawyer and a scholar.
Coming from Carranza's own State, Coahuila
he has been intimately associated with the
First Chief for years. He is, moreover, a
cousin of CarranZa. But he himself has taken
no part in factonal conspiracies and strife, ex-
cept in nonmiftary capacities. After gradu-
ating from the Institute of the "Fuentes
Atheneum," at Saltillo, he opened law office
In the succeeding years he served as Judge of
various Mexican courts After the Madero rev.
olution he was appointed Secretary of State of
Coahua. After the usurpation of Huerta he
was entrusted with important missions by
General Carranza, who finally sent him to
Washington.
The Ambassador Designate is a quiet, un-

olive skin of northern Mexico, black hair and
