BATTLE CRY OF PEACE"
AT LYRIC THEATER FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER
4 AND z.

The Battle Cry of Peace" will be
presented at the Lyric theater, Fri
day and Saturday, September l and
2, afternoon and evening.
The Battle Cry of Peace" made
it's first appearance in Boston in the
Majestic theater last night to a
crowded house. The need of prepar-
edness, not for but against war, was
greatly emphasized and made an i'm
preston in the mind of every think
ing person present.
Modern devices of war were shown
and the ~inadequacy of the defense or
this country was revealed. Scales are
shown which compare the armament
OF this country with others. such as
England, France, Russia, etc, and II
is shown how poorly We compare
with the other powers.
The possibilities OF a hostile army
invading New York. and the amount
of damage that could be wrought is
wildly pictured and though 1t is
merely conjecture, the tremendous
possibility of such an invasion is
made apparent.
Peace contenders are severely
! flayed and a bit of humor is shown
at a peace meeting before the in
vasion which eventually ends in a
melee to which the police are sum-
moned TO restore peace.
The invading force is a purely
imaginary people with nondescript
uniforms. The leader and head of
this force is named Emanon, which.
when spelled backwards, is mo
name"
There is a thrilling scene where a
mother and two daughters are cap
tured by the invaders. Though
somewhat grewsome, the scene is
well acted and the heroic sacrifice
made by the mother impresses with
realistic force the suffering of the
women in times of war.
Capt. Jack Crawford, scout. poet
and a veteran of the civil war, gave
a patriotic address and urged more
attention to the issue of prepared
ness.

gave a very interesting talk and tolc

SCHOOL


Arlington, Aug. 30.-The local
board of education evidently believes
in the value of printers ink, for ii
is running a two column advertise
ment in the Arlington Sun, telling of
the advantages offered in the course
of study adopted in the Arlington
public schools. 1t Is believed this
method of publicity will result in
many additional students being Sc
cured from out of town. who would
be required to pay a monthly tut
ton fee, which would materially aid
in taking care of the expenses for
running the school. This Is the first
instance in South Dakota in which
the advantages of public schools
have been set forth in paid adver-
tisements in a newspaper.

SHIPS
 CARRY MOST PASSENGERS

Despite the perils of submarine warfare 100000 persons crossed the Atlantic between American and Flu ropean ports as passengers last year. Figures assembled in the bureau of Navigation at Washington show that 25O, 1000 of them travelled on vessels owned by belligerents. One hund- red and fifty thousand took passage on neutral ships.
 Slightly more than half the Allan tic travellers were astbound, and Italian ships carri.i. more than yes lsels of any other nation. Only 3S,- 1000 of the passengers travelled first class. Two hundred and seventy thousand went in the steerage.

MUST GET A DIVORCE
 OR QUIT HIS POSITION

Henry Ford, who agreed to bring peace in Europe and failed, has car ried the Oscar II idea into the homes of his employees, according to revela- tions made before Judge E. Sullivan, of the Superior court in Chicago,
 The peace leaders rules provide that employees and their wives who disagree must hoist the white flag, ob- tain divorces or quit the employ of the company and lose their $5 a day in wages.
 Henry Carter, a porter, who receiv- ed his $5 a day from the company, re- cefved a divorce from his wife on a charge of desertion, and his witness was Walter H. May, formerly super intendent of the sociological depart ment of the Ford works.
 May revealed the idea of the manu- facturer that the workman who quar- rels with his wife makes poor work man all day.
 "As I understand, from the rules of the company, man that is in the predicament that Mr. Carter is now in will lose his position unless he is able to secure separation from his wife," asked the lawyer

 "I'll give him decree," Judge Sul- livan said.

TOBACCO THRIVES
 MN THE KANTISHNA

It has often been said that no one as yet has realized the wonderful op- portunities offered in every line in the Territory of Alaska. This has been truthful1y said, for the latest surprise to be furnished is the grow ing of tobacco in the Kantishna. To- bacco has been raised before in the Interior, but it was considered a "joke." To the people of the Kan !tishna the raising of tobacco is no joke.
 Pete Anderson and Ollie Hjelvig have brought down from the Kan tishna some of the seed from the tobacco grown there, and Geogre Bellows, proprietor of tho Bijou, is going to ship some of the tobacco and some of the seed to the states. i The residents of the Kantishna district have matured the tobacco and it is now in general use around Glacier city. It is used both as pipe tobacco and for cigars. The plant grows to height of five or six feet and is hardy one. ! "A piece Of ground on the flats near Glacier city, not far from Bear Pew river. was cleared of birch. and for an experiment, in the sense of josh, some one suggested that tobacco be grown. MT. Anderson and MT. Hjelvig took it seriously, and the result is today the residents of the Kantishna are commenting upon the excellent flavor of tobacco that was raised on these birch flats.
 The first year the tobacco did not amount to much. The second year, the plants were started in the house, under glass, and were later trans planted just the same are are cab bage plants raised around Fairbanks. 'The result has been extraordinary. to say the least. Old gardeners who are located on the Kantishna, men who have had experience in tobacco rais- ing stated last fall that the soil had just the proper ingredients for the raising of tobacco, and that there T. is no reason why excellent tobacco could not be raised there.
 At any rate. anyone who has lived in the Kantishna, near Glacier City, will assure any one who doubts that this story is a true one. that it is in no sonse of the word "a pipe dream v but is founded on fact and is the truth.

Scott Promotes Scott.

Major General Hugh l.. Scott, while similar to the situation which con- fronted with problem somewhat faced the lord chancellor in Gilbert and Su1livan's opera "Iolanthe." His lordship was the guardian of a score or two of attractive young women. Any man who wanted to marry one of them was obliged to get the courts permission. The lord chancellor wanted to marry one of them him. self, but he did not know whether in his capacity as guardian he could act as both lover and judge. His ju- dicial temperament told him that he could not give one of the beauties to himself, and his heart told him other wise. .i4; '''
 When he had been acting as Sec retary of War for few days there was placed on General Scott's desk his newly drawn commission as a major general of the United States Army. Was it proper for Hugh L.. Scott. acting Secretary of War, to sign a commission to Hugh L. Scott which would make him a major gen. eral? The soldier scratched his head, bit his pen, and then sent an orderly down the hall to request the presence in the. Secretary's office of Enoch H. Crowder, judge advocate of the Army the departments law sharp "" The Army's" legal adviser also scratched his head over the question
 propounded to him. Then he con-
 suited the ancient Hardee's tactics
 then the tactics of Upton, then the
 latest manual for small-arms prac-
 tice, and following these read a di-
 gest of the commissary' generals re- port on the food supply of the Army. Then he told his chief to go ahead and sign his own commission.
