The Battle Cry Of Peace

by j. Stuart Blackton, featuring Charles
Richman and other eminent vitagraph
stars, will he at the Palace Theatre on
Monday and Tuesday, April 18th and
18th. Following is synopsis of the play
Hudson Maxim, international author
itY on arms and ammunition, delivers a
lecture graphically describing America 3
defenseless condition. John Harrison,
inspired by Maxim 8 disclosures and real
izing the awful consequences to which
our national unpreparedness may lead,
resolves to consecrate his every effort
to the cause of adequate defense. He is
engaged to Virginia Vandergriff, whose
father is an advocate of national dis
armament and "Peace at any Price. "
John makes a fruitless effort to show
Vandergrif the fallacy of his stand.
Vandergriff' 8 friend, Emanon, ,Ostensibly
peace propagandist, but in reality a
foreign spy, is the head of a band of
cOnspirators plotting the invasion of
America. The invaders approach New
York. The news reaches a huge peace
meeting at which Vandergriff is q speak
er. In the midst of this meeting a shell
crashes through the walls of the build
ing. The battleships of the enemy, out
Of range of the guns of Forts Hamilton,
Hancock and Wadsworth, are able to
lombard New York.
Shells are devasting the buildings in !
the downtown district. Homes are desc !
Grated citizens slain without mercy. /
Terror reigns
Johns mother and sister are killed. |
Vandergriff is shot in the street. John I
Is bayoneted in defense of the girl he
owes. As a climax to the horror, Vir-
yinia's mother, to avoid disgrace at the
lands of the enemy, kills her two daugh-
ers and herself.
An allegorical masterpiece is shown
Columbia, crushed, bleeding
md trampled upon by a merciless foe
With Columbia as she should be-proud,
supreme.
Yes, there shall be peace but peace

SEVENTH PAVING DISTRICT PLANNED PETITIONS ARE READY SeciOn East of Main Business District to be Organized in New Improve
 ment District.

Instead of having petition for only one new paving district present ed, the Conway city council will re- ceive petition for still another-the seventh-when it meets in adjourned session Thursday night. The first pe- tion for the latter, which will include large section east of the principal business district of the city, has all ready been drafted and signed, it was announced today.
 The newest district will provide for paving about one-half mile of streets, covering sections where the traffic is very heavy and where good thoroughfares are perhaps worse needed than in any portion of the city. The proposed paving in district No. will begin on the east side of North Front street, at the small cross street running east alongside the Masonic hall, thence east to Spencer street; south on Spencer street to Van Ronkle street, connecting again at this point with district No. 1; thence east on Van RonkIe street to its intersection with East Oak street. and west on East Oak street, to con- meet with the present eastern termi- nus of district No. l. It is also in- tended to pave one block of Chestnut street, connecting East Oak street and Van Ronkle street. From the in tersection of Van Ronkle and East Oak streets eastward it is also plan ned to pave the street to the city limits, although if this is done. gravel or macadam will probably be used on that portion of the street and con- crete on the remainder.
 The sixth district petition, which was not completed in time for pre- sentation to the city council last night, will be ready for the adjourned meeting Thursday night, it was stat ed today. This district includes about one mile of residence streets in the western portion of the city.
 The two new districts will bring the total amount of paved streets in the city to nearly seven miles.
