PREPAREDNESS
At PAL ACE
TOMORROW

One Of the most remarkable picture
conception Of modern welfare is to
be shown At the Palace Theater to-
morrow evening.
The Battle Cry Of Peace is the first
motion picture to be produced TO ex-
plot an important nation wide propa-
ganda. 1t is call to arms, not for
war, but for peace, and to my mind,
it has accomplished to a certain ex-
tent, its purpose.
In New York last fall l had occa-
sion to see this remarkable picture,
which was then having IS premiere at
the Vitagrph Theater at prices, we, in
former days paid to see grand ope a
1t created a sensation, even in blase
and sophisticated New York. Of the
million or more people who saw this
picture there was not one, but whom
could appreciate the danger Manhat
tan was in. 1t was shown to them, so
clearly and so convincingly that it was
impossible to disbelieve.
BY mechanical effects one is shown
the tallest building in the world be-
ing destroyed by bombs dropped by
enemy aviators. Ag0in one sees New
York's wonderful skyline wiped out,
the Brooklyn and WILLIAMSBURG
bridges and other great masses of steel
connecting the Boroughs, mass Of
tangled steel, destroyed by ships at
sea, out of range of our large guns.
There is no doubt that this picture
has done more for those who have long
advocated preparedness, than any 9TH
er conception of the age. 1t has been
said that the Battle Cry of Peace
was instrumental in influencing some
of the po k advocates in Congress
to vote for the large appropriations
recently passed by Congress, and it
is probably true
There is also this TO be said of the
pictu e. Once you see it, you will
never forget it.

"The Folly of Desire" to be seen
at the L. & S. theater tomorrow night,
clearly shows in this interesting play
the master hand which gave to the
stare "Milestones" and "Kismet."
That the play has gained in breadth
and atmosphere through it's transfer
from stage to screen is the unani-
nous opinion of those who have seen
it, and revelled in the quaint and re-
alistic Boer farm setting.
The story deals within young wo-
NAN who. like the Shumalite woman
Of Scripture, married an old ma nfor
a home. The man is Boer farmer
+ three-scoe and ten; he expects SER
v;ce almost reaching slavery from
lis young wife, Deborah. Yet withal
he is a religious zealot, and he reads
his Bible with heavy slave whip in
his hand.
To this strange household comes
a young Englishman, driven from
home by a drug-besotted wife. He
awakens in Deborah desire for DIFF
ferent life, and in the books he gives
her. finds stolen pleasure. Her hus-
band tears up the books and Deborah
is saved from beating only by her
exclaiming: "Would you kill a wo-
man-and her child?"
The husband learns from the Eng
lishman's diary that this is not true.
and vows to XII them both.
In one Of the strongest situations
ever staged, when the old man is
about to carry ont his threat. he is
struck dead by lightning. and the eli
max brings TO satisfactory close
marvellous tale of love and suffering,
of sacrifice and reward. such as is
rarely seen. A master play produced
in masterful manner.

Recruiting in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire has been unfortu-
nate in it's response to the call for
the National guard to enter the ma
tional service because the guard was
not up to even the minimum peace
footing. So the men in camp at
Concord must wait until recruits
enough have been secured to make a
full regiment before it can be order
ed to the front. But the state is MAX
ing heroic efforts to get full quota
of men so the state can perform its
full duty to the state.
Last Friday Capt Human of Ber-
lin, Frank Knox of the Manchester
Union and two or three other officers
made tour through northern New
Hampshire appealing to the young
men Of that section TO ennst and pre-
sent themselves at Concord for ex-
animation. Frank Knox, a major in
the Roosevelt Rough Riders of 1898
was the spokesman of the party and
made a stirring appeal to all young
men of good physical condition be-
tween the ages of is and 50 to enlist.
The response was not heavy compar-
ed with that of 1860. In the town
of Lancaster six young men volun-
teered Friday night. compared with
Ito when the call was made in 1860
However. it is probable more will
offer their services if needed and New
Hampshire soon be able to send
a full equipment of men to the front |
for whatever sevice is needed. Maj |
Knox and his party certainly did pa
triotic work for their state and they
are entitled to great credit for their
honor of their state.

Our Education Neglected.

In Paris cafe once the band
started playing 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" There was an American in
the cafe and the Frenchmen had to
tell him to stand up while the strains
we're being played, AT the local band
concert the other evening when the
national anthem was being played
there were less than half dozen
who uncovered. Those that did were
supposed by most to be sufferlng
from the heat, although it was far
from a warm evening. Probably not
all neglected to uncover because OF
Ignorance, as some who knew that 1t
was proper probably felt that in so
doing they would be conspicuously in
the minority. Some of our most pa
triotic citizens would blush to be
caught clapping their hands if Old
Glory was thrown upon moving
picture screen. 1t is a deplorable
condition of affairs and one that
nearly every foreigner remarks upon
seeing. The solution would seem to
be in the public schools. Times may
have changed since we went to the
common schools, but we do not re-
member that this little mark of re-
spect for the national anthem and
the colors was ever very forcibly inn
pressed upon us. Even if the schools
do their share it might not have the
desired effect If the adult population
showed a complete ignorance or in
difference every time an occasion was
offered to salute the colors.
In a recent humorous article by
Ring w. Lardner, the author was
describing a lazy man who was so
lazy that HE would rather go to the
electric chair and be sure of sitting
down, than to a theater where he
would be running a chance of having
to stand up if the orchestra should
chance to play The Star Spangled
Banner

Mistaken Ideas of Peace.

These doctrines, II followed by the
President, would have led to a break
with Mexico long ago. Had they
prevailed the United States would
now. in all probability, be in the third
year of a war with the neighboring
republic. 1t would by this time, quite
likely, have lost tens of thousands Of
it's young men and tens Of millions of
its treasure. and it would have been
so tied up in it's own difficulties that
IL could not exert the influence Of a
tirst-class nation in general interna-
tional affairs.-Christian Science
Monitor.
We cannot quite agree with the
idea that a vigorous and manly policy
in Mexico would destroy our influence
in international affairs. On the con-
trary we believe that failure to act
with courage and firmness in this
Mexican matter has seriously crippled
our influence with other nations. This
nation cannot expect to win great in
fluence in international affairs by re-
fusing to perform it's duty any more
than an athlete can develop his
strength by refusal to exercise.
Some papers are asking what the
United States will gain by invading
Mexico and bringing about order
there. First, it would demonstrate to
the world that an American citizen
wherever he is. 1t would teach the
Mexicans that banditry and lawless-
ness must end and that it must main
tain a government capable of sup
pressing these evils if it is to have a
government. People who cannot
govern themselves are not entitled to
self government in Mexico any more
than. in this country. 1t would guar
antee protection to the American citi-
zens living along the Mexican border.
People there have the same rights to
life, liberty and happiness that the
people of New England have, and it
is a binding duty on the whole nation
to make those rights secure. We
would feel the government should
come to our rescue if our wives and
children were being outraged and
murdered by foreign bandits, and we
should as freely give our service for
the protection of the men, women and
children of Texas and New Mexico.
That these rights cannot be secured
without punishment and subsection of
the lawless elements of Mexico has
been conclusively demonstrated in the
past three years. No more American
lives should be sacrificed to convince
this country of that fact. Yet our
president in public speech declares
his determination not to fight for
American citizens at home or abroad,
and some papers defend him in this
disgrace. We believe they are
wrong and that the majority of this
country believes in maintaining the
rights of Americans, even if war is
necessary; also that this country
would have a greater international
influence if it demonstrated it's ability
to perform its national duties. The
sacrifice is great but the rewards of
law-abiding neighbor to the south of
us would be greater than any sacrifice
we must make and our national in
tegrity must be maintained at any
cost.
